I got 100 views in the last chapter which is a lot for me so aye as a treat here's chapter 5 early because I wasn't even going to write this until about next week or something.

Brunch with Aurora and Belle had been great and all Elsa could think about was perfect everything was. They went to a French café where the food was delicious and Elsa decided to treat herself to waffles. Not just ordinary waffles; these were doused in heavenly chocolate spread, peanuts sprinkled with a huge ball of ice cream on top. Father would not have approved of such an 'unhealthy' choice but she just couldn't resist.

Something she learnt was that Aurora was obsessed with taking pictures whether playful selfies or candids of green potted plants in bland corners. Elsa disliked taking pictures but being with Belle and Aurora made it a lot more fun. They had spent a solid hour goofing off and Aurora even made her an Instagram insisting that Snapchat wasn't enough. She also only got the latter because Anna was just fond of having streaks.

The morning was topped off with a visit to the nail salon which Elsa would have never thought she'd find herself in. They had an extensive mural of all the colours and patterns they offered. She was impressed and almost took longer than Aurora to decide what to get.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. It was a couple of hours past noon and Elsa was locked away in her room staring blankly at her half-finished history essay.

She thought, this essay isn't even due until next week I can stop now

Elsa aimlessly typed away another paragraph before deleting it and letting out a groan of frustration. She opened one of the drawers in her desk and rummaged through, finding a copy of the latest figure skating magazine Skating Galore. The beautiful, blue cursive and glossy cover lured her in. It was practically the bible of ice skating comprised with tips, articles, looks and gossip.

She began to flick through the pages calmly and noted, "Hm...strange."

Elsa started at the beginning at a slightly slower pace. Nothing, again. She began to frantically turn the pages almost ripping through them but it was the same outcome. It had to be in there, everyone knew about it. The date. The DATE. When was this released? she furrowed her eyebrows in thought.

Elsa flipped over the magazine and her eyes narrowed, "That was...two months ago."

After slamming the magazine back into her drawer, Elsa quickly got up and paced around her room. Ninety-nine percent of the time, she knew exactly where to find things in her room and was irritated that she found herself looking under her bed and wherever else she could think of. She couldn't fathom how on earth she managed to miss out on two issues.

Usually her parents would-

Father would know where they are, she remembered and instantly rushed downstairs to the living room. Her father was sat on a sofa reading a large newspaper whilst her mother was sat in an armchair watching TV.

Her father calmly lowered the newspaper, "Yes, dear?"

"I can't seem to find my copies of Skating Galore. I'm missing the two most recent issues."

Her mother turned to face her, "Have you checked your room?"

Elsa nodded, "Yes. I can't find them anywhere, not even in my collection."

"I'm sure you're not missing out on anything. Don't waste your time with that," Agnarr said in an attempt to be comforting.

"I'm sure the next issues will arrive perhaps they've been delivered to Arendelle instead," her mother chimed in.

That certainly was a possibility but Elsa was certain that she had changed her address for the subscription. She said, "You're probably right. Thanks, bye."

Once she had left the room her mother, Iduna commented, "I told you she was going to notice."

Agnarr turned the page of his newspaper, "We had to throw those away. It would have done her no good reading the debacle all over again. She already experienced that in the moment, why relive it?"

Back in Elsa's room, the blonde hadn't given up just yet. Skating Galore only published manually which Elsa thought was pretentious and out of the touch with this rapidly evolving technological world. She opened up the Internet browser and her fingers hesitantly stalled.

Great, what do I even write?

Elsa then quickly typed Elsa Ingrid and Snow White and her finger hovered over the enter button. She gave the button a quick press and the search listed many, many articles that seemed to go on forever. The first article had instantly caught her eye:

Elsa Ingrid permanently out of season?!

She clicked without a second thought and skimmed through trying to process in as much information she could.

...no proof...solo job...suspecting Snow/her team...as the culprit(s)...no statements from either party...undergoing investigation...

There was a picture of her and a girl with black hair in a bob put side by side. A wave of guilt and disgust washed over her simultaneously as she clicked away onto another website. And another.

And another.

Suddenly her door busted open, Elsa jolted in her seat and clicked off the page revealing her still unfinished essay. She rapidly turned around and relaxed once she saw it was just Anna.

Elsa reprimanded, "You scared the daylights out of me."

Anna peered at her monitor, "Ew, are you doing homework? It's Saturday."

"Of course. What else would I be doing?"

Anna clasped her hands together, "Ohhhhhh, I don't know. Hanging out with me and Punzie."

"Um..."

"Please. You barely ever leave the house unless it's to skate."

"I already went out."

Anna crossed her arms, "Getting bread doesn't count."

"Actually, I went out for brunch with Aurora and Belle," Elsa tilted her head mocking Anna's tone. She then wiggled her fingers, "Then got our nails done."

"You can go out with them but not me?" Anna's jaw dropped.

Elsa reminded her, "We went out to a drive in Tuesday and yesterday we went to get mozzarella sticks."

Anna giggled, "Oh yeah. Well, you're still going out."

Elsa pouted, "But I just did. Once is enough."

"God, sometimes I wonder how you're my sister. Stop being so lame we can't keep Astrid and Rapunzel waiting, I already said that you would come. You're also dressed, just put on shoes!"

"Fine," Elsa gave in getting up.

Anna squealed in happiness and sauntered out of Elsa's room. She followed her sister downstairs, albeit not sliding down the bannister. They both put on their shoes and promptly said goodbye to their parents.

Relieved, Anna admitted, "This also means you're my ride."

Elsa rolled her eyes playfully as they got in her car, "Gee. I feel so loved."

They buckled themselves in and once Elsa had backed out of the driveway she asked, "Where are we meeting them?"

"Arcade. Astrid is trying to beat the new high score because someone bumped her down to third."

"Cool."

The car ride was as normal as it could be, save for Anna deciding that it was the perfect time to have an all out karaoke session. It was easy to find a parking space and when they stepped out of the car Anna looked confused.

Elsa asked, "What's wrong, Anna?"

Anna replied, "Zel said she was outside looking for us literally ten seconds ago and I don't see her anywhere."

"She's probably just inside. Let's go."

The pair made their way to the entrance and Elsa looked up at the sign. It was an arcade, bowling alley and mini diner all wrapped into one. She felt like a tourist no matter what even in Arendelle she wasn't sure if she would be able to name 3 good spots to hangout. Right, maybe an exaggeration but it was still close enough.

"There's Punzie!" Anna exclaimed, pointing her out.

"With Flynn and Aster," Elsa added.

Anna gasped and then started laughing, "Wow, she's not subtle. Come on, Elsa."

They both quickly made her way over to their cousin and Elsa could hear Anna whisper teasingly to Rapunzel, "If you just wanted an excuse to hang out with Flynn, why didn't you just say so?"

Rapunzel promptly hit her on the shoulder, "Shut up."

Anna began laughing, "Okay keep pretending. I get it."

Rapunzel then saw Elsa and gave her a hug, "Elsa, you made it!"

"Good to see you too, Zel!" Elsa hugged back.

Astrid, Jack, Hiccup and Tooth gradually joined too. Flynn announced, "We're all here, great! Just wanted to ask you all which one of you wants to be thrashed in air hockey first?"

Anna coughed, "RApuNzel."

Flynn took Rapunzel's arm and brought her away, "I thought you'd never say. Let's see what you're made of."

Rapunzel frowned, "What? No, that was clearly Anna talking. Challenge her."

Astrid said before heading to a machine, "I still need to beat that stupid score so...you know where I'll be."

Anna suggested, "Six of us. Does anyone want to shoot some hoops?"

Elsa nodded, "I'm up for that."

Jack, Aster, Hiccup and Tooth collectively agreed. There were three hoops and Anna smiled, "We can get into pairs."

Aster swung an arm around Jack, "I'm going with Overland. We're so gonna beat all of you."

Anna rolled her eyes, "It's just a friendly game. We're not even on a court."

Jack smirked, "Yeah and this is just some friendly competition."

Anna turned to Elsa, "By the way. I'm not partnering up with you."

"OUCH! Your own sister," Aster commented.

What kind of betrayal? She's the one preaching sisterly love?

Elsa looked at her sister in shock and Anna shrugged, "Els, no hard feelings but you cannot aim."

She retorted, "I thought you said it was just a friendly game."

"Yeah, obviously. I still want to stand a chance, though so Tooth let's be partners."

Jack stifled, chuckling and Aster obnoxiously laughed. Tooth agreed, "Sure thing, Anna."

Hiccup sheepishly smiled, "Guess you're stuck with me, Elsa."

Elsa said, "That's fine. We can just show everyone else how it's done."

Aster teased, "Ooooh, watch out. There's gonna be a Winters' sister face off."

"No hard feelings, Els!"

/-/

"Are you any good at shooting?" Elsa asked taking a basketball.

Hiccup shrugged, "I dunno. You?"

Elsa copied his movements, "No clue. We should be fine, it's only for fun."

Anna butted in, "Get ready to looooooose, Elsa."

Elsa uttered, "Hiccup. Forget what I said. We need to beat Anna and Tooth."

/-/

Jack and Aster were racing ahead as expected. They got most of their shots in and even though they were well in the lead never slacked off. Elsa wasn't as bad as she thought she would be and was thrilled that Anna and Tooth were struggling. It was a race to see who could get 50 in the smallest amount of time.

Unsurprisingly Jack and Aster had already finished and it was left to the remaining four. The score were pretty close. Hiccup then had a surge of luck and managed to get six in a row.

Anna exclaimed, "Tooth! We need to score!"

Aster smugly said, "If you lose this is going to be embarrassing for you."

"We're not gonna lose!" Tooth snapped.

Elsa's face fell in disappointment as she missed for what had to be the 13th time at least. Jack took a ball and threw it in Hiccup and Elsa's hoop. Elsa looked at him and he put a finger to his lips. She gave him a thankful smile in return.

Anna shouted, "Jack! What are you doing there?"

Jack put his hands up, "Providing moral support for some friends, nothing wrong with that."

Tooth turned her head, "I'm your friend too, Jack."

"TOOTH! He's distracting you on purpose, FOCUS!"

Elsa found herself giggling, "Honestly, Anna. If only you were this determined in your school work because then you'd have valedictorian in the bag."

Aster yelled, "SHOTS FIREDDDDD."

Anna felt her jaw drop, "ELSA. You did NOT."

Hiccup then jumped, "We got 50!"

Anna narrowed, "What, no you didn't! You were on like 37."

Elsa smiled, "Yeah we did. We beat you!"

Hiccup held his hand up for a high five and Elsa gladly returned it. Jack put his hands up, Hiccup and Elsa both gave a high five. He quietly joked, "You're welcome for helping you get about 12 in."

Tooth asked, "So, what's the forfeit?"

"Forfeit?" Elsa asked.

Jack explained, "The losers usually do a forfeit when losing a challenge."

Elsa found herself thinking, I didn't think this was taken that seriously...?

Anna asked in a high-pitched tone, "I wonder where Flynn and Rapunzel are."

Aster chuckled, "Is it bad I'm thinking the worst?"

Hiccup shook his head, "Nope. I immediately thought the same."

Tooth shook her head, "Ugh, you're both unbelievable."

"Oh, come on. You know how Flynn can be."

"Moving on," Jack said, "More games or should we eat?"

Anna put her finger to her chin, "I think that was a decent amount of exercise so I vote eat."

Tooth said, "There's another few arcade games I want to play."

Hiccup added, "There's a plate of nachos calling my name."

Anna grabbed Hiccup's jumper, "Great, that's all I needed to hear. On our way, we go. If anyone wants to join, come now but I'm not waiting for anyone."

Aster stood for a few more seconds before bounding off, "I didn't eat lunch."

Jack remarked, "And then there were three."

Elsa said, "Four if you count Astrid in the corner."

"Is she still playing that?" Tooth asked in shock.

Astrid hadn't budged at all and she seemed glued to the machine. Moments later, Flynn and Rapunzel appeared. Rapunzel brought her long blonde hair to one side, "Where did the others go?"

Elsa replied, "To eat."

Jack mischievously grinned, "Where did you guys run off to?"

Flynn smirked, "You know...we-"

"Did nothing of that sort," Rapunzel said placing a hand on her hip, "I went to the bathroom and he just decided to accompany me. Weirdo."

"As if you weren't calling me gentlemanly, don't act new, Punzie."

"Don't call me that."

/-/

Elsa wasn't entirely sure how but she found herself alone with Jack. The logical explanation she came up with was:

She went to buy something from the vending machine.

Said something became stuck in vending machine.

Jack helped get it out.

They're still at the vending machine.

Why were they still at the vending machine?

"I never got to ask but how are you enjoying it here?"

Elsa replied, "It feels nice to be around my family again, especially Anna. I've missed her."

Jack asked, "That's good. Where were you before?"

"Arendelle."

"Where's that?"

"Pretty small kingdom off Norway."

Jack's eyes widened, "Whoa, that's so cool. What's it like there?"

"Cold," she blurted and then continued, "It's really cold for the most part but also beautiful."

"How come you were there by yourself?"

Elsa explained, "I wouldn't say by myself. I lived with some relatives of mine and went to an academy. When my family moved here I decided to stay because I was representing Arendelle in a big competition. Then...I just never joined them."

Jack asked, "So...are you representing the USA now...or...?"

"Um...no. I'm on a small break but eventually I'll compete soon enough."

"When's that?"

"There's a local competition that Mrs Losev- I mean Kristi wants me to enter in. It's not anything major but...you know."

Jack nodded, "Oh, I think I know which one you're talking about. Emma loves watching those."

Elsa asked, "Emma?"

Jack replied, "Yeah, my sister. She's in middle school. Hey, I'll come watch you!"

Elsa felt herself awkwardly laughing and turning red, "Oh...I don't know."

Jack nudged her arm, "I'm a great hype man trust me."

Elsa tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, "Now, I'm worried."

"Do you do that on purpose?"

"Do what?"

Jack pointed towards her forehead smiling, "When you smile your eyebrows kind of go inflect upwards."

How do I respond to that? Elsa's cheeks started to flush and she turned away to face the vending machine.

Jack stepped forward laughing and stretched his arm along her shoulder, "No, wait. It was compliment, it's really cute."

Elsa crossed her arms and had a shy expression on her face, "You just like embarrassing me."

"I don't do it on purpose," he grinned, drawing her in.

hopefully i didn't make too many mistakes because i tend to just skim read really quickly over (i just hate rereading my own work that's all)
