Thank you all so much for helping me out! I was seriously going to take a break again because of lack of ideas. You guys are the best.

This chapter is for KatDee with the prompt: "One where Ava gets asked to a dance and all chaos ensues in the Swan-Mills household as one of their baby girls is now growing up to be a lady. "

"So what's this emergency family meeting about?" Lola asked, plopping down in her seat at the kitchen table.

"No idea," Henry said. "Who even called it anyway?"

"I did," Ava said, sitting down next to Henry. She didn't have the genetics of Emma or Regina, and yet she moved as gracefully as Regina did; a talent that Lola was often envious of.

"What's going on?" Regina asked. "Did something happen at school?"

"Something like that," Ava said. "I got asked to prom this morning."

The whole table erupted into chaos, cheering and high-fives being shared among siblings while Emma and Regina just sat in shock. Could Ava really be old enough to be asked to prom?

"Earth to mothers," Ava teased, waving her hand in front of Emma and Regina. "Are you guys okay? You're both just kind of sitting there and staring into space."

"Of course," Emma said, breaking out of her haze. "Sorry. Just a little shocked is all. One of our little girls is old enough to be going to prom!"

"Maybe you guys can join Violet and I," Henry suggested. "Then you won't have to spend the night alone together. First dates are always kind of awkward."

"Who is this guy?" Lola asked. "Is he nice?"

Ava rolled her eyes. "I have high standards. Of course he's nice. And very smart. Top of his class, just like I am."

"He's not in your class?" Regina asked.

"No," Ava said. "He's a senior."

"So he's two years older than you?" Lola asked. "That seems kind of sketchy. Why couldn't he ask someone from his own grade?"

"Because he wanted to ask me," Ava said. "He really is nice, and very gentleman-like. He asked in a very nice way."

"He didn't ask our permission to court you," Regina said.

"We're going to a dance, not getting married," Ava said, rolling her eyes. She looked at Emma for help. "Will you control your wife and daughter please?"

Emma laughed. "They're just protective. I'm sure that he's a great guy, and that your mom and sister will be nice to him when he comes around. Right ladies?"

Regina and Lola shared a glance before sighing in unison. "Right."

A couple weeks passed, and the dance finally arrived. Ava had spend the whole afternoon getting her hair and makeup done, and had just gotten dressed. Henry had gotten dressed fairly quickly. After all, he didn't have to worry about everything girls did.

"Pictures before dinner, right?" Henry asked, fidgeting with his bowtie.

"Yes, that way the girls don't have to worry about their lipstick being faded in the pictures," Regina said, reaching over and fixing Henry's bowtie.

"She ready yet?" Emma asked, joining Regina and Henry in the foyer.

"I'm ready," Ava said from the top of the stairs. Everyone looked up and all of their jaws dropped. Ava wore a red mermaid dress that hugged her curves perfectly with lace covering her shoulders and halfway down her back. Her dark brown hair was pulled off to the side in an elegant ponytail, perfectly displaying her silver earrings. Her shoes peeked out of her dress, matching the silver of her earrings.

"You look beautiful," Regina said, discreetly swiping under her eyes.

"Thanks mom," Ava said, smiling. "We should probably get going, we're meeting them for pictures in 10 minutes." She walked with Henry out of the front door, Lola following close behind.

"You okay?" Emma asked, nudging Regina gently.

Regina nodded. "They're just growing up so fast."

"I know," Emma said, grabbing her hand and squeezing it gently. "Let's go take some pictures. She isn't going to wait around forever."

Regina nodded and they walked together to the car. The kids may be growing up fast, but they were going to make every moment count.

Fluffity fluff fluff :)
