Solar surfing
Jade Star asked for a oneshot of Snowing watching Jim Hawkins (from Treasure Planet) teaching Emma how to solar surf.
Pooky: I'm glad you enjoy the story, but I'm sure I already left you a note about that request a few chapters ago.
As usual, if you have a request from tonight's episode, great! All I ask is that you give me a spoiler warning before the request. Happy Once day, everyone!
"You sure you haven't done this before?" Jim asked Emma. "You seem like you've been on a few solar surfs." Emma grinned.
"Well, we have a version of surfing in this realm that takes place in water. I was staying in a city called Birmingham in another place called Alabama. A group of us took a trip to a city called Miami in a place called Florida to learn. That was a good week." Emma said with a fond smile.
Snow and Charming were watching the lesson from a nearby bench.
"She seems pretty good at that." Snow commented proudly. "She'll be zooming about on that thing in no time. Soon she'll have you on one and there'll be no need for the cruiser." Snow teased him. Charming grimaced.
"That'll be right." He replied. "Although it's nice to see Emma so…carefree. It's been ages since I've seen her look so happy." Snow made a noise of agreement, snuggling into Charming. He was right. It was nice seeing Emma laughing away, enjoying the novelty of the hovering surfboard. They just hoped this carefree side of Emma would last long. It had been far too long since they'd seen her smile so broadly.
"I just hope they stick to the area of the park. Not sure how I feel about her going about on that thing without so much as a helmet. Let alone elbow and kneepads." Snow said with a grimace. Charming laughed, wrapping an arm around Snow's shoulders and pulling her closer.
"I'm sure if they leave you'll be more than happy to chase after them. I'm sure Emma would love that." He said sarcastically. Snow rolled her eyes playfully, continuing to watch Emma's lesson. Maybe she would subtly get her a bike helmet for Christmas.
