I'm sorry for the wait. It was the last week of school for the quarter, so I was in a rush to get all my grades better. I took the first couple days of spring break off, but here I am. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I always look forward to reading and responding to reviews! (If I missed you, I'm so sorry 3) I'm always looking for ways to get better at writing.
UPDATE: French is hard...
*Riiing* The school dismissal bell sounded off. It was finally Friday. The night where everyone went to parties, got drunk, then pass out. This, however, was not the case for a certain pair of girls. After exchanging books in her locker, Elsa felt a warm hand grasp her shoulder. She began to smile, knowing who the hand belonged to. Elsa turned around was greeted by Anna, wearing her favorite band shirt. It was a completely black shirt except for a white "RA" on the left front pocket. Elsa loved when Anna wore this. For some reason, it gave the impression that they were comfortable with each other. Whether or not this was just in Elsa's head, she didn't care. After days worth of anticipation, the time has finally arrived.
As they were walking through the crowded foyer of the school, the redhead stopped. Elsa turned to her, confused. "Wait." Anna commanded as she started to climb a table set aside for selling school merchandise. "Elsa, I am determined to give you the best date of your life, even if it kills me!" Elsa began to blush as everyone began to stare at the fearless Anna on the table. "Tonight will be the best night of your life. This I swear!" the redhead finished. Elsa just stood there, still red, giggling into her hand. There were mixed sounds from the listening crowd. Some awed and were touched by the little announcement. Some were indifferent. It didn't matter. Elsa was just happy to be with a cute girl on Friday night.
They finally approached Anna's car. Elsa had always admired the sedan. It was a 2011 Nissan Altima, silver covering every piece of the vehicle. Despite a couple years of use, it still gleamed as if it was brand new. Elsa was just about to open the trunk, wanting to leave her backpack there. Anna sprinted over to her, slamming the trunk shut before Elsa could even see an inch of the interior. "No!" Anna scolded, finger pointing at the confused blonde. "This (she rubbed the trunk) is a surprise!" The confused look washed off Elsa's face. In it's place was a smile. "She really has something special in mind! Je ne peux pas attendre!" The French girl thought.
Elsa ended up tossing her backpack in the back section of seats. She relaxed herself in the front passenger seat, clicking her seat belt. Anna hopped in after her, pressing the ignition button, a feature the redhead enjoyed. No more keys. "So where are we off to?" Elsa asked with excitement in her tone.
"Well, Elsa. The first place on our agenda is…. the aquarium!" Anna replied. Elsa's smile only grew, now a sparkle in her eyes. Anna mentally patted herself in the back. She planned that night day in and day out. Every place they were going to visit had a connection with Elsa. The blonde had been talking about wanting to see an American aquarium. She loved the variety of different fish. She especially loved dolphins.
They arrived at the city aquarium. Fortunately, not many people were there. This gave the girls a more private occasion. When coming in through the front door, Elsa sprinted to the first tank of water she laid eyes on. Anna giggled, trying to contain the French girl and pay admissions. Elsa's eyes were painted with awe as they strolled through massive tanks of water, each housing different types of aquatic life. They reached a "pet the stingray" exhibit. Elsa, hesitated and tried to nonchalantly walk behind Anna. The redhead only laughed and said, "Here, watch this." Anna guided Elsa's hand as they both reached in the shallow, open tank to pet the stingray. Before, Elsa's hand nervously shook, not wanting to be apart of it. However, the warmth of Anna's palm against the back of her hand made the uneasy feelings go away. Elsa began to blush. Anna attempted to pretend she didn't notice the red French girl's face, but couldn't hold back the bright smile on her face.
They continued through the aquarium, getting less crowded as they ventured deeper in the exhibits. Elsa stopped at a large, empty tank with confusion on her face. "Where's the fish?" she asked. Anna only stared at the tank, looking for any signs of life. Almost out of nowhere, a 15 foot whale shark rushed past the glass barrier. Almost without thinking, Elsa stumbled back to Anna, intertwined their hands, and hid her face on the redhead's torso. Anna, surprised at the quick, intimate reaction, brushed the blonde hair of the beautiful girl resting on her. "It's alright, it's alright." Anna giggled. After her spike of adrenaline receded, Elsa saw what she had done. Becoming even more red than before (a feat Anna thought impossible) Elsa released Anna's hand. "Je suis tellement désolée! I-I'm so sorry. I sh-shouldn't have- the big f-f-f-fish." the blonde tried to say. Her stuttering only fed into Anna's smile. She held out her hand. "No, trust me." She said with gentle words. "It's alright." Elsa sighed in relief, thankful that she didn't make the situation awkward. She accepted Anna's hand, once again wrapping their fingers together. The pair were just about to make their way to the exit when Anna stopped them. "Wait here!" Anna commanded, excitedly. The redhead disappeared into the gift shop. Not two minutes later, the girl returned, hands behind her back. "Alright, Miss Elsa, I'm giving you this. Be brave!" Anna said maliciously. As she revealed the mysterious object, Elsa only laughed to see the stuffed whale shark. "Why thank you, Miss Anna. I will use this to become stronger!" They shared one more session of giggles and smiles then made their way back to the parking lot.
Elsa was already by the door, waiting for Anna to unlock the car. "Nope, not right now!" the redhead excitedly said, pulling the French girl by the hand to the nearby trolley. Luckily, the pair managed to find two vacant seats. Elsa marveled at the beautiful city as they rode through the area. Anna giggled, seeing the blonde as a child walking through a candy store. Elsa's eyes sparkled at every statue, tree, and street corner. Elsa sighed in satisfaction as she rested her head on Anna's shoulder. All the redhead could think about was that moment of peace. A beautiful girl resting on her as the made their way through a gorgeous city. About five minutes later, Anna reluctantly woke the sleeping beauty. "Good afternoon, sleepy head!" she greeted. Elsa blushed with slight embarrassment but let the moment pass when trying to figure out where they were. They slipped off the trolley, and Elsa grew the largest smile Anna had ever seen. In the distance, on a large pier overlooking a shining sea, was the Arendelle Carnival. The lights from booths and festivities lit up the dimming sky. It wasn't long until Anna noticed that she was no longer leading the pair. Elsa had taken the first steps and rushed Anna, nearly breaking their intertwined fingers. The redhead only watched in amusement as the blonde went to each booth, trying to win more prizes. They came up to one last activity. There, a large man with his dog (both having fresh blonde hair) offered the French girl a large mallet. Anna recognized the game almost immediately. The objective was simple: To get the prize, strike the bottom of the tall, lit up rod hard enough so that the light indicating your "strength" rose to the top.
Elsa grasped the mallet from the attendant, then dropped it almost as soon as he let go. "It's heavy!" She picked it up once again, obviously struggling, and struck the target with all her might. She caught her breath and looked up to see the fruits of her labor. The blonde only pouted, seeing the beam of light not even go half way. "I'm sorry. I'm afraid you don't get a prize. You could always try again?" the man hinted, hoping the girl would be foolish enough to spend more money on a second attempt. "C'est truqué! Let's go, An-" "Wait." the obviously smaller girl commanded. "Give me a second." Elsa watched with a confused expression as the redhead slammed down a dollar then lifted the hammer. "A-Anna-" Elsa tried to say. Before she could finish her statement, her jaw dropped with awe as the small girl crashed down the mallet, shaking the large rod. The light immediately rose to the top, making a satisfying *ding*. "Woah," both the man working and Elsa said in unison. Anna dropped the mallet with a smile, grabbing the reindeer doll from the still-amazed man and handing it to Elsa. "Incroyable! That was amazing!" she exclaimed. "You were amazing!" Anna's face flustered at the compliment.
It was getting dark. The girls wrapped up their time at the carnival, rode the trolley back, and were now at the car. Anna opened the trunk of the vehicle, taking out a picnic basket. "Put your stuff in the car." she told the blonde. She complied and followed Anna to what seemed to be a park. It looked stunning. The fountains that ran across the outline of the green oasis were spewing water. Lamps that resembled old, gas powered lanterns were spread around, lighting up the cobblestone paths. This only complimented the view of the red-orange sun setting in the distance. The pair found a nice patch of grass to relax unloaded the contents of the purse. The food looked delicious. In the basket were some sandwiches Anna handmade. There were two bottles of lime soda, a drink both girls absolutely loved, and a large canister of milk chocolate covered almonds. "Oh mon Dieu, c'est délicieux" Elsa managed to say, still chewing on a sandwich. Anna smoothly responded with,"the best food for the best girl." After mentally patting herself on the back, she waited for Elsa to finish her food.
They collected their belongings, threw away the trash, and walked through the park together. "This is so perfect." Anna thought. Walking up to the central fountain, radiating in perfectly angled lights as the lamps gleamed in the now nighttime sky. They followed the soothing sounds of an acoustic guitar, eventually finding its source. A man sat at the other end of the fountain, blissfully plucking away the strings of his guitar. "Oh my God, it's my favorite song!" Anna squealed. Elsa couldn't help but smile as she saw Anna being taken away by the song. You and I by Ingrid Michaelson if she wasn't mistaken. Anna snapped back to reality when she saw a pale, milky hand extend towards her. "Viens danser. Dance with me." Elsa said with a welcoming smile. The redhead's heart began to race. She nearly leapt for joy right there. "This can not be happening." Anna tried to convince herself. It was like a dream. A dream Anna never wanted to wake up from. The perfect date with the perfect girl. Anna accepted the hand. "She knows how to dance," Elsa thought to herself. This was the happiest she'd ever been. Everything was flawless. She never wanted it to end. The world could be ending, but she wouldn't care. All she needed was that moment. All that she wanted was the girl across from her, dancing in the moonlight. Elsa tried to fight back a tear, but her happiness got the best of her. "What's wrong?" the Anna thought with a worried look. "Rien! Nothing! I just- I just never thought I could feel this happy." Elsa replied, another tear falling from her glassy eyes. Anna wiped the girl's eyes. "You deserve this," Anna said with a calm tone, smiling. "This is all for you."
There they were. In each other's arms, dancing while the moon watched. All the problems of the world just disappeared. She was no longer troubled by grades. She didn't feel lonely with her father gone. Hans was just a small memory in the back of her head. Elsa made everything better. Anna's heart nearly stopped when she saw the French girl's eyes shut, her head reaching down. Not giving it a second thought, Anna met her halfway. Their lips touched. Elsa was so cold, yet so warm and comforting. It was a sensation Anna couldn't comprehend and couldn't even begin to explain. It didn't matter. All that was important was the Elsa. The sweet kiss seemed to last for lifetime, or so each girl had hoped. It was complete serenity. Nothing could break the peace. "She tastes delicious" the redhead thought to herself, trying to suppress other, more graphic thoughts. Anna drew back, face flustered. She grinned.
"This is so perfect." the redhead said.
Elsa could only nod, also growing red. Anna noticed her eyes focused on her lips. She wanted more.
Anna gave in to the blonde girl's lustful gaze. Before falling into Elsa's kiss, the small girl let out:
"I can't believe it. You're finally mine."
Probably the longest chapter I've written. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! I kept playing love songs so I'd stay in the romantic mood. Till next chapter!
