I don't own OUAT


Killian was sitting on a bench, staring at nothing while holding an unpicked shirt and smiling goofily. His Master was trying to fix the shop. The bandits left it worse than when Killian was looking for the fabric. When he finished, he began to look for something. After a while, he asked Killian

"Hey, boy, have you seen t-?" when he didn't receive an answer, he looked at the boy. He sighed and shook his head "Still thinking about the crazy girl you met yesterday?"

When he heard 'crazy', he stood from the bench and said angrily to his Master

"She's not crazy!"

"Sorry, but didn't you say she thinks she's the Princess?"

"Oh, yeah, she's crazy…" he said sitting back. He smiled again "But a very beautiful crazy one…"

"Don't let her fool you, boy. Pretty faces are deceptive" the older man said and resumed his search.

"Maybe you're right…" Killian sighed but then smiled again "But if that pretty face is hers, I don't mind the risk" he said and then looked down at his master, who was kneeling under the table "What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for the golden velvet fabric. I couldn't find it since the Three Terrible entered the tailoring"

"Well, that's because they left it worse than me…" he said and then realized something "Can it be one of the fabrics the bandits took? It was quite expensive…"

The man stood from the floor and rubbed the back of his head.

"You're probably right…" he sighed frustrated "Where are you going?" he asked when he saw Killian at the door

"Yesterday, we arranged to meet at the fair today and, well…" he said looking down.

"Go to the fair" the tailor said. He looked up at his Master

"What?"

"I said 'go to the fair'. Is something wrong with your hearing?"

"N-No, Master" he couldn't help the smile on his face "Than you"

"Wait…" the older man said "Get some bread from the baker on your way"

"Sure" Killian said and left the shop.


Mal entered the Princess' room. She saw her sitting next to the window staring down at the village. She hadn't noticed her Nana's presence. The young Princess sighed. It wasn't the kind of sigh you do when you did something you've always wanted to, but more like a sad sigh.

"Oh, child…" Mal said approaching the Princess. Regina turned to her "Are you thinking about that boy you said you met down there?"

"Yes" she said nodding

"You really liked him, didn't you?" she asked with a playful smile. Regina bit her lip and nodded again "Then why are you sad?"

"Because I told him I will see him again at the fair, but I can't go"

"Why not?"

"Because…" she tried to think about a reason, but nothing came. She tilted her head

"See? There's nothing stopping you for going back…" her friend said.

"You're right" a smile lit up her face, but then faded "But, what if Mother finds out?"

"Oh, don't worry, she won't…"

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because I'll cover you"

"Will you do that for me?"

"I will do anything for you, sweetheart…" the older woman said stoking her cheek "Now change your clothes. You won't want him to believe you left him standing…" Regina hugged her

"Thank you" she whispered and began to change quickly.


Killian was in the fair holding a loaf of bread, looking between the many people there trying to find Regina.

The first thing Regina did when she got to the fair was search for Killian, but she couldn't see him with all the people walking around.

He went the fountain and got on its edge to get a better view, and looked around to see if she was near there. When he didn't see her, he got down and began to walk around the fountain.

She went to the fountain and walked around it, searching for him with her gaze.

He was starting to think she wouldn't show up.

She was starting to think he wouldn't show up.

When he turned to leave, he bumped into someone.

When she turned to leave, she bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry…" they both said and looked up at the person. A smile appeared on their faces as they saw they were standing in front of one they were looking for.

"It's you!" they said together. Their smiles grew bigger "Yes, it's me" they said again, and chuckled "I was just looking for you…" they both looked down, blushing.

Regina saw he was holding something.

"What's that?"

"A loaf of bread" he said lifting it. Regina smelled its delicious aroma and her tummy growled. He chuckled when she blushed "You hungry?" she nodded "Well, that's a good thing. It means you don't think you're the Princess anymore"

"I am the Princess" she said putting her hands on her hips.

"Have you ever seen a Princess hungry?"

"Well, no... But that's because the palace is far away from here…"

"Whatever…" he said rolling his eyes "Do you want some?" she smiled and nodded. He handed her the bread.

Before taking a bite, she looked up at him with seriousness.

"You, dear Killian, are the only one that knows I'm the Princess" she took a step forward "Promise me you won't tell anyone" he took a step too. Their faces were really close.

"I promise, m'lady"

She smiled and then she sat at the fountain and gave the bread a bite. He sat next to her and watched her eat.


The people began to retire from the fair, and there were only some traders, apart from them. When she took one of the lasts bites of bread, she looked at her almost empty hand.

"Look…" she said "We almost finish the bread!"

"We? No, you almost finish the bread…" his eyes grew wide "The bread that was my Master's!"

"Who's your Master?"

"The village's tailor"

"Don't worry, I'll tell Mother to send him 50 loaves of bread" she said as she took the last bite of bread. He chuckled

"Of course…" he looked as her jaw raised up and down and the way her nose wrinkled as she chewed. He smiled.

"Why are you smiling?" she asked suddenly

"You're eating" she chuckled "What's so funny?"

"That you say you're smiling because I'm eating"

"I'm sorry, but it's not my fault you that look adorable when you eat…" when they realized what he said, he brought a hand to his mouth and Regina's cheeks turned a soft shade of pink.

"You…" Regina said after an awkward silence "You really think that?"

"Yes…" he said rubbing the back of his head. She smiled shyly

"That's the most beautiful thing someone's ever said to me…"

"That I don't believe…"

"I thought you didn't believe I'm the Princess" she said raising an eyebrow

"Well, that either, but this I really don't believe…" she shrugged and looked down "Come on, you can't tell me that no-one's ever told you how beautiful you are…"

He regretted those words the moment they left his mouth and she looked into his eyes and noticed her really meant it. He turned around and closed his eyes, embarrassed. He then felt a hand on his cheek turning his head around. When he opened his eyes, he was staring at tender, beautiful brown ones that seemed to be smiling at him.

"Now that is the most beautiful thing someone has ever said to me" she said softly and placed a long, gentle kiss to his cheek. "I should get going…" she said.

"Y-Yeah, sure, no problem…" he stood and held out his hand. She took it.

"I'm sorry about the bread" she said as he pulled her up.

"Oh, don't worry" he said.

"But didn't you say your Master would get mad at you for you gave the bread to a stranger?" he shrugged

"I don't mind knowing I did it for a good reason" he said smiling "Besides, we're not strangers…"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I know a lot of stuff about you" she chuckled

"Really?" she said while crossing her arms over her chest "What do you know about me?"

"I know that you're a woman. A very beautiful woman…" she rolled her eyes

"That's all you can tell?" he shook his head

"I know that you're kind, fair, and you love kids"

"Alright, I agree, but how did you know I like kids?"

"I saw the way you looked at a group of children playing while you were eating"

"And what about staring at children tells you I like them?"

"I can see it in your eyes"

"Are you saying you can tell about people by looking at their eyes?"

"I like calling it reading, and yes, but not everyone…"

There was a small silence.

"Aren't you going to tell me what persons you can 'read'?"

"Nope"

"Why not?"

"Simple…" he smirked. She raised an eyebrow "Because I don't want to"

She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it, and before he could say anything else, she turned around.

"Goodbye" she said walking away.

Killian had wanted to ask her something all day but never got a chance, and now that he found it, he was going to lose it. He quickly looked around and spotted a rose on the floor. He took it and hid it behind his back, then ran after her.

"Wait!" he took her hand and she turned to him "Tomorrow night it's the Full Moon's Festival" he handed her the rose "Would you like to go with me?"

She looked at him and then down at the rose. Should she accept? She looked up at him and saw his eyes full of hope. Her lips formed a thin line before she smiled and nodded her head.

"I'd love to go with you" her smile grew as she saw how his face lit up with joy. She took the rose and kissed his cheek

"I'll meet you here at 7. Don't be late…" she said and headed back to the palace, leaving a smiling-like-a-fool Killian behind.


I really hope you liked it!
