Tell Me How To Fix You

By: The Duchess of Arendelle

The next day came and Anna made sure she was up early and on her way to work. On time today. She had received a call from Olaf while wedged in between two burly construction workers on the subway. The smell of week old onions, stale coffee and aftershave was overwhelming. 'What the hell? It's only 7:30 in the morning, how do they already smell?' Anna was pulled out of her thoughts by her cell phone going off. Her cheeks were set aflame as the sounds of NSYNC's 'Bye, Bye, Bye' filled the small compartment. Everyone was looking at her and she smiled sheepishly as she answered the phone with an embarrassed "Anna Summers, how can I help you?" Her cousin Rapunzel had made that her ringtone before Anna had left as a homage to their younger days. She'd forgotten to change it till now. She really needed to change it.

Cheerful giggling was heard on the other end and she smiled, instantly know who it was. Olaf. "Hiiiiii Annnnaaaa!" the cheerful voice on the other end said. Much too cheerful for 7:37 in the morning. "Hello Olaf, how are you feeling this morning?"

"Much better! But they are still doing test, I dunno why through. So! I called Elsa yesterday. She said you tried to hug her?" More giggling and Anna's cheeks flared up again. Oh God. She told Olaf about that?

"Yeah I did. But I so didn't know she doesn't like to be touched! You'll tell her that right? Tell her how I had no idea?" Anna was in slight panic mode. Elsa brought that out in her. More than a few eyes were now staring at her. She glared at the nosey bystanders and tried to turn away. Olaf was on the other end laughing and she frowned.

"Hey! It's not funny Olaf. I think I really freaked her out. She ran into her room and didn't leave the remaining time I was there, plus she refused to speak to me after that." Anna was now chewing on the tip of her thumb. A nervous habit she was yet to grow out of.

"Relax Anna. That's just Elsa being Elsa. You wanna know a secret about her?" Olaf asked in a hushed whisper.

"Yes. Definitely." Um, duh, she wanted to know everything about the woman.

"Elsa only comes out of her room when I visit. When auntie Gerda or uncle Kai checks in on her she usually stays locked in her room." He whispered. "So you'll be going back today right?" he asked in his normal voice, laced with hope.

"Of course I will." Anna assured him. Olaf let out an elated yay. They stayed on the phone a few minutes longer. Anna's stop came and she informed Olaf it was time for her to go. He said okay and his goodbyes. Anna hung up and made her way to the large office building. As she walked her mind lingered on the "secret" Olaf had told her about Elsa.

'If she only came out of her room for Olaf's visits… why was she out, sitting on the window seat, by the front door when I walked in?'

***FROZEN***

Anna stepped off the elevator and marched into the office, confident and poised. For once. Aurora immediately spotted her and smiled. "Hey you're on time today!" she smiled and Anna gave a playful roll of her bright blue eyes. "Ha, ha, ha, Rora. Very funny." Anna tried to look irritated but instantly broke and smiled. She went over and hugged the girl. For one of the biggest news outlets on the East Coast, the place was pretty relaxed and informal. "Good morning Sleeping Beauty. Tough night?" Anna asked as she let the girl go. She had noticed the beautiful woman looked tired and a little worse for wear today. She could tell under the blonde woman's immaculate makeup were bags. Aurora's smile faltered slightly.

"Ladies and Gentlemen there's a comedian in the house." Aurora replied dryly. Anna giggled. "But seriously are you okay?" she asked. Aurora sighed and responded with a simple. "Vault meeting, later at Oakens." Anna shook her head in understanding. Just then a large office door located at the back of the office swung open. Aurora looked up and whispered to Anna. "That's Mr. Philips." There was something in her voice that Anna couldn't make out.

Anna looked at her boss in awe. Mr. Philips was gorgeous. Like the definition of gorgeous. He was tall and lean. His body looked amazing and the Armani suit he sported, that Anna was sure coast more than what she made in a year, was a perfect tailored fit. His dirty blonde hair was coiffed with a curl hanging in his face. This man could seriously be a male model. Or a Prince. He was heading their way and Anna straightened up. He looked kind and smiled as he stopped in front of her.

"Miss Summers I presume?" he stuck out his hand and Anna instantly seized it in a firm shake.

"Yep that's me. Anna Summers. And you must be Mr. Phillips. It's so nice to finally meet you. Thank you so much for this opportunity." Anna felt the beginnings of a rambling fit coming on and one quick look at Aurora confirmed it. She clamped her mouth shut and continued to smile at her boss. Phillips smiled back easily.

"It's nice to meet you as well. I apologize for not being able to meet you yesterday. There was an emergency I had to take care of. I trust that you've already made everyone's acquaintance?" He cast a quick glance over at Aurora who was now fidgeting slightly and looking anywhere but at him. He sighed inwardly.

"Yes I have. Everyone's so great here. I love it already." She smiled big, ignoring the slight awkwardness that was beginning to creep in.

"That's great. Well if you could follow me into my office we can talk a bit and I'll give you your first assignment." Phillips informed her. Anna's eyes lit up and she had to hold back a girlish squeal. Phillips looked over at Aurora once more. Noticing the tired look on her face he frowned slightly. Guiltily. He cleared his throat and Aurora looked up from her shoes to meet his gaze.

"Miss Rose, if you could please get me those papers I asked for and send Meg out to pick up those case files from the D.A's office that would be great." Aurora continued to stare at him. She nodded once without saying anything and made her way back to where she and Meg's desk were located on either side of Phillips office door. Meg hadn't arrived yet. Late as usual. She sighed and picked up her phone, dialing Meg's number to inform her of the task.

Anna looked back and forth between her new boss who was staring longingly at Aurora and her new friend who was concentrating on her computer's screen as she spoke to Meg. 'I think I have an idea about the subject of today's vault meeting.'

***FROZEN***

"So, Miss Summers, since you're new here I'm going to start you out covering smaller stories. You know local things. Bake sales, protest, town hall meetings; small things like that." Phillips informed her digging in his desk looking for a file. Anna's smile faltered a bit.

"B- But. Mr. Phillips, I became a journalist to cover the hard hitting stories, not bake sales and town hall meetings." Anna protested. Phillips halted his search and smiled at her.

"Anna, these are just starter stories. After you've proved yourself you'll be promoted to bigger stories, like the crime beat or government issues, and if I think you're ready you might even get to cover international stories overseas. Understand Anna, I am a strong believer in everyone paying their dues. Working their way to the top. When Frost Industries first bought Mirror, Mirror to save the paper from bankruptcy, I was just a mail room worker. Now I'm the Editor-in-Chief of this place. Prove yourself Anna and you'll be covering the big stuff in no time." Phillips finished his speech with a gentle smile. Anna nodded her head in understanding and smiled back.

"Okay, I'll do whatever it takes." She nodded her head determinately. "Great." Phillips said and found the file he was looking for, handing it to her. "Here's your assignment. Downtown on 23rd Street there's a union protest of construction workers. Interview them and get the story." Phillips sat back in his chair and smiled brightly. Anna sighed. 'Why construction workers? Why?' Then she straightened. 'I'm going to do my best no matter what.' With that thought she stood up, Mr. Phillips following her example."Alright, I'll do my best." They both smiled at each other and Phillips grabbed her hand in another firm handshake. "Good luck Anna." And with that she gave another smile and left the office.

***FROZEN***

"It was horrible. They were all loud and smelly and they wouldn't stop flirting. And the tank tops. So. Many. Tank tops." Anna paused and shivered at the memory. "But I stayed the course and I think I came out with a pretty decent story." Anna was relating her experience's to the girls as they sat in Oaken's on their lunch break. "But seriously, some of them wouldn't take no for an answer. As if I'd go for rude jerks like them." She rolled her eyes and took a sip of her pink lemonade.

"Men. They think 'no' means 'yes', and 'get lost' means 'take me I'm yours'. "Meg drawled from her end of the table. She was met with a chorus of 'you got that right' and 'don't I know it'.

"Better than my first assignment. I had to interview a bunch of huge stinkin' hockey players in their locker room. While they were showering. Trust me lass, you don't want to compare stories." Merida said taking a sip of her Long Island ice tea.

"I know that's right honey. For my first assignment, I went to a restaurant down in my home town in Louisiana and got food poisoning from the fish. And I had to eat frog legs." Tiana shivered in disgust. Anna laughed and she felt a little better. She looked over at Aurora. The blonde had been silent the entire time. Anna nudged her and smiled. "Vault?" she asked and Aurora shook her head. She cleared her throat to get all the girls attention.

"What's the matter darling?" Alice asked Aurora as she sat down her cup of tea.

"Vault meeting. It's about me… and Phillips. Well… we kinda. You know. Last night at the office." Aurora spoke nervously and shyly. There was a collection of gasp and shocked looks on everyone's faces. No one spoke for a moment. Then a wicked smirk started on Meg's face as she broke the silence.

"Well finally. I mean really the UST in that office is suffocating. It's about time you did something about it." Meg said smartly with a wink. This comment drew everyone else out of their quiet shocked state and they all started laughing and agreeing. Aurora blushed and frowned. She sighed heavily and looked at the girls.

"Come on you guys, be serious! Have you all forgotten that Phillips is married? I slept with a married man. Oh my goodness. I slept with a married man. I'm a secretary and I slept with my married boss in his office. I'm a pigeonhole!" Aurora said in a panicked squeal. She looked two shakes from crying.

"Oh, don't say that lass. I mean, did ye do it on his desk?" Merida asked with a half amused half sympatric look.

"Y- yes." Aurora choked out.

"Ohhhh. Well then ye are a pigeonhole." Merida replied obliviously. Aurora wailed and Merida looked around the table to see death glares being shot at her. "What? I was only joking. Jesus." Merida grumbled picking up her Long Island tea again.

Anna began rubbing soothing circles on her back. "It's okay sweetie. Don't listen to Merida." Anna glared. Merida stuck her tongue out.

"But it's not okay!" Aurora continued wailing. "All my life I've been dreaming of this man, ever since I was a miserable child. Dreaming of a man like him was the only thing that made living with my step mother bearable. He is literally the man of my dreams. Kind, smart, sensitive, strong, caring, handsome, everything I've ever dreamed of. And last night, when we were working late in his office, I couldn't take it anymore. I admitted to him my feeling, and I was surprised to find he felt the same. We got swept up in the passion of the moment and the next thing I know were making love to each other on his desk. And it was incredible." Aurora sniffed. "I know visions are seldom all they seem, but everything really would be perfect if Phillips wasn't married. I- I love him. It shames me to admit it. I'm head over heels in love with a married man. What should I do?" Aurora finished, a fresh wave of tears falling from her eyes. Their usual table was fairly isolated. Located in a dark, cozy corner of the restaurant and Aurora was thankful for that now as she sat with her friends, balling her eyes out. They all sat, looking around at each other, trying to think of what to say. Alice, ever the voice of reason and madness spoke.

"Does he love you?" Alice suddenly asked. All eyes turned to her and Aurora looked at her slowly.

"What?" Aurora asked confused.

"Does he love you?" Alice asked again.

"Yes, well, he told me he does. " Aurora sniffed.

"But, does he love you? Truly? Could you feel his love without him having to open his mouth and say it? Would you bet your life, or better yet the life of everyone at this table that he does indeed feel the same way about you that you feel about him?" Alice asked, staring intently at Aurora. Everyone seemed shocked at the question and waited with baited breath for the answer. Aurora, staring back at Alice mulled the question over then answered.

"Yes. I am one hundred percent sure Phillips feels the same about me as I do about him." She nodded looking surer of herself then any of them had ever seen her look. Alice grabbed Aurora's hands and gave her a Cheshire cat grin as she spoke.

"Then I think you have your answer on what you should do." Alice sometimes spoke in riddles that Aurora, or anyone else really, couldn't understand. But Aurora understood this perfectly and finally let herself smile. She lifted one hand in signal for the waiter.

"Check please."

***FROZEN***

Once again Anna waved goodbye to her friends as her work day ended. "See you guys tomorrow! And Tia, I can't wait for the baby shower next week!" Tiana smiled and gave her a hug. "You make sure to make it, I want all my friends there and you still haven't met Charlotte yet. Let me go ahead and apologize for her future behavior. She's… eccentric… at the best of times, but these pregnancy hormones have made her completely nuts." Tiana joked with a light smile. Anna laughed and gave her a final squeezed before breaking the hug and smiling. "You know I'll be there. I'm just using this as an excuse to finally taste your cooking anyways!" Anna giggled. Tiana made a playfully offended face. "You telling me you're using my unborn child as an excuse to eat up all my food?" she asked in fake indignation. Everyone around them was laughing and Anna put up her hands in a surrender sign. "Sorry girl, but I've heard nothing but good things about your food. I can't wait to eat you guys out of house and home, I don't feel bad in the slightest." Anna joked back with a wink. Tiana laughed and said "Whatever", before shooing the other woman off toward the elevator.

Before leaving, Anna went up to Aurora and gave her a big hug. "Everything will turn out great. Talk to him and tell him how you feel. I'm sure you'll get your happily ever after Rora." she whispered in Aurora's ear. Aurora gave a small smile and a slight nod. "Okay, I will. Thanks Anna." With that they broke apart and Anna was on her way home, first to change, then Elsa's.

***FROZEN***

The trip home was fairly uneventful and surprisingly pleasant. She'd actually gotten a seat on the subway for once. Aside from the quick chat she had with Kristoff about her plans for after she left Elsa's and making arrangements for Anna to go over Kristoff's for the first time for some COD relaxation time, she'd spent most of her trip in silence. As she made her way home she stopped by Wondering Oakens Grocery's again. Oaken wasn't at the café today and as she walked in she saw the hulking figure of said man. He instantly recognized her and smiled brightly.

"Hello Anna! What are you doing her sweetie?" he asked in his heavily accented voice. Swedish? Norwegian perhaps? Anna didn't know but she smiled back just as brightly in return. "Hi Oaken. I could ask you the same thing. Do you work in all your shops?" Anna asked curiously, stepping up to the man behind the counter and standing in front of him. He was sitting down she could tell and he was still thrice the height of her standing figure. Oaken laughed and answered.

"Oh no. My husband, he works here. But he has come down with a bit of a cold." His husband? Hmm… Oh! The nice handsome blonde guy.

"You mean the extremely gorgeous blonde man that was behind that very counter? That's your husband?" Anna asked impressed. Oaken smiled proudly.

"Ya, that's my snuckums." He answered. Anna gave him a high five.

"Nice job reeling that one in!" She joked.

"Well when you got the right bait…" Oaken joked back, trailing off with a wink. Anna laughed, loudly. She then excused herself to shop around, picking up a few essentials.

Oaken's was a small, cozy, cabin type store that seemed out of place in the huge larger than life city it was in. Anna loved it. She went around gathering the items from her grocery list. Chocolate, sandwich fixings, burritos, soda, toothpaste, hot coca mix, milk, Coco Puffs- What? They made their own chocolate milk. Everyone knew Anna was a chocolate junkie. She picked up some fruit and a few more things then brought her basket to Oaken for checkout. He cocked an eyebrow at Anna.

"You really like the chocolate ya?" He asked chuckling lowly. Anna smiled sheepishly.

"What can I say? I'm addicted." Oaken laughed and was finishing up with check out.

"So you live around here ya?" Oaken asked, scanning the last item. Anna took out her credit card and swiped as she answered.

"Yeah, like five minutes away, so you'll be seeing a whole lot of me." Anna giggled. Oaken bagged up her items and smiled.

"Well from now on you get the regulars discount." He winked. Before handing Anna her bags, he told her to wait while he got something from the back room. He soon returned with the mystery item behind his back.

"This is for you, hon." He pulled the item from behind his back. Anna stared slack jawed as he revealed the most expensive looking box of chocolate she had ever laid eyes on. "What is that?" she asked in awe.

"This is a box of authentic Norwegian chocolates. Flown in from one of the most exclusive chocolate makers in my country. They gave it to me as a gift, I already own a sauna/spy in Norway and it's by their shop. Business has really picked up for them as a result and this was a thank you. Jorgan or I don't touch the stuff and the kids don't need it. I suppose only a real chocolate addict can appreciate it ya?" He held it out to Anna and she took it with shaking hands.

"Yeah." She replied still in awe. She'd never had chocolate this fancy before and she couldn't wait to dig in. "Thank you so much Oaken, I really do appreciate it." She hugged the laughing man over the counter.

"Okay, okay. You're welcome. Here's your bags. Do you need help? I could get one of my boys to help you." He asked kindly. Anna had the box of chocolates and her bags already in her hands.

"Nope, I got this. Thanks for the offer though. I'd love to meet your kids soon. How many have you got?"

"Five. Three boys and two girls." Oaken responded with a wistful smile. "13, 11, 9, 6, and 3." He continued. Anna was yet again shocked.

"Whew, that's a lot of kids. Can't wait to meet them all." Anna smiled. Oaken smiled back, they waved and said their goodbyes.

Anna made it home, putting away her groceries. She then changed into a pair of blue skinny jeans and a green long sleeved shirt. Before leaving she made two of her famous sandwiches and packed them in a large lunch box with some chips, two orange sodas, and her new fancy chocolate. She headed out the door and ran into something solid. She looked up into the green eyes of a smiling Hans. She blushed and put some distance between their bodies.

"S-sorry! I'm sorry! I should have been looking where I was going. Are you okay? Did I hurt anything" Hans brought a hand up to silence Anna and smiled.

"Anna, I'm fine really." Hans assured her. Anna smiled.

"What are you doing out here?" she asked curiously. Hans was clearly just getting home from work. He still had on his suit and was carrying a briefcase. He smiled sheepishly.

"Well, I didn't get a chance to see you at work today. You were out on an assignment when I stopped by and looks like your new friends hold a monopoly on your time now. Plus I couldn't wait for Friday to come." He said nervously, scratching the back of his neck. "I just wanted to see you." He finished, looking Anna in the eye longingly. She swooned. 'This guy is way too cute.' She thought. Then she remember the cautions of her new friends. 'I seriously can't see what their talking about. Hans may be the sweetest guy on the planet.'

Anna's smile grew brighter as she replied. "Well here I am. I wish we could talk more but I really have to go. I'm already late." Hans's smile faltered the tiniest bit. "Oh really? I was hoping to spend a little time with you." He informed her sadly. Anna's heart broke a little. "Where are you going? If you don't mind me asking."

"Oh, well, just to the top floor. To spend some time with my friend Olaf's sister, Elsa." Anna responded. Hans was walking her to the elevator and he paused slightly. "Elsa? Elsa Frost? The shut in from the top floor?" He asked incredulously. Anna turned and looked at him confused.

"Uh, yeah. Do you know her?" she asked as she waited for the elevator to come.

"Not personally. No. But I've heard of her. Anna, she's the riches person in this city. Perhaps in the entire East Coast. No scratch that, America. She's the Frost, in Frost Industries. THE Fortune 500 company. Her parents left everything to her after they died a few years back. Their private jet crashed in the Pacific. It was all over the news. She has representatives running the company for her but she still owns it all. Even Mirror, Mirror. No one know why she chooses to live in this building of all places. I mean, she has a mansion just outside the city. I've seen it, it looks more like a castle really. But she does own the entire floor to herself." The elevator came and Anna stepped on, dazed by all the information. Hans held his hands over the frame to keep it from closing.

"Be careful Anna. I've heard… rumors about Elsa. Rumors about why she's a shut in and why her brother is… well… stunted." He finished. Anna shook her head. "Don't worry Hans. I don't think Elsa would ever hurt me." Hans looked skeptical but let go of the elevator entrance so the doors could shut. He smiled and waved as the doors began to shut. Anna smiled and waved back. The doors had closed before Anna could see the cruel smirk that grew on Hans's face. Oh, this was good. Very good. The wheels in his head were already turning.

Anna rode the elevator to the top floor. She was stunned. Elsa? A billionaire? And Olaf too? What? This was all too much to process. The elevator stopped and she looked at her watched. She winced at the time. 6:50 p.m. She rushed off the elevator and to Elsa's apartment. Now that she noticed, the beautiful snowflake door was the only door on the entire floor. Wait. Did she renovate this whole floor to be one big apartment? Now that Anna thought about it Elsa's apartment was gigantic. The corridor leading to Elsa's room was very long and it was not the only corridor in the apartment. She also had an eating are. A nice dining room with a beautiful white table. And the kitchen? Words could not describe how big and amazing that kitchen was. At first, Anna really didn't think about Elsa's apartment size and what that could mean. But she was now. 'Should I call her Your Highness or something? I've never been around a rich person before. Well technically I guess I have. Olaf is rich too right? And he's Elsa's brother. I've hung around him plenty of times.' She had gotten lost in her thoughts and was startled out of them by the sound of glass breaking. Anna quickly got the key from its hiding spot, unlocking the door and bursting through. Her eyes went wide at the sight that greeted her.

AN: CLIFF HANGER. Don't worry you won't be hanging for too long. I'm already working on the next chapter and it's gonna have a lot of Elsa Anna interaction. I know this one didn't have any Elsa in it so stay tuned for the next chapter. You won't be disappointed. What do you think Anna walked in on? Something bad or good? Review, favorite, or follow. Do all three if you want. Or do none. No pressure. See ya kittens. Peace :)

Oh and so some of you guys won't be confused.

Aurora's backstory here is not exactly like the backstory form the books or movie. It's kind of a mixture of her movie backstory, Snow White's, and Cinderella's. Etc.
