Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
And a secret is taught, it's our favorite part of the story
Let's just admit we all want to make it too
Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away
She wanted to scream. Or Shout. Or Bash her head into a wall. She couldn't quite decide. All she knew was once again she'd destroyed the best thing that had happened to her. Why? Well that was the question wasn't it? She didn't know why. She didn't understand what had forced her to leave his arms and flee. The song that came over the speakers made her freeze in her attempt to flee to the exit. She managed to hide herself away on the sidewall knowing Ziva was behind her somewhere. Her heart tugged at her as the song's upbeat tempo carried through the room, a definite change from the previous song and yet the words never rang more true. What she had just had, for those brief minutes was a fairy tale and if there was one thing Jennifer Shepard had learned it was that fairy tales did not come true, even if she wanted them to. She knew the pain in her heart was familiar for a reason. She had felt it grow exponentially stronger with each step she had taken off a certain plane in
Starting your fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what's real just by making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up being glad to be you
Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you it's not smart
Ever ever after
It took him all of about thirty seconds, really the transitions of songs and the new lyrics to remind him that unlike the last time he had felt that feeling, he knew how to fix it. He knew where to find her this time. Tony and McGee she could slip easily, Ziva, not so much, and she would have told him if Jenny had left. So the fact of the matter was his Cinderella? NO definitely not. Snow White? Nope, not even close. Well Jenny, that works. So his Jenny to put it very simply was somewhere beyond those doors and really all he had to go was go and get her. And tell her why she can't walk away, that's not a problem, right? A little voice taunted. And he knew it was a problem, because he wasn't the talkative type. He didn't like emotions they were... complicated. Only as complicated as you make them, the voice reminded and really he hadn't had the problem, the words were on the tip of his tongue when he had her in his arms so, solution, go get her. He knew that whatever happened it wasn't going to be easy, and probably not the best idea they ever had, but then again, when had any of this been easy? He took a deep breath and walked back through the doors.
The world can be yours if you let your heart
Believe in ever after
She wasn't that far from the exit when she realized she couldn't do it. Okay so maybe she had been stronger eight years ago, maybe she hadn't know what she wanted, maybe she hadn't ever considered how miserable she would be, but now she knew. She knew what life could be like without him and she didn't like it, plain and simple. So how do you fix it? Well that was the question of the hour, because she really wasn't the type to ask for a second chance, or is it a third?
No wonder your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through
So okay he was worried. He thought she would be easy to find in the dress, she was the best looking woman there, but that was just turning out to be a little bit more difficult then he'd expected. He was half tempted to ask DiNozzo and the others if they'd seen her when he felt the soft touch on his arm. He turned in the direction and found what he'd bee looking for.
"Dance with me?" She asked softly holding out her hand.
"To this?" He queried.
To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
"To every song," she replied trying to put everything she felt into her eyes as they met his blue ones.
"I'm not a very good dancer," he responded taking her hand. She gave his hand a small tug in her direction.
"Neither am I."
Ever ever after
Maybe it's just one wish away
"Don't walk away."
"Never ever again," she promised as they stepped out onto the patio away from the prying eyes. He took in her his arms and tried to figure out how to dance to this one. She wrapped her arms around his neck and his natural fell to her waist and they swayed slowly to music in their own heads.
Your ever ever after
Ever ever ever after
She tilted her head up her emerald eyes meeting his blue ones. She stood on her tiptoes pressing a kiss to his mouth, soft and hesitant. She was just about to pull away when he tightened his hold on her and responded to the kiss deepening it.
I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
The music drifted off around them but the melody floated around them continuously, their kisses soft and tender, knowing they couldn't progress until they were much farther away. Still the touch they'd each longed for was within reach and they were both afraid if they let go this time, it would disappear into fairy dust. So they kept their kiss going, and as kisses go, it definitely made the top five.
Oh, for ever ever after
Author's Note: You guys didn't seriously think I wouldn't give you kisses, did you? The rest of the stories probably won't be connected but I couldn't just leave you all hanging with "So Close." I hope you all loved it. I promise from now it's going to be pure Disney Fluffiness which is probably more fluff than I can usually take, but hey, apparently I'm the Goddess of it now. The other song fic collection will be updated with fluff, but less than Disney Rated Fluff, more adult rated fluff, I guess you could say.
