Please, Elsa

Chapter 8: Princess Rapunzel

Poop guys, I'm getting slower and slower. I have nothing in my draft at the moment, and I'm super stressed out about school and stuff that I don't even know why I'm stressing out about. Ok, negativity aside, here's chapter 8, and let's give a warm welcome applause to RAPUNZEL!!!!!!

"Elsa?" I could hear Anna calling my name.

I opened my eyes and slowly made out Anna's silhouette.

"Hey Anna." I said. Looking out the windows, I could tell that it was about noon. The sun was shining down on my bed.

"Elsa, it's noon!" Anna said, not looking exhausted at all. Maybe she woke up long before me.

"Yes." I said, still feeling tired.

"And, so," Anna continued, "let's go out right now!"

"Right now?" I echoed her words, "Oh, but, Anna, can you let me get ready first?"

"Of course! No problem! Anything you like, Elsa!" Anna spoke with such exhilaration.

I waited for her to move away from my bed, but she just stayed there, staring at me with a pair of eyes filled with excitement.

"Anna," I rose up from my bed and said, "I can't get ready with you in here."

"Oh, right!" Anna's eyebrows rose, "Alright, so, just get ready, and then I'll meet you at the front door of The Stay. See you later!"

I smiled and nodded. Slowly regaining control over my vision and thoughts, I thought of what happened with Olaf yesterday. How am I going to fix this? I thought. I fell back into my bed for a little while and covered my face, hoping to come up with a solution to it.

"Olaf!" I said once I saw him. It was odd for me to greet him before he greeted me. He was so quiet.

"Olaf?" I said his name once again.

He looked up at me. There was no Olaf-smile on his face.

"Hey, Elsa." Olaf greeted me, sounding tired.

"Little man, you look so blue," I said, and then continued with what I had in mind, "I'll be going out with Anna, and then we'll be back, okay? We'll play, or talk, or anything."

Kristoff walked up to me.

"It's okay. I'll take care of him." he said.

I nodded.

I was trying to make him feel happier, but I knew that it was not working. Elsa, you idiot, you don't even know how to cheer up your friend. I patted him on the head and smiled at him. He returned a smile. It was not as endearing as it used to look, but it was good seeing him trying to feel happy.

"I didn't know how to make Olaf feel better. I can't believe that he's actually feeling down about this." Anna said as we were walking on the streets of Corona, on our way to meet Rapunzel.

"Anna, you should know that, Olaf might be a snowman, but he's alive, and he's as human as anyone of us. Guess he just got tired of being cheerful all the time. I don't know for sure." I said, not knowing what I actually meant, but I guess it was true.

Anna looked at me with a weird expression on her face.

"Elsa, I can't believe that came out from your mouth," she said, "but I guess you're right."

"Yes, I think so too." I replied. Then, the both of us went quiet. I did not know what to say, and obviously Anna did not, either. 

"Anyway, let's just get ready for our meeting with Rapunzel." Anna said as soon as the awkward silence lasted for 5 seconds. Anna, the silence-breaker.
