Thank you guys for all the encouragement! I'm having tons of fun writing this. Seriously. Just finished chapter 5 last night. SOOO GOOD! All the Jelsa feels.
Welp, even though I conducted an intense mission, ninja gear and seduction included, I still don't own anything... mission not acomplished :(
Chapter 3: Pushed out of comfort zone
"I say, why does it feel so good? So good to be bad.
Getting what I want, boy, why does that make you so mad?"
Jack watched as Esmerelda, alone on the stage, did the dance he choreographed. She rocked her solo, combining hip-hop, some modern moves, with Broadway extensions.
"You see, why does it feel so good? So good to be bad.
Cause if it's struggle that you're looking for, oh baby, here I am."
Two other girls ran in behind her, creating a V with Esmerelda as the point, adding in and doing the routine she just did while she moved on to a new one. As the music ramped up to the drop, the rest of the crew danced on, flips and tricks flying across the stage.
"I say why does it feel so good? So good to be bad"
The dubstep hit, Jack moved, following the beat. The crew did a shuffle routine, facing different directions. Jack could feel himself getting lost in the music.
"I say why does it feel so good? So good to be bad,
Getting what I want, boy, why does that make you so mad?
The slow part hit, Jack let the moves flow through each other, then bent over as a girl rolled over his back. He hit every move to perfection.
"You see, why does it feel so good? So good to be bad.
Cause if it's struggle that you're looking for, oh baby, here I am."
He let the day go, let his worries go, and just let the music flow through his veins. He poured his heart and soul out.
"You see, why does it feel so good?"
The song ending, Jack hit his last pose. All around him in the silence after the final cord faded away, Jack could hear the rest of the crew panting, out of breath. Frozen.
Jack broke first, "Nice job guys! How did that feel?"
The crew cheered, high-fiving.
"This will work perfectly for our school performance coming up next week Wednesday. Everyone start thinking of songs we could do for the competition! See you all at Wednesday rehearsal!"
The group broke apart, everyone talking and laughing, some gathering their stuff. A few girls, led by Vanessa, sauntered up to Jack to flirt and entice him to come out with them later that night. Sometimes Jack went, but tonight Jack had other things in mind.
"Sorry girls, but I have a dance lesson tonight."
"Aww, but Jack! Come out with us after! We need a big, strong boy to protect us." Vanessa pouted, placing her hands on his arms and chest, looking up to his 6'2 height.
"Ladies, I'm sorry but I'm just not gonna be up for it after my lesson! Plus I promised the boys it was their night."
"You always say that!"
"That's because it's always true. They keep a tight rein." Jack said, winking. Truth was, he didn't enjoy spending time with the girls. Sure, they were hot, but he liked to be able to have an intelligent conversation with them. "I'll see you Wednesday!" he added, high-tailing out of there. He had about half an hour before they had to leave for the salsa lesson, and he really needed food. Saying his goodbyes, he took the stairs two at a time, making it back to the apartment in record time.

The week passed in a blur and Friday came. Elsa was making her way back to her apartment from the study session in the library. She worked on her assignments, studied for a test, and did some research for a big paper that was due at the end of the month. Never one to procrastinate, Elsa took her work seriously. Her life was eat, sleep, dance, study, repeat. She honestly never went out, that is until today. Excited and scared, Elsa climbed the stairs, apprehensive about what comes from behind the apartment door. The girls had promised to make this a night she will remember. Punzie wanted to help dress her, Anna wanted to hook her up with a guy (mostly Jack), and Merida just wanted her to have fun. She had seen Jack twice more this week; both times he had been nothing but nice. There was some playful banter, but no stalking, which was much appreciated by Elsa. This morning, he had just winked at her, saying he was excited to dance her socks off that night.
She creaked the door open.
"Yay! Elsa's home!" Anna cried. Elsa could hear the music already playing, smell the snacks and coffee. Elsa's hand was grabbed, and she was hauled through the door.
"Hold it! I need to at least go set my books down."
"Punzie is already raiding your closet! And will you do my makeup? Merida needs help to!" Anna fired at her.
"Oh goodness… Fine!" She went into her room, with Anna trailing. Merida and Rapunzel were in her extensive closet, finding her an outfit for the night.
"Oooohh! I like this!" Punzie shouts from the closet. She runs out holding a dress. It was Elsa's impulsive buy of last month. A black top, simply draping in the front, with straps that pull back into a bow and leaves a good amount of open back. It hugs her body to her hips, in which the sheer chiffon fabric flows in a high-low pattern over the simple black underlining that ends mid-thigh as a normal skirt. But Elsa's favorite part of the dress was the bottom of the skirt; after the dress flowed over her hips, it started to fade from black to a vibrant sapphire blue that matched her hair streak.
"That's a little more . . ." Elsa started.
"Don't you dare say revealing! It covers everything, the only thing even remotely suggestive is the open back, and you have an awesome back!" Anna argues.
"Put it on! Put it on!" Punzie cheered, jumping up and down. Meridia chortled at her display of excitement.
"Fine! Only if I get to choose my own shoes. I need to be able to dance in them."
"Dance with Jacccckkkkkk!" Punzie and Anna sang. Elsa rolled her eyes, stripping and putting on the dress. Luckily her bust was small enough, courtesy of dancing so much, that she did not need any extra support other than the built in bra of the dress, leaving her back open. She slipped into her closet, grabbing her favorite pair of black heeled ankle boots. Complete with buckles and ties, giving her outfit an edgier look, the boots also were comfortable to both dance and walk in.
Coming out of her closet, she looked at the other girls.
"Perfect!" Punzie shouted, jumping with enjoyment. "Now it's Merida's turn!" Punzie grabbed the girl's wrist, dragging her through the bathroom to Merida's closet. "You better do your makeup!"
"Come help me decide what to do, Anna." Elsa said, walking into her closet to the vanity.
"I know you love to wear your hair completely up, but can I do it please? I promise it will be out of your face!" Anna asked, coming to stand behind her sister and taking it out of its usual updo.
"Fine!" Elsa said, wiping her makeup off her face to start anew. Elsa watched as Anna skillfully teased the top, giving it some volume, while leaving strands out to frame her face. She then French-braided it, bringing it over her left shoulder.
"I want your streak to be visible in the front too! Do you like it? Can I hairspray it?"
"Yea, it will be fine. I do like it, it's just different."
"Yay!" Anna added hairspray. "Will you help me with my makeup once you are done?"
"Of course," Elsa answered, brushing on foundation, powder, and eyelid primer. She figured she could experiment for the night, examining her collection of eye shadows. She settled for a dark smoky eye, completed with liquid black eyeliner with a wing. She then put sapphire blue eyeliner along her lower lash line, giving the look more of a pop. Then, since the smoky eye has a tendency to make eyes seem smaller, she used her white eyeliner stick to add some to the inner corner. Finishing off the look with a couple coats of mascara and blush, she used her favorite setting spray. The whole time, Anna was chatting her ear off about the projects she had to do for class and all the cute boys in the drama department.
Finished, Elsa turned to look at what her sister was wearing. An olive green skirt, high-low style much like Elsa's dress, with an accent zipper up the middle was paired with a black corset-style shirt, showing off a bit of midriff. Elsa sat her sister down on a chair.
"Do you know what you want?" Elsa asked.
"I want you to do what you always do! Make it look awesome."
Skipping the foundation because of Anna's perfect skin and freckles, she choose to go with a sultry look. Brushing tan on the lid, olive into the crease, and black into the outer corner, Elsa finished off the look with a black eyeliner, accentuating Anna's naturally large eyes. She put some pink blush on Anna's cheeks and handed her the mascara, instructing her to use the setting spray when she was done. Elsa could hear Punzie and Merida shouting and giggling in the next room, heading to join them.
Rapunzel was wearing a bright pink dress that hugged past her hips a little ways, flaring out in a curve like the traditional salsa dresses. The typical A-line top accentuated her assets and showed off her long neck. Elsa went up to her, fixing a miniscule mistake in Rapunzel's eyeliner.
"You look stunning!" Elsa complimented.
"Thanks! Now help me convince Merida to wear this!"
Elsa looked at the ensemble in Rapunzel's hand, shaking her head. Punzie always managed to find the best thing for each girl to wear. The dress in her hand was a dark blue, modest yet cute. It had a lace top, with sleeves that would go to Merida's elbow, which was tight to the torso and would flair out at the waist. The whole dress had the blue lace over the regular cloth, with the shoulders open to skin.
"Merida, that dress is amazing! I didn't know you even owned it!"
"It was a birthday gift from my mom. Part of the reason why I don't want to wear it."
"But it is super cute! She really knows how to shop for you." Elsa encouraged. "Plus Hiccup will find it cute…" Elsa winked, while Punzie laughed.
"I don't like him!" Merida stomped. She took the dress out of Rapunzel's hand, grumbling under her breath while she changed into it. Elsa and Punzie giggled at her reaction.
"She only put that on because you said Hiccup would like it," Punzie whispered to Elsa.
"I heard that!"
Both girls erupted into giggles, just as Anna walked into Merida's room.
"What did I miss?"
"Just teasing Merida about Hiccup." Rapunzel sang.
"Without me? Really?" Anna fake-pouted.
Elsa glanced at Merida's clock, "We have ten minutes before we have to go! Come on girls!"
She grabbed a newly clothed Merida by the arm, dragging her into her "makeup lair," brushing on some dark blue eyeliner to match her dress. In a flurry of perfume, hairspray, and last minute powder, the girls had their purses and coats and were out of their apartment within the ten minutes, excitedly chattering all the while on their way to Merida's car.
Elsa, a little nervous and still apprehensive, tried to be excited for her friends and sister. She was secretly excited about the new style of dance and had been looking up various salsa steps on youtube, secretly practicing in her room. She had the basics down. Luckily, she knew that as the girl, she would just have to follow the guy's lead. Elsa smirked to herself, hoping Jack did his homework so he could "show her up" like he had promised. She looked out the window, watching as they pulled up to José's, her tummy doing flips. Elsa took a deep breath, pulling up her façade of confidence. The girls piled out, giggling and chattering. The walked into the studio, the lights already dim and the music loud.
Flynn, who was talking to an older man, spotted them as soon as they walked in. "Come on ladies! Lucky for you, I know the owner and scored a VIP section for us. That is, if you wanna join us," he said, winking, and greeting each girl with a kiss on the back of the hand.
"We will weight our other options and consider it," Rapunzel sasses back.
"You won't get any better options than me, Blondie" Flynn said, smirking and raising an eyebrow. He grabbed her wrist, knowing the other girls would follow. "Come on!"
The girls followed him through the studio, around the dance floor. Elsa looked with wonder at the couples danced. They were stunning. It seemed completely choreographed and perfect. She watched the moves, recognizing what she knew and watching how they fit other passes in between the basic step.
Jack watched across the studio. Elsa was stunning. He saw how she watched the dancers with awe, excitement in her eyes. Luckily, after a couple lessons that week, he could do that for her. He tore his eyes off her, seeing that quite a few of the guys in the studio were watch her move across the room. He glared at them. Looking back at Elsa, he made eye contact, smiling at her amazed and excited face.
Kristoff nudged him, "dude, stop staring! You look like a lovesick puppy!"
Jack dropped his head, "Oops."
Across the room, Elsa giggled as Jack stared at her, and then got nudged out of it by Kristoff. She was gonna have some fun tonight!
The girls and Flynn arrived at the large booth that was a couple of steps elevated above the floor, creating a more secluded space. The boys rose, Kristoff and Hiccup giving Merida a hug and exchanging greetings with the others.
Elsa found Jack right behind her, leaning over her shoulder, his breath tickling her ear, "May I take your coat?"
Elsa raised an eyebrow, slipping it off with the help of Jack, "What a gentleman."
"I try sometimes."
"Yea, when you aren't busy stalking."
"Hey now, that doesn't take up too much of my time! I can be a gentleman too. And manage to learn salsa as well." He winked at her. "You look stunning"
Elsa took in his black skinny jeans and grey button down, his hair perfectly messed, "You don't look half bad yourself."
Hiccup came up, interrupting the playful banter, giving Elsa a hug. The girls' jackets now all hung on hooks over the table, and their purses hidden in a back corner, just as the previous song ended.
"Blondie, you up for a little dancing?" Flynn asked, holding out his hand.
"Only if your ego has room for another on the dance floor," Rapunzel retorted, but still allowed herself to be dragged out.
Jack held out his hand, "Ready for me to rock your socks off?"
Elsa giggled, hiding her mouth with her hand, then set it in Jack's. "I'd prefer if they stayed on my feet, thank you. But yes, I will dance with you."
Elsa felt a shutter run up her arm at Jack's touch, thrilled as he led her to the dance floor.
HA! No dancing yet... You will have to wait til next chapter! Guys, it's so good :D Like so good. Sexy and beautiful. And all the drama starts next chapter!
So in chapter 5, I realized how freaking hard it is to write dance moves, because there are so many moves to one line! I'm going to keep going like I've been doing by mentioning a few moves, talking about feelings and such, but if there is a youtube video I have in mind of the legit dance, I will mention it at the end that you may watch it at your leisure to get the full effect. Yup!
Okay guys, I have a delima. This story really wants to be written in either Jack's or Elsa's perspective. So not really from the other guys. You will find out what happens to them, but more from Jack's or Elsa's point of view... Any protests? I will probably throw in a "bonus" chapter from the other guys perspective eventually. I have a really awesome Mericupp moment planned :D So I dunno, I'll take opinions.
Thanks for following, favoriting, and reviewing! I love and appreciate every one of you :D Please continue!
