Ch.4: Day 4 (Mistake as a couple)
"Well isn't this surprising." The Evil Queen looked from Regina to Emma and back to Regina. "Who are you?"
"I am you, from the future. This is Emma she is with me."
"What do you take me for? A fool?!" The Evil Queen sneered at them and got so close to Regina's personal space that they were almost breathing each others breath. "You will pay for this if –"
"It's the last thing I do. Emma remind me to get myself another line that one is getting old."
Emma snickered, "I told you it was getting old but I like it when you say it anyways."
"Silence you insolent fools!" The Evil Queen looked at Regina and Emma again. "How about we play a little game."
Regina gulped audibly as did Emma both afraid what this game entitled. They knew to expect anything and everything from her. Regina knowing herself then knew that it wasn't bound to end well.
"Let us go to my chambers, shall we." With a flick of her wrist all three where engulfed in purple smoke only dispersing as they found themselves in the Evil Queen's bed chambers.
"If what you say is true, and you are me from the future, then tell me something only I might know."
Regina flushed because there was only one thing she knew that no one knew. Not her mother, not her father, not even Daniel knew this secret of hers.
"I can't say it. Not in front of Emma." Regina looked to Emma to apologize without words. Emma shrugged and turned her back.
'Everyone is entitled to their secrets god knows I still have a couple in my pocket.' Emma thought as she stuffed her hands in her jean pockets.
The Evil Queen chuckles, "Why, will it lead to a lovers quarrel?" She looks amused as she catches a glimpse of Emma's blush.
"I am sorry Emma." Those where the last words she heard from Regina. Emma frowned when she saw the Evil queen glare at Regina and Regina glared right back.
"Why did you do that?! That wasn't part of the game!" Regina moved her wrist around them and engulf them in a silencing bubble knowing fully well that Sydney could appear or hear them at any given time. "You impostor! You-"
"You like women! And that woman over there, Emma, don't tell me you don't feel something for her."
Regina pointed at her and she saw the Evil Queen's face show how frighten and shocked she was at whatever Regina had said to prove they were from the future.
"So it's true. You are me. But how did we get someone like her?" Her old self turned to look at her with doubt and hope in her eyes.
Regina laughed, "We aren't together, Regina." She felt a bit awkward regarding herself using her own name.
"What – but you said…" The Evil Queen stopped to look at Emma and eyed her warily. "Did she reject us? I can finish her of if you like."
"No! I mean no, she hasn't reject us, because she doesn't know yet. She told me, before I landed here, that she liked me. Us. She likes us for who we are even as 'The Evil Queen'." Regina smiled shyly to Emma.
Emma smiled back even though she had no idea what words where being exchanged she knew that look on Regina's face. She was happy and she hoped she was the cause of such a smile.
"I need to go home to tell her I feel the same way. I know right now you are still grieving, seeking revenge, happiness, and to win. But you can't remember us or none of this will happen in your future. My present. You remember the forgetting potion its right there if you take a small dose it should make you forget us but not Daniel or Snow. But you need to send us back only you have the items to send us back."
The Evil Queen seemed to doubt her for a moment and while she was thinking things through Regina brought down the silencing walls and only draped a cloths on the mirrors so Sydney wouldn't see them.
The Queen poofed some objects muttered an incantation and off they were to the forest once more. They grabbed a jar that had been sent with them and Regina headed to a puddle that was no larger or deeper than what you could hold in your hand. She spilled the contents into the puddle and extended her hand to Emma.
"Are you ready Savior?" Regina smirked seeing Emma shiver and blush at her title.
"Yeah. Let's go home." The both splashed into the puddle and swirling around depths of water they finally managed to come through the same portal Emma and her mother had come through. The well was brimming full so all they did was roll to their sides and land with a thud. They were finally home.
