It was a sleepless night for Elsa and Anna. They laid in their beds and stared at the ceiling. Elsa was a little more stressed. Ever since she was a little girl she was told that someone of royalty couldn't get romantically involved with someone of the same sex. She was reminded constantly by her parents but found it to be pointless considering she didn't even know what these so called romantic feelings left like. But that was when she was a child, before she met Apollonia. Before she felt that electric feeling go up her body. This couldn't mean that she had harbored feelings for the girl right? She was eighteen, Elsa was twenty one. They couldn't be together. Elsa didn't even know if Apollonia felt the same way. For all she knew Apollonia could just see Elsa as friend. 'But maybe she did feel the same way.' Her mind begged. She shook that out of her mind quickly. 'This is nothing but a little crush. Nothing more. That feeling was probably nothing.'
But she couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be in a relationship with Apollonia. Holding the younger girl in her arms, holding her hand while taking long walks through the woods, running her fingers through Apollonia's long, soft hair, kissing those soft lips. . . 'Whoa, there Elsa! She's three years younger than you, you can't think about stuff like that!' Her mind scolded. She turned to a new position and just tried to make herself calm down as she waited for sleep to over take her.
Anna was struggling to figure out what these feelings meant. She's never felt this way about anyone, not even Kristoff. Which was part of the reason why their relationship didn't last as long as they thought. Apollonia was her friend and she didn't want to ruin it by this silly crush. Her and Elsa were always told that women shouldn't like other women. Her parents always said that it was wrong, but why did these feelings feel so right? What would Elsa think? She was the Queen of Arendelle because she was more responsible and knew the rules that her parents told her like she knew the back of her hand. Elsa would probably scold Anna for having these feelings, saying that she should be ashamed of herself, but the mere thought of that just broke Anna's heart. She couldn't tell anyone about these feelings. Not Elsa and definitely not Apollonia. She'd just have to hide these forbidden feelings just until her and Elsa could get back home. She just hoped that those researchers would find a way to get them home fast. Her eye lids grew heavier and eventually fell asleep.
"Anna." Apollonia whispered, gently shaking the red head. Anna just grumbled and turned on her stomach. "Get up, we have a big day ahead of us." Nothing was working. Apollonia huffed out of annoyance, grabbed a pillow that was on the floor and smacked Anna on her head, really hard. "Ow!" The princess yelled. She flipped herself over and was faced with a snickering Apollonia. Her hair was tied into a ponytail while a pair of rather short shorts revealed a great amount of her legs, a counselor t-shirt and a pair of sunglasses hanging off the collar. Anna could tell Apollonia recently took a shower because she smelt of honey and coconuts with the slightest hint of lavender. The princess fought her urges to wrap her arms around the other girl's neck and devour her lips right then and there. "Good morning, princess." Apollonia said, snapping Anna's attention toward her. "G- good morning, Abby."
"Abby?" Anna felt her eyes widen. Why did she call her that? It wasn't even apart of her name. "Y- yeah! I figured that you needed a nickname because your name is pretty long. Not that it's a bad thing! You have a beautiful name! It's beautiful like you. I mean no! Y- you are very pretty I just thought you needed a nickname because- oh gosh I'm rambling, aren't I?" Anna blushed a deeper shade of red. Apollonia just smiled and laughed at Anna's rambling. "It's okay, Anna, I kind of like the nickname." Anna let a breath of relief and mentally thanked who ever was watching over that Apollonia didn't think she was weird. "Anyways, get dressed because breakfast is being served in thirty minutes and we're leaving for a hike through the mountains later on." Apollonia smiled. She left a few more pairs of shorts and t-shirts on the edge of Anna's bed as she walked out and shut the door. When Anna was sure that Apollonia was out ear shot, she groaned rather loudly and hit her palm on her forehead. "Why did you have to call her beautiful?" She asked herself.
The black haired teen knocked on Elsa's bedroom door and waited for a reply. After a few minutes of silence she opened the door and saw the young queen soundly asleep, wrapped up in the blankets. "Elsa, wake up we're heading down to the mess hall for breakfast." She said, walking over to her bed side. Elsa was still asleep though. Apollonia must've talked a little too quietly. She figured she might as well wake her up the same way as she did with Anna. Just as Apollonia was about bring down the pillow on Elsa's head, the Snow Queen suddenly jumped up, capturing Apollonia's arms and bringing her down on the bed with the queen on top, straddling Apollonia's thighs. The problem was, Elsa thought it was Anna who snuck into her room, not the Italian beauty below her. Elsa realized this a little too late. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I thought you were Anna!"
"Do you always straddle your sister's thighs?" Apollonia teased.
"No, of course not! This straddling thing just happened. Again, I'm sorry."
"It's okay. But, Elsa?"
"Yes?"
"You're still on top of me."
Elsa scrambled off of the younger girl quickly with deeply shaded cheeks. "Well as interesting as that was, you might want to get dressed because breakfast is being served in twenty minutes and we're going hiking."
"I don't have any more clothes." Elsa mumbled, still feeling embarrassed about her straddling the girl.
"I left you some more out in the hall with some sunscreen. Hop to it, Elsa!" Apollonia smiled as she ruffled the blonde's platinum locks before leaving the room. "What the hell is wrong with me?" Elsa asked. 'Admit it, you kind of liked having her under you.' She ignored that little annoying voice and went to retrieve her clothes and dressed as fast she could. Maybe a nice long hike could help her clear her head.
