AN: This story is just a fun, light hearted one. Some of you asked about Zelena being Regina's sister... i'm not going there. I'm not that good to write those kinda complicated stories. LOL. I just really loved Zelena and wanted to add her. I'm sorry. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Mwah!
...
Regina woke with a smile on her face. She stretched and sat up in bed. Thoughts about Emma's phone call and their texting into the early morning made her sigh happily.
She picked up her phone and saw she had two unread messages from the blonde.
[I guess you fell asleep?]
[Since you'll probably see this once you wake up, I hope you slept well, beautiful.] Emma had sent the last message with a heart emoji attached to it.
Regina replied, [I did. I hope you did too.] And added a kiss emoji.
She got up and went through her usual morning routine. When she got out of the bathroom she saw Emma had replied to her message.
Emma: [I woke up with a headache :( ]
Regina: [Awe, Did you take anything for the headache?]
Emma: [Yes, right after coach yelled at us for drinking.]
Regina: [How very rude of him!]
Emma: [LOL I know! What's your plans for the day?]
Regina: [I don't have any. I think I'm gonna give netflix a try and get to some of your suggestions.]
Emma: [Yes! Do that! Start with Orphan Black.]
Regina: [I was thinking of watching Witches of East End first. Is it as good as Charmed?]
Emma: [Not at all, but it's still good!]
Regina: [We'll see. What's your plans?]
Emma: [We're going sight seeing today. YAY! And then eat at some fancy restaurant with a view of the statue of liberty]
Regina: [Sounds fun! I need to get dressed before mother comes up.]
Emma: [!]
Regina: [?]
Emma: [You just told me you're naked...]
Regina looked at the message and blushed.
Regina: [I did no such thing!]
Emma: [Um, yeah you did.]
Regina: [Shut up! I have a towel wrapped around me!]
Emma: [Liar. Send me some proof. ;)]
Regina chuckled. She decided to take a picture of herself from head down and sent it to Emma.
...
Emma was laying on her stomach as she texted with Regina.
She bit her bottom lip when Regina took a bit long to reply. 'Shit! Was that text too much?'
She didn't have time to dwell on it long enough when a new message came through. She opened it and saw there was a picture attached to it.
Regina: [How's this for some proof?] Regina had sent with the emoji that blows the heart kiss.
The photo was of the brunette blowing a kiss into the camera. Emma swallowed as she glanced lower and saw Regina was indeed wrapped in a towel, but the brunette's breasts were just about covered and her hair was wet, causing water to drip down the brunette's neck.
"Oh my God."
"You okay, Em?" Ruby questioned and raised an eyebrow when she saw how red in the face the blonde was.
"Yes." Emma squeaked. She cleared her throat. "Fine. Hangover."
"Okay then." Ruby said and entered the bathroom.
Emma sat up and stared at the photo.
Her phone rang and the blonde jumped a bit, dropping her phone on the bed. She picked it up and answered the call.
[Hello?]
[Oh, so you are still alive.]
[Regina? Hey, yeah, of course I am why wouldn't I be? I mean... hi.]
Regina laughed at the blonde's rambling.
[Don't laugh at me! You can't send me something like that and expect to be okay.]
[I'm sorry?] Regina said, chuckling.
[No, don't be sorry. Wow, I can't believe you sent me that.] Emma said, sounding flustered.
[You wanted proof. I gave you proof. Want more?]
[...]
Regina laughed. [Emma? I was joking... Emma?]
[I'm gonna get you for this when I get home today.]
[I can't wait. What time will you guys depart?]
[I'm not sure, but I'm coming to see you even if we get there at midnight.]
[You better!]
[I miss you.]
[Hmmm]
[No, that's where you say, 'I miss you more, my love.']
Regina chuckled, [My love?]
[Okay, lets try this again. I miss you.]
Regina rolled her eyes, but a smile was prominent on her face. [I miss you more... my love.]
Emma couldn't stop smiling. She sighed happily over the phone.
[Guess what I'm doing right now.]
[Regina I swear to God if you're trying to...]
[I'm watching Orphan Black! That's it.] She quickly said.
[Oh.]
[I don't even want to know what you thought I was doing.]
[Um... We're heading out now. I'd love to talk to you, but the girls will be a pain.]
[That's okay. I'll just enjoy watching this and you enjoy your lunch! See you tonight, my love.] Regina added, teasingly.
[See you tonight, beautiful.] Emma said.
She ended the call.
"Life is great." She said happily and threw herself backwards onto the bed only to fall off the side.
"Yeah, I'd say!" Ruby laughed as she came out of the bathroom. "Thanks for the laugh."
Emma laughed as well as she got up. "You're welcome!" She said; gathered her things and went to the bathroom to get ready for their outing.
...
The girls were in and out of souvenir shops buying stuff for their family back home.
"Find anything for Regina yet?" Mulan asked Emma.
Emma sighed and shook her head.
"I had no trouble buying things for her before. Why am I finding it so difficult now?"
"You're trying and thinking too hard. It's Regina. Your best friend. You know what she loves. Just relax."
Emma worried her bottom lip between her teeth and walked around the shop again.
"We're leaving in 15 minutes!" Their coach told them.
Everyone scurried around the shop for last minute things.
...
On the bus everyone was excited to be heading home. Emma especially.
Ruby actually cried, because apparently New York is where she belonged. The city and she were one.
...
As they got nearer, Emma couldn't sit still.
The bus pulled up to their school and the girls ran out to meet their families.
Emma's mom waved her over excitedly. Emma ran to her and hugged her.
"Oh, sweetie. I've missed you so much. I'm never letting you leave this town again."
"Mom!" Emma whined with a smile on her face.
Mary Margaret kissed her forehead and took one of her bags.
"Come on, lets get you home. I made your favourite."
"Yes!" Emma said, throwing her bag into the back seat of her mother's car. She got in and looked at the time. It was almost midnight. "Um, can we maybe make a stop at Regina's first? Please? I promised her I would swing by no matter what time I got home and i..."
"Emma! Darling, just calm down." Mary Margaret said, raising an amused eyebrow. She started the car and pulled away from the school. "Won't she be sleeping?"
"Nope."
"Hmm, well we won't stay long, okay?"
"Yeah, yes, of course." Emma said smiling brightly.
Mary Margaret shook her head.
...
Emma had dozed off on the drive to Regina's.
"Emma?"
"Hmm" Emma mumbled.
"We're here, but if you're too tired..."
"NO! I'm awake." Emma said, already opening the door. She took Regina's present out of her bag and jogged to the brunette's front door.
"Hmm, window or door?" She said, aloud. "Nope, not window. Regina will kill me."
Just then the door opened.
"Emma?"
"Mr. Mills. Can I see Regina for a minute, please? I promise I won't be long. I just have to give her something."
Mr. Mills looked behind the blonde toward the street and Emma followed his gaze.
"My mom dropped me off. I promise I won't be long." Emma said, pleading.
"Very well, if you must." He said and stood aside.
Emma needn't be told twice as she entered the house and ran up to Regina's room.
Once she stood outside the brunette's door, she took a deep breath and knocked.
She heard shuffling and a smile graced her lips when the knob turned.
