Hey! This is my first real fanfic. Hope you like it!

Willa's POV

The green fairy is right there, I feel the cold air going into my lungs, and if it's too much to say, thanks to the years of battling, I had developed some sort of claustrophobia, it was mild, but this room was smaller than what I could handle. Wait… someone's calling me, "Willa?", I knew that voice. It's the guy that makes me want to keep fighting even if all my bones are broken, the guy that makes me lie awake at night the days we aren't on duty, that simple read-headed guy that sometimes makes me feel as if I'm on a roller coaster, or… perhaps I am in a roller coaster of love… not sure. I've had a hard time trusting people since… well, I'd rather not talk about it.

"Willa?" he called again

I was shaking, I felt scared, images in my head swirled, his eyes suddenly closing as he stopped breathing, yet I could still hear his voice…

"Willa wake up!" I boldly sat upright, the images still in my head, tears in my eyes. I opened them and there he was, beside me, one hand softly rubbing the tears off my face. "What happened?" I asked, and then it hit me: we were in 1955 trying to get Walt's pen where it belonged.

"Willa, the others are doing their missions. I'm supposed to help Wayne, but I found you lying here on my way there. You must've passed out, are you okay?"

I wanted so badly to just fall into his arms, but unfortunately, now was not the time. I tried squinting my eyes to contain the tears from falling, but it barely worked.

"You're safe," he said and gave me a light kiss on the cheek. It felt like a dream, but yet, we managed to go 60 years back in time… anything could happen, I suppose. "let's just go inside." he took my hand and helped me up, smiled at me and we stepped inside one of the safe rooms for us to stay.

Philby's POV

I helped her sit down and I realized she was freezing, didn't make much sense since it was, or is July, but she was shivering hard, so I gave her a blanket I found in a corner. She had no idea how desperate I was when I found her, for my "sort of secret" feelings for her have only grown through time. I don't know what I'd do if I lost her. As I sat next to her, she dropped a few tears again.

"Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" I whispered in her ear and gave her a soft kiss on her cheekbone. When I was with her alone I always felt the need to be gentle, even though she's very strong I knew she was easily hurt.

"Dell, can I t-tell you something?" She was extremely nervous. I liked it when she called me Dell, but only, and only! if it came from her. "Ok," I replied. I knew that whatever I was about to hear from her, it couldn't be good, so I tried calming her down by soothing her hair. It worked a bit. She took a deep breath and started talking.

Willa's POV

I was so scared to spill my guts and my entire life backstory to someone, but I knew I had to (there's a first time for everything, I guess). I knew I wasn't going to be able to live like this anymore. Besides, I would rather do it with him more than with anyone else. Of course, he didn't know that.

Well, here goes nothing.

"When I was little, life was simple and happy. I had two amazingly loving parents and two sneaky but great little brothers. I felt safe and confident to accomplish anything. The day I turned 13, in a matter of hours, my whole world turned upside down. The morning went fine. We were all happy and my parents gave me a locket with a picture of all of us. My mom was a bit quiet but everything was fine. When my dad was taking us to school because my birthday had to be a school day, we were having a good time listening to music in the car. But then this crazy woman crashed th-the car a-nd... we all h-had to go the hospital," My voice cracked and I started sobbing quietly, he wrapped his arms around me and cuddled me a bit with the blanket. He was so warm… Oh god, I love him a lot.

"I don't want to sound pushy, but sometimes, it's best to let everything out. If you feel like it, you should keep going," he said. Aw jingles, he's right. "It can be so annoying when you're right, you know," I said, and he laughed a bit. It was so sweet and adorable and… concentrate Willa ! Sorry, got a little distracted. I rested my head in his chest, still crying, but I calmed down a bit so I could keep talking.

"So we got to the hospital, luckily my brothers and I were fine, we have scars but we're fine," I pulled my sleeve and flipped my arm so he could see the scar, "but my dad now has a limp because he has injured badly on his right leg. When my mom came to check on us she was… I don't know how to explain it, she looked depressed and mad, of course, her entire family had just been in a car crash but she still looked different. She always blames the car crash on me, says that if I hadn't been distracted none of that would've happened-"

"But you weren't the only one in the car," He said

"I pointed that out once, then she pulled me aside and- … I can't even get it out of my mouth I-"

"Willa," he lifted my chin so I could see him, and he smiled. I tried to smile back, but I felt too much pain to do it. He grabbed my hand and kissed it softly. He was so sweet. "maybe I went too far…"

"No, no ! I've been wanting to get it out of me anyway, but it's hard I guess…" I looked down, trying to find something else. "She pulled me down to the basement which was filled with suspicious junk, grabbed a knife, and put it to my throat… told me that if I ever made one little mistake my brothers and dad would be gone. It was like she was a whole other person. I didn't understand what that meant at the time but I was terrified" I felt shivers down my spine.

"She and my dad got divorced and I barely see her. Not that I want to see her, so… yeah. After a few years, my dad and I discovered she was the crazy lady. She had anxiety and depression and never told anyone, so to get rid of her problems she went on drugs, which explained why she always arrived home late. On the day of the crash, she actually wanted to kill herself, and since she didn't succeed and injured us instead, she went mad.

"She had this whole big box full of marijuana. I guess she was also on drugs when the whole 'knife incident' happened. She's in jail now, and well, we're supposed to have 'no fear' but I'm always going to be terrified, so… yeah that's it." Suddenly I felt sad but calm. I looked at him and said, "That's the reason why many things changed in me: I had to be a sister and a mother at the same time for my brothers, a good student to make my dad proud of his little girl, a good Kingdom keeper to save this entire place, and a good person to feel satisfied doing all of this without giving up because I've been close many times."

There it is. I let everything out. I looked at him, he had a tear in the corner of his eye.

3rd person POV

He understood now, Willa was scared of taking risks because of what she had gone through. He wrapped her up as tight as he could, not letting her go. She started sobbing again.

"I'm so sc-cared" She whispered in his ear. She rested her head on his shoulder and looked up at him. "I finally gathered the courage to trust other people besides the family I have left and I really really care about you, all of you, and well, what if we go back and… and we d-don't know each other" Philby listened carefully to every word. She took a breath and managed to get out:

"I don't want to lose you"

Those tears in his eyes finally started to come out. He felt her pain, life hadn't been easy for any of them during these years, however, her case was disastrous.

"You know, sometimes I can be a bit like Oscar the grouch," This made her giggle, who knew he would be the kind of guy to reference Sesame Street. "but, I think we might have a way out of this." He smiled. Even if her vision was blurry, she saw a little bit of hope in his eyes. He smiled that sweet smile that always made her heart melt.

"Let me guess, some sort of sciencey thingy made with whosits and whatzits, huh?" he giggled and lifted her chin "look, we might need some thingamabobs to get back to the present but that's not what I meant"

what on earth is he talking about, I mean, it's Dell, right? The person that everyone says doesn't have feelings, to the point where sometimes I start to believe it, but yet he makes me so happy and I just can't help but picture him as… wonderful. Willa thought. "What did you mean then?" She asked.

"There's that one thing that, if Disney is right, always prevails" He brought Willa's face closer to his, they were both shaking nervously, yet neither of them moved. They brought their foreheads together, their lips only mere inches apart, and were both smiling. "What's that?" She asked. His answer?

"Love".

She leaned in fiercely, finally being able to fulfill that hidden desire of kissing the love of her life. As their lips crushed together, fireworks could be heard in the distance (or maybe it was just in their heads). Willa felt the kiss turn slowly more gentle. She couldn't think, she could only feel him and his lips on hers, it felt… lovely. Magical. Like she was the luckiest girl in the world just because she was loved. Guess true love's first kiss always feels that way.

It felt so bad to cut the kiss but they needed air. They could only focus on each other, nothing else mattered. They both smiled. Both forgot about everything else: no missions, no saving the world, nothing. This very moment was just about them.

Just them.

"We're going to make it home, Willa." Philby said while gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "once we do, we'll start a new chapter in our lives and I promise you, you'll be very happy. And with a little bit of faith perhaps your life will be a dream come true"

Willa teared up a bit with his words. Even so, she believed him.

"You know there is still one thing I'm uncertain of" He tilted slightly his head in confusion.

"Dell, um…" She looked straight into his eyes and gathered the strength she needed to say this. "My dream wouldn't be complete...without you in it" He was completely shocked with a wave of love. After a few seconds, he could finally catch his breath.

"Well then," He replied, and pecked her lips quickly again.

"I would love to be a part of it"
