"No, she's not feeling too well," Elsa said into the mouthpiece of her cell. She looked over at the frail body that lay on the bed closest to her. Anna had been completely silent for the entire cab ride home to the hotel, not even sobbing or anything. "Yeah, I think Cindy'll have to take over the role for tonight." She walked around to her own bed and sat down, trying to plug the charger in as she spoke with Kaj. At Anna's request, had pushed the beds together, guessing that the redhead wanted to be close to Elsa for the foreseeable future. "Of course I'll do my best to get her ready to leave tonight. Alright, take care," she said and closed her phone, the audible click echoing in the silent room, but still as satisfying as it always. "I told Kaj you've come down with a bit of a fever and I told Marshmallow he should keep Hans out of this room for the day."

Anna just remained silent, no response at all, not even a nod, or her head twitching. Elsa slipped further onto the make-shift double bed and grabbed hold of the other girl, centering her grip around the waist and shoulders. She then pulled Anna into the same position they'd shared in the alley barely an hour earlier. "Thanks," the girl whispered, her voice weak and raspy.

As Elsa gazed down across Anna's body, she saw the same body she'd admired for so long, only dirty. But it didn't feel the same when she thought about it. If she could have layered her imagination over her actual perception, Anna's body would have looked like the mess Elsa knew her to be in the head for the time being, and it bugged her. There had to be a way to fix this. If she didn't find it, she might as well let Anna die, because no one deserved to endure this kind of treatment for any amount of time.

No, don't think like that. There has to be a way. Nothing is so bad it can't be fixed. If anyone I know has an idea how to fix this, it's Olaf.

"Alright, Anna, we need to get you a shower, right? Or would you rather I filled the tub so you can relax in it?" Elsa asked the broken girl in her lap. Anna nodded and grabbed a bit of Elsa's dress in her right hand before asking if Elsa could fill the tub. "Of course I can," she said and placed a kiss on top of the other girl's head before slipping out from underneath her. "It'll just be a couple of minutes," she continued and went into the bathroom.

When Elsa had turned on the water and plugged the tub to make sure the water didn't run out, she pulled her phone out of her purse and opened up the SMS service. 'Olaf, I kinda need your help,' she wrote and hit send. She lit a couple of candles in the bathroom as she waited for Olaf's reply, enjoying the hollow sound of the tub slowly filling. It helped take her mind off things. The phone vibrated on the sink counter, and Elsa picked it up. It was a reply from Olaf, him simply asking what's up. 'Well things are getting going between Anna and I are getting going, but there are some complications. She's gotten herself into a real pickle,' Elsa sent a message back and turned around to see that the bathtub was almost full now. She turned off the water and put out different kinds of soap for Anna to use. The phone vibrated again.

- 'With that Hans guy?' Olaf asked, and once again, Elsa could vividly imagine the venom dripping from Olaf's voice. The short guy wasn't good at being angry or tell people if he didn't like them, but when you got to know him, it was easy to tell when he didn't like something or someone.

- 'Yeah. he somehow tricked her into doing drugs,' she replied and then went back out into the hotel room "Bath is ready for you, Anna," she said with a smile and walked over to the shattered girl. "Let's get you out of these clothes and into the bath so we can get you clean," Elsa continued and started helping Anna out of her clothes. She almost felt like she was taking care of a baby, and it bothered her like few things had before. Anna was a grown woman, and even though Elsa liked helping with emotional stuff, Anna should be more than able to take care of herself, at the very least physically.

Elsa got the the helpless girl out of her clothes and into the bathtub. "There we go sweety," she said as she stepped away from the tub and took her phone from the bathroom counter. "Now enjoy the hot water for a few minutes while I go take this call," she said and looked at her phone, pretending someone was calling her. The redhead nodded.

Outside the bathroom, Elsa closed the door with just a sliver of space between the door and the frame, which would enable her to see Anna in the tub while she was away. Walking over to the kitchen, she flipped her old phone open and saw that Olaf had replied to her text. Ignoring it for now, she called her oldest friend instead. The phone beeped the familiar tone a couple of times before he picked up. "Oh, good, you called," Olaf's voice sounded through the speaker. It hadn't even been a week yet since Elsa had left on the tour, but hearing his voice, she realized how much she missed the guy.

- "Hey Olaf," she replied, feeling a smirk spreading across the right side of her face and her eyes watering a bit. It was rare for Elsa to miss someone as much as she apparently had missed Olaf, so she was surprised at her own reaction to his voice. Her response to the reaction was to wipe the tears away with the right arm's sweater sleeve. "I might be in a bit of a pickle," she finished off her greeting and smiled to herself as she looked into the bathroom from her seat on the kitchen counter. Anna had begun washing herself, so it seemed she was capable of taking care of herself for now.

- "Yeah, I kinda figured," a concerned Olaf said on the other end of the line. "I gotta say Elsa, I hadn't anticipated anything like this. Anna seemed like a good girl when I met her." Elsa hopped down from the counter and moved towards the windows where she opened one of the curtains slightly with her fingers and looked outside. The sun was slowly setting.

- "Me neither, Olaf, me neither. But it has happened, and to be honest, I'm not sure what to do," she continued and smiled wistfully to herself.

- "Well, what're your options?"

- "Dunno. I only see two ways. One is easy and gets me out of this immediately, the other is gonna be hard, take a long time, and I'm not sure my mind can handle it"

- "You're thinking of bailing?"

Yes, I'm tempted to take the easy way out.

- "Yes, no, maybe, I really don't know Olaf. I never wanted to get involved in stuff like this, but I don't wanna leave Anna alone with it either."

- "I see. Flip a coin, heads you stay, tails you leave. Simple right?"

- "And leave it all up to chance? There's no way I'm doing that," Elsa responded. This was one of the hardest choices she'd ever had to make, and Olaf wanted her to just roll the dice and see how it all turned out? "Have you been drinking?"

Olaf chuckled on the other end, his usual hearty little chuckle. "Of course not, but trust me, the right choice will reveal itself to you."

- "Alright Mr. Miyagi, no reason to sound all mysterious," she said, comparing the slightly younger guy to his favorite film character before saying goodbye and closing her phone. And with that, she pulled a coin out of her purse, put it to rest on her thumb and index fingers before flipping it. Watching the coin spin, a million thoughts rushed through her head at the same time, and before it even reached the apex of its ascent, she knew what her choice was.

"Olaf, you sneaky fucker."


Hey guys! This was a really short one, I know. And I also know it's out of release schedule. But it's just been so long since I updated or even said anything that I wanted you guys to know that this fic is still very much alive, and I also kind of wanted to leave you hanging with a question for once. I've just been very busy making money, and I've also had quite the writer's block for almost a week now, so this might not be up to the standard you guys are used to. I hope you enjoy anyway!
