"Don't let go girl, we've got a lot..."
"Miss Swan! Are you going to give your full attention to those runes or are you planning to kill me with your horrible singing?" Regina said in a tight voice. She had been enduring Emma's screeching falsetto (if it could be described as such) for the last hour and a half. It's a miracle she hasn't done anything drastic. Yet.
Emma looked up from the book of runes she was perusing. "I don't know, but I can multitask," she replied cheekily.
"This is not funny, Miss Swan. I don't know why I even bother teaching you magic. You hardly ever listen. I tell you not to touch anything, you immediately pick up the first thing you see. And now you just have to inject your awful voice in here. When I. Need. You. To. Concentrate!" Regina started pacing.
Emma shrugged. "It's not my fault if the song's stuck in my head."
Regina did her best not to pull her hair out of annoyance. "Perfect. Just perfect. Never mind, I could just fireball you out of here and end my misery." She stopped pacing and looked at Emma intently. "Or..."
Emma didn't like the sudden change in Regina's tone. "Or what?"
Regina smiled wickedly. Now she had Emma's full attention. "Or, I could magic that song to get stuck in your head forever that you won't be able to sing any other song." Her smile grew wider as Emma's eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"You wouldn't do that."
"Make me." Regina raised her hands threateningly. "Now what will it be, Miss Swan?"
"Okay, okay! I'll concentrate!" Emma turned back to her book. Regina thought all was finally well until Emma swivelled in her seat to look at her with pleading eyes.
"Well, can I at least just hum it?" Emma asked.
"NO!"
Emma had to duck out of the way of a raging fireball.
