I own nothing

Chapter 1

Dinner

"Come on, Mom, hurry up! We have to go." Regina heard Henry yell from outside the bathroom.

"Yes dear, I'm almost ready!" Regina answered back as she looked at herself in the full-length mirror. She wore a nice red dress that ended just above her knees and hugged all the right curves, red lipstick and some black killer heels. Her hair looked perfect as always and her makeup looked stunning. She added a couple of final details, a pair of matching earrings, just a small amount of perfume and she was ready.

When Regina emerged from the bathroom, a loud groan came from the seventeen year old boy.

"Finally!" Henry said with a teasing smile. "Looking good, Mom, but it's time to go!" He hurried his mom.

"Thank you, sweetheart. Yes, I'm ready now." Regina said. She got her purse and off they went.

"So…what's this place called again?" Regina asked as they walked out of their hotel room to the elevator.

"Hard Rock Café, Mom," Henry repeated while he pushed the down button for the elevator.

"Oh, right." The brunette nodded. "And who is gonna be there tonight?"

"There's this singer called Emma. She's gonna be there. She's amazing!" Henry said while they stepped into the elevator and pushed the button for the main level.

"Maybe we can try and meet her after dinner or something." Henry wondered, lost in his own thoughts.

"Well, don't get your hopes up, honey. I don't want you getting let down by some singer," Regina warned as the elevator doors opened and they walked out into the lobby. "Probably a diva." She muttered under her breath.

"I won't, Mom, don't worry." Henry reassured her.

They walked out of the hotel to the café that was 'thankfully' just around the corner of their location.

"You don't even know what she looks like, or who she is, do you?" Henry asked his mother, shaking his head at his so uncool mom.

"No, I don't, sweetie," but before Regina could even blink, Henry whipped his phone out with a picture of Emma on it, almost in Regina's face.

"Pretty, isn't she?" Henry gushed with a grin on his face.

"Maybe a little too old for you, Henry."

"Not for ME. For YOU!" Henry almost yelled.

Regina looked at Henry with an eyebrow raised. "She looks at least ten years younger than me, dear." 'But she doesn't look bad at all,' not that she was going to admit that to Henry, of course.

"So? Age is just a number, Mom!" And with that, Henry placed his phone back in his pocket and walked inside the café, leaving his amused mother outside. Regina looked at the building and wondered what she had gotten herself into. 'Dining at a rock café? Anything for Henry.' She shook her head.

Once inside and when their food got served, Regina asked herself how on earth she was going to eat the half-pound burger. She normally would never even eat such a thing but she didn't seem to have much of a choice. That evening, they were only serving the basics.

The lights dimmed. Henry dropped his fork and looked up with wide eyes. Regina smiled; he looked so adorable with the expression on his face, even though at seventeen, he was starting to look more and more like a man, everyday.

"HELLO EVERYONE," a voice boomed and everyone clapped and cheered happily. Regina turned her head towards the action. There was a woman on the stage, with an (of course) Hard Rock shirt on, ripped skinny jeans and her blonde hair looked wild and messy with waves and curls in it. Regina rolled her eyes as she watched the singer.

"I hope you all are having a good dinner here tonight?!" The blonde asked the audience. There was a surprisingly rowdy response from the crowd. Regina looked around the room and back to Henry. He was beaming and that made Regina smile.

"Well tonight," the blonde went on, "I'm gonna play about three songs for you. Two songs are mine, and because I thought it went well with this island, I'm gonna do a cover of 'Tenerife Sea' for you. Considering that we ARE on Tenerife," the blonde said. The people seem to like that very much and there was loud clapping around the room. Including Henry who also joined in with a loud "YAAAAA!" Which made Regina roll her eyes again and Henry mouthed a laughing "what" at her.

Emma looked round the packed room and was more than excited with the crowd tonight. "Well, for those of you who don't know me? My name is Emma. Emma Swan. Nice to meet you!" Emma said and waved her hand up to the crowd and smiled.

"For those of you who know me but never have seen me play before. Hiiii," Emma greeted and waved her hand again.

Henry was so excited about seeing Emma Swan play live that when she said 'hi', he put his hand up to Emma and with the other, let out a piercing whistle. He received a weird look from his mother who shook her head with a smile.

"And for those of you who know me, and have seen me play before. Hiii again! Nice to see you came back for more!" Emma went on and waved hand once more.

"Okay, so the first song is an old one. One of my first songs, to be more specific. It's called 'Fire Burns' and it goes like this…" Emma announced as she looked around her and back to the band as they started playing the rock song. The people were yelling excitedly.

Regina sighed and looked at Henry who was singing along with the lyrics.

'I hope you burn,

Burn in fire

I hope you burn,

Burning in the fire.'

Listening to the lyrics, Regina rolled her eyes again and couldn't wait till she was back at the hotel. To think, she could be relaxing with a glass of wine and maybe the mystery book she had brought along, Small Town Get Away. She was dying to know how the actress and the sheriff finally got together.

When Emma finally played her own two rock songs, it was time for the last song, the cover.

You look so wonderful in your dress

I love your hair like that

The way it falls on the side of your neck

Down your shoulders and back

Regina found it surprising at how beautifully it was sung by the blonde.

We are surrounded by all of these lies

And people who talk too much

You got the kind of look in your eyes

As if no one knows anything but us

Emma was playing her acoustic guitar for the song and Regina found herself lost at the intensity on the blonde's face as she sang.

Should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

'cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

I'm so in love, so in love

So in love, so in love

As the song ended, the crowd was silent for a second and then the crowd erupted and went wild! Regina found herself moved at the sight of the blonde and the song she just played. When the singer spoke again, Regina found herself hooked at the sight.

"Alright, well I have one more surprise for you guys," Emma started talking. "I have all your table numbers over here in this bowl. I'm gonna pick one, and if you like, we're gonna spend the day together tomorrow! Would you guys like that?!" Emma asked the dining people. The crowd answered with a loud "YEESS" which made Emma laugh.

"What? I think you guys have food in your mouth. I didn't hear a thing! Let's try this again. Would you guys like that?" Emma cupped her left ear and leaned in towards the audience.

The crowd's answer could be heard from several blocks away. Henry drummed the table for emphasis, almost knocking over his glass.

"Alright... Here it goes!" Emma dug into the bowl, shuffling and shaking and took a white piece of paper out. The room got quiet.

Henry sucked in a breath as Emma unfolded the piece of paper. Regina still watched the blonde with a close eye. If she was totally honest with herself, she would not mind spending a day with the blonde but that was a secret she would never tell a soul, of course.

Both Henry and Regina watched the blonde with big eyes.

Emma finished opening the piece of paper with the table number on it.

"And the table number is..." Her drummer started playing. Emma paced across the stage, the drumming getting louder and louder.

Henry was now at the edge of his seat and Regina watched her still with big wide eyes.

"Number seventeen!" Emma half yelled with a smile.

"OH MY GOD, THAT'S US!" Henry yelled.
