It was the night of Snow White and Prince Charmings dance and the inhabitants of Storybrooke had all but forgotten about Elsa and her snowman. Everyone was excited and going home early from work to get ready. Even Emma had gone home early, which certainly wasn't like her, but she wanted to look really nice tonight, let all the people of Storybrooke see a glimse of her softer side. So just yesterday she had taken Henry shopping with her because she wanted a second opinion. Of course, she could have brought Killian, but she wanted her dress to be a surprise for him, she wanted to see him get stunned and she was very sure that he was going to be. The dress she had bought was purple with a sweetheart neckline and white glasstones around the waist. It was gorgeous and with the right hairstyle it would get even better. Now Henry couldn't be there to tell her she looked good though, because he was going to the dance with Regina since she obviously couldn't go with Robin Hood and Emma was going with Killian. She had actually convinced him to wear a modern suit instead of his usual leather robe.

"Come on out mom! I'm sure you're looking great!"

Henry sat on the couch in his suit while waiting for his mom who was very nervous for the first dance that the Charmings had actually invited her to. One last look in the mirror before she went out. Her hair was neatly put up in a bun and her earings matched the deep blue dress. Perfect. Regina walked out to her sun who was sitting on the couch in the living room.

"See! You look fantastic!"

"Do you really think so?"

"Absoluteley, and anyone wo doesn't is most likely blind."

Regina smiled at her son who was so sure that everyone would love her. She wished she could have that kind of faith in the people who had always hated her, because even though they all had been getting along lately, she still felt like she didn't belong there sometimes. But if that was the case, then she supposed this would be the grand test of how much of her they could put up with. This was also the first time she wore a dress like this that wasn't black and even if Henry said it did, she was still unsure if the new color suited her. This certainly was a night of new things.

Killian looked at himself in the mirror with his new suit on and was definitly not sure of what he thought about it, but Emma apparently loved it so he had promised to wear it, for her. Tonight he had also planned to give her the necklace Belle gave him at Rumplestiltskins shop the other day, he really hoped she'd like it since jewelry wasn't exactly the best thing in the world according to her. Now he heard Emma walking down the staircase so he turned around to completment her, but she was so beautiful, he couldn't bring himself to it. "So? What do you think?"

Emma smiled and turned around in front of him.

"You... you look amazing love."

"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself, i told you the suit would fit."

"Oh yes, the suit. Thank you for buying it for me... I actually got you something as well the other day... here!"

He picked up the necklace form one of his pockets where he had kept it for the last hour just waiting for an opportunity to give it to Emma.

"It's gorgeous! Killian, this must have cost you a fortune!"

Truth to be told he hadn't payed for it all since Belle had given it to him for free, but for some reason it felt like it would ruin the moment if he said that so instead he just offered to put it around her neck. Finally they walked out of the door arm in arm.

Feeling the need to say hello to every single person that arrived, Snow buzzed around through the crowd like a bee until she finally felt like everyone was properly greated and welcomed. She looked around the room with a pleased smile, happy with having accomplished this whole thing in just two days. It had felt necessary to have the dance soon since a new potential threat was knocking at their doorstep and even though it was a sad thought, she realized this might be the lst time she saw everyone she cared for assebled. Over by the punch she could see Regina talking to dr. Whale, or dr... Frankenstein to be exact and it looked like they we're having a good time. David was currently talking to Ruby and Granny, Henry and Grace sat by a table of their own closely together, chatting and giggling about something. Jefferson stood close by, talking to Robin, but obviously keeping an eye on the kids as well. Out on the dance floor, Emma and Killian were dancing and laughing, Snow could not describe how happy she was that her daughter had found someone who made her so very happy, even if it might not be the one they thought it'd be. Everything was perfect, when the doors to the town hall suddently slammed open and everyone turned around with a gasp.

Straight in walked Elsa, with Olaf carefully walking behind her. She walked right into the middle of the room where she pulled out a chair and stood up on it.

"Well, well, well! This certainly was a nice little party you've arranged here, I am a bit offended not to be invited, but I suppose you might just have forgotten since I'm new to the town. For you who don't know me, My name is Elsa and I'd like to have a word with someone here! Has anyone seen Rumplestiltskin?"

At first, everyone stood there silent until someone started moving in the back. Turns out, this someone wasn't Rumplestiltskin, but Belle.

"My husband is currently not here. But if you want to tell him something, I'd be happy to deliver the message."

"He's your husband you say? Excellent."
