I wake up, again, to Mom bustling around my room. She pulls out an outfit, and lays in on my bed.
"Oh, Hadie, you're awake." Mom says, beaming.
"Yep." I reply, rubbing my eyes.
"Get dressed, then I'll do your hair." Mom says, leaving. I get the dress on the edge of my bed, and put it on. I put on the shoes, and I put on the earrings, and look at myself in the mirror.
"Hey, Mom doesn't have a totally vintage fashion sense." I say as Mom walks in. She rolls her eyes playfully, and tries to do my hair. I simply change my wavy hair into loose curls.
"There's that, too." Mom mutters. I laugh. Dad pops his head into the room.
"Some foolish mortal decided to come visit my daughter," he spits out. I stifle a giggle.
"Is he handsome? And a pirate?" I ask. Dad rolls his eyes.
"How did you know?" Dad asks.
"'Cause who else would randomly show up in the underworld?"
"Uh, Mal, your mother, you, your friends… I could go on." Dad says.
"Well, I'm going to see Dreamy." I announce as I leave the room. I see Harry running his hand over the bumpy rock walls of the underworld. "Hey, who's that handsome pirate?" I ask, leaning on the wall.
"Who's that beautiful goddess?" Harry asks, walking closer to me.
"Your girlfriend." I respond.
"This hottie is my girlfriend?" Harry asks. I blush.
"'Course, Handsome." Harry pulls me in for a hug.
"Gosh, your drop-dead gorgeous, Honey bunny." Harry mutters. I smile and the blush creeps up my cheeks again. "I love you."
"I love you, too." I wrap my arms around his neck. Harry gives me a small peck on the lips.
"You have my heart." Harry says.
"I know, and you have mine." I reply. We sit there for a few seconds, just looking at each other. "Harry?" I ask.
"Yes, sunshine?"
"Uh, why are you acting weird today?"
"Uhm, nothing!" Harry says a little too quickly.
"Does it have anything to do with the thing you aren't telling me?" I ask. Harry's eyes widen in shock.
"Uh, uh, no." he says with a nervous laugh. I roll my eyes, and give him a look. "Okay, sassy, I won't tell you." Harry says.
"Please?" I ask, using my puppy dog eyes that usually make him melt. This time, however, his eyes stay steely.
"My little adorable girlfriend, I already told you I wouldn't tell you."
"But, Hook boy…" I whine.
"Lil flame…" Harry whines back.
"Why won't you tell me?"
"Because… I won't. I promise to tell you on our date tomorrow." Harry says, messing up my hair. I scowl and fix it.
"We have a date tomorrow?" I ask.
"Yeah, my first ever tourney game. It's a wee boys game, and I'll show 'em how to play." Harry says, raising his hook.
"Ah. No. Lower the hook." I scold.
"But Snuggle Bug, you don't get it." Harry whines.
"Only I do get it." I say. Mom and Dad come out of my room, smirking. I grab Harry's hand and teleport us up to my graduation. "I have to go to the back, I'll see you in a bit." I say, giving Harry a quick kiss. He holds my hand until I'm out of his reach, then he lets go. I get to the back, and see Nanny in a bright, baby blue dress.
"Okay, when everyone gets here, you will walk in from outside, all the way to the stage. King Beast and Queen Belle will hand you your diploma, and you will walk off stage to the left." Nanny explains. I nod and wait patiently. Once she ushers me out to the back, I wait for the queue to walk in. Some violin player starts to play their violin, and I walk in. I smile and wave to everyone. I spot Mal and Ben in the first row.
As I pass, I smile and say, "Hi," before continuing to walk. I walk on stage, and get my diploma. I smile at Belle and Beast.
"Great job, Hadie." Belle says with a smile as she hands me my diploma.
"Thank you." I say, shaking her hand.
"You're welcome." Belle says.
"Great job. Congrats." Beast says, shaking my hand.
"Thanks, Beast." I say with a small nod.
"You're welcome." Beast says. I exit to the left of the stage, like I was told to. I take off my cap and gown, and turn around. As soon as I turn around, I'm tackled in hugs from my friends.
"Great job, Salty french fry." Harry says, holding me closer.
"Thanks, Hook boy."
"That's my sister! Whoo!" Mal yells.
"My bestie already graduated!" Evie says overentuiastically.
"I knew you could do it!" Jay shouts lifting me up above everyone. I slap him and he puts me down.
"Yay! Hadie is the awesomest college graduate I know!" Gil says. I chuckle at him.
"I can't believe she did it!" Audrey exclaims, clapping her hands twice.
"Our lil Hadie!" Uma exclaims. "She's all grown up." Uma fakes wiping a tear as she turns to my parents.
"She really is, huh?" Dad says. I turn to Mom who's crying. My eyes soften at the sight of her.
"Ma, what's wrong?" I ask.
"You're all grown up." Mom sobs. I just roll my eyes and continue to watch as my friends get excited about me graduating. I smile at them, then I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn and face both Carlos and Jane, who both shift awkwardly. Harry puts an arm around my waist, protecting me. I pry his arm off, and very reluctantly, he lets go.
"What do you want?" I ask the couple.
"Uh… we- we just-" Jane starts.
"We wanted to apologise." Carlos interrupts. I raise an eyebrow. "We had avoided you because we thought we couldn't trust you, but now we both see it took a lot of courage to do that."
"He's right." Jane says.
"You're a sweet talker, Carlos, but she's already made up her mind." Harry says. I glare at him.
"And how do you know that?"
"I guessed, blue." Harry admits, blushing slightly.
"I know." I reply. I turn back to Jane and Carlos. "Apology accepted. Don't mind Dream Boat over there." Jane laughs.
"No, Dream boat is right here." Jane says, pointing to Carlos. I snort.
"Sure." I say sarcastically. Harry comes up from behind me.
"Did you say I was dreamy, wonderful?"
"Yeah." I respond. Harry rolls his eyes at me. "You're lucky I love you." I mutter. Harry smirks.
"Yeah, you've always loved me, so I'll always be lucky." I glare at him.
"Not always, Hook boy." I counter. I lightly shove him in the opposite direction. He immediately comes and hugs me. Harry checks his phone, and turns back to me.
"Tourney practice," he says. I nod.
"I might come and watch your practice." I reply.
"Okay, see you, angel face." Harry says, walking away. I smile at him, and my friends all decided to go to Mount Olympus while I was distracted.
A/N: Disclaimer: this author's note has nothing to do with this story. So, I was watching Once Upon A Time, aka my new favrite TV show, and I'm only on S1 E18. But, seriously, why on Earth does everyone work for Regina? Like, even Gold does, and he hates Regina. It's driving me INSANEEEE! More insane than the Mad Hatter, or Jefferson, and that's saying something. I'm super mad about it. I'm literally going to murder someone if Mary Margret stays in jail. Or I'm going to cry. Yeah, I'll probably cry. I'm about to scream my head off at her, but I can't because I want to see Hades and Capt. Hook so I have to wait. I just- I just wanna let Regina know how much I hate her, but it makes sense that she's Evie's mom, and now this is complicated. Have a great day, and, please, don't mind my rambling.
