The night was enchanting as the stars twinkled brightly over the not so ordinary town of Storybrooke, Maine. For once, the residents of the town endured one whole week of peace. Cora was dead, Greg and Tamara were defeated, Regina was no longer set to kill everyone's happy ending, King George was gone for now and Rumpelstiltskin and Captain Hook were done being at each others throats. With all this new found bliss, Snow White and Prince Charming decided to host the town's first ball. A modernized ball of course. Regina, Archie, Ruby, the Dwarves, Granny, Emma, Belle, Wendy, Peter, Captain Hook and even the Dark One helped prepare for the eventful night. White lights were hung along columns and fences, tables were decorated with freshly cut red roses and blue lit candles. The town hall was ready for the night's celebration.
A deal was made among the townsfolk of Storybrooke, that they would all arrive in festive garments from the Enchanted Forest, something Emma hung her head about. From Mr. Gold's pawn shop, Snow and Charming found some of their clothing; a white long gown for Mary Margaret, and a red prince's uniform for David, along with his trusty sword. Little Red Riding Hood found her old dress and added her favorite red hood to the ensemble to make it pop. The nuns… uh fairies, dressed up in their traditional fairy godmother dresses and the dwarves went even as far as to carry their pick axes along with them.
Emma sat in her room pondering over what she could possibly wear. Everything in Gold's shop either belonged to someone or was utterly repelling, and she doubted her parents would let her leave the house in one of her leather jackets. Just then, the savior heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Emma said. The door clicked open, and in came Snow White holding a garment bag over her shoulder.
"Heard you had nothing to wear, so I begged Blue to make you a little something." The woman grinned. She unzipped the garment bag, revealing a long gold dress. It wasn't too old fashioned. There wasn't a large skirt or an overly tight corset. It was more of a modern day evening gown with only a hint of Enchanted Forest Princess décor. It had a sweetheart neckline, and was smooth and elegant with a small slit at the right leg. The gold was dark and shimmery, with hints of black in it. A matching black corset with gold laces, sat at the top, along with a black belt with a sword attached to it. "We knew you were a little attached." Snow smiled.
"Wow," Emma said, gazing upon the dress. "It's beautiful. But I can't wear this. It's too much."
"Oh please, Mother Superior turned Pinocchio back into a boy, this dress is by far the easiest thing, she has done in a long time." Her mother scoffs. "Now stop sulking and get dressed. We don't want to be late for our own party."
Red, Wendy, Belle, Hook, Peter and Whale were already at the town hall getting everything ready.
"Seriously?" Red scolded. "You two couldn't even bother wearing something… more elegant?" She motioned to Wendy and Hook, who were in slightly fancier versions of their pirate attire. Wendy had on her favorite blue blouse under a brown leather corset, matching boots and black leather pants. And of course she was heavily armed with her sword and daggers. Hook was wearing his everyday black coat over his everyday black blouse… he basically was wearing what he would on a normal day, except this time he had on a gold vest rather than his usual black one. Both of them had probably the same amount of eyeliner, but of course Wendy added her signature shocking blue eye shadow.
"Pirates." Hook answered with a cheeky grin, causing both Red and Belle to roll their eyes.
Belle started pouring herself a drink, when the Mad Hatter and the Evil Queen came in hand in hand. He, wearing his precious hat and crazed outfit, and she, dressed in her exquisite regal black dress encrusted with diamonds, strode proudly to the middle of the hall.
"I'm never getting used to that." Whale said, noting how together those two were.
"I think they look good together." Peter says. "He really brings out the craziness in her eyes."
Grace and Henry followed the couple, in their own cute Enchanted Forest ensemble.
"Belle, would you be a dear and pour me one?" Wendy says handing her a cup. "Something tells me I'll need the whole bar to get through tonight." She chugs the entire cup of beer down in a matter of seconds.
"You should probably slow down." Belle warned with a giggle. "You definitely don't want to be drunk when the Sheriff comes in."
At the mention of Emma, Hook's eyes lighten up. It's been a while since they'd seen each other. The last time they were around each other, he had to dodge a vase aimed straight for his head.
More people started pouring in the hall, and soon Peter and Wendy retired to the stage to ready the music. The older crowd, especially the royal hosts, wanted to flood the ball room with classic music from their homeland, but the two teenagers were intent on crashing that with a mix of modern dub step and some classic rock and roll. Red, and Hook supported this idea because, well Red was a party animal and Hook just liked breaking the rules even though he had no idea what rock and dub step were. So for now, the teenage misfits complied with the rules and put on the boring classical music.
Red, Whale and Granny took turns manning the bar, while Hook simply sat at the bar and kept the drinks coming. His sister was right about one thing, alcohol was the only way to survive this party.
The hall doors opened once more, and this time, the royal couple entered, smiling, holding hands, while Emma awkwardly followed suit. She was wearing the dress. A diamond necklace hung from her throat, while her golden curls flowed along her shoulders. Her not-so-Enchanted-Forest- black-pumps clicked against the marble flooring as she awkwardly made her way to the bar, sitting onto a stool. Killian was a few meters away, unable to take his eyes off her. It was only when she turned to look at him, that he shifted his gaze back to his glass of rum. Red made her way to Wendy and Peter, along with Henry. All four of them had evil little grins plastered across their faces.
"I can't believe she's wearing the dress." Red said.
"I can't believe we actually tricked Snow into giving her the dress." Wendy smiles. "And now they match!"
"Did you see the way he looked at her?" Peter asked.
"Just like she looked at him."
"Operation Beanstalk is in motion." Henry smiled.
"Yes kid," Ruby ruffles his hair. "We're geniuses."
"I can't believe the Codfish is actually head over heels in love." Peter sneers.
"Hey!" Wendy smacks his arm playfully, Peter grins in response. "Behave, that's my big brother over there."
Rumpelstiltskin came through the doors, in his Dark One attire, and lead Belle to the dance floor, her yellowy gold dress swept the floor as he twirled her around. Next to them Snow White and Prince Charming were intimately dancing, and across from them Regina and Jefferson stole the show.
Half an hour into the party and Peter walked up to Red at the bar, grinning wickedly. "It's ready."
"Ruby?" Wendy raised an eyebrow at her friend.
"What happens when Rumplestiltskin, Captain Hook, Prince Charming, The Mad Hatter, Peter Pan and Dr. Frankenstein go up on stage?" The wolf grinned mischievously.
"What did you do?"
"You'll see soon enough."
Hook, Rumpel, Jefferson, Charming, Whale and Peter followed Red backstage, leaving some of the women confused. Emma watched as Killian disappeared through the curtains, curious as to what they were up to.
Suddenly, the classical music comes to a halt. The lights dim and are flashing different colors, as the curtains are drawn. The male fairy tale characters are each at an instrument. Hook at a guitar, though Wendy wonders how he'll play it one handed; Peter was at the drums, Whale at the bass, Rumpel at the mike and Charming at the lead guitar, and Jefferson at the other mike.
Snow's mouth made a perfect 'O', Regina sat by a table, her face in complete amusement, Emma blinked a few times, Wendy filled her cup to the rim with rum, Belle muffled a giggle and Red sat on a barstool trying to ignore her Granny's unimpressed gaze.
The men started to play, surprisingly pretty well, as Jefferson's voice echoed through the room.
"You ready Whale?"
"Uh huh"
"Charming?"
"Yeah"
"Hook?"
"Okay."
"Alright Fellas, let's go!"
"It's been getting so hard." They all sang. "Living with the things you do to me." As they chanted, Hook stared at Emma, Charming at Snow, Whale at Ruby, Jefferson at the Queen, Rumpel at Belle and Peter at Wendy. The crowd broke down and started dancing. The younger townsfolk laughing while the older ones shaking their heads, disapprovingly. Suddenly, Hook grabbed the mike: "Oh I see a man in the back- as a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun."
"And the girl in the corner let no one ignore her, she thinks that she's the passionate one." Charming sang.
"RUBY WHY?" Wendy whined, blushing. "WHY?"
"Yeah, what gives?" Emma joined in, hiding from Killian's blue stare.
"Because you two are the only ones who feel awkward around the guys." Red smiled.
"Yeah it's time for you two to face your men." Belle winked.
"Granny, put an extra shot in my Daiquiri." Emma moaned.
Gold grabbed the mike and in his crazed Dark One voice sang: "And the man in the back said 'Everyone attack' and it turned into a ballroom blitz."
"Red, next time please warn everyone that Rumplestiltskin will be singing." Snow chimed in. "Though I have to ask… How'd you get them to do it."
"Well, I made a deal with Rumpel." Belle said innocently.
"Peter and Charming had no problem with it." Ruby smirked.
"I used my magic on Jefferson." Regina laughed. "Literally and Figuratively."
"Did not need to know that." Emma coughed up her Daiquiri. "How'd you get Whale and Hook to agree?"
"Whale didn't need much convincing, he owes me." Red said, sipping a Margarita. "And I threatened to go all wolf on Hook's ass next full moon if he didn't do it."
"Also didn't need to know that." Wendy added, pouring herself another shot of rum. The song finished, and the men retreated back to their stations. Wendy got up and joined Peter at the mixer. Emma cautiously approached Hook.
"Seriously… I mean Ballroom Blitz?" Emma said as he downed another shot of rum.
"Well, the wolf girl didn't really give me a choice, now did she?" She could sense the iciness in his voice, as he refused to look at her. They ended their relationship rocky; she told him she had no feelings for him, that he was just a distraction. He ended up blowing up steam with some barmaid at the Rabbit Hole, and she came after him with the fury of the Dark One. Because the truth was, she had feelings for him, and so did he have for her. They were too scared to reveal this to each other, so now their walls were as high as the clouds and as thick as the mountains.
The two of them turned away from each other, each tending to their own drinks. From afar, Wendy, Peter, Red and Henry were watching. Since the beginning, they made it their goal to get the two love birds back together, no matter what.
"Okay, so how do we start this thing." Peter asked.
"Henry, go down there and ask your mom to dance." Red said. "I'll go push the Captain into the crowd, and Wendy, Peter, you two go fix the music up. When the song comes up, come down to the floor and dance together, and when I give you guys the cue, make the move."
"Why do we have to dance together?" Wendy groaned.
"I don't mind it." Peter grinned. He got another smack in his arm by Wendy.
"Okay, get to your places people." Red orders.
Midway through a remix of 'Lonely Boy' by the Black Keys, everyone, but Peter and Wendy are dancing their hearts away. Peter nods to Wendy, who switched to 'Daylight' by Maroon 5, as Whale took over dancing with Red. Charming and Snow danced closer together, and Henry retreated to dance with Grace. Here I am waiting I'll have to leave soon, why am I holding on?
Hook and Emma awkwardly, stood in the middle of the dance floor, as the couples joined together. And when the daylight comes I'll have to go but tonight I'm gonna hold you so close.
Peter made his way to the left of the room, 'accidentally' bumping into Emma, while Wendy, 'accidentally' pushes her brother. But tonight I need to hold you so close. Killian and Emma end up smashing into each other. The breathing ceases and Emma swallowed hard.
"Care to dance Swan?" Hook asked, once he regained his ability to breathe. He holds out his hand to her.
"Why not, Captain." She says, taking his hand and they move to the center of the dance room. Here I am staring at your perfection, in my arms, so beautiful. He grabbed her waist with his hand and hook, and she laid hers on his broad shoulders. One dance couldn't hurt right? They moved swiftly and gracefully, their gaze never breaking from each other.
From across the floor, Snow turned her head and saw her daughter and the pirate.
"Look." She told Charming, as she danced with him. He saw the sight and involuntarily growled. "Easy tiger, they're just dancing."
"It's what follows the dancing that I'm worried about." He eyed Killian, watching his every move. "I don't like how he's looking at her."
"Charming." Snow pulled her husband to face towards her and kissed him. "She's a grown woman, she can handle him. He made her happy before, and she hasn't been the same since they broke up. Maybe this is what she needs."
"Maybe." He held his wife tightly. "But he hurts her again and he loses the other hand." But tonight I need to hold you so close.
As the song came to an end, an idea popped into Wendy's mind. She went up on the stage and started the music. Rihanna's slow song 'Stay' started playing. Then she descended the steps to join Ruby at the bar. Killian and Emma continued dancing. I threw my hands in the air, I said show me something. He said 'If you dare, come a little closer'.
"They look adorable." Ruby said, peering out to them. Emma's arms were wrapped around Killian's neck. Their faces were centimeters apart.
"They're meant to be." Wendy replied.
"Of course you would know that."
"Visions never lie my friend."
"Would the fair maiden like to dance?" Came a deep voice. Whale held out his hand to Ruby, and she took it grinning.
"Monster to monster?"
"But, of course." Not really sure how to feel about it, something in the way you move.
Wendy smiled at her friends. Love was blossoming around her as Belle laid her head on Gold's chest, as Regina and Jefferson stole a few kisses, Snow and Charming laid their foreheads against each other and Killian leads Emma into a passionate dip.
"I never stopped thinking about you." Hook confessed, as he swooped the savior back up. She smiled weakly. She couldn't go down this path again, but she missed him so bad.
"Me neither." She admits. One wall down. And I want you to stay.
"So I guess, it's just you and me." Peter said interrupting Wendy's thoughts.
"I guess so Lost Boy." He smirked. She laughed. "Well, are you going to ask me to dance or what?"
Peter was surprised at Wendy. "Well, I never thought you'd be so forward."
"You think so little of me Pan." She whispered in his ear, dragging him out onto the dance floor. Red shot her a I-told-you-so look, and Wendy shot back a shut-up-let-me-enjoy-this look.
"Swan… Emma." Killian started, his voice turned low and husky. Emma looked up at her with welcoming green eyes. "I'm sorry I hurt you love. I.." Emma stopped him.
"It's my fault." She said. "I lied to you. I pushed you away."
"You lied?"
"I.. I care about you… deeply." She admitted, trying to force back a tear. "I think I love you." He was stunned. Catching his breath, he caressed her cheek with his right hand.
"I love you too Swan. I bloody lov…" She stopped him by closing the distance. Kissing him with raw passion. He returned the kiss, showing her just how much he missed her. How much he loved her. Funny you're the broken one, but I'm the only one who needed saving.
"It's about time." Belle giggled. Rumpelstiltskin tried to ignore the couple. Charming looked at the pirate with anger, his protective mode on, as Snow held him back, smiling. Killian looked around and saw that the whole dance room was staring at them, a boyish grin took over his face.
"We should probably go somewhere private." Emma whispered in his ear. The heat of her breath tingling against his skin, causing the hairs on his neck to stand up.
Wendy smiled overhearing them. She gave a quick peck to Peter and lead him back to the stage.
"You know how to play guitar right?" She winked.
"One of my greatest passions in this world." He smiled.
"Good."
A few minutes passed, and the curtains of the stage drew open once more. Wendy stood at the microphone and Peter sat next to her on a stool, holding an acoustic guitar.
"This is for all you love birds out there." She smirked into the mike. He started playing and she started singing. "Settle down with me. Cover me up. Cuddle me in."
"So, when do you wanna ditch this place." Emma whispered in Hooks ear.
"When your father stops threatening me with his glares." He laughs.
"And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck."
"God, you're beautiful." Killian stares into her eyes.
"I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet."
"You're not so bad either, for a pirate." Emma responds.
"And with a feeling I'll forget. I'm in love now. Kiss me like you wanna be loved. You wanna be loved. You wanna be loved"
Killian cups her face and softly brings his lips to hers. Her hands move from his shoulders to his neck and cheek.
"This feels like falling in love. Falling in love. We're falling in love."
When the song was over. Emma and Hook escaped through the back door, to his ship. For the first time months both of them were able to let go of their pain, their fears, their sorrow, as they lost themselves in their love. An hour later Emma rose from his bed, clutching sheets wrapped around her body, as she went along the ship to retrieve her discarded clothes. As she exited his cabin she dropped the clothing she was carrying as the savior stumbled upon Wendy sitting on a barrel, with her legs wrapped around Peter's torso, making out with him.
"Oh crap." She exclaimed, as the two teenagers broke free. They jumped from each other like to positive charges. No one spoke. No one moved. Darling and Pan simply stared at the saviors messed up hair and the bra and dress at her feet. The silence was disturbed as soon as Hook exited the cabin as well, only in his leather pants.
"What's wrong love? I… oh." He stopped in his tracks. He stared at Wendy then at Peter's half unbuttoned shirt.
"Well this is awkward." Peter managed to say. Wendy and Emma glared daggers at him.
"Really." Hook snaps. "In my ship?" Before the two males can lunge at each other, Wendy intervened.
"Well brother, you told me once that this ship was just as much my home as she is yours. And I don't see how what I am doing is any worse from what you've already done."
Emma Swan was happy. She was finally in love. But as she felt a blush run to her cheeks, there was something she was more sure of then her love for Captain Hook. She hated Storybrooke.
