Emma called her mom in the morning and told her that Regina had asked her out then had to hold the phone away from her ear as her mother squealed like a school girl.

"Mom take the squealing down a few thousand decibels I'd like to still be able to hear after this."

Regina chuckled as she'd heard Emma's mom squealing over the phone because it was so loud and then Emma's reaction sent her over the edge then she went over and started kissing Emma's neck which caused Emma to start giggling.

"Yeah, ok, ok mom I gotta go breakfast is ready bye."

After Emma hung up her phone she turned to face Regina.

"Everything ok Emma?"

"Yeah it was just my mom being a pain."

"Well we'd best get dressed. Do you have any ice skates?"

"Yeah but they're really old they have almost had it."

"That settles it then."

"What settles what?"

"I'm taking you ice skate shopping."

"Regina you've done so much for me already I can't accept new skates from you as well."

"Emma it's fine really besides I could use a skating buddy. Think of becoming my skating buddy as payment for the skates."

"You won't take no for an answer will you?"

"You're right."

So Regina took Emma shopping for a pair of new skates.

"Now you need to break them in for 10 days or more depending."

"Depending on what?"

"Well each person is different but it does take about 10 days at the least. Now I want you to walk around in them everyday after school to break them in like you would a pair of normal shoes then we'll get a pair of blades for them."

"Ok."

After Regina had paid for the skate boots and left the store Emma overheard a girl talking to her friends.

"I heard that Emma Swan was raped by Neal Gold."

"That's not what I heard I heard she was beaten and raped."

"Well I heard she wanted him to do her."

"Well I heard he kidnapped her and almost fully raped her but she alerted Regina Mills and told her to get the sheriff."

Emma went in close to Regina's side.

"Regina how did those girls hear about my ordeal with Neal? I thought only you and sheriff Nolan knew."

"I don't know Emma but I will find out."

Regina walked over to the girls that were talking about Emma.

"What are you girls talking about?"

"Just how Emma was raped by Neal Gold."

"I'm telling you I heard it was almost a full rape."

"Where'd you hear it from?"

"One of our classmates walked into the sheriff's station and heard Neal talking to the sheriff."

"Well I can confirm that it was almost a full rape if Emma hadn't used her brain and done what she did. She had enough smarts to call me so I could get the sheriff."

"She must be really brave I don't think I could have done that."

"Emma's had training for situations even though she was scared she had her wits about her enough to make the call. Now don't talk to anyone about this and make sure that the person that told you doesn't say a word."

"You got it."

Regina rejoined Emma and together they went to Emma's house.

"Mom we're home."

"Emma baby I've been thinking and I think to build up muscle you should do competitive figure skating it will help you with your cheerleading."

"Mom I can't do you know how much it costs to be a competitive skater I need a coach and everything."

"You live with a skate coach silly. I have trained a lot of excellent figure skaters."

"But my cheerleading will suffer."

"No it won't Emma we'll just work around your skating."

"What did I do to deserve you?"

"Just lucky I guess."

When Emma and Regina went to school the next day Regina gathered the rest of the squad.

"Everyone there is something that I have to tell you, we will be working around Emma."

"What do you mean work around Emma?"

"Emma will be doing competitive figure skating to build her muscles and she will be training for a skating competition that's in a month so our cheerleading practice will have to wait, until the competition is over."

"Why should we have to revolve around her?"

"Rick I swear if you are going to be difficult you won't have to worry about Regina's wrath I'll beat her to it."

Kathryn threatened one of the male cheerleaders.

"We understand Regina, and Emma don't worry about trying to catch up on the cheerleading routines it's going to stay as it is and if we add something in I'll come over and teach it to you."

"Thanks Kathryn."

At the end of Emma's skating competition routine she was injured because another skater sabotaged her skates and the blade on the ice became loose during a trick which caused her to wobble and the other blade sliced her in the leg.

Even though she had the injury she still came first because the skating officials found out about the sabotage so the skater was disqualified which had put Emma back into first.

Once Emma's leg was wrapped tightly she was transported to Storybrooke Memorial Hosptial where she was checked over then taken into surgery about 8 hours later Emma was out of surgery and in her hospital room Regina was waiting for her.

When Emma woke she saw Regina sitting next to her reading a book.

"Regina?"

"About time you woke up I was starting to think you might be under a sleeping curse and I'd have to kiss you to wake you up."

"Seriously you're going to call me sleeping beauty?"

"Well you are beautiful when you sleep, not that you're not beautiful all the other times."

"Yeah, yeah save the sweet talk for later. So how'd it go?"

"The surgery went great doctor Whale said that there would be no lasting damage or pain the only thing you'll be left with is a scar."

"Just another to add to the collection."

"What do you mean?"

"I've gotten into more scrapes then you have had cheer competitions."

"Where are they?"

"I keep them hidden."

"So that's why you always wear long sleeved shirts under your cheerleading top."

"Yep."

"Well I can help."

"Don't tell me you're dad does plastic surgery too."

"Nope no surgery needed. Have you ever seen the movie Craft?"

"Yeah."

"Well they have made a machine that removes scars only less painful than having a needle going into your skin multiple times."

"What the heck I'm game except I think I'll keep the one on my leg."

"You got it."

Once Emma was discharged and after her stitches were removed Regina talked to doctor Whale about removing Emma's scars except for the one she got from her skating. About a week later it was time and sure enough Emma was scar free minus the one she kept.

When Emma and Regina went to cheerleading practice on Emma's first day back one of the football players saw Emma's scar.

"What is that on your leg?"

"It's a scar haven't you ever seen one before?"

"It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen."

Then Regina stepped up beside Emma and the rest of the squad behind the girls.

"I bet it won't stop Emma from kicking your but in a competition."

"What kind of completion?"

"A skating competition."

"You really think she could beat me?"

"I know she can Robin."

"You're prepared to lose right Swan?"

"Oh please I can skate circles around you."

"Alright when is the competition?"

"What do you think Emma?"

"How about today after school?"

"Does that work for you Robin?"

"Whatever."

Before Emma knew it school was over she headed to the frozen pond in the woods somehow it was always frozen, Robin was already there and was smirking for he knew about Emma's sabotaged skates because the skater that had done it was his girlfriend Marion, what he didn't know was that Emma was going to use her old pair while her new ones were being fixed.

"Ok so Robin will go first, now Emma I want you to watch what not to do."

Emma giggled at Regina's dig at Robin.

Robin stepped onto the ice and skated not being really impressive and fell several times then it was Emma's turn and Emma skated flawlessly and was doing all sorts of tricks like a triple lutz, a triple salchow and many others everyone was in awe.

"See I told you I could skate circles around you."

"Oh yeah skate this."

With that Robin shoved Emma hard which caused her sudden weight to crack the ice and she went through it.

While two male cheerleaders grabbed Robin Regina saw the look of fear on Emma's face and realised that Emma didn't know how to swim.

"Graham help me get Emma out she can't swim and that water is freezing."

Together Regina and Graham pulled Emma from the icy waters the blondes teeth were chattering and she was turning blue and shaking like a leaf.

Regina took Emma to her home and sat her in front of the fireplace to warm up.

Once Emma's shivering had stopped she sat wrapped in Regina's arms the blonde turned sideways and snuggled into Regina trying to bury her head as far in as possible.

"You right there?"

"Yep I'm comfy."

Regina chuckled as she started to stroke Emma's hair soon Regina noticed that Emma's breathing had evened out and was softer that's when she realised that Emma had fallen asleep.

Just then Regina's father Henry came in.

"How was school sweetheart?"

"It was good. Daddy can you help me get Emma into the spare bed she fell asleep right here."

Henry bent down and scooped Emma up and carried her upstairs then placed her down on a bed and pulled the covers over her, then he placed a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.
