Juvie Break

Ellie was ready. She had done a lot of thinking about this last night after texting Dale. After crying her darn eyes out because of what had happened. There had been a lot to think about. This - this was going to not only be putting the spotlight on the Beagles but on her as well. Because she was going to be walking right in there with Dale Laveau, making demands, and you know what? She was going to burn the place down to the ground if they didn’t comply. She knew that right off the back. Mazzie and Jax - they had put those images into her head the night of the party of what could happen to Babyface. The island. The donkey. No - no. She simply was not going to let that happen. Those three - those were her weaknesses, but especially the boys because boys just could not be trusted to take care of themselves. Mazzie was a badass. She had power. Babyface could play badass and he could snark off to the judge all that he wanted but he wasn’t going to be able to fight against something like that. So she was going to fight for him.

Waking up early was easy. It was engrained in her. Bakery life and all. Up at four to start the morning breads. In the summer she usually followed along with her parents schedule to help out, to form the loaves and cut the lines in the top before passing them onto her father who would put them into the oven after a quality check. And so she sat in the kitchen of the bakery, apron on, helping with the loaves, and opening up to her parents about what was going to happen today. She had to tell them. It wasn’t something that she could keep. Not the island thing but - but breaking Babyface out at any cost.

Obviously the parents were not happy about this and tried to dissuade her. Assuming a false identity was one thing. She could get in serious trouble for that. But breaking someone out of juvie? And potentially causing damage? They tried to talk her out of it but Ellie was headstrong.

“You’d do the same if it was mom,” Ellie would argue against her father.

“Well that’s because I love your mother. She’s my wife.”

“Even before she was your wife, obviously,” Ellie rolled her eyes. “And you - you would do the same for dad OR for Elsa. You can’t say that you wouldn’t, mum.”

And they couldn’t. They couldn’t say that they wouldn’t. But they still tried their darnest.

“He’s just a boy, Eleanor-”

“It’s BABYFACE, dad. He’s not just some boy-”

“You could get hurt-”

“I’ll be with Dale. He’s not going to let that happen.”

“But-”

“I’m doing it with or without your permission, but I’d really, really, REALLY appreciate it if you didn’t hate me for this,” Ellie breathed out. “I can’t tell you why but - I can’t let him stay there. But it’s really serious. You know that things here aren’t what they seem. What could happen to him is worse than what you can imagine. I promise that. And I promise that I’ll be careful and I won’t get hurt and I’ll do whatever Dale says and I’LL try to do this with as little problems as possible.”

She thought she was being sneaky. Putting emphasis on I’ll. There was no way she was gonna put that on Dale. Not with the way that she knew him.

“She really is going to go whether we like it or not,” Anna said, kneading elbow-deep into some dough.

“She’s got to much of you and your sister in her, I told you that,” Kristoff retorted.

“Tell Babyface that he can come and sleep on our couch if there’s any problems,” Anna finally conceded. That brought out a smile of relief on Ellie’s face. She kissed them both on the cheek and then went to get ready by morning’s light, dressing in black to feel more - prowly like? Added a purple belt to try to bring some of that badass Piper energy that she wanted to emulate so badly and then waited for Dale, a box of goodies for him and a tin of Meltdowns for Babyface when he came out. He was probably missing those.
