Standard Disclaimers: I don't own Frozen, but I wish I did though. Elsa, Anna, and the other characters belong to Disney.
Also, huge spoiler alert to those who haven't played Bioshock Infinite before. Don't worry, it's only in the first paragraph.
It was an incredibly hot Friday afternoon. Elsa was still playing Bioshock Infinite. She was in the part where Booker had travelled through time and saw Elizabeth, old and wrinkled. She comfortably sat there on her office chair as she watched the cut scene. Luckily, she had recently installed an air conditioner in her bedroom since the electric fan couldn't keep her cool enough. Also, it rattled and loudly hummed every time she used it. It concerned her since fans shouldn't be as loud as a lawn mower.
Elsa never liked summer. She prefer the cold over the heat. Summer always leave Elsa sweating and her skin sticky. It made her really uncomfortable. This year, she was away from it, all because of air conditioner. She instantly became friends with it as soon as summer started. Today was a familiar scene for her: Elsa sitting on her chair, in front of her laptop, and in her bedroom with closed doors. This had become her daily routine ever since she had been given a break for summer. She didn't want to go out and expose herself to the searing heat. All of her friends were with their families on a vacation. She wasn't close with the neighbors. The same goes for her co-workers. These left her with absolutely no company, but she didn't mind at all. She had her laptop loaded with games she could play for the rest of summer vacation. If she gets bored, she could go online and browse Reddit. She could read some literature, make some art, write music, all in her laptop. Everything she could do was in her room, and she was contented.
Suddenly, she was startled when she heard a rattle, then a few pops, then a weak fizz behind her, which made her pause the game abruptly. Oh no. I hope it's not what I think it is. She slowly turned around as she feared the worst. She looked up, her breathing getting shorter and her heart quickly beating. She gasped at the sight. Her air conditioner had stopped working and was smoking.
Her heart stopped, her eyes widened, and her hands trembled as she watched the smoke rise. Her only chance of surviving the heat broke, and it would take her a while to get it up and running again. She could fix it as she had fixed machines before, but she might not due to the unrelenting heat approaching her room. She realized that the room's temperature was rising, so she got her screwdriver from the desk drawer. She had no time to lose. She carried her chair below the machine. She lifted her left foot to the chair, and then the other, making it an elevation for her to reach the machine. After securing her footing from the chair, she got to work. She examined it to see what kind of screws it was using. Fortunately, the screws had a Philips head and Elsa had brought the appropriate screwdriver. She quickly removed the screws and removed the case. The machine was still smoking inside. She felt a bead of sweat roll down on the side of her face, not a good sign. She coughed at the smoke and at the smell of burnt rubber. She fanned the smoke out with her free hand. After the smoke had cleared up enough for her to see the interior, she examined the mechanism that ran it. What seems to be the problem?
After what it had seemed like hours, she had found the problem at last. The motor that ran the fan inside it had stopped working. It was burnt. She thought about the cause, it came to her that it might be because of her setting it on the maximum setting for a week without a break. She sighed, having lost all her hope of getting it fixed. That air conditioner was new. I need to go and get a new motor or else I'm cooked. She jumped down from her position. She placed her screwdriver and the screws on the desk. I think I have bad luck with fans or anything with a propeller. She thought as she walked to her closet to get some clothes. The mall has a hardware store. Maybe I could get one there. She also realized that she was running out of food stocked. I think I'll go to the grocery store later. It's a good thing the mall has everything I need.
Anna was having a stroll in the park. It was a pleasantly windy and hot afternoon. She was wearing a yellow-green summer dress and green flip-flops with her hair in her usual pigtail braids. She took the chance to go out and see what nature, along with a few florists, had been doing to the park. She saw blanket flowers in the nearby bench. Their flowers had a vivid yellow to red circular gradient. They were beautiful, and Anna's eyes were caught by its beauty. She wanted to pick one to be placed in a vase at home, but a sign forbid her to do so. Saddened, she turned her attention to the bench and sat.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket. She grabbed and opened it. It was a text from Kristoff.
"We are running out of food. Could you go get some more?"
She did bring some money that would be enough to buy them at least three days of food. "Sure. Do you want anything else?" She replied. She had an idea of what Kristoff would say next. She waited a minute and got another text.
"Cheetos :)", he replied.
"Knew it. Kay! :P" Anna smiled as she replied. She tucked her phone back to her pocket. She got up from the bench and walked out of the park and to the mall. It was only a short distance, so Anna got there in about ten minutes.
As she entered the mall's front door, a gust of cool wind blew against her. The mall was kept cooler than the outside. The sudden drop in temperature made her shiver a little, but she simply shrugged it off after. She walked towards the supermarket to buy groceries.
Elsa left the hardware store with a small plastic bag in tow. It was a good thing the store had parts for her air conditioner's model, and she got the motor with ease. She wore a white t-shirt with a black star printed on the chest area, her denim blue jeans, and her blue Chucks. She had made her hair in a loose French braid with her bangs combed back with her fingers. She was dressed casually, and she missed dressing as such. It was summer vacation, a time to loosen up, to relax and enjoy the day, and to be free. This was an opportunity for her to stop caring about what people think of her and just do what she always wanted. She looked at her watch. One o' one. It's still early. Time to do some grocery-shopping. The hardware store was on the top floor of the mall and the supermarket was on the ground floor, so she took the elevator. She was relieved when the elevator was not crowded when she entered. When it reached the ground floor, Elsa walked to the supermarket and grabbed a basket.
After almost an hour of roaming around the market, she had filled her basket with assorted foods and ingredients. She bought potato chips, her favorite, and some soda. She had thought about eating healthy for once, so she also bought some fruits and vegetables. She didn't have a problem with her figure. She just wanted to try it out for a change. I haven't tried making a salad, or soup, or anything that involved vegetables. I guess it won't be too-
Her thoughts were abruptly cut off by an impact with another person on her front. Their eyes snapped shut, much like a reflex action. Their unexpected impact made them drop what they were carrying to the floor with a cacophony of falling tin cans and bags of chips. It scattered along the floor. Elsa opened her eyes, and she saw a girl with her eyes still shut. She has shorter than her by three or four inches. Elsa's eyes wandered on the girl. She noted that she had strawberry-blonde hair. Her face had freckles on her nose and cheeks. Elsa's face began to slowly redden. This girl...
The girl finally opened one eye and saw Elsa. She quickly opened the other, and her eyes widened.
"Oh gosh! I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I'm going..." Anna paused. She looked down and saw the mess. Anna's eyebrows furrowed and her she bit her lip. It was clear that she was nervous. She looked back up again. She stared at the blonde, without a hint of anger. Whoa, she looks...
"It's okay, really," Elsa said as she smiled, her face still red.
The two shared an awkward silence as they nonchalantly examined each other. Anna was the first to speak.
"Let me just get these," she said. She bent down to reach for her scattered groceries. Elsa also followed suit. Their hands were all over the floor, picking up what's theirs and handing them over what's not.
When Anna reached for an apple, Elsa's hands beat her to it. Their hands touched for a moment, and they were like that for a while. Oh my gosh, she's gorgeous. And her skin, it's so smooth. Anna thought. Elsa proceeded to grab the apple, leaving Anna's hand suspended in the air. The redhead began to blush as Elsa let out a small laugh.
"That's mine," she said.
"Oh! Umm... o-okay," Anna stuttered. Her laugh is adorable.
After a while, they finally got their groceries in their baskets. They've said their goodbyes and parted ways. Hmm, it seems to be a bit lighter now. Elsa thought, but she shrugged it off and went to finish shopping.
Anna arrived at their apartment with two paper bags in tow. She was in front of the door. Her hands were full, so she used her elbow to knock. It made a sound more like a thump than a knock, but it still managed to alert Kristoff. He opened the door. He saw Anna, her face hidden behind the paper bags. He took it from her hands and carried it to the kitchen counter. Anna followed suit. He dug his hands into a bag. After a few scans, he got what he wanted: a bag of Cheetos. He grinned in victory as he opened the top in one swift motion. Anna smirked and simply rolled her eyes.
"So, did anything interesting happened?" He asked.
"Well, I bumped into someone at the supermarket." She said. She tucked a lock of hair behind her right ear.
"Who was it? Someone from class?"
"Huh? No, I literally bumped into someone, a girl."
"Oh. Well, did you make her mad or something?"
"No. Well, at least that's what I thought. She didn't yell at me or anything. She was... smiling at me," she said as she looked at the paper bags.
"I see," he said, trying to imagine what happened. "Anyway, you hungry?" He asked.
Elsa slumped herself on her couch with a can of soda in her hand. An electric fan was placed beside her and it was pointed to her at the highest setting. She had already placed her groceries to their respective place in the kitchen. She hadn't changed her clothes. She wanted to wear it a little longer since she won't be able to when summer vacation is over. She didn't have any plans to go outside especially with this heat. She sat there for a while as she finished her drink. When she was done, she stood up and threw the can to the bin. She walked to her room. The air conditioner was still broken. She sighed. Time to fix it then. She walked to her desk to see a pile of screws and a screwdriver.
"Wait a minute. I wasn't carrying the motor after that incident, was I?" she said to herself, having suddenly realized. She slapped her face with her palm so hard, it echoed throughout her apartment. She flopped down to her bed.
"That girl got it!" she was furious. That... cute, kind, touchy girl. Her anger was short-lived as she calmed down with the thought of the girl she just met. Her dress suits her. And her eyes, her blue eyes. It had a hint of green. She's adorable. And her freck—
Her thoughts were cut off by a vibrating phone in her pocket. Who could it be? She grabbed it and unlocked it. It was a text from Rapunzel, her friend.
"Eyy Elsa. What's up?"
"Nothing much. You?" She shifted her body to get more comfortable.
"Same. Can I ask you a favor? I mean, I understand if you're busy."
She gazed at the clock. It was four-thirty.
"Sure. I'm not doing anything. What is it?"
"My cousin needs a bit of help with her laptop. She said it crashed or something. Now it won't start up."
"I see. Let me see if I can fix it." She looked up to the ceiling and thought of the possible causes on how it might crash.
"Thanks! When are you free?"
"I think I'm free by tomorrow." She didn't have anything to do but to play her games.
"Great! Here's her address..." She grabbed a pen and paper from the drawer and took it down. She checked what she was writing if it was correct.
"Okay. I'll be there by 11-ish."
"Thanks! I owe you one. :)"
With that, she set her phone down on the table in front of her. Well, it's not like the air conditioner will be fixed anytime soon. I would call a repairman to do it, but he'll have the same problem as mine. She let out a deep sigh. Besides, I need to get out more. If I keep this up, I might turn into a vampire or something. She grinned at the thought.
She got up and walked to her room to change. She wore a blue tank top and white shorts.
The routine continued that night.
A/N: I didn't expect this chapter to be this long. I just wanted to write more detail. At least it makes up for the short prologues, I think. Anyway, thank you all for the support! This is my first fanfic, and I'm getting good feedback so far. Just to clarify, Elsa is like a master of computers. She knows almost everything about it. But this made her think like a computer too (I know it sounds far-fetched, but it happens). Anna... not so much. Her knowledge in that subject is a little above average. As for the supermarket scene, I was thinking it would be an unusual place for romance. So the last thing in their minds were meeting an attractive girl. This makes it a little interesting, right? Anyway, reviews are always welcome as always. Enjoy!
