Why am I afraid to feel?
Afraid of what is true?
Why am I afraid to feel?
When all I really want is you?
To taste your skin
To share your thoughts
Would never be enough for me-Stabbing West ward

"Shalimar!" yelled Emma her voice frazzled.

"Coming!" yelled Shalimar laughing.

Jesse looked at her and cocked an eyebrow.

"She's got a date." Shalimar explained "With Puck."

"Oh, the Magic Man." Said Jesse.

"Oh, aren't you clever?" laughed Shalimar.

Brennan looked at Shalimar and Jesse and sighed heavily. They were happy for Emma and he was trying to be. He sat down heavily in an armchair and opened up the book of Dickinson poems Emma had convinced him he should read. He never really realized just how much of his life she affected.

"Here," said Jesse handing him a beer "You look like you could use one of these."

"Thanks," replied Brennan.

"You know, you might as well just tell her that you don't want her to go. You do realize she can feel it?" Jesse asked.

"Feel what?" asked Brennan.

"Don't play dumb with me," exclaimed Jesse "I can see it, Shal can see it, hell I'm sure Adam can see it."

See what? That I'm in love with the one girl I shouldn't be, in love with the one girl who I could literally destroy if things don't work out; He thought.

Emma smiled as Shalimar pulled out the next dress.

"I think this is the one," said Shalimar "God Em, where did you get this?"

"It was my foster mother's, when I turned eighteen and was officially out of the system, she gave me this dress. I used to wear it when me and my foster sister Alexa would play dress up." Said Emma smiling.

"That's a great memory," said Shalimar.

Shalimar knew that memories like that were very few and far between for them.

"Yeah," whispered Emma.

Shalimar patted her on the shoulder.

"Come On Em, let's get you ready," she said smiling.

Emma smiled.

Later In The Day…

"What is she doing?" asked Jesse.

"Fixing her shoe," replied Shalimar "She busted it."

Brennan's heart stopped when she came out of her room. Jesse let out a low whistle.

"Wow…Em…" stammered Jesse.

Her dress was long and a dark shade of sapphire blue; it had very thin straps and was decorated with Chinese butterflies that had been embroidered onto the satin material. Her dark red hair was curly and swept into a messy bun, held in place with chopsticks and a vintage butterfly clip that Shalimar had given her for Christmas the year before.

"Oh," yelled Shalimar "Almost forgot,"

Emma looked at Brennan.

"What's wrong?" she asked concern filling her eyes.

"Nothing," he replied, "I mean you look great."

"Thanks Bren," she replied smiling brightly.

He walked over and kissed her cheek.

"Have fun," he whispered.

As he walked away, Emma was filled with a very different emotion. Usually Brennan would give her a very brotherly hug and smile at her, this was different, and she had only felt like this with some of her better boyfriends.

"Not possible," she whispered.

"What's not possible?" asked Shalimar.

"Its nothing," replied Emma.

"Well, here." Said Shalimar wrapping a shawl around Emma's slim shoulders and attaching a thin silver chain with a butterfly pendant around her neck.

"Thank You Shal," said Emma hugging her tightly.

"Have fun tonight," said Jesse hugging her "And tell Puck if he gets fresh with you…."

Emma laughed.

"Will do jess." She said laughing, "Oh, I better go."

"Have fun sweetie," yelled Shalimar as Emma walked to the garage.

"Don't go saving the world while I'm gone!" yelled Emma.

REVOLUTION!!
