Daxx04: Prompt: Emma takes Killian to the movie theatre for the first time.

A/N: I hope you do realize I couldn't resist the movie choice right?


"Swan, what is this place?" Killian asked as Emma pulled into the parking lot of the movie theater in the town.

"It's called a movie theater, Killian. You've seen those movies at the apartment. Well this is where people watch them for the first time. When movies get released, they are first released to a theater where people pay way too much money to see it on a huge screen. The movies are in theaters for a few months then get released to DVDs which is how we watch them at home. I wanted to see this one; it's supposed to be really good." Emma replied as they headed up.

"Alright Swan. What movie are we seeing then?"

"It's called Frozen."

Emma then purchased the two tickets and took Killian's hand to lead him to the ticket ripper who proceeded to point them in the direction of their theater. After first stopping to buy popcorn, candy and drinks, Emma and Killian headed in to the theater numbered 15 as the ripper had indicated. She proceeded to take Killian all the way to the back of the theater to the very last aisle and get comfortable.

Soon the lights dimmed and a folksy Norwegian chant began playing as Emma and Killian watched animated snowflakes fill the screen.

"I must say, it's got great music already." Killian whispered as the ice cutters were introduced with their song. This was something Emma had noticed was an interest of his. She didn't know how many soundtracks she found him listening to or looking up online. No matter what they were watching, she always noticed his ears and interest peak up once the instrumentals were really added in. Naturally his favorite was the background songs to the pirates of the Caribbean movies. Not only did he like the movie, but he loved the upbeat songs that came with the series.

Emma only nodded and leaned in against Killian, reaching her hand across their laps to twine her fingers with his right hand as his left arm went around her shoulders to hold her close. They watched as two little girls were introduced when suddenly the pale blonde one seemed familiar. There was something about the little girl's magic and demeanor that Emma just couldn't quite put her finger on.

They watched as the two girls played and tragedy strike, causing the family to seek advice from rock trolls. It wasn't until the middle of the second song, do you want to build a snowman, when it suddenly dawned on Emma.

"Is that? No. Killian, I think Elsa and Anna have their own Disney movie now. Doesn't that look like them?" She asked softly.

"Aye I think so."

Her heart went out for her dear friend as she watched the parents depart and be taken by a sea storm. She almost teared up as Anna asked her sister to be with her in this dark time, but Elsa was too afraid of her powers to join them. Emma curled up closer to Killian at that point, gratefulness to having her family and loved ones here with her coursing through her body.

They watched as Anna and Elsa both prepared for Elsa's coronation in their different mannerisms, mannerisms that were as familiar to the couple as Elsa and Anna were some of their closes friends. As the scenes unfolded and Hans arrived, Killian immediately stiffened.

"I don't trust him. There's something about him that rubs me the wrong way."

Emma nodded, "I don't remember many mentions of a Hans from Elsa or Anna."

As Emma and Killian watched Elsa lose control of her powers and run off in fear, Killian recognized the same situation that Emma herself went through just a few weeks and knew that his love recognized it as well. He pulled her close and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before whispering softly into her hairline.

"You both have been through so much and are so much stronger for it."

Emma snuggled up and squeezed his hand softly as they watched Anna race off and encounter Kristoff in her search for Elsa. Emma smiled as she watched what she assumed was a just representation of the couple's beginning. Just like so many of the couples in this town, it started rocky. Clearly not love at first sight. But Emma and Killian watched as they worked together with a reindeer and a childlike talking snowman to travel the mountain and on their way to where Elsa resided. They enjoyed watching the lighter scenes with Olaf and the heart warming and then wrenching scenes with Elsa and Anna. When Elsa summoned Marshmallow, her snow monster guardian, both Emma and Killian smiled at the memory of the real life version they themselves had to face off when Elsa first arrived.

They watched as Anna and Kristoff race towards someone to help Anna as the cold and white streak take over her body. Emma held Killian close, the not too distant memory of a very similar thing happening to Killian before he managed to break that curse as well as the snow queen's mirror curse when he threw himself in front of Emma and Henry when they were almost taken out by an off path fire ball.

"I'm right here love. I'm safe, we're okay. I'm right here. It's alright." Killian whispered, feeling Emma tense up. She relaxed once again, feeling the tension release as she watched the trolls rope Kristoff and Anna in to a surprise wedding humorously before the grand pabbie troll advised Kristoff to take her to Arendelle where they believed Anna's true love resided so she could be saved by an act of true love.

As the movie progressed and Anna was taken to Hans side and left Kristoff, Killian couldn't help but wonder just how Anna made it through to where she was today.

"Oh Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you."

Emma literally had to jump on top of her pirate boyfriend to keep him from screaming, jumping out and threatening the white screen that the movie was projected on. She had to give him soft kisses on the cheek and temple to soothe him as he continued to grumble about being right about scum princes and their false words.

"Hey we know for a fact she's okay. Calm down." She whispered before sliding back into her chair to watch the rest of the movie, a firm grip on his arm. The couple watched as Olaf ended up coming to save the day for Anna and then climatic scenes between the main characters on the frozen tundra that used to be the fjords. Emma gasped as Anna threw herself in front of Hans before he could hurt Elsa, once again remembering Killian's own sacrifice.

The rest of the movie played quickly, but Emma barely registered it, not getting up until Killian nudged her with his hand and whispered in her ear.

"Are you alright, love? You seem far off." He asked softly as they finally began making their way out of the theater and out of the cinema complex towards her car.

"It's just I knew when I met Elsa that she was like me but I never knew how much until tonight. It makes me appreciate my friend so much more, but it also makes me appreciate all my loved ones. Some of those scenes hit a little too close to home at this point." She responded quietly, her thoughts coloring her tone. Shaking her head of her more depressing thoughts, Emma turned back to Killian, "I'm sorry. I wanted to take you to a nice movie for a fun night. I didn't mean to turn all melancholy on you." She said with a smile.

"Oh that's quite alright love. This was a fun night and it isn't over. Let's go home, Swan. Perhaps some coffee will help finish the night." Killian smirked, his eyes glittering with mischief.
