ONE-SHOT

Emma POV

Great, now the Witches Council has another reason to be mad at me. I froze time, ON ACCIDENT. I know I need to do my Chosen One training, but I have other responsibilities I can't forget about and that the Witches Council doesn't understand. Now that everyone is unfrozen, I guess I better get back to work.

I was passing out the rest of the drinks to customers when I saw Daniel fall from his lifeguard post onto the ground. I quickly rushed over as I heard him calling me.

"DANNY! Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

"Emma? Did something happen?"

"You don't wanna know." I assured him. I think it would be best to not tell him about freezing time. I tried to avoid eye contact, due to me not being a good liar. When I looked up, I saw someone I kind of forgot about. Someone who I still cared for, when no one else did. Someone who I could relate to. Someone I used to date. Someone I didn't realize I missed until now.

Jax.

He was running in all black with a couple of other people, and I'm not sure why. When he saw me, he stopped, smiled and waved. I gave him a smile back, since I couldn't wave with a tray in my hand. He looked genuilely happy to see me. All of a sudden, I could heart my heartbeat in my ears and got goosebumps all over my body. Is this just from him smiling at me? I tried to ignore it. I then saw Agamemnon come out of nowhere and yell at Jax I guess about stopping, so he continued running, and I watched him.

I also forgot that Daniel was talking to me.

"...it's gonna be a great year!" I heard him say.

"It is." I replied, still looking at Jax. I zoned Daniel out again. Why couldn't I stop staring at him? He's trouble. Well, he did give back my powers so my evil clone wouldn't destroy the realm, and he apologized for almost destroying the realm afterwards, and I forgave him. But, he still was bad news...right?

Why did that sound like a question? Besides, we're too different. Daniel and I are happy and have a lot more in common. At least, I thought we did. Jax and I both know what it's like for our spells to go awry, we both have been punished by the Council, and we both lost our mom. I remember when I told him he takes after his mom more than he think. I thought about almost kissing him in the storm, then actually kissing him after he gave up his powers for me, and dating him...

I didn't realize how much time had passed while I was thinking about Jax. I also didn't realize I still had my goofy smile on my face.

"Emma? Emma?! What are you looking at?!" he asked concern. I almost instantly snapped out of my trance. I stammered with my response.

"Umm, uh, nothing! Gotto get back to work, bye!" I kissed him on the cheek and went back to work. I tried to push those thoughts and possible feelings out of my head. Yes, Jax and I dated, but I realized that Daniel is a better guy for me. He never gets in trouble, and always thinks I should do the right thing. Plus he write songs for me! Though I do love Daniel, it still seemed like a part of me still had feelings for Jax, like a little trouble isn't such a bad thing. What?! Yea, right! I love Daniel and only Daniel...right? WHY SO MANY QUESTIONS? I SHOULD BE SURE. Only one thing seemed sure at that moment:

This is gonna be a long year (little did she know Agamemnon said the same thing on the other side of the beach). ;)
