Hello dearies!
I bring to you the next part in our little story!
For those that didn't check my profile on why last week was skipped let me sum it up...
*clears throay* easter weekend, short week, didn't have time.
Now on we go!
It's been a week. My body still hurts sometimes. Oaken was nice and said I can take it easy till I feel better. My sides were turning all shades of black a blue and some were still tender to the touch. I could breathe a bit better, but laughing still hurt. The doctor couldn't do too much, due to not having painkillers and such, he did make me a weird concoction of herbs and stuff for the pain and swelling, it worked to a point. As for Hans and the other dudes, I wasn't told what happened to them just that they will get the worst punishment imaginable. Right now Rapunzel was leading me to the waterfall for my little party. Oaken and the rest wished me when I woke up. I got some new cloths and a nifty pocket watch! I've actually always wanted one. I thought they were cool.
"Tada! Happy birthday Anna!" Rapunzel yelled along with Kristoff and Elsa. There was a blanket spread on the grass and food was everywhere, even a big cake in the middle.
"Wow this is really awesome, thank you all," I smiled and went to give each hugs.
"Open my present first!" Rapunzel chirped and I chuckled taking a rather decent sized wrapped present from her. Inside was a painting of us four together.
"Wow, this is amazing Punzie!" I gaped at it.
So detailed!
"Mine next!" Kristoff said and grinned as he gave me something smaller, turned out to be a pocket knife.
"Whoa, dude this is cool," I said and flicked it open.
Shiny!
"I guess this means the best is for last?" I joked and Elsa blushed.
"I don't know about that," she said and gave me a rather intricate daisy chain to put on my head.
"Wow, Elsa for me?" I asked and took it gently from her and placed it on my head.
"I love it! I love all my gifts! You guys are the best thank you," I smiled and hugged them all in one big hug. My body was screaming, but I didn't care.
"Let's go swim!" Kristoff yelled. He and Rapunzel both jumped in. Only then did I notice Elsa wasn't wearing swim wear.
"Aren't you going in?" I asked and she looked down to her hands.
"I can't swim," she whispered.
Oh…oh!
"I can teach you," I said and she looked to me.
"Good luck with that! I've been trying for years," Kristoff laughed.
"Oh, that's okay then, I'll sit out with you Elsa," I smile to her and she blushes curling into herself.
"No, I-I'd like for you to teach me," she smiled shyly bringing a shoulder up in a slight shrug. I heard splashing to the side.
"What? Elsa, you don't even like the water!" He yelped and then I saw Rapunzel dunk him under water.
"Don't listen to him!" She yelled and then the two started wrestling. I looked back to Elsa as she picked up a bag.
"You really don't have to go swim," I said and she shook her head giving me a half smile.
Wow, that's actually really beautiful.
"I think it's time I learned," she smiled.
"The water's cold," I warned.
"The cold never bothered me anyway," she smiled and disappeared into the bushes to go change. I smiled and waited for her to come back. Walking over to the blanket I put away my gifts and eat a strawberry.
"I'm ready," she said and I looked to her. She wore something similar to Rapunzel, but damn she looked way better. I took her hand and we walked into the water. Once submerged to our shoulders I stopped walking. She looked scared and uncomfortable.
"Relax Elsa, I got you," I smiled and she seemed to relax a bit.
"There we go," I cooed and lifted her legs up as I held her.
"Just relax, the more relaxed you are the more you float," she nodded and I managed to get her on her back as I rested my hands under her back.
"Try not to breathe too much, the air in your lungs help you float," I explained. She nodded and soon as I felt comfortable I let her go. I smiled wide at seeing that she stayed afloat.
"Alright, look at you floating!" I cheered and to the side I saw Kristoff and Rapunzel clapping.
"Okay, now that you know how to float on your back let's try normal floating," I said and helped her to stand on the ground.
"Okay, spread your arms, no, no, not too wide, like so and then you use your legs to slowly kick at the water under you to keep you up," I said as I demonstrated for her.
"Let me take you a bit deeper so you don't use the ground as much," I said and moved her in deeper till where we both had nothing under us. I held her waist as she looked a bit panicked.
"I got you Elsa, I got you," I smiled as she slowly got the hang of it.
"How are you floating when you're not using your arms?" She asked confused.
"I have a lot of experience, I had swimming classes as a kid, my instructor even taught me how to float without disturbing the water," I smiled and she blinked.
"But that's not important and is only used when you sneak up to someone," I explained and smiled as she was now staying above water without me holding her.
"Look Elsa you're doing it!" I smiled and showed her my hands. Her eyes widened and she looked down.
"Swimming is basically second nature, it's just when you panic that you have trouble keeping your head above water, now the last thing I'm going to show you is how to do the doggy paddle, the most basic of swimming,"
"Doggy paddle?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"It's how animals swim," I explained then proceeded to show her by doing a lap around her. She giggled and watched me.
"I-I think I'm good just floating," she said and I shrugged.
"Your choice, I don't mind," I smiled and all four of us just floated together.
This was perfect.
I for one hate swimming...I CAN swim I just don't LIKE to.
