Elsa opened her eyes. The sun is already shining brightly, and the birds are chirping cheerfully outside. Elsa rubbed her eyes and then she sat up, before tossing the sheet away and then rose to her feet. She turned around and then her icy blue eyes met the sight of her towel. The spot where she accidentally put it is quite damp as well. So she must've fallen asleep after taking the bath.
Elsa put the towel at the towel rack, and then she made the bed. It didn't take a long time – probably only five minutes. After making the bed, Elsa took some clothes from the cupboard and get changed in the bathroom.
As Elsa exchanges her clothes, her mind started to work. She still remembers about Jack's conversation with Tooth last night, including Tooth's intention of matchmaking them. Elsa chose not to think about it, because Tooth sometimes can be really crazy.
The platinum blonde haired girl made her way to the door and then grabbed the knob, before yanking the door open. Her eyes instantly met the sight of Tooth, grinning at her. The fairy looks exhausted and Elsa can see some bags under her eyes. The fairy opened her mouth and greeted Elsa. "Good morning, Megan! Did you sleep well?"
"Good morning Tooth. Well, I did. How about you?" Elsa responded. Tooth made a face.
"I didn't sleep last night! I have sooo many things to do! You can see it right? The bags under my eyes?!" Tooth pointed at her bags, which Elsa has already noticed. The girl nodded with pitiful eyes.
"Poor you, Tooth. You can sleep in my room, if you wanted to." Elsa offered to the fairy. Her face brightened, she stared at Elsa happily.
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you for, Megan! And you discovered it even earlier than I thought you would. I'll be sleeping then!" Tooth exclaimed joyfully, she entered the room gracefully. Sometimes it made Elsa question herself – Tooth is really hyper and energetic like a kid but she always acts gracefully like a lady.
Suddenly Tooth turned around, as if sensing Elsa's gaze. "Look, Megan, I think you better grab some bite. The other guardians are having breakfast right now." she said. Elsa nodded obediently.
"Yep, you were right. I was going to have some breakfast, anyway. Well.. see you later, Tooth. I'm off." she said, and then she waved at the fairy before leaving her behind. Elsa hurried to the dining room, and when she is arrived, three pairs of eyes met hers.
It was North, Jack, and Bunny. Jack smiled at her, and then tapped the empty seat beside him – gesturing her to come. Elsa walked towards the chair and then sat on it. North and Jack are eating.. what is it – rice porridge? She doesn't know. And Bunny, he isn't eating anything. But there is an empty bowl in front of him – so he must've done eating.
"Hey, how was your sleep?" Jack asked – he dropped his voice into a whisper. He leaned to Elsa, so she can hear him better. Elsa smiled at her.
"Well.. I slept well. How about you?" Elsa replied.
"I only slept for 2 hours but it was okay. Why don't you get anything for your breakfast?" Jack said to her. Elsa looked around, and then her eyes found some elves walking to her, carrying a plate on their heads. For Elsa, the elves look really cute and she just wants to keep them all, but – well, it's impossible.
Apparently the elves brought her some cookies. Jack looked at her breakfast enviously. "They made you cookies! How lucky! They served me a tasteless rice porridge." he said with jealousy, his arms folded across his chest. Elsa grinned at him.
"If you wanted some, you can take it, Jack. I wouldn't can finish them all alone, you know." she said. Jack's eyes brightened.
"You serious?!"
"More than just a serious." Elsa smirked. Jack smiled and then his hand made its way to Elsa's plate, but then it bumped to Elsa's hands. Jack's face turned crimson.
"Sorry! I-I think, I'm just too hungry and is really hurried–"
"Oh God, Jack, it's fine!" Elsa said, then she laughed. Jack grinned sheepishly, and then he took some of Elsa's food.
"Anyway, do you want to go with the wind again with me today?" Jack asked her with his typical grin.
"Again, Jack?" Elsa replied. "Where are we going, anyway?"
"I don't know, the wind takes me to wherever it wants~" Jack answered easily, he took a bite of one of the cookies. "So, do you want to? The other guardians have a lot of things to do today. Easter is close, so Bunny is busy preparing it. Sandy? You know, you hardly see him here. He is way too busy taking care of the kids. North? I don't know what he is going to do today, he won't tell. And Tooth?" he laughed. "She said she became less hard-working and so she won't be coming to North Pole for two days." Jack looked around. "Where is she?"
"She is sleeping in my room." Elsa grinned. "Fine.. I'll go with you then."
"Good girl!" Jack said gleefully, he ruffled Elsa's hair. The girl frowned and then pushed his hands away from her hair.
"You're messing my hair! Thanks God I haven't braided it. I am so lazy to fix my hair if it's already braided." Elsa said, still with a frown on her face that created creases on her forehead. Jack chuckled.
"You know what? I found it really cute when you are frowning." Jack said, he gazed at Elsa with meaningful stare. Elsa blushed immediately, and then she looked away.
"W-why?" Elsa asked, she stuttered a little.
"I don't know. You're really cute, after all." Jack teased her. He pinched Elsa's cheek, which made Elsa's heart beats faster. She smacked away Jack's hand and then glared at him.
"D-don't pinch my cheek!"
"Why?" Jack grinned, knowing that he succeeded of making Elsa blush. She is always really cute when that pale skin is being covered by colors.
"J-just don't! You know, it hurts.." Elsa said. Jack smiled.
"Okay, fine~ anyway, you better finish those cookies before I take over them, okay?" Jack spoke to her with threatening tone. Elsa quickly nodded and then took her plate away.
"Don't you dare get any closer!" she said. Jack laughed joyfully.
"Nah, we'll be arriving at the place in probably a minute." Jack said.
"How come could you be very sure?" Elsa asked the winter spirit, her arms are already around him again. Jack rolled his eyes.
"Because I've done this thousand a lot of times, Elsa!" he said, and then he covered his mouth. Elsa got the look of shock on her face.
"W-what? Who did- what-.."
"I said, Elsa." Jack responded, trying to keep his voice steady. He casted a glance at Elsa, and found out that the girl is nibbling her lips with a mixture of shock and scared look on her face. Jack drew in a breath. "You know, you don't have to lie to me about your real name. I'll find out eventually."
"I-it was.."
"I won't blame you about this." Jack said. "Everyone has their own secrets. So there must be a reason why you hide your name and identity. It's okay, Elsa, I won't tell the other guardians."
"T-that's not it!" Elsa stuttered. "I was just scared before, in case you know about my real life and you were going to tell them that I.." she broke off, and chose not to continue. Jack smiled.
"Whatever – but is it okay if I call you Elsa?" Jack asked. Elsa hesitated for a moment, before replying him.
"Er.. sure," she said.
"Good then! I like this name more than your fake name, anyway~"
Elsa smacked Jack's back. "I suppose you always seduce people, Jack!" she said. Jack burst out laughing.
"No, I don't! Seducing people? I'm not a manslut, okay?" he grinned before saying, "and it's because I like teasing you. I've told you before, that you look really cute when you're frowning."
"Fine.. then I'll always smile now." Elsa responded, her lips are already pulled into a smile. Jack chuckled.
"I apparently haven't finished my sentences. You look cuter when you are smiling." Jack said.
Elsa rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll keep my face expressionless from now on!"
"I can't believe it, the wind took us to this place again." Jack said confusedly, he swept his gaze around the place. "This library again.. I suppose you've some books to read, Elsa?"
".. no?" Elsa replied, she raised a brow.
"This is so peculiar.." Jack said. "Whatever, let's get in then."
"I don't want to." Elsa said to him firmly.
"Oh, come on. Why?" he asked her. Elsa folded her arms across her chest with stubborn look on her face.
"The last time I went to this place, well... yesterday – I met my old friend. What if I meet him again today?" she shook her head. "I won't let it. You can go, Jack. I'll wait here."
Jack shrugged. "Whatever, it's up to you. Just.. don't run, okay?" he requested Elsa, and then she nodded obediently. Jack then left her, and he went in the bookstore.
Elsa leaned to a tree as she awaits for Jack.
"Oh God, why do we have to go to this place again?" Mary rolled her eyes. Anna stared at the building hopefully, before averting her gaze to her cousin, who is standing beside the brown haired boy, Anderson. He is staring at the building expressionlessly.
The only thing that made him come to this place is Elsa. He wished to find her here. Well, why not?
"Come on, Mary, let's get inside!" Anna pulled Mary's hand. The girl refused.
"I don't want to!"
"But you're already here, girl." Anna said to her with triumph grin. Mary rolled her eyes again, but finally she allowed Anna to drag herself to the bookstore. Like yesterday, there aren't many people here.
So it will be easier for me to look for Elsa.. Anderson thought.
And that time, his eyes found the sight of Elsa, again.
The girl is leaning to a tree, doing nothing. She looks like she is waiting for something, and attempted to be really patient. She has her hands placed on her hips, and the only thing that she seemed to be doing is nibbling her lips.
Anderson wanted to come to her and talk to her again.
And hug her again..
Oh no, Anna was right. He fell for Elsa.
Anderson shook his head, he has been having a lot of thoughts nowadays. He should better forget about Elsa. Most of his thoughts are about Elsa. About where is she staying, about her activity and the people around her..
I've got to forget her!
So Anderson finally got back to reality and found out that he was left. Anna and Mary are no longer with him. Damn you guys, he thought. He hurried to the bookstore and got inside.
He looked for strawberry blonde hair – which is Anna's – and auburn hair, which is Mary's. He found them at the cashier, talking to the old man, Mr. Banker. Whatever they are talking about, it's not important.
The thing that important is, that he saw Elsa.
I wish Elsa haven't gone when I get back, Anderson wished inwardly.
So he made his way to his friends, and when he is finally near enough to grab Mary's sleeve and whisper to her ear, he did. The girl stared at him quizzically at first. "What is it, Anderson?"
Anderson lowered his head. "I saw Elsa."
The auburn haired girl's eyes widened, and then she stared at Anderson with shock. "Are you sure?" she replied. "She can't be here, you know. Well, but.."
"What? Who did I see then, if she didn't come?" Anderson retorted. He gazed at Mary with I-want-you-to-trust-me look. Mary looked around.
"Where did you see her?"
"She's outside." Anderson said. "Come on."
Anderson pulled Mary by her arm, but she shook her head. "You forgot Anna, bro. You forgot that Anna is her sister." she said. Anderson flushed, and then nodded.
"Anna!" he called out for her, and then the girl took her gaze from Mr. Banker. She approached them with her typical smile.
"Yeah? What is it, guys?" she replied. Her smile vanished when she saw the look of both of her friends. One have the look of shock, and the other have the look of confused.
"Look, Anna, I saw Elsa." Anderson said. Anna nearly dropped her book that she has been bringing, but in the end it's her jaw which dropped. (wait what?)
"Are you sure?! Where?" Anna questioned him.
"Outside of the bookstore. I wish she's still there, though." Anderson said. "Shall we come to her?"
"Yes! We shall not waste this opportunity! Let's take Elsa back to the kingdom!" Anna said. Anderson nodded in agreement, and then the three made their way to the door. After getting out of the bookstore, Anna and Mary followed Anderson.
"She is still there.." Anderson sighed. "Should we talk to her, or..?"
"We better get her out of the reality!" Anna said. It took a moment for Anderson to realize that it means they've got to make Elsa pass out. Anna has already walked towards Elsa.
"A-anna?"
She did.
She smacked her sister hard at the neck, and then Elsa fell to the ground. Anderson ran to her, and then lifted her. "She really passed out! Anna, you are way too powerful." Anderson said to Anna.
"Well, haha.. I'm sorry, that's the only way."
"Okay, let's get going then."
"Elsa? I think there is no interesting book there, so.." Jack's jaw dropped when he didn't find Elsa right at the place where he left her. "Elsa...?"
He folded his arms across his chest. "Don't try to fool me, you ice queen!" he said, trying to look ignorant. "Get out of your hiding place, Elsa. We've got to get back to North's!"
But nobody responded his words.
Jack got panic. "Elsa! I am serious! Where are you?"
Jack swept his gaze around the place, and he found nothing. He didn't find Elsa. "Oh God, he really is missing.." Jack rubbed his temple. "I shouldn't have asked her to come and accompany me.."
