A/N: I can't wait to write the next chapters and bring more "action" in. I hope you all like it so far.

Oh, one more thing, I finally decided that I'll write Emma's and Regina's first time together ... it will be so, so, so, so beautiful, can't wait for you guys to read it!


„Hey, Em. Where's Regina?" Ruby asked as Emma reached the cotton candy stand. Her friend and Graham had been waiting for her.

"She had gotten a call and had to leave," the blonde replied truthfully. The ringing of Regina's phone had pulled the two girls out of their little bubble. It was Regina's mother, she had to leave immediately. Emma didn't exactly know what was happening, and she certainly couldn't interfere in Regina's family stuff, so she'd just kiss her goodbye and headed back to the others.

"Oh, she said to me today that she just came to meet someone. I think she has a girlfriend," Graham said. Ruby's eyes grew wide as she stared at her fiancé. Graham laughed, "Yeah, babe. She's gay."

"Oh, wow, well," Ruby sounded very surprised and shot Emma a short look.

Graham grabbed Ruby by her waist and pulled her into his chest, kissing her temple. "I think she's pretty in love. Head over heels … just like me," he said, searching for Ruby's eyes and kissing her passionately.

Emma thanked God that her friends were busy with themselves, otherwise they would have seen Emma's burning cheeks and her ridiculously bright smile. She turned around and bought a cotton candy, while her body was still vibrating from the encounter with Regina. A delightful shudder ran through her as she thought about Regina's words and her velvety lips. Emma felt blissfully happy, because Regina's 'I'll call you later, angel' let no doubt that they were a couple.

Around 11 pm Emma was getting bored. There was no trace of Lily, Ruby and Graham didn't let her alone, though the two were so lost in each other, sharing light kisses and smitten looks, Emma started to feel like a third wheel. Emma sighed as she bit into her glaze apple, when suddenly someone appeared behind her, covering her eyes.

"The hell? Let me go!" Emma shrieked, panicked.
"Nope," the person hissed in her ear.

'This voice …'

"August Wayne Booth!" Emma yelled, tearing herself of his grip and turning around. "You're an asshole!" she said, before her arms circled around his neck, hugging him tight.

"Woah, Swan, calm down you're crushing me to death," August laughed, amused.

Emma ignored his words and hugged him even tighter. Seeing him again after such a long time felt so good. They grew up together, but five years ago August moved to the enchanted forest.

They sat down, drinking, and talking like old times. Ruby was happy to see him, too. Something Graham wasn't so fond of, Emma noticed as she saw the jealous look on his face. 'Cute' she smirked. Although Graham had absolutely no reason for the jealousy. August and his girlfriend had been together since … well, forever. They were soul mates, like a fairy tale couple. Somehow Emma envied the two because such relationships were rarely present these days.

"Come on, bumper cars," August said at once.

'Oh no, what if Bae sees me?' Emma thought. The idiot would probably run to Papa, spreading rumors.

"Oh, come on, Em. Please, please, please. Pretty please?" August pleaded, when he realized that Emma was hesitating.

He looked at her with his big wide blue eyes, pouting like a five year old. Emma rolled her eyes, but couldn't hide her grin. He fist bump the air, when Emma agreed. Grabbing her hand, he pulled her, to the cars. As soon as the current ride ended, they sat down. The rest of the cars were also quickly occupied. August drove like crazy, each time he bumped with full force into the others. His laughter was really contagious, he made funny faces, making Emma laugh.

"Oh, what? Already over?" August said, disappointed, as the round ended. He rose and held his hand out for Emma. As the blonde got out, August smiled widely, "It was fun, wasn't it?" He pressed a friendly, chaste kiss on Emma's hand.

She grinned too nodding in agreement, but as she glanced over his shoulder, Emma tore her hand away in shock. Bae was standing about ten feet away, and suddenly came stomping toward them.

"Don't touch my sister, jerk!" Bae yelled and hit August against his chest. Emma's friend was totally taken aback and had no idea what was going on.

"Bae! Have you lost your mind?" Emma shouted, horrified. "He's just a friend!"
"Shut your mouth, bitch! Go home!"

What the? Had he seriously just called her a bitch, in front of all those people? A lot of people had gathered around them, craning their necks in curiosity. Emma's head was pounding, her hands clenched to fists, ready to beat the crap out of her goddamned brother, but August reached for her arm and pulled her back. "Don't, Em," he whispered, "Let's go."

But before they could even move, Bae went back to him! This time though August reacted faster, grabbed Bae by the shoulders and pushed him to the ground.

"Listen, little one. I am 20 years old and I will not beat you, especially since you are Emma's brother. But let it go now, understand?" August tried to persuade him.

Emma's eyes searched desperately for Ruby, but she couldn't find her. Probably there were just too many people here who had practically surrounded them. All of a sudden, about five people came to a stand behind Bae. Emma knew two of them. 'Holy shit!' These were the sons of Papa's friend. 'I am dead. Oh yeah, I am so dead.' Emma thought.

She pulled August up by the sleeve and tried to pull him away. Bae stood up again and jumped at him. "Bae, stop it!" Emma yelled, walking in between.

Instead of stopping, he pushed the blonde away. Emma lost her balance and fell to the ground. Then Bae shouted a few words to the guys behind him and suddenly these 5 monsters started beating on August! Panic rose inside Emma. Cursing, she rattled herself up, but then a strong hand held her in place.

"You better keep your nose clean."

What the hell? Killian? Was that some kind of bad joke? What was he doing here? Full of horror Emma saw how these assholes hit August. Her heart clenched painfully in her chest. 'It's my fault, my damn fault!' she thought in vain she tried to get rid of Killian.

"Let him go! Let him go, stop, please," Emma shrieked as loudly as she could. She turned to Killian, "What kind of bastard are you? Call your dog's back! Call them back!" she demanded.

Shocked and completely helpless Emma had to see how August was lying on the ground, no longer resisting. Weeping, she dropped to her knees. Tear after tear rolled down her cheek. "Stop, please stop," Emma sobbed.

No one did anything! They just stood there and looked at it as if it was a show, even enjoying themselves. No one bothered to call the police. Disgusting inhumanity! Emma buried her face in her hands and sobbed, she couldn't bear the sight of her friend anymore.

"Got up, Bitch. Go home."

Bae grabbed Emma's arm and pulled her up. She slapped his hand away and shot him a murderous look. The guys had stopped beating August, but they were still standing around him. "You'll regret that, Bae," Emma whispered furiously, "I swear to God, you'll regret that!" She ran to August and knelt beside him.

"August … August, I'm so sorry," Emma said barely audible. Her voice was trembling and once again she burst into tears. He was covered in blood, his face twisted with pain. "Are you okay?" she asked.

Before she got an answer, Emma once again was pulled up. This time from Killian. He grabbed Emma by the wrist. Emma tried to break away, but his grip was too strong.

"Who do you think you are? Don't touch me!" Emma cried angrily.

"Bae, I'll drive your sister home now."

What the hell? How did they know each other? Bae just nodded and disappeared through the crowd. The monsters were still standing around them.

"Let go off me, you asshole! I have to drive him to the hospital!" Emma shouted angrily.

"Now, now, look. This can be done by someone else. You're coming with me, otherwise I'll let the guys play a bit more," he threatened, a smirk on his lips.

Fucking bastard! As Emma glanced at August, she saw that Ruby and Graham were helping him. Killian's grip around her wrist became stronger, he probably meant what he just said. Emma gave in, she couldn't risk it. "Ruby, take him to the hospital. I'll call you afterwards!" Emma shouted through the masses of people, which slowly but surely dissolved. Immediately after, Killian pulled her toward the parking lot.

"You're a fucking asshole," Emma hissed angrily.

At last he let go of her. Pissed off, Emma soothed her aching wrist.

"You think so, luv?"
"No. I KNOW IT!"

He just smirked and kept going. "Hop in," he demanded, as they reached his car.

He wanted to reach for her arm, but Emma took a step back. "No need to touch me!" she said annoyed. Killian raised his hands in surrender, stepping around the car and got into his car. A sigh escaped Emma's throat, as she followed him into the car. She let her head rest against the window and closed her eyes.


Regina paced back and forth in her living room, shaking her head in disbelief. Her mother was sitting in the armchair with a perfectly straight back and raised chin, like the Queen she was. It drove Regina crazy! Finally the brunette came to a stand next to her mother.

"I can't believe you, mother! I thought you were dying!"

The Queen chuckled lightly, and that was the moment when Regina lost it.

"That's not funny, for God's sake!" she yelled. "You can't just call me whenever you want, pretending you're sick, pulling me out of my life and scaring the shit out of me! I have one, you know? A life, an actual life! And I'm sick and tired of -"

"Enough!"

Cora's sharp voice ended Regina's angry rant. She was panting hard, as if she just finished a marathon. Her face was red, her body shaking with fury.

"Sit down, darling. I do not like it when someone talks above me." When Regina didn't move, the Queens behavior changed. "Sit down, Regina. That is an order," she demanded. Regina fought hard, not backing off of the staring contest, but eventually she obeyed.

"When I call you, I expect you to come, Regina. That does not change just because you are living in Storybrooke for the moment."

"For the moment?" Regina huffed in disbelief.

"Drop it!" Cora warned. "Have I disturbed your night?"

"Yes, you have."

"Your night with … that girl."

Regina opened her mouth to say something, but she was unable to form words. Damn you, Sidney!

"Are you still not over that, darling?"

"Over what, mother? Being bisexual? Enjoying both men's and women's company? Enjoying both male and female genitals? No, mother. I'm STILL not over it. To be honest, I doubt I will anytime soon. Sorry to disappoint you."

Regina smiled sweetly, happy to see the displeased look on her mother's face. The Queen rose to her feet, clearing her throat. "I will ignore and forgive the disrespectful words along with inappropriate behavior, for your sake, Regina. I will return soon so we can talk like civilized people. For now, have a good night."

And then she was gone, leaving behind purple smoke and a frustrated Regina.


Emma couldn't stop thinking of August. He looked really bad, and it was all her fault. She shouldn't have drove with that stupid bumper car in the first place. Her phone vibrated. She froze as she took it out of her clutch, seeing a message from Regina. 'Oh, no. Totally wrong moment.' The blonde thought, turning her phone off and putting it back in her clutch.

Two minutes later, Killian stopped in front of her house. Where the hell did he even know where she lived? Not even Regina knew! Without a word, Emma got out of the car and wanted to go right into the house, but Killian blocked her path.

"Not even a thank you?"
"For beating the shit out of my friend? Fuck off, wanker!"

Emma wanted to pass him, but suddenly he grabbed her by the waist …
