Note: This chapter is shorter as it is mostly fluff. Gotta try my hand at new things guys.

"Okay I got this."

*crash*

"Okay I don't got this…"

Emma had been trying to 'poof' her clothes pack for the last half hour. All she had currently succeeded in doing was throwing things around the room. She brought up a clear imagine in her mind, her favourite red leather jacket, picturing it and channelling her magic with a flick of her wrist. The alarm clock went flying across the room, shattering against the far wall.

The sheriff let out a growl, "When I start speaking to my girlfriend again, I need to remember to ask her to work on my magic with me. This is slightly pathetic".

A familiar laugh reached her ears. "Well Emma I can't help but agree. You are talking to broken devices scattered around the room."

Emma glanced over her shoulder and rolled her eyes at the intruder in the doorway, "Thanks, ever so kind to the plight of the helpless aren't you?" The blonde intruder moved away from the doorway, advancing closer to her friend. "The Queen leave you nothing to cover up with? Wow harsh" the blonde finished with a laugh, she knew she should help her friend but she couldn't help but laugh at the situation.

"Can you make me a pair of pants with your magic? I am kinda exposed here" Emma realized her state of undress and reddened slightly at the regal blonde walking in on her in her underwear.

"Sorry Em, not only do I not want to risk the wrath of the Evil Queen. But you really aren't used to my magic, I don't want you to get hurt." The blonde truly did want to help her friend…risking the wrath of the former queen being to foremost reason not too.

"Come on, we are like sisters. It doesn't bother you." The blonde shrugged, "The cold's never bothered me". Emma rolled her eyes…."sometimes I forget all your magic is technically ice. I'm a wimp with cold, pants out of ice would not be good." Emma shivered at the though and Elsa let out a small laugh "Most do. Now I came in here with a purpose. Dress on. We are gonna be late. Regina already left with Henry."

Emma looked at the cause of all her misery….the elegant emerald dress…I loathe you. Emma narrowed her eyes at the offending fabric and let out a sigh "I lost this round eh?" Elsa nodded "Yes but the night is young, you may just best Regina once before the night is out". Emma walked over and lifted the dress taking a good long look, "Alright, lets see if we can turn me into a princess."

Regina sipped her glass of red wine from her position at the head table. She glanced at the empty seat to her right and sighed, while she had hoped Emma would arrive on time to be announced together she knew it had been highly unlikely. Good thing Elsa arrived when she did, otherwise we would all be late.

Henry was making his round like the prince he was, greeting guests with a welcoming smile and a respectful bow. Snow and Charming had not yet been announced and with their daughter fighting the dress wars, it was up to the young prince to pass on good will from his family to guests for the time being.

From the top of the staircase leading into the ballroom the herald tapped his staff on the marble floor, "Announcing Elsa, Queen of Arendelle and her Royal Highness Emma, Crown Princess of the White Kingdom".

Regina's head snapped up, brown eyes locked on the double door entrance. About damn time the blonde duo showed up. Regina whispered a quick prayer to herself, hoping beyond hope that Emma was wearing the dress, If she is in her underwear I swear I am breaking up with her.

The double doors flew open, bringing a slight chill with them. Elsa strode into the room like the queen she was, her head held high as she made her way down the marble staircase.

Hair down in her signature braid, her bangs not as unruly as normal, crown holding the golden locks in place. The ice heels making a soft click as they contacted with the marble, her cape of ice floating behind her. Her dress was a deep blue, almost navy in colour and most surely made of ice as it was sparkling ever so slightly as the light hit it just right. The dress came around the braided blonde's neck in a halter style formation, remaining tight until the fabric reached her hips where it flared out a little, making it able for the blonde to walk in that confident stride.

Regina eyed the blondes outfit carefully, while it was certainly not 'Enchanted Forest Formal' but more modern but the brunette supposed that made sense Elsa herself is a more modern queen. She has grown in confidence in her short time back in Arendelle, ruling on her own without a suitor. That has not been done in quiet some time, not since….me.

So trapped in her musing the brunette failed to notice the other blonde royal slip in. Emma was trying to make herself as small as possible, draw as little attention to herself as she could, even going so far as to attempt to hide behind the footman. The footman to his credit merely took one step to the side, and said as gently as he could "You need to go down these steps sometime Princess. It may as well be now" Emma sighed for she knew he was right.

She took a deep breath and grabbed the railing for support, Regina may be able to run a marathon in 6-inch heels, I however do not posses such a talent. Using her other hand to make sure she didn't trip on her dress Emma started her decent to the ballroom floor.

Sensing her girlfriends presence, brown eyes snapped up to meet green across the floor, Well she is not in her underwear that is for sure. It seemed that the blonde queen had taken a few liberties in dressing up the White princess. Emma's long golden hair was up in a braided bun, a small crown atop her head. The emerald satin heels were crested with snowflakes, similar to Elsa's ice heels.

But what really drew Regina's gaze was the gown. The emerald satin gown was strapless, and hugged perfectly to Emma's figure. Similar to Elsa's again the gown remained tighter to the blonde's body until it got closer to her hips where the emerald gown flared out more in a typical princess style fashion. But the ice queen had again made her own improvements, the gown was covered in the ice overlay all of Elsa's dresses had, making the gown sparkle in the light and matching the spark hidden in Emma's green eyes that few got to see.

"I took a few liberties" a voice said from beside Regina and the brunette jumped. Startled she turned to the young queen, "I was hoping to avoid a heart attack tonight dear" she snapped, not liking that her composure was ruined.

"If you weren't so busy making goo-goo eyes at your girl you would have seen me walk up, Your Majesty" the young queen said with a roll of her eyes. Never before would she have dreamed of addressing the older queen this way but Elsa's confidence had grown, newfound sass along with it.

"She's nervous Regina. You should go to her" Elsa suggested, nodding slightly in the direction of her friend before she turned and walked away to mingle with other royals and guests. Brown eyes once again drifted across the floor and locked with green as Regina stood, giving Emma her first view of the queens outfit.

Emma faltered at the last step, almost tripping as she got a good look at the dark queen's attire for the evening.

"I lost this round too..."
