That's One Way to Spill a Secret (Literally)
Summary:
Regina and Snow switch bodies…. In other words, the way Snow finds out about Emma and Regina in the worst way a mother can... Swan Queen set during season four.
Chapter One: It Never Ends Well...
"Okay we're here." Mary Margaret said walking into Gold's shop with David right behind her. "What's happening?" There was an impromptu meeting about the Snow Queen. Everyone else was already there; Rumple, Belle, Regina, Emma, Elsa, and Henry.
"Well, we were thinking," Belle began. "Since the Snow Queen obviously took Elsa and Emma's memories, our first step should be trying to get them back." Snow nodded.
"Okay how do we do that?" she asked. Rumple stepped forwards.
"Well, one way to regain old memories is to have something from your past trigger them." he said.
"And, I obviously can't find anyone because apparently I knew the Snow Queen back in a foster home." Emma jumped.
"But Elsa can?" David asked.
"Yes well, if I just find Anna I'm sure my memories will return." Elsa said.
"But how can you be sure?" Mary Margaret asked.
"I'm hardly ever apart from my sister," Elsa said. David and Mary Margaret nodded.
"So, we're back on the sister hunt," Regina supplied helpfully.
"Right," David said. "And how do we do that?"
"I think we found a potion," Belle pulled out a book. "It allows you to temporarily… merge with someone you have a connection with."
"Merge?" Henry asked, confused.
"For a lack of a better term," Belle said.
"So, like when I looked through Regina's eyes when Greg and Tamara had her kidnapped?" Mary Margaret asked.
"Not exactly," Rumple said. "For that I would need both the tears of Elsa and her sister, which I do not have access to."
"And, this spell not only merges the senses, but the physical appearance as well," said Belle.
"You mean switching bodies?" Henry asked. "Like what Pan did?" Belle looked hesitant.
"Essentially… yes." she confirmed.
"Great, so Elsa can wake up wherever Anna is, and Anna can wake up where Elsa is," Emma began. "Then, either Elsa can find her way back to us here, or we can tell Anna what to do and where to go."
"That's the plan," Belle said.
"Okay, is it a potion type thing?" Mary Margaret asked. Regina rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I'll start brewing it. Belle send me the ingredients." she said, walking towards the door.
"I'll come with you," Mary Margaret said. Regina stopped and turned around.
"Why?" Mary Margaret shrugged.
"Just to observe, I guess." she said. Regina stared at her.
"Observe?"
"Well, I mean these meetings would go a lot faster if I understood a bit more magic," she said. Regina looked at her and crossed her arms.
"I thought you hated magic." Mary Margaret blushed.
"Well it's… useful… sometimes," she stammered. Regina smirked.
"Fine." With that, she turned on her heel and walked out the door, Mary Margaret following behind.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Wow, you have a lot of stuff down here," Mary Margaret said, picking up a book of some sort. Regina huffed and snatched it from her.
"Like I constantly tell your daughter, don't touch anything," she said pulling out her trunk of potions. Mary Margaret rolled her eyes. Regina began mixing together different potions and ingredients from the list Belle texted her. Mary Margaret watched her in silence.
"So, what's that do?" Mary Margaret asked as Regina poured something else into the bottle.
"I said you could observe, not talk." Regina said, not looking up from what she was doing. Mary Margaret sighed.
"How am I supposed to understand this if I don't ask questions?" she asked. Regina furrowed her eyebrows.
"Teachers," she muttered under her breath. "I agreed to teach your daughter since she has an actual use for this knowledge. Not you."
"I still need to understand it," Mary Margaret pushed.
"Have Emma teach you." Was the clipped response. Mary Margaret sighed and walked closer to the former Evil Queen.
"Regina if you- oh!" Mary Margaret bumped in Regina as the Queen spun around to yell at her. The potion sloshed and spilled all over the both of them. Both women collapsed and fell to the floor, unconscious.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Regina groaned and opened her eyes to a white ceiling. Someone was pressing a cold washcloth to her head.
"Hey," a soft voice said. "Are you okay?" Regina blinked rapidly, trying to get her vision to focus. As her sight cleared up, the figure of David slowly came into focus.
"Hey, can you hear me?" David asked. Regina blinked at him confused. "Mary Margaret?" he asked. Regina blanched.
What. The. Hell.
AN: So Swan Queen. Yeah… that's all that's in my brain right now. Anyways, there's the first chapter, all the setup and whatnot. Hopefully this will be a shortish story so I can actually finish it :) hehe yeah, I'll do my best - hopefully the reoccurring Once episodes will give me inspiration :P
