Day 3, quest to find Robin. Set in the Storybrooke High verse. Future event. (

Regina was way, way, way more drunk than she was meant to be, they were on a night out and she found that people just kept buying her drinks. The gang had been reunited, with them all coming over to stay with Robin and herself in their Boston apartment, so it was safe to say there had been no holding back. It was the first time they got together in a while and now they were all over 21, everyone had indulged in probably a little too much alcohol.

Regina slung her arm around Jefferson as he stood at the bar ordering yet more drinks, she had no idea how he could drink so much and not feel it, he'd had the same amount as she had and he seemed to be doing perfectly fine. "Hello," she half slurred as she rested her forehead against his arm.

"Hello to you," he chuckled, holding her up, making sure that she didn't end up on the floor of the club, "god I am so glad that I don't have to put up with you being drunk like this all the time."

"Oi," she protested, hitting him playfully, "I never get drunk, this is your fault, you and your Hollywood ass coming over here and buying me a gazillion alcoholic beverages."

"How does your drunk brain even say the word beverages?" he laughed.

"I'll have you know that I am extremely eloquent when I have had a little bit of alcohol in me," she giggled as she picked up one of the shots he had just bought and threw it back.

"What happened to the Regina Mills that was scared of drinking?" Jefferson asked as she dragged him out onto the dance floor and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

"J, I'm a Chemistry graduate and am now doing my masters, I think that's probably what happened to the Regina Mills that was scared of drinking, my degree literally scared her away, I needed alcohol to pull me through that monstrosity."

"True," he smirked as they carried on dancing and having a fun time.

"Guys!" Tink's voice called as she came over with Lacy and Graham, "we're gonna go hit Venue."

"Okay," Regina nodded, she'd been there not so long ago with her new friend Kathrine on a night out and they'd had fun, that was until some guy tried to hit on the blonde and she had accidentally thrown up on him, something which made Regina laugh, even if she'd had to carry her friend home, it was worth it for the look on his face.

They all moved out of the club and made their way onto the sidewalk, "head count," Regina called, she didn't want to be losing anyone, not that she could probably count in her current inebriated state, but that wasn't the point, "is everyone here?" she asked instead.

"Yep, pretty sure everyone is here," Lacy laughed as she clung onto Regina, nearly pulling her tight red dress down.

"Hey!" Regina giggled, her hand coming to the top of her dress as she held it up, "I would rather like to keep my clothes on thank you very much," she commented, balancing on her black stilettos as Jefferson wrapped an arm around her from the other side and they all made their way down the street in search of their next location.

When they reached it, they joined the queue and waited to get in, Boston clubs tended to be busy, especially on a Saturday night, this place was usually rather exclusive, "I bet Regina can get us in here with her assets," Jefferson joked.

"Excuse me I don't think I am going to be flashing off my assets just to gain entry to a club, I'm sure Robin wouldn't be very happy about…" she furrowed her eyebrows and looked around, Lacy, Jefferson, Tink, Graham… oh shit, "fuck," she muttered.

"What?"

"Think we might be missing someone," she groaned, "we lost Robin."

"How the hell did we manage to lose Robin? You were doing a head count."

"I'm too drunk to do a head count!" she protested.

"When did you last see him?" Lacy asked, a frown forming on her face.

Regina huffed and shook her head, "I can't remember, maybe he was in the last bar with us, did anyone see him there?"

"I think so," Tink nodded.

"Oh bummer," Regina fished her phone out of her pocket and found that she had about ten texts and missed calls from Robin:

Hi Gina, where are you?

Gina?

Hellooo

Regina

Babe

Pick up

I'm gonna call you

(Missed call from Bae)

Regina answer your phone

This isn't funny

Seriously?

You left me in the bar

?

REGINA!

"Oh dear, we left him in the bar," she cringed as she looked at the messages again, "we're gonna have to go back and find him," she stated. She felt awful, how could she not remember about Robin? She couldn't believe herself, it was ridiculous, in fact now she thought about it she remembered him coming up to her and telling her that he was going to the bathroom, the thing was though she couldn't remember which bar that was in, so she didn't know where to find him.

"How could you not have seen where your own fiancé was?" Jefferson scoffed.

"I didn't see you noticing where he went," she huffed, turning around and heading back down the street, leaving her friends still stood there.

"Regina, wait," he ran and caught up with her, "I'll come help you find him. Guys you stay at the club and Gina and I will go try find Robin."

She nodded, knowing better than to go off alone in the middle of Boston, she looped her arm around Jefferson and they made their way back towards the bar they had been in previously, "I can't believe we left him there," she huffed, taking her phone out once again and typing a series of messages in response to him.

Robin!

Where are you?!

We've been searching all over!

Robin, we're at Venue.

Robin?

Robbie?

Send one emoji for still alive and two for not!

Hello?

Urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ROBINNNNNNNNNNN!

"Why don't you just call him?" Jefferson shrugged and she nodded in an agreement, that was actually a good idea, certainly better than trying to get in touch with him via text, she dialled his number and waited for him to pick up but there was no response. With a sigh she was about to press dial again when a picture of the apple logo showed up on her phone and the screen went black.

"It died," she stated flatly as she shoved it back into her clutch in annoyance, "come on, we are just going to have to go to each and every place we have been to tonight."

Just as they were coming to the previous bar, she had a flash of when she thought she last saw Robin.

XOXOXOXOXOX

"Babe," Robin came up behind her, pressing a kiss to her neck and making her smile as she turned from Jefferson to wrap her arms around her fiancé.

"Hello," she smiled happily, kissing his lips tenderly as she stroked her fingers through his hair, ruffling it playfully before pulling back to look in his eyes, "hi, are you having a fun night?"

"Hmm," he nodded, his arms holding her tight around her waist as she pressed herself against him, she liked to wear heels when she was with him, mainly because it meant she didn't have to strain as much to kiss him, not that there was that much difference in their height, but it still made a difference, "are you?"

"Yes," she bit down on her bottom lip, "it makes quite the change from my usual Saturday evenings."

"What you mean sitting in the lounge till three in the morning drinking spiked hot chocolate and revising chemistry notes?"

"That's the one," she laughed, that had pretty much been her life for the past few weeks, but now she was over and done with the first year of her masters and had a considerable break ahead of her before her second year started. Robin on the other hand wasn't at University any more, he completed his BA Honours in Fine Art and was now at a company in Boston, creating one of a kind pieces for different clients, it was his dream job.

"Well, I am certainly enjoying watching you let your hair down," he grinned, pressing his lips to hers again as she hummed against his lips, "love you," he whispered, running his fingers gently over her back.

"I love you too," she hummed.

"I'm just gonna pop to the bathroom," he stated, tucking her hair behind her ear as he pecked her cheek gently before wandering off in the direction of the restroom, leaving her stood on the dance floor.

Looking around she tried to find the rest of her gang and spotted Jefferson at the bar and headed over to him, "Hello," she half slurred as she rested her forehead against his arm.

"Hello to you," he chuckled, holding her up, making sure that she didn't end up on the floor of the club, "god I am so glad that I don't have to put up with you being drunk like this all the time."

XOXOXOXOXOX

"He's in here!" she nodded, all of a sudden they heard a loud wailing noise coming from the club, "what the hell is that?!" she asked in alarm, looking at Jefferson in worry.

"Sounds like a fire alarm," he stated.

Regina's eyes went wide, "what?!" she squealed as people began flooding out of the building and they spotted smoke coming from the upper windows, "what's going on?" she asked, catching a girl that was coming out, "what happened?"

"It's on fire," she shook her head, "the building is on fire."

"Robin," she breathed, feeling her chest tighten in panic, "Robin, he's still in there!" she protested and without thinking began pushing her way through the oncoming crowd of people.

"Regina!" Jefferson shouted after her, "Regina! Stop! You can't go in there, are you crazy?!" he caught her arm, pulling her backwards.

"What do you want me to do?!" she screamed, "Jefferson I can't just stand here and do nothing!" she kicked her shoes off and got to the door just as there was an explosion inside and the doors were thrown open by flames, she was knocked to the ground and groaned as she hit the sidewalk.

"Oh my god!" Jefferson dropped down beside her and grabbed her, pulling her to him as she shook, "Gina, you okay?" he asked panicking as she cried and buried her head against him.

"Where is he?" she sobbed, "J where is he?!"

"He'll be okay," J reassure as he ran his fingers through her hair, "you know Robin."

She was struggling to breath, her lungs tightening as tears began to roll down her cheeks and dropping onto the tarmac pavement below. The ring on her finger caught her eye and she just sobbed even harder, a panic attack taking over.

"Sir, is she okay?!" A paramedic asked as they rushed around.

Jefferson shook his head, "her fiancé, she thinks he was still in the building," he breathed and Regina could hear the worry in his voice also.

"I need to find him," she cried as she stood up, her legs wobbling as she went to move back towards the burnt-out building.

"Woah, miss, you can't go in there," the paramedic stated gesturing to the fireman who shook his head and came over to assist them, "she's trying to go back in."

"Miss there is no way that you can go in there," the fireman stated, but she wasn't having any of it, trying to shove him out of the way, only for him to have to lift her up off the ground.

"Put me down!" she screamed, "please! Please put me down!"

"Regina!"

Her eyes shot up and she saw him stood there, completely losing it, "oh my god," she cried, still wriggling to get down from the fireman's grasp, something which he allowed and she ran towards him, her body crashing into his as she held him tightly, "Robin," she sobbed, her tears soaking his shirt.

"It's okay baby, I'm okay," he held her steady, kissing the side of her head as she cried into his shirt.

"I thought, I… I thought you were…"

"I wasn't in there Gina," he shook his head, "you said you were at Venue."

"I was," she sniffled, "but I came to find you," she whispered wiping her tears as she looked up into his eyes. She was pretty sure that her makeup was halfway down her face and it was only in that moment when she felt her ankle begin to throb, "ouch."

"What did you do?" he asked, looking down at her foot, his eyes widening as he moved down to take her ankle in his hand.

"I'm fine," she shook her head, dropping down with him and wrapping her arms around his neck again, kissing his lips, "I'm so sorry we left you."

"I'm just glad you're okay."

"I love you," she whispered, pressing her lips to his tenderly.

"I love you too," he nodded, resting his forehead against hers.

She watched as he rose his eyebrows, "what?"

"Are they your Jimmy Choos abandoned on the floor over there?" he chuckled, running his finger across her bare foot gently.

"Oh, yes," she giggled, shaking her head and hugging him, "I flung them off, figured I was quicker without them."

"You must really love me to leave your favourite Choos."

"Fuck the Choos, I couldn't love anything in this world more than I love you," she smiled nuzzling against him.

"Are you going to leave the Choos then?"

"Shush you," she smiled nudging Robin and kissing him again, "take me home Robin."
