Don't know anything about Ice Hockey, everything is from Google


Regina, Henry, and Emma drove about 40 minutes outside of town to Portland, Maine. The town had just taken down all of its Halloween decorations and put up the 'Happy Holiday' lights.

Emma smiled as she looked outside the window at all of the lights.

Henry and Regina smiled at each other as they both remembered the last time they came here and went ice skating. Henry remembers because it was the last holiday season they had spent together before Regina ran for mayor and no longer had the time to go on adventures.

Regina drove for another 20 minutes until she reached a Mercedes-Benz dealership.

Emma was happy looking at all of the giant bows on the roofs of the cars and Henry was loving the cars on display.

Regina parked and said, "Alright, lets go."

Henry unbuckled himself and Emma and helped Emma out of the car before getting out himself.

Regina held out her hand and Emma ran over. Regina smiled down at Emma, when she felt the little hand enter hers, and Emma smiled back. Henry took Emma's other hand and smiled. Regina looked at Henry with such pride it almost brought tears to her eyes.

They walked into the modern looking building and inhaled deeply, the dealership smelled like fire wood and gingerbread.

The car salesman stood up from his desk and walked over greeting the family, "Hello welcome to Trey's Mercedes, I'm Seth, how can I help you today?"

Regina extended her hand and greeted him kindly, "Hello, I'm Regina, and this is my son Henry and my daughter Emma."

Seth shook hands with Henry and bent down to Emma's height and pretended to shake her hand before he did a little magic trick and made a little piece of chocolate come from her ear. Emma gasped took the chocolate with wide eyes and said, "Woah!"

Henry and Regina just smiled knowing that he had the chocolate in his hand the whole time, but let Emma enjoy the moment.

Emma looked up at Regina asking if she could ear the chocolate, Regina nodded her head and Emma unwrapped it and took a bite. She was getting ready to eat the other little piece when he stopped and turned to Henry. She looked at him and held the little piece of chocolate up to him.

Henry looked at Emma and smiled, "It's yours Emma. You eat it."

Emma shook her head, "But you my brother, so we share. Or else its not fair"

Henry smiled and took the little piece of chocolate and said, "Thanks Em"

Emma smiled. She looked over at Regina with a slight frown and said, "Sorry Mommy, no more"

Regina smiled and ran her fingers through Emma's hair and said, "It's alright sweetheart. Mommy didn't want any. I'm really proud of you that you shared."

Emma beamed with the praise.

Regina then turned back to Seth and said, "I am looking to get a SUV."

Seth nodded and said, "Alright, right this way please."

Seth led them to all of the SUV's they had in stock. Seth stopped and looked at Regina, "These are the newest models, the GLA is our smallest SUV and the GL is the largest we have without crossing over to the Wagon."

Regina opened the drivers side door of the GLA SUV and smiled, the all black leather interior, the sound system, the automatic seats and windows; all improvements from her vintage benz.

Henry opened the passenger side door and whistled. He then opened the back door for Emma to see. Emma, not tall enough to reach the seat, hoisted herself to the floor of the back row and climbed her way up to the back seat. When she sat in the seat she smiled and wiggled around.

Regina was sitting in the drivers seat and Henry was up front in the passenger seat.

Regina turned to both Henry and Emma and asked, "So what do you think? Should we get it?"

Henry all but yelled, "YES!" Emma just smiled and nodded.

Regina smiled and got out of the car, "Alrighty then"

Regina called Seth over and said, "We love it. We will take it."

Seth smiled and nodded, "Great. If you would follow me I can get all of the paperwork filled out and then we can go and check the inventory and see what colors and such we have. If we don't have what you would like we can always order one and have it sent to the dealership where you pick it up."

Regina nodded, turned to Henry and said, "Watch Emma", before she walked with Seth to his office to get all of the paper work filled out.

20 minutes later Emma was in the drivers seat pretending to drive while Henry was pretending to be a racing announcer.

Regina and Seth walked up to the car and could hear Henry, "Emma is in the final lap, she's almost there! 500meter, 250,100, Finished! You hear that crowd Emma Mills the youngest Racer EVER!" Emma threw up her hands and high fived Henry.

Seth and Regina chuckled. Seth turned to Regina and said, "Your kids are awesome."

Regina smiled and agreed, "Yeah they really are."

Seth excused himself and went to go get the keys to Regina's new car.

Regina walked over to the open passenger side window and asked, "How was the race?"

Henry smiled and said, "Emma is a champ."

Emma smiled and said, "Yeah, I da champ!"

Regina smiled and opened the door, "Well come on my champs, it's time to go."

Henry got out of the car and Emma crawled across the console and into the passenger seat.

Regina lifted Emma and placed her on the ground, and took her hand.

Seth had pulled the new car around front.

Regina then remembered Emma's car seat, "Oh, Henry do me a favor please, go get Emma's car seat from the trunk"

Henry nodded and went over to the old benz and grabbed the car seat, the blanket and the emergency kit. Can never be too careful.

Regina opened the back door so she could put the car seat in. Henry handed her the car seat and put the blanket and emergency kit into the cool hidden compartment in the trunk.

Regina smiled at how responsible Henry was being.

When Regina got the car seat fitted in place she called Henry and Emma over, "Henry can you please help Emma into her car seat and get her buckled in?"

Henry nodded and said, "Sure thing. Hey Emma I'll race you to the car! "

Emma smiled and waited for Henry to say 'go'

Emma and Henry ran to the car. Of course Henry let Emma win, but pretended like she won fare and square. He lifted her into the car seat and made sure she was buckled in properly before closing the door and getting into the passenger seat.

Regina turned to talk with Seth, "So is everything in order?"

Seth nodded, "Yup. Everything is looking good. I talked to my manager and he said that it would be fine to ship your car back to you. You would just need to pay for the shipping and handling. If everything is on schedule if should be back to you in about 3-4 weeks."

Regina nodded, "Great, that's no problem. Charge it to the same card, if there are any problems please let me know"

Seth nodded and shook Regina's hand, "Happy Holidays Ms. Mills. Get home safe."

Regina smiled and shook Seth's hand, "Thank you Seth, you too."

Regina climbed into the car and smiled, "Well now that my errand is over what do you say we get some dinner and have a little fun while we are here?"

Henry and Emma both smiled and said, "YEAH!"

Regina drove out of the dealership headed towards the center of town.


Regina let Emma and Henry decide where they ate, they chose Italian.

Of course Emma got the chicken Alfredo sauce all over her face and Henry dropped some of his ravioli onto his pants, but they had a good family dinner filled with laughter and smiles.

Regina let Henry chose what they did next. Henry smiled and looked at Regina, "Can we go ice skating?"

Regina smiled and nodded her head, "I don't see why not."

Regina drove them to the skating rink.

Emma had never been ice skating before so seeing the figure skaters glide and twirl along the ice was absolutely amazing to watch.

Regina rented them all skates and helped Emma get hers on.

Regina sat Emma down on the bench and took her shoes off. Emma went to go touch the blades on the skates when Regina grabbed her hand, "No Emma! Emma these a can cut you, don't touch them, ok."

Emma nodded and retracted her hand, "Sorry"

Regina cupped Emma's cheek, smiled, and softly said, "It's alright Emma, I just don't want you getting hurt ok."

Emma smiled back and nodded her head.

Regina got Emma's skates laced up and was working on her own when Henry helped Emma off of the bench showed her how to walk in her skates.

Everyone was laced up and ready to get on the ice. Henry was the first one on the ice, even as a child Henry loved to skate. He and Regina used to go to the skating rink about 20 minutes from Storybrooke, until Regina took over the position of mayor.

Regina watched Henry for a minute before turning her attention back to Emma.

Regina took Emma's left hand and had her hold onto the wall with her right. Regina showed Emma how to move. After a few laps around Regina let go of Emma's hand, leaving her with just the wall, and skated in front of her, just incase she fell Regina would be there to catch her. "Just like that Emma. You are doing great! You think you can let go of the wall?"

Emma looked at her feet and then back at Regina, smiled and nodded. Emma slowly let go of the wall and was skating towards Regina. Regina was smiling and had her hands extended towards Emma, "There you go! Emma you're doing it!"

Emma smiled and kept skating, just as she was about to reach Regina she lost her balance and tumbled backwards.

Regina gasped and quickly went over to Emma, "Emma, sweetheart you ok?"

Emma sat up and rubbed her elbow, "Ouch."

Regina helped Emma get back on her feet, "You ok? Anything hurt?"

Emma shook her head and said, "No"

Regina raised her eyebrow and said, "Emma... tell the truth."

Emma frowned a little and said, "My ebow hurts a little. But its going away. Promise"

Regina nodded and said, "Ok, but from now on you tell me if something hurts. You want me to kiss it better?"

Emma smiled and nodded holding up her elbow for Regina to kiss better.

Regina gave Emma's elbow a quick kiss and said, "There all better"

Emma smiled and said, "Can we keep skating?"

Regina nodded and took Emma's hand, this time taking her to the center of the rink.

Emma was really getting the hang of skating when Henry came back over.

Henry smiled at how happy Emma looked, "Wow mom, she learned to skate even faster than I did."

Regina smiled and nodded, "I know, she is a natural."

Emma smiled at the praise but kept skating.


15 minutes later Regina decided to get them some hot chocolate to help warm them up, telling Henry to watch Emma.

Henry and Emma were skating when some boy accidentally bumped into Emma sending them both tumbling to the ground. Everything happened so fast that Henry couldn't even attempt to catch Emma before she fell.

The boy was wearing a hockey mask and holding a hockey stick.

The boy got up first and extended his hand to Emma, "Sorry about that, I was trying to show off a little. Seems I still need some practice."

Emma went to grab the hand when Henry cut in. Henry helped Emma up and turned to the boy, he was upset that this boy knocked over his sister. "Dude, what the hell. You didn't think to use the free rink to play hockey? There are kids here."

Emma didn't know what was going on but could tell Henry wasn't happy. So Emma tapped Henry on the leg, "Henry it's ok, it was a accident."

The boy turned back to Emma and said, "Thanks kid. See bro, all good. She's tough."

Emma smiled at being called tough, while Henry rolled his eyes and thought She's like five .

The boy was being called over by a group of teenagers playing hockey. He turned around and said, "Hey sorry, my friends are calling me. Look I really am sorry I didn't mean to knock her down. Forgiven?"

Emma nodded and Henry followed suit. The boy turned and then turned back, "Hey, we are looking for two other players. You two interested?"

Henry shrugged his shoulders, "Emma is just learning to skate and we don't have sticks or helmets"

The boy smiled and said we have extras, "We are on the Aylson team, we were supposed to be here for a game but 2 of our players are out sick so the other team canceled on us. Now we are just here for fun, with some of the guys from the other team. What do ya say? The kid can be a forward, you can play defenseman."

Henry looked to Emma and asked, "You want to?"

Emma shrugged and said, "OK"

Henry and Emma skated over to the group of teens. Everyone was friendly, and introduced themselves. The boy who knocked Emma over introduced himself and the team, "Alright so I am Sean, this is Randy, Luke, and Reily."

Henry nodded and said, "Hi, I'm Henry and this is my sister Emma."

Emma just shyly smiled.

Luke was another forward so he taught Emma how to hold the hockey stick and how to shoot. Emma was given a helmet once she seemed to have gotten the hang of it.

Since they didn't have enough padding for everyone they decided on no body checking.

Everything was going really well, Emma and Henry were having fun.

Luke passed Emma the puck, the other team wasn't sure who this kid was but she seemed to know what she was doing so they defended as they regularly would, just less aggressively.

Henry was about to jump in and tell them to take it easy, when Emma shot the puck into the goal between the goalies legs.

Everyone stopped and stared at Emma.

Emma looked down and said, "Did I do something wrong?"

Henry skated over and pulled Emma into a hug, "No way! That was awesome Em!"

Luke, Sean, Randy, and Reily all nodded with their mouths open. Luke gave Emma a high five and said, "That was totally sweet kid!"

Emma smiled and high fived him back.

Henry and Emma played for about 15 more minutes until they saw Regina standing on the side holding their hot chocolates. Emma and Henry took off the helmets and gave back the hockey sticks.

Henry waved by and skated over to Regina, while Emma got high fives from the teens.

Emma then skated over to Regina and said, "hi mommy!"

Regina smiled and asked, "Hi sweetheart, you two ready to get warmed up and head home?"

Emma and Henry both nodded. They all walked back to the lobby of the rink, took off and returned their skates, before sitting down at one of the little cafes with their hot chocolates.

Emma was telling Regina all about getting knocked over, and Henry getting upset, and then them playing hockey, and her scoring a goal.

Regina looked at Henry to check and make sure this was all true. Henry just smiled and nodded.

Regina smiled and said, "Well I'm glad you had such a great time. I wish I could have seen you play, but the line took forever."

Emma shrugged and said, "Next time, and you can play too!"

Henry just started laughing and Regina chuckled and said, "Maybe I'll just watch."

Emma shrugged her shoulders and took another sip of her hot chocolate.


When everyone finished their drinks and went to the bathroom, they headed back to the car.

Emma was buckled in and Henry was up front trying to find a station they could all listen to.

20 minutes into the drive home Emma was fast asleep in the back.

Regina saw Emma asleep and smiled, she looked at Henry and ruffled his hair.

Henry looked at her and smiled, remembering how she used to ruffle his hair when he was little.

Henry looked at Regina and said, "Thanks for today, it was really really fun."

Regina smiled and said, "Thank you, for finding Emma and for reminding me how much fun we used to have."

Henry just smiled and looked out the window as Regina drove back to Storybrooke, back home; and for the first time in a long time that's what Storybrooke felt like, it felt like home.
