Chapter 2 – The Park

Knock Knock

Elsa heard someone was knocking at her door. She groaned and squirmed on her bed. She blinked a few times as she felt the morning sun ray came through her window. She saw her digital clock on a table beside her bed. Seven AM? Why would someone even wants to see her this early?

"Elsaaaa?" A male voice called out her name.

"Huh?" She sat on her bed and scratched her eyes then yawned.

"Are you awake?" That voice came out again.

"Whaaat?" Elsa could feel her long hair was tangled after her long night sleep.

"Tomorrow, let's just refresh our minds from school," He laughed as he stepped out of the San Fransokyo cafe, "I'll pick you up at seven AM, agree?"

She smiled, "Agree."

"Oh no!" Elsa shouted.

"It's okay, I'll just wait," Jack shouted back from outside.

Elsa rushed into her bathroom, had a quick bath, brushed her teeth, and then wore an ice blue crop top with a long denim trousers. She combed her hair quickly, and then braided it into a french braid. She ran to her door, and then opened it. Jack was playing with a strayed kitten when she opened the door, and he looked at her with a surprise look.

"You look beautiful," He smiled, "Even though you're late," He chuckled.

"I'm sooo sorry," Elsa felt guilty. Jack waved his hand, "Nah, It's okay." He was in a blue hoodie, and brown long trousers with navy-colored sneakers. His brown hair, as usual, was naturally blown by the soft wind.

Elsa smiled, "So, where are we going?"

Jack shrugged his shoulder, "I have no idea, to be honest," Elsa looked at him surprisedly, causing him to laugh, "Swimming? Maybe?"

Elsa shook her head, "I can't swim."

"Hmm... Okay..." He looked like he was thinking, "Do you have rollerskates?"

"Um, yeah, why?"

Jack chuckled, "Then I know a park nearby that is perfect for rollerskating!"

Elsa skated through the park. Jack took her to a local park which is called California Central Park. It was a beatiful park, with large trees, a fountain in the middle, and it also didn't have a lot of people, so it was peaceful. Elsa took a deep breath and smiled. Rollerskating was reminding her of her homeland and Anna. They used to skate together, but back there in Norway, what they did was iceskating. But still, rollerskating gave her homesick.

"Elsa!" Jack called her. He was behind her, skating too, but unlike Elsa who was already good at skating, Jack was still, yeah... , learning. He was struggling to skate in a straight line. Elsa stopped skating and helped him.

"You know... you didn't have to recommend skating if you couldn't skate," Elsa giggled.

"Don't mind me," Jack was trying to balance himself, "I know you love skating."

Their eyes met, and Elsa couldn't help but smile. Elsa took his hand, and then guided him. They skated together, laughed together, and hugged each other whenever Jack was going to fall. They were still giggling when they had stopped skating. Elsa tried to help Jack standing with his rollerskates on. And then Elsa saw a popsicle counter.

"Jack, do you wanna buy that?"

"Sure!" Jack answered.

"Stay here, okay? Now, I'm gonna let go of your hands, and you can skate to that tree," Elsa pointed to a nearby big tree. Jack nodded, "Easy peasy."

Elsa let Jack go slowly, and then she skated to the popsicle counter. She was just ordering two popsiscles, when she heard a crash.

"Jack!"

"Ouch," Jack whimpered when Elsa was treating his bruises with clean water. She sighed. She only left him for a few seconds, and he already ended up with bruises on his knees, arms, and his face. They were sitting beneath a big tree, protected from the sun by the leaves. Elsa carefully treated Jack's bruises. They had already taken their rollerskates off.

"Sorry," Jack pouted, "And thank you," He smiled.

Elsa laughed, and after she had finished treating Jack, she stood up.

"Where are you going?" Jack gave her his confused look.

"I'm going to continue buying that popsicle!"

A few minutes later, Elsa gave Jack a mint popsicle. She bought herself an icy chocolate popsicle. Jack took his ice cream and mouthed 'Thank You' to Elsa. Elsa nodded and sat beside Jack. When Jack licked his popsicle, his eyes shone and he exclaimed, "This is the best popsicle I've ever tasted!"

Elsa laughed, "I thought you're common with this area."

"Well, I used to," Jack smiled and continued eating his popsicle, "I used to visit this park every week with my parents, but I stopped when I was on high school."

"Why?"

Jack stopped eating his popsicle, and then he stared into nothing, "My parents, they were... gone... disappeared without any trace."

"I'm sorry," Elsa touched his cheek so that he would look into her eyes again.

"No," Jack smiled and chuckled, "I'm the one who should sorry for ruining the moment."

"My parents died in a car accident when I was on junior high school," Elsa said, "Since then, Anna and I had to do a part time job for our living."

"Elsa... I'm so sorry," Jack looked at her sadly. Elsa didn't even flinched, or cried, she just smiled.

"I'm very happy I could see you again. You remind me of old memories back there in Norway when we were kids, and even though I'm far from home, I feel like I'm in home already," Elsa rested her head on Jack's shoulder, and they were both leaning on the tree's big trunk. They stayed in that position in silence for a few minutes, continued eating their popsicle. As soon as they finished eating, Jack was the one who started talking.

"Elsa?"

"Hmm?"

"I always thought of you as my little sister, you know..."

"Oh... I see," Elsa said in disappointment. Why was she disappointed? She didn't know. Maybe because she hoped more.

"But..."

"But?"

"I... I've been feeling something... something more... since I first saw you at the college... and I was just thinking that... that... maybe I felt..." Jack was trying to set up his words, but he was so nervous that it turned out to be awkward. Elsa turned to face Jack, and his face was deep red. Elsa felt so embarassed, but she had to do this. She drew her face closer to his, and she slowly closed her eyes. And in no time, their lips met. Jack was surprised, but then he closed his eyes too. It was a soft, long, and innocent kiss. They parted slowly, and they could see that their face was in a total red. Jack was just about to say something, when Elsa put her index finger on Jack's lip.

"I felt the same," She chuckled. They shared a long hug, and they were laughing together.

"So," Jack said when they parted, "When do you wanna make it official?"
