"It's the last day of school! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" Rapunzel squealed. The two were at Anna's locker, as Anna was returning her textbooks and emptying all the contents from her locker. Tomorrow was the start of summer and Anna was ready for it.
"I can't wait! No more school and then you and I can go shopping and the beach! Oh we can talk about what we should do in our senior year! Isn't summer going to be great?" Rapunzel said happily and Anna nodded her head.
"Yea, summer is going to be great." Anna was thinking about something else, she was thinking about something else great that was going to happen during the summer.
"I can't wait, I can't wait!" Rapunzel squealed, jumping up and down in her seat. Anna just smiled at Rapunzel once she had placed her last notebook in her backpack. It was lunch time, only having a few classes left before the start of summer.
Everyone was anxious and they were chattering about their summer. Others were already starting their summer, not attending school today and decided to all go to the beach.
"And senior ditch day! Oh won't that be fun Anna! It can be you and I and Flynn and everyone else that we know and we can go to the beach!" Anna then imagined her senior year. She would always dream of her senior year, she would always dream about what were to happen. She actually had a senior dream last night. It was about how there was the senior all-nighter and everyone was gathered in the gym, where all the seniors talked to each other and bonded. Anna imagined Elsa. She imagined Elsa in her little cute oversized pajama snowflake top. She imagined herself leaning into Elsa, leaning into her soft body as Elsa would wrap her arms lovingly and protectingly around Anna. They were happy, talking to Flynn, Rapunzel, Kristoff and Olaf. Everyone was there and there wasn't anything against their relationship. Elsa would place her nose into Anna's hair and smell her scent, her usual lavender scent. Anna would be sitting in between Elsa's open legs as they would just laugh and talk with their friends. There was no drama, there was no Hans and there was no enemy group or separation.
Anna imagined her senior ditch day. It would be at the beach definitely. Kristoff and Olaf would make sandmans and Flynn and Rapunzel would go snorkeling. Everyone would be there from their class except for Hans and they would all have a barbeque. Elsa would be there, stunningly with her hair down and in a navy blue bikini. Her flawless skin and her beautiful petite figure would be shown. She would wear Anna's white sleeved long chiffon that she usually wore to the beach. She would have only the middle part of the chiffon or the middle of her belly area buttoned and everyone would look at Elsa as if she was the most beautiful person there. Elsa would ignore all their looks and walk over to Anna, wrapping her arms around her waist and tilting her head where she can give Anna a light peck on the cheek. Anna would grasp onto Elsa's arms that were wrapped around her and they would stay there, smiling and sitting down on the soft sand. They would build a sand castle and Anna would find a white and pink flower and tuck it into Elsa's ear. Elsa would smile at Anna before giving her a kiss on the nose.
"Anna! Earth to Anna!" Rapunzel snapped her fingers in front of Anna's face, causing her to snap out of her daze and look up.
"Sorry." Anna blushed and Rapunzel just smiled.
"Thinking about senior year aren't we?" Rapunzel smirked and Anna shrugged her shoulders, a silly smile on her face.
"Maybe."
"Don't get ahead of yourself! Who knows what's going to happen during our senior year, but for now, let's just get ready for summer." Rapunzel pumped her fist and Anna just chuckled.
Anna was definitely ready for summer and she was ready for that one month to go by.
After finally finishing through the last quarter of their junior year, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf trudged into the condo and all threw themselves onto the couch, exhausted and tired.
"I hate when teachers still give you work on the last day of school. It's so irritating." Olaf groaned, getting a nod of agreement from Elsa and Kristoff. Belle shortly came into the condo, her backpack in her hands as she looked at her three best friends, giving a small chuckle. They were all so alike yet different at the same time.
"At least it's over now." Elsa sighed happily, causing Kristoff to smile and Olaf to just nod his head in agreement.
Elsa had changed. Kristoff and Olaf believed that she actually recovered. At first, they were afraid that she might have just been putting up a façade, blowing eventually when they weren't there. But, to Kristoff's and Olaf's surprise, she never did. Belle was there to support her, give her advice and talk to her, take her to places that would allow Elsa to let it go or just get her mind off of Anna. Now, Elsa seemed to be fully recovered, she seemed like the normal Elsa again, the carefree and happy Elsa.
And Kristoff and Olaf probably owed Belle their lives for being able to cure Elsa, cure Elsa from her depression or whatever it was.
But, there was just one small problem lately.
"I can stay on this couch and sleep like this forever." Kristoff moaned, making himself comfortable and Elsa and Olaf agreed, getting themselves comfortable as well.
"Amen." Elsa declared. Belle stood at the front door and frowned, watching her three friends sprawl themselves on the couch. They literally only had one assignment today… and that was a reflection. Belle walked over towards Elsa, who was on the opposite side of the couch.
"Elsa! You promised we would go out today… You all did!" Belle exclaimed, looking at her lazy friends.
"Belle… We're tired… Maybe tomorrow." Kristoff murmured, feeling himself slowly give into sleep.
"That's what you guys kept saying every time ever since last week." Belle frowned and watched Olaf shrug his shoulders.
"Belle… We don't have as much energy as you okay? Can you just give us a five minute breather?" Olaf mumbled, feeling himself get lighter and lighter. Belle desperately turned to Elsa and wanted to know what she was going to say, what she wanted to say.
Elsa stretched out her body and yawned.
"Belle… Just five minutes please?" Elsa pouted, her eyes closed and Belle shook her head. Her eyes were tearing up and her voice cracked.
"You guys always say that and in the end, you never even agree with your word. I'm sick and tired of always getting a rain check when you guys aren't obviously doing anything!" Belle ran, her footsteps running out of the door and into the outside hallway. Elsa frowned and opened her eyes, noticing that Belle was gone. She turned towards her two friends, who also had worried looks on their faces.
"Oh dear…. What have we done?" Olaf groaned, burying his face into his hands. Kristoff looked towards Elsa, giving her one of his looks they used to communicate. Elsa nodded her head, getting up from the couch and running out of the door and into the hallway as well, hoping that she didn't lose Belle.
Elsa knew that she had ran outside the condo, the elevator already going down to the lobby. Elsa sighed before going down the stairs, sprinting as fast as she could down. Thank goodness she was best friends with two basketball pros.
Elsa ran out of the condo and was faced with the loud streets. The annoying screeching of cars and the loud honks that were emitting from them. Elsa looked left to right, squinting. Since when did it start raining? Elsa groaned and thought about where Belle would go. She wouldn't go back to her home and she wouldn't go out to their park that the four of them went to. An idea clicked in her mind and Elsa ran right, hoping that she was heading towards the right direction.
Fortunately, Elsa had seen Belle standing at the traffic light, waiting for it to change so that she could cross the street. Elsa ran after her, her footsteps hitting the puddles lightly and making a splashing noise each step she took. Belle bit her lip and leaned against the pole, watching the cars fly by. Once Elsa was close enough, she noticed that Belle was crying. Why though? Elsa slowly approached her and once she stood by Belle's side, Belle let out a weak chuckle.
"Why don't you go to your nice comfy home and take a nap Elsa? You guys did say you were tired after all right?" Elsa frowned at Belle's words. She was salty, definitely salty. Elsa sighed and ran a hand through her bangs at the top of her head, feeling the wetness of it. Belle stood there, her shirt stuck to her body loosely due the rain but her jeans had stuck to her like a second skin. Elsa frowned at how she saw Belle shiver. She took off her favorite navy blue jacket and handed it to Belle, who looked at her confused. Elsa just shook her head and gestured for her to put it on. Elsa felt her own dry shirt that was under her jacket start to cling to her body. She loved this kind of whether, the rain as well as liking the weather of snow. It was just that she never liked the feeling of a shirt being completely wet and sticking onto your skin. But, Belle was cold so what could she do?
Belle slipped into Elsa's jacket and got herself comfortable in it. Elsa smiled when Belle let out a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong Belle?" Elsa asked, looking down onto the girl that snuggled herself into Elsa's favorite jacket and placed the hoodie up on top of her head.
"It's just that… it's the end of the school year and junior year is over…" Belle started.
"Shouldn't that be good then? It's summer Belle! Summer where we don't have to worry about any work and we can all just hang out together!" Elsa exclaimed and Belle shook her head, making a face that Elsa knew she was biting the inside of her cheek.
"You don't understand Elsa… That's exactly what I mean. It's summer and…" Belle was interrupted again.
"And what Belle?" Elsa looked at her friend and she saw her eyes tear up slightly, even from the heavy rain that was pouring down onto them.
"Because… you're leaving Elsa. All three of you are leaving and you guys aren't going to come back and I feel like you'll forget about me that this friendship we just had was like a one night stand kind of thing… A long one night friendship stand." Belle said and Elsa shook her head, smiling down at Belle.
"We're not going to forget you Belle! We'll talk to each other and we will all face time each other when all this is over." Elsa said and Belle scoffed.
"That's what they all say and in the end, it slowly dwindles down, the quantity amount of talking and eventually… It's forgotten." Belle stated, her tears threatening to fall.
"Belle we aren't going to forget you. I promise you that." Elsa smiled softly at her and Belle nodded her head, holding back her tears. Elsa studied Belle, she studied her and continued.
"There's more to this Belle… What's actually wrong? There's something more… I can see it in your eyes." Elsa said and watched Belle look away, her tears finally falling.
"It's true Elsa… You guys are leaving and it's just.."
"Just what exactly Belle?" Elsa stood closer to Belle until they were a good six inches apart from each other. Belle looked into Elsa's eyes and knew that it was now or never.
"Elsa… I really like you. I like you more than I'm supposed to, more than friends and… I just wanted to let you know before all this is over, where you finally go back to California and forget-"
Belle's voice was cut short, her breath was cut short. Instead, Belle's expression drastically changed from sad to shocked. Elsa had smashed her lips against Belle's, giving her reassurance and for once, Belle felt like she had a chance. She had a chance. Though, once she realized what was happening, Elsa had already pulled back, looking into Belle's eyes with a small reassured smile on her face.
"Good thing you let me know now or else this would all have been hidden." Elsa gave a cocky smirk, a smirk that Elsa never graced upon ever since the beginning of Junior Year. Belle smiled up at Elsa, her heart racing.
"S-S-oo…" Belle stuttered and Elsa reached over, grabbing both of Belle's hands in her own, making Belle completely lose her train of thought and making her blush furiously. Elsa just laughed at Belle's reaction and brought her right hand up, laying a small kiss onto her knuckles.
"I kind of actually grew feelings for you too… When you were trying to help me recover. It gave me a sense of… happiness knowing that even after all those years of leaving you without a reason, that you were still there to help me." Elsa smiled gently and Belle's heart soared at her smile.
"S-s-o w-what d-d-does t-this m-m-make us?" Belle was able to stutter out, giving Elsa a reason more to smile.
"Well Belle… Maybe I can take you out tonight? We can enjoy ourselves and I'll ask you that lucky question. Olaf and Kristoff can go stay home, they are tired after all." Elsa suggested. Belle nodded her head instantly in agreement.
"Uh sure." Belle stated and Elsa smiled, their hands still intertwined.
"How about we head back to the condo okay? Kristoff and Olaf are still wondering where you are, and it's pouring so let's not make them call a search party okay?" Elsa heard Belle chuckle. Elsa let go of Belle's left hand. They walked side by side together, Elsa holding Belle close as they walked back to the condo.
Anna shot up from her bed, hearing her alarm clock beeping. She looked to her right and gasped, looking at the time. She looked at her calendar to see it was the day before the big red circle. She needed to get ready, she needed her game plan. So, Anna crawled out of her bed and trudged over to her closet, sleepiness still in her eyes. She scanned her wardrobe and grabbed a pair of sweats and a sweater. She didn't care what she looked today because today wasn't the big day. Today was the day to just go out and shop with Rapunzel and get her mind rolling on her plan for the next day.
She heard light knocks on her door and told the person to come in, seeing a decked out and proper dressed Rapunzel walk in. Rapunzel looked at Anna and gasped at her attire. Anna just looked at her, her eyebrows furrowed and scrunched together as Rapunzel glided towards Anna, shaking her head in disapproval.
"What is this?" Rapunzel said, looking at Anna's poor attire. She just shrugged.
"We're just going to the mall right? Nothing formal…" Anna started and Rapunzel shook her head.
"Yes we're going to the mall but we got to go out and eat lunch with the gang!" Rapunzel said and Anna shrugged her shoulders, grabbing her small bag.
"So? It's not like it's someone's wedding Rapunzel let's just go." Anna said and Rapunzel shook her head, grabbing onto Anna's arm.
"Anna please, wear something decent." Rapunzel said and Anna shook her head.
"Can we just go? I don't need to impress anyone there anyways." Anna said casually and Rapunzel frowned.
"Your father and mother are downstairs. They aren't going to approve of your outfit since they know what your plans are today." Anna froze. There are those expectations…again.
"Okay, okay I'll go change." Anna said with a sigh. She went back to her closet and grabbed a summer dress. She showed it to Rapunzel who got a nod of approval. Anna sighed and stomped her way to the bathroom. She eventually came out five minutes later, wearing the dress and having her sweats and sweater in her hand. Rapunzel smiled and skipped towards Anna, circling her around with a nod of approval.
"Perfect!" Rapunzel clasped her hands together and smiled. "Now let's go before we're late! There are reservations!" Rapunzel laughed, grabbing Anna onto her arm and dragging her out of her room.
Olaf and Kristoff had decided to do their packing later, playing video games for the last time in their get-away life in the living room. Elsa was being diligent and decided packing since they were all leaving tomorrow, their flight taking off at 7 A.M. Elsa walked back and forth from her closet to her bed, placing all her folded clothes neatly into the suitcase. Belle leaned against the door frame of Elsa's room and sighed, watching her do her work. Elsa's back was faced to Belle, as Elsa was oblivious that there was a presence in the room.
Belle leaned away from the door frame and stood tall with a straight posture, but still she was shorter than Elsa. Belle silently tip toed her way over to the occupied Elsa. When Elsa was at her suitcase, organizing it, Belle wrapped her arms around Elsa's waist and tiptoed just slightly, to place her chin onto Elsa's shoulder. She looked over to see Elsa dropped the piece of clothing she was going to place in her suitcase and turned around, grabbing Belle by the waist and pulling her into a hug. Belle was immediately pushed off of Elsa's shoulder and into her neck. She wrapped her arms securely around Elsa and buried her head into the crook of Elsa's neck, letting her tears fall. Elsa stood there, rubbing soothing circles around Belle's back and kissing her hair repeatedly, telling her that everything will be alright. They stood there, the pair stood there in the middle of the room, only Belle's muffled sobs being heard.
After that day where Belle had fled in the pouring rain and Elsa chased after her, Elsa took Belle out for the night. They went out to go and watch a movie and eat dinner and eventually by the end of the night, Elsa asked Belle if they would want to be a thing. Now, Elsa and Belle were officially dating and tonight was Elsa's last night. Her last night here in New York. It was time to go back to California and Elsa's real world. She had to go back, she couldn't stay here forever. Elsa promised Belle that this long distance thing will work, that they will talk every single day on face time or Skype.
"This… isn't going to work out Elsa." Belle hiccupped into Elsa's neck, causing Elsa to shake her head in disagreement.
"This is going to work Belle, I know that it will." Elsa mumbled.
"No it won't… You're going to have a bunch of great people in California and you'll be busy with your senior year and all your classes and in the end, you'll just forget and I'll forget with my sports too." Belle felt Elsa pull back from her and felt the piercing blue eyes of Elsa bore into her. Elsa cupped Belle's face in her hands and looked into Belle's eyes while Belle looked into hers.
"You're right Belle… This isn't going to work…" And Belle whimpered at the realization that also hit Elsa. Their long distance relationship wasn't going to work, so they should call it off, they should just call it quits. Belle looked away from Elsa and was going to leave the condo, leave Elsa for the last time before she heard Elsa say again.
"So would you come with me back to California?" And Belle froze. She looked back into Elsa's intense, passionate and hopeful eyes and her breath was taken away. Belle bit her lip and wondered what she should say to Elsa.
Anna shot up from her bed and looked around quickly. She glanced at her alarm clock to see that the digits said 12:00 and she stayed there on her bed. Today was the day, today was the day! Anna squealed and quickly got off her bed, running over to her calendar to mark the day and make a big heart around it. Then, she saw in her red marker that it said Elsa would be here at one. Anna's eyes widened as she dropped her pen. Shit, shit, shit!
Anna immediately scrambled her way throughout her room, grabbing her clothes and fixing her hair. She only had forty five minutes to get there, considering that she should be early. Once Anna had gotten herself look decent enough, she looked at the clock to see it was 12:15 and her eyes widened even larger. Anna ran to her bedside table and grabbed her keys before running out of her room and down the stairs, earning a good afternoon from her parents. But, Anna was too focused to reply back and just jolted out of the door and to her car.
Hopefully, she wouldn't get any speeding tickets.
Anna finally arrived at the gate she was supposed to be at and tried to catch her breath. She placed her hands on her head and looked at the clock to see that it was 12:45. Good.
Anna made her way over to one of the seats and sat down, looking impatiently over at the exit and watched for someone to come out of there, for anyone to come out. She could feel butterflies flying around in her stomach. Anna was defiantly nervous. She didn't know if Elsa was going to be different or not ever since she saw her. Would her personality change to some kind of bad boy? Would she look different? Would she have gotten a piercing or dyed her hair? Did she get any New York clothes? How different would she look in them? So many questions swirled in Anna's head.
Then, Anna saw a plane start going down from the sky and onto the runway. Her heart started to pound furiously against her chest. Was it her plane? And when Anna saw the plane stop, Anna's heart nearly stopped. She was lucky she didn't faint right then and there, or else that would've been really pathetic.
Anna saw everyone else around her stand up and get ready to greet their loved one and Anna did the same. She had to be ready, she had to be prepared. She was so nervous but excited all at the same time. She waited a bit before seeing the first person come out of the exit and walk over to the area where you would get your luggage. More people started to flood out of the place and majority of them walked over to the luggage area.
Anna had to make sure, she had to make sure that she kept her eyes on the luggage area as well as the entrance, just in case that maybe Kristoff and Olaf would decide to get Elsa's luggage. Anna was nervous, she could feel her adrenaline pumping through her veins.
Out of the corner of her eye, Anna saw Kristoff and Olaf and a bunch of other random people surrounding them walk towards the luggage belt. But, she never saw Elsa with Kristoff and Olaf and she looked ahead, seeing the person that took her breath away and captivated her mind for the past five months.
