I've done something a little different; I have taken an idea for a story, and turned it into an AU SwanQueen Fanfiction instead of vice versa.

I would like to thank Jokerssmile for all of her hard work in editing and kicking my butt I mean encouraging me to finish writing this story.

I hope you all enjoy and remember reviews are great and it helps to post faster! LOL Thanks for taking the time to give my story a whirl.

Chapter 1

Sighing dramatically, Regina continued to drive toward Darling, Maine to the city's 2nd annual comic- con. "I don't know why I'm doing this, Zelena; I have so much work to do. I don't have time to waste driving for this… this foolishness of yours."

Rolling her eyes from the back seat, Zelena ignored her sister and continued her conversation with Belle. "And look here, Robin the gorgeous hunk from "Backwoods Hijacker" will be there as well as Aurora from that sexy show 'Beauty Awakens'.

"Oh I love that show, it puts 50 Shades to shame!" Belle said excited.

"I know! I love adult fairytales they're so sexy and provocative!" Zelena agreed as she continued to flip through the program of the celebrities that will be attending this year's comic-con.

"Is that why you're wearing that shear outfit, Zelena? Are you cosplaying?" Ashley asked looking back at the redhead from the passenger seat.

Zelena chuckled, "possibly, you never know what might catch the right person's eye."

"Oh god," Regina grumbled from the driver's seat. "Those people don't see you. There will be hundreds of crazy fans there. They'll fake smile and sign pictures and move on to the next, they don't care what you look like, nor do they care about you. They get paid to smile and pretend because they're actors. You're a grown woman, Zelena, why you think that attending such a ridiculous event will find you a man or a part in a show I'll never know."

"You take the biscuit Regina, this is supposed to be fun, and you're ruining it for everyone." Zelena called out to her sister.

"Remind me again why is it that I'm driving you all there in the first place? I could be at the office working instead!"

"You know as well as I that Sean has the car so Ashley couldn't drive, Belle doesn't have a car and mine only seats two. Besides, you work too much, Regina. Ever since Mother passed, you haven't taken a moment for yourself."

"I have a lot of responsibilities, Zelena, something that you wouldn't understand."

"I help out where I'm needed. I could help out more if you would let me. Besides, you need a day to loosen up and this is how you're going to do it. And the chick you fancy will be there."

"Who?" Both Belle and Ashley asked in unison.

"Emma Swan, the blonde from that detective show. Regina has every episode on the PVR and watches them over and over."

"Zelena," Regina warned with a low growl.

"What? You do! Don't try and deny it. Ask her how many times she's watched the episode where Emma Swan gets shot. I think she cries ev..."

"Zelena, enough, or I'm turning the car around and going back to Storybrooke!"

"Fine," Zelena answered with a huff then mouthed to the other two 'every time she cries' which earned her quiet giggles from Belle. "And," Zelena continued in a whisper. "It was the selling point to get Regina to drive us."

"I heard that." Regina grumbled from the driver's seat.

"It's true, admit it, she's the reason you're going. And the celebs do care; if it weren't for their fans then they wouldn't have a job."

Darling, Maine wasn't a big city but it was second to Portland and was fast becoming the place to go in Maine, with the new business sector and new restaurants popping up all over, the city was booming.

Once they arrive in Darling, Regina headed straight to the convention centre parking lot.

"Why are there no cars here?" Regina asked as she pulled into the closest parking spot. "Are we in the right place? Is this the correct day?"

"Well, it doesn't start for a couple of hours yet." Zelena replied with a grimace.

"WHAT?" Regina yelled out as she looked back at her sister with anger. "What do you mean? Explain now."

"Well y'see Regina, Ashley's man is working security at the door so we can get in early to check out the place and maybe get to see some celebs before it starts. Isn't that great?"

"Yeah the Darling convention doesn't have the biggest of stars coming here, security isn't tight, and so he can let us in early without getting into trouble." Ashely explained.

"Are you kidding me? I cancelled a meeting to leave early. I could have kept it and still have made it here on time. Zelena you knew…" Regina sighed in frustration. "You know what? Forget it. I'm going to go over to that café across the street until it starts."

"Aw c'mon Sis, don't be like that. Come in with us at least so Sean can stamp your hand. And if there's no one there for us to see then we'll all go over to the café. Okay? Please for me?"

Running her hand through her hair, Regina slowly counted to ten to calm down before she replied. Since she moved back to Storybrooke, her doctor told her that she needed to slow down and take it easy because the stress would be detrimental to her health. She's been working seven days a week for months working both of her parent's two businesses in Storybrooke.

She had left Storybrooke when she graduated from high school and never looked back. She received her business degree at Harvard and worked at one of the most prestigious consulting firms in New York for ten years before taking a leave of absence to be with her father when he became ill. When her father passed away two months later she stayed on in Storybrooke to help her mother with the family businesses, her father's café, Thanks a Latte and her mother's accounting firm Magnate Accounting.

During this time, Regina's mother confessed to having another child before she married Regina's father. And that she had found this daughter, and had been in contact the last two years.

It wasn't long after the confession when Cora became ill, she asked for her long lost daughter to come and see her. It took only a day before Zelena arrived in Storybrooke meeting Regina for the first time at Cora's death bed.

Finding out she had a half-sister was a shock at first but then she thought it would be nice to have a sister to talk to. When meeting for the first time, Regina was blown away with this outrageous, flamboyant red headed English woman. She was crass, loud, and shameless. It was obvious that Cora Mills never raised her, as the woman in front of her was the complete opposite of anything Cora would expect from a daughter. Yet she was so happy to see her she never corrected her foul language, mannerisms, anything that was ingrained from day one with Regina.

At first, watching the two together Regina was angry and jealous because no matter what she did or how much she accomplished, nothing was good enough for Cora and with Zelena, she could do no wrong. Leaving the two women alone, Regina left the hospital and when she arrived back hours later, her mother had passed. That was over a year ago now and she and Zelena have a complicated relationship but they get a long and that was enough for them.

"Fine, we'll go inside the arena." Regina replied as she got out of the car and followed the three to the Darling Convention Centre.

Sean was standing outside having a smoke break when he saw the four women approach. Dropping the butt to the ground he steps on it and walked towards his girlfriend. "Hey, Ashley," He greeted with a hug and kiss. "Good day ladies. Are you all ready for the comic-con? They say there's going to be a huge turnout this year."

"Yes!" they all said in unison, all but Regina who just rolled her eyes.

Chuckling more at Regina than with the enthusiasm the others had, he stamped they're hands and let them inside the building. "Try not to cause any trouble, this is an easy gig, and the pay is decent I don't want to lose it." He explained as he looked at Zelena.

"Don't worry dear, we'll be good!" She replied with a smirk knowing full well she's the one to cause the most trouble.

The Darling Centre was relatively large but it wasn't close in comparison to the big cities and their comic-con events though. There were tables and chairs lined up around the room against the walls which continued along the far end of the room as if in a horseshoe which were now cordoned off. There were gigantic posters of the TV series and movies that were being represented by those who starred or co-starred in said shows. Merchandise stands were still being set up in the middle of the arena and people were milling about not caring or noticing the group of women walking in.

"Oh look over there! That's where Robin will be sitting; they have his billboard set up. Isn't he handsome?" Zelena gushed as she walked over towards the Backwoods Hijacker area.

Regina watched as the three walked to the far right side of the room while she meandered around towards the front. She stopped when she came to the large poster of the TV show, Pen & Coop staring Emma Swan and August Booth.

Zelena was right, though Regina would never admit it; she does have a small crush on Emma Swan. The long blonde hair with her signature curls, tank tops that show her muscular arms and her fierce green eyes that Regina could get lost in if she ever managed to meet face to face. She wasn't the type of person who came to these types of things nor go after a celebrity for their autograph but she was a little bit excited to actually see a few stars today.

A loud exchange between a few people behind the stage area caught Regina's attention as she continued along the room. Not paying close attention but it seemed to Regina that someone was having an argument and telling off their assistant, 'probably a spoiled actor who's not getting their way', she thought to herself.

Glancing across the way looking for Zelena and the others, Regina walked in front of a pathway leading backstage and bumped into another person who also wasn't looking and fell back against a beverage cart. The feeling of lukewarm liquid down her neck onto her blouse made her look up quickly and when she did, she saw the most beautiful green eyes she'd ever seen.

"Holy shit, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there!" The green eyed woman blurted out. "Are you all right?"

"Um, uh, yes! Yes, I'm fine are you all right?" Regina asked as she sorted herself out and stood back up. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going and now look, your shirt is ruined, and you've spilled your coffee."

"OH hey, no it was my fault, really and yeah I'm kinda in a mess here and I got some on you too. Sorry."

"Again no it was me; I'm not even supposed to be in here yet. I do apologize." Regina continued as she reached in her purse for a few tissues to offer the blonde woman. "I'm so sorry about your clothes."

"It's all right really I just bought it at the café across the road and told them I would wear it for them. I have other clothes so no worries there." Emma Swan replied when she took the offered tissues and wiped at her neck and arm. "Thanks."

"I feel like a complete fool for even being here. I should go." Regina said as she looked around for her sister and the others but didn't see them anywhere with more and more people walking about.

"SWAN! EMMA? What are you doing? You need to be backstage right now!" Emma's manager, Sydney Glass yelled out as he walked into the convention centre from the back entrance.

"Christ Sydney, can't you see that I'm talking to someone?" Emma barked back then turns to apologize to Regina but she was already gone. "Where did she go?"

"Emma! C'mon! What the hell happened to your shirt?" Sydney asked, as he got closer to her, "And what someone, who did this to you?"

"It was an accident Syd; I bumped into a woman who I was then talking to until you rudely interrupted. I already told you I was going to get out from back there and take a walk. You are not my keeper; you don't even do these shows so stop hounding me and get out of my face!"

"I don't want to be here either Swan, but your dear husband couldn't make it. But when the organizers and the press want to speak with you then you speak with them. C'mon!"

"Only on paper," Emma mumbled as Sydney turned away from her.

"What?"

Taking a deep breath and slowly releasing it, Emma turned and walked towards backstage. "You heard me but let's not get into this now, if the press want to ask a few questions so be it. Let's get going."
