Christmas Special
'Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light,
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight...'
Music drifted though out the house, a strawberry blonde sing along with it while she decorated the tree within the living room. Genevieve was in the best of moods, everything about Christmas brought joy to the young woman. Katherine walked into the living room to see her sister singing and dancing around the room, took one look at her and turned back around to leave the room. She did not make it far, "Katherine! Come and help me decorate the tree!" Genevieve said in a sing-song tone.
Katherine took one look at her sister and gave her a flat out no. Genevieve spirit fell a slight bit. Katherine usually was not like this during this time the year. Genevieve knew her sister did not like the cold weather as much like she did and preferred the warmer weather but she never had a negative attitude towards it.
Genevieve set down the box of ornaments and went after Katherine to see what was wrong. Genevieve found her in the drawing room in front of the fireplace. Genevieve saw flickers of the fire changing into different shapes. "Katherine?" Genevieve asked softly. Katherine brought her knees to her chest and cradled them towards her. She watched the flicker of the fire, as thoughts drifted through her mind.
"It's nothing Eve…" Katherine said while not taking her eyes off the fire. Her line of vision was blocked by her sister standing in front of it. Genevieve lowered herself so she was face to face with her young sister. She tilted her head to side like she always did when she knew someone was lying. "Don't lie to me Katherine, I'm your twin sister! I know when something is bothering you." She said softly.
Katherine stared blankly at her. She could see all the emotions running through Genevieve by her eyes. Genevieve was not one to show a weakness in front of someone. She kept everything bottled up, putting on a smile to hide her worries and her pains. She always put other in front of her, helping them more than herself. As much as she hid, you could always tell how she was feeling through her eyes.
What Katherine saw made her go more into despair, for within Genevieve's eyes was joy, happiness and most of all love. By loving someone and to be loved back. Genevieve was in love with Jefferson and he loved her back just as much. They was so happy together it sickened Katherine. Not that she minded her sister being in love, she was really happy for her! It was just that her love life was not going so well.
Katherine did not know what to do to get though the hard shell of Mr. Gold. She had tried everything to get through to him but just when she almost there, she does one wrong move and he pushes her out once more. Piece by piece Katherine was breaking inside, slowly she was losing hope that she would happy with the one she loved. She wanted a love that was like her sisters. She… she just wanted to be happy…
A soft look came to Genevieve face when Katherine did not answer her, she had a feeling why her sister was like this. An idea came to mind! "I got it!" Genevieve sprang to her feet and rushed up the stairs. Katherine looked up and with her eyes followed her sister. She saw her coming down the stairs ready to take on the winter wonderland outside. "Eve… where are you going?" Katherine asked as she got up to see what was wrong with the older twin of hers. A bright smile was on her face while she skipped over to her sister. She whipped her sister in to a hug and said, "Don't you worry Kat, I got everything under control. I'm going to give you the best Christmas along with everyone one else in town." Katherine was still processing what her sister said while Genevieve left the house to bring her idea along with her.
Word had spread around the town like wild fire, a Christmas ball where everyone in town was invited to attend. The whole idea was for Genevieve and Mayor Mills even thought it was a good idea. All the children, knowing they would not be into a ball, are having their own little party. And when it get late their parents take them home and put them to bed.
The adults would have a ball, dancing, cocktails, and caroling! Katherine looked down at the flyer in her hands then back up at the smiling Genevieve. Raising a brow Katherine asked, "This was you BIG idea?! A ball!?" Genevieve laughed, "Yes this was my big idea! Don't worry Katherine you will find more later!"
Katherine shook her head, not knowing what was going through her sister head. Genevieve reached out and grabbed Katherine by the arm. "What are you doing Eve?" Genevieve dragged her sister up the stairs and pushed her in to her bathroom. "Take a shower! We have to get you ready for the ball! And yes you are wearing a dress! Don't even argue with me, you will be thanking me later!" With that Genevieve closed the door to an astonished Katherine.
Katherine did not have the strength to fight back with her sister and did what she was told. Thoughts of what her sister was planning ran through her head a lightning fast speed. 'What is Eve up to?'

"Eve! Why do I have to wear a dress?" Katherine whined as Genevieve worked on her hair putting it into an elegant braided bun. The dress Kathrine was wear was beautiful and was one of Genevieve's. The dress was a strapless red evening dress made of the highest quality satin and chiffon fabric. The dress had a lace up back and beaded flower design along the whole dress. The shoes Genevieve gave her was Burberry Gem-Embellished Satin Platform Sandals in black. And to top off her look she was given so red dangle earrings, a red necklace and a red oversize wrap coat (To get a better picture look at the links. There are polyvore .com just at the rest on there! Fan fiction won't let us add links sadlyL).
Genevieve smiled at her creation in front of her. "There you are all done! You going to have men fall to your feet!" She giggled. Genevieve was also looked as beautiful always. Her blonde hair was lightly curled and fell down her back. Her dress was a beautiful light blue Chic Chiffon Sweetheart Neckline Floor-length A-line dress with rhinestones on the top of the dress. Blue high heel, along with her signature snowflake earrings and a blue pendent with a snowflake inside the gem.
Katherine could tell that Jefferson would not be able to take his eyes off of Genevieve tonight. Seeing her sister back in the long beautiful dress that she always wore in their kingdom made her miss their old life. Katherine had been trying for years to get her sister to wear pants and she finally succeeded but Genevieve just looked so natural and right to be back in dress.
"You look beautiful Eve!" Katherine said watching her sister curl the last bit of her hair. Genevieve looked back at her sister and smiled, "Thank you Kat! You do too!" Genevieve put on her white wrap coat and turned to her sister, "Ready?" Katherine put on her coat and sighed. "As I'll ever be."
The ball looks like .
Genevieve and Katherine arrived at the ball a good hour into it. Katherine stopped at the door the door staring at all the happy couples enjoying their selves. She turned to Genevieve, "I don't want to go in there with all those happy couples!" Genevieve put her hand on Katherine shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "Katherine, trust me you are going to have a good time."
Genevieve grabbed her by the arm and dragged her as far as she could. Katherine complaining the whole way. "Genevieve!" Genevieve looked up to see Jefferson. Genevieve let go of Katherine quickly and straighten herself. A huge smile came to her face, "Jefferson!"
Genevieve walked over to Jefferson and he wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a quick kiss on the head. "You looks lovey Genevieve." Her smile got wider. "Thanks! You don't look so bad yourself." Katherine looked over at the lovely atmospheres that her sister and Jefferson was in. She quietly turned around and tried to slowly walk away.
Genevieve heard a click of a heel and quickly turned towards the escaping Katherine. A hard look came to her face. She excused herself from Jefferson just for a moment and went after her sister. Katherine, who made it to the parking lot, came to a stop. Katherine tried to move her feet, but failed. A cold chill came over her as she looked down to see ice planting her feet to the ground. "Katherine." A panicked look came to Katherine face. She tried to un-frost her feet but just when she got them free, more ice to the place of the last set. "Eve! Just let me go home, I don't want to be here!" Katherine whined.
Genevieve grabbed Katherine and dragged her back into the building, "Katherine, you are going to stay and you are going to enjoy the ball! Okay! Got it? Good!" Katherine struggled to get herself loose from Genevieve grip. "No let me go!"
Genevieve walked by Jefferson and gave him a smile, still dragging Katherine behind her. They finally got inside and Genevieve pushed Katherine in a random direction and left her to go back to Jefferson. Katherine lost her balance and almost fell into someone. A hand reached out to steady her. "Are you ok?" A familiar voice came to Katherine's ears. "I'm sorry…" Katherine looked up to see who helped her was …
"What was that all about?" Jefferson asked Genevieve when she came back. Genevieve shook her head with a gentle smile on her face. "Oh, nothing! Just making sure my dear little sister gets the best Christmas ever!" Genevieve looked over to her sister with Emma Swan. Katherine being Katherine almost fell into her. Genevieve turned back to Jefferson, "Yea she will be fine."
Soft music ran through the hall, couples pulling each other into a soft romantic dance. Jefferson offered his arm out to Genevieve, "May I have this dance?" Genevieve smile, "You may." Genevieve giggled as Jefferson pulled her out to the dance floor. Genevieve was having the time of her life.
Katherine watched as Genevieve and Jefferson dance to the slow song that was playing. "Is that your sister?" Emma asked point towards Genevieve. Katherine smiled as she leaned against the wall behind her. Emma, the one that helped her not fall was now hanging out with her, not wanting to be there herself. Mary-Margret dragged her along to get her out of their apartment. "Yea, she my sister. My twin in fact." Over the short moment that Katherine and Emma meet they became comfortable with each other's company. "So is there are reason you don't want to be here?" Emma asked. Katherine gave her a sideways glance and sighed. "Ball are not my thing, there more Eve's but not mine. And there is not really a point of being here if you don't have someone to go with…" Katherine's eyes darted around the room taking in all the joy and laughter from all the happy people. "Ugh… It makes me sick!" Emma laughed, "Not a fan of true love?" She said sarcastically. "Actually I am but…. When your happy ending can't come true there no point in believing in such things." Sadness riding through her voice.
Katherine's eyes came to a stop. She could not believe what she saw. Mr. Gold, he actually came. A surprised look came to Katherine face as she pulled herself from the wall. She grabbed Emma by the arm and pull her in front of her. "Hide me!" She said with a panic. Emma looked confused, "Who are you hiding from?" She looked around the room to see who it was. Her eyes came across Genevieve and Jefferson. Genevieve had her head buried in Jefferson shoulder, laughing hysterically at her sister sudden situation. Jefferson asked her a question with a confused look on his face. Genevieve only raised her hand and pointed towards Emma and Katherine.
"Are… you hiding from your sister?" Katherine shook her head, "No! She know where I am! I'm hiding from … Mr. Gold?" A disturbed look came to Emma's face. "Mr. Gold? You're kidding right?" Emma asked. "Is he looking this way?" Emma looked towards Mr. Gold who was carefully scanning the room. "No." Emma said flatly. Katherine peeked out from behind her, her eyes meeting Mr. Gold. She quickly moved back behind Emma panicking. "You lied!" Emma still having a disturbed look on her face said, "Well he was not looking at that moment." Emma saw Mr. Gold coming this way. "Umm Katherine…" Katherine still panicking, "…y-yes?" "Mr. Gold is co-"Emma got cut off by a voice of the person Katherine was hiding from. "Hello Ms. Swan." Mr. Gold looked behind Emma at Katherine, "Oh and you too Katherine." Katherine nodded. She gather herself together and made herself look like she was not panicking just a few moment before. She turned towards him with a forced smile. "Good evening Mr. Gold." Katherine saw Genevieve dying of laughter and Jefferson surpassing his laughter. Mr. Gold turned toward Emma, "Would you excuses us for a moment?"
"Umm sure…" Emma left and as she left she saw Katherine back with her panicked look and begging her to come back and to not leave her alone with him. Emma did not stop to help her. Katherine shoulders falling in defeat. "Katherine…" Katherine turned to see Mr. Gold really close to her. A blush came to her face. "U-ummmm…" Mr. Gold lightly grabbed her by the arm and guided her to a quiet place where no one would bother them. "You look beautiful tonight." Katherine blush much more then she already was. "Thank you…" Mr. Gold saw Katherine looking down and trying to get far away from him as she could. "I'm sorry, for pushing you out. I don't really let people in." Katherine looked up at Mr. Gold. She saw a truthful look in his eyes. He came closer to her, as she studied his face to see if he was lying about any of it. "A-are you really sorry? You not just making this up right now?" Both Mr. Gold and Katherine came to a stop.
Mr. Gold reached into his pocket and handed her a small wrapped box. "Here. You might not believe me and think I'm going to push you out. But I'm not." Mr. Gold stepped away from Katherine and turned away from her. As he was about to leave, he looked over his shoulder and said, "I hope you like it and Merry Christmas."
Katherine looked down at the small present Mr. Gold gave her. She opened it to find a beautiful ring (in the link). Tears of joy filled Katherine's eyes. Katherine slipped the ring on her figure and held it to her chest. She pick up the bottom of her dress, kicked of her shoes and ran after Mr. Gold. "Mr. Gold, wait!"
Mr. Gold turned around when he heard Katherine voice. She came to a stop, bending over with her hands on her knees and heaving for air. Katherine took a moment to gather herself and looked at Mr. Gold. With a blush, Katherine mumbled a soft "Thank you." Mr. Gold gave her his signature smile, "No problem dearie." Katherine smiled, then looked up.
A small laugh came from the woman in front of him. "What is it Katherine?" Katherine looked back at Mr. Gold and pointed at what was above them. "Look, mistletoe!" Mr. Gold looked back down at Katherine. She truly looked beautiful, beautiful in a way he never saw around her. She might not know it, but this woman was melting the ice that surrounded his heart. The soft light of the room shined down on her face lighting it up, the makeup around her eyes made them pop. The blue of her eyes shined, showing all her feelings and knowledge she has earned over the years. Mr. Gold pulled her into his arms. Katherine looked startled, "W-what are you doing?" Mr. Gold leaned in closer. "As you said dearie, its mistletoe." What that, all the emotions Mr. Gold has held within him came out in one kiss.
Genevieve giggled as she saw that her plan worked out perfectly. Her smile widened at the sight of Katherine melting within the kiss she was sharing with the one she loved. Jefferson wrapped his arms around Genevieve waist and rested his head on her shoulder. "This was all your plan?" Genevieve smiled and snuggled in to his arms. "Yep."
Jefferson kissed Genevieve on the side of her head. "I got you something. Close your eyes." Genevieve closed her eyes. Jefferson took her left hand a slipped a ring on her finger. Genevieve opened her eyes and looked down at the ring, Jefferson got her. "Jefferson… it's beautiful!" Genevieve turned and kissed Jefferson. Jefferson smiled into the kiss and pick her up and spun her around. Genevieve burst out in laughter. He placed her back on the ground. "I love you." Genevieve looked up at Jefferson and gave him a quick kiss. "I love you too!"
