Room 316, Friday Evening

Barry stood outside Elsa's door and let out a long sigh of irritation. Between Sara showing up uninvited and the whole Elsa/Anna thing, he was ready for this weekend to be done and over with. He probably would have let the whole "Elsa-staying-away-from-her-sister" slide since he knew Elsa's side of the story but... Well Jeremy was being a royal ( Read more... )

Okay, so maybe Anna had had a couple of fizzy drinks since Elsa didn't want to talk to her. And now Elsa did want to talk to her, according to her boyfriend (HER BOYFRIEND?!) so Anna had taken off at a run.

Without, erm. Asking what room Elsa was in, exactly. Which was okay! Because she had stopped a couple of people in the hallways and described her sister and maybe knocked on a wrong door or two, but here, this one, she was pretty sure was Elsa's. Like, 98.5%? Maybe even 98.8.

So she smoothed her hair down and tried to compose herself and knocked. Elsa wanted to talk to her, even though Elsa had ... just run away from her, like not more than an hour or two ago. Barry wasn't lying, was he? Because that was not a very nice thing to lie about.

Anna was hoping she didn't look too eager. She could be mature about this. Elsa had decided to allow her to come in, then fine, they would just chat like mature, grown-up acquaintances. That was fine by her.

Okay. Deep breath. In. Out. Elsa could do this. Elsa could steel up her courage, square her shoulders and then answer the door. It would be a novel sort of change of pace. After all, Elsa hadn't answered the door for Anna since they were both very small.

So. Here goes. Door... opening. Opening.

Open. And Elsa was standing there once again trying to look poised, but she couldn't quite keep the nervousness from her face.

"Anna," she said, gently. "Come in?"

That was such a novel string of words, all put together like that.

Anna wasn't nervous Anna wasn't nervous Anna wasn't nervous Anna wasn't nervous.

Come in. It was. She'd dreamed about Elsa saying those words, from the other side of her big imposing doors, and now, she really was saying it. It wasn't the same room but that was not exactly the point.

The point was that Elsa was letting her in, and that one was both literal and metaphorical, so there.

"Okay!" she said, excitedly. "I mean, yes. I mean, hello. I'm -- going to come in, now. I'm coming in. In, is what's happening."

Good. This was going swimmingly.

"Whenever you're ready to, of course," Elsa amended, stepping aside and smiling faintly to herself. "Make yourself comfortable. That bed there is mine, the other belongs to Kaylin, and there are chairs..."

Because maybe Anna hadn't noticed that there were chairs?

"... Be careful if you sit on my bed. It's a little bouncy."

In that it was actually a trampoline, courtesy of Barry.
