Authors Note: Finally finished that light hearted chapter I have been meaning to do. It's not episode based, so there will be no plot interferences.
Regina was preparing for work when a flash of movement caught her eye.
"You guys are terrible at working as a team, aren't you?" She asked Vanessa, who, like the others had before, come alone.
"Yeah. Most of us don't even like each other. But enough on that. Tell me, why exactly did you bring the fucking glass coffin to a world where no- one is supposed to know about The Enchanted Forest?" Vanessa responded.
"It was hardly a victory, and I hardly see the point in commemorating it." She stated.
"It's ridiculous. I guess that even though I despised Snow, it always impressed me how she made True Love work. God knows what happened when I tried the same." Regina confessed.
"I was really rooting for you and Daniel. If it makes you feel better, we already visited Cora." Vanessa giggled. "That was fun."
"What did you do to my mother?" Regina asked. She swiveled around. She was met by more laughter. And not quiet laughter. The kind that wakes up a ten year old boy in the next room.
"Mom? What's going on?" Henry had stumbled into her room, still half asleep.
"Who's this?" He questioned.
"No-one Henry. Just someone who I'm interviewing for a job as my next part-time secretary." She lied.
This struck Henry as a bit odd. What kind of job interview took place in the employers house at 4:00 AM? But he didn't speak out. It was 4:00 AM, and realizing that something was out of place is impressive enough. Lord knows why she wakes up at this un-godly hour.
"'Kay." He stumbled his way back to his room and audibly plopped onto his bed. Or so she thought. As soon as he knew she wasn't paying attention, he crept back to her doorway and listened.
"What did you do to my mother?" Regina whispered harshly.
"Something horrible. Truly horrible." Vanessa quoted, still giggling.
"Well?"
"It was about a month before you met us. Alex had the absolutely genius idea of making Cora's life miserable for what she did to you. It was nothing serious, just constant pranks for a month strait. We'd tie her dress to her chair so it would snag in front of other rulers in Wonderland. Painted all of her dresses red, but she kinda rocked that one. Oh, and we chopped off all of her hair, once." Vanessa made scissoring motions as she said this.
"You know, stuff magicless teenagers could pull off." She finished.
At this point Regina burst out laughing. It actually wasn't that funny, but the idea of mother with all of her hair chopped off was suddenly hilarious!
"You guys can travel between realms? And my mother's alive? Damn pirate. " Regina would be more angry at this, but right now all she could do was be happy that she was alive, if only to get these little stories.
"Yes, and yes, we can." A new voice, Alex, answered.
"And I brought photos!" He pulled out pictures of a bald, sleeping Cora, and one taken from a crowd. Cora had just stood up from her throne, and her (red) dress had torn all the way off her body. He was barely noticeable, but Alex could still be seen laughing behind the throne. Luckily no-one seemed to notice him.
These kids were really something else!
