Regina and Snow stood in Regina's kitchen. They were about to leave for Oz. Zelena had been very helpful, had even offered to drop by with a map. They were waiting for her now. Regina was always suspicious when her sister was this nice and than felt guilty for doubting her. Zelena was just trying to help.

Snow was saying something, telling some story about Red, but Regina wasn't really listening. She was looking at her phone and biting her lip. She had called Emma just before Snow arrived and the blonde did not sound good. She hadn't said much but she had forgotten they were leaving that morning and when Regina had asked how the night was, she said she had to go and hung up. Regina desperately wanted to see her and check she was ok but Rumple wouldn't keep up his side of the bargain until she gave him the necklaces and the longer the queen was around, the more damage she would do. Emma would have to be ok until they got back.

"Regina, are you listening?" Snow's question dragged Regina out of her thoughts.

"Of course."

Snow narrowed her eyes and slapped on her teacher's voice. "What did I say?"

Regina internally panicked and tried to think what the other woman had said. A knock on the front door saved her, she sped out of the kitchen as Snow's glare burned a hole in the back of her head. She opened the door to find Zelena carrying a heavy looking bag. "Hi! Come in."

She stepped back and Zelena walked into the house. "So, where's baby Robyn today?"

"With the fairies. They've been begging to get their hands on her since, well-" They stood a little awkwardly, neither wanted to acknowledge Robin's death or the implications it had had on their lives. Zelena covered up the gap with a smile. "I think they want to make sure I'm not turning her wicked."

Regina shut the door with a click. "And are you?"

"Hell yeah," Zelena grinned. "Wicked rules!"

Regina rolled her eyes. Her sister may still be a bad influence but she had good intentions and her smile was infectious. They walked into the kitchen and Zelena gravitated towards the shoes sitting on the counter top. She touched them lightly and Snow and Regina exchanged worried glances.

"Don't worry, I'm not planning on stealing them." Zelena read their minds without looking round. "Just- memories." She looked a little sad.

"Ok," Snow took decisive action and broke the atmosphere. "You have a map?"

Zelena spun on her heel and dropped her bag on the countertop beside the shoes. "Yes. But I was thinking, what if I came with you?"

Ummm no. This was a really bad idea. "I'm not sure. What about Dorothy? And all the people you terrorised as the wicked witch?"

"I'm a big girl, I can look after myself. And it's perfectly safe for them now."

Snow looked nervous, "Why do you want to come?"

Zelena shrugged. "Apologies to be made. Wrongs to be righted." She sounded so insincere.

Regina looked at her closely. Was it possible that Zelena was trying to do some real good here for other people? And if there was, who was Regina to stop her?

"Ok. You can come." Snow turned to her with shock across her face and Regina shrugged in apology. She wasn't going to limit her sister. "So. What now?"

Snow hesitated but her desire to help and to see Ruby was greater than her worries about Zelena. She slipped the shoes onto her feet and put her hands out. Regina took one hand quickly, it took a second longer for Zelena to take her other hand. Snow closed her eyes and clicked her heels together and they were gone.
