Wah!
Miss this?
I did too, to be honest. I wanted to place both POV's like usual, but then it would have been too long as you can see with this one. So Anna's POV will be next week! Or tomorrow if I get it done in time!
Enjoy!
Elsa watched as Anna downed her third energy drink for the morning. She herself was enjoying some tea, yea, she was tired after all they did the night before, but the poor younger girl looked ready to pass out. Maybe she went a little over bored.
One look to Maleficent and Mal prepping for the competition made her steel her resolve. Anna and Mal haven't spoken since the incident in the hall and Elsa had to resist the urge to smirk. Anything to keep that little witch away from Anna.
"Anna, you awake now?" She asked as she stroked the girls back gently. Their station was already prepped thankfully.
"Yea, think I'm good," Anna smiled to her, but the yawn that escaped her said otherwise.
"I'm sorry sweetie, after this you can sleep all you want okay?" Elsa said and Anna just smiled to her as she nodded. The blonde really wanted to kiss her. She looked so cute being sleepy like that.
Elsa is startled out her thoughts as the booming voice of the announcer makes the crowed that was forming hush. She cleared her throat and made sure her apron was tightened around her waist.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The moment you all were eagerly waiting for! This is the annual show off between the two top chocolatiers, now with a twist. Each one has with them a prodigy. Once the contest theme is revealed the timer would start and they will begin their sculpting. Judges!" The voice roared and Elsa looked to the panel of judges in front of them. A man with a big bright smile was holding a mike. He was rather tall; Elsa would say he was around 6ft.
Why was she getting so distracted? Right she was nervous.
Elsa held her breath and she could feel her fingertips itching for the theme reveal. She hopes she was awake enough to not waste time in comping up with a design. Anna's energy drinks might just have kicked in because Elsa can feel the girl practically vibrating next to her. She's going to crash hard.
The judges handed the announcer an envelope and he opened it to read. A massive smile broke over his face and he looked positively excited. That told Elsa that it should be something relatively easy, considering the last time the announcer looked puzzled and that was a hard one.
"Today they will be making," the man waved to the big screen that allowed the convention goers know what was being made, "hero vs villain!" He shouted and Elsa felt her heart drop. She knew almost nothing of comics and such. She hasn't even got around to watching any of those blasted movies that's been taking over the silver screens!
Anna gasped beside her and the look of pure ecstatic happiness was plastered on her face. Maybe there was hope for this one yet! The girl was always wearing some hero belt buckle and today it happened to be Superman.
"Elsa! Can I do the design for this one?" The redhead asked as she bounced in her feet. The blonde couldn't help but giggle and nod. They had about thirty minutes to come up with a design before starting. The timer was already up and they only had about 12 hours to complete this.
"Go for it," Elsa smiled. How else was Elsa supposed to have the girl learn this if she kept doing it for her? She already knew the girl was capable of making the sculptures; it was time to see her designing them under pressure.
She castes a glance to the other two and saw them lightly argue over the given paper. Elsa assumes that if it weren't for all the people watching the argument would be a fight. That's why you never work with family.
"Okay so I was thinking, we do Superman, he's one of the most iconic hero's there is, but I don't want him fighting someone like Lex Luther, that's too common. We need something to catch the judge's eyes. What if we have him battling Killer Frost! It fits well with your theme Elsa and the ice blast would be easy to make and have it cool and harden while we work on the smaller things!" Anna said excitedly as she drew out very rough sketches. Okay, so the redhead wasn't much of a pencil person. No worry, not everyone is that type of artist.
"Okay I know I have a very limited understanding of hero's and such, but how do you suppose we support Superman if he's in the air?" Elsa asked as she pointed at the sketch. Anna tapped the pencil to her puckered lips as she narrowed her eyes.
"I got it! His cape, we make it a little longer, make it fuse with the ice blast here and here, then we have Killer Frost gripping his ankle. We can use color right? So we take away some of the time consuming detail work with frost covering the hand gripping his foot and the cape in the ice blast," Anna chirped as she filled in the gaps.
Elsa smiled and nodded as she took a pen and filled in better details to certain parts where they had to give more attention. After making a few notes and suggestions for if things don't work, the two nodded and set forth working on their parts.
"It seems that team Ice Queen is already underway! Team dragon would need to start finishing off with their designs if they want to keep on pace," the announcer said.
Elsa smiled as she started on making the bodies of the two people; Anna was busy with the big ice blast that would be at the base and the cape that would help support the male figure. As they worked Elsa couldn't help but realize that both their methods were actually very helpful in such an event.
Elsa liked doing everything from a base, much like a person working with ice or wood, while Anna enjoyed building her things like one would a puzzle or machinery. Both methods would help give something like this more detail, Elsa's base method for establishing a rough look to work on. Anna's building method would help to add smaller details and make it easier to correct mistakes or change things if something doesn't work out.
By the time Anna was done with the big pieces, Elsa was about done with the female form. The redhead gave it a once over and nodded as it resembled what she had in mind, just with Elsa's added help in making it look more natural in its stance.
Elsa smiled happily as she watched Anna place the big pieces in the freezer to keep it cold. Mal was placing something in their freezer as well and the two smiled to one another as the met at the divide. The blonde grumbled and frowned as she tried finishing up the female.
Once done, Elsa took the figure to the fridge to keep it cold for when she goes to work on the male. As soon as she got to where the two were idly chatting as they gathered other supplies Elsa glared at them.
"This is a competition ladies, time is of the essence, there is only 9 hours left," Elsa nearly hissed at them. Both girls jumped and backed away from the other like puppies with their tails between their legs.
"Talk about Ice Queen," Mal said under her breath as she rolled her eyes. Elsa felt anger flood her veins and even Anna tensed up beside her. The blonde glared at the purple haired girl who looked like she thoroughly regretted saying that louder than was intended.
"Oh, seems we have some tension between the Ice Queen and The Dragons prodigy. This year might be more interesting than the first time the two senior chocolatiers faced off," the announcer said with a hint of excitement.
"You stay away from Anna got that you little witch?" Elsa growled. Anna gasped beside her and gripped her arm.
"Elsa that was uncalled for!" Anna said as she tried to pull the older woman away. Elsa yanked her arm free and glared at the redhead.
"Stop flirting with the enemy Anna and get back to work," Elsa growled and went back to make the male figure.
"I wasn't flirting with her," Anna said softly as she started on making the details for the outfits.
"Yea right, fluttering eyelashes and soft giggles and flushed faces, that's not flirting at all," Elsa hissed as she kept her hands steady by molding the chocolate.
"Elsa, why are you jealous? You know I love you and only you," Anna whispered as she frowned. She couldn't understand why the woman was acting like this all of a sudden.
"Spare me the sap, she's closer to your age anyway, you had your fun with me but I'm obviously not long term for you," Elsa growled softly. Even to her that sentence didn't make much sense. She was angry and hated that eventually Anna would tire of her and find someone closer to her age. She didn't want to lose Anna now that she finally had her.
"What? Not long term? You think I'd stoop so low as to what? Seduce you for fun and just leave you for the first young face to give me a second glance?" Anna asked, looking to the blonde with hurt in her eyes.
"Well I don't see you acting like you do around other girls, except her," Elsa said softly as she looked into Anna's eyes. The redhead could see tears forming. Be they from anger or sadness, even both, she didn't know.
"Elsa, I'm acting weird around her because," Anna trailed off as she lightly shook her head, "because she's my half-sister," she eventually said. Elsa blinked and took a step back.
Relieve was flooding her system. She wasn't going to lose Anna to Mal! Wait…
"What?" Elsa asked confused.
"Mal is my half-sister, we have the same father. It's the leverage I used against my dad to get him to drop the blackmail," Anna explains.
"But…the flirting?" Elsa asked as she tilted her head.
"Well she doesn't know so yea she's probably flirting, I just don't know how to deal with this. I've never had a sibling before and to find out you have one, it's confusing. There's no bond between us," Anna says as she looks down.
"Well…why not tell her this? Then you can work on being sisters? I'm an only child, but I grew up with Rapunzel so she feels like my sister and it's a really great feeling to have," Elsa smiles as she strokes the redhead's arms.
Anna smiles and hugs her tightly.
"Aw looks like there's some issues worked out in the Ice Queens court," the announcer says and both girls roll their eyes while smiling. Right there were eyes on them.
"I'm going to go tell her now!" Anna chirps and skips over to the freezers. Elsa just sighed and shook her head. Not like it could have waited…
What ya'll think so far?
The idea for the sculpture came as a random thought while working and I was like YES! and thus the writing mojo was back for this story...
Thanks to all that's still sticking by with this!
No story of mine will ever be abandoned! Inspiration just takes it's time and my ADD hates staying focused on one thing...
See ya'll next time!
