Hello! I'm CupcakeMonkey567 and this is DesertSnowQueen!

Hey everyone! Yes, we are writing a new story together when neither of us have finished our current stories, but that's what people on this site do. ,-)

Together we are CupcakeSnowQueen and this is our new story Love is Hard, Life is Hard!

This story is inspired by our #loveishard/lifeishard comments on CupcakeMonkey567's story The Four Seasons. It became a constant thing between us and we decided to turn it into a story and post it for everyone to read. We all have hardships in our lives, but what better way to deal with them than to write about them?

This first chapter was written mainly by CupcakeMonkey. DesertSnowQueen (that's me!) wrote the first three paragraphs and was the editor and publisher of this chapter. We'll switch off each chapter. Enjoy everyone!

Elsa arrived at school earlier than usual that morning. Usually she gets there the same time her boyfriend, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (yeah, she knows it's a weird name), and her best friend, Merida DunBroch, arrive. This time, however, her two friends were nowhere to be seen, so Elsa grabbed her book and settled down in their corner to wait for them.

The trio had been friends for as long as Elsa could remember. Merida is her cousin as well as her closest friend, and the two girls tell each other everything. The two have another cousin, Rapunzel, who is the same age as Anna, and they are always planning up new ways to have an adventure and find true love. So far, they have had no luck, but they're only freshmen.

Then, there was Hiccup. Merida was the one to introduce him to Elsa. She had moved from Bear Avenue to Dragon Street, less than a block away from Elsa and Anna's home on Crocus Lane, and became Hiccup's next-door neighbor. As it turned out, he was about to enroll in their school, and the three became inseparable. Eventually friendship became more between the platinum blonde and her cousin's neighbor.

Soon they started dating. Elsa remembered everything. From when Hiccup asked her to be his girlfriend, to when they shared their first kiss, to when Hiccup made a complete fool of himself trying to ask her to a school dance. He had stuttered so much that Elsa hadn't understood him. Hiccup had to repeat himself twice.

"Hey Elsa!" A voice called from down the hall.

Elsa turned away from her book and saw her boyfriend, Hiccup. "Hey Hiccup! Is Merida here?"

"She got um...delayed." Hiccup explained.

"Little brothers?" Elsa asked.

"Exactly." Hiccup answered.

"What happened this time?" Elsa asked.

The two continued to walk down the hall towards their lockers. They shared stories about their mornings as usual. Hiccup's cat, Toothless, had managed to escape. Somehow, the poor cat got stuck on their roof and couldn't get down. Hiccup had to climb all the way up there and get him down, almost falling in the process.

Elsa's morning wasn't quite as eventful. She woke up to her little sister, Anna, banging on the door, wondering where her light green, flower print shirt was. Of course, Elsa knew it was in Anna's room, tucked under her bed somewhere. Elsa got up, went downstairs, and had a bowl of cereal. Then, she got dressed and left.

"Well you've had an exciting morning." Elsa said after Hiccup was finished with his story.

"I know right." Hiccup replied. "I can't say the same for you though."

"Yeah. Nothing exciting has happened lately." Elsa sighed. "I just wish something would happen."

"Well, that's life." Hiccup said.

"I just thought that life would be a little more fun." Elsa explained. "Not so boring."

"Well, maybe something will happen." Hiccup said.

The bell rang and students were trying to make their way to their classes. The crowds that kept themselves to their lockers had now spread out in all directions. It was like the school had suddenly come to life.

"I'll see you at lunch Hiccup. Maybe we can find Merida." Elsa said.

Hiccup gave Elsa a quick peck on the cheek. "See you later."

"Bye." Elsa said as she walked to geometry.

Elsa walked into the classroom and took a seat. The class had started but Elsa wasn't paying much attention. She was too busy fantasizing what her life would be like if it was interesting. Maybe she would have the powers of ice and snow and together with Anna and her flower power; they would save the world from a great darkness.

Yeah right.

Like that would ever happen. Elsa almost laughed out loud at her foolishness. She loved her life the way that it was, but she needed a little something now and then to make it interesting.

"Class dismissed!" The teacher announced. "And don't forget your assignment is due tomorrow!"

Elsa cursed out loud. She had missed her whole class. Had it really been that long? She caught up with one of her friends, Jasmine Agrabah, and asked her what the assignment was.

"Just pages 175 through 178." Jasmine answered.

"Thanks Jasmine!" Elsa said.

"No problem! Bye Elsa!" Jasmine said as she walked off.

Elsa went to her next class where she actually paid attention. After that, she went to lunch. She tried to find Hiccup in the sea of students, but it was useless. Elsa would just have to wait until she got to the table where they usually ate lunch, and she finally did. She found Merida and Hiccup sitting at the table once she got there.

"What a dreich day!" Merida exclaimed.

"Translation please." Elsa said smiling.

"I'm just sayin it's so dark an' gloomy today. I mean look!" Merida pointed at the window. She was right. Gray clouds covered the sky and it was raining.

"You're right Merida. It is pretty gloomy today. I just wish something exciting would happen!" Elsa said.

"Here we go again." Hiccup joked.

"Not funny Hiccup!" Elsa said as she playfully slapped his arm.

"Man down, man down!" He said as he dramatically fell from his seat, clutching his arm. "It hurts!"

They all laughed.

"Get up Dragon Boy." Merida teased.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I was five!" Hiccup exclaimed.

"So the Night Fury isn't real?" Elsa asked, trying to keep herself from laughing.

"No! I mean yes! I mean...ugh!" Hiccup sighed.

Elsa and Merida burst out laughing. It was a long story. Apparently, Hiccup had claimed he saw a dragon when he was five. He called it a Night Fury because you could barely see it during the night. Hiccup had also said it made a loud, screeching noise.

Elsa and Merida kept teasing him as they walked to their next class, which happened to be P.E.

And Hiccup just happened to suck at it.

"Come on Hic!" Merida called. "Why are ya way back there?" They were doing the mile out on the track. That meant four laps around the track. That was pretty easy for Merida and Elsa, but not so easy for Hiccup.

"Not funny Mer!" Hiccup replied.

Elsa laughed. "She's right Hiccup! Oh my! You're getting smaller and smaller and smaller! I can't even see you anymore! How far back is he Merida?" Elsa teased.

They both finished and collapsed into the grass laughing.

Hiccup finished two minutes after.

"How do you guys go so fast?" He asked.

"That's our little secret." Elsa said poking his nose. "I can tell you it for a price."

"Oh really?" Hiccup asked smiling. He pulled her in for a kiss. "How's that for payment?"

"Fair enough." Elsa smirked. "We just run faster."

"No fair!" Hiccup exclaimed.

Elsa and Merida burst out laughing. "You know what? Maybe I was wrong. Life is perfect the way it is." Elsa said.

"Get off your behinds and get into the locker room!" The P.E. teacher yelled when the bell rang.

Everyone got up and ran all the way to the locker rooms. "Hey Merida, do you think you can come over after school?" Elsa asked.

"Sorry lassie, but I've got to babysit my brothers." Merida replied.

"Good luck." Elsa laughed.

"I'll need it." Merida said.

They met up with Hiccup out in front of the school. "Bye Elsa!" Hiccup said as he walked with Merida back to their houses.

"Bye!" Elsa called. She turned around and walked back to Crocus Lane. She passed the familiar apple tree on Apple Street, then the rose bush on Briar Lane, and finally she found her house on Crocus Lane. Elsa knocked on the door and a overly excited, strawberry blonde answered the door.

"Elsa! You're home!" Anna said pulling Elsa in for a hug.

"Why are you home already?" Elsa asked.

"I went home early. Me and Punzie may or may not have spilled paint ALL OVER the art room." Anna explained. "I was trying to get this guy to notice me. I think he did. Is purple a good color? Because my hair was all purple."

"Woah, woah, wait, hold up." Elsa said. "You did what?"

Anna laughed nervously. "I'll tell you more about it inside." Anna said as she nudged Elsa inside.

"Hello sweetie." Her mother greeted. "Did you hear about Anna's little accident?"

Elsa laughed. "Yes. I still can't believe it though. Paint all over the art room?"

"It's true. I spilled some on Punzie, then she spilled some all over Tinkerbell, and finally Punzie's chameleon, Pascal, started to dump paint everywhere. So technically, it's his fault." Anna explained.

Their father entered the room. "Hello Elsa. Idun, can I speak with you in the kitchen?" He nervously gestured towards the door.

"Of course." Their mother replied.

"What was that about?" Anna asked once they were gone.

"I have no idea." Elsa answered.

The two girls waited for their parents to come out. They casually chatted with the servants and petted their fluffy, white cat, Olaf, when he came down the stairs. Finally, their parents came out of the kitchen.

They looked at each other and then at their daughters. "We have something to tell you." Their father, Adgar, finally said.

"What is it?" Elsa asked.

"We're moving." Her mother answered.

Elsa's life was about to get really interesting.

Hope you enjoyed the story!
