Girls Night

It was now 6:19 pm at Anna's house, the Friday before - her second to last week of highschool. Anna was currently pacing back and forth in the living room waiting for Elsa to arrive. Christina was watching her daughter pace from the couch while Frederick was eyeing his daughter suspicious as to why she is so obsessed with this girl.

"Come on where is she?" Anna asked herself in a worried tone.

"Anna I really think you need to focus more on studying than talking to this girl about comic books." Her mother told her.

"Indeed. Also I find it rather concerning that you invited a girl over." Her father added.

"She isnt Liz dad." Anna said annoyed.

Jeez one mistake and he holds it over my head for the rest of my life. Anna thought annoyed by her father's stubbornness.

All three of them turn to the door as the ring of a doorbell goes off. Filling their ears with a soothing hum. Anna perked up and ran to answer the door.

"She's here!" Anna squealed as she looked through the peephole and saw Elsa, standing outside in the dark, under the porch light with a few books in her hand.

Anna opened the door "Elsa, welcome to casa de la Summers." As Elsa walked through the door Anna couldn't help but notice that she was wearing a plain white t-shirt and a pair of blue shorts. Not that Anna minded, Elsa looked hotter than usual in them but was wondering why she was wearing such short clothes when it was 65 degrees outside.

"It was nice for you to invite me over." Elsa said turning to Anna. Then she looked at Mrs. Summers and shook her hand. Looking at her in the eyes and smiling.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Summers I'm Elsa."

"Oh Elsa nice to meet you too. Oh and you may call me Christina." Christina said smiling at the blonde. Then Elsa released her hand and turned to Anna's father.

"You must be Mr. Summers. Your name is Frederick right?" Elsa said remembering from when he was the mayor once. She waited for him to take her hand but instead he just stared at her with dead seriousness.

"Yes but you may call me councilman Summers. I couldn't help but notice your short attire. Not very appropriate for the temperature outside is it?" He said.

Elsa looked at herself and noticed what he meant. "Oh well the cold doesn't really bother me and all my jeans are in the wash so all I had was this." Elsa said pulling on the cloth of her shorts. They weren't short-shorts but she was fully aware of of how homophobic he was, and considering that of his closet-gay daughter just invited a girl over to his house Elsa could see how he's suspicious.

"Be that as it may. Just be warned that I can have you arrested at any time if you try anything..."

"DAD JESUS CHRIST!" Anna said cutting her father off and grabbing Elsa's shoulder.

Anna drags the white-haired beauty to her room as, Elsa looks back she see's Anna's mother slapping the former mayor on the back of his head.

Anna finally lets go of Elsa when they are in her room and she slams the door behind her. It was a nice place, Elsa couldn't help but notice some of the posters around her room of comic superheroes. Some villains too. A lot of them, Elsa noticed, had ice powers.

"I'm sorry about my dad. He can be so...ugh!" Anna moaned.

"Um Anna. Who is Liz?s" ELsa asked. Anna turned to her with her, eyes widened.

"I heard you mention her through the door. You said I wasn't her. What did that mean?" ELsa asked. Anna sighed and sat on her bed.

"Oh she was just a girl I had a crush on when I was 15. She's actually the reason my dad is up my ass all the time." Anna sighed not wanting to think about the events that happened that night.

"I notice you have a really big thing for comics." Elsa said observing the room. "Is that a Mr. Freeze poster?"

"Oh yes. I also have other posters for other characters. Killer Frost, Ice from the superhero duo Fire and Ice. I told you I love winter." Anna said.

Elsa blushed a bit.

"So. you like characters with ice powers?" Elsa asked nervously.

"Oh yeah. I have always liked the idea of being able to form ice out of thin air. You know when I was little I used to imagine having that power? I could build snowmen whenever I wanted. Plus it would give me an excuse to have hot coco all the time."

I probably could have invited Anna over to play when we were little. We could have been great playmates. If she didn't hang out with them I mean. You know what, Anna seems like a really nice person now. And if she isn't scared of what I can do then….wait, no lets just keep her in the friend zone for now and see what happens. Oh better apologize for what you said at the mall the other day.

"Um Anna. I want you to know that I think of you as more than an acquaintance." Elsa said.

Anna's eyes widened with excitement "Really!?"

Elsa was thinking "Wow! She really lights up when I say that doesn't she? She's so expressive with her emotions! I like that."

"Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't say you were my friend before. I was just..."

"No. No its ok. I understand, I knew it was going to take a while for you to forgive me." Anna said shrugging

"But I won't forgive YOU for saying the Thor comics suck!"

At that moment the brief feelings of attraction for the white haired girl was gone and she reminded herself of how little they are alike.

"Anna get a hold of yourself. You still don't have much in common with her. Except for great taste in sweets and holidays."

"Ahem! Anyways Elsa, why don't you tell me all the reasons why you don't like Thor?" Anna said sternly, reminding herself of why she brought the taller girl here in the first place.

"Ok Anna. The main problem is….all the characters are awful interpretations." Elsa said simply. Her cold gaze fixed on Anna, half closed and staring at the redhead with a stern solid face.

"Kind of sexy." Anna thought "Wait what? No! Get a hold of yourself Anna! Then again….are the comics that different from the actual story? I mean of course it is all fiction but I mean the actual main stories that the norse guys wrote."

"So. What's so different about the comics Thor than the norse myth Thor?" Anna asked actually interested.

"Well Anna. The main difference is that Thor. Wasn't blonde. He was a redhead."

Anna's face turned blank.

"WAIT WHAT!?" Anna screamed. Elsa couldn't contain the huge grin on her face, she had to admit she found the redheads expressive emotions appealing. "She's so spontaneous! She can make ME smile. And the only other person I normally smile around is Joan". But then she wiped the smile off her face, took a deep breath and composed herself. "Thor was a redhead!? But he was Norwegian right? Aren't all norwegians blonde?"

"Well you see Anna the Norse associated hair colors to personality types. Loki would have been blonde due to his intelligence but Thor was not nearly as virtuous as he is in the comics. Though he still protected humanity from monsters he was arrogant, bloodthirsty and would kill anyone for just being around when he got too angry. Perfect for a headhead. Oh no offense."

When Elsa finished her sentence Anna's heart broke. Not because of what Elsa said about redheads but what she said about Thor. Thor was always her favorite superhero growing up! And hearing how he wasn't such a great guy in "real life" was a real joykiller.

"No! What could the mighty Thor have done?"

"I'm glad you asked Anna." Elsa said coldly.

"Huh?" Anna asked. But then she realized she had just spoken her thought outloud.

"Neither Thor nor his father Odin were the great gods that they are portrayed as in your comics. One time Odin willingly ate some stew. Or was it mead? Anyways it was made from the body is the wisest mortal ever born. He WILLINGLY committed cannibalism hoping that he would absorb some of his knowledge." Elsa said shaking her head in pure disgust.

Anna thought "Odin? Great All-Father Odin? I can't believe that someone who would banish his son to earth to teach him humility would willingly eat someone for KNOWLEDGE!? Wait what am I thinking? From what Elsa had just told me the "'real' Odin would never do that to his son. From what Elsa had just said he would have actually encouraged Thor to be an arrogant brat he was before banishment."

"And Thor?" Anna asked. She really didn't want her favorite hero tarnished more, but she wanted to understand Elsa.

"Well. There was one myth where he murders a Troll just so he wouldn't have to marry him to his daughter." Elsa said.

"What? Couldn't he have just said no?" Anna asked shocked.

"Yes he could have. But instead he decided to keep him busy with stupid tasks until the sun came up and he turned to stone. Also another thing. In the norse myths the sun and the moon were actually two giants that Odin ordered to have chased across the sky by wolves simply because they were beautiful!" Elsa said exasperated.

Now Anna was full of disgust and rage. "How could Marvel lie to me like this!? I actually loved these guys! Now I find out they were a bunch of jerks? I bet now she's gonna tell me Loki was actually nice?"

"Ok Elsa. Since the 'real' Thor and Odin were villians was Loki a good guy?"

Elsa shook her head "No Loki was a dick in mythology too. Although some things I want to point out that are different is that Loki wasn't a frost giant. He was a fire giant. Or jotunn which is the proper word"

Fire instead of frost? Thats interesting.

"Also Laufey wasn't his father. That was the name of his mother."

"Genderbending the parents? That's weird for Marvel to do that?" Anna thought.

"Oh yes and he wasn't Thor's adoptive brother. He was Odin's blood brother." Elsa said emphasising the last part of the sentence.

"Blood brother?" Anna asked confused.

"You know when you swap blood and it makes a promise to treat that person like they are family." Elsa explained.

"Why would Odin do that? I mean I know you just said he was actually a jerk but why swap blood with the fire-giant god of mischief?" Anna asked confused.

"Who knows?" ELsa shrugged "I haven't found any texts that say why. Maybe they did it when they were children? Maybe Loki tricked him? Maybe he did something great for them. Loki actually had a tendency to be helpful when he wasn't screwing the other gods for amusement." Elsa finished.

"Hmm. Reminds me of Kevin." Anna said venomously.

"Why did you even agree to stay friends with him in the first place?" Elsa asked. She had actually been wondering for awhile now, if Anna had actually learned her lesson a long time ago why she stayed with them until they decided to leave her.

"Well you see Elsa. After you left and I told him and his sister how I felt. Awful just clearing up! They did not show any sympathy at all, they only said they were sorry you left because they couldn't hurt you anymore. It was finally then, after a whole year of blindly following them, blindly believing every ounce of crap that came out of their lips that they were terrible people."

Anna said ashamed of herself that it took that long and under those circumstances. She should have noticed a long time ago from the way they treated Elsa, how they treated everyone. But like a naive stupid little girl she believed every word because she was grateful to have friends, because they were nice to her and made her feel good sometimes, and because they told her they were just joking around and didn't mean it. It was then Anna realized they did.

"I tried to talk to them about it. I tried to make them better people. They promised me after a week of bugging them about it that they would stop bullying people. I believed it. For a while. But then I heard from a classmate that they were STILL bullying people, they just did it when I wasn't around and they didn't post things on the internet." Anna said sadly.

Elsa felt pity for the girl as well. She actually believed they were her friends once and they betrayed her. Twice.

"Oh Anna I'm sorry." Elsa said truly meaning it.

"It's ok. Except when I got tired of their lies I tried to leave them and they told me that if I wasn't with them, I was against them. And since I was so scared, or being bullied, because I saw what they did to you, I stayed their 'friend' for years. For years I spent trying to convince myself that I was happy with them when I wasn't. I just liked not being bullied by them, and as soon as my dad wasn't mayor anymore they left me. But you know what I was so ashamed of, despite everything I begged Marcy to take me back, just because I was scared of being bullied. I stayed with Kevin, no matter how horrible a boyfriend he was, just because of my dad. Hell, I'm glad they decided to leave me now. It was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. I just wish I had friends to fall back on." Anna said regretfully.

"What do you mean?" Elsa asked.

"Being "friends" with people that bully the less popular people puts you in a bad position with them. And getting rejected by the most popular makes you unwanted by everyone else. After Marcy disowned me I didn't really have anyone to talk too besides Kristoff. Sure being Kevin's "girlfriend" helped a bit but no one really payed attention to was like he was king and I was the queen that was just supposed to stay out of his way." Anna said tearry.

Hearing Anna say this made Elsa feel pity in her heart. She has been alone for all this time, rejected by everyone like she had been. Elsa couldn't help herself, now it was her turn. She took a deep breath and spoke, looking down with a sad expression on her face.

"My dad is dead."

"What?" Anna said in shock.

"When I was your age. My father when on a trip to our Norway by sea. He wanted to bring some college students on a trip of a lifetime. Show them some of the things they are studying up close. But there was a storm as soon as they got there and the ship sunk. A lot of parents lost their kids. I lost my father." Elsa said, tears going down her face. But quickly she tried to conceal her emotions. She wasn't sure if Anna noticed, but she just made frost appear around them

"Conceal! Conceal!" Elsa thinks to herself until she calms down enough to make the frost melt. She was fairly sure Anna hadn't noticed, thankfully.

"I think." Elsa thought to convince herself.

"Oh Elsa I'm really sorry. So you don't have a dad or a mom?" Anna said truly sorry for Elsa. She was completely alone now.

"Yeah. I never knew my mom. Dad said they met when he was young, she was tall, smart. A little cold, but so beautiful. He actually said I look alot like her." Elsa said.

"REALLY!?" Anna gasped. She would LOVE to meet this woman.

"Anyways. They were together for about a month or two, then she just vanished. Dad didn't know what happened to her. He had no idea for nine months until he went to his door step and found me there. With a note from mommy dearest." Elsa spat the last words with pure sarcasm. "He didn't keep the note but he basically said we had to get out of country. So we moved from Norway to America."

"Oh my gosh. Your mom left you. That's so awful. You know what really made me realize what I was doing to you was wrong is when Kevin and Marcy made fun of you for not having one. I couldn't imagine life without mine." Anna said.

"Yours seems really nice Anna." Elsa said with a small smile.

Anna smiled back "Thank you."

Then Elsa chuckled "You know it's funny. When I was little I used to pretend my mother was Skadi."

Anna narrowed her eyes confused. "Who?"

"Frost giant. Im sure she was at least mentioned in the comics." Elsa said.

"Well I don't know who she is so please tell me." Anna asked. This giant really peaked her interest if Elsa liked her enough to pretend that she was her mom.

"Well, in Norse mythology Skadi was the daughter of the giant Thiazi."

"Tai-zi?" Anna guessed.

"Thi-az-ee" Elsa said pronouncing his name.

"Thi-zee?"

Elsa shook her head "You know what let's just call him Mr.T makes things easier." Elsa decided. Then she continued.

"Ok so Mr. T found Loki and Thor while they were hunting in the woods. When Thor wasn't looking he kidnapped Loki and took him back to his home. Now Loki was a giant coward and he promised Mr.T anything if he just let him go."

"What did he promised him?" Anna asked.

"You see Anna, the Asgardians were not truly immortal. They needed to constantly eat special apples grown by the goddess Idunna to keep themselves from ageing otherwise they would just get older and older. Mr. T demanded that Loki help him kidnap Idunna and all her apples."

"And I'm guessing that since Loki is a selfish coward that's exactly what he did."

Elsa continued "Yep. And without Idunna the gods were getting weaker and weaker. Now of course the gods were angry at Loki for this so they had him go with Thor to get her back. They managed to do so but in the process Thiazi was killed."

"And then….Skadi came after them for revenge?" Anna said with excitement in her voice anticipating what would happen.

"That is correct Anna." Elsa said with a smile. That made Anna feel proud a bit. "But when Skadi had gotten to Asgard the gods did something that makes no sense to me. For them I mean. They offered her compensation for her father's death."

"Wait what?" Anna said confused "From what you have already told me that seems a bit out of character for the gods?"

Elsa shrugged "Who knows. Maybe they decided the daughter shouldn't have to suffer for the sins of the father. Maybe they wanted her on their side. Anyways Skadi promised not to take revenge under two conditions. Her first condition was that she was going to marry Baldr, Odin's other son and the handsomest of the gods. The second request was that they had to maker her laugh."

"So did she marry Baldr and they lived happily ever after?" Anna asked with awe, she loved fairy tales. But the look Elsa gave her made her frown fall.

"Unfortunately not, you see Anna they allowed her to choose her husband but she was only allowed to see their feet. She chose the smoothest pair thinking they were Bladr's but instead they belonged to the sea god Njord." Elsa finished.

"I should have known." Anna thought sadly to herself.

"I take it, it wasn't a happy marriage." Anna said dully.

"Didn't last two weeks. Now for the second part, making Skadi laugh. This was difficult because she hadn't laughed since her father died. Everyone who tried failed. Until Loki came to her."

"Loki?" Anna asked shocked.

"Yes, like I said he was actually helpful sometimes." Elsa explained.

"What did he do?"

Elsa blushed a bit, refrained from making eye contact with Anna and rubbed the back of her head nervously. "He, uh, tied his privates to a rope and the other end to a goat. Then he played tug-a-war like that."

At this Anna bursted out laughing. She grasped her stomach and rolled on her bed in a ball laughing so hard tears rolled down her face.

Elsa chuckled a bit. She started speaking again after Anna started calming down and wiping her tears "Yes. Skadi thought it was funny too. Anyways so after all that she became the goddess of winter, snow, mountains, skiing, hunting. All stuff I like. Except hunting. Not my thing."

"Well I can see how you would admire her. But I'm a little mad that Loki got off like that and Skadi didn't get Baldr. It seemed like that would make a great fairytale happy ending." Anna said sadly.

"Well their story isn't over. Oh and there is another inconsistency with the the comics that I need to bring up. If the comics followed actual mythology Loki would be a bit, um, tied up." Elsa said. Anna raised her eyebrow confused.

"Why would be he 'tied up'?"

"Well you see Anna. Loki eventually became really jealous of Baldr and wanted to kill him off. Problem was that Baldr's mother made him impervious to everything. Everything except mistletoe."

"Why not mistletoe?" Asked Anna.

"She didn't think it was that important. Anyways so his blind brother Hodur would shoot arrows at him for fun. You now since they didn't hurt him anyways. So Loki gave him an arrow tipped with mistletoe."

"Oh no!" Anna said with her eyes widened in shock.

"Oh yes. So during Baldr's funeral Loki got really drunk. And, not only did he admit to killing Baldr, but he made fun of all the gods and told Skadi his role in her father's death."

Despite the seriousness of Elsa's tone, Anna had a smug look on her face.

"Oh he was so dead wasn't he?" Anna asked eager for an answer.

"Loki fled, it took them a while but Thor found him in the form of a fish. So they brought him to midgard. Earth. Many miles under the earth and decided to punish him for his crimes."

Now Anna was completely interested "Did they kill him?" She asked.

"They decided his punishment should be worse. They transformed one of his sons into a wolf, and had that one kill the other before killing it himself."

Anna's eyes widened.

"Wait! My dream from a long time ago. Elsa said that Thor was a redhead and Loki was a blonde right? Oh my god the guy that he was speaking too had one eye, just like Odin. Except that Elsa said that Odin just killed one son as a wolf, I saw him kill two wolves! But still. The similarity."

"After his sons were dead their guts turned into chains and they bound Loki to a giant rock with them."

"Guts turning to chains? Bounding him to a stone. This is EXACTLY what happened in my dream! But I never heard this story before? How did I dream of something I never heard before? Wait! There was a woman who looked just like Elsa in the dream too. She could make ice! If Skadi was a frost giant and a goddess of winter she could make ice too right? She put a snake over his head."

"Wha-what did Skadi do?" Anna asked nervously.

"She placed a snake over Loki's head. Constantly dripping venom into his eyes. They say that he would scream so loud the earth would rumble. Heh, actually they believed that Loki's wife would catch the venom with a bowl but every time she would leave to empty it Loki's screams would cause earthquakes. Funny story." Elsa finished the sentence with a small laugh and a smile.

But Anna didn't think it was a silly story. There were too many similarities between the myth and her dream. Too many similarities between the woman of her dream and Elsa. Plus Anna could have sworn the room was colder a while ago when Elsa was upset. And that she could have sworn she saw frost in her peripheral vision for a brief second. She thought it was just her mind playing games, not so sure now.

"Um Elsa. What if they aren't stories?" Anna asked curious about Elsa's mother and who Elsa is more than ever. But Elsa just laughed. "This girl is just too funny."

"I may have believed in them when I was really little. But thankfully my dad kept reminding me that there was always a scientific explanation for things. I mean come on Anna. You know that the moon and the sun aren't giants being chased by wolves. You know that lightning is made by clouds not a God's hammer. Oh and the myths also say that the earth was made from the body of a giant. I don't think those are true." Elsa said reassuringly, but Anna could sense doubt in her voice.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Anna relented.

"But I still think there is more than meets the eye. Maybe the gods aren't real but there must be truth behind the lies. And I know you sense it too Elsa. Well one things for sure I am going to figure you out.

"Hey you know Elsa I really enjoyed spending time with you. You're so smart."

Elsa smiled and said "I really enjoyed this too Anna. Hey I also overheard that you needed to study for something?"

"Damn this girl has good hearing!" Anna thought.

"Yeah. My finals are next week and I suck at geometry." Anna said pouting.

"Oh well geometry is one of my favorite subjects. I can help you study if you want." Elsa asked with willingness in her voice.

"Maybe it's a good thing we aren't that alike. Anna thought.

"I would love that." Anna said with a sincere smile. Elsa smiled back. And Anna was thinking..

"We are going to have a great time!"

At this same time, at the Hanson's mansion. Marcy was in her room trying to drown out the noise with headphones on full blast. Their mother was barely paying attention as she was drinking her 6th glass of wine.

Kevin all the while was in his father's study, it was a white painted room with a white carpet floor and two large black windows. On the shelves there were trophies from high school and college for football, wrestling, debate team. Not Kevin's however, they were his father's. The same father who was screaming his son's ears off from his oak desk while his son just stood there half-petrified.

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING SPENDING MY MONEY!?" John screamed at his son, who was sweating and stuttering.

""Uh d-dad y-you weren't….."

"Uh d-dad y-you?" Mr. Hanson repeated in a mocking impersonation of his son's voice "Speak up I can barely understand you. Fucking dumbass!" He yelled, which made Kevin step back in fear.

"Sorry dad." Kevin said quickly.

"Sorry doesn't give me back the money you spent. God damn Kevin you spent nearly a thousand dollars paying my people to find out...what the fuck did you even ask them to find anyways?" Just as Kevin was about to speak his father cut him off "No! I don't wanna hear it!" John said shaking his head, his face tense with anger.

"I didn't think it would really matter. I mean we're rich."

"You didn't think? I told you never to assume! Assuming makes an ASS out of YOU! And WE are not rich! I am rich YOU are the dumbass who spends half of what I make on dumb crap. God damn, a thousand dollars for information, ARE YOU STUPID!? ARE YOU THAT FUCKING STUPID!?"

Then John's face turned from anger to disgust as his son looked down and started frowning, his face looking like he was about to cry.

"Hey-HEY! Stop that!" John shouted angrily as he lifted his son's head by the hair to meet his gaze. "You are a Hanson! Hansons don't cry! We are men not mice! Are you a Hanson!?" He asked his son, Kevin gave a small smile and muttered.

"Yes. I'm a Hanson." At that point John began to calm down a bit.

"Alright. Now don't go spending that much money without asking. Now get the fuck out."

As soon as John said those words Kevin walked quickly out of the office. As he walked through the living room he passed his mom sitting on the island table with a empty wine bottle in her hand.

"Hey sorry about that Kevin. You know how irritable your father is. Can you get your mommy some wine?" The mother says to her son. But Kevin just ignores her and continues to walk away angrily.

He gets down the hall to his room. He slams the door behind him. His room is a mess, like his father the walls were white in color with white carpet flooring. Except everywhere there were dirty clothes, underwear, socks, shirts and jeans. There were posters of naked women on all the walls. His bed was blue sheets and next to it was a desk of redwood which his laptop sat on. Looking at the device Kevin pushed his humiliation out of his head and sat down at the desk. He wiped away his face of sorrow and put on a face of determination and anger. He opened it up and pulled up Elsa's file which he had his father's contacts get for him. He skimmed through it looking for any information Marcy may have neglected to tell him. And there he found a section saying that in high school a she served detention with a girl named Snow White because they had a fight. Next thing you now Kevin was searching this Snow White online hoping to find a phone number.

"Ok Elsa. Time to get fucked!"

For those of you who think the chapter was too long. Sorry but I had to get this all out there.
