Finishing a perfect 2.5 revolution axel jump on her 3 turn looping, Elsa felt her heart fluttering with joy. I'm so close to getting a triple for my spin. With all the things she was now avoiding to do or get away from, ice skating was the one thing she would make time for. She didn't like practicing in the ice skating ring at the Rec center, unless her parent bought it out for her. And even then she would ask them not to watch her. Feeling some one else watch her made her really nervous.
The way she found a place to practice was by herself when she nine and went running through the woods. She wasn't running in fear of anything it was just this incentive that caused her to do it.
She made it a good way into the woods when she found a pretty good sized pond. Being the middle of summer she though nothing of it and didn't tell her parents. But later that winter she went back and found that the entire thing had frozen over. At the time she didn't know how to ice skate but she ventured onto the slippery surface to see what it was like.
But things turned for the worse when she made it to the center of the pond and fell down unable to get back up. The more she struggle to get up the more she fell. Panic settled in as she screamed for her parents. Falling and hitting her head fairly hard she sat there and cried into her legs and thought she would never see her parents or anyone ever again. It was the first time she had ever felt truly alone, and it wasn't the last. Time went by and as dusk fell she knew no one knew where she was.
It wasn't until she had decided to give it one more try that she felt something change.
Wiping tears from her face and balancing her self she stood up and looked around. It had started snowing and the scenery around her was beautiful. She looked around in amazement. It seemed the snow was swirling around her as if to hug and be there for her. She hadn't notice that the wind was pushing very slowly. When she looked down and saw that she was moving, fear started to settle in but the snow graciously seemed to brush against her skin and calm her down.
She giggle as the snow swirled around her. Moving one of legs, she started to pivot and push her self across the ice. Not wearing any skates she still managed to skate her way back to edge of the pond and walk back to her house. After that she convinced her parents to buy her skates.
Now, being seventeen, she was pulling off all kinds of maneuvers and tricks. It would give her the feeling of achievement and happiness, something she needed now more than ever. Never pushing her self to be better like with her grades and appearance, ice skating gave her the feeling of letting everything go and not worry about what other people might say.
If some one where watching her things might play out differently but no one was and it didn't matter. Making her back to were Marshmallow was laying down she did another axel spin, landing backwards on her left foot she held her right leg behind her brought it up above her head and arched her back. Releasing the hold she still skated backwards and brought her right leg in front of her and tucked herself down. She spun and graciously brought her self up and still keeping her right leg up, she brought it behind as she stopped spinning and glided forwards with her arms extended and leaning forward.
Marshmallow barked and wagged his tail as Elsa came back to iced shore line. "What do you think Marsh?" He barked again and she giggle ,"That's what I thought." She sat beside him and took out her phone. It was almost 5:30 and the sun was starting set, leaving the sky scorched with red and orange colors. Looking out on the blue ice covered pond the extremely reflected parts of the pond seemed to look fire from the ski. Elsa looked over to see the mountain Rocky Mountains to her right. Each looking like the tips of ice sickles being put into the fire of the sky.
"Sometimes I wish someone would find me, and accept me." She knew that if anyone did find her that nerves and fear would set in before she could show anyone. "Han's is...I don't even...I don't know what he wants anymore." She tried thinking of something else. "I don't even know the last time I've seen that girl Anna. She seemed so hell bent to help with what she called being shy. I guess you call it that." Marshmallow got up and laid down in front of her, looking up with adoring eyes.
She sighed and petted the top of his. She took out a cigarette from her pocket and light it. Marshmallow whimpered and walked away from her. Loosing how good she felt before regret filled her body as she felt tears stream down her face. "At least it's not weed." She looked at her dog, who only looked back at her with pleading eyes. "I'm trying." She said raising her voice. Marshmallow only looked at her this time with what seemed to be disappointment.
"I can't help it!" She yelled. "What am I supposed to. Hans keeps giving me this shit and expects me do it." Feeling a sudden burst of rage. "FUCK THIS." She threw the cigarette away and crashed down into the snow.
She felt Marshmallow nudge her back with his nose. But she didn't turn to see him. "I hate him. But I have to love. Anna may be...gay, but know one else knows but her friends and me. I don't even think I'm good enough to know. And what if all of a sudden I broke up with him and tried to pursue these stupid feelings. No one in that fucking school is gay and the last time something like this happened it nearly destroyed to school." She heard Marshmallow lay next to her. "I don't need this now. Lets go home Marshmallow." As she got up with him she said she was sorry.
On the way back the only thing she thought was how Anna was so accepting of being gay. How can she? Is even natural to like girls. She hugged herself as she thought about it. I'm not that way, and I'll never be that way. If I need Hans to do it so be it. Anna might be trying but I don't know how long she will keep trying. Hopefully not for long because I don't need friends. I just need myself.
But the following weeks would prove different.
Merida and Anna were in Kristoff's car. It was there tenth date just in the past two weeks and this time they were on their way to see the new Robocop movie. They had seen the original a while back before they were dating and loved it. For weeks they would say some to the catch lines from the movie, like "I'd by that for a dollar", "Come quietly or there will be...trouble", or "Your move, creep." Of course there friends saw the both of them as giant dorks but it was a fun joke that lasted nearly a year."
"I'm telling you it will be nothing like the original. For Christ's sake it has a PG-13 rating, Anna and remakes are always bad, just look at The Karate Kid or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
"So, it could still be good. With modern graphics and a cool badass look for Robocop I have my hopes."
"Well those hopes will die faster than Murphy did." Anna and Merida started laughing while Kristoff rolled his eyes.
"Merida has a point Anna. If you need more proof look at Conan the Barbarian and Planet of the Apes. They were pretty bad remakes."
"They had there moments guys. Mark Wahlberg was in Planet of the Apes and it had good twist." Anna said sincerely.
"Yah okay sure Anna." Kristoff said sarcastically. "What about Conan?" Kristoff raised his eyebrow and adjusted his mirror to look back at Anna.
"It had cool graphics." She said confidently.
Merida and Kristoff both laughed while Anna sat there still holding her chin high.
"Holy shit you're serious." Merida said after calming down a bit.
"No, you can't be serous Anna, really!?" Kristoff said
"Yah I am serous guys. Those movies have there moments. You agree with me Alice, don't you?"
Alice, who had been silent up to this point, had been Kristoff's date to Anna's small concert. They had dated a lot more after that and were know in a pretty good relationship.
"I have to agree with Anna. With The Karate Kid it was nice to see a little back story with the Karate teacher and in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory the songs were more...uhm...diverse, I guess you could say."
"See what you did Anna, you turned my girlfriend against me." Kristoff looked over at Alice and smiled at her.
"Oh well Kristoff. The score is even but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna win."
"In your dreams sister." Merida said. "I'm gonna win because I don't loose.'
"Oh those are fighting words Anna. You gonna take that sitting down." Alice said.
"I don't think she stand that seatbelt is pretty strong." Kristoff and Alice laughed while Anna sat up to poke her head into the front of the car..
"Seatbelt or not, I can beat Merida in any fight any day." Before Merida could reply Anna added. "Just the other day she tried to tackle me in the snow again. Only to get another face full and shirt full of snow."
"What you got to say about that Merida." Kristoff readjusted his mirror to now face Merida.
She thought for a couple seconds before getting a large grin on her face. "I think you just did that to see my bra covered tits again." Anna's face immediately got cherry red and her mouth hung open only to find no words.
Kristoff pulled on the collar of his shirt and Alice turned back around, wide eyed and a little red.
"So uhm..." Kristoff readjusted his mirror to look back at Anna, but seeing Anna's red face caused him to burst out laughing. He tried calming himself down to focus on driving, but every time an image of Anna's red face would cause another episode of laughing.
Confused at Kristoff's burst of sudden laughter,"What's so funny?" Alice said looking back in the back seat to see a very pleased, and laughing, Merida. Looking at the now humiliated Anna she still didn't get what so funny. "Kristoff why are you laughing so hard? Is there something I'm not seeing here." Being somewhat relatively new to Kristoff's friends, Alice didn't know Anna was not so easily embarrassed.
Merida's crossed her and sat back in her seat a little knowing she had just embarrassed the most gladdened person she knew. While Anna sat slumped in her seat and tried hiding her burning cheeks by looking at the window. Merida knew she had gotten Anna pretty good.
She didn't notice how Anna stared at her after getting a shirt full of snow the first but she did the second time.
After tearing off her jacket she and unbuttoning her shirt she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Anna's eyes were starring at her but not just at her at a more specific area. While still dancing around and wiping snow of her body, it took a couple moments to figure out what Anna's eyes were glued to. After though she made the connection and actually made a little show for Anna, you know just because. It was anything too erotic or showy, just swaying her hips a bit more and having her hands cup her breasts and graciously slide down her body once in a while. It was difficult to do while being covered in snow and being really cold but it was enough to make Anna's mouth hang open and drool over, but it was nothing special.
Looking at Anna now, her face was completely red, enough to almost hide her freckles, Merida continued. "What's out the window Anna? Thinking about my rather perfect boobs." Anna turned her head even further into the window. "Yoohoo, this is not the time to be thinking about my tits Anna."
Merida reached over and tickled Anna just below her rib-cage. "Helloooo!?"
Anna slapped Merida's hand away and now feeling a rush of anger she spun around and spat out, "Stop for fuck's sake!"
But that only made Kristoff and Merida laugh even harder. Anna growled and turned her head back at the window. Kristoff had been laughing so hard he had almost pulled of the rode.
It shut them all up when the sound of wheels hit the the bumpy dirt and grass making the car jump. It was enough for Anna to lose some of the redness in her face and, enough to stop Kristoff's out of control laughter. "Jesus Kristoff, pay attention." Alice said bitterly. "I don't get what you guys where laughing at but what ever it is, you better stop before Anna gets pissed and we get into an accident." Alice cautioned.
"They already crossed that line." Anna said regaining some of her humor.
"Oh come on Anna I'm only kidding." Merida gave Anna a small nudge on the shoulder.
"Whatever." Cooling down a bit from her anger, Anna also managed to loose the red from her cheeks entirely. "It wasn't for that by the way. It was to teach you a lesson." Anger still coated her voice but some playfulness could still be heard, until...
"On how to make you horny." Merida shot back. Kristoff started laughing again.
Anna's face blushed once again and she was almost at a complete loss of words, only this time anger didn't come to her. "No, uhh, for, uhm. The lesson was to uhh, to teach you ahhh. It was to teach you some uhh."
As Anna continued to try and find her words Merida continued while Kristoff tried to explain to Alice, who still didn't get it, what was so funny about everything that was happening.
Putting a seductive tone into her voice Merida said "What, cat got your tongue?" Merida brought her pointer finger up to Anna's chin and curled her finger under it, bring Anna closer to Merida. Their lips inches from touching. Anna could just barely feel Merida's hot breath brush against her lips, sending shivers down her spin. Her eyes jumping around and eventually locking onto Merida's.
Continuing with her seductive tone, "Come one say something back, get a little angry, it's kind of," Merida turned Anna's head and whispered into her ear, "Sexy." Anna's mouth opened but now words came out and her mouth felt extremely dry. Merida had moved her hand onto Anna's cheek and brought Anna's head closer as she turned Anna's head to face her again. Her lips nearly touching Anna's now.
Anna could feel her heart beating out of her chest. Her breathing became shortened, and she started to feel sweat roll down her back and forehead. Her eyes started to jump back and forth between Merida's lips and eyes.
Looking into Merida's eyes Anna's mind went blank and the only thing she could do was slowly close her eyes and lean in and close the extremely close distance between her lips and Merida's. Bring slightly shaking hand up to cup Merida's cheek, she reopened her eyes as there lips closed the small space between them.
But the sound of Kristoff putting the car into park tore Anna's head away at the very last possible second. "That's why it was so funny."
Merida's and Anna's hands fell back to there sides. Anna looked at her trembling hand to distract herself from the almost kiss. She could feel Merida's eyes burning through her with glee.
"Oh okay, now I get it." Alice said.
"That was too funny Merida. I nearly pissed myself." Kristoff said.
"That's gross Kristoff, but true, good one Merida." Alice said.
Keeping a sly smile "Thank you. Got anything to say Anna, or do you wanna just sit there and look stupid." Kristoff chuckled this time.
Shaking her head, now feeling her ego drop a bit and being pretty flustered, she managed to say, "You know what you guys, you're all scumbags, you're a scumbag" She pointed at Merida, "And scumbags see the judge on Monday morning. Now get out of this car and take your laughing with you." Merida started laughing while Kristoff and Alice furrowed their brows, not getting the paraphrased reference.
Getting out of the car and taking Merida's hand Anna felt something different. Something that made her stomach get butterflies and form a smile across her face. Talking there way inside, every time she would look at Merida, something would feel different. It would make Anna's heart jump a couple beats but it would have a feeling being of warmth and happiness.
Even though Merida had managed to royally piss her off, the moment after word was something completely different and heart racing.
Making there way into the theatre Anna stopped thinking about what had happened and tried to focus on the tragedy of a movie that unfolded before her eyes. Hollywood what are you doing.
Now after the movie Anna was sitting alone at a table texting and waiting for everyone to come sit down. Merida had to go to the bathroom and Kristoff and Alice were off buying food at the food court Anna was sitting at.
Rapunzel: Now friken way!
Anna: Yah she almost kissed me :0
Remembering the moment made Anna's smile grew even bigger.
Rapunzel: That's great. What led up to it?
Anna: Too much to say by just txting.
Rapunzel: You and Kristoff better tell me Monday, or there will be...trouble.
Anna: LOL and we will And I have to admit, this remake was bad.
She continued to text Rapunzel for a while. She didn't even notice the tall and muscular auburn hard guy sit across from her at the table. He was fairly well dressed in Timberlin boots and blue denim jeans, with a white t-shirt and crimson leather jacket.
But Anna didn't notice him and for awhile he just awkwardly starred at her with a grin on his face.
Anna: She doesn't need to know now.
Rapunzel: The longer you wait the harder it's gonna be to tell her.
Anna: I know I know I know. UGH. :(
"Hey red." Said a pretty rude voice. But Anna ignored it and continued to text. "Hey" The voice said a little harsher.
Looking up Anna saw him. Only she wasn't impressed and a little annoyed at this guy. She put her phone in her pocket put a smile on. "Sorry. Can I help you."
"No, put you can help me." His harsh tone was replaced with a casual and monotonous one.
"Help you with what." She said tilting her head curiously.
"At explaining why a beautiful girl like you is sitting alone on a Saturday night." His grin on his face grew a little broader and he leaned back.
"Well I'm waiting for my friends and..."
"Well forget your friends for while and spend the night with me. I can show you a couple things around this dump that are more...exciting." The grin on his face practically beamed at Anna.
"I don't think my date would like that."
"Oh just tell him that you'll be back. You had do something real quick. I don't think he'll mind." He leaned in from his chair and took Anna's hand, gently stroking her hand with his thumb.
"Actually..." She started to pull her hand back, feeling a little creeped out by this guy. You're weird dude.
"Come on, I make in worth your while." He winked at her and then she realized what he was trying to do, and what he really wanted to do. Figures.
Feeling really uncomfortable now, she went to get up, "Okay I think I got to go..." Like a few miles from you.
Getting up with her he said, "Okay where to. I know a good place for a meal just down the street. I can take you in my Mercedes. It has really comfy leather seats." He walked over next to her and went to put his arm over her shoulder.
Catching his arm and lifting it above her head and taking a few steps back, "No I'm good. But you should leave right now." She started to step away but he was right next to her again.
"I don't think so gorgeous. You're way to good looking to go anywhere by yourself."
God you're really getting on my nerves. Typical hunk looking for one thing. Asshole. She straightened her back and with a demanding and intimidating voice, "Back off. I'm not interested."
"Feisty, I like that." Oh my god you can't be serous.
Rolling her eyes, "Go away, I'm not interested."
He chuckled, "Sure you are just calm down and follow me."
"Ugh, fuck no. I'd rather spend my night sitting home alone, with nothing to do but watch the news."
"Okay then we can watch it together." JESUS. What's with this guy.
"Get your over grown hands off me asshole and leave me alone." She was really mad now and if he kept it up she would loose it.
"Just calm down. I'm just asking you to spend some of the night with me." His charming and relaxed voice had no affect on Anna what so ever. And it really turned him on.
She started to clench her fists, "I'm really warning you."
"Oh come on." He tried putting his arm around her again but she grabbed his arm, and starred at him dead in the eyes.
"I'm really fucking warning you." She snarled.
But that just made him grin even more and to her unknowing, really turning him on. She wrestled with his arms for a bit. Being as strong as she was, he was a lot stronger and she was beginning to loose the battle.
"Hey Anna where'd you go." Kristoff said.
Thank god. She knew of it weren't for Kristoff, she would have punched they guy straight in his face. "Kristoff." She yelled.
The guy let go of her and slipped away when she left his side.
"Where did you go?" He said innocently.
"We're leaving." She commanded.
"Why?"
"Because some asshole tried to hit on me and it really pissed me off. I just need to get out of here."
Seeing the anger built up inside her Kristoff told Alice, what was up with Anna and said they were going to eat in the car.
"What about Merida?" Alice asked.
"When she comes back, I tell her my mom will cook something up for us."
After waiting for Merida the four of them made it to Kristoff's car. Driving off, Kristoff and Merida knew not to mess with Anna when she was this angry, unlike before when they were in the car before. So they just sat there listening to her vent about the ass hat that tried to hit on her and get more than just a date. When she was done, all of them felt disgusted and angry at the guy the guy.
"I'll kick his ass if I see him Anna." Kristoff said.
"Not if I get to him. No one messes with my date." Anna felt herself smile and loose some of her anger.
When Kristoff dropped Merida and Anna of, he was still pretty pissed but he was going to spend more time with Alice seeing it was 8:27. When Merida and Anna went into the house her mother asked how there time was and made them a steak for dinner and told them if was too romantic for just two friends. If only you knew mom, but now's not the time.
When she was done she told them she was going to bed and if Merida wanted she could spend the night, which she did. And for the remainder of the night the girls watched to original Robocop and it's sequels. They sat together with Merida's head on Anna's should and Anna's head leaned against Merida's.
Anna was sitting with her legs down while Merida curled hers up to her chest and together they watched the movies. Making sure not to fall asleep like that they eventually slept on the couch one on the couch and one in the chair. It was a good end to a night that went pretty well, even if some asshole tried to get more than just a date with Anna.
