My heart takes off on a high speed chase

Now don't be scared, it's only love

Baby, that we're falling in"

Major SPOILER ALERT HERE-but I can't conceal it ;) I was speechless and crying my eyes out when Anna and Elsa where reunited. I nearly fainted lol-with all the blood rushing to my head.

"Well"-a smiling Elsa said her lips upturned mischievously "Shall we then? You invited me to go shopping? Didn't you?"

She wants to build a snowman-she wants to build one with me! A snowman-we're going to build one together.

"Emma?" Elsa said again a bit louder "Are we still going shopping?"

A surprised and embarrassed Emma finally came crashing back to Earth. A deep blush crept to her cheeks-please let her think I'm blushing because I'm so cold and not because-I was just oh God-staring into her eyes and got so lost. How could this happened to me -so hopelessly set adrift in such perfect azure eyes? God like waves unable to resist the pull of the tide.

Struggling to remain grounded Emma tore her eyes from Elsa's and as if by magic; her heart was slowly able to return to normal and her pulse to stop racing. Finally able to answer her best friend - now her expression bordered on comical and extremely adorable Elsa thought.

"Emma?" she said quizzically, giving her the most sincere smile she could.

It was with great relief, Emma- found her vision returned to normal. Now she could see-and clearly-her best friend wasn't upset. Only looking back at her curiously with the cutest smile she'd ever seen. Emma had no idea how many times she'd called her name - shit -still all the same, everything seemed alright. She wasn't discovered-yet, her deer in the head light look, hadn't been taken for weirdness. Thank God.

"Yes-oh my gosh-shopping yes-oh I said I'd take you Christmas shopping, didn't I?" she looked down and found startled that their hands were still intertwined. Oh my -

Her breath hitched and her cheeks grew redder and she didn't know whether to let go or not. She didn't want to-nothing had felt more perfect-perfectly right. She was still holding the Queen of Arendelle's hand, she was terrified.

She looks so scared, why does she look so upset? Elsa looked down and saw her hand still intertwined with Emma's. Why would holding her hand make her look so uncomfortable all of a sudden. I've got to show her it's okay-that I'm not going to hurt her. I'd never ever hurt her, I already-lov-I care deeply. Slowly, with a deliberate smile Elsa gave her best friend's hand a comforting squeeze.

Thankfully, Emma found she'd worried for nothing. Elsa apparently didn't think holding her hand, in such an intimate way, was wrong. As she now gave her hand a squeeze and smiled as if to say it's okay and relief washed over her.

"Emma?" Elsa slightly worried "You won't forget about our snowman, will you? I still want - I'd like to show you how with magic. Not tonight but someday-so you see magic isn't always bad-it can be as beautiful as you."

Did she just-Her mind went completely blank and she was sure a goofy smile was again plastered on her face. Taking a deep breath again she willed the words-

"Nothing would make me happier" Emma said. "I promise I won't forget but now-I promised you a wonderful evening of shopping."

Elsa smiled and swinging her hand with Emma's followed closely at her side through the now falling snow. It swirled around their feet and left sparkles in their hair that shimmered through the light of the street lamps. Elsa had never thought she could be this happy with someone who wasn't Anna. She knew she should feel guilty -partly she did. She wanted Anna to be with her, here in Storybrooke-but she didn't want to leave Emma. She adored this beautiful extraordinary girl -she'd never had a friend who was magical. She knew that Anna would love her too-Anna, her beloved sister. She missed her so much and wanted so desperately to find her. She couldn't even imagine, she'd get control of her powers again-but she had a lot due to her strange new friendship. If she wanted to be completely honest with herself, it was mostly because of how safe she felt with Emma. She just knew she'd never hurt her - no she'd keep her safe. She'd show her how to use her magic, just like Anna had showed her. There was beauty in her powers and Emma deserved to be shown how amazing she already was.

Playfully -even showing off a little, Elsa used her left hand to send up some sparks that danced among the snow -with glittering power. She'd never used magic for fun, except with Anna. This daring, adventurous side she knew was because of Emma. She knew she was something so special and she just had to share as much with her as she could. Emma watched in awe, as Elsa so daringly used her magic -without fear. She wished she wasn't so afraid - but somehow being so close to her, maybe she wasn't.

Elsa noticed Emma, she was excited- looking at her now Elsa was glowing. Warmth spread throughout her body, tingling with the soft adoration of her friend's awestruck stare. She watched the magic so easily leave her fingers and Emma's eyes sparkled, they danced like chips of ice. Elsa caught her breath, her friend was just too stunning too gorgeous, her heart picked up a little bit. Under the street lamps with the snow falling, Elsa thought the crystals clinging to her blonde hair gave her a halo. She couldn't believe -this was happening she felt just a little faint.

Emma, herself, couldn't help every so often sneaking a glance at the women who was progressively stealing her heart. Here among the snow, gusting up and around Elsa, she was sure she caught a glimpse of the queen who had created an ice castle. Here was such a power but such a control in every graceful step. If there were others on the sidewalk she didn't notice. She was completely taken by the angel who was holding her hand. She'd have to follow her anymore and that scared her to her core.

She's so beautiful -damn it - I can't think that way- she's my friend-but oh my God-she's takes my breath away -and her smile, her eyes - her lips -I just want to kiss- even when she's so serious she's just so-

Emma could tell her mind was turning to mush where the queen was concerned.

Everything about tonight is romantic Elsa thought wait -what? I can't possibly be using that word right she chided. Romantic can't describe two best friends-not together-especially not two girls. Seriously -what's gotten into you Elsa-your a queen she's a princess. You can't think that way-it's wrong, there's no way she'd ever feel- Yet, all the same she couldn't deny she was getting lost in everything -especially in the feel of Emma's hand.

So both were all too thankful when they reached the first shop.

Elsa had never seen Christmas lights and she clapped her hands in delight-her happiness adorable-Emma thought.

Though, instantly, when her hand had lost Emma's both regretted the lose of touch, when Elsa in her excitement couldn't contain her delight.

To avoid the awkwardness she felt, Emma felt the need to explain a little about Christmas-in her world.

"After the second curse -our town ended up with some new shops" Emma explained. "Now we have all these small boutiques -" Elsa's face was pressed to the glass, lost to everything- her nose making the window frost. "Like the ice-cream parlor." Emma winced as she said it but the Queen took no notice.

Never had Elsa seen anything like this in Arendelle so she just stared in awe. In the window as though by magic she saw a tiny little town. She couldn't contain her excitement, what was this? What magic had created such beauty in miniature?

Emma just watched her amused - as she gave a perfect ecstatic squeal when she saw the little mechanical horse drawn carriage in a winter wonderland. The blue twinkle lights gave the scene a quiet - soft light - blinking on and off under a moon. Emma knew that the snow was cotton balls but she would pretend it was real for Elsa. The horses pulling the sleigh had bells- a couple sat snuggled close -sailing through the snow. Emma wished more than anything that that couple could be her and Elsa. What is wrong with me?

"Oh my gosh" Elsa said using the colloquial saying with ease, much to Emma's delight.

She giggled and pointed "Oh see Emma it's moving." She simply couldn't get enough. Her voice rang with happiness at each new discovery and so she demanded Emma's attention.

Emma knew it wasn't magic that the sleigh was on a track as it glided out of sight behind a hill. Now, though Elsa had discovered the ice skaters on the pond on the left. Two little girls holding hands and crossing the deep sparkling blue pond. The blue muted when compared to the of beauty of Elsa's own eyes she noticed. Emma blushed again softly biting her lip realizing-her thoughts were coming hard and fast.

"Anna and I used to ice skate like that" Elsa said suddenly even wistfully. Her eyes seemed to fill up with tears and Emma hurt at the sight.

"We'll find her I promise Elsa." -I want to hug her and tell her it's going to be okay.

"I believe you."

"I'm glad you do" Emma said softly. "Would you like-" her words cut off as she nearly fainted when Elsa lay her head on her shoulder.

"Would I like what?"

If I kissed you - Oh my god Swan stop it.

"If we went inside and did a little shopping?"

"Oh yes, please!"
