A/N: Welcome to chapter thirty two of Strawberry Thief! This one did come earlier so hurray! Now let's get moving!

I don't own Frozen or the mentioned Disney Characters, please enjoy.

"Absolutely not" Anna said as she and Elsa stood by one of the rides. It was the one that had no seatbelts and swayed back and forth, getting higher and higher with each swing until you felt like it was going to flip over and everyone would fall out. It was Elsa's suggestion, and Anna was having none of it. She would ask Amelia to back her up, but she and Fawn had decided to divide off and go check out the livestock. There would be a showing of animals today and Fawn wanted to go watch. So now it was just Anna and Elsa alone at the festival. And Elsa was eager to get on the ride.

"Elsa, this ride looks like a death trap, I'll just watch from the safety of the ground" Anna said nervously.

"It is okay, the momentum won't let you fall, and even if it did, I would just catch you" Elsa said as if it were the simplest solution in the world. And while the assurance was very strong. Anna was still a bit skeptical.

"Please Anna, it won't be fun without you" Elsa said before batting her eyes and throwing her a seductive smile. Making Anna blush and stutter,

"B-But" she said. It was the only thing she could get out at the moment. The look Elsa was giving her was very distracting.

"I won't let you fall" she promised with a silvery purr, wrapping her arms around the shorter woman's waist. And then they stared at each other, and eventually, which was about five seconds later, Anna reluctantly agreed to ride the ride with Elsa. And as they gave their tickets to the ticket collector, Anna gave Elsa's hand the vice grip. However to Elsa, it felt like a gentle squeeze,

"Be calm my love, nothing will harm you" Elsa assured before she pressed her forehead to Anna's, making her blush and nod. Funny things can happen on festival rides. You can really learn a lot about yourself. And so can everyone around you. Elsa learned that if Anna is terrified, her vocabulary becomes worse than that of an Army drill Sergeant.

Meanwhile, Fawn and Amelia were watching the cow showing. They had all sorts come out before, dairy cows, Angus, breeds of that nature. And now they had just finished the brahma cows.

"So, how is the winner determined? I was never one for FFA or 4-H in my youth" Amelia asked. Fawn, who was lazily leaning against the cold metal gates, simply shrugged.

"Not a clue, it's just fun to watch" she then snorted with a stifled giggle. Amelia raised her eyebrows in slight surprise, but her face returned to a neutral state.

"Oh check it out, they're bringing out some lambs, how cute!" Fawn cooed.

"I prefer to eat them" Amelia said with a sudden wicked grin. The much shorter woman guffawed before swatting at the captain's stomach.

"That was awful" she snorted.

"Oh yes, but it's true. Would you care to walk with me to the rabbits? They always have a lovely little bunnies you can hold" Amelia said.

"Lead the way, dear lady" Fawn said with a fake English accent, linking arms with Amelia. Then the two began to walk. Laughing more about the animals. Never breaking their arms apart.

"And so I said, well if you have a thing about dirt, why take the gloves off?" Anna said as she and Elsa stood in line for some funnel cake. Anna explained what it was, but Elsa took a major pass. Deep fried anything didn't sound very appealing. Only fruit, chocolate, and Anna made her mouth water. Suddenly a savory idea popped into her mind. Why not combine all three? Oh what a treat that would be! She loved how her mind thought gave her such naughty ideas, but yet again, it's always good to think ahead right?

"Very true" Elsa commented, but she suddenly scrunched her nose in disdain. The unpleasant concoction of human sweat, oil, and exhaust. Anna happened to glance her way and noticed how sick Elsa seemed to suddenly become. Her eyes narrowed into concern,

"Els, what's the matter?" Anna asked in concern, pulling herself and the blonde out of line.

"It's nothing important" Elsa said dismissively, however her face told a whole different story.

"Well if it wasn't important, so let's try this again, what's wrong?" Anna asked more sternly.

"Very well, do you remember how I told you that a vampire's nose is very sensitive?" Elsa questioned. Anna nodded,

"Good, because I can smell everything, the good and bad, but it's a little overwhelming" Elsa confessed. The new information made an idea pop into Anna's mind.

"Well, lucky for you, I know a place in the festival that should fix that, come on!" Anna smiled as she grabbed Elsa's hand and began to pull her away from the food area. She knew a place that Elsa would appreciate!

"I cannot believe that you bought that thing" Amelia said with slight concern. In a plastic cat carrier, Fawn was carrying a rabbit. A little brown Holland lop, however this one was a little. . sort of. . kind of. . evil.

"Nonsense, he's absolutely adorable" Fawn smiled. The statement made the Captain roll her eyes. Oh sure, even though that little hairball hopped around squealing and scratching at everyone that came near its hutch. It was no wonder the owner was selling him. And for so cheap at that.

"Oh yes, a vicious brown furred demon, such a sweet creature" Amelia said with heavy sarcasm.

"Great, I'm glad you see it my way" Fawn chuckled, clearly not catching the obvious sarcasm. The taller woman sighed in slight exasperation, but chose to say nothing more on the matter. It was clearly a losing battle. Suddenly Fawn stopped.

"Something the matter dear?" Amelia asked. Fawn's nose flared before she chuckled.

"Yup, everything's fine, just had a passing thought. Are you hungry?" Fawn asked.

"Well, now that you mention it, I could go for something, and I know just the stand! Follow me" Amelia said before taking Fawn's hand and guiding her to the food court.

"Anna, where are we going?" Elsa asked. It seemed to be the fifteenth time that the blonde supernatural had asked that. However Anna refused to answer, but she had an eager smile.

"Don't worry about it, besides you should be able to smell it anyway" Anna giggled as she pulled around a corner. Then out of literally nowhere, all the stands, buildings and rides disappeared, and a path of potted flowers appeared. Elsa raised a curious brow, what on earth? And just as Anna said, a new, more appreciated smell filled her nostrils. It was earthy, delicate, but so pleasant.

"Anna" Elsa started as she was pulled towards a large, baby blue tent. And inside, was filled with all kinds of flowers. Most were out of their normal season, but it was beautiful just the same. Orchids, roses, marigolds, daffodils, hydrangeas, every flower you could think of, it was guaranteed to be in here. And it certainly beat the rest of the festival's previous smells.

"Do you like it? This where the flower show is held whenever the festival comes to town. Before I met you, I would always come here when I needed some peace and quiet and something better to smell" Anna said with a sincere smile. This gesture was truly a heartfelt one. Something she learned to love about Anna. A fine woman with a genuine heart. She was a great mate indeed. Even if she was not her official mate. Yes it was true. Granted her instincts confirmed that Anna was her mate, it was not a "sealed deal". Since Anna was human, she was only half. But, if she were become a vampire, than her status as Elsa's mate would be whole. However, there was a process that had to be gone through. Something that would have to be brought up soon.

"Elsa? Are you okay?" Anna asked worriedly. Elsa shook her head and looked slightly down to dee the red head's worried, yet amused gaze. Apparently she had become lost in her thoughts.

"Yes love I'm fine, just a thought is all" Elsa smiled.

"Good, you had me worried there for a second. You looked like you were in outer space" Anna chuckled.

"Did I? Well I have returned, so please, show me around this wondrous place" Elsa said.

"Okay, let's go check out the exotic flowers! I heard they have some really good ones!" Anna exclaimed before pulling Elsa further into the tent. It would have more shade, and protect Elsa from the sun, should she fall asleep in there. Which of course she did about half way through the tour. Anna was showing her the rose section when Elsa suddenly changed into a bat and flopped onto the ground in a deep sleep. Luckily no one was around, so Anna picked her up and hid her in her hoodie. However she continued her venture before leaving to go check out the artistic part of the festival.

The sound of boisterous laughing could be heard on the benches in the outdoor food court. And if you what to look for, you would find Fawn and Amelia laughing it up as their food bounced around the table, due to the pounding her fist on the wooden table top.

"S-So let me know if I misunderstood, Anna thought I had a crush on you?" Amelia grinned as she calmed down.

"Yeah, that's what Elsa told me anyway. I mean you're cool and everything, but the farthest our relationship will go is friendship" Fawn said.

"I agree, now, remind me to have a talk with Anna later, she tends to get her hopes up in situations like these" Amelia sighed with a fond smile.

"No problem, so, are you up for a rollercoaster ride?" Fawn asked hopefully.

"Naturally, I live for dangerous and exciting things, but I'd rather finish eating first" Amelia grinned.

"Why? Are you trying to throw up during the ride or after?" the animal vampire asked jokingly.

"Ha, you dare underestimate me? I'll have you know that I have a titanium stomach, it's a Gladden family trait" Amelia said proudly.

"Ten bucks says you lose it after we ride three of the rougher rides" Fawn said with a challenging glint in her eye. Amelia matched the look with a smirk,

"You're on shorty" Amelia agreed before continuing to eat her food.

After a long day at the fair, it was time for everyone to head home. Amelia had proudly bragged about the fact that she had won four bets that day with Fawn, and she now had one hundred and fifty dollars stashed away in her pocket. But when she was asked where Elsa was, Anna told her that Elsa had to go check on the dogs, but would be back to pick her up.

"Really Fawn? You bet she would lose her lunch on these rides? That's like betting that a duck can outfly a falcon" Anna sighed with an amused smile. Elsa did not share the humor, seeing as she was sleeping at the moment. She had taken refuge in Anna's hoodie pocket. Leaving Anna to hold the prizes won that day. And Anna secretly hoped that Elsa would not have solar sickness tomorrow.

"Well I know that now!" she grumped.

"There, there my dear friend, look on the bright side, now I can buy that boot polish I've been needing and I can brag to my Lieutenant about it" Amelia grinned. The short brunette merely rolled her eyes.

"Which reminds me, Anna dear, we need to talk" Amelia said giving Anna knowing gaze.

"Am I in trouble?" Anna asked jokingly.

"Semi" Amelia answered. She then escorted Anna a couple meters from Fawn. Even though she would hear the whole conversation anyway. And it was a little funny.

"Anna, it seems that you had a slightly misguided idea running through your mind" she heard Amelia say.

"What are you talking about?" Anna answered sounding somewhat surprised, but there was a hint of nervousness.

"A little birdy told me that you thought that I had romantic feelings for our dear friend Fawn" Amelia continued. Making Fawn grin a little bit.

"What? Who told you that?" Anna asked, her tone of voice giving away her guilt. Fawn had learned that Anna was not a very good liar long ago.

"Yes, and what I have I told you about making assumptions about people or their feelings?" Amelia asked in a reprimanding voice. Fawn couldn't wait to hear the obvious answer.

"Do I have to say it?" Anna asked.

"Yes" Amelia answered with no hesitation. Fawn then heard her sigh,

"Making an assumption can make an ass out of you and me, intentional or not" Anna recited.

"That's right, now, I love you dear, but Fawn and I are just friends, one of the best I've had in quite some time aside from you and Elsa" Amelia said before pulling Anna into a hug.

"Now be sure to apologize to Fawn too, and don't worry about our romantic lives, I'm sure we're fine on our own" Amelia chuckled.

"Sorry Kitty" Anna apologized.

"Don't worry about it, now come on" Amelia said before hugging her shorter friend. Then the two walked back to Fawn, where Anna apologized to Fawn. All was forgiven, and then after a few more verbal exchanges, everyone took off for the night, promising to take another group outing in the near future. Anna took off to her car and drove home, Elsa still sleeping in her lap. When they got home, Anna placed all their prizes on the bed, then, as a mixture of a joke and curiosity, Anna placed the snow colored fruit bat in the plushy pile. She quietly gave a sigh in adoration and humor. Elsa had a stark difference from the corny festival prizes, given that she was an animal. But it was still cute. She quickly snapped a few quiet pictures before sending them to Fawn. She was going to get a kick out of this.
