"Hey Emma."

Emma looked up from playing with her guitar strings and was greeted by the smile of her girlfriend.

"I packed your bags."

"Why?" Emma asked confused.

Regina gently stroked the blonde's cheek before pressing her lips against her forhead. "We're going to California...Malibu to be exact."

Emma looked around her in awe. She had never been to a beach before. She wanted to, but she came from a poor family and they never had enough money to travel down to the beach and there were no beaches near them.

"What do you think?" Regina asked.

"Why....Why did we come here?"

Regina slipped her hand into Emma's and pulled the blonde close to her side.

"You always talked about wanting to go to the beach...So I took you to the best one...Well to me it's the best one...I'm happy I get to experience your first time at a beach with you."

Emma sat down, pulling Regina down with her gently. The older woman rested her head on Emma's shoulder as they watched the waves collide with the sand as the sun began to set. The only sound being the waves until Emma began to sing softly.

I never came to the beach or stood by the ocean
I never sat by the shore under the sun with my feet in the sand
But you brought me here and I'm happy that you did
'Cause now I'm as free as birds catching the wind

I always thought I would sink, so I never swam
I never went boatin', don't get how they are floatin'
And sometimes I get so scared of what I can't understand

But here I am
Next to you
The sky is more blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you

We watched the sun go down as we were walking
I'd spend the rest of my life just standing here talking
You would explain the current, as I just smile
Hoping I just stay the same and nothing will change
And it'll be us, just for a while
Do we even exist?
That's when I make the wish
To swim away with the fish

Is it supposed to be this hot all summer long?
I never would've believed you
If three years ago you told me
I'd be here writing this song

But here I am
Next to you
The sky is so blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you

Next to you
The sky is so blue
In Malibu
Next to you

We are just like the waves that flow back and forth
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning and you're there to save me
And I wanna thank you with all of my heart
It's a brand new start
A dream come true
In Malibu

As Emma finished singing Regina turned her head to look at her girlfriend.

"That was amazing."

"I just freestyled that." Emma laughed.

Regina laughed too before kissing Emma's lips slowly. She pulled away with a huge grin on her face.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
