It was a, surprisingly, boring day in Storybrooke. Emma was swamped with paperwork, so to help along their friendship, Regina brought her lunch. She decided that the blonde sheriff had done it enough for her, and it was time she returned the favor. When she entered the sheriff's station, she greeted Emma with a warm smile.

"Good afternoon, Miss Swan."

"Afternoon," Emma mumbled, hardly looking up from her work. Regina raised an eyebrow.

"Apparently I am paying you for good work, but your manners could use some of your attention," Regina quipped. Emma gave her face. "I brought you lunch." Regina waved the bag in front of Emma's face. She softened.

"Thanks, Regina," she said, taking the bag, "I'm sorry. I'm just really trying to get this paperwork done. I'm a bit behind due to all the shit that keeps happening lately." Regina nodded.

"Yes, today is relatively quiet. Gives everyone time to catch up on things such as overdue paperwork," she gave Emma a pointed look. Emma grabbed a rubber band off of her desk and flung it at Regina. It hit her in the shoulder. Taking advantage of her opponent being stunned, Emma shot another one, hitting Regina in the chest.

"Miss Swan, if you know what's good for you, you will desist immediately."

"Come over here and make me!" Emma challenged. Regina gave a little grin before summoning all of the rubber bands from her office and dumping them on Emma's head. She gave a hearty laugh- one Emma hadn't heard much of at all- causing Emma to laugh, too.

"All right, you win this round," Emma relented.

"I always win, Dear," Regina said with a smile.
