== Magic In This Spot ==
1951 - Halcyon City Nature Park 
I hiked up the path, spotted a lovely tree to sit by pulling out a picnic cloth and took a seat on it and said "we'll eat here."
'''
Mara smiled at me taking a seat "A second date with resident good girl, Elena Russo."
'''
I gave her a coy grin "Oh and secret greaser Mara le Fay is somehow less out of character."
'''
Mara teased back putting her fingers through my hair "You knew more about my motorcycle then me. And you're the one who leaned in to kiss me."
'''
I blushed a bit, I knew I didn't want any confusion of what I wanted from her. She was worth breaking the rules for. She grabbed my cross necklace and asked "so what's all this about, I assumed you were devoted until we went on our date."
'''
I giggled a bit and looked up at the clouds "oh no, I don't believe in this or anything else dor that matter. Everything about me is fake, your dating a doll."
'''
Mara looked at me like my words meant something to her way more then I'd have expected. She grabbed my hand "you're not all fake I saw your real self when we roller skated."
'''
I started pulling food out from the basket asking her "I'm not sure.  I don't know what's real anymore. Me wanting to date you is real, that's all I know."
'''
Mara pulled me next to the tree and kissed me. She said after pulling away "girls like us, we have to survive if you need to be a doll. I support you."
'''
I flinch a bit, not at the kiss that was nice but realizing that Mara might not see me as a girl if I told her my most hidden secret. I was falling in a cavern of despair suddenly. What
If she broke it off cuz she only liked women or what if worse she stayed together but expected me to live my life as something more acceptable to be together as. I was panting, not talking, clearly having a panic attack, my heart raced. Mara grabbed my hand "It's okay, I don't care what secrets you have. I probably have done worse, my mother most certainly has."
'''
I took a deep breath then blurted out tears in my eyes "I wasn't always seen as a girl, when I was born they got it wrong but my first mom then my new parents have all supported me and I've lived as a girl most my life so please accept me."
'''
Mara smiled, she didn't seem to flinch and said softly "I'd have accepted you if you decided it just today. You're a woman Elena and a damn cute one too."
'''
I hugged her tightly crying on her, she held me there not letting go even though it took me forever to get over. When I was done I grabbed her hands affirming myself "good, if that woulda been a problem you wouldn't have been worth dating."
'''
Mara grinned at me but let me have it. She took a bite of my sandwich and cheered "Wow, I'm lucky you're my gal cuz I never expected anyone to cook for me this good."
'''
I was so happy, cooking wasn't something I adapted to be a proper woman, it was a passion that slowly started to feel like a chore.  However, if I could watch Mara eat my food I think I'd get excited about it again. 
'''
We ate together for a while. Mara said after a happy silence "I have secrets too. Their a big deal...but even though we just started dating I feel like I can trust you. Maybe it's the location."
'''
Mara held her palm in front of my face and suddenly fire rested in it only to vaish seconds later. Mara explained "I'm magic Elena, real magic, magic is real and I can do it."
'''
I stand up cheering "that's amazing!"
'''
Then put my hand over my mouth and whispered "I knew you were magical."
'''
Mara plopped down on the blanket and I plop beside her. She laughed a bit and turned to her side saying "that's the full reaction to magic being real."
'''
I turned to my own side staring her in the eyes "should it not be? I don't want to be too excited it might come at a cost but it's also very hot."
'''
Mara said utterly enthusiastic "I never thought I'd get to date let alone someone as wonderful as you. Elena lets come here all the time. I got lots more secrets to tell and I bet you do too. This spot could be our little queendom."
'''
I smiled, someone to share my secret feelings with. That would be nice, each would be hard for her, all of them locked up so tight but maybe with Mara's help it gets easier.  
== One Last Gift ==
1955 - Big High 
'''
She looked longingly at Elena. They were broken up but she wasn't over her. They were graduating and her mother had plans for her. Plans that could hurt Elena. If she knew that she truly loved Elena she might use her as a test, still might. Proof of loyalty or a loose end to tie up. Morgan was a decent mother for the times. She supported the relationship but only if it didn't interfere with her vision. Now, it was done. 
'''
Mara grabbed Elena and said "Hey E, you look beautiful."
'''
Elena looked away, "you too Mara."
'''
Mara let go of her and said softly, her voice clearly trying to call on nostalgia "I want to give you one last kiss if that's okay."
'''
Elena grabbed her and kissed her, letting it linger. Long enough for Mara's spell to work. Mara had to protect her and this would. Unleashing magic potential was risky but if anyone can handle it it was her Elena. 
'''
Mara gave Elena a weak smile: "Live a long life my beautiful dame, I'll miss you."
'''
Elena grabbed Mara "what the hell Mara, you can't just treat me nice after treating me like gunk on a sockhop floor. I can't just go have a milkshake or some pop and feel better about this. I kissed you because I wanted to. I'll be as safe as I want to too. If you don't want me in your life don't pretend you do right before we stop crossing paths. Bye, enjoy whatever it is you won't trust me with."
'''
Elena's eyes were tearing up. Mara desperately wanted to hug her, to tell her she was sorry but she deserved it. Elena deserved a happy normal life, with her it was impossible. Running away to the USSR, that wasn't an option. Elena's first mom might have been some cool rebel she admired but Elena wasn't made for that. She was a princess, she was everything Mara wasn't. 
'''
Mara turned around and walked off leaving Elena with a cold "I will."
Mara knew this was right, the spell would keep her safe if she ever needed it. Mara just hoped that Elena never did.
