"Hey~ my beautiful, playful big cousin, Punzie!" I sing songed as I entered her dressing room with a bottle of—maybe... even cheap—champagne. I raised the bottle up in the air as if I was drunk and opened the door quickly.

She gasped excitedly as she saw me entering and right now, I was just extremely happy to see her... actually to see anyone, but just mostly her.

"Banana!" she screamed, tried to get up, but couldn't because of that god, gorgeous wedding gown of hers.

So I ran up to her and gave her hugs and kisses with much love and affection, maybe even more than what I would always give to Elsa. She chuckled as I continued to sprinkle her with kisses. Rapunzel was the only one in the dressing room before I came in anyway.

"Gosh, stop it, you dog! You're gonna get my makeup all messed up and disgusting," she laughed cheerfully, but I was just glad to see her. I hugged her instead. And I hugged tightly, loving the smell of her lavender perfume. I hummed lightly and comfortably on her, nuzzling against her shoulder.

"I missed you, Punzie..." I whispered to her.

"I missed you too, banana. Hey, get off me, you dork before Meg gets in here and start yelling at you for crinkling my dress."

I let go of her with a giggle. I looked at her up and down. "And speaking of dresses, damn honey, you look beautiful. No wonder Flynn wants a wife like you."

She rolled her eyes. "Says the one that wears a freaking strapless red dress and 7 inch heels. What do you have under there? Garter belts or something? You trying to seduce someone or what?"

Funny how I was already seduced by someone. Very funny.

I laughed. "Dude, I have no one to seduce and I am not wearing garter belts, plus—"

"Where the hell are you, Anna Smith?!"

And now I groaned, rolling my eyes.

Shit. Meg. She was Punzie's and my high school best friend. We would always hang out together during that time and while I was away to LA for college, they both went to another college in New York. It wasn't the best, but definitely not the worse. And there, Rapunzel met Flynn, a football jock and a little of a douche bag and a little of a gentleman and a little bit of everything. It was pretty funny when Meg had to give him the "talk" to make sure that he was actually, really, going to take care of Punzie for the rest of his life, dedicating his all to her. If I was there, I'd be by the side laughing anyway.

But god, time went by too fast. Punzie was going to get married in a few hours, Meg found a boyfriend called Hercules, and I... well, Elsa.

Just like that, from a few years until now, we'd all grown up into beautiful, mature ladies with someone that loved them dearly, protective and maybe even a little possessive at times and when needed. And we were happy actually.

We both turned to the door just to see the girl huffing and puffing at the entrance. Great. Meg.

I smiled a bit sarcastically and waved at the woman with a dark blue strapless dress that was wrapped tightly around her waist and heels. "H-Hey?"

She growled and rolled her eyes, heels clanking as she stomped towards me. She looked behind me to Punzie and then back to me, finger pointing at my chest. I gulped.

"You!"

"M-Me?!" My eyes widened in horror.

"How dare you look for Rapunzel first and not me! And did you go and freaking take a chocolate muffin and you know, eat it?!"

"N-No?!"

"Yes you did! And you were not supposed to do that!"

"W-Why am I getting yelled at?!"

She sighed and backed away, crossing her arms. "You come back to New York after a five hour flight and you don't even come announce yourself to me or your parents or any other people but Punzie? You even stole food!"

"I did not steal food!" They were quiet now. "Okay, maybe I did, but—"

"Anna Smith!"

"Stop! Listen to me! I was hungry, okay?! I didn't eat anything!"

"Ugh, what have you been doing during your flight, honey?" she asked, arms going up in the air in exasperation.

"Um... I was doing my makeup, honey."

"Don't mock me, Anna Smith."

"Ooh, Meg is mad because I'm mocking her— Ow!" She smacked my head. And Rapunzel was finding this so hilarious that she had to laugh, arms around her stomach, tears seeping out of the corner of her eyes, almost ruining her makeup. We turned around, but I was actually rubbing my forehead as we stared at the amused girl.

"O-Oh my god! I-I can't breathe! H-Help!" she laughed, crying even. I rolled my eyes and turned to Meg.

"See, whenever we argue, she's always like this," I told her, shaking my head, pointing at the brunette that was behind us laughing hysterically. Punzie was still laughing after ten million years later! That amazed me. I was so fucking tempted to smack her in the head, but because she was the bride today, it was an exception.

Meg smirked and shook her head. "It's so nice to see you again Anna," she said, coming up to me, giving me a tight hug. Now this was nice. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her, relaxed and all.

"It's nice to see you both too..." I muttered.

Really, it was just extremely nice. And I missed them way too much.

"So," Punzie started after laughing for so long and decided that it was time to stop. "How's life?"

I let go of Meg and had a huge grin on my face, not sure if I was glad that my life had taken a turn or if I was just glad to see them.

I looked up at the ceiling briefly, setting my back against the wall and crossed my arms. "Life's... great, actually." I shrugged. But life was great.

"Hm..." Meg started. "I know that look. Have you met someone?"

And I blushed at the mention of this "someone." I had to debate whether I should tell them about Elsa, this woman that was beyond gorgeous, wealthy, strong, way too intimidating, was a CEO of a huge and a bit secretive company and... controlling. Dominant.

My girlfriend.

Meg gazed at me as if she knew what I was up to through these four years in LA.

I scoffed and lied, "No, I haven't."

There is no need to lie, Anna Smith!

I wanted to shut my brain off as it was being way too noisy with unwanted thoughts right now.

"Really?" Meg questioned, eyebrow raised, arms crossed and still not believing me. "No, you're lying. You're always lying." She pointed at me. How rude.

But that was true. I'd always lie to them to prank them most of the time. It was completely my fault that whenever I was being completely honest, they'd think whatever I'd say would be a lie. I was the girl who cried wolf.

"I-I'm not lying..." I muttered as I could see Meg coming up to me, cornering me.

"Spill it, honey."

Back off!

I gulped, nervous and completely cornered by the tall, somehow intimidating woman. My eyes wandered around. "H-He's a cool guy, actually." A he! Wonderful. When did I become such a bad liar?

"A he?" She raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms.

"Y-Yeah, a he! A guy! He's cool and really handsome."

And finally! Meg was actually taking a step back. My eyes were wandering to Rapunzel now, begging her for help. But ugh, this girl wanted to know about this "he" as well.

"And?"

I stared at Meg now, who was waiting patiently. She was tapping her finger on her arm now, going with the ticking clock. I wondered if she was just pretending to be patient, or if she wasn't. Why are you forcing me to do this?

"And he's plays instruments. Guitar and piano! He's a blond, is extremely wealthy, and yeah, I don't know." I shrugged. I should be caring more about the reason of lying to them, actually. And in a situation like this, I could never go back and fix what I'd done and ruined for myself.

"What's his name?"

Oh god.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "W-Why would you need his name? It's not like you're gonna see him any time soon."

"Maybe it's a girl, Meg," Rapunzel started and I glared at her, cursing her in heart and mind as she gave me a shrug, like she couldn't help it but to announce just that. God! I wanted kill that girl. God damn it, Punzie...

"Ah," Meg replied. "Alright, what's her name then?" I turned to her and gazed anxiously.

And they were just extremely nosy which was just so unnecessary. I bit my lip and was constantly chewing on it until I expected it to bleed, thinking and pondering around the question. I could literally hear birds chirping from the outside now as we continued to be quiet. By now, lying to them wouldn't work, I knew but it was something to be glad about. But we were still for a while, a very short while until I sighed, submitting myself to them and their questions that I had to force myself to answer. Ugh!

"Fine!" I shouted, arms flailing up the air in the act of surrendering to their forceful and quite a scary thoughts. "Her name's Elsa Snow, alright?!"

It was strange that it was beginning to quiet down now as if they needed to process that thought of me dating a girl into their blank minds.

Punzie blinked and frowned. "W-Wait, Elsa Snow?"

I stared at her, a bit confused now. "Y-Yeah? What about her?" I took a step back even though I didn't need to since she was sitting down.

She seemed shock, speechless, maybe even scared of the name. "A-Anna, does she play violin?"

Alright, what the fuck is this girl sniffing up now?

My eyes wandered from Rapunzel to Meg and back multiple times. I had no idea why she looked so shock right now. I should be the one that was shocked! She was getting married in a few minutes. Guest should be coming in already as I could hear yelling and shouting everywhere. Or maybe it was just my imagination to block out whatever Rapunzel was trying to do.

I was staring at Meg now and she only shrugged, also having no idea what she was talking about.

"Anna, answer me!" Rapunzel shouted. I blinked, shocked now. She'd never shout at me this loudly.

"Y-Yeah... she does..."

Why are you shouting?!

And suddenly she got up from her seat, grabbed a handful of her dress and walked towards me. "Anna, she's—"

But before she could even say anything, there were knocks on the door before Ma entered. And we were silent as we turned to see her. Whoa. Ma looked way too beautiful.

"Rapunzel, honey," Ma smiled. "It's time." She looked at me now. "Anna, Meg, you girls gotta be out there." Oh, right. Wedding time. But Punzie was still looking at me with quite a worried expression that I didn't seem to care about, perhaps even notice. How strange. It was as if she actually cared more about Elsa and me than her wedding.

"Rapunzel, come on. Your father and groom are waiting for you," Ma urged. Ten quiet seconds just passed. Rapunzel sighed and turned her attention away from me.

"Yeah," Rapunzel said, quickly forming a smile as she walked passed us to Ma. "Thanks Auntie." And then gave her a kiss on the cheek. She turned around towards us and with that huge smile of hers, wow, it'd melt us.

"I'm getting married, guys," she said. And we were both very proud of her.

Yes, she was getting married.

We were happy for her—more than just happy.

"Go get your man!" I shouted, giving a pat on the back for her and she chuckled very cheerfully. A hand from Meg came to my shoulder as we watched the girl leave with my mother, arm in arm. We watched her get out to the quiet church.

"You think she'll last with Flynn?"

"Oh, come on, don't say that! You'll jinx it," I told her, swatting Meg's hand away from me. She was being playful. But sometimes being playful could always be mistaken as something that could be thought as serious.

She'd last.


Meg and I sat down at the last row, near the entrance of the church. And now, my beautiful cousin was walking down the aisle with a grin, arm in arm with her father. I was proud and excited as she continued to walk down the aisle, each step making her closer to becoming a bride—a wife and possible... a mother. In the future.

It was peaceful as we listened to the priest talk, watching the couple holding hands together, face to face with love and affection, especially happiness.

"Do you think Hercules and I will be like that someday?" Meg whispered to me, arm nudging me. I leaned closer to her.

I'd like to imagine Elsa and me like that someday.

It was something to think about, so I didn't answer her right away. But I shrugged as we continued to watch the bride and groom having their own personal, lovey dovey moment.

"I'm... not very that familiar with your man, Meg," I told her instead.

She chuckled for a second. "Well, I'm basically a stranger to your girl."

I rolled my eyes. "Speaking of your boyfriend, where is he?"

She shrugged. "Nowhere in sight, that's where," had she laughed. "No really, he's not too... let's say, fond about huge wedding ceremonies."

Giggling as I shook my head, everyone got up and clapped as the groom picked my cousin up from the ground as if she was like a piece of feather and kissed her. And the way Rapunzel laughed as he did it was just so full of energy.

Meg and I were shouting loudly now, all happy and was way too excited as Flynn carried her, walking down the aisle and to the entrance. A car was waiting for them outside filled with pink and white balloons, trailing on the ground and behind it with the sign "we just got married!"

I felt like I was going to cringe at the moment I saw the white car.

"Anna! Meg!" Rapunzel shouted as we ran after them and down the stairs.

"Yeah?!" we both shouted back.

"I'm married!" she shouted again, showing off her ring. And she looked extremely delighted and loved as Flynn ran down the stairs and threw her gently on the backseat of the car. And he kissed her just one last time before Rapunzel got to throw her bouquet of flowers to the crowd behind them, us being the first of the crowd.

"Catch!" And she threw. Everyone was screaming, jumping in the air as they tried to catch the bouquet.

And surprisingly, I caught it. I didn't even realize. I was just standing in the middle of the road, eyes blank and the feeling of my skin numb.

I blinked. The hell just happened?

I looked down to my hands. Huh?

Flowers.

"Punzie—" I looked up to see the white car zooming down the road further and further away from the crowd until it was going unnoticed. Now I was just astonished at the object that fell to my hands. I clenched on it and bit my lips.

The huge crowd behind me started clapping, even congratulating me... for catching a god damn bouquet of white and pink flowers. How amazing.

I felt an arm approaching my shoulders.

"So, you're up next, huh?" Meg said. "Good luck with your girl." She patted my back.

I didn't say anything, so instead I just stared at the flowers that were placed perfectly in my palms blank and completely out of the world.

"Anna!" I heard Pa and Ma calling me from behind as they pushed away the crowd and I turned.

They crashed into me, hugging me tightly. I was left startled.

"Darling, did you know how much we missed you?" Pa muttered, head nuzzling against me.

I could only smile at the way he was acting—like a child.

"Ugh, that's gross, Pa. Get off me," I urged, pushing him away.

"Listen, how's Elsa?" Ma asked, pushing Pa away from me. Oh, how I missed my beautiful girl already. But wow, how intriguing. My parents cared more about my girlfriend than their own daughter. Wonderful.

But now, I wondered if she was still in office or if she was still resting for the day? Hm.

I should call her later...

"She's great!" I said with much enthusiasm and with no care about the flowers. It wasn't something that I'd believe in anyway.

Really, Elsa was just fantastic.

Somehow, Ma looked at me with such soft eyes that it could be mistaken as bitter ones... or guilty ones. What was wrong, I wondered. She never looked this soft—well, only from time to time, but never this soft, never this... unusual. But I didn't bother telling her since I knew that she knew.

"I'll be with the others," Meg whispered to me with a pat on my shoulder and then went to hug my parents before disappearing to god knows where. I smiled as I watched her go.

"So... welcome back, I guess?" I said with a nervous chuckle and this time, Ma looked at me with a very irritated expression now. I was stunned by how fast her expression was changing.

"Young lady, what were you doing, going to Rapunzel first instead of looking for us?! We were worried sick!" she shouted, smacking my head.

"Ow! Stop hitting me!" I shouted, swatting her hand away as Pa chuckled, pulling his wife back away from me.

"Alright, alright, girls! Stop!" Pa shouted, still laughing his head off.

But really, I was just looking way too forward to seeing my cousin than to even bother looking for my parents. Ugh, when did I become such a bad kid anyway?

I rubbed my head with a pout. "Sorry..." I muttered to them, quite unapologetic and pretty much wanting to rebel for once in my life. "At least, I'm here right now!" I expected her to hit me again.

"You—" And as a precaution, I covered my head and took further step back.

"I said sorry, didn't I?!"

And Ma had given up with a huff. "Fine, but we'll be having dinner in an hour so, we better get going. Well, I'm glad you're here safe and sound." She sighed. I felt lucky and quite proud that I had such easy going parents.

"Yeah, yeah, I know." I rolled my eyes as I walked with them to their car.

"No, really and seriously, but how's Elsa?" Ma asked again, looping her arm around mine.

God...

If she wasn't my mother, I'd actually smack her for being too noisy and nosy, to be honest.


It was dinner time when I decided that I should be checking up on Elsa because I just missed her way too much. Everyone was having fun right now, especially with the married couple, who were playing games now as everyone were up from their seats, cheering and rooting for either the groom or the bride.

Meg noticed me getting up from my seat, phone in my hand. I tapped on my screen, excited to talk to Elsa.

"Hey, where you going?" she asked. She grabbed my arm.

"Bathroom," I replied, not even going to bother picking my head up to look at her. I scrolled through my contact list until I came across Elsa and by the time I placed my phone against my ear, I was already in the bathroom.

I leaned against the marble wall, crossing my arms.

And she answered a few seconds later.

"Elsa Snow."

Oh, I missed that beautiful voice of hers, all quiet and sexy at the same time. I could swoon just by her voice now. But I kept myself composed and excellent.

I smiled; glad to hear from her after many hours.

"Elsa!" I said and she chuckled, knowing that I was excited to talk to her. Indeed I was.

"Did you have a nice flight, Miss Smith?"

I rolled my eyes when I knew she was having that smugly little smirk of hers. I was itching to wipe that off of her with a kiss. If only I wasn't in New York, I'd gladly wipe it off.

"I had a great flight because of you, Miss Snow, thank you very much. It is much appreciated," I answered. She was exhausting. In the best way.

She laughed. "I'm glad you liked it. I was afraid you'd be upset with what I can actually manage to do." Oh, I'd never, Miss Snow. The peacefulness between us right now was very likable and... You know, just peaceful. I wondered what she had in that perplexing mind of hers now. It was hard to get into her. Or out.

"What are you doing right now?" she asked. I had a very obvious answer.

"Talking to you, Miss Snow." I smirked.

She laughed. It sounded so carefree to hear the sounds she was making right now, because I knew she was relaxed and quite happy with talking to me. I had a biggest grin right now as I scratched the back of my neck.

"Besides that, what are you doing?" I liked that light tone very much and I'd wish it'd continue for the rest of her life and the rest of her life being with me.

"I'm having dinner right now."

"Dinner?"

Wait for it.

"I wouldn't mind if you were my dinner right now."

I knew it.

I flushed red and hot all over my body and soul fast. I hoped nobody would come into the bathroom to see me with such an embarrassed reaction and expression. My eyes widened and my mouth gaped into a large hole because of her absurdity and how easily she was making that lewd statement sound like. And I was speechless, but breathless as I imagined how she'd look right now. She knew I was as flustered as ever as she remained quiet.

I fiddled with my braid for a second.

"Y-You—" I cleared my throat. I had my eyes on the ground. "Stop doing that all the time..." I was quiet as I said that.

"What are you implying? Doing you?"

Fuck! That was unnecessary and unexpected.

I should be expecting that!

Flushing and speechless, I was. And I kept myself that way for a while.

I ran my fingers through my hair so I could keep myself cool and maybe not so shy and embarrassed. She was sure laughing a bit too much today. She sure loved teasing me whether it was to joke or to... well, sex. She was unbelievable and was a completely frustration.

"How was your flight?" she asked me.

I was glad she changed the topic. "I-I..." I took a deep breath. "You didn't even tell me?!"

"I made last minute adjustments for you."

"I had a whole room for myself!"

"I'm glad you like it." A smile must've made across her face widely and proudly now.

"When did you even do that?!"

"Ever since we separated, Anna. You're surprised."

"Am I?" I asked sarcastically. She remained quiet as we listened to each other's breathing, soft and slow. I scratched my head with a sigh.

"I'll do anything to keep you comfortable and safe, Anna." I knew. She was that type of girl to do something like that. Not just a girl. A person, actually.

She was a beautiful, yet an extremely complicated person and I fell in love with such complication named Elsa Snow. I accepted. How did I even earn affection and love from someone like her, making her mine, making me hers? Love is a strange, strange thing.

I gulped. My smile disappeared, but I was happy and relaxed.

"Are you... eating right now?"

"No."

"What are you doing?"

I heard her chair rolling somewhere on the other end and then stopped. I frowned.

"Work."

"At home?"

She sighed.

"I'd be going to my office right now if you didn't call me."

I blinked and glared at the marbled floor. "You shouldn't be pushing yourself, Elsa." Because I'd only get worried sick about you.

"You should not be worrying about whether I am pushing myself or not, Miss Smith. I get things done and I want them to be done as soon as possible."

"You promised you'd be taking it easy." Oh, I was angry now. But I worried about her even more. I imagined a soft, yet bitter smile on her. And that was comforting.

"I am doing what I promised you. Don't worry."

I sighed. If only I knew what she really was doing at home, that'd be splendid and perfection. She was keeping me anxious and a bit upset now, but it was alright, I guess. I wouldn't even know if she was telling me the truth or a lie. I chewed on my bottom lip and breathed out lightly as a sign of surrendering to her.

"Alright then..." I said quietly.

"I'm sorry if I'm worrying you. Maybe I should stop doing work, if that's the case."

"N-No, no!" I said. "It's... fine. I'm just—I just care about you, Elsa. I'm worried."

"I know."

"What if you get nightmares again?" This topic was something that was necessary to discuss. It was necessary because right now, I could only hear her soft breath.

"I will be fine." Clearly not in that quiet tone. She was scaring me.

"Will... you?" I was unsure, uncertain and very... hurt. Hurt to hear her say that she'd be fine in such a fragile state and when she was trying to hide it behind a mask of a person much like a CEO with confidence and brain. I cleared my throat, but she was still quiet and I knew.

I knew what she was going to say.

"I will."

She wouldn't. I was sure of it.

Oh, how I wished I could just go back to LA and be beside her like always.

"I miss you."

I smiled bitterly. Hopefully she could see that. "I miss you too, Elsa."

"But I have to go now. I'm... busy."

I rolled my eyes and accepted. "Please Elsa, just... rest when you're done with work, alright?"

"I promise, I will. I love you."

And I hanged up with a huff, dropping my arms to my side.

The bathroom door opened. It was Ma.

She looked at me up and down, weirdly first before asking anything. "Were you... just talking to Elsa?"

I had my head against the marbled wall as I eyed her to the sink, turning on the faucet. She washed her hands.

"I was."

She nodded. "Right, and you sound quite tired just now. Something upsetting you?"

"No." Because you shouldn't be caring about what was upsetting me and what was not.

She looked at me and shrugged. "Oh well, you'll be spending the night in Rapunzel's home tonight."

I blinked. "What?"

She rolled her eyes. "Come on, you youngsters will be partying all night today! And plus, your Pa and I will be doing something else tonight as well. Good luck!" She patted my shoulder and left me alone in an empty bathroom, while listening to the crowd outside screaming and yelling out god knows what for the newly wedded couple to do.

Right, partying.

I groaned, arm against my eyes as I leaned against the wall, constantly gulping air in. It'd be nice to keep myself away from thinking about Elsa for now. And the best way to do it was—

"Ugh, I need a drink..."


12AM and everyone was actually still partying, drinking and dancing to the beat of the deafening loud music. So was I.

And when Ma said all night, I didn't think she meant ALL night. But, I wanted and especially, needed the full night.

At least it was something that I craved most. To drink and to get out of the world.

Things were just crazy as music blared through the club, people shouting across and over everyone else, bumping into each other, pushing and pulling, making out probably, fighting in drunk mode probably and I was drinking. And as a result I was drunk; completely overwhelmed and taken by the amount of liquor I had for the night. But I continued to drink until everything seemed like it was turned upside down and inside out and until my mind became a boggled mess.

I was dancing again with Rapunzel and Meg now, having nothing in my mind but this crazy moment. I would've thought that I'd be insane by now. But I felt like myself again, the crazy old girl that loved to have fun and do stuff before Elsa came into my life. It was life.

Before I knew it, I was plopped down in bed at home with Rapunzel's help after god knows how many hours we'd been staying up all night, drinking and dancing without a care in the world. It somehow amazed me how Meg managed on getting back home when she was just as drunk as I was.

I groaned exhaustingly as I felt a sudden urge to barf coming up.

How many hours have I been indulging myself in total craziness?

Rapunzel chuckled. "Damn, you partied hard today." She sounded surprised. I just hoped that she was pretending to be surprised.

I moaned. "Oh, shut up. It's not like you haven't partied that hard since... I don't know, ever."

"At least I haven't been drinking as much as you and Meg, banana."

"Stop calling me banana! Do I look like one to you—" I barked and was interrupted as I covered my mouth, feeling and hearing my stomach gurgle. It stopped and I was relieved, hot and flushed red from the alcohols.

I plopped back down on bed, hearing Rapunzel laugh at me. My heels were off now. I assumed she took it off for me.

This silence was great and I'd love it if we keep it that way.

"So... about this Elsa girl, is she pretty?"

Now this was a nice topic.

"Beyond gorgeous, actually," I sighed tiredly, but happily.

She nodded. I stared at her, my vision weak against the dark and from the drinks. It was weird to see an expression so serious from Punzie.

"How did you guys meet?" She lied down next to me, combing my hair softly with her fingers.

"Had an unintentional interview with her and you know, she asked me out on a date and BAM, suddenly she's my girlfriend. The end." Not... really the end though...

Her chest rumbled as Punzie chuckled.

"Wow, it's amazing how someone this gorgeous actually got you as her girlfriend."

Is she saying that I'm not even pretty? Ugh.

"What does that even mean...?" I asked; clearly knowing what her intention was in that statement.

"Nothing!" she replied. I rolled my eyes, and then shut it fast. God, the pain that was going through my stomach and head was just awful.

"Hey, I was wondering about this for a while, but where's your Little Redhead?"

I opened my eyes, blinked. "Little Redhead? Who?"

She groaned. "Ugh, really? For 16 years of my life, I've been calling that kid Little Redhead. Seriously, where is he?"

Little Redhead... oh. Him.

"What do you mean where is he? He's in New York, right? Besides, that Little Redhead you just called as a "kid" is older than us."

Punzie was quiet. Now I was confused. "Wait, are you telling me, you still don't know that he's in LA, right now?" she asked. My heart stopped for a second.

"W-What...?"

"He's in LA, you dumbie!"

Oh, hell no. Why didn't anyone tell me?!

I groaned with an exhausted mind and body. "Why didn't anyone tell me he's in LA...?"

"Your parents told you."

Did they?

And I remembered. Ah, for fuck sakes Pa. They knew all along that he'd be in LA and even bothered to tell me it was a surprise?! Ugh. He could be starving out there or something!

"What the hell...?"

"Aw, you worried about your Little Redhead now? Watch out, your girl's gonna get jealous." She laughed loudly for a while before I decided to smack her stomach with my palm, grumbling random stuff to myself. "Don't worry, he's 23. He can find his own food, place, and ways to get around. And in case you haven't noticed, he has an architectural company of his own."

"Handed down by his father, that is..." I replied. It was a really small and an unnoticeable company actually. Not like Elsa's. It was nothing fancy or big.

"Well, doesn't matter. He's got enough money to get around."

I rolled my eyes.

"You could've told me earlier... and now I'm in New York and I have no idea what he's doing right now."

"I thought your parents would tell you, banana."

"My parents can suck my ass. They think it's funny to keep stuff from me but in reality, it really just sucks." I sighed. I raised and laid my arm above my head in hopes that I'd be in a more comfortable position. "I don't even have his number. Do you?"

She shrugged. "How the hell would I know his number? Listen, you haven't seen him in four years! I've seen him. He's really handsome, you should know that."

"I know..." I grumbled. "But I'm already here..."

"Wanna go back?"

"After three days, I will." I groaned. "I just can't believe you guys would keep this from me. Ugh, I was hoping that I would see him in the ceremony too."

"Well, Little Redhead's on the other side of the continent now, banana."

"I swear to god, will you stop calling him that?! He has a name, you know?"

"Ooh, protecting your Little Red—"

"I will smack you."

She laughed. "Alright, alright, but Little Redhead is kind of a cute—"

"Hans!"

"Alright, geez! Hans! I was just going to say, Little Redhead is kind of a cute name for a man like him."

I groaned, partly because she was being really annoying and because I was just tired as heck. "Whatever, I'm gonna go to sleep. Ugh, I feel awful, Punzie..." I moaned. She got out of bed with a grunt and patted my head.

"Alright, well sleep tight, my dear cousin. Think about Hans~" Ugh! I really wanted to hate this girl so badly if she wasn't there for me for my whole life, making my entire being as interesting as it could get. She got lucky.

"No! You need to get outta my face right now!" I kicked her right in the ass and she yelped playfully. My head throbbed and screamed consistently and so was my voice.

"Whatever, think about your girl then~ Sweet dreams~"

Damn this girl.

I waved at her instead when I didn't have the energy to even yell at her or even speak, plopping down back in bed, exhausted in mind and physically. I was just too tired to move and talk anyway. Well, I need my beauty sleep anyway.

I wished she was here right now in my arms. I missed the way she kissed me and the way she let herself hug my body tightly and protectively.

But, it couldn't be helped.

I slept, empty handed.

Goodnight, Elsa... Sweet dreams.
