"What is this place?" Elsa asks.

Jack simply smiles at her. "What is this place?" She repeats with laughter.
"How do you feel about becoming a guardian?" Jack asks.
"A guardian?" Elsa asks. "I can't be a guardian…"
"Why not?" Jack asks.
"When have I ever been a proper guardian?" Elsa asks.
"Well, when have you ever had help?"

"Jack, you're back!" Tooth says, quickly flying down.
"Hey Tooth," Jack smiles.

Elsa looks around the place in awe. It's massive, and beyond amazing.

"Who's the girl?"
"Oh!" Jack says excitedly. He runs over and takes Elsa's hand, leading her back over to his friends. "This is Elsa."
"Hi," Elsa says quietly, slightly waving to the people.
"Welcome Elsa!" North says cheerfully. "Is she a hugger?" He asks Jack.

Jack simply shrugs.
"Who cares! I am!" North quickly pulls Elsa into a hug.
"Can't—breathe," Elsa says, smiling grandly.

When North puts Elsa down, she smiles and looks at all the people—and animals—who are welcoming her.

"So, she's your girlfriend?" Tooth asks.
"Not yet," Jack answers, turning to Elsa and smirking. Elsa blushes and bites her bottom lip gently.
"Uh, Jack?" Tooth asks, tapping Jack's shoulder. "You're drooling…"
"Huh? What? Oh…" Jack wipes his mouth and smiles awkwardly. "Oops."
"Someone's got a crush," Bunny teases.

Jack doesn't argue at first. "I don't have a crush!" He says in defence.
"It took too long for you to answer. We don't believe you," North teases.
"Then don't believe me. Maybe I was lying anyway," Jack says, crossing his arms and tilting his head back a bit.
"You were?" Elsa asks, playing with the end of her braid.
"Awkward…" Bunny says.
"Wait—what?" Jack says, looking around unnoticingly.

That's what Anna used to say. Elsa's expression changes from excitement and warmth, to heartbreak and sorrow.
"What's wrong?" Jack asks, putting his hands on Elsa's shoulders, trying to comfort her without getting to personal.
"Nothing," Elsa answers, shrugging off his hands. She crosses her arms and steps back. "It was nice to meet you all." With that, Elsa gently and gracefully flies off and out the window into the sunset-filled sky.

"Poor girl," Tooth says. "I wonder what's wrong?"
"Her sister, her past, her… everything," Jack answers quietly.
"She has a sister?" North asks.
"A little one. Names Anna. She's such a sweetheart. Her and Elsa are best friends—but Elsa had to leave Anna behind in order to come here. I'm sure things will get better over time," Jack explains.

Elsa flies back to her original hometown.

Anna walks down the road with her friends Meg and Belle, laughing and talking.

Elsa smiles and follows behind.

"Did you finish reading that book?" Anna asks.
"Of course she did. She's Belle!" Meg laughs.
"I did, and it was great," Belle answers, nudging Meg.
"I played Slender last night at like 5am," Anna says.

"5am, hm?" Elsa asks quietly.

"You were up till 5am?" Meg asks surprised. "You never stay up late!"
"Couldn't sleep," Anna says.
"Still missing her?" Belle asks.
"More than ever. She's my sister. My only sister, my only family, one of my closest and truest friends. I hope she comes and visits soon," Anna answers.

Elsa feels warm inside that Anna actually misses her.

"What if she's here right now? Following us, lurking around in the night," Meg says sarcastically, goofing around.
"She could be," Anna says.
"Maybe she is," Belle says with laughter.

"Maybe I am," Elsa says. She thought the words, and they slipped out. Oops.

All 3 teens turn around and look up. "Elsa!" Anna squeals.

Elsa flies down and both sisters quickly hug each other.
"Meg, Belle," Elsa says, slightly bowing her head to Anna's friends.
"I have missed you soo much," Anna says, tightly grasping Elsa's arms.
"I've missed you too," Elsa says warmly.
"You two a couple yet?" Meg asks.
"They're sisters," Belle says confused.
"Not Anna and Elsa! Jack and Elsa!" Meg quickly adds.
"No, we're not," Elsa answers.
"Should be. He's cute," Meg says.
"Megara!" Elsa says.
"Hey, It's Meg," Meg corrects her firmly.
"Sorry," Elsa says quickly.
"You should come over," Belle says.
"Wish I could," Elsa says sounding a little disappointed. "But I've got to get back. I kinda ran out of there."
"Why?" Anna asks.
"I missed you," Elsa answers.

"I missed you and your leaving town," Jack smirks with slight laughter. "Why'd you run off so fast?"
"Oh, Jack," Elsa says surprised.
"Why don't we let these 3 girls head home and watch their movie, while we go somewhere else," Jack says, taking Elsa's hand gently.

Meg and Belle smirk at each other.

"Come visit tomorrow, okay?" Anna says, hugging her sister goodbye.
"Of course!" Elsa assures her. "I'll be back, later tomorrow."
"Bye! Have fun!" Meg says, waving goodbye.

Jack and Elsa—holding hands—fly back towards the North Pole.

"Is everything alright?" Tooth asks with concern.
"Everything is fine, Tooth," Elsa assures her.
"Good," Tooth smiles.
"You had us worried," North says, hugging Elsa once more.
"Not me," Bunny adds.
"Gee, thanks," Elsa says sarcastically.
"So, everything is okay now?" Tooth asks.
"A OK," Jack answers.
"Good!" Tooth says.

Tooth flies over to Elsa and examines her teeth.
"What is she doing?" Elsa asks. Though, the words are garbled due to Tooth's fingers' being in her mouth.
"They're so perfect!" Tooth says excitedly.
"Tooth fairy?" Elsa asks.
"Yup," Jack answers.
"Tooth, let's not scare our guests away," North says.
"Oh, right!" Tooth says, taking her fingers back. "Sorry."
"Its fine," Elsa laughs.

Jack walks over to Elsa and their crystal-blue eyes meet.
"So… what now?" Elsa asks.
"Uh…" Jack says, continuing to stare at the teen girl that stands in front of him.
"Jack?" Elsa asks. "Are you okay?"
"Hm? What?" Jack asks, blinking and awkwardly looking around.
"Nope, not awkward at all," Bunny laughs.
"Oh, hush. They're just kids," North says.

Elsa wanders off and ends up looking around the place.

"Isn't she… wow," Jack says.
"Just; wow?" Tooth asks teasingly.
Jack is quickly snapped out of his trance-like state. "Yeah. Wow is an understatement at that!" He answers, quickly chasing after Elsa.

"They're so going to get married," Bunny teases.
"He's just a boy! And she looks older, doesn't she?" North asks.
"She's not that old," Tooth answers.
"Older than him," Bunny adds.
"Barely," Tooth responds.
"She's got to be in her 20's," North says.
"Shouldn't you know?" Bunny asks.
North simply shrugs.

"Elsa, wait up!" Jack calls, stumbling around the corner. He skids then crashes into the wall.

Elsa turns around and puts her hand over her mouth in hope to hide her laughter.
Jack runs over so quickly, that Elsa has to basically catch him before he falls—taking her down with him.
"Jack," Elsa laughs. "What on earth are you doing?"
Awkward, I Jack's first thought. "Trying to catch up with you…?" He answers
"Okay," Elsa says, once again trying to hide her laughter.

Both teens walk down the hallway. The silence feels awkward to them both.
"So…" Jack says.
Elsa looks at him, eyebrows raised. "So what?" She asks.
Jack doesn't answer.
"You don't have to act different around me," Elsa says. "Just, be yourself."
"Myself?" Jack asks. "I don't know if you'd like that…"
"Why? Are you some sort of 'mass murderer' that's being hunted down?" Elsa asks sarcastically.
"No," Jack chuckles.
"Then, show me who you really are," Elsa smirks.

Jack holds his staff tightly in his hand then flies down the hall.
"Wait up!" Elsa calls. She quickly follows, flying much more graceful then him—but just as fast.

Both teens fly through a portal and into a large area of snowy mountains.
"This is my paradise," Jack says, tossing ice around.
"Looks fun," Elsa responds. She quickly stops flying, then makes snowflakes appear in the sky.
"Snowflakes?" Jack scoffs. "Try Ice."
"Ice? I have Ice as well?" Elsa asks.
"Ice and snow!" Jack answers.
"How?" Elsa asks.

Jack flies over and takes her hand. Pulling her closer then floating behind her, Jack guides Elsa's hand, showing her how to create the ice.
"Just like that," He says calmly.
Elsa turns and looks over her shoulder. With the feeling that he's being watched, Jack looks at her and smiles. "Too close?" He asks.
"Not at all," She answers.

Elsa quickly turns her attention back to the ice that she's currently forming.

Tons of ice and snow flies around. Both Jack and Elsa fly around, creating tons of frozen fun as they do. Laughing and having an amazing time, This is the first time in months that Elsa has felt happy and free.
"Try this!" Jack calls. Elsa quickly turns and watches Jack do a back-flip, creating a large snowball in the process.
"I don't bend that way," Elsa calls.
"Sure you do!" Jack says, flying over to her.
"I really don't. Especially in this outfit," Elsa says.
"Then change," Jack smirks.
"There's nothing to wear," Elsa responds.

Jack takes Elsa's hand, then the two fly down, landing gently on the top of a snowy mountain.
"Create a dress—or an outfit of your choice," Jack says.
"I can't do that," Elsa says.
"Sure you can! All you have to do is turn that outfit into a different outfit," Jack explains. "Watch, I can do it too."

Elsa steps back and watches as Jack turns his warmer clothes, into clothes made of ice.
"Now you try," He says.
"O-Okay," Elsa says, still unsure of all this. "How do we get these powers anyway?"
"Magic," Jack smirks.
"Obviously," Elsa laughs.

Jack puts Elsa's hands by her sides.
"Now, gesture like you want the snow to form," He explains.

Elsa does the "Come Here" motion with her hands and the snow and ice begins to form.
"Good!" Jack says. "Now make the rest of the dress."
"How?" Elsa asks.
"Bring it up as high as you want, then create the sleeves," Jack answers.

Jack helps bring the ice up, but Elsa creates the sleeves.
"Any other finishing touches?" Jack asks.

Elsa turns her white, running shoes into blue, ice, high heeled shoes.
"Girls gotta have their shoes," Jack teases.
"It's a girl thing. Get used to it," Elsa laughs.
"Anything else?" Jack asks, playing with Elsa's braid. It's like he's admiring her hair.
"Hm…" Elsa slightly taps her foot, thinking of what else she could add.

Jack's hand moves up Elsa's braid, and he begins playing with her bangs. This she notices.
"What're you doing?" She asks.

Jack quickly crosses his arms, hiding his hands. "Nothing."
"Alright," Elsa says. "Well, I guess I'm complete."

Jack steps back and looks Elsa over, head to toe.

She now wears the long, ice dress, with the shoes. But she has no cape this time.
Her hair is in the same braid, but she has her bangs down instead of brushed back. Her bangs are also more like Anna's, just not brushed to the side.

"Whoa…"
"Jack, you're drooling again," Tooth says, flying over and closing Jack's mouth. "Miss Elsa, somebody is calling for you."
"For me? Who?" Elsa asks.
"A young girl, reddish hair, not very tall, not very old, beautiful smile," Tooth answers.
"Why was she calling?" Elsa asks, knowing who the girl is.
"She said she needed help with something. It was important," Tooth answers.
"I have to go," Elsa says, quickly flying off.
"Should I come?" Jack asks.
"This is family stuff, Jack. I have to deal with this alone," Elsa answers. She disappears in an instant.

"I hope everything will be okay," Tooth says with concern.
"I'm sure it will be," Jack answers.
"Now, about this Elsa girl," Tooth beings. Jack rolls his eyes and sighs.

"Anna?" Elsa calls, entering the house.

Anna quickly runs down the stairs and wraps her arms tightly around her older sister.
"Elsa!"
"What's wrong?" Elsa asks concerned.
Anna pulls out of the hug, then steps up the stairs a bit so she reaches her sisters' eyes.
"Nice dress," She compliments.
"Thanks," Elsa says quietly.
"Apparently I'm "Under Age" to be living alone, and if I don't have a legal guardian, I'll be taken into a foster home!" Anna explains sounding terrified.

Elsa doesn't know how to respond. She never even thought of this problem…
"How did they find out you were living alone?" Elsa asks.
"I have no idea," Anna answers, brushing her bangs back. But they quickly fall back into place.
"But, you're almost old enough," Elsa says.
"Elsa, you're not old enough to be my legal guardian or to live on your own. So, I'm toast," Anna says.
"What about Meg? Or Belle? Or Julia? Aren't they old enough?" Elsa asks.
"Meg is the same age as you, Belle is the same age as me, and Julia is younger than me," Anna answers.
"Well, I'll be 18 later this year. When is Meg's birthday?" Elsa asks.
"December. They're taking me away in 3 days!" Anna answers.
"3 Days?!" Elsa asks. Her heartbeat echoes in her ears, racing in her chest.
"Elsa, I'm 16 years old. I can't legally live on my own. You raising me for all those years was against the law! If they find out that you've been raising me—we're both toast!" Anna explains growing more panicky.
"Maybe we could say somebody else was raising us," Elsa suggests, walking into the living room and sitting down on the couch.
"Like who?" Anna asks, following and sitting on the floor. She quickly moves onto her beanbag chair.
"I can't think of everything!" Elsa answers. "I'm as scared as you are!"
"Why though? You and Jack can continue to live where you want—I just need your help," Anna says. "I don't know how to live on my own properly, especially when things get rough."
"Maybe… We could lie about our ages?" Elsa suggests, not knowing what to do.
"Or lie about someone else's age," Anna says, getting an idea.

Elsa gets the same idea.
"Rapunzel," They say in unison.

"So, why am I here?" Rapunzel asks, walking inside the house.
"We need you to pretend to be older than you are," Anna answers.
"How old?" Rapunzel asks. She's going along with the plan, not caring how many rules it breaks.
"Well, Elsa's been raising me since she was… how old?" Anna asks.
"14," Elsa answers.
"14?!" Rapunzel asks, shocked. "You've been living alone since you were 14? Why didn't anybody tell me?"
"Elsa was always good at taking care of us. Nothing went wrong—and if it did, we called somebody like you or Meg for help," Anna answers.
"Okay, so that's…" Rapunzel begins counting in her head. "Just about 4 years ago."
"So, she's 22," Elsa says.
"Do I look 22?" Rapunzel asks.
"We can make you look 22," Anna answers.

Currently, Rapunzel wears a loose, wavy, purple, tank top, with white caprice and pink flip-flops. Her hair is in a high pony-tail, and she wears no makeup.

"And not 16," Elsa adds.

Elsa and Anna take Rapunzel upstairs.
"When is the woman coming?" Elsa asks.
"She's coming at 3pm today to talk to my legal guardian," Anna answers.
"Why?" Elsa asks, taking down Rapunzel's long, golden blonde hair.
"I skipped a day of school and got into trouble?" Anna says nervously.
"Why did you skip school?" Elsa asks, not seeming to care.
"It's a long story," Anna answers.
"Anna, I've only been gone for a day," Elsa says.
"Elsa, you've been gone for a week…" Anna corrects.

Elsa straightens up and turns around. "A week?"
"Yeah… Just over a week. Maybe, 8 days?" Anna answers.
"It's only been a day!" Elsa says confused.
"Maybe time is different where you went with Jack? I don't know. I just know that it's been about 8 days since you left," Anna explains.
"Sorry for not coming and visiting," Elsa says.
"Nah, its fine. We've been doing teen stuff, that I would probably get into trouble for, anyway," Anna says, looking through her dresser.
"What have you been up to?" Elsa sighs, continuing to brush Rapunzel's hair.
"Teen stuff," Anna answers, putting a grown-up outfit on the desk.
"What kind of teen stuff?" Elsa asks.
"Well, we went to a couple of parties—but that was Meg's idea… Hung out at the mall, had boyfriends come ov—you know, it's not really important," Anna answers, dodging the question at the last moment.
"So, boyfriends have been over, huh?" Elsa asks, not terribly impressed.
"Oh, let's be honest here," Rapunzel buds in. "Anna is quite responsible for a kid her age, and I don't think we have anything to worry about."
"Except for boys in my house," Elsa adds.
"You moved out, so it's technically my house," Anna says.
"I've paid for it," Elsa argues.
"Not for the past week," Anna argues.
"Rent isn't due for another month. I paid it the day before I left," Elsa argues.
"…I live here," Anna argues.
"I won that argument," Elsa smirks.

Anna crosses her arms and sits down.
"Oh, come on. Get a sense of humor," Elsa teases.
"You know about Humor?" Anna teases back.
"Hush it, you," Elsa says.
"Hush it, you," Anna mocks in a childish voice.
"Real mature, Anna," Elsa says, continuing to do Rapunzel's hair.
"Real mature, Elsa," Anna mocks in a childish voice.
"Okay, stop it," Elsa says slightly annoyed.
"Okay, stop it," Anna mocks.
"Anna, stop," Elsa says growing more annoyed.
"Elsa, stop," Anna mocks.
"Anna Elizabeth, I said stop," Elsa says even more annoyed and growing frustrated.
"Elsa Madeleine, I said stop," Anna mocks.
"You two are so annoying, and really suck at arguing," Rapunzel sighs.
"Punz—actually, you're right," Elsa says.
"Punz—actually you're right," Anna repeats.
"Anna!" Elsa shouts annoyed. "Please, stop repeating everything I say!"
"Elsa!" Anna shouts teasingly. "Please, come back home for a bit. I miss you." She calms down on the last 2 sentences.

A warm feeling spreads deep in Elsa's heart. She never really knew how much Anna loved her and cared about her and looked up to her.
"I will soon. I promise," Elsa says, gently putting her hand on Anna's cheek. Anna smiles and puts her hand on top of Elsa's.

A knock at the front door interrupts everything.
"Rapunzel, get dressed," Elsa quickly says.
"Elsa, your dress," Anna says concerned. "It's ice. What if she notices?"
"Then she notices and we wing it," Elsa answers.

Anna stays and helps Rapunzel get ready, while Elsa races down the stairs and opens the door.
"Ah, Miss Christian," The social worker says. "My name is Danielle Chaulk. Call me what you'd like. May I come in?"
"Y-Yes of course," Elsa says, opening the door wider. "Make yourself at home."
"Thank you," Danielle says, sitting on the couch, looking around the place.

Nervously, Elsa quickly runs back up the stairs. She then runs halfway down. "I'll be right back," She says, before turning and running back up the stairs.

Elsa runs back into the bathroom.
"Good, she's dressed," She says, quickly fixing Rapunzel's bun.
"Yup," Anna says, putting her hands on her hips and looking at Rapunzel head to toe. "She looks so much older."
"I feel older too," Rapunzel says. "Oh, and Elsa, I'm kinda borrowing your blue and black bra."
"What? Why?" Elsa asks confused.
"Needed something bigger than my size," Rapunzel teases.
"Mrs Chaulk is downstairs waiting. No time for teasing games," Elsa says, a little impatiently due to nerves.
"Mrs Chaulk? As in Chalk? This is going to be hard…" Anna laughs.
"No making fun of the woman that can take you away," Elsa says firmly.

All 3 girls quickly rush back downstairs, standing awkwardly at the bottom of the stairs.
"Ahem," Rapunzel says.

Danielle turns and faces them, putting the picture back down.
"Sorry, Miss…" Danielle doesn't know Rapunzel's name.
"Oh, I'm Rapunzel Corona," Rapunzel says, shaking Danielle's hand.
"Rapunzel? Like from the fairytale?" Danielle asks confused.
"Indeed," Rapunzel answers.
"So, what's needed to be talked about?" Elsa asks, trying to hide her nervousness. Wait, did that sentence make any sense?

Danielle sits back down on the couch.
Rapunzel and Elsa sit across from her on the other couch; Anna falls onto her beanbag chair—practically lying down.

"So, what's been going on the past few years, hm?" Danielle asks curiously, flipping through a folder. "It says here that your mother and father passed away when you were 14, correct?"
"Yeah," Elsa answers quietly and sadly.
"And, who has been taking care of you and your sister?" Danielle asks.
"I-I have," Rapunzel answers.
"You have? I'm sorry, but you exactly are you?" Danielle asks.
"I'm Rapunzel Corona. Elsa and Anna's cousin," Rapunzel answers.
"What is your age? Are you old enough to be watching them?" Danielle asks.
"22. I'll be 23 this year," Rapunzel answers, playing her character pretty well.
"Mhm," Danielle says. "So, if you've been raising these two for the past 4 years, why have I never been informed of this?"
"Guess you're not as loved as you thought," Rapunzel says nastily.
Elsa slightly nudges Rapunzel's arm.
"That was rude of me. Sorry," Rapunzel says as if she had a gun pressed against her head.
"Miss Christian, you understand that Anna has been living alone for the past week, correct?" Danielle asks, turning her attention to Elsa.
"Rapunzel has been here watching after her," Elsa says.

Danielle shakes her head and everybody grows worried.
"I've been watching you all very closely, Miss Christian, and every day, Anna leaves this house alone and returns with a few friends who always end up leaving later on," She explains.

Anna nervously bites her lip, Elsa sighs and closes her eyes, Rapunzel sits back and sighs.

"I think we're done here," Danielle says, standing up.
"Mrs Chaulk, please don't send me away," Anna nearly begs, standing up quickly.
"Anna, you know and I know what is best for you. But it is clear that your sister and cousin do not," Danielle explains. "What's done is done."

Anna angrily leaves the room and heads up the stairs. "I'm not going anywhere, and you can't make me!" She yells, going into her room and closing the door. She didn't slam it, which surprised Elsa and Rapunzel.

"I'm out too," Rapunzel says, standing up. "Sorry I couldn't help." She turns and faces Danielle. "If you even try to take Anna away from us, you will be facing a difficult life." With that, she also goes upstairs.

Elsa stands up.
"You have something to say?" Danielle asks.
"I do," Elsa answers, walking over to the woman that she towers over. (Elsa's 5'10, Danielle is about 5'0)
Danielle gulps and takes a step back, looking up at the teen.
"Rapunzel's right. If you even try to take Anna away from us, you will be facing a difficult life," Elsa says.
"Threatening is illegal," Danielle says, her voice trembling.
"Oh, dear, we're not threatening anything that breaks the law. But we are threatening do completely destroy your life in every legal way possible. You've been warned. So think before you make your next act," Elsa says firmly.

Danielle backs towards the door, but Elsa stays closely behind. She's not a threatening-looking person, but the fact that she's 10 inches taller is a little (or a lot) threatening.

"What's done is done," Danielle says, turning the door handle cowardly.
"Then it's done. But Anna's not going anywhere," Elsa responds.
"You don't make that decision, miss. I do. And since you're underage, you are not legally in charge of Anna," Danielle says.
"Maybe I'm not. She's in charge of herself. And she said she's staying, so she's staying," Elsa says.
"Anna is just a kid. She doesn't know what's best for her. There is nothing you can do about it. Tomorrow, Anna will be taken," Danielle says, opening the door and leaving the house.

Elsa puts her hand on the door and doorframe.
"Mrs Chaulk," She begins, looking down at the porch.

Danielle stops and turns around, causing Elsa to look up.
"I just thought you should know that my family has quite a bit of money, and we will not hesitate to use it against you. And may I remind you of my authority in this town? I stand way higher than you, and I would not suggest pushing my buttons," Elsa says firmly.

Danielle sighs and steps forward.
"Threaten all you'd like. Anna will be gone tomorrow," She says, hiding how terrified she really is. Danielle understands how much power Elsa has in this city, and how wealthy she is—but she doesn't want to accept that fact that a teenager is kicking her ass in this battle to see who keeps Anna.

Elsa closes the door and leans against it, holding back tears. She won't have Anna taken away from her. Not after everything. She won't let that happen. She can't!

"Is she gone?" Rapunzel asks, walking downstairs in her normal outfit.
"Yeah," Elsa answers, taking a deep breath and wiping away the few tears the escaped her eyes.
"Is everything fixed?" Rapunzel asks.
Elsa slightly shakes her head. "Thank you for trying to help. I really appreciate it."
"Hey, no problem. If you ever need anything else, just call me. I'm always available for you two," Rapunzel assures her.
"Thank you," Elsa says warmly.

Both girls tightly hug each other, then Rapunzel goes home.

Elsa walks upstairs and slowly opens Anna's door. All the lights in the room are off—except for a small, tinker bell nightlight next to Anna's bed.
All Elsa can see is Anna's light auburn hair. The rest of her is buried in the silver/grey, bed sheets.
Elsa presumes Anna asleep, so she leaves the room, closing the door.

Anna hears the door close and locks her phone for a second. She sits up but sees nobody around, so she lies back down, unlocks her phone, and continues to play Slenderman.

Elsa walks into the bathroom. She flicks on the light, then closes and locks the door.
Taking another stress-filled deep breath, Elsa stands in front of the mirror with her hands on opposite sides of the sink, pressing hard against the white, tile counters.
Elsa looks up at her reflection. "They can't take her," She says quietly.
"Can't take who?" Jack asks, sitting in the window sill.

Elsa jumps due to being startled. She presses her hand on her chest, covering her necklace, then she faces Jack.
"What're you doing here?" She asks.
"You've been gone quite a while," Jack answers. "Any problems?"
"A lot," Elsa answers, sitting on the counter.
"Anything I can do to help?" Jack asks, swinging his legs inside the house and putting his bare feet onto the cold, grey tiled floor.
"Not really," Elsa answers depressingly.
"I'm sure there's something I can do," Jack says.
"Like what?" Elsa asks.
"See, that's where you tell me," Jack answers.
"But I don't know what to do," Elsa explains.
"Sure you do. You're you! Elsa Kristen!" Jack says.
"Christian," Elsa corrects.
"Yeah, that!" Jack says. "You can do so much already, so you can definitely keep Anna here!"
"Anna," Elsa corrects. (Jack said Anne-ah, instead of 'Auna')
"Yeah, that!" Jack laughs.
"Fail," Elsa smirks.
"Quite a bit, actually," Jack says, putting his hands on the window frame. "Nice house."
"Expensive house," Elsa sighs.
"It's huge, Elsa. And fancy, and—how do you afford this? And why do you have such a big house?" Jack asks.
"How do we afford it?" Elsa repeats. "Well, we have more money than you think. Why do we have such a big house?"
Jack simply watches as her expression changes.
"Our mother loved this house," Elsa says with a faint smile. "I grew up here. I was born here. Literally."
"Literally?" Jack asks shocked.
"Yeah, my mother doesn't like hospitals," Elsa answers.
"I'll try to get over that…" Jack says, trying to clear his head.
"We did everything in this house. As a family," Elsa explains, going through all her memories.
"And Anna?" Jack asks.
"She wasn't born here—or completely raised here," Elsa answers. "In fact, we didn't grow up together."
"What?" Jack asks shocked.
"When I was about 2, my parents split up," Elsa begins. "Not too much longer later, Anna was born. But she was then given to my father due to parental rights. Growing up, I had that empty feeling of; knowing I had a baby sister, but not ever being allowed to see her or meet her. So, it was just mom and I. Then when I was about… 4, I think—my father died in a car accident. The woman he was engaged to left, and left Anna with some strangers."

Jack's heart drops, and he begins feeling awful for both girls.

"So, one day we got a call that said 'we found your baby'. But, we never knew she was missing. I still remember the day that mom and I went to the police station—and I met my baby sister for the first time. She was nearly 1 year old, and was instantly the person I cared about most. From that day for a few years, Anna and I grew up together," Elsa explains. "When I was about 6, Anna being 3, she got quite sick and ended up in the children's hospital. I was never told what was wrong with her—I was just told to say my goodbyes."

Both teens slightly tear up, but try to hide it.

"Then mom and I moved to Portugal, leaving Anna in Norway with our cousin, Rapunzel. So when Anna got better, she stayed with Punz for quite some time. Back in Portugal, mom had to stay for a while—so I wasn't able to go back and see Anna," Elsa explains. "I was never told why we couldn't go back. But 3 years past, and we finally did. By this point, I was 9 and Anna was 6. We stayed together and lived together, doing everything together all the time. Then when I was 11, Anna was 8; mom was diagnosed with bone cancer. And that's when everything began to go downhill."

Jack is now sitting on the counter next to Elsa, holding her hand in both of his.

"A few years passed by, and the cancer was starting to get better. But a little after my 13th birthday, Anna was 10 at this point, the cancer returned stronger and meaner," Elsa continues. "Anna was sent to live with Rapunzel again while mom was treated to get better." She pauses and takes a deep breath, tightly holding Jack's hand.
She's never talked to anybody about this. Never told anybody, never spoken of it, never even written it down somewhere. It's remained bottled up inside, tearing away and destroying her life.

"On November 13th that year, she died in the hospital in the night when we were both asleep," She says as a tear rolls down her cheek.
"I remember waking up to the sound of machines making weird noises. I tried to wake her up, but she didn't respond. I felt for a pulse, then put my ear to her mouth and listened—but heard and felt nothing. That's when I knew that…" Unable to hold it back, Elsa begins crying and Jack quickly hugs her close—forgetting about everything else.
"That's—when I knew that she was gone," Elsa finishes.
"I don't know what to say," Jack admits quietly.
"I don't either," Elsa admits, releasing the hug and wiping away her tears. "About 3 hours or so after she died, I called the Corona family. Aunt Primrose was the first to find out, then I asked her not to tell Anna and that I'd rather tell her myself. So later that day, Anna and I got reunited and I told her what had happened. The way she acted… the way she looked at me when I told her… You can't ever change the past. You can't ever change your decisions. You can't ever unsee something."
"You made the right choice by telling her. And you know that," Jack says.
"But, did I?" Elsa asks.
"She had a right to know. And believe me. It hurts less when the person you love most tells you," Jack answers.
"I know," Elsa sighs. She's still shaking slightly, and her cheeks are nearly completely pink. "Thank you," She says.
"For what?" Jack asks confused.
"For letting me talk to you and not running off," Elsa answers. "It feels better now that I've told somebody."
"You know why?" Jack asks.
"Why?" Elsa asks.
"Because you've admitted it. You accepted it. You've convinced yourself completely that this is reality, this is where we are today, this is who you are," Jack answers.
"Who am I?" Elsa asks unsure.
"You? You are… Whoever you want to be," Jack answers.

Elsa gets lost in thought. Who is she?

Elsa slowly wakes up to the sound of knocking. "Anna, get the door," She whines, pulling her pillow over her head. The knocking continues. "Anna!"
After the knocking continues, Elsa sighs and gets out of bed, slowly making her way downstairs and opening the front door with a snappy "What?"

"I forgot my key," Anna says awkwardly. She nudges her way past her half-asleep sister, then walks into the kitchen. "Sorry for waking you."
"Where've you been?" Elsa asks tiredly.
"Went to the library," Anna answers. She turns around—and Elsa's gone. "Elsa?"

Anna puts her jacket on the table then walks into the living room to find Elsa asleep on the couch. Anna rolls her eyes and smiles before getting a blanket and covering Elsa.

Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock…

Anna unlocks and opens the door. "Oh, hey Jack. Come on in," She says, opening the door more.
"Thanks," Jack says, slowly entering the house and looking around. "Nice place."
"Thanks," Anna says, closing the door.

Jack makes his way over to Elsa and tucks her hair behind her ear. "She's so tired," Anna says.
"Yeah," Jack says, tilting his head slightly and looking at Elsa's closed eyes.
"Guess she was up late," Anna says from the kitchen.
"Yeah," Jack responds quietly. His eyes move back and forth between her eyes and her lips.
"Don't do anything stupid," Anna says, standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Startled, Jack slightly jumps and looks at the redhead.
"I-I won't. You can trust me," He says.
"Mhm," Anna waves him off, then goes back upstairs.

Jack sits down on the other couch and continues to watch Elsa sleep.
"Why are you staring at me?" Elsa asks tiredly.
Jack quickly looks away and gets an awkward behavior. "How did you—"
"Heard you and Anna talking, then felt the awe in your eyes looking at me," Elsa answers, slightly sitting up.
"Oh.." Jack says, slightly ashamed.
"So, Jack Frost. Got any plans for today?" Elsa asks, brushing her hair with her fingers.
"I did. Then I met you," Jack smirks.
"Well, why don't you continue your plans," Elsa smirks.
"Because," Jack says, sitting up and leaning forward across the table. "I'd rather spend my day with a pretty girl."
"Where are you going to find a pretty girl?" Elsa asks, rubbing the tiredness out of her eyes.
"I'm looking at one," Jack smirks.

Elsa slowly puts her hands down. "As sweet as that is, I just woke up—so I am not the prettiest girl of all time."
"I beg to differ," Jack winks. "Even first thing in the morning you're stunning."
"Are you hitting on me again?" Elsa asks, standing up and slowly heading the stairs. "Because friends don't normally flirt."

Friends? Just, friends? Nope. Sorry Elsa, but I am not giving up yet.

"Who said we were just friends?" Jack asks as Elsa walks up the stairs.
"Who said we were anything more than just friends?" Elsa asks, entering the bathroom and locking the door.
"Damn, she got me," Jack says, stopping at the end of the stairs. "Oh, she's good. But that doesn't change the fact that I will win this game…"
"Good luck with that," Anna says, running down the stairs, past Jack, then into the dining room.
"Whose side are you on?" Jack asks. "And who exactly are you...?"

Anna opens her laptop then sits down at the table. Quickly typing something out, Jack is amazed at how fast her fingers are moving across the keys.

"I'm Anna—Elsa's younger and only sister. I've been here to judge the people she hangs out with, but hey; that's what little sisters are for," Anna answers.
"Judge me then," Jack says, sitting down at the table.
"Well," Anna begins, glancing up at Jack—but still continuing to type. "You seem nice—but way to pushy. Flirting is good, but Elsa doesn't take much affect to that. You seem too skinny for my liking in a boy, but you're not too thin. You're good looking and tall—short men are not the best—and you seem to have a lot of things in common with Elsa."
"Not too judgy. But, I understand where you're coming from. You're jealous, aren't you," Jack says.
"Jealous?" Anna scoffs.
"Because Elsa has a guy crushing on her—and you have nobody," Jack says.

Somebody taps Jack on the shoulder, and he slowly turns around.
"I have him," Anna laughs. "Kristoff, meet Jack. Jack, meet my boyfriend, Kristoff."

Jack stands up, but even standing—Kristoff is much taller and muscular.
"Oh, uh… Hi," Jack says, stepping back a bit.
"Teasing my girlfriend?" Kristoff asks.
"Definitely not, man. Don't worry," Jack answers.
"Oh, Jack," Anna sighs.

She stands up and walks over next to Kristoff. Both of them cross their arms at the same time.
"You better not do anything stupid," Anna says.
"We'll be watching you," Kristoff adds.
"You two are creepy," Jack says, sitting back down at the table.

Anna and Kristoff look at each other, smirking. "Thank you."

"Like your outfit," Kristoff says.
"It's not fancy," Anna says.

(Anna wears a green, tee-shirt, with white shorty-shorts and currently no shoes. Her hair is in two side ponies, and her bangs are brushed to the right)

"It's still cute," Kristoff says, putting his hands on her tiny hips.

"Keep it clean," Elsa says, walking through the dining room and into the kitchen.
"Elsa, wait!" Jack says, falling out of his chair and stumbling into the kitchen.

Anna and Kristoff quietly laugh before sitting back down at the table, where Anna continues working.

Jack enters the kitchen, slamming into Elsa and they both fall to the ground.
"Ow," Elsa says annoyed.
"Sorry," Jack says awkwardly.

Elsa stands up and faces Jack; and he once again stares at her.
"You're staring again," Elsa sighs, looking for breakfast.
"Sorry," Jack says. "…Again…"

(Elsa wears a blue tee-shirt, with dark blue tights, and still her ice shoes. Her hair is in a ponytail, and her bangs are brushed straight down)

"Why'd you change out of your ice dress?" Jack asks.
"Don't want people to suspect anything," Elsa answers, taking a Tupperware of triple-chocolate muffins out of the cupboard. "Muffin?" She offers.
"What kind?" Jack asks, tempted by the treats.
"Triple chocolate," Elsa answers.

The door bursts open and Anna runs into the kitchen, taking 2 muffins.
"When did we get these?" She asks, already half-way finished eating one.
"Don't talk with your mouth full," Elsa says, with her mouth full.

Anna slightly glares at her.
"You just did!" She says. "Need milk," She adds.

Elsa opens the fridge and pours Anna a glass of milk. The redhead drinks it all down at once, and leaves Jack shocked.
"Man, you ladies can eat!" He says.
"It's a family thing," Elsa responds, also having a glass of milk.

Kristoff enters the kitchen and sits at the mini, rounded table that sits in the corner of the room.
"Who wants a muffin?" Elsa asks in a silly voice.
"Oh, I wish I could—but I'm stuffed," Anna answers in a low voice.
"Why won't you let me die?" Elsa asks, using a high pitched voice.
"Suicidal muffin?" Jack asks confused.
"ASDF movies," Elsa answers. "Wanna muffin?"
"Please," Jack answers.

After breakfast, a knock at the door sends everybody into a slight panic.
"I-It should be Meg," Anna says, walking to the door. "She said she'd be here today."

Anna slowly opens the door—but the woman on the other side is not Megara.
"I need to speak with Miss Elsa Christian please," Danielle says.
"O-Okay," Anna says nervously. "Elsa, it's for you."

Elsa slowly walks over to the door.
"May I speak with you please?" Danielle asks, gesturing outside.
"Uh, sure," Elsa answers nervously. She steps outside onto the porch, closing the door behind her.

Danielle walks down the steps and leans on the railing, while Elsa sits on the porch.
"What's this about?" Elsa asks.
"Well, I thought about what you said," Danielle answers. "And I've decided that; if you have somebody of legal age that can live here and is willing to take care of Anna in a responsible manner…" She pauses for a second. "Then Anna can stay."

A rush of relief and excitement quickly runs through Elsa. She nearly squeals and smiles, but manages to hold it back.
"Thank you," She says, trying to keep her voice level. Though, it's higher than normal and slightly pitched.
"You're most welcome, Miss Christian," Danielle says, turning and leaving.

Elsa slowly stands up and walks inside. Everybody looks at her nervously.
"What'd she say?" Anna asks worried.
"That you can stay," Elsa answers.

Both girls end up squealing and laughing, hugging each other and jumping around excitedly.
"Girls," Jack smirks, rolling his eyes.
"Teenage girls," Kristoff adds.

The front door opens. Meg, Belle, and Julia walk inside and Rapunzel quickly follows.
"She's staying!" Elsa says excitedly.
"I'm staying!" Anna says in the same way.

Everybody else quickly grows joyful as well.

"Today was pretty eventful," Jack says, sitting up on the snowy mountains.
"It was," Elsa agrees, looking out over the night time city.
"Would it be totally crazy if I asked you out?" Jack asks nervously.
"Depends," Elsa answers, not really listening to what he said.
"Well, then," Jack says, taking Elsa's hand nervously. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Elsa sighs and tilts her head, making eye contact with the teen boy. "Do I want to make it that easy for you?" She asks, teasingly.
"Oh, please?" Jack asks.
"Okay," Elsa answers.

Jack looks at her joyfully, but slightly confused.
"Okay; I'll go out with you," Elsa answers.

Jack quickly hugs her and she hugs him back.
"On one condition," She adds. He sighs heavily and pulls out of the hug. "What's the condition?" He asks.
"Don't spoil me," Elsa answers.
"I promise," Jack says.

Told you it was touchy. I teared up.. Did you tear up?

Thanks so much for reading! Chapter 3 will be up soon :D
