Hello! Here is the latest chapter! I do hope you all like it. I apologize for any mistakes.
And thank you for all the reviews and follows and favorites! Love you guys!
For any questions about how I know so much about LA or if I live there or whatever, my only answer is I vacation a lot. I have visited various places in the US.
Please do enjoy!
They had returned to Anna's apartment and were lounging around where Elsa was basking in Anna's happiness. She watched with another adoring smile as the redhead bounced around, her eyes alight with glee and her lips in a seemingly permanent smile. "Elsa! Can you believe it? I actually got the role! We're going to be in a movie together!" Elsa couldn't help but laugh as she leaned back on the couch, showing a rare moment of looking relaxed instead of regal. "Yes indeed, Anna! This is going to be fantastic. I just know it."
Anna nodded and bounded over, plopping herself down onto the couch beside Elsa. The blonde opened up her arms and Anna immediately snuggled up to her, pulling her legs up onto the couch and pressed her face into the crook of her neck. "I can't believe how fortunate I am, Elsa… I got to meet you and now I get to be in a movie with you. My life is too good to be true right now." Elsa chuckled and kissed Anna's forehead, earning a hum of delight from the younger girl.
There was a ping from Anna's pocket and she grumbled about being disturbed during her snuggle time. That earned a smile from the blonde as she watched Anna pull out her phone and read the text. Slowly, a grin began to spread across Anna's face as her eyes once again became alight with happiness and excitement.
"Hans! He made it! He got in! He's going to be in the movie with us!" Elsa couldn't help but grin along, Anna's happiness being incredibly infectious. "That's fantastic, Anna! I'm happy for him too!" Anna grinned at her and flopped back against her, snuggling into Elsa as she typed a reply back to Hans. After a while, Anna shifted and looked up at Elsa. "Hey, Elsa?" There was a hum of acknowledgement from the blonde who had closed her eyes to rest a bit. "Would you like to go out to dinner with me and Hans to celebrate? He's bringing another co-star. The guy he was partnered with."
Elsa opened her eyes and smiled at the puppy dog eyes that Anna was giving her. "I would love to go to dinner with you and meet my fellow co-stars." Anna gave a squeal and gave Elsa a quick peck on the cheek before jumping off the couch. "I'm going to freshen up!" Elsa gave a nod as she grinned and closed her eyes, feeling happier than she has in years.
I'm so happy because of her… It's almost like I'm falling… No. It's too soon, isn't it? Well… I guess I'll just have to see.
Elsa's black Audi RS7 raced down the 710 freeway as they made their way to Long Beach. Hans had suggest Naples Rib Company and Anna immediately began craving the prime rib they had there. Anna sat in the passenger seat, her eyes shining as she looked over to Elsa, taking in the sight of the sun setting and the rays causing Elsa's hair to shine. Elsa glanced back, her blue eyes hidden behind big shades as she smiled. "What is it, Anna? Is there something on my face?"
Anna shook her head and continued to stare dreamily. "You're just so beautiful… Wait, what? Did I just say that out loud?" Elsa laughed and nodded slightly. "Yes you did. I am flattered, dear Anna… but I must say, you're so much more beautiful." This caused the redhead to blush more than she already was. "T-Thank you, Elsa.. but you're beautifuller! I mean not fuller but but… Oh you know what I mean!" Elsa laughed once more, her lips pulled into a grin. "Yes, Anna. I do… Thank you but I still say you're more beautiful! Now no more arguing this today. You know we'll only go in circles and never get anywhere." Her grin had turned into a smirk as Anna pouted but sat in a comfortable silence that was only broken by the low volume of the radio.
Noticing Elsa's hand resting on the gear shifts, Anna tentatively reached out and grabbed her hand gently. Automatically, Elsa turned her hand and laced their fingers together. "No need to be so shy, dear Anna. You can hold my hand whenever you like." Elsa smiled as Anna blushed again, her blue eyes never leaving the road. She gave Anna's hand a gentle squeeze and pulled it up to her lips, giving it a light kiss.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the red-haired man was already waiting at the entrance, a grin on his face as he chatted animatedly to a hulking man with a mop of blonde hair. Anna had immediately bounded up to Hans and hugged him and they both began to gush about what had happened. The two blondes merely looked at the two redheads, laughed and turned to each other.
"Hello. I'm Kristoff Bjorgman. I'll be the ice harvester in the new movie." He said with a grin as he stuck out his hand while sticking the other into his jean pockets. Elsa offered a small smile and took the offered hand, giving it a firm shake. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bjorgman. I'm Elsa Bernhardt. I'll be taking the role of the Snow Queen." Kristoff blushed and rubbed the back of head sheepishly. "Please! Just call me Kristoff… oh boy… Um… I'm sorry but… are you THE Elsa Bernhardt?" She let out a light chuckle, hiding her smile behind her hand as she nodded. "I am that very Elsa Bernhardt… but please. If you insist that I call you Kristoff, I insist that you call me Elsa." He nodded his head and that was when they noticed the excited chatter had stopped.
Turning, they were both met with the gazes of the two excited redheads. "It's great to see you again, Elsa! I see you've met Kristoff!" Elsa nodded and returned the handshake Hans had offered her. They switched places as Elsa made to stand next to Anna and Hans made to stand next to Kristoff. Hans grinned and Anna and pointed at the blonde man. "Well then. Anna Young. This is Kristoff Bjorgman. He will be playing the ice harvester!" Anna grinned and stuck out her hand to take Kristoff's offered one. "It's nice to meet you, Kristoff! I hope we have a great time!" Kristoff grinned back and nodded. "Yea! I'm super excited!"
Someone called Hans' name and he gestured for the group to move into the restaurant. "Come on guys. I'm starving and those ribs sound amazingly delectable right about now." Everyone laughed and made their way inside, attempting not to notice the stares they earned with Hans AND Elsa being in their group. Feeling slightly uneasy, with all the attention, Elsa reached out and grabbed Anna's hand, lacing their fingers together once more. Hans had glanced back to make sure the group was still together when he noticed the two. A soft smile crossed his lips as he turned back to the front.
You deserve this, Anna. More than I can ever say.
As soon as they were seated, Hans and Anna began to argue about appetizer what to get while Kristoff and Elsa looked at what entrees they wanted. Deciding to leave the other two to decide the appetizer seemed to not have been a good idea since it seemed war was about to be declared. Shifting slightly, Elsa placed a hand on Anna's shoulder while Kristoff did the same to Hans. "Anna, dear… why don't we get the sample platter? We get a bit of everything." Elsa suggested with a light giggle as she took in the sight of the pouting redhead. Kristoff was attempting the same with Hans only to receive a humph.
After a bit of convincing, both redheads agreed to it and they moved on to entrees. Elsa and Anna decided to both get the prime rib while the two men decided to get ribs. Once the orders were placed, Hans and Anna immediately launched into details of their auditions with Anna gushing about how Elsa had surprised her and how they had sung together and everything. Hans and Kristoff listened with rapt attention as Elsa blushed slightly when Anna had spoken about her singing. Elsa had, in turn, told a bit of the story from her point of view… just not as animated as Anna was.
After their story, Hans began to tell his while Anna and Elsa listened intently. They laughed when Hans told of how Kristoff had gotten flustered when he found out his audition partner was going to be none other than Hans Sutherland. But in the end, both had done an incredible job together and the both had more in common than they though. They had found out merely 30 minutes after their auditions ended. From then on, they had took time to really get to know each other which led to Anna and Elsa being invited to dinner with them.
Anna perked up and looked curiously at Hans and Kristoff. "Say… what did you two sing for your individual auditions?" She asked as she narrowed her eyes at Hans. She was cautious about what he had chosen. He grinned at her and cocked an eyebrow at her. "Me? Oh well… I was debating between 'I Feel Pretty' from Westside Story and 'Me' from Beauty and the Beast. I ended up singing 'Me' because… well… it's me!" He spread his arms before laughing and shaking his head. "I'm kidding. I just thought it would be fun. I've always loved the Beauty and the Beast musical."
Their attention turned to Kristoff who sat there silently, a light blush covering his face. Anna leaned back into her chair with a small smirk on her face. "So, Kristoff… what did YOU sing?" Kristoff merely coughed a little and looked away, his light blush blossoming into a full blown one. He mumbled something and Anna leaned closer, her brow scrunching up. "Couldn't hear you there, Kristoff! Come again?" He huffed and looked back at her, a playful scowl on his face. "I sang 'Thank You For the Music' from Mamma Mia! I love that musical, okay?" He huffed again and turned away. Anna held her grin for a second before laughing and nodding her head. "Hey! I'm not judging! That's great! That song is really hard to sing."
And just like that, the four of them got acquainted with each other quite quickly. Everyone had hit it off and were chatting like old friends by the end of dinner. They had bid each other farewell after talking well into the night with Hans and Kristoff parting ways together while Anna went with Elsa, arms hooked together.
Their drive back was a lot quicker than their drive there but that was to be expected since it was already nearly midnight. They sat in silence for most of the ride, Anna content with watching the passing scenery. Usually, silence was seen as an awkward thing but in this car, both occupants were content. Their hands were laced together as KOST 103.5 played in the background. It was a perfect night, if Anna was to label it.
They arrived at Anna's home way too quickly and Elsa had insisted on walking Anna to the door. As Anna made to unlock the door, she felt arms encircle her waist and a light kiss was pressed to the back of her head. "You were amazing today, Anna… and I'm just so happy that I get to star opposite you. This is going to be amazing." Anna stilled her movements for a second before turning around in the embrace and pulling the older woman into a fierce hug, nuzzling into the crook of her neck. "I'm so happy too, Elsa. I just… I can't thank you enough. Just knowing you were there helped boost my confidence and I just… I felt like I could do anything."
She pulled away and looked up to meet the icy blue eyes shining with adoration and… something else while her own aquamarine ones shone with gratitude. "I'll see you soon then, Anna?" Anna nodded her head, her eyes never leaving the blondes. "We should go out again… before we do the first reading." Anna proposed, leaning up a bit closer as Elsa leaned down, nodding slightly. Feeling a bit bolder at that moment, Anna leaned up the rest of the way and placed a soft but lingering kiss on the edge of Elsa's lips. "Thank you… I'll text you tomorrow." She whispered against the cool skin of the blonde's cheek before placing another chaste kiss on the soft cheek and disappearing into her apartment. Elsa stood in front of the door in a daze for a good minute.
Slowly, a goofy grin that was so unlike the ice queen began to spread on the blonde's red lips as she slowly made her way back to her car. Tonight was a good night. This movie was going to be fantastic… Anna Young is fantastic.
Oh how I wish I can hold you and kiss you and love you an- wait, what? Love her? I barely know her!
Giving a sigh and shaking her head, Elsa started her engine and began to head home to the cold and lonely bed. She was going to miss how the redhead snuggled into her… Which was odd since she never did like physical contact and made sure that everyone knew that. But that redhead seemed to have broken all those rules within the first day.
Anna Young… you truly are remarkable.
Its been nearly a week and both girls had been too busy to actually meet up. Skype calls and text messages were exchanged occasionally but with Elsa's busy schedule and Anna's semi-busy schedule, both girls had failed to plan a second date. Surprisingly, it was raining in Los Angeles and the forecaster predicted that it would continue to rain for a few days. The temperature had dropped, leaving the City of Angeles' occupants shivering in the low 60s. Due to California's constant warm weather, the low 60s were quite cold and had the city dwellers bundled up.
Anna placed a beanie over her red hair and sighed as she looked in the mirror. Her hair was down today to allow the beanie to sit comfortably while a red scarf was wrapped around her neck. Checking herself over once more, she nodded to herself before picking up her purse and heading out the door. Her agent had asked her to go in and grab pick up her script.
She huffed as quickly made her way to her car, frowning as the rain continued to pelt down. Throwing herself into the car, she huffed again as she started the car and immediately turned on the heater. Waiting for her car to warm up, she pulled out a a random CD case and popped the disc in. Celtic Woman started to play and she hummed, smiling softly to herself. She's always loved Celtic Woman… their music was so beautifully sung. The bonus was she actually saw their Believe concert live at the Nokia Theater. Not to mention how incredibly close Lisa Lambe was during Téir Abhaile Riú. Anna had touched her hand! They also did a Broadway tribute. That had sold it for her. She was in love with Celtic Woman.
She was lost in her happy memories when her phone gave a ping, signaling a message. She picked it up and gave a start. A text from Liara reminding her not to be late. She giggled and placed her phone down, shaking her head. Her agent knew how easily distracted she was and texted her to make sure she didn't daze off and lose track of time. She drove down Sunset Boulevard, being extra careful and trying to avoid heavy traffic… which was nearly impossible here in LA.
She had made it into Liara's office with minimal water damage to her beanie and coat. As she opened the door, she was pulling off her beanie and didn't notice the other redhead in the room. "Hey, Liara. Sorry I'm a bit late. Traffic, you know? Plus, I saw this kitten on the way up. It was sitting in a car and it was so cute and- Oh! Jane! I'm sorry. Didn't see you there. How are you? It's good to see you again! Where's Liara?" The other redhead merely grinned her crookedly handsome grin. "She went to the restroom. But it's good to see you again, Anna. Still rambling, I see?" Anna blushed at the memory of when she first met her agent and her then girlfriend turned wife, Jane Shepherd. Liara T'Soni was so beautiful and Jane Shepherd was so devilishly handsome that Anna couldn't stop her blushing and rambling.
Anna had finally taken a seat and the two redheads had begun sharing a friendly banter when the door opened and Liara poked her head inside. "I thought I heard incredibly loud laughter from in here. Should have known to never leave the both of you alone." She grinned as she stepped back into her office and closed the door. Making her way over to where Jane sat, she kissed her wife lovingly before swatting at her to get out of her chair. Jane laughed as she made for the couch, flopping down like a fish. For a commander, she was sometimes quite childish… and that made Anna like her even more.
Liara sat down with a happy sigh before reaching into a drawer and pulling out a manilla envelope. "Here you go, Anna." Taking the package, Anna's eyes scrunched up in confusion. "What is this? Did something new come in that I didn't know about?" She slowly opened the envelope, feeling how heavy it was. It felt like a book… but she never ordered a book. Liara merely shook her head as she suppressed a chuckle while Jane openly snickered.
Reaching into the package, Anna grasped a thick book and frowned while pulling it out. "What in the world is th-" She stopped mid sentence as she stared at the plain white book with big bold letters on the front. The Disney logo was, as always, the same cute writing but the title itself looked like the words were carved out of ice. Chipped and flawed in certain areas but no less beautiful.

All Anna could do was sit there with her mouth gaping. This was the first time she held an actual script book in her hands. Then it hit her. She was going to play the lead. She was going to get a whole bunch of screen time. People are going to KNOW her. They are going to want pictures with her and call out her name when she walks down the red carpet. She didn't dream of the attention. Oh no. She dreamed of getting a role that little girls will look up to. She wanted to get a role that will inspire others like he actors and actresses inspired her. Her dream was to give the gift of inspiration… and her dream was about to become reality.
Uhh... Please don't kill me about not putting Hans' and Kristoff's audition process in here. If you guys want, I can write an extra chapter detailing it. :)
The title and everything of the Final Shooting Draft for Frozen was what I found on the net... So if theres anything off about that, I'm sorry. I also decided to stray from Hans singing what Santino Fontana for the actual auditions. I thought "Me" from Beauty and the Beast fit his character a bit too. LOL And I didn't know what Jonathan Groff sang for his so I chose "Thank You For The Music" which he did sing for a cabaret.
As you can see, I do love Celtic Woman (saw them live. It was incredible) and Naples Ribs Company (delicious).
To the two Guest who have asked me to marry them because I love Disney and play Mass Effect... If I knew who you are, I may consider? LOL But yes... I do play Mass Effect and Final Fantasy and Skyrim and etc etc and I do love Disney. :) And Fang MIGHT make an appearance. MAYBE.
Sorry for the long Author's Note! You guys are awesome. Please R&R~!
