As Anna rode home on the bus, having a grand time talking to Hans, Elsa was walking to her new after school job at the local ice cream shop, Wandering Oaken's Ice Cream Shop and Bakery. She was going to work as the ice cream scooper. Or at least she thought so. As Elsa walked up to Oaken's, she noticed there was another guy there that she had seen around school. He was a loner that always wore a reindeer hat. She didn't know him very well, but he seemed nice. Elsa and the boy looked at each other, then at Oaken. He said,"Now, you both will be working the ice cream shop while Snow works the Bakery. You will be working together a lot of the time, so don't argue. Elsa, you start at the cash register, and Kristoff, you start scooping. We open in five minutes. Go! Go! Go!" Oaken went over to instruct Snow, while Elsa and Kristoff looked at each other.
Finally Elsa said,"Hello, my name's Elsa"
"I'm Kristoff." Kristoff said rather gruffly.
"I've seen you around school, I think. Are you in my grade?"
"No, I'm in 6th, but I'm kind of a loner. With Sven, of course." He gestured to his hat."
"You...call your hat Sven?"
"Yeah. I've had him ever since i was a baby. He's my best friend. Since I...don't really have any friends." Kristoff looked away dejectedly.
Elsa felt a bit sorry for him, but before she could say anything, Oaken shouted over at them,"Opening up shop now! Get into place!" As the customers came in, Elsa and Kristoff rushed to do their separate jobs, barely having any time to talk to each other. Eventually, the river of customers slowed to a trickle, and Elsa was able to ask,"So why don't you have any friends?"
Kristoff replied,"Well, people think I'm kinda weird, cause of my hat."
"It's a very nice hat."
"Heh. Thanks."
They continued working until Oaken called for them to stop. "Day over! Shop is closed! You can go home now!" Elsa grabbed her stuff and waited outside for her mom to pick her up.
Kristoff walked past her, stopped, and turned back."Your ok, you know that?"
Elsa laughed a bit, then held out her fist for a fist bump."Ice bros?"
"Ice bros." Kristoff bumped her fist, then started walking home.
...
Elsa looked around as she entered their house. There was no telling where Anna could be. She took a lot of opportunities to scare Elsa when they were in the house alone. Their parents were not there a lot of the time, as they both worked full time jobs. Elsa would have to start bicycling home soon. Anna jumped out from behind the couch, shouting "Surprise!", and startling Elsa out of her thoughts.
"Anna! You scared me!" Elsa gasped."So, how was your first day of school? Did you find any friends? Who did you sit with at lunch?"
"Well, it was good. My teachers are ok, I did meet a boy in the hallway, and I sat with some nice girls at lunch."
"Oh, who did you meet?"
"Some boy named Hank Winterfarg, I think. In the hallway, I was gonna fall, but he caught me! I'm pretty sure he's in my grade. He seemed really nice!" Anna looked at her sister, expecting her to be smiling, but instead, Elsa was frowning.
"Do you mean Hans Westergard? Anna, Hans is bad news. He may seem nice, but I'm sure he's not."
"Well do you know him?"
"...No, but..."
"Well then you shouldn't be one to talk." Anna huffed a bit, then crossed her arms and looked away, biting her lip. Elsa sighed. It had been a long day for both of them."Never mind. Just... Be careful around Hans."
"Fine." Anna huffed."I'm gonna go to my room." She stomped up the stairs and slammed the door. Elsa sighed again. She and Anna didn't argue very often. She could only hope this would blow over by morning.
