Ok so for some reason I was really nervous to write this chapter? Idk why but I guess it's cuz i'm going into season 2? Well anyways I told you I'd update soon. Sorry again that it is not a lot but the writer's block fairy keeps like coming into my brain and enchanting it. Anyways I really hope you like this!

The purple cloud passed through Storybrooke as quickly as it had approached the small town. I looked out the window and saw that everything was still in place, nothing had been damaged. I felt my phone go off a second later and saw a text from Finn.
Get out of there now! People outside aren't to happy with Regina the text informed me. When I turned around I saw Regina behind me waiting for my answer to her question.

I'm sorry no I answered shaking my head at her as I quickly left the house,without looking back. I made it out the back door and started walking towards the main street.
"DAD? DAD?" This little ginger kid shouted as he looked around.

Oh you have got to be kidding me. Again? I thought as I approached the child. I tapped on the kid's shoulder and he turned around.

"Hello, I remember you" he said.

Here's my cellphone, call your dad, and ask him to get you your own phone so you can stop losing each other I wrote for him as I handed him my phone.

"Ok" he smiled and shrugged as he took my phone and called his dad.

"He said he's at the park with my aunt, can you walk me there?" he asked. I just nodded my head at him absentmindedly. There were so many thoughts rushing through my head right now that I couldn't focus on anything. How could I get back to Killian? Would he even remember me if he ever saw me? Where was my family? What about Henry? Would he still want me to be an older sister figure for him now that he actually had a family?

Once the kid finally met up with his dad I was attacked by Merida.
"OH MY GOD ARIEL IT'S YOU! IT'S REALLY PROPERLY YOU!" Merida exclaimed as she pounced on me.
"Ahhh I can't believe this I remember everything, even Jefferson!" Merida then let out a very loud gasp.
"Regina! That bitch! She's the one who took him away from me! I was left alone on those castle steps for days I didn't know what do with myself after he didn't show up for several hours" Merida went off on a little rant.

What? I mouthed to her.
"Nothing it's just I have to find Jefferson" she explained.
"You know my papa?" this voice asked behind us. Merida and I turned around and saw Grace.

"Is she-" I nodded as an answer to Merida's unfinished question. Merida made a small smile as she got down to Grace's height and stood in front of her.
"Yes I know your dad and he told me loads of amazing things about you!" Merida told her.
"Who are you then?" she asked.
"I'm Merida, princess of Dun Broch. You may know my little brothers better than me"
"Are they the one's constantly stealing cookies from the cafeteria all the time?" Grace asked. Merida nodded

"Wee little devil's aren't they?"

"They could get away with murder" Grace joked. Merida laughed at that. She stood up to her full height now and took Grace's hand.
"Come on let's go look for your dad. I think he's missed his two favorite girls for quite awhile" Merida told her. Before her and Grace went off, Merida turned towards me to ask me a question
"Have you found your sailor boy yet?"

He's not here I wrote out for her and I felt so much pain in writing that.

"You'll find each other" she assured me. I nodded at her and I watched as her and Grace walked off together chatting quite happily. Well at least someone was happy, actually everyone was happy with how the curse being broken turned out. I stood there with a small smile on my face as I watched families reunite with each other and lover's run into each others arms declaring how much they missed the other. I so badly wished I had someone like that for me. I felt a small drizzle begin and pulled my hood up. As well as having no family member's to hug me or tell me how much they missed me I also had no place to stay. I could've stayed at Grannie's but I didn't even have the money to pay for that at the moment, and it didn't seem right to ask Ruby for an IOU either.

"Hi there" Flounder said to me as I passed by him. I hadn't even noticed him standing there. I turned towards him and waved unenthusiastically.
"So you remember everything then?" he asked. I nodded.
"Even-"
You trying to kiss me, you saying that you love me, and oh yeah the fact that you tried to make me not stay with Killian for the rest of my life? Oh yeah I remember all of it sweetheart I signed at him. The more I continued talking the more I just got angrier with him.

"I did it all for you though" he told me as he got closer to me.

I know and that was sweet but...
"Killian, I know..." Flounder told me with a sad look on his face. I looked down at my feet feeling ashamed for hurting someone, who was so close to me and who had been through everything with me.
"That's why I am going to help you find him" Flounder continued his sentence. I gave him a confused look.

"I'd much rather see you happy then sad" he explained. He let out a sigh as he gave me a tight hug.
"I'm not letting go until you hug back" he joked. I smiled at that and hugged him back.
"And you'll stay at my place for now all right?" he asked. I nodded.

Killian felt cold as he realized that he had no blankets covering him as he slept in the large bed in his quarters, that was meant for two, but had been occupied by one for quite a long time. He blindly searched for the blanket on the other side of the bed thinking that he must have kicked it off in the middle of night but found it missing. He raised his head a bit, still feeling tired as he saw that his blanket was curled up in a ball on the other side of the bed. protruding from that ball though was bright red hair. He got closer, to the blanket and noticed that it was a person, that had cocooned them self in his blanket. The person turned over and he saw the one face he had longed to see for quite some time.

"Ariel" he whispered at the sight of her as a small smile started to form on his face. Even though she was wrapped . in a blanket she was still shivering, from coldness. He didn't feel the need to wake her though, seeing that every time he would see her in his dreams she was always in distress while she was awake. She seemed so at peace now. He was afraid that if he woke her up now that all her happy dreams would be blown away by thoughts caused by her harsh reality and problems that made everyone see how unfair life really was. He never wanted her to encounter those types of thoughts. He liked seeing that light in her eyes, that light that showed him that she knew the impossible could be overcome and that adventure was out there.
The strange thing though about this situation was that never before had she been in his world in his dreams. Ariel shivered again as she pulled her legs closer to her and curled more into a ball. Killian smiled at her as he laid back down and slid his arm underneath her pulling her close to him. Her head cradled perfectly into his neck as she relaxed a bit and stretched out her legs. He smiled a bit as he winced when he felt her icicles for feet rub up against his legs.
"Bloody hell woman, you sleep in an icebox?" he joked to himself not really caring about his uncomfortableness. He watched as her arms wriggled out of there cocoon and wrapped themselves around his chest, making Ariel pull herself closer to him. They were so close together now that Killian felt their hearts beat in sync together.

She has a heart now. How can that be? Killian wondered but merely pushed the thought aside as he lowered his face down into her red hair and closed his eyes as he enjoyed this moment. For being a dream this had been one of the most realistic and fantastic dreams he had ever encountered. He felt a slight tickling sensation against his neck as he realized Ariel was waking up now and trying to blink out the tiredness in her eyes. Killian let out a hollowed sigh, knowing that his dream was ending now. He placed a small kiss on the top of her head and waited for the familiar pulling sensation he usually felt whenever he would wake up from these dreams but it hadn't occurred yet. Ariel let go of him and pulled away, sitting up now as she surveyed the area. Killian backed away from her as he searched her eyes for some sort of sense of frightfulness, remembering what the hatter had told him earlier about her reaction to him might be if she ever saw him. When her eyes landed on him he stood still and waited for something to happen. He had expected her to run away but instead she just sat there looking him up and down as she tried to control her breathing. Killian knew that what he was about to do next would be going to far but he had to try. He scooted closer to her and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and let his hand stay on her cheek. He felt tears roll down Ariel's cheek as she turned her face into his hand and kissed his palm and placed her's on top of his and their eyes connected.
"Ariel?" he had to ask. She sniffled and then threw her arms around him making them topple off the bed in a mess of pillows,blankets, and laughter. Killian sat up after they had staid on the floor for a moment drinking each other in with their eyes and just savoring the fact that they were together again.

"You remember me then? You really remember me?" he asked. Ariel smiled at him and nodded. Her arms had not even broken away from their place around his neck for a second. Killian held her close to him again and she pulled in tighter and he could feel their heart's beating in sync once more.
"I missed you" was all he could say. She nodded at him.
"How'd you get here?" he asked. She just shrugged.
"It doesn't matter" he realized as he picked her up and placed her back on his bed.
"All that matters is that you're back" She noticed something on his shirtless chest that made her pause for a moment and smile that dazzling smile of her's. Killian smiled back,glad that she had noticed, he hadn't wanted to make a public declaration of it before but now that she was here with him again, and he truly knew of his feelings for her, he wanted her hear a little story that he had for her about this simple permanent marking he had on his chest, because of her. Right above where his heart was there was a tattoo of her name in the same lettering that she had done when she carved her name into his boat, as a way of introducing herself, when they had first officially met. She placed her hand over the tattoo with a smile on her face as she felt his heart beat quicken a bit at her touch.
"Do you remember that day I told you, that someday I would get a tattoo that represented you?" he asked. She nodded.
"I got this one several day's after that conversation"

Why? she mouthed curious to hear his answer.

"Because tattoo's tend to last longer than marriage's. Of course now that you're back I hope you prove me wrong then" he smiled. He watched as Ariel's cheeks turned bright red and she just nuzzled her face into his neck out of embarrassment for acting like a silly little girl. Killian thought it was adorable.

"And on that happy note...I believe that you have a kiss that is long over due my dear" he smirked as he leaned towards her and she placed her hand behind his neck ready to take charge until her hand passed through him. Ariel started breathing heavily out of nervousness as she tried to touch him again but she couldn't feel him.
"No" Killian snapped. Ariel looked at him confused.
"This isn't real Ariel, it's a dream. I would say it's mine but it's not, it's yours" Killian explained to her once he noticed what was going on. He felt so frustrated, he had just gotten her back and now here he was losing her again. Killian looked into her eyes and knew what she was thinking.

I don't want to go Ariel thought. She looked scared and shook her head at him.

"I'm so sorry but you're waking up now" Ariel stubbornly continued to shake her head and tried to grab onto him again and again but her attempts were always unsuccessful. Killian and her sat up and he gently placed his hand on her face so it wouldn't pass through her. Ariel felt the a small warmth from his hand on the top of her cheek and felt so desperate because she just wanted more time with him. She had finally been happy just like everyone else in Storybrooke had been, when they had been reunited with their significant other. She thought for a moment that she had finally achieved her happy ending.

"Listen to me, we will be together and I will find you" Killian promised. Ariel opened her mouth and Killian heard something he thought he would never hear until he had kissed her.
"I love you" a soft voice came out of Ariel's mouth. Both of them looked surprised at the sound of her voice but before they could ask each other any questions Ariel had disappeared.

AND THAT'S IT FOR NOW!
