A/N: Hello everyone! I want to apologize for the late update. School has kept me really busy, but I finished last Friday so I'll be able to update more often. I hope you like the new chapter and don't forget to review!

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, and there was a light breeze whistling through the trees. It was the perfect day for the Storybrooke annual fair.
Every year the entire town came out to enjoy rides, games, and cotton candy! This year was no exception. Storybrooke Park was full of people. Henry and Paige were sharing a bag of popcorn, Ruby and Archie were strolling through the crowd, hand in hand. Emma could be seen in her sheriff uniform, making sure no one was getting into any trouble. Even Regina seemed to be enjoying herself. This year, however, was different from all the others. This year Mr. Gold was attending.
Gold had never been one for the Storybrooke fair, but Belle had been so excited when she found out about it, he couldn't possibly say no.
"Oh I'm so excited!" Gushed Belle, as the two approached the Storybrooke Park.
"I'm glad you're so enthusiastic" replied Gold, who was happy seeing a look of pure joy on her face. "I didn't know you loved fairs so much."
"Back in our old world, before the ogre wars, we used to have a fair every year. There would be games, and dancing, and at the end of the fair, there would be a grand feast. It was wonderful."
"Well then Princess Belle," said Gold, leading Belle through the fair gates. "Let the fun begin."
Belle grabbed Gold's hand and the two took off. They wandered through the crowd, Gold bought them some cotton candy, which Belle had never tried before (she loved it) and Belle won Gold a stuffed bear in a game of ring toss. The whole day was fun, but exhausting. At the end of the day, both of them were glad they saved the most relaxing ride for last, the Ferris wheel.
They took their seat on the ride and then up they went.
The sun was just about to set, and the sky was full of colour. As they went higher and higher, their view became more and more magnificent. When they finally reached the top, they could see all of Storybrooke.
"It's... Beautiful" said Belle, stunned by the sight of the small town.
"It really is, isn't it" replied Gold.
"Sometimes I'm glad Evil Queen chose to send us here. After all, there are much worse places we could have ended up. And, this is the place that brought us back together." murmured Bellle, gazing off into the distance. "But, I miss home."
"I know you do dear. We all do." said Gold, wrapping an arm around Belle and pulling her close. "I promise you, we will return. One of these days, we'll go back home."
Belle smiled up at him and Gold gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. Their ride came to an end as they arrived back on the ground. It was beginning to get dark, so the two decided it was time to home.
As they walked through the door to their home, the two headed up to their bedroom, both exhausted from their long day. Then they settled in, curled up in each other's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
