So I've been trying to figure out how to write a story with Regina/Robin/Daniel story but I can't figure out how do it in Storybrooke and keeping with the show time line. I am doing a take on this completely AU. I hope you enjoy.

PROLOGUE

Twenty year old Regina was out at party with her friends and her high school boyfriend Daniel. The party was for Daniel, it was his going away party to work with animal specialists in Africa.

Daniel's roommate turned down the stereo, "Alright guys, I know we are all having a good time but let's make a toast to the man of the night Daniel. We are gonna miss you. This is for you." Lance raised his glass to Daniel.

Daniel who had his arm wrapped around Regina raised his glass to Lance, "I'll miss you too buddy." The tall brunette leaned towards the young brunette. "and I'll miss you." He whispered in her ear.

After four years of dating he still makes Regina's heart race. She looked into his blue eyes and fought a tear that wanted to fall. "I'll miss you more."

"I'll be back, I'm going to mingle." He smirked as he unwrapped his arm around his love. He kissed her cheek before parting ways with her.

Regina sat down next Mulan and rested her head on Mulan's shoulder. Mulan brushed Regina's hair back, "It's okay it's only a year." She explained.

"I know, but do you know how many things can happen in a year." Regina finally expressed her upset of her boyfriend's decisions.

The night slowed down as the guests were saying all of their goodbyes. Daniel closed the door to the final person to see Regina cleaning up the mess. He smiled at the sight of his love, he quickly moved to through the room to place his hands on her hips. "I believe you owe me a walk and a dance and a kiss." Daniel starting to name off things that needs from Regina.

Regina immediately dropped the trash bag needing to be held her love. She turned around to pull him for a passionate kiss that they didn't share all night. They were savoring the tastes of each other needing to remember before he left. Regina broke the kiss, "I owe you a walk you say?" She questioned, as she grabbed his hand walking them to the door.

"Why yes ma'am you do, come on let's get out of here." He informed as she walked them out of the house. Daniel shared the whole walk with his arm wrapped around her shoulder. Regina leaned her head into his chest to take in his smell. They shared small talk until the arrived to a park.

Regina sat down on a swing seat. Daniel stood behind her to start pushing her. There was a moment of silence under the moonlight. "Penny for your thoughts?" Daniel asked his love as she stopped pushing her and placed his hands over her hands.

"It's nothing." She stated not wanting to ruin their last few hours together, and not wanting Daniel to regret his decisions.

Daniel spun her to have her face him, "Regina Mills I know you."

Regina took a deep breath before letting out her emotions. "Do you know that we haven't been apart for more than seven days at a time, since we were sixteen?" She looked into his eyes expressing her thoughts, thinking that they were only apart during family vacations.

Daniel pulled Regina up off her seat as he brought her in for a kiss. He brushed her hair behind her ear. He took her hands, as he broke the kiss, "I know, but we will be okay."

"I know, It's just going to be hard. I'm going to miss you."

"I going to miss you, but this will do us stronger when I come back." He started as took one hand in his pocket pulling out a jewelry box. "When I come back you'll find out what law school you want to go to." They both knew her intelligence and ambition to be the best in everything. He opened the box to show her the gold heart locket that had small rubies around the edges. "I'll be applying for veterinarian school. We can look into getting a place together. Just have faith."

Regina took the locket to open and see it had an engraved saying, "You complete my heart." to see a goofy picture with them making a heart with the hands. Regina exhaled a smile as a tear finally escaped her eye, as she placed the necklace on. "I love you." Regina pulled him for a tight hug. "You need to write me, so I know that you are okay."

"Don't worry my love. I will write you everyday and I will be ready to see your replies." He expressed.

Regina broke the embrace for her to be able to look into the blue eyes that she loves so much, "You won't have to worry about that." She stroke his cheek with the back of her hand. "You've come so far."

Daniel smiled as he walked them to a bench to sit them down. "You mean me being the amazing freshman and having to be in class with the snobby rich girl who had to be right about everything?" He questioned her with sarcasm.

Regina smiled thinking about their past, "You were an ass. Until I was forced to work with you, and I finally fell for your charm." She stated as she put her head on his inner shoulder.

"I knew it wouldn't take that long to have you fall head over heels in love with me."

She slapped his chest, "Shut up. I was young and naive," Regina smirked, "plus I wanted to rebel against my mother. Who has told me on numerous occasions that you are no good for me, so I had no choice but to go out with you."

"Than what would an older smarter girl like you, do now?" He questioned.

"Well," She lifted her head up to look at her love once again. "I would say, Daniel I am completely in love with you, and my teenage self knew exactly what she was thinking, since she had to be right." She moved her lips closer to Daniel's.

"Well I'm glad you trusted your younger self..."

Regina didn't want to continue with their game, and needed him. "Shut up and kiss me." She commanded her love. He followed the actions of what he was told to do.

The couple spent the night kissing and talking to watch the sun came up. They returned to his place to pack Regina's car for her to drive him to the airport. After they parted ways with each other, Regina sat in her car. She finally shed the tears, she fought all week. She knew she would be okay it's only a year.

Please tell me how you feel, would you like me to continue. I would like your thoughts
