So many of you might recognize this story. It originally started out as a oneshot, but because I got so inspired by the plot and one of you guys who suggested this (you know who you are, love to you), I've decided to make this story into a multiple chapter story. (you guys call it that, right?) Many of you really seemed to like the two once shots/chapters I have already uploaded, and I want to give you guys a little more. I hope you like it.
Emma was sitting in the sheriff station, bored out of her mind, when she heard the sound of a text message being received. She looked at the screen and saw the text from the mayor.
Meet me at my vault in ten minutes. We have something to discuss
Emma sighed and quickly texted her back, letting her know she would come and stood from her seat. The woman did say 10 minutes, but Emma was bored, so she left early.
She drove off towards the vault and walked inside, surprised to feel herself relaxing. Despite the creepiness in the vault, she felt completely safe being inside. She knew she had a few minutes until Regina would arrive, so she decided to take a look around, since she never really got a chance to, with all that's been going on in the town the last few years. Now the Evil Queen was out and she wanted to destroy them all. So much for a freaking break.
The blonde walked over to the wall full of small bottles, probably filled with stuff and potions, she didn't want to get involved with. So she quickly turned around and walked the other way, finding her way to the back of the vault. She found the place for all the hearts, Regina had kept under the curse.
Not wanting to be a part of that either, Emma walked further down and immediately stopped as she saw a closed door. Being too curious, she let it get the best of her and walked over to the door trying to open it, expecting to find it locked only to let it open slowly. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked back, making sure she wasn't followed even though she knew she wasn't.
She opened the door further and all the air in her lungs, was thrown away as she saw what the room was containing. Dresses. Dresses everywhere. But it wasn't just normal dresses. It was the dresses from Regina's days of being the evil queen. Emma could recognize some of them from when she had met the evil queen in the Enchanted Forest and some other dresses she had seen the now free evil queen wear.
Once again letting the curiosity getting the best of her, she smiled and closed the door behind her. Emma had always wondered how Regina was able to walk in those dresses, let alone breath in them. And seeing all of the dresses hanging in front of her, gave her an idea. Why not try one and find out herself? She smiled and walked over to the dresses, carefully looking through them, trying to find one. Her eyes landed on several, but one caught her attention immediately.
It was blue with a big black collar around the neck. It went down to the feet, almost dragging some of the dress with it when you walked. Emma smiled and nodded to herself. She immediately took it out and flicked her wrist, making the dress appear on her body.
She could feel herself slightly gasping for air, but it wasn't enough to be uncomfortable. She turned and saw a mirror and walked over, a smile spreading on her face when she saw herself, blue and black hugging her body tight.
"Well well well, aren't we pretty today", a husk voice said and Emma stiffened and looked up in the mirror, expecting to see Regina, but instead she was met by the queen. Her eyes widened and she quickly turned around, her hands ready for any magical defense. The queen laughed as she stood in the doorway and Emma blushed even harder, not knowing what to do.
"What do you want?", she decided to ask, and the queen laughed once more.
"I actually came to get a potion, but I could feel your magic, so I followed your trials and found your in here. In my dress", she added the last part, biting her lip. Emma sighed and rolled her eyes. She was about to flick her wrist, taking the dress off, when she heard way too familiar high heels coming closer to them.
*Shit*
"Emma?", the brunette called out and Emma widened her eyes turning to the queen who stood by the opened door, smirking at her, a knowing look on her face and Emma knew what the queen was thinking.
"You wouldn't!", she said, but the queen just laughed. Emma quickly tried to flick her wrist, but it didn't do anything.
"Emma? Are you there?", they heard Regina's voice, now closer than before and Emma began to panic.
"Why won't it work?!", she hissed, looking at her hand. The queen laughed and Emma knew what was happening. The queen was blocking her magic.
"Emma? I swear if you have brok— what the hell are you doing here?", Regina stopped herself when she saw who was standing by the door to her dressing room, her former dresses for her evil queen days. Ignoring her other half's stern voice, the queen turned to the brunette, a smirk on her face, arms crossed.
"Oh you want to see this", she said laughing and Regina frowned and stepped closer, standing bedside her and turned to see the last thing she was expecting. Emma Swan standing in the middle of her dressing room, wearing one of her evil queen dresses. Not to mention one of her favorites.
"Wow", she simply said with an amused face, crossing her arms as well and Emma knew she was looking like a tomato by now. The blonde sighed rolling her eyes. It was obvious on the two women's faces that they were trying to hold their laughter back.
"I was just curious", Emma said trying to ease the embarrassment running through her body, but the two brunette's cracked up, laughing hard and the embarrassment didn't ease once inch.
"I'm sorry Emma, but you look so great in that dress", Regina said and the queen nodded in agreement as they both tried to calm down. This was the first time they were actually being civil with each other and Emma actually liked the sight of that.
"Thank you. Can I take it off now?"
Regina could see the embarrassment in the blonde and smiled nodding. Emma nodded in gratitude and Regina was about to flick her wrist when they heard someone taking a photo and they turned to the queen who was grinning widely as she looked at the screen in front of her.
"Hey! No pictures!", Emma said and the queen laughed.
"Let me see, let me see", Regina said with much excitement and the queen showed her the picture, both women cracking up once more. Emma blushed harder than ever in embarrassment. Her day couldn't possibly become worse.
"Wait wait, let's take a selfie", Regina said and the queen frowned.
"What's a selfie?", she said and Regina smiled and took her hand walking over to Emma who had her eyes wide and mouth open in pure disbelief.
"Come on, stand next to Emma", Regina said taking the phone and the queen stood beside her while Regina held the phone in front of them.
"Say cheese", she said and the queen smiled at the camera while Emma looked at her with a stone face, obviously not enjoying it at all.
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing", Regina said looking at the photo and the queen smiled and walked over, looking at the picture as well. Regina turned to see Emma, red in embarrassment, and couldn't help but feel sad for her. She flicked her wrist, redressing the blonde in her jeans and sweater along with her jacket, and the blonde moaned out in relief.
"Thank god! How do you guys breathe in those things?!", she asked and Regina and the queen smiled at her shaking their heads. But coming back to her senses, the brunette cleared her throat giving the phone back to the queen before crossing her arms.
"What are you doing here?"
The queen turned to her other half and frowned for a moment before groaning, rolling her eyes.
"I came to get a potion", she said like it was the most natural and obvious thing in the world and Regina turned to Emma who shrugged before turning back to the queen.
"No, you're not. You're not turning someone into a frog or worse"
"Oh will you relax? It's not for you or anyone else. It's for myself", she explained and both the brunette and blonde frowned at her.
"Yourself? What kind of potion is it?", Emma asked and the queen smirked at her, making the blonde blush.
"Believe it or not, but I was thinking about taking a forgetting potion. I want to forget all of this. The hatred and vengeance I'm feeling inside. I just wanna live my life now"
Regina and Emma shared a look and Emma couldn't help but smile at her. "That sounds like a great idea", the blonde said and the queen smiled a true smile at her.
"Yes it does. Now may I go take it?"
Regina looked down in thought. Was this the right thing to do? Letting the queen forget everything they've been through? How much are she planning to forget? Everything in Storybrooke? Back to before the curse happened? Before Daniel died? How much would they all have to explain to her?
"I will forget everything in our life. Even Daniel", the queen said looking down and Regina looked up at her.
"And what do you expect us to do with it? Tell you what had happened?"
The queen shrugged. "I believe that's up to you. But I only have one request. Don't make me leave Storybrooke", she said before walking back to the potions, leaving Emma and Regina alone, only to stop and turn around. The two women looked at her expecting a cheesy comment, but instead the queen walked over to Emma standing right in front of her.
"There's something I need to confirm", she said looking into green eyes and the blonde nodded. Before Regina could ask what it was, the queen leaned in, connecting their lips in a soft kiss, making the brunette widen her eyes. Watching herself kissing Emma Swan was definitely one of the weirdest things she'd ever seen. But also one of the greatest. Not that she would admit it to anyone.
When Emma felt the queen's lips on her own, she couldn't help but kiss her back. Her hidden feelings for the brunette increased massively and she instantly brought her arms around the queen, pulling her closer.
Regina stood awkwardly beside them, looking everywhere else than at the two woman. Awkward would definitely be an understatement in this situation. But after a few seconds, she couldn't stop herself from looking at them. Sadness and anger filled her body, along with something she had only ever felt once or twice in her life.
Not that the brunette would ever admit her jealousy, but right now her worse half was making out with Emma Swan and it angered the brunette to absolutely no end. It should be her, not the queen.
"Alright lovebirds, come back to earth will you?"
The queen pulled back from the kiss, embarrassed for loosing herself like that and turned to her other half, immediately sensing the jealousy. She smirked and raised an eyebrow at her, making the brunette roll her eyes.
"Thank you miss Swan. That was quite pleasurable", she said turning to Emma who looked up at her now, lipstick all over her lips. "You two have a good night", the queen said kissing Emma's cheek before turning to Regina.
"Don't look so sad. We're about to be twins", she said and Regina rolled her eyes but nodded.
"Indeed we are"
The queen smiled and hugged her before walking away, leaving the two women alone in the dressing room. An awkward silence started and Emma tried to get the lipstick off her face. Regina saw the struggle and rolled her eyes stepping closer.
"Here let me", she said gently and Emma let her. Regina could feel eyes on her and looked at the blonde, who looked back at her with admiration in her eyes.
"What?"
Before the brunette could stop her, the blonde leaned in, bringing their lips together as well. Too surprised to pull back, the brunette kissed her back almost immediately and Emma brought her closer by the waist, just as she had done with the queen only a few seconds prior. The kiss was soft and gentle and just like Regina had suspected it would be, only pulling back when air became necessary.
"Definitely a better kisser than her", Emma said breathlessly and Regina raised an eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Yeah. You're soft and gentle, while she's... well. Hard and... demanding"
Regina chuckled cupping Emma's cheek. "I can be demanding if you want me to be"
"I have no doubt about that", the blonde answered and Regina grinned before leaning back in, kissing her once more. But after a moment Emma pulled back frowning at her.
"Why did you call me down here?", she asked and Regina looked into her eyes, smiling at her.
"I... I just wanted to find a way to defeat her, but now. Yeah"
Emma nodded, sensing the lie, but let it slide. "Alright. But now I have to go. I have a break up to do", she said and Regina stiffened as she remembered Hook.
"Oh... shit, yes, I'm sorry Emma", she quickly apologized but Emma just smiled shaking her head.
"Don't be. I'm happy I finally realized who I want", she said and Regina sighed smiling a little. Emma smiled and kissed her once more before walking out of the room.
"I'll see you tonight at seven", she said and Regina smiled and looked down in thought before bringing her hand into her jacket pocket, pulling out a page from a story book, a picture of her and Emma sharing a kiss.
"I knew it", a voice said and Regina looked up to see the queen standing in the doorway.
"Knew what?"
"About you and Emma's connection. Why do you think I kissed her in the first place?", she said walking over, taking the page out of her other half's hands, making the brunette frown like a child.
"I like it. Better than the one we shared with Robin", the queen said, making a face of disgust and Regina rolled her eyes.
"I hate to admit it, but I agree"
The queen smiled and gave her the page back before pulling out a potion.
"So this is what you want to do? Forget everything and have a new start?", Regina asked, making sure her other half was absolutely sure about her decision. The queen smiled nodding.
"Like you did many years ago, I've come to the fact that I won't be happy by killing a single woman and her shepherd", she said opening the bottle and held it up.
"Bottoms up", she cheered before pouring it down in one go.
