Yep I'm pretty sure I died. I actually had this finished I just didn't post it. I start my standardized tests this week. Joy. In an unrelated note I went to prom. First slow dance and with my crush too. Life's good.
Shimmershine007- ya it's been a month sorry.
JewelariaRosha- you really should be a motivational speaker. That was like poetry.
Nunay- yes those are things they would usually do but why would I be normal. Plus I've never played spin the bottle and I've only watched truth or dare.
Chapter 19: If all goes well
To find your first clue go to the place that has four legs, but does not run." Oh great a riddle. Why does he feel like having me do a scavenger hunt? Oh whatever it couldn't hurt. Now four legs? Well, I have two and am the only living thing here. Living. So it's not alive."
She walked around her living room looking for anything with four legs. She set her book on the table. A table, of course. What a simple question. She looked around it. There was an envelope taped to the underside of it. She pulled it off and read, " That one was easy but no more. dropping from the sky, more beautiful than rain, no two with ever be the same, but don't look to the sky. It's the largest one you'll find." What the. It dawned on her that there might be hundreds of these riddles she would have to solve and for what? It wouldn't surprise her if it all lead to something simple like a cupcake on her bed. It was nice though. She never really got to play games like this when she was young. Sure she would have loved to do this with Anna, but there was the whole accident thing. "Maybe I overreacted. Even if I didn't, I should at least check in with her. Now's not the time for that though. What did that riddle say? Something about dropping from the sky?" She read it again. She made a mental list of things that fell from the sky. Meteorites, birds, stars, planes, UFOs. No two would ever be the same, but she hardly considered any of them beautiful. She really didn't understand more beautiful than rain though. Rain falls from the sky, but it's obviously not rain. Snow. That's it. Now what was that last part. Don't look to the sky, largest you'll find. So, large and ground. Largest snow on the ground. She knew exactly where to look. She went to the center of the castle where she initially made her castle with a giant snowflake.
"How's she doing?" Jack said. He had been on edge since he sent the first riddle to her. He didn't know if she would even play along with it. He needed to know.
Holly was talking to another fairy in the corner. It hadn't been to long since the first one left to give Elsa the letter. They had been flying in and out of there since like wildfire. Each with a new report on how Elsa was handling the riddles. "She is about to start the third. Had the first two done in record time."
"That's my girl. I knew she could figure it out." He looked out the window lost in thought. This was it. The day he asked her, and it would be in a few hours.
Rosie had been practically screaming in delight ever since the first note was sent. This was her life's work. Sure, she dealt with others, but this one was her favorite. Heck, she could write a book about it, but she could do that later. She needed to help Jack get ready. " So, what are you wearing?"
He gestured to his body suggesting that he was going to wear what he usually wore.
"You have to be kidding me." Rosie said aghast.
"What's wrong with..."
"Holly, look at this. He thinks he can wear what he usually wears to propose to her."
She turned and looked him over. "As much as I hate to say it she's right, Jack. You look like a homeless person who was attacked by a rabid animal. Your pants are torn, your jacket is fraying, and you don't wear shoes. " She went back to talking to the fairies.
"I'm impressed. Very creative yet still hurtful." He had worn these same clothes...forever really. He did look a little mangy.
"And true. Do you really want to propose to her like that? Well, it doesn't matter what you think because I will never let it happen." Rosie said.
"Then what do you want me to wear?"
"Glad you asked. I have a few ideas here." She handed him a sketch book full of pictures of either him or Elsa. He flipped through the pages and thought he even saw a wedding dress in there with a date from twenty years ago.
"Are you going to plan the wedding to? Seeing as you've had it planed since she was born."
"I have not had it planed since she was born. I've had it planed since she was four. Don't avoid this. Just pick one."
"How about this?" He pointed to light blue almost white dress shirt with intricate snowflake designs on it, tucked out of beige pants with actual shoes.
"Lovely. I'll make it myself." Rosie said. In a snap she was done with her creation. "There you go. Now hop to it lover boy."
"Thank you. It has been great working with all of you, and I will treasure this time spent..."
The fairy Holly was talking to flew away and she said, " Yeah yeah, we're fantastic and all that crap. Just go."
"Ok. See you forever if all goes well."
Yeah not really a game but ok. I was going to do hide and sneak and it morphed into this. I do feel bad I didn't do this earlier. You got it eventually so be happy.
