Today's the daayyyy. Today is finally THE DAY ! I have been waiting for this day to arrive since... since birth ! John thinks excitedly while he hums softly. Today he's finally pop the question. He can't wait. Elsa is already gone off to work so he can do his things without having her around, asking what he's doing all the time. Because she's like that, she always needs to know what everybody is doing and how everybody is doing. Only then, she can do her own things. That's one of the things John likes so much about her. She's very concerned about somebody else's well-being rather than her own.

John walks to the closet to gather some clothes. Most of his old suits are too small and some aren't even that beautiful anymore. This night needs to be a night to remember and he has to look at his finest. As he picks out the best clothes for the evening, he starts to remember when the last time was he and Elsa had been talking about marriage. It has been a while ago but he can remember it very clear.

Elsa and John are sitting on a towel on the beach. It's a beautiful warm day, a good day for the beach. Elsa is wearing a blue bikini and John his yellow swimming shorts. They just came out of the water and are letting the sun dry them up. Elsa sits on the towel with her legs pressed against her body and her arms hugging her legs. John lays behind her and lets his fingers run over the middle her back. In the distance, a young couple is getting a wedding photo shoot. The woman is wearing a white dress and the man a tuxedo, the family of the two are cheering loudly for them as the pictures are being taken.

"Look John. They just married." Elsa points at the couple.

"Yeah, they look beautiful." John says dreamily.

Elsa nods. "I like her dress, it's gorgeous !"

"Hmmm, I bet it would look nice on you too Els."

She turns her head with her eyebrows raised.

John simply shrugged. "Nothing, just saying that a wedding dress probably will look very nice on you. You have a face and a body that will go with everything you wear."

"I bet a tuxedo would look very handsome on you too."

"Ye think ? I really like suits. I wonder how married life is. I heard different stories about it."

Elsa nods. "Yeah, and I wonder how he asked her, did he do it romantically or did he just blurt it out ?"

"What would you prefer ? Romantically with just the two of us or with the whole family ?" John suddenly asks Elsa.

"Oh eh, I don't know. I think that has to come from you, how you would want to ask me. We could do it private with only family and a few friends, I don't know I don't really like public places that much."

"Ok, that's good to know."

"But I don't want to make plans you know. If we did, then it wouldn't be a surprise and I want it to be a surprise. Like that you really want to marry me John, not just because I want to."

"Uh, oh because I was just thinking about maybe you would want to be mine and then we could be uhm, and that would be nice but only if you wanted to. I mean, I'm not forcing you but... You know, I'm kinda asking you if you want but you don't have to." He rambles.

Elsa narrows her eyes. "What did you just say ?"

"I uhm, I actually want you to be with me...For the rest of my life. I honestly do and I have been thinking about it for quite a while but I didn't know how to say it to you." He quickly adds.

"Oh gosh, I don't know John..." She says hesitating.

"Ok, let me make it easier. Do you want to marry me, and not just because we were just talking about it. It's because I really want to and I hope you will want too ?"

Elsa is taken by surprise, then she smiles and sighs deeply. "Listen John, you are a very sweet boyfriend and I love being around you. But don't you think this whole marriage idea is a little too soon ? I mean, you have to go on duty in two months ! I won't see you for another half year, what if you discover that you don't really love me. What if you find someone else who can make you happier than I can ? If we were married, then we would have to get a divorce and I don't do divorces. Let's just wait with the whole marriage thing ok ? I like what we have now. We still have plenty of time."

John looks really disappointed and Elsa feels really guilty. "Don't worry." He sighs. "Take your time, whenever you feel ready for it then just let me know. You must know that I'm ready to take the step, I'm here for you."

She smiles gentle, appreciating that John's willing to wait for her. "Thanks sweetie." She kisses him on the lips. "I'll let you know when I'm ready."

Well, it's been nine months further and she still hasn't talked about it but John really has the feeling that she's ready for it. He just knows it and if she rejects him then they could always wait until she feels ready. They don't have to split up immediately, right ? He's done with dressing and walks to the kitchen to fetch his dog and write Elsa a note. He's going to need the whole day to arrange the last things for tonight and he doesn't want her to see him already dressed up. Being satisfied with his note, he grabs the dog and leaves the house. The front door slams into the lock.

Jack is daydreaming again. He stares at the most beautiful teacher in the world and just can't keep his eyes off hers. They are so gorgeous and intriguing and big ! He feels like e could swim in her cyan blue irises forever. Eugene bends over at his friend.

"N'aawww Jackie. Ye still not over her ?" He teases.

Jack turns his head and makes a weirdo face. "I will never." He says, and he means it.

Eugene laughs. "Hahahahaa, dude you need some distraction. This woman is taking your life ! It's not healthy anymore."

"I can live with it." Jack answers while his eyes travel back to Ms. Winters. She is so freaking awesome and cute ! Dang it girl, stop being so adorable.

"Please be quiet for the next few minutes." The cute maths teacher says loudly while pointing at the whiteboard. "I want you to expand these few calculations out and use the quadratic formula for the last calculation. Furthermore, read the pages 178 till 202 and make an essay on how the fourth dimension can be perceived. I want at least 3000 words and no spelling nor grammatical mistakes. This will be your assignment for next week."

Jack bends his head over his assignment. He sighs, he has just started with his extra lessons so this should be easy. Next to him, Eugene starts to write things down very rapidly, like they're in some contest. Pffff, showoff.

"Jack, you're starting on your homework ? It's quite a lot, I have to say." His teacher informs.

Oops. "Ehm yeah in fact I wanted to get started right now actually." He blurts out and feels how his cheeks betray him.

Well, better start now or I'll never get this done.

The bell rings and crowds with people are running towards the canteen. They have a 30 minute break and in those 30 minutes they will behave like bears, stuffing food into their mouths like guinea pigs. Drinking their beverages like there's been a draught of 100 years instead of 90 minutes, stuffing more food down their throats, the males will try to attract the females by parading around with the chest forward and a red head because they are showing off how much muscle tissue they made this weekend. Then the females will laugh at it and just say mocking things to them and then walk away causing the whole male population to follow. Yeah, the breaks are the worst in college.

Hans is walking slowly out of his class room. It's empty down the hallway and he likes it that way. He sighs deeply and rubs his forehead, he just had an exhausting period of teaching. The students were still not over that snowball fight and the sad thing is, he wasn't even there ! He'd loved to see Elsa and the ''kids'' playing in the snow, it would just be so epic. He would throw snowballs at her and laugh at her cute face. In the distance, Hans suddenly sees his favorite teacher emerging from out of a stock room. He runs up to her to greet her.

"Hi Elsa !"

Elsa turns around to where the voice came from. "Oh hi Hans, how have you been doing ?"

"I have been doing very well. How bout you ?" He says while he nervously fiddles with his tie, he's still not used to talking to an angel.

They walk together towards the school canteen. "I'm doing very fine. Thanks." She says.

As they enter the canteen, the chatter is getting louder and louder. Elsa looks at Hans and they both grin, they know exactly what they are talking about. After walking around, Hans finally found a bench for them to sit on. Today it was their turn to make sure the canteen didn't become a war zone of food fights. Hans gestures at a seat for Elsa, she sits down and waits for Hans to come with the drinks. She is aware of the looks they get from the students about how two teachers are going to have lunch together and how romantic that seems but she ignores it. At least, she tries. Hans comes back with two cups of tea, he hands one over to Elsa. She closes her eyes and smells the aroma coming from her tea. "Hmmmm, I love tea."

"You do ?" He asks.

She nods, still her eyes closed. "I love tea, and coffee and hot chocolate very much. Those are my favorite beverages. What about yours?"

"Well, ehm I like coffee very much. I always drink a cup in the morning to wake up. I really like orange juice, ice tea and apfelschorle."

"Apfelschorle ? What's that ?" Elsa asks curious.

Hans laughs. "It's a drink that most people don't know. It's something only German speaking people drink, I think that's weird. Anyways, it's basically apple juice with carbonic. It's really delicious, I can get you one if you want ?" He offers.

"Ok, ehm no I'm not familiar with it but I'd love to try ! So how bout food. Do you have a favorite food or dish ?"

"Yes, I have multiple. I like spaghetti, sushi, beef and broccoli very much. But mostly I just eat rice with meat and some veggies. I'm not a fantastic cook and I don't cook that often but when I have to, I do know how. Let's say I know the basics." He jokes.

Elsa smiles. "Well, I have to admit something. I don't cook either. John, my boyfriend cooks most of our dishes. He's a great cook and the funny thing is, my sister is currently dating a culinary chef so maybe him and John could work together sometimes."

Wait, wait, wait. Did she just say she had a boyfriend ? How come that I didn't know that... Hans frowns, every time he thinks he has a catch, it turns out to be just a disappointment. "Wait, John's your boyfriend ?"

She nods politely. "Yeah."

"Owwww, so he's the guy who asked where your class room was the last time right ?"

Her eyes lit up in recognition. "Yes, he told me about you ! He said you are a very nice guy and that your choice of wardrobe is very eccentric but fashionable."

My choice of wardrobe is fashionable, is that right for a guy to say that ? Or is she saying that but covering it so I won't notice... Huuuh, well, isn't that just... great. I'll never gonna find the perfect girl for me, maybe she doesn't exist ? Trying to not show her his disappointment, Hans quickly changes of subject. "So, you have a sister ?"

"Yes, I already told you, haven't I ? But no big deal. Yes, I have a sister. Her name is Anna and she's very..." Elsa stops to search for the right words to describe her darling sister. "Let's say she's very animated and very enthusiastic ! She acts before she thinks of the consequences. We used to be in trouble all the time when we were young, mostly because she talked or made too much noise. Yeah, mum and dad had their hands full on Anna. But I still love her to death, even though I think she has ADHD. She's very likable, you'll like her. I'm sure. In fact, I want you to meet her sometime ! That would be so nice, I think you two will get along just fine."

"Really ? But she sounds lovely. I don't have sisters nor brothers. I am an only child, my parents were very poor so they couldn't afford more children I guess. It wasn't a very big deal until I reached puberty. I didn't listen to them anymore and I needed someone with whom I could complain about my parents behavior against me. I felt lonely sometimes so I went out to meet friends. I didn't have much but a handful was enough at that time. They pulled me trough this rough time and now I get along with my parents just fine." Hans tells.

"N'aaawww. That sounds so sad but luckily it ended well. Anna and I are very close but we weren't always like that. Our mother died when we were very young so her death drove us apart. I needed time alone and she just wouldn't give it so I eventually shut her out. It was easy, just closing a door and not responding to her cries. But I shut her out way too long and by the time I was ready to bond again, she was already over me. Our relationship had to start from scratch all over again. It took us quite a while to come where we are today but it was worth all the drama."

Hans sighs deeply. "Urgh the feels, the feels, right ? Family drama, it never gets old."

Elsa laughs, this man is just so humorous. "Yep, my words exactly. I really like you Hans. You're a fine man." She says as she lays her hand on his arm.

Hans feels her warmth flowing in his arm to his heart. He couldn't be more happy. It took him a long time to bond with a female but now he finally got the hang of it. Especially with Elsa, she's very easy to bond with, always open and kind towards other people. Always willing to help and never grumpy, even not to that horrible headmaster Weseltown. Oh he would have loved it for them to let their relationship blossom into love. Sadly, that's not the case. But they still can be friends right ?

"Thanks, Elsa. That's really what I needed to hear for a long time. I've had some trouble involving a woman who said I was a lying manipulative power hungry sociopath, so this is really encouraging to me."

"Well, she was wrong. Just don't listen to those kind op people, they don't know what they're talking about because they're so busy with making everybody perfect except themselves." Elsa says as she stands up. "I have to go back to the class, some preparations to make. You can manage it these last few minutes ? And if you want to hang out, just call me, I'll bring Anna too so you two can meet."

"Ok, will do." Hans waves goodbye as she walks away. He sighs. Yeah, she's something, isn't she...

OH MY GOD, what shall I wear ? I don't want to be the prettiest of the party, Elsa has to be the prettiest one. It's going to be her party ! I don't want to wear black, that's just so not cool and it makes me look like a complete psycho. Maybe this one, or this skirt with this top ? No it has to be a dress, then I'll go with this one, or this one. Shoot, I have nothing to wear !

Anna is in inner conflict with herself. Tonight is Elsa's and John's party and she wants to look at her finest. She has thrown all her clothes on her bed and some are even on the ground. She probably wore every piece of clothe she owns and didn't find anything suitable.

"Daaaaaddd." She practically screams from her room. A muffled sound can be heard as a reply back. "Daaaad, I don't know what I shall wear tonight ! Do you have any advice for me, any suggestions ?"

Mr. Winters rolls his chair into Anna's room. He notices the big amount of clothing spread on the bed and floor and Anna standing in her underwear looking all confused and her hair is messed up due to her quick clothe changes. He starts to laugh, louder and louder. Anna, on the other hand feels laughed at. She rolls her eyes, places her hands on her hips and tries to look sassy.

"That's not funny dad, at least you can just wear your tux. I have to go all crazy because it happens to be my sister's engagement party ! Not that I have problems with that, it's just that I have nothing to wear and I can't go to town to buy something new because the shops are already near closing time and I don't wanna go over to Elsa's because then she will ask what is going on and I have to explain everything to her and then she w-..."

"Anna, darling. Calm down. Just wear something nice and comfy, your sister won't mind. She'll be happy you came !" Mr. Winters soothes his daughter. Secretly he has to laugh because when she's going out of her mind, she always starts to ramble. She looks a lot like her mother.

"Daahaaaad, I can't wear the same dress twice, that's just not done !" Anna interferes him.

He laughs. "Noooo, that would be a crime !"

"Are you mocking me ?" Anna rolls her eyes. " You know dad, all women have these kind of issues. You had to see mom, she went all crazy if we had a birthday party. She would run around like some crazy sprinter to make sure everything is alright and in the end it turns out something is always missing. But her parties were great though. Yeah, I probably got that from her, because you and Elsa are always so relaxed and cool about parties. How do you do that ? I don't understand, maybe I need a training in organizing stuff, you know that would be great and..."

Anna's dad rolls his chair over to the bed. His daughter is going to continue rambling for a while, best thing to do is pick out something for her so she won't have to worry about it anymore. He hesitates a little and then picks out a very good looking dress. The bodice is brown and the skirt is green. "How about this one ? This one is really nice and it looks great on your slim figure. Why don't you try this on ?"

Anna sighs. "Daahaaad, I already wore that dress twice. I can't wear it a third time !"

"Ok, how about this one. I like it, and if you put your hear in a bun then you'll be as sophisticated as a princess."

"Okaaayyyy, I'll just wear this one. Who cares anyways. " Anna finally gives in. She turns around to change into her dress. "You know, I am definitely not going to keep this dress clean. Maybe I'll just drink water ? But it's a party, there is definitely going to be alcohol. Well whatever, no worries."

Anna appears out of her dressingroom, her father smiles. "I told you sweetheart, you look gorgeous !"

"Really ? 'Cause I don't think-..."

"Don't think, know. Don't ever doubt your dad, he knows what's best for you." Her dad interrupts.

"Ok dad, thanks." Anna says as she hugs her father. "I can't wait for tonight to come !"

"Joohhhn ? Darling, I'm hoommeeee !" Elsa calls as she opens the front door. No one is home and the room is empty and dark. Elsa narrows her eyes. Hmmm, that's strange...As she walks to the table to lay her bag on, she notices the small note left for her. Hi Sweetie, you're probably wondering why nobody is home... Just put on some fancy clothes cause tonight we have something to celebrate ! Come and meet us at Oaken's family dine & Sauna at 7:30 PM. Love ya, your nobleman John

After having read the note, Elsa raises her eyebrows. Are we celebrating something ? Is it our anniversary already ? No, that's in 3 months... Wait, where's the dog ! She looks around if she can spot Seth but he is nowhere to be found. John probably has him at dad's or something... Elsa walks to her bedroom and opens the closet doors. Oh gosh, what shall I wear ? It probably is a formal party so I have to wear something chique, maybe black ? No, that makes me look like I'm attending a funeral. Hmmmm, let's see. Maybe this skirt ? No it has to be dress. I'll go with this one, or this one ? After a few minutes of inner conflict with herself, Elsa finally makes a decision. She decides that she's going to wear a black dress, but not too black, with her hair in a neat bun. Being happy with her decision and having still an hour left, she starts with correcting the maths assignments from the extra lesson students. She starts with Jack's. He wrote his name very perfectly on the top of the paper, behind his name are some capital letters of which Elsa doesn't know the specific meaning of: YASFG. She decides that it must be something teens are into these days and ignores it. Jack's math calculations aren't bad, but they aren't that good either. But besides that, he did better on this one then he has ever done these past few months. Elsa is very content with his improvements. If he goes on like this, he most certainly will make it throughout the year.

Precisely one hour later, Elsa stands up and leaves the home. Time to go to Oaken's. The minute she arrives, a waiter opens the door for her and leads her inside. The restaurant is quiet and only a few people are dining and whispering softly to each other. The soft candle lights are making the place look comfy and cozy.

"This way ma'am." The ober in the black suit informs her. Elsa follows patiently.

Suddenly she notices the table where her family sits at.

"Elsa darling, welcome !" Her father greets her. Next to him sits Anna, Kristoff and John. Then Elsa sees Seth also joined the family and a grey dog, she doesn't know, who is sitting in the place between Anna and Kristoff. Anna is bouncing on her chair and smiles from ear to ear. Please tell me that's Kristoff's dog and not Anna's... The platinum blonde thinks as she walks up to the table. John walks up to her without saying anything, he looks at her and at what she's wearing. She is looking so beautiful.

"Ohhh Elsa. You look stunning, you know that ?" He compliments her as he stares deep into her eyes. Then he takes her hand and places a gentle kiss on her knuckles while he bows deep for his lady. Anna is screaming out in adorableness.

"AAAAAaaaawww, you two are so cute. If you continue to be this cute I'm going to melt seriously !" She says while she makes adoringly faces. Kristoff smiles at her and wraps his arms around her shoulder.

John stands up and spreads his arms as a sign to hug. "Hey girl, I'm so glad you came." He whispers while he hugs her tight. Then he leads her to her chair. Once she's seated, Elsa immediately bombards everyone with questions.

"Can someone please tell me what is going on here ?" Everybody starts to laugh softly. "Why are you all laughing at me ? What is going on ? Why are we all dressed up ? Did someone get promoted or something ?" Her eyes dart from Anna to John and from John to Kristoff and from him to her dad. They all look back at her mysteriously and grin. "You guys are so mean..." Elsa whines while burying her face in her hands, trying to figure out what her family is up to.

Then, she feels a warm hand on her shoulder. "Let us just first have dinner ok, after desert you'll know why we're here." The voice of her boyfriend soothes her.

She looks up and gives him a look, a very cute one. He chuckles.

"HHooookkkkaayyyy." She sighs and starts to scan the menu list.

Anna squeals as she spots something on the menu. "OH MY GOODNESS KRISROFF, do you know that they serve Smørbrød ! I want a portion, no make it two, or three..."

Kristoff rolls his eyes. Duuhhuuuh, of course he knows. He works here.

John watches his beautiful girl as she finally gives in. I am so lucky to have her ! I am SO lucky !

Heeyyy guyyssss, sorry about the fact that I haven't been updating for so long. It won't happen again, I promise. I just was very busy at school and stuff. But here was the next chap, as you see, we're getting really close to John's proposal ! YYYAAaaayyy, this guy is just so romantic. Soooo, please let me know what you thought or things I could improve or correct. BTW, what did you guys think of Once Upon A Time ? I thought the Frozen scenes were done great, especially Elsa. Anna seemed a bit off to me, but that's just my opinion.

Fun fact: John is the English version of Johannes, which is a Dutch name. In this AU Elsa's origin lies in Holland. John is also a chapter in the Holy Bible. And the best thing, the Danish variant of John is Hans. And Hans means God is Gracious which refers back to the Bible. I think it's ironic because Hans likes Elsa while John has Elsa.

By the way. That dish Anna mentions, Smørbrød, is an open sandwich from the Norwegian cuisine.
