This chapter is for Lanafan7151977 with the prompt: "Ava's first date." Please leave more prompts you guys!

"Where are you going?" Regina asked as Ava tried to sneak past her.

Ava froze. "Just going out with some friends."

"Where to?" Emma asked. "You seem to be wearing pretty dressy clothes just for hanging out with some friends."

"We're going to a party," Ava said. "Is it a crime for me to want to look nice?"

"You've gone to plenty of parties before without being dressed up," Regina pointed out. "What's making this party different?"

"Nothing," Ava mumbled. "Can I just go now?"

"There's no party tonight," Henry said, smirking.

Ava glared at her brother. "Yes there is. You just weren't invited."

Henry rolled his eyes. "Yeah, okay. Nice try. There is no party tonight. You just don't want them to know what you're really doing."

"Ava?" Regina asked. "What's going on? Where are you really going?"

Ava sighed. "I'm going on a date."

"A what?" Emma asked. "You are 14! You do not need to be going on dates until you're at least 18."

"18?" Ava asked. "Are you crazy? That's way too long."

"16 then," Emma said. "But definitely not 14. You're too young to actually know what love is. Going on a date at your age is-"

"Wonderful," Regina interrupted. "It will let you experience what it's like to be in a relationship so when you're older, you know what you're looking for."

Ava smiled. "Thanks Mom. Ma, I promise that I'll be safe. He's a nice guy, I promise. We're just going to see a movie. Nothing else."

Emma sighed. "Fine. You can go on the date."

"Thank you!" Ava exclaimed, hugging her mothers. "I promise that I'll be home before 10."

"Emma, will you please just relax?" Regina asked. "It's only 9:30. She has half an hour to get home."

"The movie started at 7," Emma said. "They should be home by now."

"Maybe they took a slight detour to Granny's," Regina said. It's not that big of a deal. It's their first date, let them enjoy it and determine if they want to go one another one."

"One is enough," Emma said, looking anxiously at the front door.

Just as Regina was going to physically pull Emma onto the couch next to her, the front door opened. A smiling Ava walked in, a hand to her lips.

"He kissed you, didn't he?" Regina asked, smiling.

Ava giggled before nodding. "I know that you said that I wouldn't know what love felt like, but I really do like him."

Emma smiled before pulling her in for a hug. "As long as you're happy, I'm happy."

Ava smiled. "Thanks Ma."

"And if he breaks your heart, I'll break his face," Emma teased.

Ava and Regina laughed. "I don't doubt that at all," Ava said.
