The following Monday morning Emmett drove them to school. He parked and they got out of the car, their bags hanging from their shoulders. "Hey Swan", a voice said and they both turned to see Emmett's friends standing by a tree smoking cigarettes.

Emmett gave them a nod before turning to his sister who was looking at her phone. "Em?", he called her out softly and the girl looked up from her phone, meeting her brother's eyes. "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Everything's fine", she assured him quickly and Emmett nodded the siblings walked inside the school towards Emmett's locker.

"Alright. Have you thought about principal Fields's question over the weekend?"

Emma rose one of her eyebrows shrugging. Sure she had thought about principal Fields's question, but also more than that. The way her long black hair falls and moves in the win. The way her blue eyes shine in even the darkest rooms. How hot she looked in her skirt. Oh how Emma wanted to just drag her hand up her—

"Em!", a voice called out after her and she shook her head clear from her throat and turned to her brother. "Are you okay? Did you disappear into another dimension or something?", he asked and Emma sighed looking away. "Em—"

"I don't know okay? I'm not as good as you Emmett. I... I can't win for this school. I'm not good enough for that", she said but Emmett didn't listen. He knew what his sister was capable of.

"Emma stop. You can do it. I believe in you", he said and Emma sighed deep looking into her brother's eyes and said brother smiled wide making Emma smile as well.

"You really believe I can do this?", she asked uncertain, but Emmett nodded confidently.

"Of course Em. You're a Swan, and more importantly, you are my sister and you can do this"

Emma smiled and hugged him tight, letting herself stand on her toes. Her brother was so tall compared to her, and she had always loved his hugs. "Thanks Emmett. Means a lot"

Emmett smiled and nodded as they broke the hug, but before they could say anything more, they heard the famous heels and they both turned to see Jess walking towards them. Emmett smiled while Emma rolled her eyes.

"Hey babe", Emmett greeted her and Jess smiled at him, loving the kiss she received on her cheek. "I was wondering something..." he started out and Jess turned to him, letting her full attention be on him. But she noticed something behind him. Emma was standing, watching the two seniors and when the two girls made eye contact, Emma gave her the finger making Jess silently gasp. "Do you want to?" Emmett asked and Jess looked back at her boyfriend.

"I'm sorry I was gone for a bit, what did you ask?", she said nicely and Emmett chuckled.

"I asked if you wanted to go out and eat dinner tonight with me. There's a new place a few minutes down Main Street"

"Of course, would be lovely", she said and brought her hand to his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. She opened her eyes and met Emma's as they kissed and Emma rolled her eyes looking away making Jess smirk inside.

"Is it just me or does the food here just suck!", Ruby said as she and Emma sat in the cafeteria at lunch time, looking down at her plate. She groaned and turned to see Emma completely gone.

"Swan", she called her out and Emma shook her head turning to her friend.

"What? What did you say?"

Ruby furrowed her eyebrows and followed Emma's line of sight and noticed their principal standing by the door to the cafeteria. "Is someone daydreaming about a sweet night with a certain principal?"

Emma blushed hard and looked down at her food, but only for a second before looking back up at the principal, immediately meeting said woman's eyes. That made Emma blush even harder and looked away, making principal Fields smile. "You're so gone in her it's unbelievable", Ruby said and Emma sighed turning to her best friend.

"She's hot okay?"

Ruby chuckled and looked down hungrily at her friend's untouched food. She loved the fact that Emma and Emmett had their own lunch with them, because of their mother. She would always envy that. "Are you gonna eat that?"

Before Emma could answer someone bet her to it. "She needs the energy", a voice said and the two girls turned to see Emmett standing behind his sister in his famous white shirt and black tie. The boy had always loved wearing shirt and tie and it made Emma happy that people still treated him like everybody else. She smiled looking at her brother as he sat down next to her and took out his lunch from his bag. "She's starting her training with our fencing team today"

Ruby widened her eyes turning to her best friend while said friend looked down. "You've been taken to our fencing team?"

"Ruby—"

"Why didn't you tell me?", Ruby interrupted her best friend and stood from her seat.

"Ruby let me explain", Emma tried but Ruby didn't want to listen. She simply shook her head as she took her bag and left. Emma sighed deep and laid her head on the table, face down. Emmett sighed and clapped her back.

"Sorry. I thought she knew"

Emma groaned into the table and Emmett sighed deeper, stroking her back. "But are you ready? Principal Fields told me your training starts at four. Do you have your gear with you or do you want me to drive home and get it?", he asked and Emma turned to her brother, smiling at him.

"It's in my locker"

Emmett smiled and opened his lunch and started eating. "Why are you sitting here anyway? Aren't you supposed to sit with your friends today?", Emma asked nodding towards the group of boys sitting a few tables away, but Emmett just shrugged turning back to his food.

"Nah. I wanted to sit with you today. I know you need the support and I'm here"

Emma nodded and looked down at her brother's food. She took her own fork and took a piece of his pasta. He turned to her, seeing her own lunch untouched and smiled softly before turning back to his lunch.

Emma took a deep breath as she stood in front of the principal's office and knocked softly. A few seconds later the door opened and principal Fields smiled at her student. "Miss Swan. Thank you for coming"

Emma gave a tight smile and followed her principal inside the office, closing it behind her. She watched her principal walking back to her desk and Emma couldn't stop herself from looking downwards and how she didn't regret it. It was one of the nicest asses she'd ever seen.

"Eyes up here miss Swan", she heard and shook her head looking at her principal. A knowing smile was showing on the woman's face and Emma blushed hard walking over to the chair, sitting down.

"How are you feeling Emma? Are you ready for your training?"

Emma shrugged not really knowing what to answer, though principal Fields could see right through her. "It's okay to be scared Emma, but you will be fine. You're a great fencer"

Emma gave a true smile and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door and principal Fields called the person in. "Sorry I'm late, a fight broke out in the hallway", the man said and Emma immediately recognized the man. It was the man from the picture.

"Couch Davis, this is Emma Swan. She is the new member of your club", principal Fields presented her student and the coach smiled and offered the girl his hand.

"Welcome to the club Miss Swan. I'm always happy to welcome another Swan to the club"

Emma smiled at the man as she shook his offered hand. "I will leave you two to it", principal Fields said as she walked over to Emma and coach Davis smiled and walked over to the door opening it. Emma felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to her principal. "I'm sure you will do great Emma. Remember. It runs in the family", she said winking at her and Emma blushed hard as she felt a squeeze on her shoulder.

"Yeah dad I'm going there now. She will be fine dad, you know how good she is, we trained her after all. Maybe, but she will be great. I believe in her. I know. Yep, see ya around"

Emmett hung up his phone and put his bag in his locker before locking it and walking down the hallway towards their gym. "Emmett" a voice called him out and he turned to see his best friend Bryan running up to him.

"Hey B? What's up?"

"Hey, where are you going?", Bryan asked as he had caught up with the tall boy and Emmett nodded towards the gym.

"I'm going to see my sister train. Wanna come?"

"Nah I gotta go home. My mom needs me", he said and Emmett nodded in understanding.

"Sure bro. See ya around"

Bryan smiled and fist bumped his friend before running off. Emmett chuckled and walked towards the gym. When he got inside he immediately discovered his sister as she stood and practiced with their couch. "Come on Swan. On your feet"

Emmett smiled at the sight of sister. He was so proud of her for coming so far. He clearly remembered the day he first taught Emma how to hold the sword properly and to stand right. An amazing memory. He took out his phone and took a few pictures of her. "Come on Swan", he cheered making Emma turn to him and a smile broke on her face.

To see her brother being here to support her meant more than anything. Emmett smiled at her nodding and Emma nodded back before turning back to her opponent. Emmett smiled and took a few more photos before sitting down. After almost an hour the training was over and Emma walked up to her brother's seat with a big smile on her face.

"Hey", he greeted her and Emma smiled shyly.

"Hey. Ho-how did I do?", she asked nervously and Emmett smiled at her. It was obvious his opinion meant a lot to her.

"Like a true champion", he said holding up his fist and Emma smiled wide fist bumping him.

"So when is the nationals?", David asked as they sat by the dining table that evening and the two siblings turned to their father.

"This weekend. I'm training with couch Davis every day after school", Emma answered and Emmett smiled at her nodding.

"And I will of course be there and help", he quickly said assuring their parents and said parents both nodded in acceptance. They wanted their children to be as close as they could be. The support and love from family was the most important thing in life.

"I think I will go and train a little in the garage", Emma said standing from the table and the two parents nodding. "Thanks for dinner mom. It was lovely", she said kissing her mother's cheek making said mother smile and the three other family members watched the youngest walking out of the kitchen.

"Have you talked to her yet?", David asked calmly his wife but Mary Margaret just shook her head and David accepted it with a nod and took her hand into his own while Emmett gave a sad smile before turning back to his food.

Emma walked into the garage and took her equipment, putting on her uniform and helmet. She walked over to their little training area they had in their garage. Ever since Emmett started fencing David decided to make a place where they could train day and night. The garage seemed to be the perfect place.

Emma walked over to the big fighting doll in the middle of her garage and stood her pose before swinging her sword. She trained for a few minutes when a loud crash was heard and she turned around with her sword ready. "Who's there?", she asked and she immediately heard a groan coming from the back. She slowly stepped closer to the source, the groans getting louder, but stopped short as she saw a woman laying on top of a few boxes.

Silence filled the garage as Emma looked at the beautiful woman who was obviously struggling to get up from the boxes. After a few moments, the woman finally discovered Emma and the silence was even more awkward now. The woman cleared her throat and tried to move once again but with no luck. "Are you gonna help me or what?", she asked and Emma shook her head out of her trance and put down her sword.

"Right I'm sorry", she apologized as she took off her helmet and the woman stopped in her tracks as she saw Emma's face for the first time. Emma stopped as well, meeting the woman's brown eyes and Emma had suddenly found her new favorite pair of eyes. After an awkward clearing throat Emma pulled the woman up from the boxes and onto her feet. The woman smiled and cleaned her skirt as Emma stood dumbfounded looking away.

"I'm sorry I didn't catch your name", the woman suddenly said and Emma looked up at her with wide eyes for a moment before holding out her hand.

"Emma Swan"

The woman smiled and nodding taking the hand into her own. "Regina Mills"
