After her encounter with Regina,Emma had left the ceremony and went downtown for a drink. She sat at the stool and order a beer. She had screwed up big time and now she didn't know how to make things better. While on ther second beer she felt someone sitting behind her. She turned her head and found Ruby ordering a drink too.

''I saw you leaving the ceremony'' Ruby stated

''Yeah,I went to find Regina''

''It didn't go well,did it?''

''Not in the slightest bit'' Emma sipped from her beer

''You should try again'' Ruby offered

''She won't talk to me. Not after what I told her.''

''What did you tell her?'' Ruby asked

''Rubes,I remember what happened that night. Everything. I created the explosion that left all of you without memories. It wasn't my intention but it helped.'' Emma admitted

''So you know how Daniel died'' It was more of a statement than a question

''Indeed I do. He wasn't her patron. I think he was Jefferson's. I tried to explain this to her but she left. It's my fault though. When she asked me five years ago I told her that I didn't remember.''

''Why did you do that?'' Ruby asked without accusing her

''I couldn't. What should I have told her?That her boyfriend was not her patron?That he died because of someone else?''

''Yeah?Maybe she would have dealt differently with all this. However don't give up. You made a mistake go fix it.'' Ruby smile at Emma.

Emma finished her drink and pulled out her pocket to pay. Ruby stopped her.

''It's on me. Just go.''

Emma tried to insist on paying hers but she found no point on fighting with her best friend so she fled. Before she reached the door she turned to Ruby and said

''Thanks Ruby.''


She had drove with her bug till Mill's Mansion. Damn her house was huge. She'd never have been here. She made baby steps toward the door. She raised her hand to knock the door but she hesitated. She turned to leave but she heard the door opening and revealing Principal Mills.

''Mrs Swan what a pleasure'' Cora smiled at Emma

''Mrs Mills. It's nice to see you again!'' Emma offered her hand and shake it with Mrs Mills' one

''So what brings you here?'' Cora asked

''Uhm..Is Regina here?I'd like to talk to her'' Emma replied

''She's in her room. She said she's not feeling well. Maybe I should ask her first.''

''No,it's okay. Tell her that I stopped by'' Emma was ready to leave when she heard a soft clicking on the floor. She turned her head and found Regina coming down the stairs.

''Regina hi!'' Emma said awkardly

''Miss Swan I'm not in the mood for talking.'' Regina said coldly

''Just give me ten minutes and then I won't bother you again'' Emma pled. Regina seemed to be thinking for a few moments before she replied

''Alright. Follow me.''


Emma and Regina climbed the stairs and made their way towards Regina's room. She opened the door and let Emma in.

''Wow your room is really cool!'' Emma whistled

''Would you like a tour or should we cut to the chase?'' Regina sighed

''Right,of course. Sorry. Well what do you want to know?'' Emma asked

''Why haven't you told me the truth when I asked you at the hospital?''

''Honestly I don't know. I thought I did it to protect you from the heartbreak.''

''And by letting me believe that he died because of me was good enough for you?''

''I was young and I had all these memories of people dying. I was a mess. You didn't remember anything and that was for the best. Do you know how many times I woke up with nightmares of that night? Every single person that died on that day had come to haunt me. I did you a favour Regina.''

''Maybe I didn't want any of your favors'' Regina snapped ''Maybe I just only wanted the truth. These five years I believed that he died for me!That it was my fault!'' Regina was in the verge of tears

''I know and I'm sorry. But I didn't want all this from you. I wanted to live without the nightmares. I really wanted to protect you'' Emma whispered the last part

''But you didn't Emma. You didn't spare me of anything. And all these years I have guilts for the wrong person.'' Regina sighed and plopped herself to the bed.

''Maybe I can help you with that.'' Emma offered

''What do you mean?'' Regina asked confused

''Come with me Regina.''

''Where?''

''Everywhere. Let's do what I did all these years. We will travel all around the world. You will search for your patron and I for my protegee. It's the least I can do,Regina''

''You're crazy. Me unlike you Emma,have a job here. I can't leave everything behing to flee with you.''

''You don't have to come with me forever Regina. Let's just say you could come for a year or less and then you can come back.''

''I don't know Emma. It's a lot to ask. I have a life here. I am good.''

''No you're not Regina. You're just compromising. It may be tough at first but helping all these people will help you too. You will learn a lot of thing about witchcraft. Look I won't push you. At least promise me you will think about it okay?''

''We shall see'' It was all that Regina said.

''Okay,I'll leave you to it. If you change your mind I'll be at my parents. Goodbye Regina''

''Goodbye Swan'' and with that Emma left Regina


When Emma returned home it was already time for dinner. She opened the door and found her mother and her father setting the table. She left her jacket on the hook and joined them to the table.

''So how was your day?'' Snow asked

''Interesting'' Emma replied

''Where have you been all day?'' it was her father's time to ask

''Mostly downtown and the at Regina's''

''I thought you didn't talk with her.'' Snow counterd

''Well...'' Emma shrugged '' It's not that we're not talking. There were a few misunderstandings. But now we're good. And I might have offered her to follow me around the world''

''How so?'' Snow asked again

''She doesn't have a patron I don't have a protegee,she needs some time to cool off so that's the perfect opportunity.'' Emma beamed

''That sounds...good?'' Her father offered

''She didn't replied yet. And yes it will do her good. I know that we're not best friends,hell we're not even friends but I surprisingly care about her. So I'll help her. Besides is that what we do right? Help those in need. Whataver need might that is. Regina needs space to sort some things out and that space is not Storybrooke.''

''You are right,you should help her'' Snow smiled at Emma.

''That I'll do'' Emma said while taking her mother's hand in her own.


It was late at night. Both Emma's parents had already gone to sleep leaving Emma alone in the living room. She was sitting in the couch her legs spread on the coffee table with a beer in her hand and a bowl of popcorn on her belly watching some football. She was wearing a tank top and her boxers and had her hair in a messy ban. She was also wearing her trimmed glasses. Her eyes were opening and closing and when she thought she was ready to sleep she heard a knock on the door.

She stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. She looked through the peehole and found Regina on the other side. She quickly opened the door revealing the beautiful brunette.

''Regina?What are you doing here?At twelve o'clock in the night?Are you alright?'' The blonde asked concerned

''I'm alright Swan don't worry. I thought about what you said earlier.''

''And?'' Emma asked a little impatiently

''And I'm in. I will follow you in these magical mystery trip of yours. On one condition''

''Name it''

''We won't return until we both find what we're looking for'' Regina said with a shy smile

Emma smiled and replied ''Okay''
