A/N: Happy Birthday TheEvilQueenie!


As the curtains closed Roland's grip on his best mate's hand tightened, the two smiling widely as if they performed for royalty.

"That was so cool!" Austin shrieked

"I know!" Roland shrieked back nodding his head in agreement.

"Excellent job class!" Their teacher cried, "Wonderful, now let's all go see our families and enjoy some snack and drinks." She added making her class cheer in cute "Woohoos!"

"You gotta meet Gina, she's so cool, I think my daddy likes her a lot." Roland said leading the duo to the next room.

"Ew." Austin said scrunching his nose making the two boys giggle.

"Ishe's cool, she rescued me when I drowned."

"Oh yeah that was crazy." Austin said looking at his friend sadly, the pair stopped by a table to grab cookies and some milk then finally found their families.

"You did so great." Ella said kissing the boy on his cheek, then handed him some balloons.

"Wow, thanks Cece!" Roland said squeezing his sister lovingly

"Oh Gina!" Roland said, he let go of his sister and scanned their little group till his eyes locked onto her, he raced to her and grabbed her hand pulling her towards Austin. Regina chuckled seeing his determination but followed. Roland stopped in front of Austin and Liam with Regina.

"Hey! This is her!" Roland said pointing to his "Gina"

"She does look cool!" Austin said high fiving his best friend the two began to giggle, while the rest of the families watched in amusement.

"Gina, do you like Roland's daddy a lot?" Austin asked, earning laughter between the families, and reddened cheeks on Regina and Robin.


Ella stood in her new art gallery, it was like a breath of fresh air every time she stepped in, one was partly because she wanted the gallery to feel connected to nature so the huge retractable glass as part of the ceiling was absolutely necessary to allow fresh air from time to time. And second all the plants that were in the gallery purified the air, she absolutely loved it.

"It's really beautiful." Tiff said placing her arm around the young girl's shoulders.

"Thanks". Ella said sighing leaning into Tiffany.

"So, about the decision I asked about earlier." Tiff began

"Oh shit!" Ella said with wide eyes, "I totally forgot, I know you wanted me to come with you and open up the gallery in Hawai'i but I just got so carried away with this and-"

"It's alright Ella." Tiff said, she turned to her and looked straight into her eyes

"I'm serious it's absolutely fine, it was just an option, but I can see how much you love this place and your family." Tiff said kissing her forehead. Ella nodded and smiled, relieved that this conversation went quite well.

"Thanks for understanding Tiff, I will definitely be there for everything and anything, I will be on the next plane." Ella said

"I know, that's why I love you." Tiff said, "Now you enjoy the preparations before your big show in a couple of months, who knows maybe I'll even fly in." Tiff said winking, they both shared their fair share of tears as they hugged each other till the wedding.


Robin insisted that their next date be at night again, the ice cream date went all too perfect. He decided that they would take a 3 hour flight to Pennsylvania and have dinner on the plane with a private chef he hoped she liked, then a driver would take them to Cherry Springs state park where there was the best star gazing on the East coast. There they would be dropped off, a pick-up truck with a lot of comfortable blankets and pillows would await them. He may have gone overboard with another gift for her, but he had gotten her a star. He hadn't told her about his plans.

He messed with his tie for his joggers for the sixth time, he told Regina that he would be around to pick her up at 4pm, she asked why trying to figure out what he was going to do for their date but he said the surprise would be worth it, she sighed but agreed saying that she was really excited and couldn't wait to see him, as he was just about to knock on her door, it swung open.

"I couldn't wait another three minutes, get in here you." Regina teased, she saw him through the peep hole standing there adjusting his tie. She wouldn't show it but she was just as nervous excited as he was.

"Sorry." Robin said stepping into the apartment, she turned him around and kissed him soundly, hoping that her gesture would make up for slightly embarrassing him. He smiled as they pulled apart, he finally took a look at her, she listened to him and wore comfortable clothes, she had on a pair of white sneakers, surprisingly fashionable light grey jogger sweats that cuffed, and a V-neck long sleeved fleece that was just as white as her shoes, what was even more appealing was her glasses.

She instantly blushed realizing why he was staring at her longer than usual, she pushed them up immediately.

"Oh those, I only use them when I'm reading things on labels." Regina said, mentally cursing at herself, there goes her sexiness she thought. Robin stepped closer with that dimpled smile, he gently took her glasses and placed them back on her nose.

"You're so beautiful." He said kissing her once again, she hummed in response, he was such a great kisser.

"And so sexy." He whispered into her mouth, she about lost her mind, before they got too carried away she broke the kiss and smiled, they both chuckled.

"If we don't leave now, I believe we will miss our flight." Robin said finally dropping one hint for her.

"Flight!" Regina shrieked, "We're going somewhere? In these?" she asked looking at their attire.

"Relax, it will just be you and I, with a few staff." He spoke, the tension in her jaw left as she listened to his words.

"Shall we?" he asked, she took his arm and let him lead her into an afternoon and night full of mystery.
