Today Was A Fairytale

AN: I love the song, which this story is based off of, so much! This request was made by LuvPeaceCandy.

And I shall! Hope you all enjoy this one-shot.

Dear Journal,

Reflection has been the only way I have ever been able to get away in this new life of mine, and you know that. Today, I might just be able to say, is the turning point in all that. This might very well be goodbye... because today was a fairytale...

-Flashback-

The library is the only place I can escape the annoyance that sometimes comes with my friends. Erica just talks about her latest date, also known as her latest meal. Rory, well, that in itself should explain. Benny always talks about his latest flirtation failure or spell casting failure. Then, there's Ethan. Sweet, kind, caring, dorky Ethan has nothing really bad about him. I guess he really isn't an annoyance. I smile to myself before opening my book and starting to read.

"H-hey Sarah."

I look up from my book to find a certain shaggy haired boy looking down at me. A plastic crown sits lopsided on his head and his goofy grin causes a smile to spread across my face. I start to giggle, but suppress the urge.

"What's with the crown Ethan? Or should I say prince charming," I joke sweetly.

"Oh, well, I lost a bet with Benny. He said I had to wear this today," he touches the crown for emphasis. "It's not as bad as his normal consequences, so I'm worried he might have charmed it or something," he continues.

I look down at the ground in Benny, he did charm that crown and something is going to happen right about-

A warm hand takes mine and I look up. I blink in surprise when I find that it belongs to Ethan. "Um, but Sarah, I didn't come over here to tell you about that," he trails off in his thoughts. His other hand takes my hand as well. Absentmindedly, he rubs small circles in the back of my hand with the pads of his thumbs.

If I wasn't a bloodsucking creature of the night, I would definitely be blushing right now.

Ethan smiles at me and then continues to talk, "would you like to go out with me tonight?"

I nod. Benny did charm that stupid crown. Wait, I just realized what I did; I just agreed to go on a date with Ethan. That isn't what the nod was for though! I'm about to protest when...

"Really? That's great! I'll pick you up at six," he says with a wink before walking away.

Well it looks like I have a date tonight; I sigh to myself. I glance around the library taking in the shelves of books and potted plants. My eyes fall on two of my friends in the back corner of the big room. Their voices travel well through the silent air, but they are so soft. If I was not a vampire, there is no way I would be able to hear them.

"We can't tell a soul," Benny whispers as he brushes a strand of hair from her face.

A giggle escapes her lips. Erica giggles? She nods before placing a kiss on to Benny's rosy cheek. With a small wave, she exits the library.

My thoughts swirl, becoming a confusing mush. "What the frak just happened," I say a little too loud, earning a glare from the librarian. "Sorry," I mutter and exit into the hallway. The bell chimes and students flood the narrow passage, and I begin the fight to my next class.

At Six O'clock...

I had put on my favorite purple cocktail dress and a pair of black ballet flats. Now, I sit on my couch, staring at the door in anticipation. My palms were sweating, but why? I should not be nervous, this is dorky Ethan we're talking about. The doorbell chimes and I scramble to the door before wrenching it open. I look him over; he has on dark grey t-shirt and lighter jeans.

"Hey Sarah, you look amazing."

I blush some, "oh, um, thanks Ethan." After he extends his arm to me, I gasp it gently. He has been working out obviously. It would be great if- get a hold of yourself Sarah. I smile at Ethan, and I can tell he noticed me checking out his muscles.

We continue to walk down the street, talking and laughing, until we reach the restaurant. He holds open the door like a gentleman, and allows me to cross the threshold. We take a seat and again we engage in chit-chat. A waiter brings us our drinks, but clumsily spills my water all over me. After much apologies, I stand from the table and rush outside the restaurant.

"Sarah," Ethan calls after me as he follows me out of the restaurant.

"I'm a mess Ethan! Look at my dress," I sob as he catches up to me.

His hands rest on my arms, "Sarah, you're still the prettiest girl in the world."

That's when time seemed to stop. Leave it to Ethan to make me feel amazing even when I look awful. He presses his lips onto mine for a few seconds, before retreating. What is that new feeling in the air? It's like... magic. My heart skips a beat and a warm fuzzy feeling spreads through my body. I think I just fell in love.

Ethan's shy smile penetrates my thoughts, taking me to another world, another planet where it is just the two of us. Everything about him suddenly feels so right, as he pulls me into a tight embrace. "I love you Sarah," he whispers into my dark locks. Everything was clearer; it made sense.

"I love you too."

He pulls back to look me in the eyes. The biggest grin forms on his lips, and I cannot help but smile myself. "By the way," he says in the same hushed tone, "if you turn around you can see Benny and Erica kissing on a park bench."

I spin around in Ethan's arms, leaning on his chest for support, "oh my goodness."

Before us sit Benny and Erica, pulling away from their previous lip lock. "Check this out," says Benny as he snakes one of his arms around Erica's waist. Lifting his hand, he waves it in the air; magic fills the air around them. "That's from the kiss," he tells her. "You know," he continues, "I feel in love with you the first day I saw you standing in the cafeteria at school."

"Really," asked Erica in disbelief. "I guess I should confess too. I never said anything before, but whenever I'm around you, time seems to slow down. My heart starts to beat again..." she lays his hand on her chest. "Do you feel it?"

Benny nods in response.

I turn back to face Ethan, kissing his lips gently. The Taylor Swift song plays through my brain:

"...But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale...

Today was a fairytale..."

-End of Flashback-

So, that's basically it I think... Well journal, my doorbell just rang. I bet it's Ethan! He said he would come over later... It's later! (insert me freaking out here) Bye for now! And possibly ever...

~Sarah
