Chapter 3

It was Friday, and a slow day at the bakery. Anna was bored out of her mind. She was sitting behind th counter, attempting to make some sort of origami out of a napkin. As it turns out, Anna does not know how to do origami. She threw her latest attempt into the trash can with all the others.

She was trying to keep herself from thinking about Kristoff and their impending date. It really wouldn't do to get caught daydreaming at work. On the other hand, no one would probably be coming in anyway. Anna was sitting there, thinking about how soft his hair looked, when all of a sudden a hand appeared in front of her face, snapping. Startled, looked up and saw Olaf, looking amused.

"What?" She said looking at him.

"I've been calling your name but you weren't answering. I came out here and you had this weird, kinda creepy smile on your face," he said smirking.

"I did not." She glared at him. "Anyways, what did you want?"

"I was trying to tell you that we're gonna close an hour early, so you can go ahead and go home for the day."

"Really? Oh, thank God. I was going crazy," she said running into the back room. She hung up her apron and grabbed her purse. "Bye Olaf. I'll see you on Monday," she yelled walking out onto the sidewalk.

As she walked through the park, Anna hoped to see Kristoff and Sven, but they weren't there. She got to her apartment and was unlocking the door when her phone rang. She dug through her purse, grabbing it. "Hello?" she answered.

"Anna? It's Kristoff," he said. Anna was so excited he called that she dropped her keys.

"Oh crap. Hey Kristoff."

"Hey. Um, how was your day?" He asked sounding a bit awkward.

"Boring. You?"

"Oh, um, it was fine I guess. I was, uh, wondering if you wanted to do something tomorrow night?" He sounded flustered. Anna smiled.

"That sounds great. What were you thinking?" she asked, doing an internal happy dance.

"You know, I hadn't thought that far. I was just hoping you'd say 'yes'," he admitted. "Maybe we could go to the carnival that's in town this weekend?" he suggested.

"That sounds awesome!" Anna said, excitedly. "I've never been to a carnival before."

"Seriously? How is that possible?" Kristoff asked.

"Umm, my parents were always busy, so they never really took us anywhere," she said.

Kristoff noticed her change in tone, and felt a small twinge of anger that her parents never spent time with her. "Well then, we're just going to have to make it extra fun," he said. Anna smiled.

"Ok. Sounds good. "Um, what time?" she asked.

"Oh. How about I pick you up around 3:00? Unless you'd rather meet me there?" Kristoff said.

"That would be kinda hard to do without a car," Anna laughed.

"Ok. Uh, what's your address?" Anna gave it to him.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then." He paused. "Bye'"

"Bye Kristoff," Anna said, hanging up, and saving his number. "Yes!" she exclaimed doing a little dance.

She ate dinner and tried sleeping, but couldn't sleep, so she stayed up late watching old Friends episodes.

By the time Anna woke up, it was already 11:30. She lay there for a few moments before remembering that today was her date with Kristoff. Smiling, she went into her kitchen to make some coffee. She grabbed a chocolate croissant and put it in the microwave. After eating, she took a shower then tried to decide what to wear.

She put on her favorite pair of jeans, turning around to look at her butt in the mirror, nodding in approval. She wore a light blue t-shirt as the weather had warmed up a bit today. She styled her light red hair into two braids, and put on her converse.

Now to wait, Anna thought. What to do? What to do? She still had about two hours.

She sat down on her couch and flipped through the channels, stopping on Criminal Minds. She wasn't so much as watching, as staring at the television, daydreaming. More specifically, daydreaming about Kristoff. He was just so awkward, it was adorable. This went on for a while, until her phone rang. She looked down and saw Kristoff's name on the screen.

"Hey," she answered, trying to sound casual and not too excited.

"Hey. I'm outside. I didn't know which apartment you lived in, so I just parked in front of the main door," he told her.

"Okay, I'll be right down," she said and hung up. She grabbed her keys and her wallet and stuffed them into her pocket. It took everything she had to walk slowly, and not run down the stairs. She wouldn't be able to go out with Kristoff if she killed herself. Walking out the door, she saw Kristoff leaning against an old, but still in good condition, light blue truck.

"Hey," he said, smiling at her. "Ready to go?"

"Yep." She said as he opened the passenger door for her. She grabbed the oh shit handle and pulled herself into the truck. He walked around the hood and got in. He started his truck and turned to her.

"It should probably take up about twenty minutes to get there," he said. "And you look nice by the way," he said, turning away to look for other cars as he pulled out. She got the feeling that he was embarrassed about admitting that, which made her grin.

"Thanks. So do you," she said. He was wearing an unbuttoned, dark blue, plaid shirt over a white t-shirt, along with jeans and combat boots.

"Thanks," he said quietly. There were a few minutes of silence until Kristoff turned on the radio. "You like music?" He asked her. She gave him a look that said duh. He smirked. "Put on whatever you want," he told her. She flipped through the station's before finding a classic rock station. Kristoff nodded his head in approval. They sat, listening to music until they arrived at the carnival.

Kristoff came around to open her door. He grabbed her hand and helped her down. As they walked through the gate, Anna looked down and noticed that Kristoff was still holding her hand. He look down as well and let go.

"Oh, sorry," he blushed. She shook her head and grabbed his hand.

"No, it's fine." She smiled up at him. They walked up to the booth to get their tickets for the rides.

Over the next the few hours, they rode the small rollercoasters, the spinning rides that made her dizzy, the bumper cars and played some of the games at the booths. Right now they were at a game where Kristoff had to knock over a series of milk bottle pyramids with baseballs. He took aim and knocked down the bottles with one ball. Same with the next one. He threw the last ball and knocked over all of the bottles.

Anna squealed. "You won." She hugged him before quickly letting go, clearing her throat. The worker came over to them and handed Kristoff a stuffed reindeer. "Congratulations."

"Thanks," he said and turned to Anna. "Here, it's for you,"he said shyly. It was extremely cliche but it was also extremely cute.

"Thank you " she said. He grabbed her hand and they walked away.

"You hungry?" he asked her. She nodded her head and shivered as the evening got colder.

Kristoff noticed and said, "Hold on." He took off his button up and put it on her. It was warm and smelled like laundry detergent. She smiled up at him.

"Thanks." He smiled at her and nodded. They walked up to the food stand, glad there was no line.

"What do you want?" He asked looking down at her.

"Ice cream," she answered.

"What kind?" he asked.

"A chocolate dipped chocolate cone," she told him. He looked at her. "What? I like chocolate," she defended. He smiled and shook his head. Kristoff ordered their food, him opting for a hot dog. They took their food and sat on a bench, eating in silence.

When they finished, Kristoff noticed that it was starting to get darker. "Are you ready to go?" he asked Anna.

"Yep. Let's go," She answered standing up. He grabbed her hand again and led her to his truck. He opened her door, then got in. They drove to her apartment in relative silence. He pulled up in front of her apartment building, and turned to her.

"I had a great time," he told her. She smiled.

"I did too. Thanks for taking me."

"It was my pleasure. So, um, would you maybe wanna do this again?" he asked blushing slightly.

Smiling at his cuteness, she said, "Definately." He smiled back at her.

He leaned over and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Goodnight, Anna," he said softly.

"Goodnight Kristoff," she said, just as quietly. She got out of the truck and walked up to the building door, turning around once more to wave as he pulled away from the curb and drove off.
