People jumped out of the way. She was going wayyyy over the speed limit in that parking lot. She squealed her tires and revved her engine. She slammed to a stop. Rapunzel was almost used to it by now. "So the honeymoon is where, exactly?" She asked, getting out of the now parked car.
"Well, it depends. If San Antonio sweeps Sacramento, we could start there or Phoenix, or depending on the Indiana-Cleveland game-" Elsa began explaining as she tossed her keys to someone so they could park her car for her. She walked around the front so she could walk beside Rapunzel.
"Garden spots, all. A swing of maybe 40 degrees Fahrenheit represents a packing challenge, but there's fine food and cocktails at a choice of Embassy Suites." Rapunzel interrupted, cutting Elsa off as they walked towards the elevator.
"It's his career. I'm supportive. Look, I've been everywhere. I wanna be with the man I love. That's what makes it a honeymoon." Elsa softly chuckled. She didn't care what type of job Jackson had as long as they were together. She loved him.
"I'm just saying he's lucky," Rapunzel smiled as the elevator dinged. "Takes one woman in a billion to put up with his array of shit." She added as they entered the elevator. Rapunzel was going to scare Elsa. Rapunzel was going to get her man one way or another.
"The guy's a one-man festival of idiosyncratic... Well, you've been introduced to the symphonic range-" Rapunzel smiled, hoping her plan would work. She didn't want to have to fight dirty, but she was willing too.
"Of his snoring? Yeah. He says it's worse than ever," Elsa finished, understanding what Rapunzel was saying. Jackson was a snorer. He could keep anybody awake all night. "You know that snarfle one?" She asked, pointing to her throat.
"Oh, yeah." Rapunzel nodded. She began to imitate him, snorting like a pig. Elsa laughed, thinking about how funny Jackson's snores were.
"Yeah. Now it's kind of got like this phlegm-rattling thing happening behind it." She explained, talking with her hands. She took a deep inhale, then let it out in a guttural snort.
The door opened and others joined them in the elevator, but Elsa didn't care. She continued to make the noise as she moved closer to Rapunzel. "Guess what? Ear plugs work." Elsa softly chuckled. Damn it.
"Oh, what about-"
"His cigars in bed? I broke him of that habit. But the bathroom's a swamp. H-he wears Reeboks to dinner. He likes action movies. He reads over my shoulder. He loves karaoke bars, for God's sake, and I can't carry a tune." Elsa ranted to Rapunzel. Rapunzel nodded her head. This was all useful information. Can't carry a tune, huh?
"Really?" Rapunzel replied. Elsa nodded.
"He sucks soup through his front teeth." Elsa added, pointing at her perfectly straight, white teeth.
"That's a trademark move. Don't touch that one." Rapunzel smiled. Elsa softly giggled.
"But he sure can kiss." She stated. The elevator bell rang and the doors opened. Everyone began to exit, getting out on their floor.
"You know, it's been a while. I'm just gonna take your word on that." Rapunzel softly chuckled. It had been a long time since she had kissed Jackson. But from what she could remember, he was a fabulous kisser.
Everyone had left besides Rapunzel and Elsa. They stood in silence as the doors shut, leaving the two alone together. "After two weeks of cataloging all of his faults, I made a command decision that changed my life." Elsa stated as she walked towards the floor buttons. She pushed the red button, stopping the elevator from moving.
Rapunzel's eyes went wide as she stared at Elsa. What was that woman doing? "I threw the sheet away. He's not a balance sheet. He's Jackson, and loving him means loving all of him."
"You get nervous in small confined spaces?" Rapunzel stuttered. Claustrophobia. Of course Jackson just had to mention that little detail to Elsa. Just great. Thank you for nothing Jackson!
"So it's sweet of you to want to be protective, but nothing ever could, ever did give me one moment's pause about this marriage." Elsa continued, ignoring Rapunzel's question. She knew that she was claustrophobic and Elsa wanted to intimidate her. What's a better way than locking someone in an elevator?
"Do you become hysterical in small confined-" Rapunzel questioned again, beginning to walk towards the red button. She was going to get this thing moving again.
"Except one," Elsa added, stepping in front of the button. She wasn't going to let Rapunzel go that easily. They locked eyes, knowing that this wasn't going to go down well. "You."
"You'll always be there in his mind, this perfect creature that he loved for all those years." Elsa explained. She was going to explain herself to Rapunzel right now. She didn't care how long it would take.
"Well, perfection can get wearing after a while." Rapunzel replied as she moved to a new corner. Was it getting hot in here? She felt like she was going to throw up. She needed air, fresh air.
"I'm not kidding. I had to face up to all of my competitive drives. And believe me, I've got them." Elsa continued, following Rapunzel towards the corner. Rapunzel pinched the bridge of her nose. She just wanted out.
"No!" Rapunzel panted as she moved to the other side. Was the room getting smaller or was that just her imagination? Pretty sure it's getting smaller. Didn't help that Elsa was hogging all of the fresh air left in the damn elevator with all of her talking.
"After all, what am I going to be? Jealous of you for the rest of my life? Our paths will keep on crossing." Elsa rambled as she followed Rapunzel around the elevator. There was no exit. She had to get out. Elsa wasn't helping with all of her stalking.
"Space. Of course." Rapunzel mumbled as she paced back and forth. She ran her hand through her blonde her, hoping to distract herself. She needed air. She needed space.
"He'll always talk about you."
"It's only natural." Rapunzel fired back as the she was met with another wall, then another wall. How small was this thing again? It didn't seem so small ten seconds ago? Was the room spinning now?
"And the answer was so simple." Elsa persisted, not caring if Rapunzel was going to have a panic attack. This was more important than that. She had to make her point. She had to let Rapunzel know.
"I was gonna predict that." Rapunzel nervously chuckled. She shut her eyes, hoping to make the place seem bigger as she walked from one side to the other. She placed her forehead against the wall. Please, let me out!
"You win." Elsa stated.
Rapunzel turned to her right, facing Elsa. Did she hear her correctly? Did she really just say that? "I've missed a step." She panted.
"He's got you on a pedestal and me in his arms." Elsa explained. Now was her chance. Rapunzel raced across the elevator and pulled the red button. She wanted to get out now. This woman was crazy.
As soon as the doors opened, Rapunzel rushed out. It was her first instinct. She smashed into a tray of food, sending it flying into the air. She fell onto her back, letting out a groan. Ouch. That hurt. "My God, it's the bride and the woman she'll never live up to." A blonde in a blue dress spoke, standing above Rapunzel.
Twins. Of course. They were Elsa's other bridesmaids. "Are you okay, honey?" The other asked, trying to help Rapunzel off the floor. Elsa beat her to it, grabbing Rapunzel's arm.
"I'm so sorry." She apologized as she helped Rapunzel stand on her two feet. Elsa was sorry for locking Rapunzel in there for so long and having her embarrass herself, but she was mostly sorry that she had to meet the twins.
"That would be us." The woman in a blue dress added.
"Did she say the wrong thing again? That is so in character." The second stated in her southern accent as she ran to Rapunzel's side, getting close to Elsa. Elsa plastered on a fake smile. She hated Cindy and Aurora.
"I'm Rapunzel Corona." Rapunzel greeted as she shook hands with the first one she saw. It just happened to be the blonde. She was wearing a blue dress that was far too low cut for Rapunzel's taste.
"We'd be the vengeful sluts." Cindy smiled, shaking her hand.
"But you can just call us eager." The one wearing a pink dress butted in, getting close to Rapunzel. Rapunzel was beginning to feel crowded and she wanted air.
"Hey, have you sized up the groomsmen, Raps?" Cindy questioned, wrapping her arm through Rapunzel's. She pulled her away from Elsa, leading her who knows where! Aurora tagged along, jumping to the other side of Rapunzel. "As M of H, you get first pick."
"Don't pick the short, hairy, fat one. He's mine." Aurora giggled. Cindy quickly grabbed onto Rapunzel's arm, making her look at her.
"Elsa's a virgin!" Cindy exclaimed.
"Is this Jackson's Rapunzel?" A voice questioned, walking towards Rapunzel. Oh god, not another relative. Rapunzel actually wanted to be back at the dress store. That was a sentence she never thought she'd say.
"Yes." Rapunzel called, her eyes wide. She was sooo overwhelmed. She wanted to get away. She wanted Cindy and Aurora off of her!
"Oh, I'm Isabelle Delle, and my handsome new son scarcely did you justice, girl." She greeted, grabbing Rapunzel's hands. Elsa's mother had scared the twins off of Rapunzel, giving her some space. This was nice.
"Now, my husband says we should scoot you over to the ballpark so you can hang with Jackson," Isabelle explained as she dragged Rapunzel away from the twins. Wow, Rapunzel was actually feeling calm again. Rapunzel laughed and nodded her head. She wanted to talk with Jackson. "But first you have to meet a lot of really old women."
Isabelle glanced back at Cindy and Aurora. She leaned in close to Rapunzel. "That is if, you've absorbed enough profanity." She added, pulling Rapunzel away. The twins gasped, hearing the comment. That was rude. It maybe be true, but she didn't have to point it out.
