Author's Note: Sorry I haven't been updating for a few days, but I went on a LONG road trip with my family and I couldn't update. But now I'm back and ready to write more!

Emma woke up the next morning, her first plan in motion. Her papa was already at work, so she made herself some breakfast and left the pink mansion she lived in.

When Emma got to David and Kathryn's house, she walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell. She waited a few minutes before David opened the door. "Emma, what a surprise."

Emma gave a soft smile. "Hey, are you busy?"

David shook his head. "No, come on in."

Emma quietly thanked him and the two went into David's living room, sitting on the couch. Emma noticed it was a rather nice house. Perfect for a nice couple. It would be better if Mary Margaret lived here with David instead of Kathryn. Poor Mary Margaret lives in a small apartment by herself.

"So, have you gotten more of your memory back?" Emma asked, trying to make conversation before easing her way into his sense of doubt. It would be diabolical if she wasn't doing this to help her parents and break the curse.

David sighed heavily. "There are some things I remember, but others I can't. I feel bad when Kathryn brings up some of her favorite memories of us and I can't recall them." He placed his head in his hands. "I feel like a bad husband."

Emma took a risk and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I know it's frustrating." She then took a deep breath. "I hope I'm not stepping out of bounds here, but does Kathryn get mad when you can't remember stuff?"

David, Emma soon realized, was a very open person and had no problem sharing his problems with his friends, even if he's only known Emma for a while. "No, never! That's what gets me so irritated. She's such a good and patient woman. I feel like I don't deserve her."

Emma inwardly cursed at the fact that Kathryn wasn't an evil bitch like she thought. 'Okay, new plan!' "What do you think of Mary Margaret?"

David was surprised. "Mary Margaret? I think she's a nice woman. We got along really well when I was held up in the hospital, always checking to see if I needed anything." His face then lightened. "She's very pretty too."

Emma smiled at his expression and mentally high-fived herself. That was exactly the reaction she was looking for! He obviously already developed an attraction towards Mary Margaret, but not enough to act on those feelings. At least, not yet.

They just need a little more pushing thought Emma, smirking to herself like her papa did when he was being mischievous.

After spending time with David, Emma went to go visit Mary Margaret since it was after school hours. She decided to go to the school entrance and smiled at Mary Margaret waving goodbye to her students. She was such a kind soul and she felt saddened that she was taken away from her. At least she was there for her through her entire life in Storybrooke, even if she didn't know she was her daughter.

"Mary Margaret!" Emma called, walking over towards her birth mother.

Mary Margaret heard Emma and smiled happily at the woman she considered a daughter. "Emma, what's been going on? What are you doing here?"

Emma just shrugged. "I just wanted to visit my favorite teacher."

Mary Margaret shook her head and smiled. "Emma, you always know how to brighten my day." The two began to talk as they walked to Mary Margaret's apartment. They were talking about how their days went, how Emma's relationship with Gold was, and how happy Mary Margaret was teaching her students.

"So, Mary Margaret, what do you think of David?" Emma asked, as the two were in Mary Margaret's apartment, sitting at the table, drinking hot cocoa with cinnamon on top. "He's kind of handsome, isn't he?"

"Emma, he's married" said Mary Margaret, taking a sip of her cocoa.

Emma shrugged her shoulders. "That doesn't mean you can't think he's handsome. Besides, maybe they'll break up." She then chuckled. "Doesn't he look like Prince Charming?"

Mary Margaret shook her head and grinned. "Have you been reading your story book again?"

Something like that thought Emma, taking a sip of her cocoa.

Mary Margaret sighed. "Anyways, I agree that David is very attractive, but nothing can ever happen between us. Besides, I'm not really looking for a relationship right now."

Emma inwardly sighed in disappointment. She knew they would fall in love again if they just spent time together. The problem is Kathryn. She didn't want to turn Mary Margaret into a homewrecker in the process of playing match-maker. That would be exactly what Regina would want. To make Mary Margaret's life more miserable.

When Emma got home, she realized her papa wasn't back yet and fell asleep, cuddling her baby blanket and Savior to her chest as she did so. Later on, Gold returned home and went upstairs to Emma's room to see her fast asleep.

Gold smiled at Emma and went over, moving some of her blonde hair out of her face. My little imp. He kissed her forehead and went back downstairs. Emma has been working hard to try and break the curse, like a true savior. Unfortunately, he felt that he was already losing his adoptive daughter to the Charmings and the curse hasn't even broken yet.
