Prompt #7- Wrong order: It's not the first time this has happened. When she was little a few times when her parents ordered out the order was mixen up somehow, and as an adult she herself has dealt with people who mix up orders whether it be in a restaurant or ordering food from somewhere.

AN: Hello lovey readers, this is technically the first AU as the others were in depths into scenes or within the same universe as the movies. This one is a modern AU specifically, there will be a fair amount of modern AU's most of which will be unconnect but some may be, we will see. This is one where Gerda and Rollan meet for the first time and in this one it is as adults, I know in the future I will have one in which it is modern and they are little kids. This one also has hints of Kai and Alfida in it, my second favorite couple from the franchise. Something I am not sure many now is that in the original book Snow queen and other versions, Gerda and Kai are not related. In most other versions they are actually love interest, I personally prefer what wizart did in making them brother and sister so that way they have a closer relationship, could do more with the story, and give them each their own love interest. In the case of Gerda getting hers in the third movie where they were the main plot and make him betray her then give him redemption in the fourth and possibly continue their story if they do a fifth which I extremely hope they do. And with Kai gave him the subtle love interest of Alfida which is nicely placed within the movies and Alfida was actually in the original story as well I believe, her being the robber girl. Without further ado, on with the show.
__________________________
Gerda is very tired and hungry. She had a long and tiring day at her job at her family's job and it being a Friday she wanted to just relax, have a night in with a good pizza and forget all her troubles. She lives in a nice apartment complex with her longtime friend Alfida who is also dating her brother, Kai. Gerda and Alfida became friends when they were little girls, Kai and Alfida not being able to stand one another. At the age of teens the two liked each other romantically, something everyone could tell. Now as adults and in their college years, the two officially together and tonight are on their one year anniversary date. Gerda was truly happy for them, she even helped get them together finally and she had been pretty proud of herself.
But there were times she got jealous of them, in the respect that she wished she had someone she could be with. Someone who she could go on dates with, text to at odd hours when one texts the other, where just seeing them can make her smile and cheer her up on a bad day. In all honesty Gerda has never been in a real relationship, she went on a few dates in high school and some in college but none ever actually got to relationship status. The only relationships she has seen in her life are her parents who are extremely loving and supportive of one another, and her brother with Alfida and they dodge their feelings for years until realizing-with help from the blonde herself-that they should be together.
At the moment she is just lounging in her apartment changed out of her clothes and into a pale blue baseball style top with white fuzzy pj pants that had small blue snowflakes all over them. Her hair in her typical braids with her beaded headband but she redid her braids earlier as they started to become loose. She is watching a myths and legends marathon on tv waiting for her pepperoni pizza to arrive which should be soon as she ordered it a while ago. The wait over when the intercom buzzed by her door, she got up to answer it.
"Yes Orm?" She asked the doorman, knowing already what he was going to say. Orm is the middle aged doorman of the building, there is another one or two but Orm is the one everyone recognizes.
"Your pizza's here. Should I send the guy up or do you wanna come down?" He informed, Gerda contemplating this for a second. She would rather not have to go out in her pajamas even if it was to the lobby, but perhaps she should have thought about that earlier, besides this guy or girl probably had a lot of deliveries to make so might be best to meet him/her downstairs.
"I'll be down in a second." She informed, quickly slipping on a pair of her dark blue slipper boots that had a hard sole so they could be worn outside if need be, pulling out a worn out brown zip up hoodie and grabbed her purse, then made her way down to the lobby. Since she lived on the second floor she decided to take the stairs it would be faster than the elevator.
When Gerda entered the lobby, neither the doorman or pizza man noticed her as they conversed with one another, Orm looking slightly annoyed. Gerda took this moment of invisibility to take in the appearance of the pizza man, and she lost her breath for a second. He is a young man looking to be around her age, perhaps a year or two older, he had short dark hair long at his neck with short bangs, deep brown eyes, and from listening to them he sounded as if he had a spanish accent. He wore the standard uniform of a pizza person, red polo shirt with the logo of the pizza shop over his right bicep, black pants held up with a black belt. What seemed out of place and his own touches to the uniform are red sneakers and a diamond belt buckle that had an R engraved into it.
If Gerda had to describe him in one word, that would be handsome.
"There you are, Gerda." Orm said upon noticing the blonde, the pizza man turning to look at the girl and now she felt self conscious about wearing her pajamas.
"Gerda, nice to meet you." He greeted, looking her over with his eyes making the girl even more self conscious. Though she had to admit hearing her name said in his accent was extremely pleasant.
"Likewise..." She trailed off, not knowing his name.
"Rollan." He filled in, holding out his hand for her to shake, she did after a second of hesitation. They were like that for a moment but seemed much longer to the two young adults, hands interlocked and staring into one another's eyes, both mesmerized in the other's gaze. They possibly would have stayed like that for awhile if it hadn't been for Orm clearing his throat.
"Hate to interrupt, but pretty sure that pizza isn't getting any warmer." The doorman stated, sounding annoyed, but got the desired effect in having the two release hands.
"One sausage and extra cheese pizza, correct?" He asked politely, Gerda shook her head with a small.
"No, a pepperoni pizza." She clarified, the man looking slightly crestfallen he got it wrong.
"Sorry, must have mixed it up with the other pizza I have. I'll go get it." He informed, starting to head towards the doors outside.
"I'll come with, save you from having to come back in." Gerda interjected following Rollan out, he smiling at her as she came up next to him. In all honesty she wanted to spend more time with him before he had to go. They went outside, parked by the curb in front of the building is a motorcycle, with an attachment on the back fastened a back that Gerda has seen pizza people use. She assumed the bike was his as it looked rather nice and had no logo of the pizza place anywhere on it.
"Nice bike." She complimented as Rollan set the pizza on the bike seat in order to open the bag, his back to her.
"Thank you, have you ever ridden one before?" He asked, getting out the correct pizza and started to put the other one away.
"No, always wanted to though." Gerda revealed, Rollan finally turning to face her once again, holding out the pizza for her to take.
"Perhaps sometime, I can take you on mine?" He proposed as Gerda put her hands on the box, brushing hands with the spaniard.
"That would be nice." Gerda stated, Rollan removing his hands from the box. The blonde remembered she needed to pay him, and grabbed the money from her hoodie, and handed it to him.
"Gracias, have a good night." He called after taking the money, putting on his helmet while getting on to his bike, than drove off.
Gerda let out a dreamy sigh, thinking the pizza mix up wasn't that bad of a thing. As she adjusted her hands on the box, she felt something in the hand she didn't use to get the money, and saw it to be a piece of paper.
'Call me. ;) Rollan'
Yup, definitely the best mixed up pizza order she has ever had to deal with.

AN: Sorry this is coming out so late, but I just finished it. I haven't been feeling the best recently and there was a possibility I had a concussion-luckily I don't-and rested most of the day but finally finished. Also something I found out yesterday, the fifth Snow Queen movie is in production!!! It is called Snow Queen: Siren songs, won't lie before I found out I actually was thinking up my own idea for the fifth movie and that involved mermaids, like a half premonition of sorts. For those who don't know a Siren is a sea creature that typically have beautiful voices and use them to make sailors crash their ships. Depending on the adaptation and interpretation of them they are portrayed as mermaids in a way, humans, half bird, but in all versions I have seen sirens are always female. One theory of mine being all men or just Rollan and Kai are enchanted or perhaps for once Gerda is the damsel in distress and the sirens take her to turn her. That would be a cool and new way to go especially since Kai has needed saving the most in the movies and Rollan has gone through so much abuse in just two movies, it's about time the guys are left alone. The next two prompts are already written so there won't be much delay in posting them, though I do have a midterm over the next two days and all next week practically. The next prompt takes from the third movie when we see Rollan before he is introduced to the main cast. Enjoy and have a snowy day, continue reading!!
