I know I know! It's been years!! And I've missed you all! So here's the next chapter, hope you guys enjoy it, and please don't stone me! Thanks! ;)

"So they never see you off when you leave?" Emma asked.

"No. Well actually I saw my dad looking out the window when I left the reunion about 4 years ago."

"That's hardly a send off Shal. But anyway. How did the fitting go?" Emma asked. Realizing she wasn't wearing her seatbelt she reached up and pulled it down.

"It was purple." Shalimar answered.

"What do you it was purple?" She clicked the strap in and turned in her seat.

"My fabric, for my dress. It's purple. And frilly, and she's only doing that because she hates me!"

"Well just because it's purple and she hates you doesn't mean you won't look beautiful any way. I'm sure you'll look better in that dress than she will in hers." Emma said leaning over and leaving a kiss on Shalimars cheek. Emma smiled as she watched the feral turn a few shades more pink and fidget in her seat.

"That's sweet baby. But no matter how beautiful you say I am, I highly doubt I can pull off a purple dress."

"Well if it makes you feel better, I'll wear a purple dress too." Emma smiled as Shalimar chuckled. She looked out the window and realized that she had no idea where she was. This highway looked completely different than the one they had take to get there.

"Shal where are we?"

"We're taking a shortcut.

"There was a shortcut? Why didn't we take it on the way to your house?!"

"Do you really think I wanted to get there any sooner? I'd much rather be driving in the car with you next to me for an extra 2 hours."

Emma couldn't help but blush. She felt so flustered she didn't know what to say next. So Shalimar just held her hand and planted a small kiss on her palm.

"I love you Em." Shalimar whispered glancing at her.

"I love you too Shal." Emma whispered back. Shalimar slowed down a little as she reached for the dashboard. Opening it she pulled out a small red velvet box.

"Happy Anniversary." Shalimar smiled. Emma couldn't believe her eyes.

"You thought I forgot didn't you?" Shal smirked.

"No! Well...I. I...just thought with everything going on and...well.."-

"Just open it."

Emma took the little box in her hand and opened the cover. Her eyes wide with surprise. "Shal! It's! Oh my god it's so...It's beautiful!!!" She squealed turning in her seat.

"Well I'm glad you like it." Shal smiled again.

"Like it? I love it!! I can't believe you did this." Emma said leaning in and giving Shalimar a kiss on the cheek. Clearly not satisfied, the feral slowed the car to a stop and pulled Emma in for a real kiss. And then, as if in slow motion, Shalimar felt Emma's lips being ripped away from hers. The car was flying in the air. She saw Emma's head crash into the side window shattering the glass before her own had smashed into the steering wheel. Everything was spinning out control. The car landed upside down and skid 30 feet before coming to a stop.

Shalimar felt pain surging all throughout her body. She felt for her seatbelt and released it falling onto the ceiling. She moaned with pain and tried to pick herself up.

"Emma? Baby are you okay?" She cried. "Em? Emma baby talk to me!" Shalimar didn't get a response and tears welled up in her eyes as she felt herself begin to panic.
