From stone to flaming red.

it was 8:00am and Chloe's alarm went off. The two girls slept in the same bed after the previous night that was full of emotions. Chloe woke up and turned around to shut it off and check the time while Red woke up and groaned while holding Chloe in her arms. "ugh..I'm staring to hate that alarm clock." Red said burying her face into Chloe's chest. Chloe chuckled as she put the phone down and turned her attention back to her. "we have to get up in a bit baby." Chloe said in her morning voice. Red looked at her with a frowny face. Chloe smiled and kissed her on the lips. "in a bit." Red said as she pulled Chloe closer to her. The blue haired girl giggled as she wrapped her arms around Red and they cuddled. Suddenly the door burst open. The two girls pulled away from each other quickly and fixing their hair. "Good morni-" Cinderella got into the room and stood still as she watched the two girls sitting in the same bed. "um why are you two in the same bed?" The two girls looked at each other. "um we were watching a movie last night and we fell asleep." Chloe told her mom as they getting up from the bed. "yeah.." Cinderella told her not believing a word. When Chloe lied to her mom it was so obvious but she didn't make a big deal out of it, she was waiting for her daughter to tell her on her own. She suddenly noticed the flags over both of their beds. Chloe saw her mom's head shifting at them and quickly distracted her. "Mom! Haven't I told you how lovely is here." She said to bring her mom's attention to her. Cinderella was smiling slightly as she was having fun looking at her daughter trying to hide her sexuality. She always knew. Since Chloe first hung out with Red. Red noticed Cindy's slight smile and looked at her confused. Cindy looked at her and winked at Red. Her face glowed out of joy to see that Chloe's mom was actually supportive about her decisions.

"You haven't actually. You can start by telling me how the rooming with your childhood best friend is going." Cinderella asked making both girls kind of uncomfortable. They didn't know anything from their childhood together. It was like it never happened for them. They were hoping that time by time memories will come back, and they actually did. Really slow. But sometimes they would get flashes of things they did together. "It is real great. Red's the most amazing person ever." Chloe said so comfortably because nothing in that sentence was a lie. "really? I bet you two have so much fun together." Cindy said smiling at her daughter. "We sure do." Chloe said looking at Red smiling. "Bridget will be here soon as well darling so you might want to prepare yourself." Cinderella reassured Red. On the other hand Red's mom wasn't exactly the most supportive in those kind of things. Red never really talked about her relationships to her mom because she made them awkward. Cinderella had talked to Bridget about the thought of Red being bisexual and she was denying it quickly. She wasn't exactly a homophobe. She was just scared for her daughter. Of how the world was going to treat her. She wasn't wrong to be exact. Although Ella was supportive she knew that Chloe could stand up to herself if something happened. Bridget though knew that if someone hurt Red with these comments she wouldn't know how to react, which it was true actually if yall remember.

"Really? She is coming here? But she doesn't come unless.." Red quickly realised the day. "Unless it's parents day!" She said as her eyes widen and looked at Chloe. The blue haired girl slowly realised that they completely forgot about it. Red quickly signs at Chloe to distract her mom while she put their flags down. Chloe did exactly what Red told her to do. "So mom! Where is dad and Chad?" She asked her. "They are at the garden waiting for us. So why don't you get ready and come with me I think Bridget is going to meet us there." Cindy said. "Oh okay okay." Chloe says.

The two girls got in the bathroom together so they could get ready. "I forgot that it was parents day today." Chloe whispered while Red agreed. "what do we do?! I haven't told my mom that I'm bisexual. What if your mom tells her?" Red asked Chloe. "Well I haven't told my mom I'm a lesbian." Chloe told her. Red looked at her confused. "But she seems so supportive and open to it?" Red tells Chloe. "I don't know. I think I'm just scared of what my whole family would think of me." Chloe explains to Red as she was putting her hair up in a bun. "Anyway. What about you? You think your mom won't support you?"  Red scoffed as she heard those words coming out of Chloe's mouth. "My mom would literally disgrace me if she learns that I like girls." Red tells Chloe as she was doing her makeup. "She is not the most affectionate person when it comes to my dating life. She is going to make it awkward and change her perspective about me. I will tell her eventually because I won't be able to keep you a secret of course. But I don't think I am ready to tell her today." Red explained. "Of course baby. You don't have to worry about me really. I love having a little challenge anyway." Chloe told her as she wrapped her arms around her waist and brought her close. She kissed her on the cheek and then Red turned her head and gave her a smooch on the lips. Both girls had no clue that Cinderella had heard their entire conversation. She couldn't believe that Red thought that stuff about her mother. She thought that it was best to talk to Bridget about it so she can help her understand her daughter.

The two girls came out of the bathroom giggling. "We're ready let's go." Red says. "What was all that giggling about?" Ella said. "Don't worry about it." Chloe said as she looked at Red. I guess we won't find out. They all left their dorm and walked at the royal garden. It had pretty tables around with umbrellas, lots of shops and food stands around. Red spotted her mom easily in the tables and walked up to her. "Darling! I've missed you." Bridget told Red as she saw her and hugged her immediately. Red hasn't got used to her mom being affectionate and loving. She was processing it more day by day. "Hey mom." Red said as she hugged her back for the first time. Chloe had brought out Red's soft side since they started having feelings for each-other and it showed as the time passed. As Bridget hugged Red she looked at Ella surprised as she didn't think she would give her this warm of a hug. They pulled away and Bridget squeezed Red's cheeks for a second and caressed her hair."hey dad! Hi weirdo." Chloe greeted her father and brother that were sitting on the table as well. "so me and Chloe will go get something to eat because we just woke up." Red told her mom. "Okay girls we will be waiting over here." Ella said. "Chad why don't you go with them and pay for their food since we are here." Ella added as she wanted to discuss with Bridget and king charming about the two girls. "ugh why do I have to pay?" Chad groaned and followed the two girls who almost held hands but pulled away immediately. "I think I'm about to lose this little challenge if you keep coming that close to me." Red whispered to Chloe as they were walking away.

Ella didn't of course want to out them she just wanted to prepare them for their kids' good. "so Bridg we have to talk about something and we have to do it quick because our daughters will be here. With you too dear." Ella says and gets straight to the point. "oh what is it Ella?" Bridget said. "so..I want you to take this very calmly okay." Ella prepared the queen of hearts. "I think our daughters are together. Like a couple together. And they are afraid of all of us. So please don't say a word and please don't take this the wrong way." Ella says looking both Charming and Bridget. "okay?" Bridget suddenly says. "Wait. That's all you have to say?" Ella exclaims with a confused expression on her face. "Yeah? What do you want me to say? At least I'm not frozen like your husband over there." Bridget says making Ella turn her head. "Dear?" Ella says. "no. My daughter does not like girls. No. You have to be wrong. It's not proper. It's false." Charming says leaving Ella and Bridget silent. "Charming. We are talking about our daughter here. You shouldn't care who she likes you should care that she is happy" Ella says to Charming. "She is not going to live a happy life Ella. Think about it. What if she ever wants to have kids? Huh? What will the world say?" Charming says. "Why would she care about what others will say? It's her life and her choice. And we as parents have to respect that. And I thought Bridget would take this the wrong way but my guess was false." Ella says to her husband.

"Wait..why would you think that?" Bridget says. "Because I heard Red talking about how you wouldn't accept her for who she is and that you would disgrace her." Ella told Bridget. "Well she should and Chloe's out of the kingdom as well." Charming suddenly says leaving both Ella and Bridget looking at him. "I never said those things but wait. Charming. It's your only daughter. She is a child. What are you saying?" Bridget told charming. "Exactly! it's OUR daughter as well. I have a say in this t-" "it's my word and my word only in this kingdom." Charming cut off Ella making her flinch. "Oh you do not speak to me that way you hear me?! I'm your wife. Not your peasant not your cook not your maid and most certainly not your puppet so you either calm down right this second or-" "or I'll call my guards if you want to take this the wrong way." Bridget cuts off Ella. Charming snapped out of his other self for a moment. "I'm sorry. But our daughter is not staying in our kingdom. If she wants to be a fag and let people judge her her whole life then she might as well go for it. But I won't have that in my kingdom. You hear me?" Charming says with pure anger to her wife leaving the two women speechless.

"Dad..."
