Emma sighed and went to answer the door. She was still a little shaken up from the recent phone call from Sean, so she took her time to get to the door. She was home alone, since Spike had just left with Jack, and Snake was still at school.

She swung open the door and nearly died when she saw who it was.

"Sean. Oh my God!" She screamed and went to hug him. It was something she needed to do, and it just felt like it was the right thing to do. Especially after the past two months.

"Hey, Emma. I just wanted to come over and see ya. The phone thing was kinda dumb." Sean let out a laugh, but inside he was so happy that not even a laugh could show how he felt. It had been so long since he'd seen Emma, he was amazed at how beautiful she had become. It was like she had found an inner strength and let it make her shine.

"Not really. It's great that you're back. I mean, yeah, we wrote all those letters but it just wasn't the same. I mean, it's really nice to get to hear your voice and see your face. I missed you." Emma said, meaning every single word that came out of her mouth. She had really missed Sean. He was like a part of her, and it was what had compelled her to write her first letter. And it's what kept her writing.

"I missed you too." Sean simply said. He wasn't sure if he would be able to get all of what he was feeling into words. So it was better, he thought, that he didn't try. Emma would know. She always knew.

"So, do you want to come in?" Emma asked, realizing that they were standing in the doorway.

"Not really. I just wanted to see if you wanted to go somewhere with me. Just for about thirty minutes or something." Sean said, taking a step back.

"Uh, yeah, sure. Just let me leave my parents a note so that they know where I am. You know how they get sometimes." Emma said and rushed into the house. She quickly found a piece of paper and scrawled a quick note on it. Then she walked out the door, locking it behind her.

"Well, let's go." She said. She couldn't help but wonder what Sean was planning for them.

"Okay." Was all Sean said. It was all he said the whole way there. But Emma was happy with the silence. She just wanted to revel in the happiness of just being in his company again. Even if sometimes it wasn't such a good thing. But today it was. Today they were together.

"We're here." Sean said and Emma finally looked around them. They were at the tree where they had shared their first kiss. Where they had danced the day of her mother's wedding.

"Sean...it's perfect. It's still the same." Emma said. For once she was at a loss for words. It was the most perfect thing that Sean could have done, and she knew that he knew that was how she felt.

"I just wanted us to be somewhere familiar. Somewhere that was special...to both of us." Sean said and reached out to take her hand. Emma let him take it and pull her closer.

Sean smiled and looked right into Emma's eyes. He wanted to say something, but nothing was coming to mind. The only thing he knew right then was Emma.

"So, why aren't you dancing?" Sean said, remembering those words from years gone by.

"No one caught my eye." Emma said, remembering as well.

"How 'bout now?" Sean said and began to dance with her.

Emma smiled as she remembered how this had been the beginning of their first love.

Now they both knew, it was going to be the begining of their forever love.
