Hello everyone! How did you like the story so far? I apologize for not writing a chapter right away as I have been busy! Alright, so this chapter should be interesting as we will get to find out Dorothy's reason to leave Ruby and Killian. WARNING: the reason that Dorothy will explain may trigger some people. Enjoy the story, readers!

Ruby and Dorothy were just sitting there for good ten minutes until finally, Dorothy pulled herself away from Ruby.

"I am not the kind of person to sugar coat things, but I like beating the bush. I am right in between, more like sugar bush?" Dorothy got confused with herself.

"I totally understand what you're saying. I appreciate you coming up, and wasn't expecting this soon though." Ruby stated.

"Thank you for understanding, and uh, how do I begin to explain this whole thing? I am beyond embarrassed that I reacted that way. It is just…" Dorothy was having a hard time to express.

"Do you want to go somewhere more private than this?" Ruby asked.

Dorothy nodded her head, and said "I know a place. Come with me." Dorothy grabbed Ruby's hand, they got out of the couch, and walked out of the building, still holding hands as they were walking. They walked into the forest next to their dorms. Dorothy smirked as she was moving the branched from several bushes, "We are beating the bushes…and we're just putting some sugar on them," Dorothy leaned for a kiss. Ruby kissed back. "That's the sugar, eh? My favorite kind."

Dorothy laughed, and continued to walk some more. Ruby was really curious where they were going, but didn't want to ask because she liked when Dorothy was taking the lead. Ruby was weak on her knees when Dorothy turned to check if Ruby was still behind her. Dorothy's way of smiling, her lips, her eyes, and the way her skin moved when she was smirking. The edges of her lips bit into her teeth. Ruby was falling in love even more especially in the woods.

"There we are!" Dorothy cheered. Staring at the picket fence and the gazebo, the view was beyond beautiful in the background, the clouds were nowhere in sight into the autumn sunset. The mist of the air was enhancing more colors onto the trees that looked like it was a painting of Monet or Van Gogh. Under the harvest moon, you could see the trees' reflection to make it even more beautiful.

"Uhhh. Where are we?" Ruby was utterly confused and speechless as they were walking into the gazebo to look at the better view of the mountains.

"Look around you, babe. Isn't this a beauty!?" Dorothy laughed. Ruby had not heard that laugh since they last saw each other when they were kids. Ruby placed her right hand on Dorothy's neck to pull Dorothy in closer. Dorothy wrapped her right arm around Ruby's waist. Their lips met once again. They began to invite their tongue in each other's mouth. Ruby could taste Dorothy's hot chocolate, while Dorothy could taste the green tea. They got closer. Dorothy slid her hand onto Ruby's ass so she could massage and squeeze it. Ruby got more turn on when Dorothy touched the ass of hers. Ruby began to caress Dorothy's back slowly. She could hear Dorothy's breathing stop as she was caressing her back. She placed her lips on Dorothy's neck to gently bite it and kiss it. Her skin was so smooth and soft that she wanted to bite it harder. Ruby got even more wet when Dorothy's hip got closer to Ruby's pubic bone.

Ruby tapped her index finger on Dorothy's lower back to get her attention, Dorothy opened her eyes to see what Ruby wanted to say. Ruby saw something behind Dorothy, it was a lake.

Perfect, I am going to make love in the lake.

"Hmm?" Dorothy asked.

"I am glad it's you that I am making love to. You are looking beautiful tonight for some reason and I am really lucky I am looking at you." Ruby said.

"Me too." Dorothy smiled.

"You're full of it, aren't you?"

"I meant, I am glad it's you too, smart ass." Dorothy laughed. Ruby grabbed Dorothy's hand, "come and follow me." Then Ruby began to take her shoes, socks, shirt and pants off. Her bra and her underwear was still on her.

"Oh, we're getting our freak on here? I find that sexy." Dorothy raised her eyebrows. She began to take her shoes, socks, shirt and pants off. She kissed Ruby's chest and then her neck, she used her tongue to push the pressure on the neck. Dorothy grabbed Ruby's bra and unhook it, she placed it on the ground and went back to Ruby's neck then she put her hands to squeeze the breasts. She could feel Ruby's breathing stop and she opened her eyes to see what Ruby's expression looked like. She seemed to be enjoying the feelings that Dorothy was giving her. She never looked so beautiful especially under the moonlight. She continued to kissing Ruby's neck and then she began to kneel her way to kiss Ruby's abdominal sides to the hips to kissing Ruby's underwear.

"Please fuck me" Ruby signed.

"Are you sure?" Dorothy asked.

"Yes, I am positive, just do it please." Ruby whimpered.

Dorothy took Ruby's underwear down slowly, and Ruby began sit down on the rock to put her legs on Dorothy's shoulder to let Dorothy to go in her. Ruby started to gasp when Dorothy's tongue met her clitoris and Dorothy was sucking it softly, moving her tongue into circular motion to create the rhythm. Dorothy put her middle finger into Ruby's vagina. Ruby caressed Dorothy's head and grabbed her hair to let her know that she was going to come anytime soon. Ruby's legs squeezed in and one last touch, Ruby got an orgasm. Dorothy kissed Ruby's thigh and her hips.

"I will miss you, sweet one." As she was pulling Ruby's underwear back on. Dorothy got up, and sat next to Ruby, gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh my god, that was just the best I've ever had and this place definitely sets the bar high. Will this be our place to do it? I am glad we were able to finish the business here than having your witchy roommate around."

"Don't remind me about Zelena and we can make this our place, as not everyone knows about this..." Dorothy groaned. "Let's go in the water?" Dorothy smirked.

"Let's go!" Ruby laughed. Ruby ran to the deck and jumped into the water.

"Whoo! That felt good! Come on and jump!" Ruby claimed. Dorothy dove into the water. Ruby was laughing and laughing until she realized that Dorothy hadn't make it back onto the surface. Ruby was beginning to think if she should dive into the lake and look for her.

Something grabbed Ruby's hip and it startled Ruby.

"Hello there, sweet one!" Dorothy giggled.

"You mischevious one. I thought I'd lost you for a split of a second there."

"You won't lose me." Dorothy grinned.

"That's true.. I won't ever lose you." Ruby turned around and gave her a kiss. "You're amazing."

"Thank you, you aren't bad yourself." Dorothy chuckled. Dorothy pulled herself up to get on the deck in order to sit.

"I am sorry that I freaked out on you and your friend last night. It was just that…" Dorothy looked down into the water to realize Ruby was looking up to Dorothy in the water, still listening. It was something that Dorothy forgot about Ruby.

She was a great listener because she was able to focus on you and she could understand whatever you were going through. Even though she has never experience whatever you've gone through. She still understands and would find the right words to make you smile. That was when I knew I was going to tell her the whole story. She deserves it. Dorothy thought to herself

"My dad kept following us after my mom left him. He was hunting for us. He kept bothering every friend that my mom had. He even called each friend of mine and Neal's. It was so crazy. He even hired private investigators. Anything you name, he did it all. He even gave each friend of ours a threat that he'd kill them if they didn't tell him where we were. Good enough, one of my friends, Alli, her father was a cop, so Alli had no problem telling her father what was going on. I was telling her that I had to move away and it was the best for her not to know why. She sort of suspected it had to do with my dad, that was why she had no problem telling her dad. It was some kind of verification for her that I finally got out of a bad situation, so Alli's father answered one of the phone calls. He decided to tell him that he knew where my mom was but couldn't tell over the phone since the government was also watching him. It was completely a lie but he had to make sure he was on my father's side. So, they agreed to meet somewhere where he could have a backup in case if something happens. So, they met, Alli's dad didn't realize he was in a trap. My father trapped him really fucking good. He outsmarted that cop. Destroyed the surveillance cameras around that area. He kidnapped Alli's father by punching him so hard in an area that you black out easily. My father made sure Alli's dad did not have anything on him. Alli had a terrible feeling that her father went missing, and went looking for me to tell me that she had a feeling that my father had him. You could not believe what my mom's face when she found out that her ex-husband would have someone just because he wanted to know where his family was. She was scared for her life and for our lives. We couldn't look at the world the same because there were evil people out there."

"Oh my god, is Alli's father still alive?" Ruby was concerned.

"Oh yes, very much alive. He had a tracker on him that he knew my father would never look into. He was so against gay people so what areas he wouldn't look?"

"Oh, he put the tracker on the penis area?" Ruby answered the question.

"Right, smart area to put the tracker in. So, luckily within an hour of his disappearance, the cops arrested my dad and put him in prison for many reasons. He will be going to face his death in 2020."

"Holy fucking moly."

"Not to mention, we found out why we had to move out of New York. He sexually harassed his co-workers and his boss. His boss threated him to get fired or quit. So, he quit his job because he cared about his reputation. When we moved away, the boss didn't show up to work since. No one has not heard from her."

"What!? He killed her?"

"I don't know, the lawyers flew to California to ask him questions while he was handcuffed, good idea, right? So, when the lawyer asked if he knew where his former boss was….do you know what his answer was?"

"What?"

"Nothing, he just laughed."

"What?! No way."

"Yeah, so, when your friend said "is this THE Dorothy Gale?" It just freaked me out right there. I knew he was drunk and he didn't mean to. I should not have taken it out on you especially the fact that you had no idea why. Oh, that poor Killian, was he okay when I stormed out?"

"No, yeah, he was okay, he had other things on his mind, but wow, I didn't realize your father was that bad. I am sorry that Killian and I did that."

"No, no. Don't be sorry. You guys didn't know at all. It was something that I didn't really talk about. My therapist tells me it is okay to talk about it as it is good for the soul."

"I am glad you are able to share this with me," Ruby got up to sit next to Dorothy on the edge of the deck. She placed her arms around Dorothy. It was a nice night to step up a new level in this relationship between Ruby and Dorothy.

"The more you sign to me, the more you get beautiful." Ruby said, "I just love the way you sign, and the way you express yourself. I mean, we have not seen each other for years, but I am very lucky to know you as Dorothy Angela Gale. I have something to ask you and it is a rare kind of offer, in my honest opinion. It is probably something you cannot refuse. I can't assume." Ruby smirked.

Dorothy kept on smiling as Ruby was saying cheesy things. That was one of the things that Ruby was great at. Knowing what to say.

"I am intrigued to see what you have to offer, Ruby Accalia Lucas." Dorothy and Ruby smiled the fact that both of them remembered the middle names.

"Will you go out on a date with me?" Ruby closed her eyes as she asked the question.

Dorothy squinted her eyes and nudged Ruby.

"How come your eyes are closed?"

"I am not sure what your reaction would be…." Ruby began to be shyer than before. It seemed like it wasn't her thing to ask a woman out on a date. Especially if it was on the edge of the lake deck under the moonlight.

"First of all, let me ask you something before I answer your question." Dorothy asked in a sheepishly way. Ruby bit her lips trying not to smile, as she knew Dorothy was going to ask her something rhetorical.

"What?"

"Did we just have sex?" Dorothy asked.

"Yes, obviously…." Ruby was confused why she asked that question.

"There you go, that's the answer to your question. Yes, obviously, I would love to go out on a date with you!"

"Oh, good grief, you and your way with the questions…" Ruby laughed, she knew what she was signing up for if she was asking the woman of her dreams on a date.

Dorothy got up, and placed her hand on Ruby's shoulder, "Are we ready to go back on campus?"

"Ay, you're such a buzz kill. Thanks for the reality check." Ruby rolled her eyes and laughed as she was getting up too. Both walked back to the shore to get their clothes back on.

Dorothy scanned Ruby head to toe with clothes on.

"Damn, I miss you being naked already, one of the parts about you that I love is your hips. Good thing it's covered because I'd be fucking you hard right now." Dorothy pouted knowing they both need to go back on campus.

"Well, you had me at 'fucking you hard now'." Ruby was in heaven.

"Good thing we are turned on right now and leaving now because we'd need to come back wanting more of each other, eh?" Dorothy giggled.

"Smart idea. Seriously, stop dragging. Let's go!" Ruby took Dorothy's hand to lead the way back to the dorms. As soon as they got to the quad in front of the dorms, they saw Professor Mills walking out of the dorm building.

"Hello Ruby!" Professor Mills waved. Ruby and Dorothy waved back.

"Hey, Professor." Ruby was signing and using her voice at the same time to make sure Dorothy was included in the conversation.

"How is it going? Beautiful night, right?" Professor was looking at Dorothy as Ruby was signing what she had to say in order to see Dorothy's reaction.

"Yeah, it is a beautiful night, I completely agree with you. I am Dorothy." Dorothy smiled.

"Nice to see that you're a nature soul, Dorothy. I am Professor Mills. Nice to meet you!" Professor had her hand out to shake Dorothy's hand. They both shook.

"Oh, you're firm. You're going to places," Professor winked, and that made Ruby feel a little relieved that the professor was being friendly to everyone. The fact that Professor's signature move is winking at everyone.

"Alright, good to see you, Ruby. I am going to take off. See you tomorrow in class! Oh, Dorothy," Professor signed "It is very nice meeting you, and I hope to see you around campus!" "You too! Good night." Dorothy got so excited that a hearing person was signing fluently other than Ruby. Professor just left into the parking lot.

"Well, that was a surprise….not really because everyone should know at least a couple of signs around here, right?" Ruby chuckled.

"Yeah, definitely but who was that though?" Dorothy was puzzled.

"One of my professors. That's how I met Killian. From that class." Ruby solved the puzzle for Dorothy.

"But what was she doing here? She was here last night and now she was here tonight." Ruby was confused.

"You and your theories. Don't overthink." Dorothy laughed.

"Yeah, you're right, I shouldn't overthink. I mean, she had a bag of food, so she was probably coming from the Underground Market, yeah, she was probably food shopping as ive heard that people who work for the university gets a discount for each purchase." Ruby was mumbling to herself.

"And then Ruby went down into the abyss! Earth to Ruby!" Dorothy kissed Ruby's cheek. "I am glad I've met you again."

They both walked up to the stairs to third floor to drop Dorothy off.

"Good night, Du. I will text you the details for the date tomorrow, okay?" Ruby smiled.

"Looking forward for the text, Ru. Good night." Dorothy leaned for a kiss. "I miss you already." She said as she opened her door. Gave Ruby a wink then the door was closing.

Ruby walked upstairs to the 10th floor. Smiling at the fact that she and Dorothy were finally reunited. She felt a great amount of relief in her heart. She was feeling the warmth inside her soul. She knew that was Granny.

Ruby opened the door to go in her room, and Belle was in her pajamas doing her homework on her desk.

"Hey there, Demi Carmella."

"Hi there, Bi Pearls, how was the talk?" Belle looked up to see Ruby smiling as she closed the door behind her, "seemed like you both made it up." She smirked.

"We both definitely made it up. It was worth it." Ruby was glowing.

"I am glad that it all worked out!" Belle giggled, "You just missed Marian, she was just here, dropping by to say hello and of course, we kissed too. Do you want to get together tomorrow night, maybe like a double date?" Belle asked.

"Can we take a raincheck?" Ruby pouted, "I just asked Dorothy out on a date. We are planning to go out tomorrow night. How about lunch tomorrow, though?"

"Marian has a meeting during lunch time, so she is only available on weeknights and weekends. She is a busy woman, that is for sure. It's okay, I am definitely taking that raincheck though!" Belle smiled. "How did you ask her out!? Spill the beans, bitch." Belle closed her book and was ready for some details that Ruby was going to give until there was a knock on the door.

Ruby was hoping it was Dorothy and Belle was confused who would be knocking at this hour of the night.

"I'll get it." Belle claimed. She walked to the door and then opened the door to see it was Killian.

"Hi, there. Ruby, this is for you." Belle pointed at Ruby then pointed at Killian.

"No, I am not here for Ruby, I am here for you, Belle." Killian signed.

"Oh, he isn't here for me. He's here for you." Ruby just interpret what Killian signed.

"Alright, what's up?" Belle wondered.

Killian showed his phone to Belle, "Can we talk privately?"

Belle was confused and nodded her head. She pointed at Killian's phone to ask him if she could use his phone to type something. Killian handed his phone to her. Belle began to type.

"I'll be going to tell her how I feel." Killian signed fast to Ruby while Belle was typing on his phone.

"Good luck. Don't keep your hopes high, okay?" Ruby couldn't say anything more than that.

Belle handed back his phone: DO I NEED TO BE DRESSED?

Killian smiled and shook his head. He pointed outside of the door and gave her thumbs up. Belle smiled and was relieved that she didn't have to change clothes. She was too comfortable to change into her fancy clothes. Both went outside and closed the door.

Ruby began to lay down on her bed, and took her phone out of her jacket pocket.

Ruby: Hey, Wahoo's tomorrow night? Let's say at 6? Miss you already. Xx

Ruby put her phone down on the nightstand and the phone vibrated. She picked it up to see Dorothy's text.

Dorothy: Yes, I am looking forward to it! 6 sounds very nice, just need to have the 9 with it! LOL. ;) See you tomorrow xxx

Ruby laughed at the text quietly and she knew she was going to sleep very good tonight.
