A Happy end for a Dragon
Emma woke up tangled in the familiar embrace of her wife. She had sworn never to tell a soul that Regina Mills was a snuggler...she liked her neck where it was thank you very much...
Regina had her in a very possessive koala hug, or an evil panda, Emma thought chuckling to herself, although she refrained from using the 'e' word unless Regina mentioned it first.
She lazily rubbed a hand on the woman's back as she stirred awake. "Well good morning sheriff..." Regina purred "Well, well her majesty is awake" Emma teased and Regina smiled "You're lucky I don't punish insolence this early in the morning" Emma laughed "You are going soft my queen..." Regina grinned "that, and I have a child to wake up and feed" they shared a few soft kisses before getting up. Emma mentioned her plans of hanging out with Zelena and Ruby in the afternoon to which Regina simply sighed smiled "I have a feeling I do not want to know what you are up to.." a feeling which was further confirmed when Emma almost coughed out her coffee.
The morning found Gold at home in his spinning room.
He had turned to spinning when his protegé no longer wanted to be evil, he had turned to spinning when Belle left for that skimpy clad poodle, and he had yet again, turned to spinning when Cora had returned. And now that his wife had decided to open a magic sex shop...Well suffice to say he had enough gold thread to cover the town's clock tower and still have enough left to sell outside the Minotaur's labyrinth.
A sultry laugh came from the door "I remember learning that" Rumple smiled without turning his head "Oh dear...that was once upon a time" Cora managed to, as only Mills women could, hiss and smile at the same time "You better not be calling me old dear" this got the dark one laughing "I wouldn't dream of it dearie" he did love when his wife got her claws out. He turned to look at the red haired beauty that he knew so well. She looked like a goodess, clad in a sinful silk robe.
Cora eyed him lustfully "I was thinking dear, maybe if I showed you something you wouldn't be so..reluctant about the business" a hand seductively went under her robe...and produced the number of pre orders they already had! They didn't call him Gold for nothing.
Mal was in the societie's living room sipping some tea. She had about an hour before an appoitment with a centaur, and had already taught 4 ponies this it didn't stress her, working was finally feeling good.
She felt the presence as soon as she appeared "I hear you made quite a show last night" funny how even her voice had a saline and seawed quality to it Mal thought and drawled "This is why I am not getting an aquarium for this room" she smirked, without turning around, "I am surprised you'd care.. You failed to show up, as always".
Ursula bent over the couch, whispering in her ear "well I was not aware of the entertainment..." Mal could feel the smile brushing briefly against her ear. Ursula straightened and went around to sit on the oposit couch "Did the human witch complain much of my absence?" Mal smiled, it had always been this way between Ursula and Regina. Back then the young queen had sought Ursula's approval as Mal's only friend, and Ursula had always had an almost jealous streak when it came to Regina. Things only wore off on Regina's side as time went by, and the queen no longer needed nor wanted approval from anyone. "Oh was your absence inteded to deprive the dark queen of satisfaction?" She really knew how to irk Ursula...She could see the murderous glint in her eyes, as the sea witch spoke "please, dark was her mother, she is nothing but a child with an atitude! And I was under the impression that her reign had ended long ago" even in her human form Mal could phantom the rattling of her tentacles, usually the only indication she was upset, so she simply conceded "I suppose you are right.. although, queen's/ mayors, knight/saviour and sheriff are all kind of similar... It gives a sense that all has changed ,yet all remains the same" Ursula noded her agreement "ripples on the surface" she muttered.
Both witches felt the same in that moment, like the other was the only lifeline, the inmutable past that maneged to surpass the present. Maybe it was the complimentary quality of their elements that gave them a sense of completness. Mal broke the silence "I don't recall having aquatics scheduled for today" , Ursula shrugged "You don't. This town is simply a bore" it was true, Mal was the only one Ursula had ever wanted to spend time with, but the dragon did not need to know that, in the sea witch's opinion.
With Grannie's as they operational HQ due to Ruby's schedule, the wolf, Emma and now Zelena were going over the list of potential candidates "I ran some old contacts I don't know if they will pan out" the once wicked witch stated thoughtfully, the usual round of names and no's filled the background of the nearly empty dinner.
"How 'bout the Snowqueen?" Granny piped in "NO!"came the resunding answer, leaving Granny to once again mutter about probably knowing the dragon better than them, and with that thought in mind she sighed "Were I just a bit younger I would def..." Ruby quickly interceded "Gran please do not put that idea in my head" Emma just looked mortified and Zelena winked at Granny in agreement "I could totally picture her loosing the purple and getting something green" Emma's eyes widedned "Zelena you want to ah, add your name to the list?" Zelena laughed it off "Oh c'mon she was with my little sister..." she took a dramatic breath "Yet, if it eventually had to come to that, I would gladly sacrifice for my sis'in law's peace of mind" Ruby laughed knowingly and Emma simply muttered "how kind of you".
