First. I do not own any of the characters. They are all from Once Upon a Time and belong to ABC and Disney and maybe someone else. I get no money for this and do not own them.
Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, I thought about the season finale and was sad that they didn't have David and Emma dance though they probably couldn't because of time or other things. Here is just me thinking of a way it could happen. Fair warning characters (especially Emma) maybe OOC.
This is my first OUAT fanfic so any feedback would be great. Constructive feedback would be the best.
The italic wording comes from 3x21/22 episode.
"Hook, why are we moving over here? What was wrong with our original spot on the dance floor?" Emma asked as Killian maneuvered them farther onto the dance floor.
"Trust me love. You'll thank me for this later. Now don't worry and just follow my lead." Killian replied as the music started again and he led her in the next dance.
Prince James/Charming POV
"Would you care to dance?" I asked Princess Abigail more out of it being expected of me than having any interest in dancing.
"If we must," Princess Abigail replied sounding as put off by this as I felt.
With that I led her to the dance floor where a new song was about to started.
Killian's POV
"Alright love, just as a fair warning we are reaching the part of the dance where dance partners are changed," I informed Emma so she would not lose her step when it occurred.
"What? No. I can't dance. We cannot switch at all," Emma responded with a straight face but wide nervous eyes.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. You have climbed beanstalks, fought a giant, survived Neverland, fought Cora, Regina, and Peter Pan just to name a few and lived to tell the tale. You can't tell me your first ball will be your undoing. Just trust me," I told her with a small smirk on my lips. I received a glare for my efforts but she seemed to calm down. Which is good cause she will either thank me or kill me for what is about to happen and the safe money with her is usually on the more painful one. At that moment it was time to switch so I handed her over to her father.
Prince James/Charming POV
When we switched a princess with blonde hair and a red dress became my new partner. If I remember the announcements correctly she was announced as Princess Leia. When she turned and saw me her eyes widened a fraction in surprise and she looked to have a second of hesitancy. I gave her the customary bow and that seemed to bring her out of her surprise and she returned with a curtsy before we came together for the dance.
"Princess Leia correct," I asked her while we dance.
"Yes… your highness," she replied back looking unsure of what she was supposed to do or say.
"You seem nervous Princess Leia. Is everything okay? I promise nothing bad shall happen," I told her trying to make her feel more comfortable.
"Sorry your highness. I do not have much experience with ballroom dancing. I guess I am just nervous about that," she told me making sure not to look me in the eye.
"Your father didn't teach you before the ball?" I was surprised she didn't learn this growing up. I had to have a crash course on becoming a royal but I assumed that most if not all other royals learned from the moment they could talk on.
"He had wanted to but things beyond his control got in his way so this is one of the things that he just hadn't been able to teach me. Prince Charles has taught be a little. To be honest though I think he set this part up," she explained with a short glare sent to the back of Prince Charles's head at the last part.
"Why would he do that?" That part seemed highly suspicious.
"I accidentally mentioned that you reminded me much of my father when he was your age. I guess that was enough for him to do this."
"I am certain that your father would be proud of his princess's dancing skills."
At that time the music was coming to an end and I gave her one last bow before going to find by fiancé.
"Would you like another dance?"
"My feet are killing me. If only I thought to wear my comfortable shoes."
"Would you like me to fetch them for you my dear?"
"My hero."
There and it came full circle back to the episode. Sorry that the characters (especially Emma) are OOC. I might do a second chapter where David and Killian talk about the ball though if I do the OOC warning is still in effect. Also the change between Hook and Killian was on purpose. He acts like Killian so I refer to him as such but Emma still called him Hook at that point so that is how I have her refer to him. Also, please review and tell me how I can improve my writing.
