AN: windstruck07 prompted me over a month ago to do a "first road trip," and over a month later, here I am! Basically, I am trash lol. The formatting is different and weird but hopefully you'll catch on and fill in gaps yourself :3


Hour One

"Keys?"

"Yup."

"Phones?"

"Check."

"Money?"

"No."

"Haha, Jack. Very funny."

"Thanks. I try my best."


Hour Two

"Elsa, I'm getting bored already."

"Do you want me to start driving?"

"Nah, I'll tough it out. But can you find a good CD to play?"

"Phantom of the Opera is an excellent CD."

"Yeah, but it's kind of a buzzkill, especially when we still have, like, a billion miles to go."

"We don't have a billion miles to go…Do you want this Arctic Monkeys album?"

"Oh yeah! That stuff is my shit."

"..I put it in."

"You're the best girlfriend ever, Elsa."

"I try my best."


Hour Three

"Would you ever get a tattoo?"

"What brought this on?"

"I dunno, I'm getting bored."

"Is Flappy Bird not to your taste?"

"No. And that game was out of style five million years ago, Elsa."

"Excuse me."

"Don't evade the tattoo question."

"…Sometimes I think I would want the Roman numeral for two on my wrist, but tattoos are a hassle."

"Why a two? Dude, that's kind of thuggish."

"…"

"Tell me the actual reason, though."

"…Do you really want to know?"

"Yes?"

"This will be a bigger buzzkill than the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack."

"Go on."

"Right…So, I've lost two important people in my life, and I have two important people in my life right now. I used to want to be alone all the time, but Anna told me that no one wants to be alone. So two means there's always a pair."

"…That's really cool, actually."

"Thank you. Do you want any tattoos?"

"Who's to say I don't already have one?"

"What is it?"

"Your name."

"…"

"On my butt cheek."

"…"


Hour Four

"Elsaaaaaaaaa."

"Jaaaaaaack."

"I really have nothing to say."

"Well…If you could be any animal, what would you be?"

"Elsa Arendelle: asking the hard questions. I don't know. I've always like the idea of being a penguin, like one of those freaking hardcore penguins…emperors? I don't know, it'd be cool, I think, being in that type of cold and being able to swim so fast. Is that dumb?"

"No. I think you'd make a very good penguin, for the record."

"Thanks, I guess, ha. If you were an animal, what animal would you be?"

"A bird."

"Like a swan or something?"

"Am I swan-like?"

"I think so."

"Thank you."

"What type of bird, though?"

"…Any bird that could fly, really."


Hour Five

"Jack Frost, please drive with both hands."

"Sorry. Hey, Elsa, we should play Twenty Questions."

"Ha, we played that on our first date."

"We really did! Man, do you remember that?"

"Yes."

"You looked really pretty in that blue dress. I mean, you look pretty all the time, but that blue dress is nice."

"Thank you. You looked particularly dashing in that polo your mother forced you to wear."

"Ah, the things my mother forces me to do for you."

"Really?"

"Yeah, the only reason I'm dating you is because my mom wants us to make 'beautiful babies'."

"Ha ha."

"And with your utter gorgeousness and my immense hotness, there's no doubt that our progeny will be superior."

"You're ridiculous."

"I pride myself on it."

"…Do you remember anything else about the first date?"

"Yup. I remember I took you to that ramen place we both like, and I remember being so nervous that my hands were shaking in my lap and my leg was jiggling like crazy."

"…That's really sweet, actually."

"Anything for you, my queen."


Hour Six

"Oh my God, Elsa, are we almost there? Please tell me we're almost there."

"We're almost there."

"Really?"

"No."

"That's just cruel."

"I'm sorry."


Hour Seven

"Who knew that a road trip could take so much out of you?"

"This is only our first road trip, Jack."

"And it might end up being my last, my God."

"Well, we'll get to see the Pacific really, really soon."

"That's the good part."

"…And also, this is the last thing that we'll get to do together before we go off for school."

"Auch, don't remind me."

"Sorry."

"Nah, it's important to talk about, I guess. When do you leave for St. Louis?"

"Really soon."

"…Yeah."


Hour Eight

"Jack Frost, it gives me immense pleasure to tell you—we made it!"

"Huh?"

"Wake up, sleepyhead. We're here!"

"Oh my God! Really?! Hey, wait, I saw a glimpse of the ocean just—oh dude this view is incredible."

"I know. It's beautiful."

"Are you ready to build a giant sand castle?"

"Incredibly ready."


Hour Nine

"I'm getting tired already."

"You just ran into the waves over and over, Jack. I think you have reason to be tired."

"Fair enough. How's that book you're reading?"

"Really good. I'll give it to you after I'm finished."

"Is reading by the ocean nice?"

"Very."

"You want to go for a walk?"

"Let's go."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Do you think about the future a lot?"

"Honestly, it's all I've been thinking about lately. It's been sapping all my energy, lately, thinking about getting my things to St. Louis and how it's going to change and…"

"You're going to do great things there. I know it."

"I don't know. The future is murky and it'll be hard. And it'll be harder because you aren't going to be there."

"Elsa Arendelle, can I just tell you something before everything has to change?"

"Of course."

"I don't really care about what's going to happen or what's already happened….I just know that there's nobody I'd rather be here with right now than with you."


Hour Ten

"Elsa, I'm not sure, but I think that this is one of the best sandcastles ever built in the history of ever."

"That's high praise, but it just might be true."

"And, God, Elsa, this ocean is the prettiest thing I've seen in a long time."

"I agree."

"I might just have to run into those waves five billion more times, and maybe drag you in a couple million of those times."

"I'd have to fight you on that."

"And you'd win every single time."

"…"

"…"

"Can I just say something, Jack?"

"Yeah."

"First off, I'm a very pragmatic person."

"I know."

"But around you, everything is fun and amazing and it makes everything in life so easy and simple that it's practically impractical."

"…"

"It's impractical to think that we might spend the rest of our lives together like this, that one day we aren't going to change and be nothing more but a memory, that this will still be this.

"It's impractical to imagine that we'll love each other forever, that school won't tear us apart, that life is simple and love conquers all.

"It's all quite silly but…

"But for some reason—I find that I would and I will always exchange everything I have, for one more moment with you."

"…"

"…"

"I love you."

"I know."

"Let's never go back."

"…Yes…Let's."
