Oh goody, I'm on my seventh chapter. Thank you to all that have read this, I love the energy it gives me to write.

Regina opened the door to Granny's, nothing was going to get her today. She had gotten home last night, feeling so energetic, that she turned on her stereo, and danced til she couldn't feel her feet. She didn't know what it was, but she'd been in a good mood since. Everything was a lot brighter in her eyes.

She stepped into the diner, and of course, as she predicted, all eyes were on her. It wasn't because she was wearing a yellow dress that didn't look tacky, but unusual on her, but the fact she was simply the evil queen. The woman they suspected would turn them into creatures that were small enough to crush, after they're false accusations.

She saw Archie sat on his usual table. She walked over and sat opposite him, greeting him with a smile.

That was all they could do for few seconds. "Hi," Regina said, smiling still.

"Hi," Archie replied. "So…who wins the best dance moves…me or Johnny?, he asked.

Regina put her finger to her lips, tapping them, with a hard thinking expression (that wasn't even serious) on her face. "Hmmm, well….as you tripped..Johnny wins.", she said, grinning at Archie's offended facial expression.

"Hey! Pongo left the bone in the middle of the floor, If it hadn't been there, I am sure my dance moves would of been spectacular.,he said.

"Archie Hopper, you are placing the blame on your dog? Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower., Regina said, fake shock on her face.

Archie lead over the table a bit. "Well Miss Mills, are you going to admit that my dance moves were amazing, or do I just have to figure it out myself?," Archie said, smiling again.

"Hmm, as you're a clever man, I am sure you will figure it out.," Regina said, smirking.

"I'll go get the drinks, shall I?," Regina asked. "Sure, make mine a hot cocoa.," he said, giving her his money.

Regina went up to the counter to order their drinks, met by the usual annoyed Ruby. Well, annoyed with her, everyone else was her best friend.

Archie watched Regina pay for the drinks. She certainly was in a good mood. Most people would dress according to their mood, and as far as he knew, she had never worn yellow here. It was a nice change from all the angry colours though. She looked lovely. Not that she never looked lovely, but it was nice to see her happier.

Regina popped the drinks down, then sat on her chair. Archie was in a daze.

"Archie…earth to Archie.," she said, waving her hand in front of the mans face. Still no response.

Then, she had a clever idea. It was almost hilarious thinking about it. She dabbed her finger onto the cream that was on top of Archie's hot chocolate, and placed it on his nose.

As if he had been electrocuted, Archie jumped a little in his seat, then spotted and felt the cream on his nose. Meanwhile Regina was giggling in her hand.

Archie looked at her laughing at him. Oh, so that's how she wants to play now?, he thought.

As quickly as possible, while Regina was giggling. He took a dab of cream out of his drink and added it onto her nose. It was Regina's turn to jump.

She just looked at the laughing man in front of her, clearly happy at his little revenge. Wiping the cream off her nose, she grinned as she wiped it on his cheek. Suddenly not wanting her to win, Archie did the same to her.

Realizing it was a draw, they grabbed the napkins in the middle of the table and wiped off the evidence of their childish behavior that had now been witnessed by Ruby. She didn't like what was happening, she knew what was going on…and it just wasn't good.

They walked out of Granny's, arms linked. Today had been perfect. Regina couldn't be happier to have found a friend in Archie. Who knew he had so much fun? He had told her how she had a different side shown to him, yet she had been shown his side. The fun side.

On their way to his, they spotted Mr Gold…or as for now, Rumplestiltskin, walking down the pathway alone. He looked miserable…

But they hadn't time to ponder on why the man wasn't looking in the highest of spirits, as they knew he hated being bothered, and they wanted this day to be drama-free.

It was nice to not be plotting for a change. Regina found she had spent more time laughing today, than she had in a very long time.

As they walked down, Regina had gotten something stuck in her left heel. Waiting for her to sort it out, Archie stood at her side.

As Regina was struggling to find the small,yet annoying object in her heel, she lost her balance. But, before she could feel the pain of hitting the ground, a strong pair of hands grabbed hold of her waist.

Regina looked around at her saviour. Archie had managed to stop her from falling flat on her face.

He lifted her, inspecting her for any injuries. "I'm fine. Thanks Archie.," she said. She suddenly felt Archie's finger touch her cheek. Regina froze at the touch. He touched the strand of hair that was in her face, pushing it behind her ear, making Regina shiver at his touch.

He looked at her and he could sense her gaze onto him. He looked at her face. Then her eyes. He had never realized it before. Her eyes, they were brown. He found himself moving forward, wanting to look deeper into her eyes.

Regina could feel herself beginning to lose her breath as she could only look into Archie's eye's as he leaned into her. She could see a few freckles now, he was that close.

She felt his lips connect to hers, the touch starting off sparks inside her. His lips were soft and gentle as they kissed her lips. She couldn't help but respond. She kissed him back, softly. Her heart rate was sky high. She felt Archie put his hand onto her cheek, stroking it with his thumb.

They pulled apart from each other, slowly. She could only stare into his eyes, as he could only do to her.

They both were catching their breath,only staring into each others gazes.

Ohhhhhhh, I left it at a cliffy, oh how bad of me. That's not it though, but yes, they kissed. Who was waiting for that to happen huh? I was, the suspense was killing me. Hope you loved this chapter.
