Neighbor, Really?!

When Everything Changes 2.0

"Oh my God, Elsa! You know what, I'm also thinking the same thing!" Jack's face was so serious that it wasn't like the usual Jack. He leaned forward and rested his hand on his wife's arm. "But wait, do you remember that time we wanted to renovate the house but didn't?"

"Yes, of course I remember. At that time we didn't renovate the house because the budget wasn't enough. But now, I assure you, we have the money we need." Elsa beamed at Jack.

"Really?"

"Yeah." Elsa straightened her back and prepared to count on her fingers. "I've been thrifty all this time, haven't I? Therefore, our savings are quite a lot. Like, a lot. And, I just won a big and important case. I got a bonus which I won't tell you how much because you'll drool over the money. And again, I have a friend who sells furniture, and he promises to give me a discount if I buy furniture from him."

"Honey, how could someone transfer this much money to you? By whom is this? Olaf?" Kristoff asked in wonder, still staring at the sheet of paper which turned out to be a transfer receipt for a large amount of money.

"So, this Olaf is a friend of mine who sold his property in town a while ago. He said he wanted to live peacefully in a farm house in the countryside near the north mountain. Well, I got the buyer. And he promised to give me five percent of the money he got. That, is the five percent." Anna pointed at the paper.

Kristoff's expression was mixed of shock, disbelief, and in the end, he smiled because they got quite a lot of extra money from an unexpected source. "I see. You really got a lot, honey. You're very talented at selling things." He said, looking up from the transfer receipt.

Anna smiled blushingly at her husband's compliment. She played with the confetti that was scattered on the dining table and sprinkled it all over the place. "What do you think we're gonna do with the money, Kristoff?"

"Hmmm.. " Kristoff tapped his chin, thinking about what to do with the money. "How about we go on vacation?" He suggested.

For a second Anna looked excited but then looked doubtful. "Do you remember that you can't take any more days off? How can we go on vacation if you don't take a day off from your job?" She said, reminding that Kristoff had taken all his days off for the year so he couldn't take any more days off.

"You're right. Hmm.. " Again he stared at the transfer receipt and thought hard. He still couldn't figure out a proper and wise way to spend their extra money when they heard the sound of footsteps entering the dining room.

From the footsteps they heard, they could already guess who was coming to visit, and the amazing thing about this particular guest was that this guest had become more adept at getting into their house because he was able to open and close the door without making any noise.

When they looked up, a beaming Jack was seen entering the dining room in nothing but a black T-shirt and black sweatpants. Their eyes followed Jack who chose not to sit on a chair but instead sat on a balloon on the floor between the two of them. He put his arms around their shoulders and grinned widely.

"Hi, Barbie! Hi, Ken!" Jack greeted cheerfully. While Kristoff just sighed softly and glanced as needed, while Anna smiled sweetly.

"Hi, Jack." Said Anna, her sweet smile turning to horror as Jack pressed his butt against the balloon as if he was deliberately trying to make it pop. "Careful, Jack." She warned.

But Jack didn't listen and pressed the balloon more and more until it finally popped. "Ups." He grinned even wider.

Kristoff who didn't really pay attention to what he was doing had to jump in surprise while Anna laughed amusedly.
