Normal POV

Anna was back to school and in all honesty, she was happy that Cassandra wasn't parading around and making her life a living hell. Elsa also moved back in the mansion just like she said she would but the girl didn't adress to her older sibling at all. The only good thing in Elsa moving back is Duchess. The cat was fast at finding his own repairs and it looks like it has a liking to the huge garden.

As for Anna, she didn't change her routine. Kai takes her to school and picks her up even though Elsa told her that it wasn't necessary since they could go together. Elsa would make dinner just like she used to, much to Gerda's surprise and Anna, still refusing to eat what her sister cooks, keeps making herself noodles or she'd just order take outs.

Elsa thinks that if she continues that way, they will soon be out of Kabuto noodles.

'' Why are you so gloomy? '' Rapunzel asked as Anna laid her cheek down on the table, resting her whole body on the cold surface.

After taking the girl to Oaken for lunch, Rapunzel offered to help Anna with her works and that's why they were both sitting in the outdoor patio of the mansion. Though now they were done and Anna has been oddly quiet.

'' Am not. ''

'' Of course you're not. ''

'' I'm fine Punzie, chill. ''

'' Does that have something to do with Elsa moving in? ''

Anna glanced at the brunette through her bangs and stood up with a sigh before walking over to the pool to sit down on the edge, dipping her bare feet in the water.

'' So that's it. '' Rapunzel concluded. Standing up as well, she joined the girl by the pool and sat legs crossed next to her. She watched as Anna made small patterns in the water. '' Hey. '' She placed a hand on her back.

'' Hmm? ''

'' It's a good thing that Elsa moved in, right? ''

Anna shrugged slightly. '' I don't know... she can do whatever she wants. She could have moved with Jack and Cassandra for all I care. ''

'' You don't think that. ''

'' I do. '' Anna replied and then she added in a whisper. '' Or maybe I don't. ''

'' You're still mad at her and I can understand that but don't shut her out. She moved back here for you right? ''

'' She moved because she- ''

'' She moved back for you. '' Rapunzel repeats firmly. '' And you know that. ''

Anna's head turned towards her so fast that she thought her neck would snap. '' So what? Am I supposed to forgive her just like that? ''

'' No. The choice is yours but I know that you need Elsa just as much as she needs you. Only you both inherited the Arendelle stubborness and sometimes I wonder who is the most affected between you and her. ''

'' That's not true, I don't need her! ''

'' I don't believe that and you know why? ''

Anna huffed and crossed her arms. '' Do tell. ''

Rapunzel smiled. '' I've never seen you so happy until you two made up and that goes for Elsa too. She was always so serious and it annoyed me, I almost forgot how she looks like when she smiles but then you came along. You made each other happy. ''

'' Yeah that was until the Frost siblings came along too. ''

'' And now they're gone. You know, I believe these are obstacles life throws at you, not to break you but to see how much you can endure without breaking. ''

Anna frowned, trying to read between the lines. '' You're cheating, you're using brainy quotes and that's not fair. ''

Rapunzel grinned and patted her head playfully. '' Life is about bending with the wind, not fighting it. ''

'' Yeah yeah and now you'll tell me that I should dance with the rain instead of trying to find a shelter or something like that. ''

'' If you want to get wet, that is.''

'' Sure I can do that. '' Anna smirked sliding in the pool and pulled Rapunzel with her, getting the both of them soaked with their clothes still on.

'' Anna! '' Rapunzel gasped, spitting water as she came back to the surface. She heard the girl laughing while trying to swim to get away from her as fast as she could. '' Oh no you don't! '' She went after her.

'' Try to catch me, you goofnut! ''

'' Anna come back here this instant! ''

'' As if. '' Anna kept laughing while making Rapunzel swim after her in circle. She was fast and even Rapunzel couldn't deny it and soon she started cursing under her breath about the insane size of the pool.

Both of them failed to notice Elsa watching them from the balcony of her bedroom that gave to a full view of the grand backyard and patio.

Days passed and Elsa felt like Anna was more and more distant with her, the girl would spend most of her times with Rapunzel when she wasn't with her friends and for some reasons, it bothers her. When Elsa would make an attempt to make a conversation, Anna would place a few 'uh huh' or 'hmm' here and there but she could handle them. It was better than silence.

And today, when Elsa saw Anna with Adam Scott, she didn't ask herself where the boy has been all this time he wasn't at school, she didn't care after all. No. Elsa simply walked towards them and pulled Anna behind her.

'' What are you doing with my sister? I believe I told you not to go near her ever again. '' She snapped.

The boy tensed under her implacable stare before he cowered like a puppy, afraid to be beaten. Elsa was even surprised when he adverted his eyes towards the floor and mumbled an apology.

'' I'm sorry, I swear I had no bad intentions. '' He slowly raised his head to to meet Elsa's intimitading look and gave Anna small smile. '' I think I'll just go and- ''

'' No. '' Anna cut him off before glaring up at her sister. '' He is my friend, I forgave him. ''

Elsa would have jumped in joy as it was the first real sentence Anna said to her in six days, only what she said didn't quite make the blonde happy.

She scoffed instead. '' You forgave him? After what happened to you? ''

'' I did, so what? He is clean. ''

'' How do you know that? ''

'' He's been taking one-on-one therapy sessions along with Snow and I personally recommended Jane as their therapist. And Rapunzel helped me. ''

Elsa could only stare at her sister mouthe agape. Anna has been helping her friends? On top Rapunzel knew and she, her own sister had no idea?

Anna's glare hardened. '' Everyone deserves a second chance Elsa, you know that better than anyone else. You had yours and you screwed it up. ''

'' I'm trying to patch things up Anna, I'm really trying. ''

'' Do you think it's working? ''

'' Is it? '' Elsa asked but she never got her answer.

Instead, Anna grabbed Adam's hand and the boy could only give Elsa an apologizing look before he was dragged away by his friend. Again there was this sting in her chest as Elsa watch them walking away, it seems to her that this painful sensation was awfully familiar since it happened a lot lately.

Yet she isn't used to it.

'' We'll be off for Holidays by the end of the week. '' Rapunzel told Elsa as they both sat at the sushi bar of the campus. '' Do you have plans for Christmas? ''

The blonde took a sip of her water and set her sticks down. '' No. ''

'' No? ''

'' I've planned on asking Anna what she wanted to do two days ago but we can hardly talk. She is ignoring me and I can't get her out of her shell. ''

Rapunzel grimaced slightly. '' She is tough. ''

'' I really screwed up this time. No wonder why she loves you more than me, she even looks more like you than me. '' Elsa didn't know where that comes from but it just came out. She couldn't help but wince at her tone, she sounds like a jealous brat refusing to share her things.

What am I thinking? Elsa mentally kick herself. Anna is not a property or an object I own.

However she likes to think that Anna was hers notheless. She was her baby sister and only hers. She wasn't ready to share her rightful title as Anna's big sister with someone else. Even Punzie.

'' Elsa... '' Rapunzel sighed, placing a hand on top of hers. '' You're are the most important thing in her life and she loves you with all her heart. ''

'' Have you seen how distant she's been lately? I hardly think that's true. ''

'' Remember that it's a broken heart that didn't have the time to completly heal before it's been shattered again. ''

'' But this time she won't allow me to pick up the pieces. She is allowing everyone in but me. '' Elsa cried in frustration, running a hand through her platinum hair.

'' You managed to take her walls down once, what is keeping you from doing it again? ''

'' She looks happy now and somehow I don't want to take that away from her. I'm not saying that I will give up but if she is happy like that, then so be it. Even if it means me not being in her life because she obviously doesn't want me in it.

'' That's not true. ''

'' Well she doesn't need me. ''

'' And where do you get this idea from. ''

'' I mean look, now she is becoming independant. She doesn't need me to tuck her i- ''

Rapunzel facepalmed. '' Anna grew out of it years ago. ''

'' Yeah but she still allowed me to tuck her in, it was our thing and now... now she won't. ''

'' Is that all? ''

'' No. Now she is cooking for herself and refuses to eat whatever I make. She'd rather stuff herself with Kabuto noodles. She choosed noodles over her favorite Mac and cheese! Can you believe? She doesn't need me anymore. ''

'' Oh Elsa. '' Rapunzel threw her head backward as she bursted to laugh.

'' What's so funny. ''

'' Silly do you know why I often took Anna to Oaken lately? ''

'' Well she likes Oaken? '' Elsa stated what seems to be obvious to her.

'' She has been complaining about having to eat ramen in her room for days because it was too hard to eat in the kitchen with the good stuff you made that kept tempting her. ''

'' What? ''

'' She is tired of eating those and that's why she begged me to take her to Oaken, so she could have something that is not screaming noodles. '' Rapunzel was laughing so hard now and Elsa just looked confused.

'' So she still likes my food? ''

'' Yep! ''

'' But why didn't she tell me? ''

Rapunzel shrugged. '' That must be the Arendelle's stubborness mixed with the sudden need to play miss independant. Plus Anna said you were out of chiken noodles, so she's started eating pork noodles. ''

'' She hates pork. ''

'' I know. ''

Elsa burried her face in her head and actually started to laughing as well. '' Oh God! My poor snowflake, I have to put a stop to this now. ''

'' Well move your ass chick. '' Rapunzel smirked.

Anna's POV.

'' Achoo! ''

'' Are you okay there? ''

'' Yes Kai, thank you. I- ah ah achoo! Ugh I think it's just the cold. ''

'' You're sure it's okay? ''

'' Ahh ahh... CHOOOOOO! '' I groaned as another sneeze attack took over me. I met Kai's worried gaze as he stares at me through the rear view mirror. '' I just need to take a bath and eat something, then I'll be fine. ''

'' Okay. '' He nodded, pulling through the gates of the mansion.

I couldn't help but feel my stomach make a loop at the thought of food. Not for what you think though.

It's just...Ugh I can't believe I'll have to eat noodles again, one more night and I'm dead. I don't think noodles are benefit for my system and its' needs but the Ensure is surely taking care of this. The Ensure was the only thing Elsa insisted that I keep taking daily and I only agreed because I actually need it. Ooh I can already imagine my sister's meal, she is going to make something good again.

Aww God, that's so not fair!

Well what are you waiting for? Time to learn how to cook real food.

Wow, being a grown up sucks.

'' Hello there little one! '' Gerda greets me when I shuffled lazily through the living room. I must look like a zombie to her.

'' Hello Gerda. '' I let out a dramatic sigh, throwing myself on the couch, not bothering to take off my backpack.

'' Hard day at school? ''

'' M'yeah. ''

'' Do you need something, would you like to have a snack? ''

'' No thanks. '' I shook my head, closing my eyes. They were so heavy. '' Where is Elsa? ''

'' Your sister has yet to come home, I think she will back soon. ''

'' Kayy... '' I mumbled before I retired to my room.

Once I was done with a hot and well deserved bath, I came back downstairs to make noodles since it's the only thing I can actually make without burning myself... or the kitchen. I cringed at the thought of pork, I think it's the only thing that makes me want to be vegan. Even a salad sounds better than this. This is weird, should I be worried?

'' Gerda? '' I called out when I found no Kabuto noodles in the cupboard. They can't just disappear like that right?

I heard footsteps and soon, Gerda walked in. '' Yes little one? ''

'' Where did they go? ''

'' Who? '' She asked in confusion, looking around.

'' The noodles. ''

'' You ate all of them dear. ''

'' I did? '' Now it was my turn to be confused. I'm sure there were at least two pots left. Oh well, that sucks even more. Or maybe I should be happy that I won't be eating any pork noodles.

'' But your sister left something for you in the microwave. Be careful thought, it's still warm. ''

'' Elsa came back? ''

'' Yes, she is working in the study. '' Gerda said before leaving the kitchen.

I just stood there, looking like I was spoken to in another language. When I finally got over all the whole thing, I walked over to the microwave and pulled two chinese takeout containers out of it. There was a note stuck to one of them.

Before you throw it in the trash, just think about the starving people in the world.

I rolled my eyes at that, she has a point though. Shaking my head, I kept reading.

It's not a trick to get you to forgive me. I just know that you're out of noodles and you won't eat anything I cook. You remember this restaurant I took you when you came with me at the office? I bet you do... well Mr. Shin-Fo made this recipe especially for you and I told him you would appreciate the gesture. You should really try this honey chicken sesame with rice, it's too good to be wasted. I know you'll like it, enjoy your meal.

'' Well if Mr. Shin-Fo made it especially for me, I guess can't waste it. '' I sighed, grabbing a bottle of water and took the takeout containers up to my room.

As soon as the boxes were opened, I felt my stomach make a loud noise at the lovely smell that spreaded in my room. One of them was hot rice and the other was what I assume to be the honey chicken sesame Elsa mentioned in her note. Just by looking at it, it looks good and I couldn't help but let out hum in bliss when I dig in. It wasn't good, it was heavenly.

Thanks for being such a great cook Mr. Shin-Fo... or is it thanks Elsa? Does it matter?

I guess they both have something to do with that. Maybe I will regret later that I couldn't resist the treat but right now I'll just enjoy it. Yes that's right, I'll be guilty later.

Normal POV

When Elsa left the study, she stopped by the kitchen and a grin reached her face when she saw that the chinese takeout containers she has left for Anna were gone. She threw her own empty containers in the trash in time to see Gerda walking in.

'' Gerda, this is you. '' She smiled.

'' Yes. '' The maid nodded. '' I took the pots of pork noodles out of the cupboard like you told me Ms. Elsa. ''

'' I see, thank you. At least now my sister won't have to endure this torture any longer. ''

'' I think I could teach her how to make a few recipes, you know? So she can at least make something else than noodles. '' Gerda laughed.

'' And let her near the oven? '' Elsa made a face before shaking her head. '' No, no, no! ''

'' Dear, Anna is a big girl now. I think it's safer than when she was ten. She won't burn herself if I'm watching her, don't worry. ''

'' Oh Gerda, it's not for her that I'm worried but you... and the kitchen. '' Elsa added with a small grimace.

'' Bad memory huh? ''

Elsa could only nod.

When Anna was ten, the girl wanted to make a cake for mother's day and the kitchen didn't get out of this experience unscathed. Elsa was holding a screaming Idun, both terrifed of what happened to the girl while Agdar has jumped head first into the black smoke to get her out of the kitchen. Turned out, the girl was playing in the garden because waiting for the cake to bake was boring and so she left the poor thing in the oven. Idun didn't know wether to be happy that Anna was safe or angry.

'' Don't worry, I will not leave her side and I believe that she mentioned once that she cooked at Kristoff's house. ''

'' She helped but he cooked. '' Elsa corrected, praying that Kristoff didn't lie to her. '' He knows better than letting her near the oven. ''

'' If you say so. ''

'' But I trust you Gerda. So if you want to teach her, go ahead. Just be careful. ''

'' Of course. ''

With a small nod, Elsa finally retreated to her bedroom to take a bath herself. When she came out of her bathroom tightly wrapped in a towel, she saw the light on the nightstand coming from her phone, announcing that she has received a text. No actually there were two texts.

- Hi Elsa, I visisted Cass 2day & we were both wondering how things R going wif Anna. I hope U guys R fine. ~ Jack.

Elsa sighed sadly but replied.

- Same, we're fine though.

After she replied to him, she opened the second text and this time, she smiled.

- Did it work? ~Rapunzel.

- Yes, thank you. You're a genius!

- Welcome hun :) XOXO. ~Rapunzel.

It was Rapunzel's plan to take all the noodles out of the cupboard and make them disappear from the surface of the planet. Okay not the planet but the mansion at least. She even suggested Elsa to buy all the noodles you could find in the stores, so Anna couldn't find them anywhere in the area. Of course, it was the craziest idea Elsa has ever heard but she admits that she considered it.

After she has changed into her nightgown made of silk, Elsa noticed a note on the floor, sticking out from under her door. With a frown, she bent down and picked it up only to find a twenty dollar bill clipped on the back.

'' What is that? '' She asked, holding the note. She unclipped the bill and read it.

Thanks for the food. You were right, I loved it but I want to pay for it... I would have text you but I can't send money by text right? Anyway, g'night.

Elsa let out an exasperated sigh and rolled her eyes. Anna was definitly stubborn, even more than her. Since when does she make Anna pay for her food? It was just silly.

'' I have to work on that. ''

And it's not the only thing I have to work on. She thought before turning the lamp on her nighstand off and slipped into her bed. Sleepness didn't claim her right away, she had another hour to think about the drastic change in their relationship. She made another mistake she has yet to fix and Anna was still shutting her out.

'' I guess I'll have to force my way in then. '' She whispered in the dark and on this last note, she finally allowed herself to rest and wonder off to dreamland.

Back in Anna's room.

The girl couldn't sleep. She has been staring at a text she has received from Cassandra, the one and only. She wouldn't have been surprised to see a text where her rival is hating on her but the more she looks at it, the more she was stunned. Because it was different and... unexpected? Friendly even?

Yes a friendly text!

- Forgive your sister Anna. I'm the one you should hate for what happened, not her. It's my fault, I realize how much I hurt you. I acted like a brat and I was a bully, there is no denying but I'm so sorry. My new school is strongly against it and I couldn't believe the impact of bullying. I even join the Anti-Bully team here, can you believe? I will tell you something, a story.

There was this boy in Hamilton High and he was bullied everyday and you know what? His mother found him dead the day he graduated and the day after that, she killed herself too. The loss of her son was too much to bear and she decided to join him. May they rest in peace... You know? This story made me think about what I did to you and I want to say thank you. Thank you for not killing yourself, thank you for being alive. I can't imagine what Elsa would do without you, I almost destroyed a family. I made new friends here and I told them your story and we pray for you everyday. I'm so deeply sorry Anna, please stay alive and be happy. Now you know what is left to do. Let her in.

~ Frostie

Yes Anna was stunned. This is the last thing she expected coming from Cassandra but it was right before her eyes. What a suddend change and it made her wonder what kind of school she is attempting. Anna felt bad for the boy and his mother, she couldn't agree more with Cassandra. May they rest in peace... The text really touched her heart and maybe she has shed a tear. And then, there is Elsa... Her silly big sister she loves so much but still can't bring herself to forgive yet.

Anna was lost... and now she was sure she will not be able to sleep. Sighing, she changed the name Frostie in her contact to Cassandra.

At least she could change that.

Hello guys...

It's sad to tell you this but the end of the story is coming soon. I think there are two chapters left so far and that's it. I think I will make series of one-shots for a sequel to the story, I'm not sure though. But I'm still working on it...

I'm thinking about a new plot, not a AU fanfic. I wanted to write a family-humor story about Princess Anna turning into a toddler, I thought it would be funny to see Queen Elsa and a freaked out Kristoff dealing with a toddler princess. I didn't start anything yet, it was just an idea. I don't even know if this will come to life since I will be more busy in the near futur.

Tell me your opinions, I'd like to know what you think.

'Till next time, peace lovely readers. :')
