"So why am I here?" Emma asked.
"Because I needed someone to watch Ruby." Mary Margret said testing the ripeness of some melons.
"But you're better at mothering Ruby not me." Emma whined, "She's already gone by the way." looking at Ruby, who was flirting with the girl who was selling carrots.
"Oh I know I'm watching her." M&M stated moving to another stand. "I really just needed you to get out of the house."
"So I'm not needed."
"Of course you are," M&M turns towards her, "I need you to carry all the bags." shoving the bag of tomatoes in her arms.
"Great, I'm just your mule."
"Uh huh." M&M agreed looking to Ruby and saw an angry woman stalking her while she flirted with the carrot girl. She didn't think twice as she calmly walked towards Ruby, leaving Emma mumbling by the melons not noticing her absence.
"Do you lift the boxes yourself?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah I do. You don't get these muscles stapling papers together." The girl winked flexing a little to show off her muscles. Ruby took the hint and felt her muscles.
"Wow nice! You got some guns on you." Ruby exclaimed.
"Thanks it's good for stamina too."
"Oh I have good stamina." Ruby winked. She touched the girls hand. "I'm Ruby by the way. Ruby Red Lucas"
"Hey Ruby the way. I'm Janet. Janet Korra Varney." Ruby chuckled.
"Ruby! Hey, we need to go." M&M walked up to them and grabbed Ruby's arm.
"Wait, no I'm not done talking to Janet." Ruby protested.
The girl perked up, "Hey give me your number." She handed her phone to Ruby.
M&M waited impatiently. She saw the girl walk up to her oblivious best friend and her latest score. "Okay." she muttered mentally willing Ruby to hurry up.
Ruby slipped the phone in Janet's back pocket and leaned in, "I look forward to seeing you again." She whispered, winking at Janet.
"Oh shit." M&M muttered.
The girl walked up. "Janet stop talking to her." She bumped Ruby and M&M out of the way.
"Hey watch it." Ruby growled.
"I saw this girl flirting with everyone here. You'll just be her conquest."
"I was having a conversation and don't watch me." Ruby glared at the girl.
"Seychelle chill okay." Janet tried.
"No stop talking to this tramp and her slutty friend."
"Shut the fuck up." Ruby growled. M&M got angry. She was angry at Ruby for not walking away and she was pissed at this mannerless bitch.
"Make me." Seychelle said.
"Leave before I rip out that pretty long hair." Ruby threatened.
"I'll love to see you try."
Ruby turned to Janet, "I'm usually not that this, but I was provoked. Sorry for doing this to your friend-"
"Whatever bitch, keep talking." Seychelle cut in.
Ruby winked at Janet turned around and punched Seychelle in the face. "Call me." She winked again before she was tackled by Seychelle.
Emma looked around for her friends. She swore she was having a full conversation with M&M a minute ago. She looked up and M&M was gone.
"I'll love to see you try." Emma heard some girl raise her voice. She looked to see Ruby whisper something to a different girl. M&M looked to see wanted to punch something. Hard. She had to stop this, if M&M was upset then something's wrong. Ruby and her were hot tempered and M&M was the only one that could calm them down. She started walking towards them.
" Excuse me miss?" Emma turned and saw nothing. "Do you want to try a cookie?" Emma looked down at the little boy in front of her. He was carrying a tray of cookies.
"Uh-" She started.
"They're not bad I swear!" He offered one to her. "My mom's friend made them and she's almost as good as my mom." His pleaded, "Please try one." He pouted.
Emma tried, she really did, but she couldn't say no to his cute little face. "Okay kid, I'll try one." she grabbed a cookie.
He watched on waiting for her to take a bite. She looked around to find her friends. When she noticed the little boy didn't leave yet she took a bite. "Mhmm. This is good what's in-" She started tasting peanuts. "Um... uh." She dropped the cookie and tried to breathe. She was having an allergic reaction to the peanuts and her throat was closing. She didn't carry her epi-pen, M&M did, and M&M wasn't there.
"Mom! Mom! Mom!" the little boy ran to his mother.
M&M turned to check on Emma, she was no longer interested in the fight. She saw a boy run away calling his mother and her best friend collapse to the floor. "Emma!" She yelled. She made to run but was tripped by a stray leg from one of the girls on the floor. She fell on Seychelle and Ruby, still seeing red and punching whatever that was close to them. "Ow dammit Ruby!" She yelled after getting punched in the stomach. She scrambled to get up, pushing both girls off each others in the process. "Emma!" She yelled again.
"What?" Ruby looked to what M&M was running at. "Oh no." she said running after M&M.
Emma was about to lose conscious, she knew this. Her eyes were watering, her throat was closing and her cheeks were swelling. She heard her name being called and felt her head being lifted as she passed out.
By the time M&M and Ruby made their way to Emma, she was already getting pricked by the epi-pen.
"There you go." a voice said as they started tapping Emma's face to wake her up. "Come on. Breathe in and out. You can do it." She said softly.
Emma coughed loud and took a deep breath. She felt her cheeks go down and her throat open. She opened her eyes and was hit by cupid's arrow.
The woman had to a be goddess. She had short brunette hair that was pulled into a pony tail. She had a gorgeous face with chocolate eyes and a scar on her lip. For a second Emma thought she starting hearing 'Girl be selling sunshine' from that show she and Ruby made M&M watch this morning.
"Are you okay?" The goddess asked concerned.
Emma opened her mouth to speak but couldn't. Because one, she didn't have any words and two, M&M cut her off.
"Oh my god Emma!" Ruby and M&M picked her up off the woman's lap, not hearing Emma groan of disapproval. "Are you okay?" M&M said checking her face and neck for any swelling. The woman stood up along her.
"Dude you scared us." Ruby said trying to get her attention. Emma was still staring at the woman. "Oh. Oh, thank you for saving Emma's life." Ruby said looking the woman up and down.
M&M looked at the woman. "Yes thank you so much!" She shook her hand.
"You're welcome. It wasn't a big deal." the woman said.
"Yes it was."
"Yea girl you're like a hero now." Ruby added. She took the woman's hand from M&M "I'm Ruby."
"Oh right I'm Mary Margret, but you can call me M&M."
Ruby pulled away when Emma coughed. She didn't like the look Ruby was giving this goddess. "Hey I'm Emma." She casually greeted. She had to pay this cool, she didn't want to seem desperate. She looked down and saw the little boy peaking from the older woman's dress and looked back to the woman quickly making the connection. "Oh you're 'mom' then." She chuckled.
The woman chuckled and Emma decided that it's her favorite sound. "Actually, I'm well known by Regina."
"Regina." Emma repeated.
"Yes and this," she pulled the boy out from behind her, "is Henry."
Emma looked back down at the boy. "Hello Henry." She greeted.
"I'm sorry for almost killing you!" Henry rushed out, tears in his eyes. He buried his face deeper into his mother's dress.
"Hey it's okay kid." Emma said.
"Sorry he has a big heart and tends to get emotional sometimes." Regina whispered to Emma.
Emma nodded, "It's okay Henry really." she kneeled down. "I'm fine." He peeked his head out. "See?" she made a face making him giggle.
"You two should come hang out with us. We're about to go eat some lunch." Ruby suggested.
"Yea to say thank you of course." M&M added, Ruby and Emma nodded.
"Um." Regina said looking down at her son who was nodding excitedly. "Uh okay just give us a moment to pack up." She turned and walked back to a booth with a guy in it. Regina said something to the man while taking off Henry's and Her own aprons. She handed them to the man as he asked her a question, she pointed over her shoulder to the three women. The guy looked to the women and Emma knew she stared to long.
Emma turned to look at her roommates. M&M was digging in her purse, probably looking for her keys, Ruby was looking at Regina well looking at Regina's backside. Emma looked closely at Ruby and saw that she had a bruise on her chin and leg. She winced a little from what Emma guessed was a bruise on her stomach.
Emma caught her attention, "How did the fight go?"
Ruby looked at her, put her arm around Emma and showed her who she was fighting for. "The fight went great, she's so hot!" she said excitedly.
"Which one?"
"That one." Ruby pointed to the dark skin woman with an awesome body. "you can't tell from here, but she has the most gorgeous blue eyes." Ruby sighed dreamily.
"Wow you seem a bit smitten." Emma teased as she as wiggled her eyebrows at Ruby.
"Do you even know her name." M&M asked coming into the conversation. Regina and Henry back up to the girls, but no one noticed.
"Janet Korra Varney." Ruby said, "If I play my card right though in a few years she'll be Janet Lucas. Oh who am I kidding she'll be wanting that after the first date."
"Someone's a little confident in their abilities in the bedroom." Emma chuckled, M&M joined in.
Emma wiggled in Ruby's hold "You gonna show her your special tricks?" she laughed teasing the brunette.
"Hey my sex game is on point okay. You two know by now that whenever I bring someone home they're louder than M&M when David comes around." Ruby said smirking.
Emma and Ruby started laughing at M&M blushing face.
"Can we not talk about my sex life right now?" She said in a pitched voice.
"Please?" Regina said.
In unison the three of them turned around with 'oops' faces when they noticed Regina was covering Henry's ears.
"Sorry." M&M said at the same time Ruby and Emma said, "Oh shit." M&M glared at them "Sorry again." she apologized to the mother.
"It's fine." Regina said smirking at their antics. She uncovered Henry's ears.
"Alright let's go then." M&M said heading for the car.
While walking towards the car Henry ran up to Emma and grabbed her hand. She looked down at him to get an explanation but only got silence as he stare ahead. She softly smiled at him then faced forward. Ruby, when they passed the carrot stand, winked at Janet and started flirting with her again. That is until Emma grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the car, Ruby mouthed 'call me' and waved at the girl before turning back to the front. Regina saw Ruby and Emma and chuckled quietly, she looked at her son who was grinning at Emma adoringly. Well seems like he found a new best friend, she thought.
She smiled softly at the blonde.
