"This is really short notice..." Anna said worriedly.
"C'mon Anna-banana, I haven't seen you in forever! It's one night out, you don't have work, what's stopping you?" The feminine voice over the phone asked.
"My broken down car." Anna deadpanned.
"I will pick you up! C'mon it's been forever. Do you want me to die of loneliness? I'm like a rabbit, I will die without companionship."
"That's a myth, Punzie." Anna rolled her eyes.
"No it's not!"
"Is too."
"Whatever, just c'mon, I will pick you up. What other excuse can you have?"
Anna's eyes slid to her hallway containing her bedroom door. "I promised to hang out with a friend." A lie.
"Bring them too!"
Anna tried to imagine Elsa in the place that Rapunzel wanted her to come to.
She envisioned many humans frozen in place.
"I don't know if thats a good idea... She's shy." Another lie.
"Oh my god, that's perfect. What better way to help a shy person open up than to take them out? Please Anna-banana, who knows when we can hang out again."
Anna bit her lip. She hadn't seen her cousin in ages, or at least it felt that way. She did want to see Rapunzel...
"Okay..." Anna agreed, though she looked even more worried than before.
"Great! I'll be there by eight! Be dressed to kill!" And then the dial tone.
Anna put her phone down and chewed on her lip as she thought about what would need to be said. She could do this! She knew Elsa better than anyone... on this planet at least. She could convince the alien, and who knows, maybe it would be good for her. With thoughts like that in mind, Anna got up and went to her bedroom door. Well, it was more of Elsa's bedroom at this point. Which Anna didn't know why, she'd learned from Elsa that the alien did not require sleep. It explained why Anna sometimes woke up to find Elsa watching T.V. in the early morning.
"Elsa?" Anna called as she knocked and then opened the door.
"What is it, human?"
Anna opened the door to find Elsa sitting on her bed, laptop in her lap. Nothing new there.
Well... the fact that it was on and working was definitely different.
"You fixed it?" Anna asked in disbelief. She was sure that laptop was a goner, she had... dropped it in water, completely submerged it. How? Well she'd rather not remember.
"Fixed? Fixing would imply that I restored it to what it was before. No, I have not fixed your laptop. I have modified it to suit my needs." Elsa told her.
Then the 'laptop' did something Anna wasn't expecting.
"Well hi there!" The laptop spoke, voice sounding very... enthusiastic.
Elsa paid it no mind and continued to type away on the keys.
"Did it just talk?" Anna asked, looking suspicious, as if her mind was playing a trick.
"I sure did. You must be Anna, I have so much data on you. It's nice that you only have sex for fun and not babies, i've heard it's a terrible experience."
Anna's eyes widened. "What the hell? Elsa?!" She shouted, wondering why the heck her laptop knew that she had...well done that stuff.
"I have modified your laptop to a..." Elsa sighed. "There is no proper word in your English language. Let's say it is... a super computer." Elsa tried, though clearly she did not think a super computer could match up to her creation.
"Super computer? What? Don't compare me to their primitive technology." The computer said, laughing in an easy, if not child-like manner.
Anna gaped. There were two of them now.
"This isn't... like dangerous right?" Anna asked, she didn't know why, she just figured that Elsa was naturally... well dangerous.
"I can be very dangerous. Would you like a demonstration? Any humans you don't like? I'll gladly terminate them for you, Anna." Then the laptop vibrated, much to Elsa's annoyance.
"No, no killing." Anna quickly said. The laptop let out a whine and Elsa gave it a smack to get it to stop vibrating in her lap. "This is... well it's amazing Elsa but-"
"I do have a name you know." The laptop cut her off.
"Yeah? What is it?" Anna was expecting some complicated name in Elsa's native tongue, something she could never pronounce.
"Why, I'm Olaf! I like warm hugs and destruction!" He announced happily.
Elsa gave the computer another smack. "As you can see, I have not worked out all of the faults." Elsa said easily, causing Olaf to whine again. When Anna said nothing, Elsa thought she wanted more information. "I transfered a copy of my Kilkutanalinius' memory to this laptop." Elsa said easily, as though Anna was supposed to understand the verbal vomit she just spewed out.
"Your... what?" Anna asked, horribly confused.
Elsa held up her bracelet and shook her wrist to emphasize it. "It is what you human's would call an A.I unit. My Kilkutanalin-" Elsa noticed the look on Anna's face. "My 'bracelet' has a mind of its own in a way. A controlled mind that cannot think past what its programmed, but a mind no less. I copied its memory into this laptop. However... it would seem the transfer did not go as planned." Elsa looked annoyed by this.
"She means that i'm not acting like a normal A.I. just because I named myself. Which is totally stupid, am I right? Who doesn't want a little personality with their equipment? I say screw the old version of me trapped in your 'bracelet' and say hello to the new and improved Olaf!" The laptop vibrated heavily.
Elsa growled and the shaking stopped. "I believe it is the fault of the equipment and not the transfer. It would seem your human technology does not blend well with my A.I."
Anna reached up and rubbed her forehead. When she saw Elsa taking apart the broken laptop, she didn't expect her to... well to not only put it back together and fix it, but to also add an Artifical Intelligence to it. And why was it named Olaf? That was... so plain. Wouldn't it normally be named after something in Elsa's langauge like her bracelet? Wasn't it also dangerous for an A.I. to have a personality like that? Weren't they supposed to be robotic and unfeeling? Olaf seemed... well cheerful and apparantly happy to cause destruction. And a warm hug? Like, what? Why would a laptop want a hug?
Anna just tucked it away into the back of her mind, just like she tucked away the memory of Elsa walking in on her on the toilet after she had some mexican food that had a horrible result, but damn her if it wasn't delicious.
"Elsa, I just came back here to invite you out."
Elsa continued typing away, not sparing a glance. "Where? For what reason?"
"Well, it's like a get together with some friends. Well I only know one person and that's my cousin Punzie. She will be bringing some of her college friends and we're all going out to a club. I've never been to one and it does sound kind of fun." Anna said, hoping Elsa would bite the bait on her own.
"Why should I join you? It does not seem like I could learn anything or desire anything from this trip?"
"Oooo, rejected." Olaf laughed.
Anna glared at the laptop, wondering if Elsa modified it enough to be invulnerable to a dip into the bathtub like last time. "It'll be fun, Elsa. We hang out, talk a bit, maybe dance. Also Rapunzel's driving us so it's ok for us to drink." Anna said.
"I do not have a need to drink fluids." Elsa quickly reminded her, however she did look up. "Do you desire that I come?"
Straight for the heart. "W-well... you don't have to... but yeah I do want you-"
"Then I shall come." And Elsa went back to her laptop.
Anna blushed lightly. "Okay... great. Just uh... wear whatever you want. It's just a ladies night out." Anna told her, to which Elsa nodded her head, fingers typing away.
Anna learned it was not a girl's night out.
"The name's Flynn, Flynn Rider." The devishly handsome man held out a hand to Anna.
Anna blushed a bit, when Rapunzel had called her to come down to the car, she didn't say that there would be a handsome guy with her.
I... I knew it! I'm not gay! She ignored the fact that it was possible to find both genders attractive.
Rapunzel cut them off by smacking his hand down. "This is my boyfriend, Eugene." She laughed.
Eugene, pouted, but let it slide. "Red hair, gorgeous looks, you must be Anna. I've heard so much about you from Rapunzel."
"That's funny... because I haven't heard a thing about you." Anna was glaring at her cousin.
Rapunzel merely laughed. "I wanted it to be a surprise!"
"And your hair, when did that happen?" Anna asked, looking at Rapunzel's short cut hairstyle.
"Oh this? Lost a bet in college. Don't regret a thing though, I think it looks great." She further proved this by running a hand though her hair.
"And who might you be? Anna's friend?" Eugene asked Elsa.
"Yes, I am Elsa." She did not offer her hand to shake even after Eugene thrust his own out.
"Enough with the introductions, we've got a party to get to!" Rapunzel said excitedly, grabbing both Anna and Elsa and sticking them in the backseat. Well, she grabbed Anna anyway, Elsa gave her a look that told her she did not like to be touched.
While Anna and Rapunzel kept the vehicle full of chatter, Elsa remained silent. Anna had told her before they came down that she didn't need to 'kiss the asses' of these humans. The only thing she told Elsa was to try her best not to hurt anyone. She told Elsa not to be so... 'twitchy' as the human called it. Anna promised tonight would be fun. Elsa, remembering the gaming device that Kristoff brought over, decided to indulge Anna. The games had been... addicting, Elsa did not exactly have 'fun' with them, but she did enjoy her victories that she had gotten over Anna. Surely this would be much the same.
Elsa found out that clubs were not as enjoyable as games.
Everything was so loud and obnoxious. The dark setting, the strange colored lights, the amount of people bumping into one another. And what was that smell? It was familiar, something she had smelled before. It wasn't... unpleasant, but it was so strong, so different than before. She was sure she had smelled it on Anna before. It was always so faint though. Was it human musk? Pheromones? Or was it their filthy smelling soap, as Anna called it. Ugh, and that was another thing. This place stunk! It smelled of the false scents that humans used to attract mates. She'd learned that from Anna after seeing the girl spray on the filthy smelling stuff before coming out tonight. Anna had tried to spray her with it, to which Elsa threatened a harsh lashing if she did.
"Oh, there they are! Hey, guys!" Rapunzel called out to a group sitting at a booth.
Rapunzel guided everyone over before forcing them to make room for the new arrivals. "Guys, this is Belle." She pointed to the brunette beside her. "That's her boyfriend. We all call him Beast. Though Belle calls him that for different reasons." Rapunzel hinted, causing Belle to smack her arm. "This is Ariel." She pointed to a redhead, her hair taking on more of a crimson than Anna's. "Finally, that's her boyfriend, Eric." She pointed to a dark haired young man.
Rapunzel went on to introduce Anna and Elsa, everyone saying hello and greeting one another. Elsa and Anna were on opposite sides of one another, both of them sitting at the end of the booth, barely hanging on with how many people were there. While Elsa did not talk, she did watch Anna become engrossed in conversation with everyone at the table. She watched this for ten minutes before deciding that this was not most certainly not as interesting as the gaming device from before. Still, If Anna was having fun, then Elsa supposed she could withstand it. After all, no one was bothering her and she was allowed to observe humans in a different environment.
But then the reason Rapunzel really fought so hard for Anna to come, made his appearance.
"Sorry, i'm late, I know."
Elsa watched with disinterest as another man made an appearance. This one with a head of blonde hair, similiar to Kristoff, only he was thankfully not as huge.
"John, really." Rapunzel pouted at him.
"I had a few things to take care of." He smiled, hoping to disarm her.
"Well take a seat." She said, but then gasped in fake surprise, something Elsa did not like. "There's no room. Darn I guess you should take a seat at the bar or something- Oh! Hey! Anna why don't you go keep him company?" Rapunzel said, giving Anna a push.
"What?" But Anna had already been pushed out of her seat.
"What are you going to leave him to sit by himself? Go on, girl." Rapunzel said, getting comfortable now that she wasn't completely smooshed between Anna and Eugene.
"Right..." John looked a little upset, but he wouldn't take it out on Anna. "Would you like a drink?" He asked instead.
"Oh... uh...okay." Anna said, a little embarrassed after realizing what her cousin had obviously planned in advance.
Elsa watched with narrow eyes as Anna left with John.
"Real smooth there, Rapunzel." Eric said with a roll of his eyes.
"Relationships aren't a smooth thing. Sometimes you need a kick in the right direction. She hasn't had a date in years." Rapunzel said with ease, feeling like she was perfectly in the right.
Eugene whistled. "Years? Wow, I can't imagine."
"Aww, can't imagine the single life without me?" Rapunzel nudged him.
"Yeah... sure." He said none to convincingly.
Elsa suddenly stood up, gathering everyone's attention at the table.
"Where you going?" Rapunzel asked, though she had a suspicion.
"To Anna." Was Elsa's simple response.
"Hey, don't be that girl who can't let her friend have fun without her." Rapunzel chastised. "Stay, have a drink, wait for a hot guy to notice you and come over. You don't want to ruin a chance at Anna being happy do you?"
Ruin Anna's happiness? No, Elsa did not want that. Friends made each other happy, she would do that for Anna. So Elsa sat back down, while Rapunzel made Eugene and Eric get up to get them drinks. Rapunzel tried to strike up conversation with Elsa, but she didn't bite, not the least bit interested in conversing with her. Elsa was not privy to everything about humans, but she knew when one was being deceitful. And the way Rapunzel pushed Anna into going with that John guy told her that she had planned it before it happened. Oh well... Anna did not fight it, so surely it was okay to leave them alone. The boys came back and set drinks in front of everyone, Eugene giving Elsa a particularly tall glass.
"It'll loosen you up, make the night a whole lot more fun." He told her.
Elsa simply glared at the drink.
As for Anna, well she was doing her best not to embarass herself in front of a hot guy.
"So, you in college too? Haven't seen you around campus." John asked, the both of them seated at the bar with a drink, courtesy of John.
This was the part Anna hated. "No, no college for me. I uh... work at a pet shelter." She told him, waiting for his disappointment that she wasn't exactly aiming high in life.
"Oh? So you work with animals? That's cool." He said, taking a sip from his drink.
"If wiping down their cages counts as working with them, then yeah, i'm a real expert." She was looking down at her drink.
"Someone's got to do it." He told her kindly.
Well that was better than she expected. "So, i'm guessing Rapunzel tricked you into this as well?" Anna stirred the straw in her drink.
"Not the first blind date she's pulled on me, but it surprises me everytime." He laughed.
"She's been trying to get me for a year now. She told me that we were just going to come hang out with friends." Anna said.
"Same thing."
Anna spared a glance at his face, catching sight of his blonde hair and blue eyes that reminded her of a certain alien.
She mentally smacked herself.
Don't think about Elsa! This is your chance to actually get a boyfriend!
"So, college I take it? Study anything interesting?" Anna asked.
"Interesting? Well..."
And the two talked, for at least an hour they shared stories. And for an hour, Anna forgot she even arrived with a party here. John was funny, confident, charming and sweet all at the same time. He was amazing and Anna had to fight down blush after blush when she thought of what it might be like to really date this guy. He wasn't even disgusted when he told a particularly funny story and made Anna spew alcohol from her nose. He'd just laughed with her. Anna didn't work up the courage to ask him for a dance until much later, but he'd agreed with a smile and led her to the dance floor. He was even charming while dancing, not once did his hands touch anywhere inappropriate... though Anna wouldn't have minded.
The two were blissfully unaware of the storm that was brewing back at the booth.
Elsa chugged down her sixth glass of alcohol, belching afterwards and getting a laugh from the boys. However she didn't care about the boys. No, Elsa's eyes were fixated on the couple on the dance floor, gyrating their bodies to the song. Elsa had been watching for some time, she'd seen the humans 'dance'. It was a strange ritual to Elsa, but she didn't care. All she cared about was Anna, giggling with that blonde haired fool she was with. Elsa didn't question why the world shifted whenever she moved her head or why she seemed to have trouble with balance. She didn't care that her senses were going haywire and she was having a hard time telling up from down. No, she cared about Anna. Anna was her friend, her future lesbian couple, she didn't need that stupid blonde boy. Elsa would be the best for her, she would show Anna the best time, Anna would have fun with her. And she would most certainly stop giving that blonde boy the same looks she gave to Elsa when the two were alone.
Anna was her human.
Rapunzel noticed when Elsa staggered to her feet, gripping the table for balance.
"Need the bathroom? It's in the back." Rapunzel pointed out for her.
"Going to Anna." Elsa slurred horribly.
That sobered Rapunzel up enough to get up. "Hey!" She called as she grabbed Elsa's arm before she could stagger onto the dance floor. "What did I tell you? Don't be that friend. Look if you want to go home I will-"
Elsa turned and growled in a non human way, face so full of murderous rage that Rapunzel let go and backed away a step.
Elsa didn't say anything, just stumbled her way onto the dance floor.
As for Anna, well she was having the best time she'd ever had since her first date in highschool. She laughed like a maniac when John gave her a twirl. She nearly fell, not absurdly drunk, but definitely knocked back enough drinks to fall on her ass when the world span so fast. John caught her though and held her up, laughing with her. And when Anna looked into his eyes, saw his happy face that showed he was having as good a time as her, she went for it. Eyes closed and lips ready, she leaned in for a kiss.
Only to be stopped.
She opened her eyes, wondering why John was holding her back by her shoulders. She saw his nervous face and realized she might have read the mood wrong.
"Sorry." He said, suddenly looking crestfallen. "It's really not you. I know people say that all the time, but I swear it's not." Then he shook his head and looked her in the eyes. "Pocahontas. That's her name. I love her, but our families are a bunch of racist idiots who don't want us to be together. I... I was late because I tried to see her, to bring her here to party. I'm sorry, I really am." He said somberly.
Anna just looked at the ground, defeated. "No its- god its- i'm sorry."
"Nothing for you to apologize for. You've shown me a great time tonight, I just hope that this hasn't ruined the night for you."
Anna gave a small shrug. "It's alright." It really wasn't.
He went to say something else, but that was kind of hard when you were suddenly pushed away and face to face with an angry blonde.
"Elsa?!" Anna blinked as though it weren't her alien friend. Shamefully she had forgotten Elsa was here.
"This is my human." Elsa announced, barely standing on her feet with how much she was swaying.
"Um, i'm sorry? Uh, weren't you at the table before? Hi, the names John." He tried to defuse whatever was going on by playing the friendly card.
Elsa was not in a friendly mood, so she slapped the hand he stuck out.
"I do not-" She hiccuped and burped at the same time. "Care about your pitiful and worthless human name. You are but an ant beneath me. Your existence is that of a speck of dirt in the cosmos. I am better than you. I am more deserving of Anna's affection than you. You shall not have her because she is mine." Then Elsa started fiddling with her bracelet. "Just stand there, human. I shall-" She burped. "Turn you into particles. Just... just give me one minute to scan your body and re-calibrate my system to that of your genetic code."
While John was unaware of the potential danger he was in, Anna was aware.
"Um- John. It's been fun, I had a great time, but I need to tend to my friend." Anna quickly said, getting between John and Elsa.
"Uh... sure. I should be getting out of here. Just uh... did you want my number? Just as friends of course." He asked.
"Number? You wish to call the communication device? I shall not turn you into particles, I shall alter your genetic code into that of a pigs, and watch to see just what happens." Elsa tried getting around Anna, but thankfully she wasn't out to hurt Anna, so the girl was able to keep her back.
"I'll get it from Rapunzel! I'll see you another time." Anna said, grunting with effort at holding her alien friend back.
"Right, yeah. See you around." He said, quickly walking away from whatever was going on.
Anna turned a glare to Elsa who didn't look like she knew entirely where she was, before grabbing her and dragging her off the dance floor. Elsa complained behind her and stumbled a fair bit, almost knocking both her and Anna down on several occasions, but Anna managed to drag her to a corner where there weren't many people. She pushed Elsa against a wall, not roughly, but enough to get Elsa's attention.
"What is the matter with you?! What was that?! How has no one figured out you're an alien yet?!" Anna harshly whispered.
Elsa being Elsa, answered her honestly. "Your species is unaware of life outside their own pitiful world. They would think me a strange human over an alien without proper proof."
Anna got really mad then, mostly because Elsa was right. "That doesn't mean you get to run around threatening to turn someone into dust!"
"Particles." Elsa corrected.
"I don't care!"
Elsa burped. "I can actually do it, you know? Do you not believe I can?" She asked, lower lip jutted out in a pout.
Anna just looked at her in sheer disbelief. Elsa was pouting?! What was going on?! "What happened to you?" Anna questioned instead.
"Nothing. I am being a normal human by participating in human activities. Humans drink when with other humans. Humans dance when other humans dance. Humans defend their friends from venomous snakes out to steal them away." Elsa tried to move, but stumbled back into the wall.
Anna just blinked as she realized something. She pushed Elsa's head with her finger and watched as the alien's head rotated like a ball thrown into a bowl.
"Oh my god... You're drunk." Anna was amazed, and for good reason, who knew an alien could get drunk off of something meant for humans.
"What is drunk?" Elsa asked.
"It's the sensation you have right now." Anna glared at her.
Elsa laughed. "Ooo, I like being drunk. Is this normal for a human. I would quite like to stay this way."
Anna asked the only thing she could. "How? You're an alien."
"How does one get drunk?" Elsa asked, smiling like an idiot.
"You drink alcohol. The drinks that they serve here." She told her.
"Ah yes, I had several beverages purchased by that fool who insisted on using his 'smolder' on me."
"This shouldn't be possible. You're an alien."
"Yes, I am from another world. However my body is human." Elsa told her.
"What? No, I saw your 'body' and you were a big purple-"
"Blue." Elsa corrected.
"Purple." Anna grit out. "Alien with horns and a tail and-"
Elsa reached up and pinched Anna's cheeks. "You humans are so stupid. You believe that shapeshifting means my innerworkings are the same." Elsa mocked, laughing at the inferior species.
"What? How do you-"
"Saw it on the television."
Okay, Elsa really didn't just watch the discovery and history channel.
"Ugh! Just tell me how you're drunk!" Anna just wanted to reach up and wipe that big dopey smile off her face.
"I see I need to take it slow for your feeble monkey mind." Elsa reached up and fiddled with one of Anna's braids. "Humans get 'drunk' from drinking this 'alcohol', correct?" She asked and Anna nodded. "Then it is only fair to assume that I would get drunk as well." Anna opened her mouth to argue that she did not explain a thing, but Elsa continued. "You think I morph on the outside and that's all? Silly human. Cut me open and you will find all of your squishy human organs working within my body. On a genetic level, I am ninety nine percent the same as a human. The only difference is the one percent. That one percent happens to be my... let's call them 'morphing' genes. With a simple thought, I can have them awaken from their dormant state and change my body to whatever I have consumed." Now Elsa was touching Anna's face, rubbing the sunkissed skin of her cheek and marveling at the freckles beneath her fingertips.
"So you're really human, even down to the genetic level? Wow... so- wait did you say consume?"
Elsa fell onto Anna, grabbing her in a sloppy hug and nearly knocking her to the ground. "Enough about me, tell me how you feel Anna. I must know. Do you desire other humans over me?" She asked, lips pressed against Anna's neck as she spoke.
Suddenly Anna felt hot, a little too hot.
"Jesus, Elsa. You're burning up." Anna told her.
"It's the one percent. Sometimes it acts up if i'm not in control of my emotions. And you Anna," She hummed into Anna's neck. "You drive my emotions crazy." Then she laughed. "It's a bad thing too. I was told not to let my emotions drive me. Oh, what did they tell me... ah... conceal, don't feel."
Anna grabbed her shoulders and tried to pry her off, to no avail. "Elsa, i'm worried about you. You're acting... well not like Elsa."
"It's because you abandoned me." Elsa told her, fingers digging into her back. "You told me you wouldn't."
"Elsa I didn't-"
"You left me to fend for myself in this den of humans. All so you could be with him." She spat.
Anna looked down. Had she done that? She thought Elsa would be okay with her friends. She didn't think she'd be away long honestly. She didn't think she'd enjoy John's company so much. She didn't-
Ah... of course... She didn't think.
"I'm sorry, Elsa." She reached up and ran her hands up and down Elsa's back, to which Elsa practically purred.
"Do you desire other humans over me?" Elsa asked again, sounding tired, or relaxed, it was hard to tell with alcohol.
Anna thought about it, and really there was only one answer. "Not a single one." And it was true. John made her feel things, but Elsa... Elsa made her world explode.
She finally got Elsa to let go of her and looked into her half shut and drunken gaze. "You know... I think i've got one more dance in me." Anna hinted with a smile.
Anna watched as Elsa put on a big crooked grin. Then she opened her mouth to say yes, to take Anna onto the dance floor and give her an even better time than John did.
Only Elsa didn't say yes. No, Instead she did what most drunk people tend to do if they drink too much.
She vomited all over Anna's clothes.
"Oh my god!" And then Elsa did it again. "Ugh! That's it, never again! Never will I let you drink again!"
