The rest of the week flew by, and it was the start of spring term. Elsa woke up bright and early, not because she wanted to, but because she couldn't sleep. Elsa was dreading seeing everyone in class the play was due to be performed Friday; and it was Monday. Elsa was nowhere near ready.

She still wasn't sure if she could say the word girlfriend yet. Not that she wanted to try either, if she got it wrong now, alone in her own home, what chance did ever have of doing it in front of the whole school? It was going to be a long day, and week.

Anna was the complete opposite, she'd slept like a baby and couldn't wait for Kristoff to pick her up that morning. Well, she would have preferredElsa to be picking her up, but the blonde completely refused. She demanded that their 'status' (whatever that meant) was kept secret. Anna knew Elsa could do it, she'd come so far over the last few months. Elsa was such a good actress, surely her talent would overcome any nerves and emotions on the big day.

The drive to the school with Kristoff and Sven was unusually quiet, the boys knew how frustrated Hans was getting, but they didn't want to tell Anna. She was in such a good mood; they didn't have the heart to ruin it.

"What's up with you guys?" Anna asked.

"Nothing." Both said at once.

"Doesn't sound like nothing."

"Well it is." Kristoff said.

Anna pouted. She assumed Kristoff would've been asking loads of stupid questions, and mocking her for being right. She'd hoped all night that he wouldn't say anything; but now he was quiet she actually regretted that.

"Come on, what's going on?"

"Hans is fucking pissed." Sven said, still looking forward.

"Fuck, Sven! I told you to leave it."

Anna stuck her head between the two front seats. "So? Why do you guys care?"

"Well now Sven's opened his big mouth… He's- He's looking for replacements. We saw an ad online."

"Wait, what?"

"-And we're not sure if he's found anyone yet. But the ad was even offering pay,Anna."

"You guys are joking with me right?" Anna said, head turning back and forth between the two boys. Her smile slowly dropped when she realised they were serious. "Fuck, he can't do this. Can he?"

"Well the ad's still online, look." Sven said, passing Anna his phone.

I'm looking for two actresses, late teens or early twenties to play lead roles in an upcoming play. Very short notice. Email me personally for salary negotiations.

-Hans

Anna passed the phone back without a word. In-fact, the rest of the drive was silent too. They arrived at the school and walked to class.

Elsa was already there, and smiled toothily as she watched Anna walk in and take a seat at the front of the class. She hadn't even glanced at Elsa, who's smile quickly disappeared. She'd just taken her old seats with Kristoff and Sven. Elsa felt a pain inside her chest. Was Anna mad that she refused to give her a lift? Maybe she thinks I'm ashamed of people knowing our -relationship… She wouldn't think that? Anna knows better, doesn't she?

She didn't have much time to think about it, because Hans came strolling in. "I realise I'm quite early but I want to take Anna and Elsa out for a quick chat. Girls." He nodded, indicating for them to follow him.

Anna looked to Kristoff in desperation. He could only shrug. She glanced over her shoulder to Elsa, who was looking very confused. Anna couldn't give up, there was no way she was letting someone take their parts. So she pushed her chair back and marched after Hans.

The girls followed him to his office, where he sat behind his desk and offered the girls two chairs opposite him, which they both hesitantly took. "I'm sure you're wondering what this is all about-"

"Yes" Anna interrupted. "W-We are." She then added.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not good news. I'm not sure which is the best way to put it but-"

"You're replacing us." Anna finished for him.

"What, how did you find out?" Hans said, suddenly sitting up in his seat.

"I've seen the post online."

Hans face suddenly dropped.

"And does the school realise you're spending their money on hiring people, because you can't teach properly?"

There was a long moment of silence. Hans' face was very blank, mulling over every little detail that Anna had said. "Anna I'm not going to allow you to ruin this for me."

"Ruin what?"

"The play! Do you realise how much is riding on this? It could make me! This could be it. The whole of the town's press will be here Anna, and I'm not taking any risks with her." He said, throwing his arm in Elsa's direction.

The blonde girl had been sat, wide eyed the entire time. Questions pooling around in her head. She was taking shallow breaths; this could be the end of her acting career.

"HER has a name!" Anna shouted.

Hans chuckled to himself. "I'm sure she does."

"I-I'll report you to the school."

"And then what Anna? You two act out the scene? This one can't say the word girlfriend?"

"She can! Can't you Elsa?" Anna said, tuning to give Elsa a smile.

Another silence was upon them, until Hans started chuckling again. "What's your deal anyway Elsa? You're obviously a closeted lesbian. Isn't it ironic that you can't say the very word that you desire most?" He smiled, nodding his head towards Anna.

Anna watched as ice started to fill the floor all the way to the walls, then slowly climb. Her view then switched to Hans, who was mouthing 'what the fuck' over and over. His hands tightly gripped the arms of his chair, and his legs were kicking, trying to wheel his chair backwards. He wasn't having much luck on the slippery floor. Snow started to form in the air and hang, still and motionless.

"Elsa?" Anna said, as the girl got out of her seat and ran for the door. Anna tried to grab her hand but missed.

"What the fuck is going on Anna!?" Hans somewhat screamed, eyeing the floating particles of snow that floated in front of his face.

"Nothing, and don't you dare tell anyone, or-or you'll get it." Anna said, adding the treat onto the end as an afterthought.

Anna ran out of the room to see the main doors of the department closing. "Elsa!" Anna shouted, as she ran to the doors and barrelled through them. "Elsa wait!". She ran down the steps and into the parking lot. Just in time to see an R8 pull out and speed off towards the main road. "Shit." What am I going to do now? Anna thought. The ice!

She ran back inside; her first task was to keep everyone out of that room. Entering the main classroom, she saw that Hans wasn't there. Must be still in his office. "Everyone!" Anna shouted to the class to get their attention. She paused for a few seconds then continued. "Hans said there is no class today, everyone's dismissed."

There was a cheer and all the students darted for the door. All except Kristoff and Sven. Who asked "What's going on?"

Anna looked at them, then to the door, then back to the boys; both sat on the front row. She ran a shaking hand through her hair as she paced up and down. "What am I going to do?" Her hand down rubbing her forehead. "Where would she go? Home? Hans! He-He might-"

"Alright calm down Anna." Kristoff said jumping up and trying to get the girl to sit for a moment. "People get dropped from plays all the time, it can't be that bad?" He led her over to a seat.

Anna's bottom touched the chair of all of one second before she bolted up again, as another thought popped into her head. "We-we need to find her. She might leak! I-in public!"

"What?" Kristoff blinked.

"I-I need to go." Anna said over her shoulder as she ran once again through the main doors into the parking lot. She stopped dead when she realised she didn't have a car.

Kristoff and Sven were soon beside her, looking out over the sea of cars.

"KRISTOFF! You drive, we need to find Elsa."

"She's fine Anna. Sure she might be taking it bad right now; but in the morning-"

"You don't understand Kristoff!"

"Then make us understand Anna, you're not making a lot of sense right now." Sven chimed in. "Elsa is a grown woman. I'm sure she's fine."

"You both don't get it." Anna said tears stinging in her eyes. "I'll do it myself then." She marched down the stairs.

Kristoff and Sven looked at each other. "Wait. We're coming."

They all piled into Kristoff's truck and set off. Anna's mind was going ten to the dozen, absolutely sure she was forgetting something. But only one thing mattered right now, finding Elsa, before this got any worse.

"Where are we going Anna?" Kristoff said as he approached the first set of lights.

"Where would Elsa go?"

"I've no idea." Kristoff said waving his arms around. "You're her-her? Whatever you two are."

"Why don't we just try her house?" Sven said. "I mean what else does she do? Or go?"

"You're right! She's got to be at her house."

So Anna directed Kristoff to the mansion. Completely forgetting about the gates that stopped them from getting in. "Dammit."

Kristoff leaned out of the window and pressed the button on the intercom system. They sat in silence for a few minutes. All of them glancing around the car, looking at one another with depleting optimism.

"Doesn't look like she's home." Sven said.

"Shit." Was all Anna could say, as she ran another hand though her hair. It was beginning to get very messy. "I know, I'll call her!" She scrambled for her phone and dialled Elsa. It began to ring. Pick up. Please pick up. Please Elsa.

"The number you have-"

"Well crap." Anna huffed.

Sven leaned forward in his seat, squinting at the windows of the mansion, trying to see if he could spot a silhouette of Elsa in any of them. "She's got to be in there. She's just ignoring us."

"I'll hop the fence and go check." Anna said opening the door.

"Wait! You've got no chance!" Kristoff said following her. Just as Anna lunged Kristoff stopped her. "You're going to hurt yourself. Here, I'll do it; I used to do abseiling."

Kristoff walked to the fence, it was black with thick grids of metal. He jumped and grabbed one of the bars. He felt a wave of pain rip through his body, and his whole arm tensed as he fell back to the floor with a thud. "Fuck."

"Are you alright?" Anna and Sven ran over to the man, who was clearly in a lot of pain.

Kristoff rolled around on the floor, clutching his right arm. "Fucking hell. Who has electric fences? What does she have in there!""

"Elsa has apparently, and Anna's better for the second question." Sven deadpanned. Earning him a slap across the back of the head from Anna.

They all retreated to the car while Kristoff caught his breath. Anna was starting to get worried, she'd tried calling Elsa multiply times, as well as multiple text messages, and one E-mail. She had butterflies in her stomach, and not the good kind. Anna forced Kristoff to turn the radio on, and was relived to not hear any news about a freak snow storm, or similar. "He have to find her."

"I know, you keep saying." Kristoff said.

"Hey I have an idea! Elsa was really close with Olaf, well until she met you. Maybe he might have some ideas!" Sven said.

Anna shot him a look. "Okay, only I don't have his number."

"I think I do." Kristoff said, rummaging for his pocket, trying to ignore the pins and needles in his arm. "Yea, here Anna, you're best of speaking to him." He tossed her the phone.

Anna pressed the green button and held it to her ear. It was answered frighteningly quickly.

"Hello, Olaf speaking."

"Olaf! I-It's Anna!"

"Oh, Hi Anna how're you? Did you enjoy you enjoy your week with Elsa? Oh I bet it was amazing. She's so warm isn't she? Well she can be cold at times."

"Olaf we need your help."

"Oh. Why?"

"Elsa's ran away and we need to find her."

"She does that all the time. She's probably on the North road at the second junction. She always goes there when she's upset. Why is she upset?"

"She got dropped from the play."

"She did! S-She'll leak!"

Kristoff mouthed 'what the fuck' to Sven. It was quiet enough in the car that the boys could hear both sides of the conversation.

"I know! Wait, you know?" Anna realised the boys might be able to hear and turned her head slightly. "Why does Elsa go to the North Road?" She tried to change the subject.

"Oh that's easy. It's where her parents died."
