History HoYay / ElenaOfAvalor

* When Elena is at risk of drowning after getting knocked out by Shuriki, Mariza rushes to get her wrapped in magical seaweed, like her father did when he first met her mother.

* There was some FoeYay vibes between Esteban and Victor in "King of the Carnival", with Victor almost acting like a psychotic, jilted ex-boyfriend toward Esteban.

* The episode "Royal Rivalry" has quite a bit of it. It involves Elena inviting Princess Valentina from the Kingdom of Parieso to sign a peace treaty between their kingdoms in order to help stop Victor and Carla. The problem lies in how competitive Valentina is in everything. Throughout the episode, she has a lot of touchy feely moments with Elena, whether getting in her face, or bragging about how great the kingdom is. Elena is also the least resistant to her bragging due to being more intent on keeping her happy. Cut to the climax where we see her softer side on a horse ride with her, and then we see her backstory. It turns out that she was acting this way when she finds out how great not only Avalor is, but also Elena, with more emphasis put on impressing specifically her. She also has a slight blush when apologizing, and the two share a nice hug in the end.

* The episode "First Day Of Rule" involves Elena going around the city to see who needs help when she bumps into Naomi and her father. The dialogue the two girls exchange with each other is surprisingly casual, as if they already know each other. Plus, Elena agrees to help Naomi find the missing ships, even before Isabel and Gabe get captured. Naomi shows no hesitation in joining her when they get captured.

** Throughout the episode, when Rita Perez , [[spoiler: who's really Carla in disguise]] , keeps deliberately sabotaging Naomi, she's almost at her wits' end. However, when she sees Elena giving her the "great minds think alike that she also gave to her, that's when she snaps and pulls the "that's our special best friend thing" card. Remember what "best friend" meant in "Party Of A Lifetime"?

** When Naomi goes to her house to cool off, it's revealed that she has a small framed painting of her and Elena with her medallion from "Captain Turner Returns". There's clearly sentimental value there.

** During the song "Home For Good", where Naomi sings about wanting her mother to stay with them, Elena puts a flower in her hair when they pick out a bouquet for her arrival. Then they sing harmoniously and without fail.

*** "My Best Friend's Birthday", the book version of the episode, uses Elena and Naomi's dance scene as the cover of the book, and they look really happy.

** Even the merchandise seems to agree. Two of the Naomi centered episodes that were adapted into books, "Finders Leapers" and "My Fair Naomi" both had the words "best friend" in them and them looking comfortable with each other.

Elena has very strong, bit otherwise platonic relationships with Gabe and Mateo, seeing them as great allies and friends. With Naomi though, there's a bit more to it:

** While no one wants Naomi to leave, Elena is the only one shown to be doing anything with all the planning and coming up with various schemes to keep Naomi in Avalor, indicating something more. When Naomi also expresses her desire to stay with her family, they are both visibly sad, but still supportive of the decision, and Elena is the one to arrange the goodbye ceremony.

* In "Finders Leapers", Naomi thinks she doesn't belong on the counsel, not helped by Esteban's comments and meddling, and Elena immediately goes to her defense. This might not seem like much, but the fact she's dead set on defending Naomi over a family member should mean something.
