The day for the castlecoming finally came at the Merlin academy, the whole week passed very slowly, the preparation and the whole organisation for this event took at least days to make.

The princesses, princes even the villain ran around the town to find their perfect gowns and suits for this special night. Sadly Ella couldn't come because of issues with her stepsisters and her dear stepmother who's a devil with horns hidden in that hair.

Yet it happened always miracles and Fay was her miracle, making sure she would come and live the story of who she dreamt of with Charming who was having the same romantic feelings just like she did towards him.

That castlecoming wouldn't be forgettable from any villain and royalty's brains, the night would become special for some and for one couple it would become a disaster thanks to Uliana and her puppy Morgie.

The night had came for the academy, the celebration had started and the whole ballroom was filled with every single student in stunning clothing, hairstyles etc well some worn simple clothing or their casual one since the castlecoming was nothing special in their eyes and it was just dumb event for celebrating something so useless that they preferred to be in the dorms.

James Hook was already there, leaned against the corner with boredom in his face even he forced himself to be official than to go with his usual pirate attire. He wanted that night for his Bridget to be special even if it meant for him to wear a suit with a tie, he would settle for this only for her and no one else.

He hadn't seen her all day which worried and disturbed him even his head is filled with a lot of questions - where is she? Is she okay? Did Uliana harmed her in any way? Is she avoiding him? Did he do something wrong?

Hook never expected himself to be in that state to feel anxious, to feel worried hell to assume things - it made his body confused and even weird. But love was love and the symptoms couldn't be healed with cold, venom heart or snark.

His dark pupils looked around the ballroom while having his arms crossed around his chest and waiting for her to show up with all her sparkling, glory and beauty, not to watch some cringe couples and how the villains were doing the usual pranks on the royalties.

The corner of his eyes caught a figure which made him to push himself off the corner and then to turn around and face the sudden presence who stepped inside and got a few glances of envy, jealousy and amazement from his ex partners or just a random students.

His breath caught in his throat, his face start to get warmer until the crimson red colour covered his cheeks - she looked breathtaking and she indeed took his breath away with her beauty, sweetness and those soft brown eyes.

Bridget could feel his gaze glued on her and her only, it brought a small loving smile on her while touching the skirt of her dress and her dress might seemed so simple and not so princess like but at least she sewed it with Ella's help.

The dress was with baby pink colour and flowers around it, instead of puffy fancy sleeves on their places there were straps, the skirt wasn't that long as the usual princess gowns but a bit more shorter and there were a simple grey heels matching the grey flowers on the dress.

She looked absolutely stunning in that attire, her hair being tied in a french braid was the final touch who made her beauty to radiate but mostly her love and excitement to grow in her body, to make her the special girl in the room and forget about the outside world, these people who stared a bit dumbfounded and jealous.
