Time At the Pool (OPEN)

[Deleted]

Thumbelina/Phoenix/Lina Parker

-Time Skip-

Lina had swam laps until the lessons had started and then had moved to the deep end not really wanting to get out for a bit. She eventually had gotten out and with Ribbitin's shift over they had both showered, and changed and were now on their way to Granny's. She smiled as they kept walking and she was enjoying hanging out with him. First the bridge, then they'd had fun swimming. And part of her hoped they could hang out a bit more today. If he had plans or something then she wouldn't stop him from going. But hopefully they could hang out a bit more after lunch. As they walked into Granny's Lina found them a table as she took a seat. She smiled waiting for Ruby or Granny to come get their order. She smiled as Ribbtin joined her. She'd been wondering about asking him out for awhile today. She paused deciding she to just ask him and get it out in the open.

"Ribbitin I like hanging out with you. And I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me? I'd like to get to know you better and I know I'm starting to have feelings for you. But if you don't want that I'd still wantto be your friend." said Lina.

She paused waiting for his answer. If he didn't want to date her sure it'd be akward but she still wanted him as a friend. She didn't really have that many at the moment.

Ribbitin came into the dinner before he saw Lina he smiled to her as he joined her at the table & waited to have there orders taken with her words he was a bit supprised by them yet not insulted or that by them, he spoke "I would like to get to know you as well Lina, it is always enjoy able to hang out with you & I cannot say I enjoy anyones company as much as I do yours" Once there where waited on he said what he wanted to eat & drink, waiting for Lina to do the same before he hopped she would speak on what she felt.

Lina saw the surprise on Ribbitin's face when heard her. She smiled as he said he would like to get to know her. She felt so happy as she smiled at him.

"I'm so glad you said yes. I look forward to getting to know you as well. I already know you what I like so far. A kind man who loves nature, enjoys a good swim, and is really fun to talk to." said Lina.

She smiled turning to the waitress as she arrived. Lina placed her order getting a sandwich and a drink as the waitress left to get their orders. She turned back to Ribbitin and took her hand in hers.

"I'm glad I met you that day on the bridge. It's strange for the longest time I felt like I was waiting for something or someone. And now I don't feel that anymore." said Lina.

[Frog Prince/Ribbitin]

He saw her smile as he listened to her words "Perhaps it was faith that had are paths cross, I am glade to of meet you as well. I am glade to be able to help you feel more complete, I would say that is a good sign of course I cannot say that after meeting you I want you out of my life & I am glade we can see now where things go, but know I would never do anything to harm you He meant his words he would do all he could to keep her safe, even if they had remained nothing more than friends "You are very special Lina"

Lina smiled at him.

"Perhaps it was. I'm glad we get a chance to know each other. And I definitely will be coming by the pool more often." said Lina.

She grinned as she took his hand and leaned forward on an impulse and kissed him. She eventually pulled back and blushed.

"I wanted to do that since I saw you this morning." said Lina.

She grinned at him as their food arrived. She began eating it as she looked at him.

"Ribbitin are you free this weekend? I have Sunday off. We could go spend the day on the bridge again or go see a movie maybe?" said Lina.

She took a sip of soda and kept eating waiting for his answer.

[Frog Prince/Ribbitin]

.He returned her smile at her words he chuckled lightly, as he winked to her as he spoke “I look forward to seeing you there” He savored being able to kiss her hand, yet he found Lian was able to surprise him as she kissed him on the lips, he could not help as he responded to the kiss even if it was short or so it felt. He saw her blush once she had pulled back, he smiled as he felt his cheeks heat up so as he blushed some as well “Perhaps we should see watch other more often in the morning?” There food arrived & they started to eat, when he heard her words “I am free this weekend, I would love to do ether with you I suppose we could go to the bridge to start & perhaps later go see a movie?” He was glade to do what ever she wished so long as he got to spend time with her.

Lina smiled as he returned the kiss. She smiled as he said they should meet more in the morning.

"Sure. My mornings are usually free when I'm not working. I usually work in the afternoons in my mother's shop." said Lina.

She kept eating as she heard him suggest the bridge first and then a movie.

"That sounds good. I'm not sure what's playing. If there's nothing good playing then maybe we could go for a swim, or go bowling, or think of something else." said Lina.

She took a sip of her soda and resumed eating again.

[Frog Prince/Ribbitin]

At her words he spoke as he eat as he listened to her "We can work around each others working or that, to do things together?" He could not think of any movie playing ether, yet he knew that he would enjoy no matter what it was so long as it was with her. "That sounds like a good idea, like you I am not sure what is playing, but we can still find somthing to do together that we can enjoy" He knew he was feeling for for Lina than, he had felt for others before he was not sure if it was just becouse of the cusrse being broken or f it was more, yet he felt it was more for he was sure for now they knew who they really where & that did help. As he waited for her words he moved back to eatting & drinking, his food.

Lina nodded and smiled. She paused and glanced at him.

"You know it's still hard adjusting to being so tall. You probably won't believe me but I used to be the size of a bug. I was known as Thumbelina in our old land. My mother wished for a child even one as big as her thumb and the Blue Fairy granted her wish. Sometimes I wished I was bigger but now that I am I'm glad. But there are times I miss being that tiny." said Lina.

She smiled as she nodded.

"Yeah. If there's nothing good playing we can think of something else. We could skate, bowl, anything really. As long as I'm with you." said Lina.

She smiled as she resumed eating again.

[Frog Prince/Ribbitin]

Ribbtin had eatten as he listened to her, once she was done he took a moment before he spoke "I would believe it, of course in are old land at one point I was a frog, it had its moments yet it tought me many things" He smiled to her "I could not agree more, doing things with people whos company you enjoy always makes things better" He took the momnet to smile to her, before he moved to eat some working to finish up his food

Lina paused looking at him in surprise.

"You were a frog? Were you always a frog or were you enchanted back home?" asked Lina.

She was curious. Not that it mattered to her if he'd been a frog. A frog back home had proposed to her and she'd turned him down being in love with Cornelius at the time. But now she wasn't sure if that had been love. She'd only met him a couple times just like Ribbitin. But she felt like she was actually getting to know Ribbitin while she barely knew Cornelius. And she'd almost rushed into the idea of marrying him. Perhaps she would have been happy with Cornelius if the curse hadn't hit but for now she wanted to try thinks out with Ribbitin even if Cornelius showed up this moment. She took another sip of her drink as she kept eating waiting for his answer.

[Frog Prince/Ribbitin]

At her words he smiled to her "I was cures, into being a frog I think it was more form a deal going wrong & also that others wanted me out of the way. My curse was broken, shortly before we where all broght here, I have yet to find my family, but than the curse was not broken that long ago to where I remember them, so have not had alote of time to look for them, but with time I know that I will find them" He waited for her words, as he turned back to working on his meal & finishing it up not that he would not enjoy her company more or expected them to part ways the moment they where done.

Lina looked at him with concern.

"You were cursed and separated from your family? How awful. I'm glad the curse was broken. If I can help you find your family let me know." said Lina.

She hoped he found his family. She was grateful she had her mother here in Storybrooke with her. Now that the curse was broken her mother remembered both lifetimes as well and was glad to see her. She had been seperated from her for days before teh curse hit. Her mother had been so worried but they had been reunited thanks to the curse. She took another sip and smiled.

"So what do you want to do now? Go look for your family? Or go have some fun. We could go to the bridge again. Or go for a walk around the town." said Lina.

She didn't really care what they did just as long as they were together.

[Frog Prince/Ribbitin]

He heard her words "I will find them & I thank you for your offer of help, perhaps in time we will find them" With her last words spoke "We could go for a walk & than go to the bridge, as much as I would like to find my family I think it will take time, but I still thank you for the help & offer" He moved to finish his food, before he moved to get his wallet so he could pay for there meals, he did not expected Lina to.

Lina listened to him and smiled.

"Alright. Then we can just hang out together. I'm sure you'll find your family eventually. But if you want help let me know." said Lina.

She was about to reach for her purse and to her surprise Ribbitin paid. She smiled at him touched he paid. She hadn't expected that at all.

"Thank you. So let's go for that walk. Perhaps a stroll through the park along the way?" asked Lina.

She smiled as she walked out with him holding his hand as they began their stroll.
