Danielle skulked through the halls of Storybrooke High School uninterestedly, Scuffing her shoes against the floor as she walked. Her day had actually gone pretty well. It was a bit of a let down when she discovered Snow was her tutor but she'd managed to stay out of trouble and keep a lid on her rebellious streak.
She threw her supplies into her assigned locker with a huff, Praying her Mother would come pick her up soon.
"Hey beautiful!" She heard from behind her, She whipped her head towards the source of the noise and rolled her eyes.
"You talkin to me?" She asked bluntly giving the boy a quick once over. Not bad she thought. The boy was 6 foot with a mop of brown hair and eyes to match, He wore skinny jeans with black high tops and a simple white T-Shirt. Normally she'd give everyone the benefit of the doubt but she knew those types of guys, The ones who had whoever they wanted and hopped from girl to girl leaving heartbreak behind. She was no fool.
"I don't see any other pretty girls here." The Boy said with a smirk as he approached her, His brown eyes sparkling with amusement.
Danielle threw her head back in laughter.
"What? You don't like that one?" He asked her, Taking another small step towards her until he was practically breathing her air.
"You're telling me you actually pick up girls that way?" Danielle asked between sniggers, She was feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the close proximity but refused to let him know that.
"Sometimes." The boy flashed a smirk again giving her a better look at his dimples.
"Well it won't work on me pretty boy." Danielle sneered. Slamming her locker shut abruptly, Taking pride in the fact that it made him jump.
The boy didn't bother to reply, He just continued his journey towards her slowly, As he stepped forward she attempted to put distance between them, Sighing internally when her back hit the Lockers, trapping her.
His face was a breath away from hers as he watched her intently, His eyes shining with the same amusement from before and something else.
"Really?" He asked smugly when he noticed her sharp intakes of air.
"You're playing with fire." Danielle spat, Never once breaking eye contact. Something about him made her uncomfortable, She wasn't quiet sure what it was but she didn't plan on sticking around.
"We'll see." The boy said, Slowly walking away from the brunnette.
"The name's Mason Scarlett." With that he was gone, Strolling down the halls like he owned the frickin school.
Danielle finally gave herself a chance to breathe, His prescence had rattled her and she wasn't happy, She needed to pull herself together.

"Good first day?" Regina asked when her Daughter hopped into the passenger seat of her Mercedes, Robin had taken Henry and Roland home, Allowing Regina some bonding time with Danielle.
"I held it together." The teen replied, Relaxing into the leather seat as she clipped the seatbelt in.
"Did you meet anyone?" Regina asked with interest, She so badly wanted Danielle to fit in. It was inevitable that Snow's optimism had rubbed off on her.
"Nah not really, Although some fuckwit in the hallway was flirting with me." Danielle's tone was one of disgust, It suprised her slightly as she was never one to judge a book by it's cover, Something about Mason rattled her.
"Language." Regina warned as she pulled out of the parking lot skilfully.
"What was his name?"
"Mason Scarlett." No sooner had the words left Danielle's mouth had a frown formed on her Mother's.
"Oh." Was all she gave her Daughter in reply as they headed towards town, Both eager to spend some time together.

"What about this one?" Regina asked with a smile, Holding up a simple black dress.
"No offence Mom but I'm not exactly a dress wearing kinda girl." The teen stated Pointing out her skinny jeans and converse with a laugh, Stopping abruptly when she saw her Mother's intense stare.
"What?" Danielle asked as they made their way to the changing rooms.
"You called me Mom." Regina whispered and she was right. Danielle had never called her Mom before, It was always Regina. She felt a surge of warmth in her chest when she saw her Mother's eyes well up. She kissed her cheek softly and took the dress.
"Okay I'll try it on for you." The teen threw Regina a wink before disappearing behind the black curtains to change.
"So." Regina drawled. Trying to find an appropriate way to ask her Daughter what she wanted.
"Why don't you tell me what happened with Mason?" Regina tried to sound light hearted but truth be told she was worried. She knew exactly what Mason Scarlett was like and she did not take pleasure in the thought of him flirting with her Daughter.
"Oh that. Yea he was just being pushy." Danielle laughed, Remembering his pathetic attempt to chat her up.
"So, Nothing is happening there?" Regina continued to sort through the pile of clothes they already had while she waited for her Daughter to finish changing.
"You're kidding me right?" Danielle scoffed as she threw the curtains aside, Strutting out to show her Mother the dress.
"It's my first day and he was hitting on me. If that doesn't say creep I don't know what will." The teen began fiddling with the zipper at the back of her dress, Ensuring it was fastened properly.
Regina looked on at her daughter in awe, She looked absolutley beautiful. Her waist length brown hair hung over her shoulders in loose curls. The dress hugged her curves perfectly, Regina had already made her mind up, They were leaving with that dress.
"You look beautiful."
"Before today I never saw myself in a dress." Then teen murmured, Staring at herself in the mirror.
"Technically you're a princess and all princesses need at least one dress." A few moments later they left the store in a fit of laughter and for once Danielle didn't feel so alone.

The pair had decided that Danielle's room was to be decorated by magic, Less mess Regina claimed.
In a second flat the room was transformed from it's airy white to a deep maroon and Danielle was in love.
"It looks amazing. Thanks mom." She have Regina a brief hug before she began packing her things away, She wanted to make their house a home.
The two turned when they heard a small knock and the pitter patter of small feet. Danielle rose to open the door, A huge smile spread across her face in knowledge of who it was.
"Hey sissy." Roland said shyly a small blush covering his cheeks.
"Hey Roly Poly." The teen replied lovingly, Scooping him up and resting him on her hip.
Regina watched their interaction with a smile on her face and warmth in her chest. When Danielle first started to visit it was Roland who fell for her instantly, Ecstatic about the prospect of having a sister.
"Daddy says it's bath time." The boy said with a huff, His curls bouncing slightly as he wriggled in his sisters hold.
"Uh huh." Danielle said knowingly, Waiting for the question she knew was coming.
"Will you play duckies with me?" The child asked quietly, his head falling into the crook of Danielle's neck as he looked up at her with big muddy eyes.
"Of course I will buddy." Roland squeeled loudly when he heard his Sister's answer and wiggled to get back down on the floor.
Once there he ran off in the direction of the bathroom leaving Danielle to follow.

Regina climbed into bed next to her soulmate and snuggled into him shamelessly.
"Milady." Robin greeted, Wrapping his arm around her waist. He pulled her close and inhaled the scent of her hair. Apples. What else?
"Our family is finally complete" She said softly, The smell of forest already invading her senses and making her sleepy.
"It sure is." Robin placed a chaste kiss on her forehead, Trading whispered I love you's they both fell asleep.
