Jeez it has been way to long since I have updated and I an extremely sorry for that. I will try my best to update at least a few chapter over the summer. Once again sorry for the long wait.
Tour Around Town
Just as they agreed on Friday Jack showed up at Elsas house to pick her up. He arrived even a few min early as he knew Elsa well enough to be aware of her habit of showing up and preparing for everything early.
He parked his car at the side walk and was currently standing at her door. He took a deep breath and knocked. Elsas mother Iduna was the one to answer the door.
"Oh my goodness Jack is it really you ?" Idune asked surprised. Jack just nod in response.
Idune took a step forward and took a good look at the teen from head to toe.
"Jack look at you. How much have you grown and I bet you must be shaving by now." She looked at him before embracing him in a hug. This surprised him a bit so he didn't return it.
"Mom can you please leave him be. You are scaring him." Elsa requested of her mother as the came down the stairs.
"Isn't scaring off your boyfriend your fathers job ?" Idune turned to her daughter.
"Mom." Elsa said embarrassed.
"Though you have nothing to worry about. Your father had always liked Jack." She winked at the teen standing at the door.
"Mom I beg of you." Elsa dropped her head down.
"Ok I'll stop." She walked up to Elsa and kissed her on the top of the head and Elsa looked up at her with a smile.
"Jack." She turned back to him.
"I hope that you will take care of my daughter like you always did when you were kids. I am sure that you know it yourself she may put on the ice queen mask but she likes to be taken care of once in a while." She smiled at him.
"O-Of course miss Arendelle." Jack assured her.
"Jack you can call my aunty like you always did when you were a kid. Or you can start calling me mom if you wish." Both Jack and Elsa blushed at that statement.
"Mom !" Elsa shouted.
"Ok. I will leave you two be now." Idune smiled and left for the kitchen.
For a solid minute or two neither Jack or Elsa said anything. They also both refused to look up at one another. Finally Jack broke the silence.
"So I see that your mom hasn't changed did she ?" He finally looked up.
"No she didn't." Elsa looked up and their eyes met just for a brief second before they both dropped their heads back down.
"So are you ready to go or do you need more time ?" He asked.
"And have I ever not been ready on time ?" She asked mockingly which caused them both to laugh and finally relax.
"Yeah you are right. I don't recall a day when the great Ice Queen Elsa was not ready in time." Jack giggled to himself.
"Stop calling me that will you. You goofs." She ruffled his hair. She recalled that he is and to be honest never really was a big fan of her doing so.
"I think I told you that I'm not a child anymore." He reminded her.
"I know that was pay pack for the Ice Queen." They both laughed again and left for his car.
Time Skip.
Jack parked his car at a secured carpark that was pretty much in the centre of the town. He took his ticket form the guard and they started their tour.
"So is there any specific place you would like to start with ?" Jack asked as they made their way towards the main street.
"Well Rachel only took me shopping and so the local mall was the only place I got to see." She explained.
"I would love to find out where the library is." She quickly add. Jack sigh.
"Figures. You always loved books more than you loved me." He said with a fake sad face.
"Oh come on Jack you are so much more fun than books are." She ruffled his hair to annoy him but this time he didn't mid it in the slightest.
"Can I get that in writing." He smiled at her.
"Don't even dream about it." They both giggled.
The both of them may be to embarrassed to admit to it but they missed each other. They were the best of friends since they were only a few months old as their mothers were also the best of friends since middle school. They pretty much grew up together. Heck their mothers even bathed them together.
That's why when Jack found out that he will be moving from Alaska to Washington he felt as if someone pierced his heart. He could not even think about living Elsa and when little Elsa found out that her best friend and childhood crush will be living her forever she burst out into tears and became a shadow of herself for a week after he left.
For the last few days that they had left before Jacks moving they were inseparable. They spent every day and at one another house since it was summer time they also had sleepovers every night. They also slept in the same bed and every night before falling asleep they promised each other that despite the distance they would still be the best of friends till the end of the world.
Sadly that promise was broken and after about a year of phone calling and exchanging letter with each other their contact stopped. No one was at fault. It was just life. Lack of time. Changing phone numbers ect. But now the two of them have met again by surprise, faith or chance only god knows. The question is what will they do about that fact ?
At The Library
"This is it." Jack said motioning at the big building they were standing before.
Seattle Public Library or SPL for short was an odd shape building which contained many windows. One could say that it was nearly entirely made out of them. But thanks to it the library was always very well lit.
"It's looks magnificent." Elsa was amazed.
"So do you Elsa." Jack murmured to himself.
"Sorry want what did you say ?" Elsa heard him.
"Oh noting." Jack rose his hand up a bit in defence and smiled at her awkwardly.
"Should we go in ?" He asked quickly.
Elsa just nod with a smile.
Time Skip
"I should have figured that you would have all the essential documents to get a library card with you." Jack shook his head looking at Elsa who was carrying an entire bag of books. She just smiled ta him.
Jack sigh before saying. "At least give me that bag. We will drop it of back at my car. I won't allow you to carry them for the next few hours." He took the bag from her and they head back to the car park.
"I don't know about you but I feel like grabbing a bite are you up for one as well ?" Jack asked looking up from his watch.
"That sounds nice." She admitted and Jack smiled at her.
"Any particular place you want to eat ?" He asked.
"Somewhere local that is not. , KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King or Subway." She stated. Jack giggled at her statement.
"I see that you are still not a big fan of fast food than are you ?" He giggled again.
"It's not only that I would just like to find out a nice place to hang out at that serves good food." She explained.
"In that case I know just the place follow me." He took her hand in his own just like he use to do all the time when they were kids and lead the way.
A few minutes later they were standing outside a small family restaurant called Remy's.
"Oh it looks cosy inside." Elsa stated looking in through the window.
"Oh it is but the food is even better. The owner and the head chief is a genius. He can cook anything and everything and it's just delicious." Jack looked at her with a smile.
Elsa return the smiled and they entered the restaurant.
"Oh hey there Jacki it has been a while how are you ?" A plump ginger guy in his early 30 came up to them and fist bumped Jack.
"Hey there Em how are you." Jack greeted him back.
"I am great as you can see." The man patted his round belly and laughed.
"And who is this lovely Lady by your side Jakci." Emile asked looking at Elas.
"Oh yes. Emile this is Elsa my childhood friend she moved to Seattle recently. Elsa this is Emile but most people call him Em he's the owners brother the restaurants manager." Jack introduce the two to each other.
"It's nice to meet you Sir." Elsa too her hand out.
"The pleasures all mine." Emile took her hand, bent down and kissed it. Elsa blushed a bit.
"So are you two a couple ?" He asked with a smiled as soon as he was standing straight again.
Both Jack and Elsa blushed.
"No we are just good friends." Jack stated.
"I see." Emile nod his head and smiled as is he wanted to say. "That won't be the case too long."
"Ok than come on kids sit down and I'll go tell Remy that you are here. He wouldn't forgive me if he found out that you visited us and I didn't inform him." He showed them their table and left with a smile.
"He seems like a really good person." Elsa said.
"Oh is a great chap believe me and Remy is the same. A bit more serious but as kind and funny as Emile." Jack explained.
"Also you seem to be good friends ?" Elsa looked at Jack questioningly.
"Oh yeah we always have family dinners here once a month and I come here often with my pack. It's our favourite place to hang out." Jack smiled.
Elsa wanted to say something but was interrupted by a tall black haired man with a faint moustache who approached their table.
"Hello Jack how are you." He greeted him.
"Hey there Remy how are things." Jack return the greeting.
"Oh just great but now you tell me who is this beautiful young lade that Em told me about." He smiled at Elsa.
"Remy this is Elsa my childhood friend. She moved here only recently." Jack explained.
"It's nice to meet you Sir." Elsa stood up and took her hand out.
Just like his brother before Remy kissed it.
"It's lovely to meet you. I hope that this big idiot has been treating you right ?" Remy asked. Elsa giggled at the question.
"Hey !" Jack protested.
"Don't worry Sir I have known his nearly all of my life. I know all of his weaknesses so he wouldn't dare."
Remy laughed at that statement.
"Now I know that you two are a great match." Remy said with a smiled and the two teens blushed.
"Remy we…" Jack was about to say but was cut short by Remy.
"I know you are not a couple but I am just saying that according to me you would be a great one." Remy straightened his previous statement.
"Also since it's your first time here Miss Elsa and you have the misfortune of spending the day with him." Remy pointed at Jack whit his thumb and Jack just sigh in response.
"The both of you are ordering on the house and I am not taking no for an answer. Is that clear ?" Remy looked back and forth between the two of them.
Elsa was going to protest but Jack was quicker and just thanked the man before he left.
"Before you say anything Elsa. This gut really won't take no for an answer. In the best case scenario he would just say something the likes of "My castle my rules." And leave." Jack explained.
"And in the worst case scenario ?" Elsa was curious.
"Not sure although I did hear that he threw someone out and banned them from entering the restaurant ever again. Although I am not a hundred percent sure it is truth or why did he do so if it is." Jack explained. Elsa just nod.
"So is there any dish that you particularly like ?" Elsa opened the menu.
'Well, I usually order a small bowl of the shrimp coup as a starter. Coq au Vin for the main and Chocolate mousse for dessert." Jack stated.
"Sounds nice." Elsa agreed.
"I think I will also have the shrimp soup for a starter. But for the main dish I will take Blanquette de Veau and as for dessert I will get the classical Crème Brulee."
Jack nod and called out to Em that they have chosen their order. He was by their side in a flash took their order and as about their drinks. Jack asked for grape soda while Elsa for water. Em noted it all down and asked them to wait. Shortly he was back out with their food.
After Lunch/Dinner (Whatever you want to call it.)
"Wow the food was so good. I understand why would that be your favourite place to eat." Elsa was grateful that Jack showed her the place.
They were on their way back to Jacks car and were holding hands though they were unaware of it.
"Told you." Was all Jack said and Elsa giggled.
They talked about many different things on the way to the car and on the ride home and before they even noticed Jack had parked the car on front of Elsas house.
She turned to him.
"Jack today was great I really can't thank you enough." She said.
"Ah don't mention it." Jack smiled and she giggled.
"Anyway thank you." She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek which caused him to blush and freeze for a few seconds.
"Really it was not a problem. It was nice to spend some time with you again." He said avoiding her eyes.
"True I missed you a lot." She admit.
"So did I. I felt as if a part of me was missing and to be honest I still did till now. Since I saw you that day in school and found out that you are back. I felt so damn happy." He admitted and looked her in the eyes.
"It was the same for me." She smiled.
Then she saw Anna opening and standing at the door and she knew it was her que to get back inside before her sister will run up to the car. Really that girl was like a master thief. If she could not get in through the door she would do so through the window or even the chimney.
"I better go before she comes here." Elsa giggled.
"No worries. Tell her I said hey and also wish your parents good night from me." Jack smiled.
"I will don't worry. See you tomorrow at school" She kissed his cheek for the second time that evening and quickly left exit the car."
Jack was once again freeze for a few seconds and when he looked back after her saying "See you." He only saw the door closing behind her. So he start the engine and drove off.
Ok that's it for today I hope that you liked it. Also that is the new writing formant that I am using as of lately. It's easier to read and follow so I hope that you won't mind.
Also in case some of you are wondering Remy and Emile are indeed from Ratatouille.
Once again sorry for the long wait. Like always HAVE A MAD DAY and See you all soon.
