Wake up, Princess Snowflake

Ninja Elsa
Chapter 11: I love you
"Anna, where's Elsa?"
Anna looked up from her sketch book. She was drawing a comic of Elsa playing in the snow with a dog and making snowmen. Her cousin Ben was looking at her. "Don't know, why?" She saw the look in the boy's eyes. "Hey, I can see that look. Hands off her."
"Why? You said she's not your girlfriend, so I can handle her all I want. She's not yours." Ben replied.
"She's not your type, Ben."
"Sure she is. She's got the 3B's. Blonde. Bombshell. Boobs." Ben replied. "Her hair is natural, right? It's not a dye job?"
At that moment, Elsa came rushing up to Anna with a smile holding something in her hands.
"Anna! Anna! I did it!" Elsa squeaked.
Anna opened up her mouth to speak but a spoon was shoved in to her mouth.
"Ah! Elwswa! Thot's co-wld. Mmm. Hey! That's good. What flavor is it?" Anna asked. "Wait, you made this?"
Elsa nodded. "Mmm-Hmm." she responded. "I've been hanging out with your Uncle Joey all morning. We made all sorts of ice cream for tonight. I made only two flavors. Lingonberry for me, and maple bourbon bacon for you."
"Oh my god, Elsa! I love you!" Anna squealed. "You love chocolate, food and ice cream just as much as I do, only I don't care for the cooking and preparing part like you."
Elsa blushed and gave her the small bowl of ice cream to finish. "Here. I need to go and help clean up."
"Elsa wait." Anna replied grabbing her by the hand before she ran off. "I want to spend some time with you."
"I'm sorry. Your family members are pulling me here and there. They are treating me like royalty, and I don't mean that literally." Elsa replied with a smile. "I need to clean up the mess we made making ice cream. Then I promise I'll come and spend time with you."
Anna sat back and sighed shaking her head as Elsa ran back to the kitchen. It was exactly what she knew would happen and exactly what she hoped would happen. Elsa had been so upset at the prospect of being away from her home and her family for the first time. She was happy Elsa was enjoying herself, but she wanted to spend more time with her friend.
Several minutes later, Elsa returned. Anna's cousin Ben was still sitting next to Anna on the two person couch. She glared. "Get up, Ben." she replied. "Be a gentleman and let Elsa sit there."
"Why don't you be a lady and let her sit there?" Ben asked.
Elsa giggled behind her hand. "Why don't I sit here, on the big couch?" she replied walking over to the larger couch and sitting down on the right side.
Ben bolted up and sat down next to Elsa. He tried to put his arm around her but Elsa bolted up and to the smaller couch to sit next to Anna. She put an arm around her.
Anna burst out laughing. "So owned, Ben! Nice one, Elsa."
"Thank you." Elsa replied tilting her head slightly with a snicker..
Ben grumbled. "So, Elsa, you ever play Call of Duty?"
"No. I do not have time for video games." Elsa replied.
"How can you not have time for video games?" Ben asked.
"I have my studies. In my free time I paint or play piano. And I love to read." Elsa replied. "I have no need to play console games. I like puzzle games and word searches."
Anna looked at Elsa. "You are going to have to play Super Smash Bros with us. My dad is the current champ."
"Oh! I know that game. I don't play it, but my brother Kristoff does." Elsa replied. "Actually, he won't let me play. I annoy him with my singing. We can play Pikachu and Jigglypuff, Anna."
"You have heard of Pokemon?" Anna asked.
Ben gave his cousin a look. "Of course she knows about Pokemon? Who doesn't?"
"Just because you are obsessed, Ben doesn't mean everyone knows about it."
Ben turned to Elsa. "Trust me. You don't want to be playing the Pokemon in Smash Bros. They suck. I play Link. And if you want a team up, hook up with me. Anna sucks. You should really join in on our Super Mario Cart tourney. Anna doesn't because she always loses."
Elsa chuckled. "I don't think so. I am terrible at console games. And I don't know the first thing about driving, gaming or otherwise."
Ben laughed. "You are such a little princess, Elsa." he replied.
"What?" Elsa asked.
"Beautiful but such a girl." Ben answered. "How can you ever be annoying? I think you singing while playing Smash Bros would be simply adorable."
Elsa cleared her throat and started to sing. "Jiggaly...puff...jiggaly...puff!
Jiggaly...puff...jiggaly"
Anna put her hand over Elsa's mouth. "No. Stop. Stop now."
"Tomorrow, I'm going to teach you how to ski." Ben suddenly announced.
"Um... okay?" Elsa responded as Anna released her.
Ben jumped up from the couch. "WhooHOO! Yes! I'm a certified instructor so don't you worry. You will be in good hands." he exclaimed and ran from the room.
Elsa started to laugh. "He does realize that I'm from Norway and that my country has the most medals of any country in the Winter Olympics, right? I am in my element."
Anna chuckled. "Or that you are a lesbian and he has no chance with you?"
"That too." Elsa replied. "Why do all straight men think that they can turn a gay girl around simply by showing us how 'manly' they are when what they are actually doing is showing us how much we are disgusted by them?"
"I don't know. I never thought of it that way." Anna replied.
"I think that is what I fear the most when I come out to my kingdom. If I thought I had enough men coming to court me and impress me before?"
Elsa was awakened by a familiar knock on her door.
knock knock knock-knock knock
"Anna!" she replied as the auburn haired girl entered holding a small flower pot with a yellow tulip tied with a purple ribbon.
"Good morning, Princess Snowflake." Anna replied placing the pot on the small shelf on the wall. "Did you have breakfast yet?"
"Not yet," Elsa replied raising her bed up. "But I kept dinner down. And I had to call the nurse to pee twice last night!"
Anna chuckled as she pulled up a chair to sit next to Elsa's bed. "Just wait until you get to eat solid food. Then you will have to poop."
The two girls looked at each other. They realized what they were talking about and burst out laughing.
Cecilia walked into the room.
"What are the two of you laughing so hard about?"
Elsa and Anna looked at the Queen.
"Mama, I had to call the nurse twice last night to pee!" Elsa responded with excitement.
"When she starts eating solid food she's going to have to poop!" Anna responded with equal excitement.
Cecilia blinked. "You girls are ridiculous!" and then she joined them in laughter.
"You didn't vomit, Elsa?" Cecilia then said with motherly concern. Her daughter shook her head. "That is good. I warn you though. The food here is awful."
"So I've heard. They brought Papa in for a visit last night and all he could do was complain about the food." Elsa chuckled.
Cecilia smiled. "You know how you father loves to eat, Elsa. Are you at all surprised?"
"No."
Anna turned to Elsa. "So that's who you get it from!"
Elsa nodded.
Cecilia nodded as well. "Thank goodness my daughter has my constitution and metabolism or she would weigh 500 pounds."
"Mama!"
"You would eat more than all three of your brothers combined if you were allowed and you know it." Cecilia replied. "However, I am not scolding you. You have always been a blessing. Thanks to you, you father keeps up on his physical activities. Your father was not always the fit man he is today. He hates to exercise."
Anna though Elsa's father was quite the handsome man. She couldn't picture the King of Arendelle looking bad. "What changed?"
Cecilia chuckled behind her hand just like her daughter did, a motion that Anna had come to find so adorable when Elsa did it, looking just as adorable on the older woman. "There was this little girl who lived in the castle, who simply adored him. She had discovered the secret passages of the castle and sneak into his office without the guards outside the door stopping her when he was not to be disturbed. She took his pads of note paper and created trails for him to follow. He would often find her in her room crying hours later because the housekeeping cleaned up the 'mess' and he didn't find her. Then she learned to write, and would leave notes all about the castle for him to find her or something she left for him."
Anna looked to Elsa. Elsa was blushing. "Oh. my. god. Elsa, you did that? That is just so fricking adorable I want to squish you."
Cecilia continued. "There was one time my husband and I followed a trail of cookie pieces through the castle only to find our little Elsa in the middle of one the many hallways crying with an empty plate."
"Mama, stop."
Anna kissed Elsa on the cheek. "That is just too cute, Elsa."
Trying to change the subject and divert the attention from herself, Elsa looked at her mother. "Where's Kristoff?"
"He's with your father." Cecilia replied. "I am glad you have brought up your brother, Elsa. Your father and I think it's about time that you end this feud resulting from the death of Maximus."
"But mother, it's his fault!" Elsa replied.
"Yes, I know that." Cecilia replied. "However, this feud has gone on long enough. For almost a year you refuse to even talk to him. You cannot continue to be angry with him about his mistake. You have done so well controlling your temper I know but you cannot keep it inside. You have to let it go."
"Father says the opposite." Elsa replied.
"I know what he says, but he does not know how beautiful your release can be." Cecilia replied. "And I also fear what it does to you inside if you keep it inside for too long."
Elsa looked to Anna and smiled.
Cecilia looked at her daughter. "Elsa? Is Anna aware of what we are talking about?"
"Yes, Mama. She knows. I revealed my powers to her. She helped me release my anger as well. She knows how 'beautiful my release' can be as well." Elsa answered. "I don't want to be angry with Kristoff. I want an apology, some sort of understanding that what he did, putting that sick reindeer of his in my horse stable was wrong. Nothing more. Just and apology and understanding of his actions."
Cecilia nodded. "I keep telling Kristoff that is all you want, but he insists that you want nothing to do with him. I tell him that you are not like that."
Elsa sighed. "I love animals. Just not as much as him. But he needs to learn responsibility."
"I don't think anyone loves animals as much as he does." Cecilia chuckled. "Yes, he does. I believe that is why your brother sent him instead of Johannes. Jacob is smarter than we often give him credit for."
Anna looked to Cecilia. "Um, I know Elsa is doing the charity concerts, but you could have had other celebrity artists perform, and Kristoff could have come with you?" Anna asked.
"That was the original plan, but Elsa wanted to see you." Cecilia replied. "She begged father to change plans and allow her to come."
Again, Elsa changed the subject to keep the attention away from her. "I know Kristoff resents me because I 'ignore' him. I was seven by the time he was born and deep into my studies. I couldn't run about and play with him the way I did with Jack." Elsa replied. "I feel bad because Jack had begun his studies and training as well as the 'first born son', because Jan has not been a good influence on Kristoff."
"I think that is why Kristoff gets neglected." Cecilia sighed. "Your father and I spend so much time trying to straighten him out, and you spend most of your time with Jack. Jack can handle himself. Your father and I think that you should spend more time with your youngest brother. You can bond over the horses. I know most of the equestrian guards horses like you. Torbjorn especially."
"The horses don't like Kristoff. He owes them an apology as well." Elsa replied. "Another thing before I talk to him. He needs to accept that Anna is a part of my life. Until he does that, I'm going to keep shoving my relationship and my love for her in his face. He doesn't have to like it, just accept it. He doesn't have to accept the whole LGBT thing just that his sister is a lesbian. And do not get me started on Torbjorn, mother. He is damn lucky Matthias thinks so highly of him."
"What is wrong with Torbjorn?" Cecilia asked? "He's a fine young man with an excellent up-bringing. He may be part of the royal line of the Southern Isles but most likely will never inherit as he keeps getting pushed down. I believe he told me he became and uncle to twins so he's now 22nd?. I don't know what it is about those Southern Isles Kings having so many children. He would make a good husband you know. I believe he asked your father for your hand."
"Ugh. No wonder he was acting the way he did." Elsa groaned. "He kept telling me that I shouldn't waste my time waiting for the love of my life to ask my father for my hand when I had him and someone not of strong sturdy Norwegian blood is below me and not worthy."
"I'm sorry. Your father declined to give your hand to him, obviously because he knows your heart belongs to Anna. He said that he could not give him your hand you are a free spirit and he did not want to clip your wings."
Anna laughed. "That's one way to put it."
Cecilia smiled. "Back to Kristoff, Elsa."
"As I said before, mama." Elsa replied. "I am a lesbian. That's not going to change. He has to accept that."
Cecilia sighed. "That may be harder than you think for him."
"Then I won't talk to him. I will forgive him for the death of Maximus and stop being angry with him even if he won't apologize. I still want one. But if he can't accept Anna then I want nothing to do with him." Elsa replied.
"Elsa, he is your brother."
"Yes. And Anna is my girlfriend and soul mate." she replied. "I can live in a world without Kristoff; I cannot live in a world without Anna."
"You have lived without her for three years. Kristoff is always around, young lady." Cecilia replied.
Elsa sighed. "I ignore Kristoff. I do not see him every day, mother." She replied. "I have pictures of Anna on my phone. I have pictures of her on the hard drives of my iPad, my lap top and my desk top. I have pictures of her on my walls. I have drawing of her in my sketch books. I have sketch books devoted to drawings of her. I have countless paintings of her in storage. I have a portrait I painted of her above my bed watching over me. I sleep with the stuffed dog she gave me instead of Olaf now. I write music for her. I can't stop thinking about her. She has been a part of my life every day since I graduated. She's more a part of my life than Kristoff ever has."
Anna stared at Elsa. "Wow, Elsa. That's a lot of me. Obsessed much?"
"No. I just miss you terribly."
There was a knock on the door. "Breakfast."
Elsa was served vegetable broth, orange gelatin, apple juice and tea. Anna made Elsa her tea. "Thank you, Anna. I hope this is my last liquid meal."
"I hope so. Then I can take you out to eat." Anna replied.
"For bread and gravlaks?" Elsa asked.
Anna chuckled. "I don't think so. That will have to wait until later or you go back home. I found a deli here but it's just not the same. Doesn't compare to my Uncle Joey's smoked or your cured salmon. But I have found a few good burger joints though."
"I miss Grill Em All."
It was nearly six o'clock when Belle and Elsa had had just about enough of Hans. He had decided to actually study most of the time. They were amazed at what little he actually knew. During a restroom break Belle promised to talk to Beast about making sure Hans didn't make a huge media scene about how the "Princess of Arendelle" refused to help him pass his classes. Elsa was reassured. Belle had texted Beast about how the session was going and how she didn't want to leave Elsa with Hans for their date. When the game was over, which was a 43-7 romp, Beast told Belle to meet him at Fat Sal's. His fellow defensive linesmen had dared him to take on the Big Fat Fatty challenge.
"Well," Belle replied as she let out a stretch. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving, and Beast is waiting for me at Fat Sal's. How about we call it a night. You all are welcome to come along."
Hans put an arm around Elsa's shoulder. "Elsa and I are having dinner."
Elsa clenched her fists. "Kindly remove your arm from around my shoulder, Mr. Markussen before I do something I will regret."
"Oh, come on, Elsa." Hans replied. "I told you. I know who to show a girl a good time. I'll take you some place nice. Not a joint like Fat Sal's."
Anna stood up and removed Hans arm from her girlfriend's shoulder. Hans glared at her. "Trust me, Hans. It's best that you do as Elsa says." she replied. "She's not in the best of moods, and you do not want to make her angry."
"Oh really? I love it when a girl gets angry." Hans teased. "The sex is amazing."
Elsa pushed her chair away from the table. "If you will excuse me."
Anna watched as Elsa ran toward the stairway. She packed up Elsa's things as well as her own, and then turned to Belle. "Hey, Belle, Fat Sal's sounds good. Been meaning to try the place. Elsa and I were heading out to Grill Em All but I don't want to drive out there this late and besides, with the mood she's in, she will probably torture me with her Norwegian Black Metal all the way. Do not want that. We will meet you there."
Hans looked at Anna. "Stop saying such unkind things about Elsa."
"Wait, what? I'm confused."
"Not surprising." Hans insulted. "A beautiful girl like Elsa would not be listening to heavy metal. Don't say things like that."
"You don't know her like I do. Elsa likes to head bang to Enslaved playing at full blast while cleaning her apartment. Sometimes she sings along. Heavy metal is tolerable. Black metal is torture. Now I am going after Elsa. Why don't you go home and study." Anna replied. "A one day cram session will is nice but you need to study more."
"Don't you lecture me about my studying. I don't see you studying with us." Hans replied.
"That's because I don't have music classes." Anna replied. "I was 'studying' however, unlike you who spent most of the session making passes and lewd comments. I was drawing illustrations for one of my classes. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to find my girlfriend."
With that, Anna stood up. She gathered her things as well as Elsa's and took off toward where she thought Elsa had gone.
Anna found her girlfriend outside sitting in a puddle of what she assumed was once ice in the center of the plaza circle. She sat down next to her. "Elsa?"
"I'm sorry, Anna." Elsa responded softly. She noticed Anna had her things. "I didn't mean to run away. Thanks for bringing my things. You are sitting in my puddle."
"Yes, I am." Anna responded with a kiss to Elsa's cheek. "Melted ice? I am assuming you didn't deliberately sit in a puddle of water."
Elsa chuckled behind her hand. "I sort of 'farted' ice? I stormed out of the building paced around the circle and plopped myself down in the center here and found myself sitting on a sheet of ice."
Anna burst out laughing. "You are a princess. Princesses aren't supposed to fart."
"You obviously haven't met the Crown Princess of Arendelle." Elsa replied with a sarcastic smile. "She farts, curses and eats like a pig. She will even pick her nose. She stops at eating boogers. That's her brother Kristoff's job."
"Have I told you lately that I love you, Elsa?" Anna asked.
"Yes." Elsa smiled kissing Anna on the cheek. "But I never tire of hearing you telling me that. I love you too, Anna."
"Speaking of eating like a pig. Change of plans for tonight? Instead of driving to Alhambra what do you say to staying here?"
"I don't mind. You wouldn't like me very much in the car tonight." Elsa replied. "I would be taking over your car stereo and cranking the black metal tonight."
"That's what I was afraid of." Anna snickered. "But seriously, we have always wanted an excuse to go to Fat Sal's right? Beast is going to do the Big Fat Fatty challenge. We ought to go and support him."
Elsa stood up and extended a hand. "First we go back to our apartments to change out of our wet pants. People are not going to think they are wet because we sat in a puddle of my melted ice. They we go to Fat Sal's."
Anna took Elsa's hand and allowed her girlfriend to help her up. "Sounds like a plan."
"May I have my phone? I need to text Belle to tell Beast to wait for us. I'm going to join him on the challenge."
"Wait what? You are going to try and eat that sandwich? Elsa, I think it must weigh more that you do! I know you eat a lot, but really? Seriously? Have you seen the size of that thing?" Anna replied as she handed Elsa her phone. They started walking toward their apartment complex.
Elsa's fingers expertly whizzed over the key board. "Yes. I am going to attempt to eat the sandwich. Doing ice magic makes me hungry and I haven't exerted myself like that in a very long time, so I'm quite hungry."
"Elsa, a competitive eater ranked 4th in the world couldn't finish it. She's earned the name 'Suzilla' and she had seven pounds of food left! You only have 40 minutes." Anna replied.
"I want to try."
"It costs fifty dollars if you can't finish it."
"Okay." Elsa replied. "I can pay that. But I don't think I'm going to have to."
Anna laughed. "Oh you don't do you? You think you can out eat Beast?"
"I can out eat all three of my brothers combined." Elsa responded.
"If, and I mean if, you finish it I'll pay you fifty dollars." Anna replied.
When Elsa and Anna arrived at Fat Sal's there was a huge crowd gathered. Beast was ready.
Belle smiled at Anna, who was dressed in jeans and a tee shirt, and Elsa who was dressed in a ice blue blouse and knee length skirt. Belle got Josh's attention.
"Hey, Josh, she's here." Belle replied.
Josh walked up to Belle and Beast. He looked at Anna. "So, are you ready?"
Anna laughed. "I'm not taking the challenge. My girl Elsa is."
Josh looked at Elsa. "You're kidding right? This little princess? You got the fifty bucks?"
Elsa opened her small classic Chanel over the shoulder bag, taking out a small wallet. She took out sixty dollars and handed it over.
"You're serious?"
"Yes."
Beast looked at her and laughed. "You're kidding right?" he asked.
Elsa sighed. "I'm not." she answered. "I'm very hungry."
The defensive linesmen laughed. Beast just stared at Elsa. Gaston walked up to the table where the two were seated.
"You eat more than Beast, my lady, and I will give you the privilege of asking perfection out for a date." he replied.
"I am sorry, but you are not my type." Elsa replied.
"Please don't tell me your gay." Gaston responded. "I have been having the worst luck with women these days."
Elsa giggled behind her hand.
Hans came up beside Elsa. "She's with me, Gaston, so back off." he said as he put an arm around her shoulder.
Gritting her teeth and clinching her fists, frost began to cover Elsa's hands. She hid them from view. The air began to chill. "Please, Mr. Markussen, remove your hand from my shoulder or I will freeze you fucking nuts off."
"Such language, Elsa." Hans replied without moving his hand. "Hardly becoming of a princess."
Anna was at her girlfriend's side. She whispered in her ear. "It's all right, Elsa. You don't want to make a scene. He's not worth your time."
"Yo, Hans." A friendly and familiar male voice replied. "If you know what is good for you, I suggest you take your hand off the lady's shoulder. Can't you take a hint? She's clearly not interested in you."
Hans looked up to see his baseball teammates Chris and Bucky walking up holding Hans. "How would you faggots know about women and that she's not interested, mister 'captain america'. What do you think would happen if I were to reveal that you are a fucking faggot?"
Chris turned to Hans. "I know enough to know a lesbian when I see one, which you clearly don't. Even now with her girlfriend hanging all over her." the baseball catcher replied. "As for revealing 'my secret' it's not really a secret."
Bucky looked at Elsa. "Wait, Elsa, you are sitting on the challenge bench next to Beast. You are not taking the challenge are you?"
"I am." Elsa replied with a smile.
Anna smiled at Bucky. Elsa was warming up and not freezing. "There's a betting pool. Who eats more and who actually finishes. I put five dollars on my girl to eat the most."
"ANNA!" Elsa squeaked.
"Hey! It's okay. Fergus is going to donate the 70% of the money to charity. The other thirty is going to be divided up among the challenge winner and betters 50/50." Anna replied. "I'm the only one betting on you."
"No you're not, Red." Bucky chimed in with a smile. "I'm going to place a bet on my girl Elsa too."
Anna turned to Bucky. "You can place it on who finishes as well as who eats more. I put twenty on Elsa to eat it all. There is also a pool for no one finishing."
"Gotcha. I've seen our girl eat. I believe she can finish. I know she will eat more." Bucky grabbed the arm of his boyfriend. "Come on, Chris. Let's go place our bets."
"But that's gambling." he responded.
"No it's not. Anna said Fergus is donating most of the money to charity. It's just plain fun."
Bucky dragged Chris away.
Hans starred at Elsa. "You are serious about making a fool of yourself aren't you?" he asked.
Elsa took note that Hans arm was still around her shoulder but now her hand was entangled by her girlfriend's. She grinned at Hans. "Tell you what. First remove your arm from my shoulder." Elsa paused while Hans did so. "Someone call over Josh. Hans, take a seat. You too are taking this challenge. I'm paying for you so don't worry about that. If you eat more than I do, then I will go on ONE, and I mean ONLY ONE, date with you. And you must promise NOT to compromise me. I am a princess after all."
Josh was at the table. "The sandwiches are almost ready. Giving up already?" he grinned.
"No. Hans here is taking the challenge. Is there enough to make one more?" Elsa asked.
Anna was getting the money from Elsa's purse.
"Oh boy. Yes. Gonna have to restock early this week." Josh laughed. "Yo Sal! Got another fatty!"
Hans sat at the table. Anna handed Josh the money and glared at Hans who he thought was sitting a wee bit too close to her girlfriend.
"Ahem, Hans. You are sitting a bit too close to Elsa." She replied. "You aren't out on that date yet. And besides, you need to spread out. The sandwich is big and you need room to eat."
Kronk the team center chuckled as he stepped up to the table and pulled Hans, chair and all away from Elsa. "Sorry, Pipsqueak, but the lady is right. You must sit further apart."
Hans angrily glared at the defensive tackle. "How many times have I told you to stop calling me Pipsqueak?"
"Sorry? I can't hear you." Kronk replied. "Did you say something Pipsqueak?"
Several minutes passed and then Josh, Jerry and Sal brought out the sandwiches. The crowd began to chant "Beast Beast Beast" as they placed them in front of the three competitors.
Hans stared at the sandwich. "I have to eat all this?"
"Yes." Jerry replied. "And you only have 40 minutes. Any questions?"
Elsa raised her hand. "May I have a knife and some water?"
Elsa was allowed a knife and a bottle of water.
Sal introduced the three competitors. "Tonight we have not one but three suckers... sorry competitors who think they have what it takes to take done the Big Fat Fatty for the privilege to name a sandwich after them. No one, I repeat no one has conquered the challenge here in Westwood. Will it be your U.C.L.A Bruin quarterback Hans Markussen?"
The crowd welcomed Hans with a round of boos.
"Will it be your U.C.L.A Bruins defensive end Beast Isenberg?"
Beast was greeted with loud cheering and 'woofs'.
"Or lastly, Elsa, Princess of Arendelle!"
Chris, Bucky and Anna cheered loudly.
"BEGIN!" Sal yelled.
Hans and Beast began to eat wildly. Elsa calmly opened her water and used her knife to cut up the sandwich into smaller pieces. People chanted for Beast and some started laughing at Elsa.
Beast was eating in big pieces shoving food into his mouth. Hans was trying to keep up, near choking in the process. Elsa moved her water to where Hans nor Beast could reach it. She started with the jalapeno poppers and then the mozzarella sticks. She then started with the sandwich. She picked up the smaller pieces and took huge bites. She could hear Chris, Bucky and Anna chanting her name.
Fifteen minutes into the challenge, Elsa had managed to catch up with Beast. Hans was falling behind. Beast started eating faster. He was not going to be bested by a girl! Let alone a princess. Elsa ate steadily, picking up the pace a bit, occasionally taking a sip of water.
Twenty five minutes into the challenge, Hans was looking positively green. Kronk stood behind him to make sure he didn't decide to make a mess of Elsa. Elsa had eaten a little over two thirds of her sandwich. Beast was beginning to panic. He really didn't want to be beaten by a girl. Chris, Bucky and Anna were no longer the only ones chanting for Elsa. Beast's tray was a big pile of mess. He also had most if not all of the bread to eat. Elsa's was quite neat, only empty tray was left behind. She shoved in the meats and sauce that dripped from the sandwich into her mouth as she went along. Hans was looking sicker. He desperately wanted that date Elsa promised but he truly had no chance.
Twenty eight minutes into the challenge, Beast was getting desperate. The crowd had turned on the defensive linesman. Chants of 'Elsa! Elsa! Elsa!' rang though the night. Elsa was maintaining the steady pace she started with. She had only a mere six inches left of the twenty seven she started out with. She calmly took a sip of her water as Kronk turned Hans away as the twelve inches that he ate was now in his lap. Kronk moved Hans away from the table. Elsa maintained her concentration. Beast was slowing down but he was determined to at least finish. There was no catching Elsa. Elsa picked up the last bit of her sandwich and put it into her mouth.
"Done!" Elsa replied clocking in at thirty minutes and thirty four seconds. A new record time and only the second woman to finish.
Everyone cheered. The owners were in disbelief. The called out that there was ten more minutes. Beast was determined to finish. He didn't want to be defeated by a girl. Belle cheered him on, as did the defensive line. Hans was looking sick but he was still trying desperately for that date but in reality it was a lost cause.
"Elsa, you did it!"
"I did? I finished in time?" Elsa asked. "I've never had a time limit before."
"You did. You were amazing!" Anna responded.
Elsa chuckled behind her hand. "I wouldn't call making a pig of myself amazing."
Mercifully ten minutes later, for Hans, time was called. Beast looked down at his tray and sighed. He had only about three bites. No one knocked him. It was a valiant effort. No one knew what to expect from Elsa. Hans had only eaten about a quarter of his sandwich, most of which did not stay down.
Beast smiled. "I would. I can't believe you ate all that. I've got a good ten inches left and Belle says I eat a lot. Hans only ate about twelve inches and it didn't even stay in." he replied. "Nice going on the date thing with Hans."
"Cost me fifty dollars, but it was worth it." Elsa replied.
Beast chuckled. "He will still probably pester you."
"Then if he asks what and where I would like to eat, I'm just going to have to suggest sandwiches at Fat Sal's." Elsa replied with an evil grin and Hans moaned.
Sal walked up to Elsa. "Picture time."
Elsa held up her empty tray. Anna put her head on her Elsa's shoulder and pointed with both hands at the tray.
"So, what do you want your sandwich to be?" he asked.
