Author's Note: Hey guys! Me again! I know I said that this chapter would be up 'real soon', and right now doesn't justify to that but at least it's not a full month eh? -sits in the corner- Well the truth, I was kinda busy. I just got a job and we had a company outing last Saturday, which was the day I was supposed to post this. Then why not Sunday or Monday you ask? That is because our internet just came back today too so yea, please forgive me, I hope I could make it up in this chapter since the wheels are finally set and running!
Guest: Thank you! I'm glad you loved it! You don't have to wait anymore because I now present Chapter 4! :D
I do not own Frozen nor How to Train Your Dragon.
Enjoy!
"Hey sis, where are you going?" Anna asked as she poked her head inside Elsa's room, right in time to see her older sister reassessing herself in front of the mirror. She had a sky-blue chiffon blouse and faded blue jeans on and white boat shoes. Anna raised a brow. Today was Saturday wasn't it? Elsa usually stayed home to watch Netflix on Saturdays so what's with the get-up? She watched Marshmallow, Elsa's giant white Chow-chow, roll around on the sheets of her sister's bed, making it a crumpled mess. Elsa didn't seem to mind though, she always had a soft spot towards the animals.
Elsa tied her platinum blonde hair into a French braid and turned to look at Anna. "Kristoff's having a barbeque. Wanna come with?" She grinned.
Anna let out a snort. "No thanks!" She answered and whirled to leave the room. Elsa followed her out.
"Why do you dislike Kristoff so much?"
Anna rolled her eyes heavenward. "Why do you like him so much?" She shot back.
Elsa grabbed her sister's shoulder and turned her so they would be facing each other. "Kristoff is my friend Anna." She sternly stated, with half-lidded eyes it was as if she was looking down at her own sister.
Anna sighed in frustration. "But Elsa," She drawled, "he's weird, I don't think he takes enough baths, he barely has any manners, and quite frankly, I think he's an ice maniac!"
Elsa raised a brow.
"I mean, not that you are. You're not that obsessed."
Elsa released her hold on Anna's shoulders. "Oh Anna, you and your wild imagination." She chuckled and headed towards the stairs. "Kristoff's not an ice maniac. He'll probably be the nicest guy you'll ever get to meet just as long as you give him the chance." She gave Anna a smile. "I got to go. I'll be back before eleven." She called out as she descended the stairs. Marshmallow came running after her like a madman and nearly knocked her over when he failed to do a full stop.
Anna laughed as she watched the whole scene unfold. "I think someone wants to go with you." She pointed out.
Elsa crouched down so that she was on eye level with her dog, "Oh sweetie I can't bring you along. If I did then I would have to bring Olaf as well."
Anna's ears perked up at those words and she beamed brightly and instantly slid down the stairway's handle. "I can take care of Olaf!" She yelped.
Both Elsa and Mashmallow turned and gave her a look. "What? Im perfectly capable. Besides, I wanted to go have a walk in the park anyway!" She giggled in glee.
Elsa stood up and walked towards Anna and looked her straight in the eye. "Are you sure? You barely help me give them baths and you don't clean up after their poop." She told her matter-of-factly.
Anna did a double-take then and bit her lower lip. She furrowed her brows and gulped. "Easy peasy, how hard could it be?" She waved off and gave a nervous laugh.
Elsa reassessed her and frowned. "Only if you're sure?"
"Elsa please, I can take care of him just fine! It's high time I help you out with something right? Who knows I could do a business around it, 'I will babysit your precious canine for just five bucks an hour!'"
The older Arendelle sibling laughed at that and placed a reassuring hand on the younger sister's shoulder. "All right. I trust you okay? Call if anything happens and please try to control him when you leave the house especially when you're walking alongside the road, you know how easily excited he gets and how easily distracted." She rambled.
Anna chuckled and held the hand and gave it a light squeeze. "Elsa, it's going to be fine. Now, go on and go to your little get-together!" She practically pushed Elsa out of the house; Marshmallow was just glad they were going out and was about to do something together.
"I'll tell Kristoff you said hi." Elsa chuckled as she opened the passenger's seat of her car, making Marshmallow jump right in.
Anna rolled her eyes heavenward and made a barfing gesture in response as she held the door open. Olaf peeked out from the just then looking at all the commtion. He was a small white Duschand that often gave off a goofy face. "Oh hey little man." Anna cooed and picked the dog up as they watched Elsa head off to the driver's seat.
"You two have fun." She called out to them.
Anna smiled and waved Olaf's hand. "Bye bye mommy." She grinned, and as they watched the car move out of the driveway and drive away until they could no longer be seen, Anna did a fist pump and along with Olaf, went back inside the house. She grabbed her celphone and giggled. There were three new messeges. One was from Merida and the other two were from the gorgeous guy from the party. She opened them first.
Aw 2 bad, I was thinkin that we could go catch a movie or somethin and probably get dinner 2. And dont worry, Ill be sure to bring u back before curfew. We wouldn't want a repay of thursday night now would we? -H
The huntsman movie is out rn. With ur go, I'm gonna get us d tickets. -H
Anna squealed in delight. She practically loved Chris Hemsworth! She was about to send a go but remembered the hotdog of fur at her feet playing with a rubber ball. She sighed, well the original plan was to take care of Olaf so she could go out in the first place but she couldn't bring a dog to the cinema. So with a heavy heart she replied...
Sry cant. I gotta take care of our other dog :( but if its aright with u maybe we can just have a walk in the park instead? Get some sandwiches or sumthin? -Anna
She hit the send button and anxiously waited for him to reply. She hoped he'd say yes even though it wasn't as fancy as the movies, but they'd still be able to spend some time together and that's what matters right? Her ringtone sounded and she immediately opened the message.
Sounds like a plan! I love sandwiches! :D -H
She squealed in delight and collapsed on the sofa and shook in glee. She was going to see him again! After two days she was finally seeing him again and maybe this time sparks were going to fly.
Hiccup stared at himself at the mirror. He sure wasn't expecting for the day to be today, and he only had but a few minutes to spare before he should get going. He had on a forest-green v-neck shirt and dark brown pants and a pair of worn-out sneakers. His hair was in its usual unruly state and not even a comb could probably help it. Not like he ever associated himself with one in the first place. He preferred the more natural style of combing... using his own fingers.
"Meooooooow." Toothless sounded as if saying 'Let's go already I think Kristoff's making me smoked salmon.'
"Okay, okay, let's go." Hiccup mumbled and grabbed his keys on the shelf.
Elsa locked her car and held Marshmallow's leash securely so he won't run off. The big dog soon started to tug to the left and started barking. Elsa furrowed her brows and looked up to see the boy from across the street, as she would like to refer to him since she didn't know his name. She knew he just noticed her then since he suddenly stopped walking and just zoned out. She chuckled behind her hand and looked at the item of Marshmallow's attention. Her eyes widened. "Wow that's a huge cat." She commented. The black cat which reached a couple inches above her knees just stared lazily at them, shifting from the canine to her and back to the dog.
That caught Hiccup's attention and he lowered his gaze. "Uh yeah. His name is Toothless, he's a Norwegian Forest Cat. He's… not that good with strangers."
Elsa's blue orbs glinted merrily. "Oh I see!" She exclaimed and approached them and crouched down to Toothless. "I'm from Norway too. It's a pleasure to meet a countryman, I hope we can be friends." She told him and held out her hand. She was about to pet him when Marshmallow came beside her and she turned to smile reassuringly to her dog. Toothless pressed his head onto her still outstretched hand then which surprised the two humans. When Elsa turned back to him he stared at her for a few seconds and scurried away and tried to climb up on Hiccup's shoulders. Elsa laughed as the boy nearly toppled over. She stood up and ruffled Marshmallow's head. "This is Marshmallow, he's a chow-chow if that wasn't obvious already."
Before Hiccup could reply, the door to Kristoff's house opened and the burly blonde came out. "There you guys are! What are you doing out in the heat? Come on in!" He called out.
Elsa smiled and motioned for Marshmallow to follow her inside with Hiccup carrying Toothless walking right behind them.
"So I'm guessing there isn't a need for introductions?" Kristoff asked as they walked through the hallway of his house, it was made out of hardwood and picture frames hung at each side.
"No please do. I haven't caught his name yet." She sheepishly said as she referred to Hiccup who looked away to hide a small blush. How could she be so rude as not to introduce herself but expressing to become friends with his cat?
Kristoff stopped and turned to the both of them, a sly grin on his face. "Elsa, this guy here is Hiccup. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third. We've known each other since way back kindergarten. Hiccup, meet Elsa. Elsa Arendelle. I believe you've already noticed that we work together."
Hiccup mentally strangled him right then and there but Elsa turned to him with wide eyes. "Your name's actually Hiccup?' She said, completely flabbergasted.
Kristoff snorted and Hiccup let out a shaky laugh. "Yeah. Blame it on my parents. But trust me it isn't the worst name around. I have friends with weirder names." He answered. Elsa, a pretty name for a pretty girl. He wanted to say that her name fit her perfectly.
Elsa laughed and held out her hand. "I'm sorry if that seemed rude. It's really nice to meet you Hiccup. Finally, a name to the face."
Hiccup's eyes widened and he grasped her hand and smiled widely. "Exactly what I was thinking! It's a pleasure and don't worry, I get that a lot." He could feel his heart beat wildly against his rib cage as if it was about to burst any second now. Her hand was soft though not as soft as those who has never worked their entire life and she really had blue eyes. The bluest blue he has ever seen.
"Is that Elsa I see?"
Elsa released her hand from Hiccup's and she turned to see Kristoff's mother standing at the end of the hall with a big smile on her small, plump features. She smiled brightly in return and approached her and fell into the woman's open arms for a hug. "The one and only Mrs. T."
Bulda Troll laughed heartily and patted the young lady on the back affectionately before she broke the hug. "No wonder someone smelled so good in here." She then noticed the young man behind her son, "My, my if it isn't little Hiccup! No wonder the nice smell was times two today!" She exclaimed and Hiccup waved at her and approached her slowly. "Well you sure aren't little anymore! C'mere and give an old lady a hug!" She said and pulled him into a hug as Elsa returned to Kristoff's side.
"Still young Mrs. T." Hiccup uttered and they shared a laugh.
"She really loves hugs." Kristoff whispered.
"I know." Elsa whispered back and the both of them chuckled.
"Now I'll leave you kids to your barbeque, but don't forget to call me when it's done! Oh and by the way, Kristoff, sweetheart, we're out of coal so I guess you should buy some." Bulda told them and headed upstairs. "Have fun kids!" She called out.
"Aw man. I'm sorry guys I thought we still had some." Kristoff mumbled and ruffled his hair.
"It's fine man, I can go out and buy some." Hiccup volunteered.
"I'll come with!" Elsa chirped in. "It'll be faster, we can take my car. Besides, I need ice cream." She said and got her car keys out of her pocket. "Kristoff keep an eye out on Toothless and Marshmallow would you, and you could also get the grill and food ready while you're at it."
"I will, I will." He said and shrugged his shoulders. He elbowed Hiccup and gave him a thumbs up when Elsa headed out the door, leaving Toothless and Marshmallow on a staring battle.
Hiccup breathed in a nervous breath and followed after her. "Toothless, I'll see you in a few bud." He told him but the cat ignored him. Hiccup shook his head in disbelief and just followed after Elsa.
"Elsa, it's fine. Olaf and I are just out having a walk in the park, and no, we did not bump into trouble on the way here." Anna exasperatedly reassured her over-protective sister. Hans arrived and sat beside her in the bench and handed her a baloni sandwich. She mouthed the words 'Thank you.' which the man replied with a 'No problem.'
Hans leaned behind the chair and placed his arm over Anna's shoulders, making her blush madly. "Elsa, I gotta go okay? I see the ice cream truck!" She yelped and hung up her phone before her older sister could say anything more.
"She really cares about you." Hans commented.
Anna snorted. "A little bit too much. I mean, ever since mom and dad died she's been like that, nearly watching my every move like a hawk stalking its prey. Can't she understand that I can take care of myself just fine?" She sighed and watched Olaf run around with some other dogs.
Hans held her hand and turned her face to look at him. "She just doesn't want you to get hurt."
Anna smiled and she could feel herself get all giddy inside. Hans leaned in and she wondered if he could hear her heart beat, because that was the only thing she heard right now. She closed her eyes but as they were about two inches away from each other, she pressed her hand against his chest and looked away. Hans looked at her in confusion. "I'm… I'm sorry but I think we're go-going a little too fast." She stammered and folded her hands together.
Hans held her hand and smiled apologetically at her. "I'm sorry. But I really do like you."
If she could swoon like those women in the movies, she'd do it right then and there. "I really like you too Hans." Just as the words came out an anguished, high-pitch cry rang throughout the park. Anna whipped her head to the direction and bolted up her seat. "Olaf!"
