A/N: After writing "Come What May" I couldn't help myself, I had to let Pam have a go at Eric again for being such a...jerk in the last season. Thus this idea came to mind, some of it is based on a theory I proposed towards the end of "Enjoy The Silence" and contains some borrowed dialogue from America's Sweethearts to flesh it out. It was also partially inspired by the *cough*Disney movies*cough* quoted in the next chapter. The lyrics quoted at the beginning of this chapter (and used in the next) are from the original version of "Part Of Your World" from The Little Mermaid, the lyrics quoted at the start of subsequent chapters are from Taylor Swift's "The Other Side Of The Door."
Anyways, I hope you enjoy my latest S4 rant :)
Dedication: For my dear Fangtasic Fanatic, with sincere thanks for all your help with this :)

Prologue
...
I'd give my life
I'd sell my soul
'Cause I can feel I'll never be whole
But I can see
I'll never be
Part of your world
...
He was back.
She held that precious knowledge close to her heart as she rushed to Bill's mansion to see him.
Along the way she shook off her fears about why he hadn't called her to him: it didn't matter. Now that he was whole again, everything would be all right.
She took the stairs to Bill's front door two at a time and was about to open the door, when Sookie's voice came from inside.
"You gave yourself to me completely," she said, her tone holding a challenging note that Pam wasn't accustomed to hearing from her.
"Yes I did," came Eric's voice, "I love you."
Pam closed her eyes at his words, feeling the world shift underneath her feet.
It couldn't be true…not him, not her Eric.
She was so distressed that she almost missed it as Sookie spoke again: "You don't mean that."
"I saw you, Sookie, when I was first cursed," he told her, his voice low with conviction, "you were wearing a green dress and dancing in the moonlight."
Pam's eyes flew open.
"It was like you were drawing me to you," he continued, "I knew that I had to be with you, that I couldn't live without you. You were meant to be mine." He paused, "And then there you were."
Pam didn't wait to hear what Sookie had to say in response to this revelation; wrenching the front door open, she stalked into Bill's mansion.
Eric looked up at her and a flicker of guilt crossed his features as he rose to meet her.
"Pam," was all he said as he hugged her.
She closed her eyes, willing away the pain and focusing instead on how good it was to have him back. "I missed you," she whispered as they broke apart.
She glanced passed him to where Sookie was still sitting on the couch, "Why didn't you summon me the second you were free?" she asked, hating the pitiful tone that crept into her voice but she had to know.
Eric didn't look at her and she followed his gaze back to Sookie; her expression hardened.
"We'll talk about it later," he said finally, kissing her forehead.
"Fine," she replied, if he noticed the shortness of her tone he ignored it and she watched him cross to the other side of the room
Pam looked over at Sookie: oh, they would talk all right.
