I don't own Frozen. Stolen Ice is Aesla's creation, as are the characters within it.

"That one is Cygnus, the Flying Eagle." Jane said, pointing towards it while lowering her binoculars. "See how those stars make two connecting lines?"

"You mean a cross?" A lightly teased. She had her arms behind her head, attentively listening to Jane, though her expression was more relaxed than enthusiastic.

"Sure. The stars around it are its wings. That star is alpha Cygni, also known as Deneb, Arab for tail. It's one of the three points of the summer triangle. The other two are Altair of Aquila, and Vega of Lyra." Jane gestured, then gave A her binoculars. "Go ahead, take a look."

"O-kay, but you're going to have to guide me again." A said, placing the binoculars above her eyes and squinting in the direction Jane pointed.

"It's the brightest star in the Northern Cross." Jane said. "See it?"

"Mm-hm. Hey, there's a double star in the constellation. One's... yellow, the other's blue."

"That's beta Cygni, or Albireo."

"Al-bir-eo." A repeated. "I like it. One's sapphire, one's gold."

Like us.

Jane paused at the thought and lowered her hands onto her belly, allowing her head, which was protected by a beanie, to rest against the rooftop edges.

"I think it's my favorite so far." A said, aware of Jane's pause and its potential.

"There's a lot more-"

"No, no, that's okay. I now know the summer, winter, and autumn constellations." A waved the binoculars for dramatic effect. "Let's leave the rest of the sky for another time." She looked over to Jane and grinned.

"You're implying there will be other times."

A nodded to herself, as if saying, 'no, duh'. "That was the implication... yeah. Where'd you pick all this up?"

"I assume you mean my interest and not how I obtained the information."

"You have interests!" A teased. "I guess there's a person wrapped up in there after all, huh?"

"I- what?"

"You're not just, you know, a yoga master terminator clad in a Jane.. skin. Though that would be kind of cool, I won't lie."

Jane's expression revealed her confusion.

"Oh, man, okay, the next time we get a break, you and I are marathoning the Terminator series. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the T-800, and I bet his character would give you someone to relate to."

"You're suggesting I could relate to a machine."

"Are you saying you don't already? I've seen you with that tablet.." A pretended to wave a tablet around, imitating Jane's voice. "No, no, no, it's okay, it's just a virus, I'll get rid of it quick, hold still, there we go, you're okay.."

Jane blushed and A started giggling. Jane found herself joining in, and the two found themselves sharing what Jane knew was "a moment". Jane gazed at A, and A gazed at Jane. A smiled, and so did Jane.

"This was a great idea." A said. "I, uh, I have something I wanna try out with you, if you're willing, I mean, not try out like that, just something we can do together, not that we're not already doing something together, I mean it's just something I thought of and-"

"Breath, A. I get it. What's your idea?"

A pulled an iPod out of her pocket, and dug through her pockets, pulling out her earbuds. Jane's expression fell. Was A going to just put on music and suggest they not talk for the rest of the night? Had she bored A?

Her fears were unfounded. A placed the iPod between them, and gestured for Jane to scoot closer. She did so until they were close enough for each of them to put one of the earbuds in an ear.

"Now we can listen to music together." A said. "You know, quietly... We can still talk over it. I thought it would fit the mood better this way."

Jane said nothing, but watched A slowly cycle through a few songs. She could see from the iPod screen that A had stopped on "Moon River- Andy Williams." The soft music drifted into her ear, flavoring the soft night.

"So.. I meant to ask you this before we got sidetracked.." A said. "What got you into stargazing? Did you just hop onto a roof and decide to stare at stars one night?"

The heavy silence that followed suggested that Jane's answer was not going to be a complete one.

"...I used to watch the stars from the top of Arabian roofs, back when..." Jane's voice trailed away. "Someone.. got me into it. There were a lot of nights where I'd watch them after sunset, before it got too cold. The night sky was so clear.."

Jane fell silent. A quietly fingered the iPod, rotating to the next song.

"My life is brilliant..."

Jane turned her head to look at A, who was singing softly along with the song.

"My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure."

A smiled weakly at Jane. Jane smiled back. A slid her finger as she turned up volume, and the two returned to gazing at the stars as James Blunt sang.

"You're beautiful!" A sang out loud. "You're beautiful, it's true."

Jane listened, and although A's voice lacked the perfunctory perfection of the recording, it had a quality of its own. It was sweet. Even though she sang high, her voice was melodically candor. Pure and honest emotion..

"There must be an angel with a smile on her face,

when she thought up that I should be with you."

But A did not sing the next lines, her voice faltering. The only voice singing was James Blunt's, coming from the earbuds, as the two girls looked at each other.

"But it's time to face the truth,

I will never be with you."

Jane's eyes flicked away from A to the stars, her face stoney. A looked down and away as well, an awkward, unpleasant silence stretching out between them.

It was Jane who spoke first.

"I didn't like that song."

"Me neither." A said, her face a mask.

"It's getting late. I need to be rested to fly tomorrow." Jane said, getting up. "I'll see you in the morning, A?"

"Yeah. Yeah, you will."

Jane slid down the roof and dissapeared. A waited for the sound of the balcony door opening and closing.

A tugged the earbud from her ear and grabbed the iPod, throwing it as hard as she could away from the house.
