A/N: Sorry about all the delays. School has taken so much time that there isn't much time to write. I have a bit of writers block and also finding some information is hard. Some of it isn't correct. This one has mentions of different types of alcohol, so it might not all be right. I'm not of age, so I can't really give accurate information on the topic, but it's my attempt. Please, constructive criticism and ideas for the next chapter. Remember, information is not all accurate.


Regina awoke to the sound of wheels rolling on solid ground. She would have gotten 10 hours and based on when they left it was about 4 am. Way too early. She waited until she knew she could get up and went in search of a certain blonde who didn't get a goodnight kiss. Regina was really happy that she got a goodnight rests. She went to the pit to see Hannah fast asleep and Emma doing her final measures before exiting. She turned around and saw Regina.

"Hey, Beautiful. How was the flight?"

"Good. It would have been better with you wrapped around me."

"I had to fly. Now, we have to get everyone up before the race. I am going to go find our hotel and order room service for everyone. I trust that you will have you phone, so I can give you directions when I am at the hotel. You will need to prepare and I wanted to do something, but it has to be a surprise."

"Alright. I will get everyone up and meet you there. I still don't approve of you not getting any sleep because you have to fly. You have a copilot for a reason. Use that to your advantage, so you don't pass out when we're together. Do I need to do anything in advance?"

"No. Just make sure that everyone gets up. Hannah will escort you around to make sure nothing gets out of hand. Maleficent and Lily have a room near us, while the others racers are currently sleeping in a separate hotel. What would we be doing that I might fall asleep? Must be very boring."

"Don't take too long. Don't push your luck either. You have no idea what I'm capable of."

"I won't. I won't. I might as well find out sooner rather than later. Bye, Regina." Emma gave Regina a kiss and left the plane. Regina let people sleep another hour before she got a text. She started with Hannah because Regina would need her help. Then was the crew members of both teams. The kids and finally Lily and Maleficent. When Regina called Emma, multiple rental cars were pulled up to the plane. She went to investigate and saw that each car was for one group. Regina's crew, Lily's crew, Cora and Henry, Lily and Maleficent, the Mills, and extra. The extra had to be Emma, Hannah, and Emily.

Everyone got in the cars and were excited to get some nice food. When they got to the hotel, Emma had a breakfast buffet ready for them and everyone ran to get as much food as they could. Regina was surprised to say the least, but happy that she could have something to eat. When everyone finished eating, they went to their rooms to unpack a little. They had an extra day after this and then they would leave, but today was race day, so everyone was in panic mode. Regina was getting her outfit out, as Emma was with the kids trying to get them ready to get to the track for practice. Hannah was with all the other crew members as Lily was with her mom attempting to get pumped.

Both teams went to the track to get a feel for what was going to happen. Regina and Lily walked in arm and arm when Lily expressed her concern about what the others would do. Regina got ready for a once around and she was taking her phone to make sure that Henry would get to see it all. The buildings were so impressive with the architecture. The skyscrapers were truly a sight to behold because of how high they went and how beautiful they look. Regina got back with 5 minutes before final inspections would take place.

Lily was looking so nervous throughout the whole day and Regina was worried to say the least. Lily is a young girl that has so much to live for and the race car driving is scaring her because of one incident. Regina remembered when she acted the same way because of how new she was to this sport. Regina felt like she had an obligation to help her because of her experience with racing for the past many years. Right after final inspections she was going to give some advice to her most promising competitor.

"Lily, can I have a word with you?"

"Sure. What's up?"

"Why do you seem scared? I mean scared and not nervous because you are an excellent racer, but you don't want to race." There wasn't a response for a minute, so Regina made her own suggestion. "You're scared that you're going to crash again. That's why you are being to antsy."

"Yeah. How'd you guess?"

"I've been where you are."

"No way. The great Regina Mills has to fear about racing."

"I did in the beginning. I didn't know what to do because I was so new to this sport. This amazing, crazy, energetic, addicting sport that has brought me so much joy. I had my father to help, but he wanted me to learn it for myself. My experiences make me the racer I am today and it should be the same for you. You are a promising racer. One incident doesn't define your entire career. You just have to learn from it to improve. I can't do this for you. Mal won't do it for you. The only one who can conquer this fear is you."

"Thanks, Regina. Sometimes I need someone who won't pull punches. I will see you out there."

"Sure thing. I will also be patched in with you to make sure that you have someone looking after you."

Regina went back to her car to get everything finished with details. She asked Maleficent to be connected with Lily because she wanted to help in any way she could. Maleficent was more than happy to help.

When the race began, it was a three lap race around major markers. This course was designed to challenge a racers precision, speed control, and intelligence. Regina found that this was her favorite track because of the challenge it provides. The racers blasted from the start and cheers could be heard all around. Regina caught an early lead because of her experience with terrain like this. She could hear Henry giving little hints about who was near her and where to avoid. She also heard Lily talking to herself to stay calm.

"Lily, remember that you can do this. You got this."

The radio was silent and Regina knew that response. It was game mode. She heard Henry saying that Lily's car was gaining and she needed to increase her speed 5 mph a minute to stay ahead. She listened to him until she heard Emma in her ear. She smiled so broadly that she was sure that everyone in Tokyo could feel her happiness.

"Hey, babe. I am going to talk to you, but don't change a thing. You got this."

"Okay, what's up, dear?"

"How about I take you on a date after this is all over? I found a wonderful place that I want to bring you to."

"All right. I am going to get back to the race, but please keep talking to me every once in a while. I'm sorry that we haven't had much time together. I wanted us to have a full date day, but it seems like that will have to wait."

Every few minutes, Emma would say something encouraging to Regina to make her feel better. Regina felt so light because of all the positive things Emma had to say about her. Sometimes her mother or father would jump in. Henry would say something about the race and Emily would say hi. She was winning with an eighth lap lead with Lily in second. Regina would say words to keep Lily from having freak outs and she knew that it was helping.

The race was ended with one person being disqualified for reckless endangerment of other racers by adding retractable spikes to his car. Killian Jones wanted nothing more than to finally beat the Queen of Racing. He was sent back to the states after his stunt. He managed to yell something to the other racers as he was removed from the race. "Why are you arresting me? Lily did much worse than me! I didn't cause a crash! I would only scratch the car. She is much worse than me and will never experience anything good. I can guarantee that she is planning something against Regina. She will be defined by that crash because Mills is a legend. Lily almost killed a legend as well as herself. She is reckless and out of control."

Lily was about to bolt off, but her arm was grabbed by Maleficent. They shared a look and then embraced each other. Regina would have done that, but she didn't want to interrupt a perfect moment with mother and daughter. The results came up and Regina was winning by a larger margin than before. Lily was almost dropping to third. They now had the rest of the day and tomorrow to relax. Regina was excited that she had time to wind down with her family.

Emma and Regina decided to take some time off by themselves. Henry Sr. and Cora were happy to watch the kids. The others decided to have a lazy day in because of their hard work. Emma was thinking of the best place to take a busy woman without kids. Then the idea struck her. She was going to take Regina to a bar. What parent doesn't want to have a drink without the kids? Emma looked at all the best places to get a drink and she was picking out what Regina might want.

They got to the bar and there were lights flickering and music. Emma went to order the drinks to try and Regina found a booth for them. Emma returned with beer, whisky and some other shots, and some sake. Emma wanted them to try some Japanese culture. Regina was apprehensive with some of the choices, but decided that she could try some of it. The beer was good enough. The sake was a bit different than regular wine, but still nice. She really didn't want to have shots because that was the quickest way to get her drunk. She was a clingy and talkative drunk. Emma convinced her to have a few shots before they left. She had a whisky, two Alice in Wonderland, a Hot Damn, and a Kamikaze shot. Emma had all of that as well as two Flaming Lemon Drops.

Regina knew that she was going to regret this tomorrow, but it was too much fun. Emma and her were dancing for a while. The music was different from what they usually listen to, but there was a good beat. They were doing some dirty dancing with Regina grinding into Emma's hips as they dance and Emma wrapping her arms around Regina and kissing her neck as they move in sync. Regina finally turned around and was greeted with a passionate kiss from Emma. She immediately melted and let everything else around them fade as she was kissing Emma. Emma led her off the dance floor back to their booth. They started to make-out before they decided to go back to the hotel. Regina tried to stand, but she couldn't stand straight in heels, so Emma was carrying her. Emma had a higher tolerance for alcohol, so doing this wasn't a big idea. Regina wrapped her arms around Emma's neck and kept mumbling different things on the way back to the hotel.

"Emma, I remember when I met you and I thought you were sooooooo hot. I thought it was a bad idea because you were a sponsor. Then I thought that Emily and Henry making it so we couldn't date. Then we were in Paris and the tension was growing and the Eiffel Tower. You know what I mean?"

Emma was going to stay silent because she didn't want to say something that Regina might not remember, so she just brushed Regina's hair away from her face. Regina fell asleep in the car, so Emma was trying to carry her up without anyone noticing, so there are no questions. She was almost at Regina's room when Cora exited the room to see Regina inebriated. She gave a questioning look to Emma before she walked back into her room. Emma undressed Regina from everything, but her underwear before finding a night gown in her suitcase. She put that on Regina and then removed her bra. She tucked her in and then saw Cora enter the room.

"Emma, stay with Regina. Henry and I will watch the kids, while you get some sleep. I'm sure Regina wouldn't want anyone to see her like this. Emily couldn't be in better hands. Get some rest and make sure to get some pain pills for the both of you. Breakfast will be brought up at 10 for you and Regina. Have a nice night."

Cora walked back to her room and Emma knew she couldn't argue with what just happened. She went to the other bed in the room and fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

The next morning, Regina woke to the biggest hangover she had ever experienced. She was looking at her surroundings and was utterly confused how she got back to the hotel. She then noticed a lump in the bed next to her. She thought it was Henry. She looked to see that it was 9 and there were pain pills on the nightstand with a note attached.

Regina,
There are pills to handle the pain next to this card as well as water. Breakfast is extra greasy and going to come to us at 10. I might not want to say what happened, but here it goes. You got pretty drunk last night and kept talking until you passed out in my arms in the ride back. I carried you back in and your mother saw us. She made me stay with you, so the lump is not Henry, but me. Henry and Emily are with your parents and we will meet up with them when our raging headaches are better. Wake me up when you get this.
-Emma xx

Emma was looking so peaceful, but Regina had to wake her up. Regina leaned over the lump until she saw Emma's face. She kissed Emma until she heard a moan from beneath her. She looked and saw green looking into chocolate.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty. How was last night? I don't remember much after the Kamikaze."

"Well, I think that you would be Sleeping Beauty because you did fall asleep as we were on our way back. It was delightful, but you missed a very heated make-out session that I don't think I'll be able to repeat until my throbbing head decides to quiet down."

"I can't believed I missed that. How were you not intoxicated enough to be disoriented? You had more to drink than me."

"I can hold my liquor, thank you very much. Anyways we have some time before breakfast, so how about pain pills, shower, and get dressed. I will shower with you if you're good."

Regina smirked. She turned around and threw her night gown off at Emma and walked into the bathroom with some extra sway in her hips. Emma was sitting gawking at her before she ran after the goddess. Regina laughed when Emma picked her up and placed both of them under the stream of water. Regina and Emma got into some pretty heated kissed before Regina made it a point to keep Emma from doing that at this moment. They finished showering and started to get dressed. Emma then realized that she didn't have her suitcase with her until she looked at the room's door and her suitcase was there. She quickly got dressed in her casual sweatpants and white tee and Regina wore something similar.

Just as they got dressed, the door had the bellhop with the most amazing breakfast. Bacon, eggs, toast, mimosas. They decided on eating in bed because they could and also neither wanted to leave the comfort of the beds. Emma was glad because those are good for hangovers and it looked like Regina needed a cure. After eating, the head ache was better and they could actual enjoy the time they have together. Every once in a while, Emma would lean over to Regina and give her a kiss. Regina would be smiling every time and would sometimes have a giggle escape. Eating took longer because they were told to hurry up from everyone else for some sightseeing.

They decided to go to Nijō Castle for an hour. The historic castle was fit for the queen of racing and her subjects. The architecture looks amazing with the different walls around. The defense was truly remarkable. It had different intricate defense systems to keep people out, but it was a sight to awe. It holds so much historical value with it's story and it was beautiful. There were lush plants growing in the castle and fruit trees. Emily and Henry were having so much fun with their adventure through this massive place with so much to see. Emma and Regina were linking arms and walking like an old married couple. That being said, so were Henry Sr. and Cora. It was so inexpensive to get in and there were translators available. When it was time to go, they had the perfect location.

Tokyo Tower was their next stop. The second highest structure in Japan. It was so high up that there were some perfect pictures. Emily and Henry were messing around with one another and running around, while Regina and Emma were trying to get them to calm down. The two women were also enjoying the view they had over the city and all the business. They spent some time in the amusement park. Emma would take pictures with Regina as the kids and some of the crew went on the rides. Regina dragged Emma on a ride with some cute characters and Emma could see that Regina was having fun. Emma made it a point to get Regina a souvenir before they left. This was more expensive because of the amount there was in the tower compared to the castle. It was still a nice experience for everyone and Regina got to take a stuffed animal with her. They spent a few hours there just because and went to their next stop.

Their last stop was Izakaya for dinner. A place to try Japanese cuisine. Emma really like Japanese dining and so did Emily, but Regina and everyone else were a bit inexperience with it. Emma ordered what she thought people might like and she was right. They had some small talk over dinner and Emma saw the reason she loved being a sponsor and traveling. The joy she sees when people try something new and like it and it's with those closest to them. She loved that feeling and she could see herself coming back soon.

They were going back to the hotel when the kids decided they wanted to go to Tokyo Disney Sea, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, and Disney Tokyo. Emma said that they could do that if they come back another time. She was willing to fly back out here and do all of that. Emily was in a better mood after hearing that. She then went on about what they would see at all these location. She was happy that she got to spend some time with her people.

They walked back and there were so many people. It was even busier than New York on Black Friday. It was interesting because they were from a small town, so there was a little panic in the group. Emma got them back safely and they all wanted to sleep because of the flight at 8:00 am. Emma and Regina tucked their kids in and then met outside the hotel. They had these longing looks that they didn't want any of this to end. Their next location they would have 3 free days total, but it would be their final stop. They would head back to Storybrooke in 4 days and they both didn't know what would happen. Emma leaned against Regina as they looked at the street in front of them. The experiences they've shared are the best they have experienced. They were comfortable being where they are and it was hard to think about their adventure ending.

"Emma, what are we going to do?"

"I don't know. I don't want this to end, but it changes when we go back. We go back to our small town. I am mayor with so much to do and you will still be a racer. I love what we have, but I don't know how this will play out. I am so busy and I don't think I can give you what you deserve."

"We could always see what happens when we get back and then decide."

"I just feel that if we do, for some reason, breakup, I wouldn't be able to see you. It's scary to think about. I don't want to think about it."

"Let's worry about this tomorrow and then we can decide what we want to do."

"Okay. Night, babe." Emma kissed Regina and then went back to her room. She started to think about all the possibilities. She didn't want anything bad to happen, but with their lives coming together, there might be some trouble.

Regina went back to her room and was doing the same thing. She knew that she shouldn't feel bad, but she does because she sees that this is hurting both of them. They can't make a proper decision because of their emotions. She decided to sleep it off and that this might go away tomorrow.

They were getting on the plane when Regina knew what could stop this whole inner battle. She has to end this before it tears both of them apart to be with one another. She would wait until takeoff and then talk to Emma. Hannah could fly when they talk and Emma might need some time. She hated that she was even thinking, let alone, actually considering this, but it might be for the best. She didn't have all the details, but she had the idea. The plane was at cruising altitude when she went to the pit to talk to Emma.
