When Anna awoke, she didn't really wake up. She was stuck in that half-asleep state of 'five more minutes, Mom', and found it very confusing after a few seconds that she couldn't move. After a good ten seconds of mentally preparing herself, she opened her eyes.

Ah. That would be why.

Somehow, Elsa had managed to scooch up even closer in the night, and her head now rest between Anna's and the couch. Her forehead was pressed against Anna's temple, warm breath washing over the red-head's cheek. Their legs were intertwined—a not unpleasant sensation—and Elsa's left hand was resting- oh.

Anna wasn't entirely sure whether or not Elsa's hand on her boob was comfortable, but she sure as hell wasn't gonna leave it there to find out.

Jesus, though, Elsa had tiny hands-

God, why did her thoughts always turn entirely inappropriate things?

Moving Elsa's hand, she turned her head to look at the glow-in-the-dark clock on Kristoff's wall. She almost fell out of bed—er, off the couch—when she instead came face to face with a glowing blonde in a blue dress.

As in, literally. Glowing.

"Ahh!" she cried, and fell off the couch anyway. Elsa jolted awake with a similar cry, and before Anna had time to stand up, Elsa was in front of her, actually growling at the woman.

She stopped when the woman laughed, and from her position on the floor, Anna could see her cock her head. Before she had a chance to open her mouth and ask, "who the hell are you and why are you your own light source?", Elsa had jumped forward and was sniffing at the woman, running around her in circles.

"Ooh!" she cried out, grinning like a madwoman. "Anna! Anna look!"

Anna stared. "I'm looking." Her wide eyes were perceptible even in the dark, and Elsa returned to her side, bobbing up and down in excitement.

"Annnnnnaaaaaa~"

Perhaps the weirdest thing was the fact that the stranger was simply leaning against the wall, watching with a light smile on her face. Finally, Anna found her voice.

"... Who are you?"

Sliding up, she plonked herself on her sofa and glanced around, looking for a potential weapon in case the woman was a homocidal maniac.

"I'm not here to kill you, Anna," the blonde, glowing, apparently telepathic, woman said. "I'm a friend."

Anna scoffed as Elsa lifted herself onto the couch next to her. he was still grinning like an imbecile, apparently unable to keep her gaze on either Anna or the supposed-fairy, as it kept dancing around the room. "I've never made it a point to befriend radioactive people," she said. The woman let out a light laugh and stepped forward.

"I'm a fairy- your fairy. You know—'and may all your wishes come true'. And they did, did they not?"

"Um-"

"And little Elsa looks very content. Are you happy, Elsa?"

And of course, Elsa, the little traitor, gave the most heart-warming, brain-melting smile as she curled up into Anna's side and rubbed her head on her shoulder. "Elsa happy," she said, taking Anna's hand and putting it to her cheek. It took a few frustrating seconds for Anna to pick up on the fact that Elsa wanted a little scratch, but as soon as her fingers began tickling lightly over her skin, she relaxed.

"Oh, good. Well, this is just a check-in, making sure everything's sailing smoothly—Elsa's settling in all right. I'll be off. Expect me the same time next month. Toodles!"

And before Anna's very eyes, the woman began to fade. Just like Marty McFly, really. Her entire left arm was gone when Anna finally realised precisely what was happening. Screw talking to Kristoff's Pabbie, this was the source of the weekend of drama she'd been subjected to!

"Wait!" she cried out, hand leaving Elsa's soft cheeks to point at the woman. The fairy paused, looking like the Cheshire Cat as she waited for Anna to elaborate. Elsa let out a small whine and Anna shot her an apologetic look, returning her hand to scratch under Elsa's chin.

"You turned Elsa into a human? That means you can turn her back!"

The fairy looked thoughtful for a moment. "I can," she said slowly, "but I won't."

The way Anna's face fell was completely comical, and the fairy let out a short bark of laughter. "I'm sorry, Anna, but it's not the way it works."

"What? Why? Please? I want my dog back! Aren't you my fairy? Shouldn't you listen to me?"

The fairy snorted, the grin falling from her face. "First you wanted a friend, and now you want a dog. Make up your mind, Anna. I don't have to do what you tell me. Especially when your decision isn't informed."

"Informed?"

The fairy nodded. "Haven't you ever heard of 'be careful what you wish for?"

"But I didn't w-"

"Ah! No interruptions. Now, I'll tell you what. I will consider your request to turn Elsa back. While I do so, you have to get to know her as a person. You spent a week with her as a dog, so you'll spend at least a month with her as a human. I'll come back at some point in the future, whenever I can find the time, and then we'll have this conversation again. And we'll see what happens then. Okay?"

Anna let out a groan. "What do you mean, 'whenever you're free'? You're my fairy, apparently. You said so yourself.

The fairy smiled at that. "What, you think you're the only person I watch over?"

And without another word—with barely a wave—she disappeared, leaving Anna alone with Elsa to mull over her words.

Which naturally just invited Elsa to curl up on Anna's lap and fall asleep. Because human Elsa still had puppy Elsa characteristics and oh hell how was Anna supposed to last a month with a person—essentially a roommate—who could barely feed herself? Who didn't even know how to use pronouns? Pronouns!

And what about school? It wasn't like Elsa could just... tag alone (could she?). She'd need to get Rapunzel's help. Kristoff could maybe babysit when she had work, so that was okay.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Maybe Elsa just had to get used to it. She could totally spend an evening on her own if she had to. Couldn't she?

This situation needed planning. It needed communication. It needed... well, Anna just needed to call her mother, really, because she would know what to do without that awful 'judging' thing that she supposed many of her classmates would do.

And however much Anna desperately wanted to not, you know, worry, she couldn't help it. She had to buy enough food for another mouth. She had to- lord, they had to go shopping, and heaven's knew how painful that was going to be. Anna knew she'd be counting down the days until the holidays because her school semester was going to be so horribly busy.

Who was Elsa going to be to her? A strange friend? Kooky cousin?

Elsa let out a small sigh, and Anna wondered if she remembered what being a dog was like. She'd have to ask her sometime.

Shuffling into a lying position, Anna closed her eyes. There was a huff from Elsa as she regained consciousness just enough to reposition herself, still lying atop Anna.

The red-head was too tired to care. Plus, the blonde made a pretty good blanket.

She fell asleep shortly afterward, the last thought being 'I wonder if she'd sit around and watch daytime TV while I'm at school'.

A/N: not dead! Trying a new writing technique/system thing, so hopefully, updates will come faster. I also suck at ending the chapters, if you didn't realise ^^" (ps. go to my tumblr and add /tagged/pom!elsa. you won't be disappointed). I wanna thank aelifsigrun on tumblr who has done the cover art for this! she's pretty rad, and her art is /awesome. Fun stuff starts next chapter, I just needed to get the plot out of the way. Hopefully, the next chapter will be longer, because I'm just as annoyed as you are about the shortness of them lately :( anyway, enjoy! and thank you!
