Elsa's mouth opened wide to release a heavy yawn. She covered it with a hand while she held her binder close to her side with the other. Her head hurt, she had bags under her eyes, and the weirdest thing was she was starting to feel cold. Elsa almost never felt cold. She walked towards an empty seat next to a young women around her age. She had short brown hair in a pixie cut and was currently doodling in her notebook. Another yawn escaped as Elsa sat down.

"Long night?" The girl asked, not bothering to look up from her elaborate design of a sun.

Elsa nodded with a tired hum. "You could say that." She answered hoarsely.

Her friend dropped her pen to cease her drawing and turned to look at her. Her mouth opened in surprise. "Elsa, you look awful!"

"Thank you, Rapunzel. That makes me feel so much better." Elsa drawled in reply.

Elsa and her met their freshman year when both were sorted into the same orientation group; the girls were often paired during group activities. Elsa at first remained distant, making friends not exactly one of her top priorities, but Rapunzel slowly started to ebb her way in as Elsa saw Anna in her more and more each day: bubbly, optimistic, and full of energy. Not too long after, Rapunzel became her first and only college friend. They often had lunch together and hung out on the rare occasions Elsa had free-time. The girls soon became each other's confidants, Elsa for her strained relationship with her little sister, and Rapunzel for her, at times, obnoxious boyfriend Eugene. Rapunzel was ecstatic for her when she heard her and her sister had made amends and were now living together.

Rapunzel smiled sheepishly. "Sorry," She looked Elsa over with a frown. "But seriously, you shouldn't be here, not looking like that."

"We get our tests back today." Elsa stated determinedly.

"That's why you dragged yourself here?" Rapunzel questioned with disbelief. "Honestly Elsa, I could've just brought it to you."

Elsa scoffed lightly. "Like Professor Weaselton would allow that."

Rapunzel giggled at the inside joke.

Both girls signed up for the class together, agreeing to rely on each other for help. Rapunzel knew her friend had trouble with science and offered to assist her, needing the requirement for her major as well.

The first day of class both came to the conclusion they were not fond of their professor. Along the way they developed their own name for him, calling him Weaselton after he flipped out when an exchange student mispronounced his name. Eventually it spread throughout the class and soon everyone was calling him it behind his back.

Elsa tried her best to give an encouraging smile. "I'm fine, really. I took some medicine before coming, it just hasn't kicked in yet."

Rapunzel eyed her unconvinced. When Elsa refused to admit how tired she really was she backed down. "Fine, but after class you're going home. Even if I have to drag you there myself."

Elsa scoffed goodheartedly. "Deal."

"You didn't have to walk me home."

The two walked along at a steady pace. Rapunzel's eyes were on her phone as she sent a quick text message to Eugene. Elsa's messenger bag hung across her chest and bounced along with her strides. Rapunzel pressed send and then addressed the girl next to her.

"Of course I did. What kind of friend would I be if I let you walk home alone and then you fell from fainting?"

Elsa gently rolled her eyes. "I'm not that sick."

"So you admit you're sick." Elsa looked over to see the brunette with a cheeky grin.

She sighed. "I guess. I think it's just the common cold." She replied using the heel of her palm to rub her right eye.

The two continued on their way to the sisters' apartment and relaxed into a comfortable silence. While Rapunzel had many traits that reminded Elsa of her little sister, one thing they didn't have in common was Rapunzel appreciated quietness at times and Elsa was grateful for it.

A tiny ping rang through the stillness and Rapunzel quickly read her new message. "Eugene says feel better."

"Tell him thanks." Elsa acknowledged. Rapunzel sent a quick reply and tucked her phone away with a small smile. Elsa knew that smile. "Plans tonight?"

The young woman nodded. "He wants to take me out to dinner."

"Good for you. You two haven't been out in awhile."

"No thanks to Weaselton." Rapunzel answered with sourness.

Elsa nodded in agreement, lately her midnight sessions were for her Biology class or another class that had to wait until she finished work for Biology class. Her list now extended to hating frogs, any amphibian, and plants. Just one more month and May would come, and with it graduation. She could do this.

Elsa was so lost in thought that she didn't notice someone walking forwards on the same path or hear Rapunzel's warning.

Her head collided with someone's chest and she stumbled backwards. Rapunzel's hand flew to the small of her back to steady her. Elsa massaged her already throbbing head. She managed to slur out an apology.

"I'm so sorry." She groaned.

"Miss Anderson?"

Elsa shot her head up, too fast she realized, and let out a moan as she placed her hand back where it once was. Just as she thought. "Dr. Jensen?"

The gentleman stood in front of her, his hands tucked in his pockets. He wore a simple pair of khakis with a white polo, a light blue sweater vest over it. His eyes were looking down at her with concern, his glasses sliding down his nose; he was a good head taller than her.

Rapunzel stared between the two. "You guys know each other?"

Elsa let her hand fall and gestured to the man. "Rapunzel, Dr. Jensen. He was the one who helped me with our first test."

Dr. Jensen smiled and held out his hand. "Please, call me Gregor. Dr. Jensen is more for the office. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Rapunzel returned the gesture. "Likewise. So you're the veterinarian, Elsa told me about how you helped her out. Did you really have Professor Weselton too?"

He closed his hazel eyes and nodded with an awkward laugh. "Unfortunately so. How is he? Still old?"

"Old and grouchy."

"Sounds about right."

Both shared a laugh. His eyes went back to Elsa and looked her over. She opened her mouth to ask what he was staring at when he answered for her. "Not to mean any offense Miss Anderson, but you look awful."

Elsa snorted. "So I've been told."

Gregor backtracked quickly. He reached up and started to scratch his mop of brown hair. "I-I didn't mean...I'm sorry, th-that came out wrong."

Elsa waved it off and then brought her hand back to cover a cough. "It's fine. I know, I look grotesque."

"Now, I didn't say that."

Elsa smiled gratefully. Rapunzel grabbed her elbow and started to lead her forwards. "I hate to seem rude, but I have to get the patient back to her house."

Gregor chuckled lightly. "Of course, I understand completely. Take care Miss Anderson, nice meeting you Miss Rapunzel." He rubbed the back of his head and returned his gaze to Elsa. "And sorry...again."

Elsa managed a nod and small smile. She waved goodbye and then let Rapunzel drag her back home. She figured Rapunzel was just exaggerating back in class, guess not.

Anna was still in class so Rapunzel appointed herself Elsa's caretaker until she got back. Elsa insisted it wasn't necessary, but she eventually gave in due to being too exhausted to argue. Rapunzel was in the kitchen making chicken noodle soup while she was sprawled out on the couch. On her lap was a curled up Olaf.

"Is he always so polite?"

"Hmmm?" Elsa was trying to read a book, but her eyes kept drooping.

"Gregor. Is he always that polite?" Rapunzel repeated.

Elsa gave up on the book and threw it to the side. "Uhhh, yeah, I guess. As far as I'm concerned."

"Huh."

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just...it seems like a facade."

Elsa placed her arm across her eyes and sunk further down into the couch. Olaf stirred slightly to reposition himself. "Oh? How so?"

"I'm not saying I think he's secretly a jerk or anything like that," The brunette rectified. "I just have this feeling there's more to his personality."

Elsa yawned. "Of course there is. No one ever lets their full personality show when they meet someone for the first time."

"I don't know, this just feels different somehow."

Elsa peeked from under her arm. "You got all this from one conversation with him?"

Rapunzel shrugged. "What can I say? It's a feeling."

"To each their own." Elsa wrapped herself up tight. She turned so she was on her side, sending poor Olaf toppling. She caught him as he slid down and pulled him close to cuddle with him. "I'm going to try and get some sleep."

She closed her eyes with the hope sleep would come to her. Within seconds she was out like a light.

Anna came home to the smell of soup and Rapunzel sitting in the armchair with the TV softly going on in the background. She looked around and landed on her sister's sleeping form, snuggling with their kitten. Rapunzel got up and walked over, quietly explaining what happened. Anna nodded in understanding and then a let a sigh escape.

"I told her staying up so late wasn't gonna end well." She whispered.

Rapunzel shrugged her shoulders. "You know Elsa. Anyways, I made some soup for her and I suggest she eats it as soon as she wakes up."

Anna nodded. "Got it. Thanks so much, Rapunzel."

"No problem. Someone has to keep an eye on her when she gets like this. Looks like it's us."

Anna laughed. "Looks like. Good seeing you." The girls bid farewell with a hug and then Rapunzel was off.

The door shut and Anna started to hang up her coat. She placed her backpack next to Elsa's satchel and took off her shoes. Elsa stirred and started to roll over. She forgot she wasn't in her bed and fell off the couch, taking a startled feline with her. Olaf shook himself off and ran over to Anna. She scooped him up and dashed over to her sister.

"Elsa! You okay?"

A muffled groan came from Elsa before she situated herself. She sat with her back leaning against the couch and stretched her back and arms. She started to laugh.

"Well, I'm awake now." She joked.

Anna laughed along. "Yep. I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Elsa shook her head. "How do you feel?"

She rubbed her eyes and then massaged her face to wake herself up more. "Better. I still have a little bit of a headache."

Anna plopped Olaf back into Elsa's lap and walked over to the medicine cabinet. She grabbed some Advil and then filled a glass of water. Elsa moved herself from the floor back onto the couch. Anna handed the pills and water over to her.

"Thank you." Elsa popped in the medicine and then swallowed it down with a gulp of water. Her stomach rumbled loudly.

Anna's eyes widened some. "Did you eat today?"

Elsa shook her head. "I was running late for class. Why, what time is it?"

"1:00."

"Oh."

The redhead headed for the kitchen. The soup Rapunzel made was still in the pot, a little cold but nothing a microwave couldn't fix. She used the ladle to scoop some in a bowl and then stuck it in the microwave. A couple of seconds later, piping hot soup was placed in Elsa's hands with a spoon. Olaf's head tilted up and his little nose began to twitch. She sipped at the broth leisurely.

"Wow, Rapunzel makes really good soup. I take it she went home?"

"Yeah, she left when I got back. She told me what happened. I warned you, Elsa."

"I know, I know. I'll work on it." Anna stared her down. "I promise!"

"Good."

Anna disappeared into Elsa's room. The sound of a few of drawers opening and closing could be heard. She stared confused until flying clothing blocked her vision. Anna had thrown her sweatpants and an old t-shirt right on her face. "Anna, what are yo-?"

"Shush. Change."

"But wh-?"

"Just do it. The only way you're getting over this cold is resting, and you're not resting in tight jeans and a bra."

Elsa placed the soup down and grabbed the pants from her head. "You honestly believe I will get better faster based on what clothes I wear?"

"Are you comfy?"

"W-Well, not exactly." Anna smirked triumphantly. Elsa scoffed and got off the couch, disturbing the poor feline's nap yet again. "Okay fine, I'll change."

Anna was secretly enjoying this. Elsa wasn't exactly one for following orders given to her without an argument. She knew the only reason her older sister was giving in so easily was because she was sick. She figured it was also the reason Elsa allowed Rapunzel to cook for her.

For so long Elsa got used to being able to take care of herself that when Anna reentered her life she forgot what help felt like. The first few weeks she took it as pity and pushed her away, but Anna was determined and showed her that she wanted to help, and not because she felt like she had to.

Elsa came out dressed down, sweatpants and a t-shirt with her hair styled in a loose ponytail.

Anna beamed. "Better?"

"Better." Elsa confirmed. She reclaimed her spot on the couch, sat criss-crossed, and finished up her soup.

Anna ran over to their DVDs and started scanning the titles. "What are you in the mood for? Comedy? Horror?"

"Definitely not horror," The blonde objected with the bowl at her lips. "I'm sick enough, I don't need to see blood and gore."

"Fair enough." Anna plucked one of the cases from the shelf. "How about romance?"

"Make it a romantic comedy and you've got yourself a deal."

"That narrows it down." Anna responded sarcastically with a giggle. "It's not like three-thirds of our collection is that or anything." She all of a sudden got really excited. "Oh, I got it. Bullock or Bynes?"

"Uhhh, Bullock."

"The Proposal it is!"

Anna found the case and retrieved the disc. She popped it into the player and threw the remote towards an unsuspecting Elsa. Thankfully she didn't have the bowl in her hands and caught it before poor Olaf would have another reason to move. She sent a tiny glare towards Anna who ignored it as she skipped to the kitchen. The sound of something being unwrapped could be heard followed by the opening of the microwave. The smell of popcorn soon filled the living room. Three minutes later Anna was pouring it into a bowl and turned off all the lights, finally plopping down with Olaf sandwiched between the sisters.

Elsa smirked. "Are we finally ready?"

"Ready!" Anna happily shouted.

Elsa laughed and pressed play, her hand reaching into the bowl as the opening scene began.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello all! So this coming Friday will finally be the start of spring break! I'm so excited because this will be the first time I get to go to Anime Boston! I've been to Conneticon twice and I'm looking forward to a new convention!

So I noticed a small error in my last chapter. Kristoff and Anna got together in February and I had Anna say they have been dating for four months. That would make it June, a month neither of the girls would be in school; so I rectified it. Speaking of months, this little chapter takes place mid-April. Elsa is starting to get pre-graduation jitters and of course overworks herself (not that Biology is helping matters).

As always, PLEASE REVIEW! :D
