Jelsa: A Tale Of Two High Schools

Chapt. 16

"So your mother tells me something interesting happened earlier,"
"You could say that," Elsa said as she carefully chewed her dinner.
"Do you two want to share what happened exactly?"
"Oh you know, usual teenage dramas," Anna said dismissively.
"Usual teenage dramas?" Their mother said, "That includes the yelling and door slamming?"
"You sound like you don't have two teenage daughters," Anna teased making Elsa smirk.
"Who was the boy?" Their father asked.
"No one important,"
"And you let no one important into your room,"
"Just because the drama was usual doesn't mean it wasn't complicated." Elsa said.
"Girls," Their mother's voice held a bit of warning tone.
"He's one of Jack's friends. He was the one who got Merida to talk to me,"
"You and Merida won't talking?"
Anna and Elsa shook their heads, "But we're cool now," Elsa added.
Their parents looked at each other curiously. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"I didn't want you to worry. Especially since you both seemed more occupied with my relation with Jack,"
"Elsa you know you can tell us anything,"
"I know, but no offence Anna is better confidant in those situations," Elsa said making Anna smile proudly. "And it doesn't matter now. We worked things out,"

"So how are things with you and Kristoff?" Their father asked carefully. Anna and Elsa looked up surprised.
"Good...why do you ask?" Anna asked sceptically.
"Can't I ask about your relationships?"
"No, you can't," Elsa said.
"Normally you try to forget the fact we're dating at all,"
"Yes, well I suppose seeing as you are both getting more mature I have to accept the inevitable,"
"I'm not sure mature is the appropriate word to describe Anna," Elsa with a mischievous grin.
"Hey! I'm plenty mature,"
"Sure you are," Elsa said sarcastically.
"Of course I am, Mom, Dad tell her,"
Both parents pointy took bites of their food.
"HEY!" Anna exclaimed at their reactions.
"So, Elsa," Idun said steering the story in another direction, "Have you thought about what you want to do for your birthday?"
"My birthday isn't until next month. Don't you think you should be more concerned with Christmas,"
"It's never too early to start planning,"
"You know I don't care for anything too big, maybe just a few friends over. Besides you'll have to save up for whatever huge blowout Anna is planning for her own celebration come spring," Elsa said jabbing her sister in the side.
"Is it pick on Anna day?" The younger girl said swatting away Elsa's hands.
"It's always pick on Anna day in my book." Elsa teased.
"I hate you,"
"I love you too," Elsa replied.

Anna followed her arms, turning her head away from her sister.
"Oh, so you're going to give me the silent treatment now,"
Anna didn't answer, keeping her head stiffly turned away from Elsa.
"Good luck with that, you do remember you only last two hours the last time."
Anna still didn't answer.

Elsa was impressed, not only had the girl lasted more than two hours, but by the time they were ready to go to sleep Anna still hadn't spoken to her. Elsa looked out the window at the blustering white wall of snow.
"Looks like it's going to be a heavy fall tonight," She commented. Anna made no indication she heard Elsa's words.
"I just got my best friend only to lose my sister?" Elsa teased. Anna was no Merida. She'd never be able to go very long without talking to her sister. Elsa guessed by breakfast she'd be chatting like her normal self. Her guess was wrong. It was earlier. That night Elsa was woken when she felt her mattress shift.

"Anna?" She need not say the word with a questioning tone. She knew it was Anna.
"Aren't you supposed to be mad with me?" Elsa teased. Anna nodded in response. The elder girl's tone softened, "Bad dream?" Anna nodded again. "It's alright. I'm right here," She kissed Anna's brow lightly and pulled her into a tight embrace rubbing soothing circles in the younger girl's back. She started to hum 'Vi har el Tulle' their favourite lullaby.
"Thanks Elsa," Anna said quietly.
"I'm always going to be there for you, where'd you're mad with me or not."
"I know,"
"Go to sleep now. I'll fight away the nightmares if they try to come again."
Anna giggled, "I'm not three anymore. I know you can't fight nightmares,"
"Of course you can. All big sisters can fight the nightmares,"
"Mhh," Anna nuzzled closer to Elsa. The big sister continued to hum until she heard Anna's light snores. She smiled and kissed her brow again, whispering "Sweet dreams,"
