So, I finally decided to make a story of just one-shots (took me writing 16 one shots to finally do it). If you have a request for a one shot, leave it in the comments.

This one shot was inspired by the script tease for 5x05 where they talk about the dreamcatcher. This takes place during the six weeks of peace during season 4.

Hope you enjoy it. Follow this story for new one shots and do not forget to review or leave a request!

Tallahassee

Peace. Three weeks of absolutely nothing. Nothing was a relative word in Storybrooke, but no villains around meant no complaining. Sure, they were still trying to find a way to get the fairies out of that hat, but things were relaxing. Everyone was able to breathe for a moment and actually live their lives.

Killian and Emma had taken the past three weeks of peace in stride. They did normal couple things like go to the movies or dinner, have a picnic or go sailing with Henry. They had family dinners with her parents, her son and her brother and sometimes even Regina when she was feeling up to it. Henry spent a lot of his time with Regina now, who was still having a rough time after Robin Hood and Roland left. She was improving though, a fact that relieved everyone.

Today Emma did not find herself behind the desk of the sheriff station, but at Mr. Gold's shop. Belle had been busy trying to find a way to free the fairies from the hat, so Emma and Killian offered to go into the shop for a day and clean it up for her. She had been more that receptive. Belle had also been struggling after making Gold cross the town line, but she knew it was for the best. She was slowly, but surely, getting over him.

Killian had suggested that Emma take the front and he take the back, but Emma decided against it. Gold possessed a lot of magic in his shop and she did not want Killian accidently opening it without knowing what it was. She also wanted to spend as much time with him as she could before another threat made their quiet moments a rarity. Her pirate had no arguments for spending time with her.

"Swan, look at this." Killian said, bring a long thin box over to her. She opened it and smiled. Inside of it as her father's sword, the one she had used to slay the dragon.

"It belonged to a royal. You can tell by the designs." Killian explained to her.

"I know." She nodded. "It was my father's. Gold had me use it when I fought Maleficent."

"Aye, Swan, quite the sword fighter you are." He teased.

"Hey, I beat you, pirate."

"You did not beat me if the game was rigged."

"What are you saying?" Emma scoffed. "You let me win?"

"I might have been a villain, love, but keeping you from your son would have been cruel." He told her.

"I think you liked me." Emma smirked.

"What can I say, love. You captured my heart from the first moment we met." He confessed. Emma blushed, not knowing what to say. They had not had many serious conversations about their feelings yet. They were taking this slow, doing this right. They had both been hurt in the past and did not want to lose what they had.

Instead of responding, Emma just turned around and continued sorting objects. Killian soon did the same and they returned to their casual banter, filled with a few moments of silence. Emma was organizing what she hoped was just a few simple potions when something caught her eye.

"No way." She said, going to pick up the object. She must have caught Killian's attention, because he came up behind her, curious as to what she was holding.

"You alright, love?" He questioned her.

"I didn't think he still had this." Emma whispered.

"What is that, love?"

Emma held up the object to get a better view. "It is a dreamcatcher. Gold had me use it a long time ago to see Pongo's thoughts. It was one of the first times I used magic."

"Is it some sort of magical device?" He asked her. Emma laughed, relizing that he must have never seen one before. She was not sure if they were a common item back in the Enchanted Forest.

"No, not really. They are supposed to keep the bad dreams away and only let the good dreams come though. Neal used to call them 'flypaper for nightmares'."

Killian was silent at the mention of Neal. She had never told him before about the significance of dreamcatchers between the two. "What that something special for you both?" He finally asked her.

"Yeah." Emma revealed. "I guess it was. He had one in his apartment. That was how I knew it was his when you told me to go there when you found me in New York.

"He'd be happy for you, Swan." Killian whispered, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I know." She said, leaning back into his embrace. "I still miss him a lot."

"Me too, love. But now we can remember him by being happy. Isn't that what he wanted for you?"

"Yeah. He wanted me to go and find Tallahassee." She said, turning around to face him.

"Talla-" He started to ask, but she cut him off. "I will explain later. But for know, you just need to know that I finally found it, thanks to you."
