Mmmm...

[Elsa brings a hand up to cover her mouth, looking away almost shyly because it's just. So Much. And she's honestly just living her best life right now and allowing herself to just. Feel. And those feels are A Lot.]

Yes.

[Her voice from her hand, which she removes and just. Takes in a deep breath.]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just... wow. I'm still getting used to the idea!

[Anna's never seen Elsa like this, not in her whole life. Shy, giggling, not because of some stupid antics Anna's pulled, but because she's in love. It makes Anna wish she was right there with her so she could absolutely destroy her sister with hugs and kisses. She's just so happy to see her like this.]

Oh my gosh, don't be sorry, Elsa! This is...like the best news ever! I knew there was something going on with you two—!

[Honestly, Elsa's never been like this in her whole life. Of course she's been happy, but she's never been so... it's indescribable, honestly. But she could get used to it.]

I- wait, what?

[Anything she could say is pushed away by that last little comment by her sister. She knew? How??]

Were we- I mean.. I didn't even know, how could you possibly-?

[Anna rolls her eyes good-naturedly, shaking her head at her sister.]

Oh, puh-lease. It was so obvious! You guys are always going off on trips together. And after how upset you were about Christmas, I figured it was only a matter of time before you figured it out. And I'm really, really glad you did!

Now hold on, Christmas was-

[Different-?

Even as she tries to argue it, she realizes it's. Not true.]

Oh, you're right, I've been so oblivious. Not that it matters now! The point is, I'm glad too. Anna, I... I didn't think I would ever- I mean... me. I didn't think I was meant to find my true love.

[It's not easy being so open, but. She's trying. And it's Valentine's, so like. When else is she gonna get to be this sappy and it's totally permissible?

Chloe shuffles from foot to foot awkwardly as Anna talks, but in the end she just ends up smiling like a dork when she's kissed on the mouth. Honestly, she feels so much more at ease than she thought possible after that lil feels dump.]

This got hella gay.

[She laughs though, honestly feeling so genuinely happy that she doesn't know what to do with herself-

Until she lets out a huge yawn, realizing it's. Been a while since she's slept.

It's fine.]

Don't say a word, I'm not sleepy. It's just- emotions. They make me yawn. It's totally a thing.

Us? Gay?

[Anna giggles, leans in, her expression faux-sanctimonious.]

It's more likely than you think.

[She will take any opportunity whatsoever to show off her burgeoning meme knowledge. Now is no exception.

Anna looks incredibly dubious, seeing Chloe yawn so widely, and shakes her head.]

Uh huh. Sure you don't want to just...take a nap? I bet Munchies wouldn't mind being a mattress for a little while...

[Anna's just. Waiting. For Elsa to realize it. Thirteen years of listening to whispers behind locked doors and gleaning most of her information from observation means Anna's actually pretty perceptive when it comes to other people; she's glad to have been right in this case.

She shakes her head, smiling.]

I knew you would. Someday. You deserve it.

[She stands up, the Gear coming with her.]

Anyway, I guess I better start putting my team together!

[Okay, that makes her laugh and she just kind of punches Anna on the shoulder affectionately. What a goober. How did she get so lucky? She's not gonna question it right now.]

Dork.

[But uggggh she really doesn't wanna sleep.]

But we've still gotta get food and all that cute couple-y bullshit! [She doesn't wanna let u down just because she's tired.]

Oh, Anna that's swee-

[Wait-]

I beg your pardon? What does your team have to do with-?

Chloe, it's like...nine in the morning. [She shakes her head, already reaching for Munchies' ball in Chloe's bag, holding it up and waggling it.]

Besides, when we wake up, I have the perfect lunch planned! And what could be cuter or coupley-er than taking a nap together?

[She's only half-paying attention, too embroiled in figuring out which Pokémon to take with her, but she looks up, guileless.]

Well, I have to go battle him now. It's my duty as your sister.

Anna! Guess what!

ummm
don't tell me you have ANOTHER boyfriend!!

[Okay. Okay. Be cool, this is fine. Anna deserves to know in a manner not as dramatic or horrible as Elsa. It's not a big deal.]

Hello, Anna, it's Botan.

[...]

I, uh, I just wanted to tell you that I was friends with the previous versions of you that had been here before. I just wanted to hold off on telling you until you settled in, I didn't want you to get overwhelmed or feel bad. ...All that. So, um, I'm very sorry for not saying anything sooner, and of course I'm not expecting to just pick up where we "left off" as if it's the same, 'cause it's not and I wouldn't force that on you!

[Okay Botan, now you're getting nervous enough to babble.]

That's all I wanted to say, have a good day dear.

[Oh, geez. Of all the messages Anna was expecting to receive today, this isn't one of them. It takes her a little while to reply, mostly because this isn't something she's ever been taught the right etiquette for. Plus, you know. She's bad at etiquette in general.

But eventually, she does reply, and she sounds...nervous? Definitely a little awkward.]

Hey, um, hey, Botan! Sorry I missed your call, um. It's totally okay, I get why you didn't say anything before, 'cause, geez, awkward! But if we were friends before, then definitely we should be friends again! I think I trust my own taste after all, haha!

...Wait, did you happen to send anonymous presents to Elsa and I? If not, ignore me, but we've been trying to figure out who those came from for months...

Anyway! Talk to you soon!

[Oh, thank goodness, she's not mad.

Then again, it's not...that big of a deal? She guesses? Botan did have a perfectly good reason to not say anything, so stop being so hard on yourself about it girl.]

Definitely awkward, it was way awkward when I told Elsa--and I didn't even tell her that I used to have a crush on her as well? Like golly, good thing I didn't blow it that much. We did get to hang out before I left for the islands, so that was fun. We should definitely make plans to all hang out in the future.

[E...etiquette? That's real funny, there's too many emotions she's holding to care about good manners and such.]

I did, that was me. They were presents I had given to the you before, buuuut then I remembered I hadn't told you yet so--oops, there's my brilliant solution. I hope you liked them anyway? They totally made me think of you two when I first got them. --Sorry, I start babbling when I get nervous. [Or excited, or when she's keeping secrets. ...Or really when she's just existing, because in general Botan is a babbler.] And I'm not that graceful with...a lot of things. Social stuff is hard sometimes, you know?

Oh—oh geez, yeah, that could've been....so, so awkward, wow. But I think that sounds great! Ooh, maybe we could make a big dinner all together...

[It's sort of a relief, to say the least, to have solved the mystery, but Anna's giggling, and even though Botan can't see it, shaking her head.]

Don't be sorry! I totally get it, I mean, I didn't...talk to anyone outside my family for like thirteen years, so. But anyway, in that case, I should thank you for the gifts! They definitely helped us feel less homesick.

That would be nice! We can have a little party and make or bring favorite stuff we like to eat to share. I've gotten better with cooking myself, but I'm still best at making desserts so I'd be providing the chocolate naturally.

[Every party needs chocolate after all.]

Oh...I know. [And she kind of hates the sisters' parents for that. But keep it light, Botan.] I hope you feel less homesick here now, anyway! I know it's far from being Arendelle, but it can be homey in its own way.

Oh, gosh, that would be perfect! [Her mind is already racing, and naturally, she's mostly thinking about dessert.] Fine by me! I love chocolate, and so does Elsa!

...Which...you probably already kne!

[A soft laugh.] Much less homesick. I've met some really great people, and I'm...really happy, actually.

No, no, of course not! It was hard enough getting the one.

Come outside, it's better you see in person!

Haha, okay, phew!!
i'll be right down! i just need to get Gumball back in her ball really quick!

Ok! We'll be waiting!

[Who's 'we'?

Anna will find out as soon as she steps outside. Elsa is sitting atop her newly evolved Rapidash, his gray flames blowing gently in the wind. When he sees Anna, he'll snort excitedly and trot up to her, leaning down for pets.]

we???

[She doesn't wait for an answer, but sprints outside as soon as she wrangles her Cleffa back into its ball. When she gets outside and sees Elsa sitting atop her Rapidash, Anna's eyes get very big, and she gasps into her hands.]

Woah! When did that happen???

It just happened today!

[Elsa sounds so excited, like she could pull an Anna and start vibrating into outer space at any moment.]

I'm so happy! I mean- I could ride him before, just not very long.. but now I have my own horse! [SHE'S SO HAPPY] Like you and our parents. There really wasn't a point in me having one, I guess.

[Vague shrugging, like. It's fine.] Isn't he beautiful?
