Elsa took deep breaths and held her head up like a true queen. She stood next to Meg and Jasmine on the stage, the bright lights blinding her. Squinting out into the audience, she saw Jack, who gave her a small smile and a thumbs up. She gave him a polite nod in return. After all, she was almost queen, and queens must be polite and proper at all times.
"I just want to say, thank you so much for letting me be your MC tonight. You guys are amazing," a short Asian boy named Mushu spoke out.
"Enough stalling, get to the winners!" Someone in the audience spoke out.
"Alright, alright." Mushu hushed the crowd. "Drumroll please."

Anna sat in her bed, ugly, fat tears running down her cheeks. He prefect night had ended in disaster. Her and Hans were supposed to have epic romance, and now she ended the night all alone and heartbroken. She rethought the situation a little bit. Maybe Hans was right. It was just sex...
No. Anna shook her head. She would not be his pleasure. She still cared for Hans, of course, but she needed a man to respect her.
Maybe it was the punch talking...
Anna shook that thought. He didn't have that much to drink, she's sure.
And everyone does hook up at formals...
Well Anna didn't. They had only been dating a few weeks! It was defiantly not time for that yet.
Anna wiped her eyes, feeling stupid for arguing with herself. She didn't want Hans to be mad at her. She laughed and tried cleaning up the melting makeup that Elsa had worked so hard on.
Elsa.
The Homecoming Court!
Anna panicked and quickly got herself presentable. She checked the clock on the wall near the door. 5 minutes until she would be crowned. Anna cursed herself forgetting and rushed out of the door, blowing little pieces of hair from her forehead.
She rushed back into the large doorway just as the M.C. for the night (some Chinese kid Anna didn't know the name of; but he was funny so she wasn't complaining) was calling up the princes and princesses. She waved frantically to her friend, but Elsa stared straight ahead very professionally.
"Our Homecoming King is..."Mushu anticipated while the drummer rolled the instrument. "Hans Of The Southern Isles!"
Applause roared through the ballroom as Hans stood smiling, gratefully lowering his head for the crown to be place regally. He bowed. Anna sighed. He looked even more amazing with the beautiful gold crown resting on top his head, making his beautiful eyes sparkle.
"And what everyone really is interested in; Homecoming Queen!" Mushu said to the boisterous crowd. He opened the white envelope's gold seal and looked at it surprisingly. "Well, this is new! Our Homecoming Queen you've elected is not one of our candidates!"
Anna saw Elsa eyes drop with disappointment, but her stern gaze not absent. Anna felt even sadder. Elsa had worked so hard for this, and for nothing.
"Our 2014 Homecoming Queen is..." Anna held her breath. "Anna of Arendelle!"
X~X~X
Time seemed to freeze when Anna heard her name being spoken out. Her eyes widened when the bright spotlight fell on her, and she shielded her eyes. People around began pushing her until she got up to the stage. Walking up the steps, she tried to avoid Elsa's gaze. She knew Elsa was close to tears.
She seemed in a trance when the tiara was placed on her head and was told to curtsy. Hans grabbed her hand and together they bowed, the audience's vociferous cheers ringing through the hall.
"congratulations, Queen Anna," Hans whispered in her ear.
Anna only looked panicked, glancing around the rom at the smiling and cheering teens. She looked back towards Elsa, who looked at her with tears running down her cheeks, running out the side door.
"Elsa!" Anna began running towards the door. "Wait!"
"Anna!" Hans pulled her back. "The King and Queen are required one dance," he held out his gloved hand.
"This I more important than a stupid dance," Anna said, rejecting his hand and running after her friend.
"Elsa! Elsa! Wait!" Anna ran after the glimpse of ice blue running through the garden. "Please! Talk to me!"
They reached a corner of the nursery with a bed of flowers encasing them. Elsa sat on a cold stone bench. "Why should I? You stole my crown."
"Is this really about a stupid high school homecoming?" Anna asked skeptically, sitting next to her devastated friend.
Elsa sat quietly for a moment before responding. "When I came here in the third grade, I didn't really have many friends. I was shy, and lonely, and afraid. Kristoff was just like me, and we became friends. Really good friends, actually. Sven came along two years later, and we were the three musketeers," Elsa chuckle drooped. "But we got teased. A lot. Around seventh grade, I became almost obsessed with the getting into the popular crowd. Or at least something better than all the bullying I was get hanging out with Kristoff and Sven.
"So one day, a bunch of popular cheerleaders came up to me, and were actually decent to me. They told me I could be apart of their clique, but there was a catch. I had to completely abandon Kristoff and Sven. So, being the immature, naïve girl I was, I did. I completely stopped talking to them." Elsa choked back a sob, looking out into the trees. "I didn't even say goodbye, or..or..anything. The last thing I said to them was to never talk to me again."
Anna rubbed her arm comfortingly. "I felt absolutely horrible, but my heinous obsession with popularity got the best of, and I became a total bitch. I did end up hanging with some really cool people, don't get me wrong, but I wish I could go back. I'm never myself anymore."
"That's ok, you can just be friends with them again!" Anna said, smiling.
"Reputations are like vases, Anna. Extreme fragile. If the get broken, you can do everything to fix and glue it back to what was it was before, but it will never be the same as what you started with. That's why I wanted to win Homecoming Queen so badly. I wanted everyone to complete forget abut the old me. I wanted to be the girl everyone wanted to be; everyone looked up to," Elsa looked over at Anna, tears brimming her beautiful blue eyes.
Anna bite her lip, trying for a good, helpful response. "I agree with you to Kristoff and Sven was wrong. However, because the both are good guys, I'm pretty sure they'll forgive you. And why can't we all be friends? You have me, Jack, Rapunzel, Flynn, and Hans who love you for who you are. You don't have to wear a mask anymore. With true friends, you can do anything."
Elsa turned and gave Anna a tight embrace. "Thank you," Elsa whispered, sending vibrations down the other girl's shoulder. Anna just smiled and patted her back in return.
"Elsa!" The two girls broke their hug when they heard Jack's voice echoing through the plants.
"I better go. I still owe Hans a dance," Anna smiled and walked passed Jack.
Strolling back into the dance, she looked around for Hans, standing on her tiptoes. "Excuse me?" she asked a Indian girl named Pocahontas. "Do you know where Hans is?"
"I think I saw him by the restrooms," John, her date, answered.
"Thank you!" Anna clad out, making her way quickly towards that direction. She smiled optimistically. Maybe Hans wanted ot apologze, and they could go back to their fabulous, perfect relationship. But when she turned the hallway, her thoughts went everywhere but happiness.
There, standing against the wall, was Hans and Meg, tightly locked together in a kiss. Hands roamed haphazardly and they kiss was escalating quickly.
Anna let silent tears fall down her cheeks, standing frozen on the spot, looking heartbrokenly at the pair. How could Hans do this to her? She was always faithful, always sweet, and tried her best to keep him happy. She guessed she wasn't good enough.
However, her sadness and disappointment soon turned into anger and rage. She stormed over to the lip-locked pair and tore their hands off each other. Looking over at Hans, she didn't hesitate to wind up her arm and slap in square in the cheek, leaving a nasty red handprint on the soft skin.
"How could you?" Anna asked, as Hans held his cheek, groaning in pain.
"I thought you said you two broke up!" Meg screeched at Hans.
Both girls looked over at their lover for an explanation. "Anna, I'm so sorry, it was a mistake!"
"A mistake?" Meg asked, pursing her lip in irritation.
"No, Meg you're amazing. I mean, Anna," Hans blubbered, not knowing what words to say. He never thought he would get caught in the act. He stood back straight up, reaching out for Anna.
"Save it, Hans. We're done, you worthless, filthy pig." Anna began to walk away, then turned around and landed another blow to his face.

Anna ran through the woodland path, losing her shoes in the process. She finally let herself cry, the water quickly brushing off her cheeks from the wind. She picked up her dress, the bottom tool already caked with mud and dirt.
She finally found a secluded area, the moon illuminating the dark sky and sitting on a stout tree stump. She placed her head in her hands and her elbows her knees. She sobbed quietly to herself, wallowing in self pity.
"Anna?" a voice called out, sticks cracking under the weight.
"Kristoff?" Anna sniffled, looking behind her. Once seeing the stature of the blonde boy, she ran clumsily over to him, clasping onto him like her life depended on it.
"Whoa," Kristoff stumbled at the extra weight. "Are you ok?" he asked, holding up the shivering girl. "Where's your jacket?"
"I-I don't have one," Anna gulped, looking up him with her irresistible puppy dog eyes. "I'm sorry that was inappropriate." She apologized, stepping away from the tempting warmth of Kristoff.
"N-no," Kristoff cleared his throat, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "It's ok. What happened to Homecoming?"
Anna plopped down on the stump. "It's a long story," she chuckled nervously, her hand placing a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I have time."
Anna looked over at her companion, sitting next to her. She took a deep breath and began her story. Through the tale, they sat closer and closer than they ever had before, their thighs and shoulders touching, sending electricity through both of their veins. Kristoff listened intently, murmuring and stayin quiet at the appropriate times.
"And then I ran here." Anna shrugged her shoulders after finishing her anecdote.
"What a dick," Kristoff stated bluntly, making Anna giggle. Ever since Kristoff had been by her side, her tears had dried and her mood lightened.
"Wanna know a secret?" Anna said. Kristoff looked over at her, his warm brown eyes full of care, making Anna want to cry. "I never really liked Hans anyway. I guess I was a little obsessed with wanting a boyfriend."
"Remember at the library, when we talked about our crushes?"
"Yeah?"
"And I told you I'd introduce you to her someday?" Kristoff took a deep breath, feeling brave.
"You actually pinky promised," Anna corrected, making Kristoff laugh.
"Well, I think it's time you two meet."
"What?" Anna questioned. "Where is she?"
"Right here." Kristoff leaned closer to her Anna and quickly capture his lips with hers.
