Disclaimer: I own nothing except my idea… yup I think that is about it

Snow slowly opened the black gate to Regina's house casiously. She didn't know what to exspect and since Charming, Emma and Henry all decided to join her, to see if the former Evil Queen was okay, she really didn't know what to exspect.

"Evil Queen or Regina?" Charming as as he follwed behind his wife eyeing the black door.

"Regina" Snow answered with a sure nod

"I'm not so sure" Emma said she closed the gate behind herself after Henry entered. "We could walk in there and see nothing but black leather and blood red lipstick"

Henry rolled his eyes at his mother and pushed by his grandparents toward the front door "You guys worry to much, didn't you say Roland called her 'Gina'?" he said turning to face them as he stood on the porch.

Snow beaned at the memory looking at a surprised Emma and a questioning David "He did, I heard him" she exclaimed

"So she might be happy" Henry said with a smile of his own

"Happy and Regina, has never been in the same sentence" Emma said raising an skeptical brow

"That's not true" Snow said with a small frown "She was happy with Henry"

"Yeah" he chimed in as he went to gab the door nob but stopped frowning

"What is it kid?"

"Do yoy hear that?"

"What?" Charming asked

"Music?" Snow said as she craned her ear to the door as she heard what sounded like music coming from the Mayorial Mansion.

After fishing for his key and opening the door the music seemed to get louder as they slowly walked toward it. It was getting louder as they reached the kitchen followed by the sweet smell of something browning in the oven. The group peered around the corner and stopped in their tracks at the sight of Regina, dancing in her kitchen. Shirt untucked, heels off, eggs, flour... alot of flour, sugar, milk, heavy cream and a few other ingriedients that lay sprawled around the counter. She was facing the sick since whatever she was cutting was over there.

"...Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof, cause i'm happy, clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth"

Regina, so caught up in the music didn't see that she was entertianing an audience as she giggled and swayed her hips, bobbing to the music.

"Because i'm happy, clap along if you know what happiness is to you, because i'm happy, clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do" the music blared

Regina reached for a handful of sugar throwing it into the bowl before stopping to clap her hands to the beat giggling at herself. she turned to grab the dough that was waiting for her on the island when the other quickly reared back trying to remain hidden, so they could finish spying on Regina.

Henry thinking Quickly pulled out his phone as the others very discreatly peered over the side of the door frame to watch Regina dance.

Regina spun in a circle mouthing the words as she kneaded the dough, sprinkling a little water and flour to where it was either too dry of too wet.

"Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah, well give me all you got don't hold it back"

The artist sang as Regina waved her hand in the air with a playful frown

"Well I should probably warn you, because i'll be just fine, no offence to you don't waste your time and heres why" she sang as she grabbed a pan and layed the dough at the bottom while she spun around to grab the bowl she was previosuly mixing in; flour and sugar going everywhere as she laughed at herself.

"Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof, cause i'm happy, clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth, because i'm happy, clap along if you know what happiness is to you, because i'm happy, clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do"

She danced as she poured the contents of the bowl into the pan and placed the finishing touches on it before placing it into the oven where three other pans of different treats sat waiting to finish baking. As she stood she grabbed a banana, from where they sit by the side of the fridge and sang the next part of the song into it.

"Bring me down? Can't nothig bring me down, Love is too high to bring me down, can't nothing bring me down, i'll tell you now, can't nothing bring me down, can't nothing bring me down, love is too high to bring me down, can't nothing bring me down, can't nothing bring me down" she said as she whipped her hair and smiled into the make shift mike. Her eyes closing every so often to give her the feel of singing in front of people.

Henry watched his mother as she recorded her, him smiling and bobbing along to the beat, she seemed so happy in her own little world, he couldn't remember the last time he'd seen her this happy. There moments when he was little where they would dance all over the house but ever since he recieved that book from Snow and he found out about Emma... he never saw this side of her again. He never realsied how much he missed it until now, he smile, her laugh, the way she could be silly and laugh at herself. This is the side she tries desperatly to hide when if she were to show this side of her people would be more inclined to trust and want to be around her.

Snow, Emma and David watched in awe as Regina practically danced around the kitchen like a 16 year old girl at her favorite boy band concert. She had even gone so far as to run her index finger along side of the now empty bowl to taste the left over contents of her new creation, with a smile and never missing a beat she continued singing into her banana. This reminded her of a very public performance she did in the Enchanted forest, when Tinkerbell tried to cook up a spell to get her to be more 'fun and happy'

"Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof, cause i'm happy, clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth, because i'm happy, clap along if you know what happiness is to you, because i'm happy, clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do. Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room without a roof, cause i'm happy, clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth, because i'm happy, clap along if you know what happiness is to you, because i'm happy, clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do"

As he watched his mother, Henry couldnt take it anymore he quickly put his phone away and dashed into the kithen as he sang the next part "Bring me down? Can't nothig bring me down, Love is too high to bring me down, can't nothing bring me down..." he belted as Regina gasped and yelped at the sudden voice and body now standing in her kitchen grinning at her.

"Henry?" she said as she grabbed her chest the banana now lying on the counter from her dropping it. "What are you doing here" she said as a small smile began to creep alongside the corners of her mouth.

"Watching you be 'happy'" he sang as he smiled wide doing the carlton to the beat.

"Yeah Regina, who knew you were such a music fan" Emma said with a smile as she and her parents rounded the corner.

Regina's face immdietly fell "How long were you three standing there?" she asked deadpanned

"Long enough to know that you must have that song on repeat..." Emma teased as she picked up the banana talking into it "Since you know all the words"

"Not to mention well enought to mike it out!" David said "Whooo" as he swayed his hips in a circle as if he were spinning a hulla hoop. Snow and Henry laughed as Regina glared them flicking her hand toward the radio effectively shutting it off.

"Awe" they all groaned as Regina crossed her arms

"What do you want?" she asked slippig her hard mask on

"Oh come on Regina" Snow said as she smiled at her stepmother "Don't be such a party pooper" she said as she ran her finger inside the bowl to taste the leftover contents when Regina popped her hand.

"Ow" she said placign the finger in her mouth "Mmmm this is good, Regina" she said as Regina's face remained stoic. "Okay, okay we came to check on you... to make sure you were alright"

"And it looks like you are" David said with a teasing smile

"So... Roland called you Gina" Henry said as he climbed up on the nearest stool, smiling at the way his mother's face lit up.

Regina smiled at his comment and nodded.

"That's great, that means he's remembering and soon Robin will too" Emma said said smiling

Regina glared at her "Calm down Ms. Swan, none of this means your out of hot water with me" Emma was getting ready to defend herself when Regina raised her hand and stopped her. "Although I get why you did it. I was a bit harsh..."

Snow and Charming both grunted earning a glare from Regina

"Okay so I was ruthless back then when I was consumed with getting my revenge on Snow... so I can see why you rescued... Marian"

"Thank you" Emma said quietly. She honestly felt bad about ruining Regina's shot at happiness with Robin or at least prolonging it, until he remembered he loved her. Although she got the gist of the blood fued between her mother and Regina, she still didn't understand why she would blame her and not her own mother, since she was the one that killed Daniel. Henry's voice interupted her thoughts...

"So how about we go get lunch at Granny's"

"After what just happened a few hours ago? No" Regina said giving her son a pointed look

"Come on Regina, who in this town has not had some type of indiscrestion, present company included" Snow said "You would be surprised to know that alot of people are on your side, when it comes to you and Robin"

"Yeah it seems like he some how mellowed you out" Charming said when Regina scufffed

"No one mellowed me out, shepard"

"Uh, yes he did, you two were horrible in the Enchanted forest, with all the games, and pranks you two threw at each other..." Snow said

"Not to mention when you two weren't playing grabass at the breakfast, lunch and dinner table" Charming chimed in

"You were playing grabass?" Henry said earning a gasp from his mother

"Watch your mouth, and no I was not"

"So offering him 'an exclusive night with the Queen' was what?" Snow said eyeing her stepmother

"Just as simple as that, an invitation" Regina said quickly turning around to not look at her stepdaughter's gapping mouth.

"You were serious!"

Regina sighed bending down to take out the two bottom trays out of the oven. As soon as she checked to make sure they were brown enoough she placed them on the counter, now that they were ontop of the stove, everyone could see and smell the pasteries she had been making were peach turnovers and chocolate chip cookies. Snow and David were still staring awaiting her answer. Regina sighed again with a roll of her eyes "At fist I wasn't but when he... stalled in anwsering I found myself actually hoping he would say yes"

"But you two hated each other" David said frowning

"It wasnt hate, I was... I don't know how to explain it." She said trying to search her mind for the right words when she just looked back at them "I had to make nice with Snow, I was missing Henry, and I felt so incredibly alone..." Henry and Emma looked at Regina sorrowfully but said nothing "...That the first chance I saw to distract myself, I took it, and Robin was more than happy to oblige" she said smiling "He wouldnt let me get away with talking to him any ole kind of way and that's what I like about him, as infurating as he was in the begining I actually looked forward to our banter. And as far as the pranks, well he started it" she said as used her magic to make her a blue box, with a white bow on the top, the inside filled with wax paper.

"You both started it" Snow said as she watched Regina smile and shrugg

Taking a spatula she eased 6 of the pasteries off the pan and placed them in the box, each one still steaming hot. Then she carefully scooped all but 8 of the cookies into the other side of the box.

"Who is this for? And I never knew you new how to make peach ones" Emma said as she eyes the peach turnover.

Regina smiled at her and then turned grabbing to four plates from the cabinet and placing them in front of Snow, Charming, Emma and Henry.

"They're Robin's favorite and I am an excellent cook, so my repitore is full of diffrent recipes" She said as she scooped a turnover on all their plates along with a cookie.

Emma scuffed and gave a small laugh "Yeah right" she said eyeing her plate

"Oh God Ms. Swan, do you really think I would try to kill you in front of my son?"

Emma crossed her arms over her chest and gave Regina and knowing look "You mean the same son you yourself tried to kill less than a week ago and yes, since you strangled me in my sleep to the point where I blacked out"

Regina sighed irritatedly and grabed a knife from the drawer she was in front of, she took a small bit of pleasure watching how all but Henry... who was already elbows deep into his peach turnover.. flinched away from her.

Taking the knife she cut off a nice size piece off of Emma's pastry, skewering it to the knife and bringing it to her mouth eating it.

"Happy?" she said as she chewed it

Emma looked at her parents who shrugged and they all grabbed the hot turnover and bit into it.

"Oh my god Regina, these are amazing" David said as Snow and Emma nodded vigeriously

"Thank you" she said with a prideful smile

"So your going to give these to Robin?" Henry asked as he bit into the medium sized cookie

"No I'm giving them to Marian"

Just as she exspected everyone stopped mid bite and looked up at her confused

"Your what?" Emma asked her mouth full of peaches

"I'm going to give them to Marian as a truce. She was right, I should not have been in the woods last night with Robin"

"But you were drunk? It's not like you did it on purpose" Snow said

"And part of me thinks that she knows that, but reguardless it happened and I want to ensure her that it won't happen again. If... when I win Robin back it will be where there are others around to witness it, so she knows that no magic was used." she said with a meaning nod

"Okay" Henry said "Then were going to help you" Everyone nodded and agreed

...

It took hours for Robin to put Roland down for his afternon nap, he kept screaming for Mangyi. Robin sighed tiredly as he walked into the livingroom of the cabin holding a stuffed and raggety rabbit limp in his hands. Robin glared at Marian who refused to meet his eyes, he tossed the rabbit on the chair beside her but said nothing.

Robin sighed heavily placing his hands on his hips. What the hell was Marian's problem with the Queen, she had commited no ill will against her at all, hell if he was being honest thanks to the Queen and her need for revenge everything fell back in place. He and Marian were reunited... all of the events that led up to this point made it possible for her to be sitting here... in this very spot, waiting for him to scold her.

The Queen had saved Roland, she didn't have to do that and all though there were rumors that the Queen had gone... well good, he and his men still remained skeptical. But after seeing how she held Roland and comforted him and acted as if he were her own son... the rumors had to be true.

He sighed at the thought of her, not a tired sigh or an irritated one just a... sigh. He thought of how they met and his imidate reaction was to help her out of course, but to also admire her beauty. Her perfect looking skin, that long raven hair that shimmered like bronze in the sunlight, her Regal clothes that plundged down her chest so far it made men and he'd heard of even some women to swoon over. Her beautiful mouth that had nothing but sarcasim and wit to address him with. Her mouth he thought with another sigh. That mouth with that curious scar, that scar was the only thing on her face that was flawed, a scar so strateigically placed that any man, that glanced upon it would want to capture it and try to taste and see if it carried a secret of it's own. Could they reveal the story behind the pain he saw in her beautiful chocolate brown eyes, he could tell from the first time she glared at him that, it looked like she had been not only crying but carring such a heavy load, that a soft summer breeze would just knock her over. Maybe they held the secret to the her blood fued with Snow, or maybe even the secret to her heart.

Her heart? Her scar? Her lips? Her sad brown eyes? Where was this coming from? He had never thought of the Queen that way, so why was he now. Before he could ponder it some more he was interupted by Marian's voice.

"I'm sorry" she said barely above a whisper "You were right, I should have never acted that way" Marian said as Robin's eyes fell on her.

"Then why did you" he said not backing down from the anger that still resided in him. "Why did you embarass the Queen like that, at the meeting? Was that your purpose? Why you wanted us go?" He asked with an accusatory tone. Before she could answer Robin spoke again. "She had just saved our son, and you aired out her drunken indescrestion, why... how did you even know about that?" he asked with a frown. "Did you follow me?" he asked as anger was replaced with something she had ever seen in him before toward her, hurt and suspension.

Marian quickly stood grabbing his hands "No... I mean yes... but" she sighed heavily trying to gather her thoughts and anwser his questions as honestly as possible.

"Okay, I didn''t follow you last night I swear. I was asleep and I heard you leave out. At first I was worried that something might be wrong but then I just figured that I would try and sneak up on you and try and scare you..." she said with a smile and then she frowned "It... It's stupid I know" she said shaking her head and squeezing his hands. "I was just trying to be playful like we used to..." She said looking up at him and grabbing his face "And then I was hoping that after you yelled at me for being so horrible..." she said with a smile and shaking her head "We would... make love under the stars and... everything would be like it used to be"

Robin leaned into her touch and smiled back at her for a beat. He believed her, truly, it was what they did before Roland was born. Make love anywhere they they saw fit, gardens, lakes, huts, grassy fields and even at other friends huts. Then his smile faded and he looked serious again grabbing her hands and bring them back to his hands

"Why did you say those things at the meeting?"

"I don't know" Marian said softly pulling her hands from his as she turned her back to him

"Marian" Robin said sternly

Marian remained silent and shook her head

"Marian" Robin said a little more sternly turning her to face him

Marian's eyes were streaming with tears as she pulled away from him "I WAS JEALOUS OKAY!"

"What" Robin said confused

"I was jealous, there I was the woman who has been gone for... 30 years... which I have to keep reminding myself, because everyone in this damn camp looks at me as if I were some ghost of solstice past..." she said as more tears streamed from her face "Standing there... ready to make love to you under the damn stars and your just sitting with her... holding her as if you were distant lovers or something and when she... when she leaned over and tried to kiss you... I just..." she said shaking her head as if trying to remove the memory.

Robin grabbed her chin and tilted it up toward him and remained silent until she raised her eyes to look up at him "Marian, you have nothing to be jealous about"

Marian scuffed and pulled out of his embrace as more tears fell "I WAS DEAD FOR 30 YEARS ROBIN!" she yelled throwing her arms out "I keeping being told I died months after giving birth to Roland and that its been 30 years" she whispered as if afraid someone might be listening "But the worst part is... I don't remember any of it." she said pointing to herslef. She took in a raspy breath and cleared her throat speakign normally again "I have to deal with or constantly remind myself that according to you and the others, that you mourned me, they mourned me... Roland mourned me. That there was a moment when the mourning stopped and you moved on or let me go. So yes, to see you hold another woman as powerful and as wealthy as The Evil Queen herself, whose very beauty has brought men, rumored to be champions and gods amoung men to their knees... hurt me and made me angry..."

Robin grabbed Marian and was releaved when she didn't push him away. "Marian" but before he could say anything she kept talking.

"I wanted to go to the meeting to embarass her" Marian said softly as she stepped out of his touch yet again but this time she didn't turn from him, so Robin didnt try to grab her. He let her have her space. "And to let her know that you were mine and she couldnt have you"

"But when she saved Roland..."

"When she saved him, I wanted nothing more then to hug her myself!" Marian exclaimed "We were agruing over something so stupid and petty and Roland almost got hurt because it... when I saw Roland safely in her arms, I could have kissed the woman but then I saw the way she looked at you and then that damn jacket... that I asked you about this morning... was lying in her bag as if she was keeping apart of you with her always... or..." Marian continued to ramble when Robin grabbed her and kissed her passionately. She tried pushing him away but he held on to her, and she soon kissed him back just as passionatly as he was. They broke apart and Marian immediatly placed her head onto his chest.

"I'm so sorry" she whispered

"Marian, you have nothing to be jealous of... I don't want the Queen. I haven't even been around her to want her." he said as Marian looked up at him. "You have nothing to worry about" he said as he gently kissed her lips again "I love you and I am more than happy to have you back into my life. 30 years or a hundred I would have always wished and prayed to have you back in my arms" Robin said as Marian's eyes filled with tears again.

"I love you too, Robin; and I really am sorry about how I acted" she said as tear fell

Robin sighed and used his thumb to wipe it away "I know... but the person you should really be appologizing to is the Queen" he said with a soft smile.

Marian nodded and sighed as well looking down and then she looked up at him with a smile of her own "Do you think she will roast me before or after I try an apologize?"

Robin sighed with a short chuckle "Marian, the way you behaved I would do it before" he said with a chuckle when her mouth fell open with mock insult. Before she could say anything more kissed her playfully again.

...

Roland tossed and turned in his sleep as visions of the lady with the sad eyes, face hidden behind her cloak, laughing at his attempt to find Mangyi. They were back in the park and he was on the swings with Mahgyi when the woman came up from behind him, stopping the swing and snatching Mangyi from him. She ran and he chased her around the playground and down the slide but when she came out Mangyi was not in her hands.

"Where is he?" he demanded but the woman just shook her head. Roland became angry and stomped away from her to check behind the bushes. The woman followed close behind just smiling and giggling.

Roland glanced at her every so often with the nastiest glare he coud muster which only made her laugh even harder.

"You're to cute too frown your face like that" she said in a voice that sounded to familar to be a stranger

Roland looked at the woman "Papa told me to tell you that Mangyi is mine and you can't take him!"

"Your papa sounds wise..."

"He is!"

"Oh yeah, well if he told you that I couldnt take him from you... then where is he?"

Roland ignored the woman and walked behind the bush to see nothing and he sighed sadly

"Why do you like that ugly thing anyway"

"Because it's mine and it makes me feel safe!" Roland yelled "It was made by magic!"

The woman knealt down in front of him and Roland backed away a step so she couldnt reach out and grabbed him, if she wanted to "That toy is dangerous and the woman who gave it to you is even more dangerous"

"The Queen saved me"

"The Queen tricked you, and as long as that magic toy is around you, you will always be under her spell"

"NO I'M NOT! YOUR JUST MAD BECAUSE I HAVE A MAGIC TOY AND YOU DON'T! THAT'S WHY YOU CRY WHEN YOU SEE ME! BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST JELLY!... Jelly-us... Jail us" Roland frowned trying to say the word right and then he just sighed harshly "YOUR JUST JELLY THEN!" he said and the look in the woman's eyes made him satisfied at his insult to her. If she could bully him then he would do the same.

The woman lunged out and grabbed Roland before he could run and pulled him so close he could almost see the structure of her face in the pitch black shadows of the hood which only showed her sad brown eyes.

"I am not Jealous of that monster and you shouldn't like her so much she's a bad person and she will hurt you" she said harshly as her grip tightened on his arms.

Roland opened his mouth to speak when another figure showed up, dressed in all black with silver accents, she looked like a female knight. She had on fancy black leather pants, that looked to have some form of a dramatic skirt attached to the waist of it. She wore underneath and over top her black form fitting jacket was a silver hauberk which was fashioned to mimic dragon scales, it hung on her waiste, her shoulders, her neck and was fashioned into her headdress. Which was beatifully worn to dangle right between her eyebrows. Her long Raven hair was pulled into a high pony tail and she wore soft make up with a burgundy lipstick.

"Leave the peasant baby alone" the woman said with a bored tone

"What are you doing here" the woman with the sad eyes said

"Majestry?" Roland asked as he gwaked at the woman

The woman rolled her eyes "Yes peasant baby... Majestry" she said micking his pronouciantion of the word. "Although I perfer your other name... what was it you called me?" she said pacing a blcak gloved hand along her chin "Bad Gina" she said with a smile.

Roland stood confused that name sounded familiar and although he knew what bad meant somewhere deep inside of him was actually happy to see Bad Gina.

"You have no business here, witch" the woman with the sad eyes sad

"I have no business, for the past week and a half you have been tormenting this child, and you call me a witch?"

"Bad Gina?" Roland said confused he knew the name meant somehing to him he just couldnt place it. He had remembered he called the Queen Gina back in the Enchanted Forrest, she had even put him in bed and read him a story all in the same memory but he doesn't remember even seeing her after she had given him his Mangyi.

"Not now peasant baby" Bad Gina replied as she took a step forward

The lady with the sad eyes took a step back "I don't want him playing with that thing, he thinks I'm being mean when I actually helping him"

"You call taking a toy from a child and hiding it... helping" Bad Gina said her voice dangerously low. "Now I will give you a chance to find another dream to haunt or we can fight it out right here in front of the boy"

"You would fight in front of this child?"

"You would steal from this child?" Bad Gina said as she took another step forward creating a fireball

The woman with the sad eyes looked at Roland and he looked back at her, her brown eyes shined with tears and she took a tentative step toward him "I will not fight in front of you Roland" she said as she turned her eyes on the Queen and the saddness was replaced with a deathly glare "I will see you again"

"Count on it" she said as the woman turned an disapeared right before his eyes.

Roland looked up at the Queen and walked toward her as she snuffed out the fireball

"What do you want baby peasant?" she said not acknowledging him and picking her nails

"I think I know you but I can't remember" Roland said softly "You look like the Queen but you talk and look different" he said looking at her outfit

Bad Gina looked down at him and smiled "Have you ever heard of the Evil Queen?"

Roland's eyes enlarged and he nodded his head

"Well I am the Evil Queen and I don't like you" she said with a curl of her lip

"Why" he asked with a frown, forget the fact that she just claimed to be the biggest villian in all the land but what upset him the most is the fact that she did not like him and he wanted to know why.

"Because you do know me and you forgot me... so I don't like you" she said as she turned and walked away.

"Wait" Roland yelled as he follwed behind her "But if I know you, then why can't I remember you"

"Becuase you and your thief of a father are too weak and simple minded!" she called behind her walking down the concrete path.

Roland stopped for a second but ran to catch up "You know my papa?" he asked but the Queen ignored the question

"He forgot you too" he asked softly and she stopped "I'm sorry" he said as he walked up to her, her back still to him and he grabbed her hand. She looked down at it for a while and then at him.

"Why?" she asked softly but never moved to remove her hand.

"Because you helped me and I don't know..." he said shrugging his shoulders "You make me feel safe, since I don't have Mangyi" he answered honsetly. "And you helped me, with the sad lady"

"The sad lady is a bully, but she's right about me being bad, its why you nicknamed me Bad Gina" she said with a sad look.

"Well, maybe I can help you be good Gina" Roland said with a deep dimpled smile as he squeezed her hand gently.

She looked at him and smiled soflty "I don't know what it is about you peasant baby that makes me believe you... but I do"

Roland smiled at that releasing a little chuckle which made Bad Gina smile even wider "Papa says its my dimples, they help me get away with a lot"

The Queen laughed at that and smiled back "Well cute or not we need to work on your insults calling someone jelly won't do"

"I didn't know how to say the word" he said looking down

"Well don't fret, peasant baby, I shall teach you enough insults that will make any Evil mastermind blush" she said proudly as she walked forward, Roland's little hand in hers.

"Are you going to teach me something that will get me in trouble?" Roland asked seriously looking up at Bad Gina's devilish grin.

"Yes"

Roland stopped walking "Then I don't want to learn"

"Ugh, why not we used to do bad things all the time" she argued

"When?"

"You don't remember but we did, we played tricks on your papa hundreds of times when we were in the Enchanted Forest... forget it! Go play by yourself" she said as she walked off angry

"Gina wait!" Roland yelled and she stopped and turned around

"What"

Roland walked toward her with a serious face "I don't want to learn bad things with you..." he said as The Queen rolled her eyes, but before she could move to walk away Roland grabbed her hand again "But if you help me remember you, I promise to help papa too"

Bad Gina thought hard about it and then looked down at him knealing to look him in the eyes. "Okay, but you must not tell anyone, what we do here, do you think you can promise me not to tell anyone"

Roland nodded his head

"I'm serious Roland, no one must know or they will try to stop us. I have trusted a child in the past and she told a very important secret that caused something bad to happen, can I trust you to keep this a secret?" she asked as she looked into his eyes

"Yes" Roland said assuringly as he leaned in and wrapped his hands around her neck. She knealt there for a second not knowing what to do with this gesture. It had been so long since anyone had hugged her or even wanted too other than the thief but here this child was embracing her and not wanting anything in return but to get to know her. She gently wrapped her arms around him and and heard him sigh contantly as he inhaled her fruity scent.

"Okay" she said softly as she pulled away from him and noticed a tear fall from her eye. he used the sleeve of his shirt to wipe it and then he smiled at her

"I want to show you something, close your eyes" she said as she smiled. Roland closed his eyes "Are you going to kiss me?" The Queen smiled at that and then shook her head "Maybe next time" and Roland smiled even harder.

Enchanted forrest past

Roland came charging down the corridor and through the double doors with the worlds biggest grin on his face. He ran straight to her running and weaving through the dinner tables that held what was left of the entire kingdom. Snow had the idea of redoing the grand ballroom as a sort of lunch area for her people until they thought it was safe enough to go back to rebuild the villiages. Since their castle was one of the largest, another area was fashioned into a giant bed chamber for everyone. Or course Regina took over the enitre floor with her bedchamber on it, saying it was so she would her privacy but Granny saw right through that and later informed Snow and the Prince who were both angry with her decsion, that it was because she still did not trust the people and was afraid they would try to harm her while she slept.

So Snow came up with the idea that all Royalty would be on that floor leaving two rooms between The Queen's bed chamber on either side so she would have her 'Privacy' and not be disturbed, which left at least 20 other fully furnished rooms on the floor.

The sound of his laughter had her smiling as she placed her fork down and turned in her chair to see Roland grinning like mad and running toward her. She turned to catch him as he crashed into her legs "Roland, are you being naughty again"

Roland nodded his head proudly, too out of breath to use words. Regina smiled deviously "Is it your Papa?"

Roland breathing hard nodded agian looking behind him to see if his father had caught up yet.

"It's too early to be nap time, you haven't eaten yet, so why is he chasing after you?" she asked as everyone at the table just watch her interact with the boy. Roland just shrugged giving her an innocent smile. She sighed and finally took in his apperance his face was covered in dirt and his hands and clothes looked the same.

"Roland, your filthy"

"Papa... said... I have... to take a... bath" he got out as he looked back at the door to see his Papa run into it. Regina couldn't resist playing tricks on the thief, if anyone really disescted the fact that she only does things to get a raise out of Robin, would think she did it because she like him.

"Okay, hide under the table and don't make a sound, okay?"

Roland giggled and ran under the table while Regina turned her back on the frantic looking theif and picked up her fork,

"Regina" Snow scolded as she Charming, Granny, Ruby, a few of the dwarves, other royalty families and or course Belle and Neal all looked at her. "What are you doing Robin is looking for him"

"Oh hush, Snow I very well remember you hiding from your father and the maids when Leopold told you to clean your room"

"That's not the same I was 10 he's 4" she whispered quickly as Robin approached their table.

"I'm sorry Mi'Lady's but have you seen my son, he's run off because I've told him he needed a bath"

Before anyone could address Robin Regina spoke first "So he's practicing the habits of his father, to let the forrest stench, linger on him. How can you ask him to take a bath when you smell just as bad" Regina said as she placed a forkful of salad in her mouth, she didnt even turn to acknowledge him.

Robin sighed irritated "So you haven't seen him"

"Nope" she said between chews fighting her growing smile

"Robin" Snow began when Regina glared at her from across the table. She would have kicked her but she was afraid she might hit Roland and his cover would be blown. "Perhaps you haven't looked everywhere, he's small he could be... under something" she said looking at Regina, giving her a glare of her own.

Robin wasn't by any chance a dummy and caught on when Charming smiled and motioned his eyes toward the table.

"Mi'Lady would you mind satnding for me" he asked as Regina glared at both Charming and Snow

"I'm eating" she said deadpanned

"It will only take a second"

"Yeah Regina, if you have nothing to hide just stand up" Neal said with a cocky grin

Regina glared at them all for trying to ruin her fun "Fine, but when he is not under the table I want an apology from all you and you thief..." she said grabbing her silver goblet and pushing her chair back "Will get me another plate, since your forrest stench had ruined this one" she said standing.

Everyone rolled their eyes and she stepped back as Robin quickly leaned down and lifted the table cloth, looking up and down the the table only to be met with a few eyes that had knealt down to see if they could see a hiding Roland and legs.

Robin sighed standing looking a Regina "Apologises, Mi' lady" he said as he turned to face her. "I shall get you another plate"

"Don't bother I'm not hungry any more" she said as she took a sip from her cup. Everyone at the table looked back and forth between under the table an at Regina, David even went so far as to get down and look under there himself, just to make sure he was hanging along the top of it. As everyone sat looking bewildered Granny watched as a pair of tiny hands and a head popped out the back and bottom of Regina's elegant black and purple gown. She smiled impressed, so that is where that little bandit went.

"Maybe I can make it up to you" Robin offered

"And have someone complain about thievery, I rather not"

Snow gasped as Ruby pointed to Roland who was trying very hard not to snag Regina's dress as he crawled out of it. Regina Quickly lowered her cup and discretely waved her hand, using her magic to close Snow's mouth.

Robin turned to Snow who was glaring at Regina, Robin squinted when he saw that her mouth was glowing a slight purple.

"Your Majesty, you're certain you have not seen my son, because I simplely would like to get rid of the smell you claim to hate so much."

"And I would like nothing more than for you to handle it but like I said I have no idea where..."

"Behind her" Charming blurted out as Regina shot him a glare and Robin smiled moving Regina out of the way so he could get his son. Regina waved her hand and every mouth at the table was sealed shut and no one could mave except for Granny who looked to be enjoying the game of hide the theif's son.

Robin gently but firmly moved Regina to the side to find... nothing. He looked back at her and then at the table where everyone was sitting strangely still. Regina glanced behind Robin when he turned to look at the table,standing directly behind him was Roland smiling like crazy and holding his mouth so he wouldnt make a sound.

Regina quickly put her finger on her lips when Roland's giggle escaped. And Robin turned to face her again, upon seeing her expression he then he turned around and did an entire 3600. By now others in the dining hall watched the game. Some laughing others yelling out suggestions as Regina tried desperatly to hide Roland and freezing those who gave away his position. Roland ended up back under the table, in Belle's lap, floating above everyone, standing in between Snow and David's chair and now finally back under the table.

"You're Majesty!" Robin yelled getting frustrated with this game. His voice was so loud Regina jumped a bit.

"Okay, okay, thief I have had my fun" she said with a smile as she placed he goblet down on the table and walked around him like a valture. Robin glared at her "I have been hiding Roland"

"No shit" he said anger rolling off him

Regina smiled even wider "Clearly you didn't like this game" she said stopping in front of him. "Good" before Robin could say anything else Regina spoke first. "If you can guess where he will be next, and get it right I shall not play this game on you again..." a audible gasp was heard from under the table as Roland feared he would not be able to play games with the Queen again. "But..." she quickly added "If you should lose, you will no longer be allowed to come within 100 feet of me for the duration of your stay here" Regina said with a huge grin

"I'll try and contain my disappointment" Robin said deadpanned as Granny laughed

"Oh, please do because that means, all meetings, all events I attend you will not be allowed to go. It's bad enough I have to sit in a closed room and inhale that reek rolling off" she said with a wave of her hand."Then to have to suffer upon it when we have other events"

"Fine" Robin said smiling "But lets make this intresting you loose and you will have to work the fields with Little Jon and myself for an afternoon" he said as he crossed his arms. He couldn't bare to take Roland's new game away from him no matter how annoying it was.

"I will not!"

"What's the matter your Majesty, afraid you'll lose?" Robin taunted

"Fine your on" she said as she glared at him

Robin watched as she looked between him and the table, whom he suspected Roland was looking at her. She smiled and looked back at Robin keeping her eyes on him as she waved her hand. In a milisecond her eyes darted down, now any normal person would have missed it but since Robin was a hunter and a thief he knew how catch glimpses like that and read faces and her face although perfectly sill and unshowing to the average eye, gave away Roland's position. And as soon as her hand went still he lunged forward wrapping his hand around her body and pullling her so close their noses touched.

Regina so focused on the closeness and the fact that Robin had his arms around her body that she dropped the spell on everyone and looked him deep in the eyes.

He moved his hand slowly down her back and didn't miss how her breath hitched and her pulse quickened. He finally got down to where her butt should have been and came in contact with a bundle of soft curly hair and soon a pair of eyes and a nose. Robin smiled brightly as he hooked his finger on Roland's collar and pulled him from behind the Queen.

"I win you're Majesty" he said as he stepped back picking up a grining Roland.

"I was hiding from you papa and you found me!" he exclaimed as he hugged his father.

Regina rolled her eyes and folded her arms as Robin raised an eyebrow toward her "I guess i'll see you 6 tomorrow morning" he said with a cocky grin as he walked out with Roland, who was waving at Regina as he dissappeared through the doors.

...

A soft knock on the door had Robin looking toward Marian who frowned, sitting on the couch. They were not especting any company, and even if it were one of his men, even they would have called first... well everyone except Tuck who seemed lost with the modern day device.

Robin walked toward the door and opened it, staring dumbfounded at a pair of soft brown eyes. He had never tought in a million years he would see Regina; not so soon anyway.

"You're Majesty?" he said more of a question than a greeting

"Oh, hi... um I was actually looking for Marian" she said as she shifted her weight and the box she was holding side to side.

At the sound of her voice Marian moved to stand and walk toward the door "You're Majesty" Marian greeted as she looked Regina up and down. Robin who finally found his sense looked down at Marian and and then toward the Queen.

"Oh um... I would like to apologize for my behavior earlier it was rude, and uncalled for and..." Marian began when Regina cut her off.

"Understood" Regina said honestly "I actually came by to apologize as well"

"For what?" Robin asked as if he forgotten about last night

"Um... for my behavior... last night. I was drunk and..." she said glancing around her as some if not all the merry men had begun to gather, upon seeing Regina at Robin's cabin. Most of their faces looked fearful as if she had planned on killing Marian after all, while the others like Little Jon looked at her with what looked like happiness. "Um... would you mind teribly if I came in?"

"No of course not, where are our manners, please do come in" Robin said as he stepped back to allow her to enter. Regina walked pass Marian who seemed rather reluctant to invite her in.

"I made these for you" Regina said as she gestured for Robin to take the box. He took it from her and opened it.

"Peach turnovers and chocolate cookies?" Robin said with a half a smile and an eyebrow raise. "These are my favorite and Roland's..."

"Oh I know..." Regina said and quickly wished she hadn't, Robin didn't even remember her let alone their private conversations.

Marian looked at Regina with a glare and then back at Robin who was still looking at Regina with surprise.

"You know? Did I tell you?"

Regina was at a loss for words but quickly recovered "No... um, I know... a lot of people don't trust me with apples so... the only other recipe I had was for peaches" she said as she prayed Robin would believe her lie, which he did taking out one of the pastries and putting it to his nose to smell, making a satisfied sigh at the richly sweet aroma. Marian however was looking at her as if she had just spit on her floor.

"Is Roland awake, I wanted to give him..."

"He's asleep" Marian quickly said as Robin placed the box in the kitchen.

"She's right Mi'lady it took me forever but he finally went down" Robin said as he walked over to Marian and drapped his arm around her shoulders.

"Right, well I should go" Regina said as she walked toward the door.

Marian sighed and walked to her "Wait"

Regina stopped and turned to face the woman

"I... I know how hard it was to come here..." Marian started "I truly am sorry for the way I acted this morning and I truly want to thank you for saving Roland's life... you have no idea what he means to me"

Regina smiled small and nodded but before she could turn and leave out the door a pair of tiny feet ran toward her.

Pushing pass his mother and father Roland crashed right into Regina's legs "Majestry" he exclaimed

Regina smiled down at him and then back at Marian "May I?"

Marian nodded

Regina quickly bent down and picked up the smiling todler "Roland I'm so happy to see you... well... I have something for you" she said as she waved her hand and Mangyi appeared in it.

"MANGYI" he shouted as he grabbed hold of the monkey and held him tight. "He came back to me, just like Woody and Buzz" he said as he looked from Mangyi to Regina who stared at him. She placed him back down on the groun dbut did not move from her knealing position.

"Yes just like... Woody and Buzz" Regina said slowly. She remembered that she read that story to him in the Enchanted forrest... but how could he.

"Who's Woody and Buzz?" Marian asked as she watched the interaction between her son and the Queen.

"The toys in... the movie... I watched with papa" he said not taking his eyes off Regina. She watched him as if he was trying to telll her something, but didnt want his parents to know.

"The ones that came to life? Roland we watched that weeks ago, I'm surprised you remembered it" Robin said with a small frown

"I dreamt about it... and in my dream he found me" he said looking at his father.

"Okay well say thank you and goodbye to the Queen" Marian said opening the door for Regina.

Roland ran into Regina's arms and hugged her tight. When he felt like his parents weren't listening he quietly added "I promise I will remember you Bad Gina" he said and then quickly ran to his mother.

Regina rose slowly from where she was and stood looking at Roland and then nodded a goodbye to both Robin and Marian before quickly leaving and returning to her car.

She reached over and grabbed her phone calling the last person she thought would ever call, it kind of scared her that in just a short period, she had come to slightly trust the woman... just slightly.

Snow answered the phone the second ring "How was it?" she said knowing excally who it was

"I don't know... wierd... where are you?"

"At Granny's..."

Regina sighed that was the last place she wannted to be "I didn't know you were busy"

"No, i'm not, I really want to talk to you, why don't you come down to the diner..."

"Snow, you know I don't want to be there..."

"Please, Neal really wants to see you and I would come to you but Henry made us promise him that we would take him to the diner to eat right after the meeting..."

"And I want you to come too!" Henry yelled in the background

Regina smiled at that, how could she resist him "Okay fine, I'll be there in 10 minutes"

...

As Marian went to the kitchen to cook dinner she spotted Robin taking a pastry out of the box Regina had brought over. "Not, before dinner... although we should throw them out" she said as she washed her hands.

"What?" Robin said as he picked up the still hot pastry

"Come on Robin, even you said you'd kill me" she said giving him a sideways look.

"I was just kidding and besides she wouldn't give us a box of poisionus food, with the chance of me or Roland getting to it. She would have seperated yours from ours" he said with a playful smile.

Marian flicked water on him as her mouth fell open insulted.

"Hey" he said as he shielded his turnover.

"Fine eat it then, maybe she filled it stool softeners and you'll spend the rest of the night in the bathroom" she said as he walked over and kissed her cheek.

"Well if that's the case then she did it to punish you not me" he said as he quickly walked away before she could hit him with her towel.

Robin walked into the living room and sat down, Roland came charging toward him hopping up into his lap.

"Papa, what's that?"

Robin smiled down at his son "You know what this is... would you like a piece?"

Roland smiled at his father's answer with a happy nod. Robin gave Roland a corner piece and told himself it was because he didnt want it to ruin his dinner but in all honsety it was because peach turnovers were his favorite and he didnt really want to share.

Roland excepted his piece tossing it into his mouth, Robin doing the same. As he bit into it the delicious sweet flavors rolled around in his mouth as he chewed. He hummed a sigh of satisfaction as he brought the turnover back up to his mouth for another bite. He closed his eyes; the Queen was an amazing cook, he thought as he continued to chew. His thoughts took him somewhere, somewhere far away, somewhere green that smelt of forrest and before he could do anything he was back in the enchanted forrest.

Enchanted Forrest past

She glared at him as they stood outside the castle, it was hot and humid out, and with her standing there refusing to pick up the shovel it was starting to work on his last nerve.

"You're Majesty, will you just pick up the damn thing, we have been out here for hours and you have complained about every single task I have offered for you to do" Little Jon yelled

"Because each task is disgusting and dirty and not to mention insulting for a Queen to be caught doing"

"Well you did lose the game and you agreed to help myself and litttle Jon out here" Robin said as he wiped the newly made sweat from his forehead.

"Well if you would let me use my magic we would have been done by now" she argued

"No! how can you work honestly out here if you use magic to make all the hard work easy? You and the Dark One not to mention any other magic practioner use magic as a crutch, soon you wont be using your bodies to do anything"

"Look can we just get this damn thing done so we can go inside, we still have at least three more tasks once this is done!" Little Jon yelled

"I'm not deaf, stop yelling at me, I can hear you just fine, you baboon!" Regina yelled glaring at the the man

"THEN PICK UP THE DAMN SHOVEL!"

"Little Jon" Robin scolded and little Jon just sighed irritated but became silent

"You know if you hadn't used magic to play that silly game with Roland, I would have won a lot sooner"

"Yes well I still believe you cheated" she said with a curl of her lip

"I am a man of honor, I did not cheat and the more you say that I do just proves me right about one thing"

"And what's that?"

"You're a sore loser and a quitter"

"How! I haven't quit yet"

"You minus well go ahead the sun is now up and we are 3 times behind on the morining chores by this time, lunch will be late and we won't be finish until after dinner... tomorow!" little Jon yelled as sweat poured from the man's face.

Robin understoond why he was so pissed off with the Queen, he had done at least 3 things Regina refused to do, milk all 5 cows, clean their stalls, gather up all the usable wood for the castle's fire, and now she was complaining about digging the holes to plant more vegitation.

"Why is it that everything that comes out of your mouth deals with food? Don't you think you should tone it down at bit!" she yelled back.

"How about I tone you down" Little Jon said as he stepped closer to her giving her a look that most men would soil themselves upon seeing from the giant man, but the Queen didn't even flinch. Robin knew he had to do something before he would have to figure out a way to dig little Jon out of the dirt, because knowing the Queen if she was continuisly pushed,she would bury Little Jon up to the neck in dirt... with the shovels underneath him.

"Okay, Okay little Jon... calm down"

"Calm down?! Its her who needs to calm down! It's unbarebly hot today, I missed breakfast, she refuses to work and I'm sweating bullets out here, but the time we finish my stomach going to touching my back!" he shouted and the Queen laughed at that

"Touching your back? Really?" she said taunting Little Jon "That would take a years" she added

Little Jon growled loudly kicking dirt on the Queen's shoes and pants. Regina gasped and Robin just stood there dumbfounded. Had this grown ass man pulled a stunt that was even too young for Roland to try and get away with... and kick dirt on the Queen.

"Have you lost what's left of you brain!" she shrieked as she tried to get the dirt off her expensive Black leather pants. She had worn all black leather pants, black calf high boots and a black jacket with a plundging neckline, emerald green highlights accented the trimings, her hair was pulled into a high ponytail, the rest falling down curly over her left shoulder. Her make up was dark, with her blood red lipstick and smoky eyes, she had a light layer of sweat on her forehead.

"There! Now that your dirty you'll actually work!" he yelled at her as he walked away with his very own shovel and started stabbing at the ground harder than need be.

"Look you're Majesty although I disagree with how Little Jon is handling this" Robin said as he tried to hide his smile. "He is right, you are being stuborn"

"Well I wouldn't be if you would find me something to do that wasn't humiliating and what was considered to be beneath a Queen"

Robin sighed he was hot and not in the mood for this anymore, Regina must have sensed it because she continued "Just find me a job that won't make me feel less of my station... like a job a Queen would do" she suggested and before Robin could say anything little Jon spoke first.

"THERE IS NO JOB FIT FOR A QUEEN IN THE FIELDS ,IT WHY ITS CALLED THE FEILDS!" he yelled as he growled something else incoherent and stabbed the ground agian. "You want a job fit for a Queen go back inside and sit on your royal ass!" he added clear enough for both of them to hear.

"Little Jon, please!" Robin scolded again "Let me"

Regina was glaring at the heavier man but then she spoke agian "Look, I just don't want to be humiliated or talked about then I already am. Because I mean not only will I smell from the dirt alone but no one will take me seriously if i'm covered in it"

Robin shook his head he was disappointed in the Queen, really he was hoping she would keep up her end of the deal but he knew somewhere deep down that she wouldn't, so he picked up his shovel and started to dig a hole before stopping to look back at her.

"Well you're majesty if you are just going to stand here and complain and watch while the rest of us work, then you can go back to the castle and do whatever it is that Queen's do because there is no job that is meant for a Queen nor will there be any task that you will do that will not make you feel humiliated. Queen's work inside and field hands outside we are constantly doing dirty work and smelling because of it. And the reason that is, is because life as a fieldhand is a far cry from life as Queen." Robin said as he bent down to place seeds in his newly made hole.

When he heard her gasp he figured he had insulted her but he didn't really care at that point and then when he heard her footsteps walk away from him he assumed that she was going toward the castle but to his and little Jon surprise she walked at least 40 yards away from them and started working. She placed a very expensive looking high heel on the head of the shovel and stomped hard pulling up a pile of earth.

"What did you say to her?" Jon asked

"I'm not sure but whatever it was it worked" he said as he watched her bend down to put seeds into the newly formed hole.

2 hours had gone and Regina really got the hang of things, they were nearly complete with only one row left since they all started working together. The great thing about it was that the were all on the last row. Little Jon had opted to taking his shirt off exspecting a few unsatified glares from Regina but she said nothing, just continued to work silently. She had also taken off her jacket, using magic of course since she didn't want to get it dirty, revealing her black with green strings corsetbut he didn't say anything because she wasn't using it to make her task easier.

About 15 minutes later he stopped digging and glanced at Regina was was now only 10 feet away. She was covered from waist to toe in dirt, her face had small brown smudges from where she wiped the sweat from her forehead and cheeks with her dirty gloves. Her high pony tail which hung low in curls earlier was now lying limp on her shoulder. As she bent down to place seeds into the ground her ponytail got in the way and he watched as she grabbed it and flung it behind her, when she finished dropping the seeds in, she leaned up slowly using her still gloved black hand to wipe her brow. Robin got an eyeful of her very overly exposed cleavage, so much in fact that he could tell she was wearing some form of lace beneath it.

When he caught her eyes he knew he had been caught staring at her, he quickly averted his eyes and then glanced back giving her an apologetic nod. Now he didn't know if the fact that he was slightly dehidrated or the fact that the sun was beaming down directly on him and his brain was melting but it looked like the Queen was smiling at him. His heart skipped a beat as she stood striaght up giving him a beautiful glance at her bright and shiny white teeth. It was a true and geninue smile and Robin had to think back at what he had done to deserve such at treat from the Queen.

And a treat it was because Just as quickly as it came it was gone again. Before they moved toward the shaded part of the field that held the trees and vines with fruit on them, Regina conjured them all an ice cold glace of what she said in her land was called gateraid. It helped keep your body from feeling weak when you've been sweating in the sun all day. Little Jon of course wouldn't drink the beverage until Regina had a sip from each glass.

Little Jon gulped it down and even asked for another while Robin couldn't get the bad after taste-blue liguid down. Regardless Regina wouldn't allow him to do nothing else until he finished all of it. After drinks, they walked toward the trees where there were baskets already waiting for them. Robin watched as Regina went striaght to the apple and peach trees touching and squeezing until she found the right one to pluck. She even stopped Little Jon from picking ones that were still to ripe for consumption. Robin had finally found something the Queen was good at and looked to enjoy since she was giving a half a smile as she walked from tree to tree in expert form picking all the ones she could reach.

When her basket was full she picked up another, when they all had three bskets a piece they all agreed to allow Regina to magic them into the kitchen where the others will put it away. They only had one more job to do Robin told Regina as he and Little Jon walked toward the back of the castle.

"Where are we going?" Regina asked curiously as they contiued to walk down a grassy hill. She would have noticed but she was too busy patting herself on the back for all her hard work. She really felt she accomplished something although she would never tell them that.

"Our last task is to bathe the horses, see while we're working the field in the day time when the sun begins to set, is when the horses start to work, and then when they're done we let them roam the grounds" Robin explained

Robin hadn't even noticed Regina had stopped walking until he felt something was off, he turned to see a ghostly expression on her face.

"The horses are in the stables?" she asked her voice sounding almost... fearful

Robin frowned not understanding why he was seeing fear in her eyes but before he could answer Little Jon beat him to it. "It is what it was built for... to hold horses" he joked sarcastically but the Queen didn't share in his amusement. Her face went from fearful to angry in seconds and she looked Little Jon straight in the eye glaring at him.

"You're Majesty what's the matter?" Robin asked as he walked toward her.

"I'm done for today" was her only words as she stomped off Robin looked at little Jon who srugged. "I'm going to follow the Queen, see if you can get Seth to help bathe the horses" Robin called as Little Jon groaned in protest.

"Mi' Lady!" Robin called after Regina "Mi' Lady wait!" he said as he finally caight up with her grabbing her arm.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she yelled at him but he could see from her eyes that it was not meant for him and as her eyes truly focused on his she made no move to apologize, she just sighed and walked forward again.

Robin followd but did not touch her "You do all the hard tasks and when it comes to washing a horse you quit? Why?"

"That's none of you're business and if you wish to tell everyone I quit then so be it, see if I care" she said not looking at him.

Robin didn't know what brought on the sudded mood swing but he did know it had something to do with the stables.

"Okay then" he said running up in front of her and stopping "Fine your final task won't be the horses, we can do something else instead"

Regina rolled her eyes "Like what?"

Robin smiled and walked backwards gesturing for Regina to follow, they ended up going back inside the castle, though the servants stairs. Everyone watched the Queen as she decended the stairs behind Robin toward the kitchen. It was almost lunch time so the kitchen was realatively busy with at least 20 people rushing around to stir this or check that.

"What are you two doing down here? I thought you were supposed to be outside?" Granny said not looking at them but the pot she was stirring. The aroma of fresh stew with all kinds a veggies and beef filled Regina's nostrels and Robin's.

"Stew is a bit heavy for lunch, don't you think?" Robin said as Regina remained quiet glaring at whoever dared look at her.

"That's why it's for dinner, the broth wont be done for hours" she said finally taking her eyes off the giant culdren and removing the wooden spoon to look at a dirty Regina and Robin.

"Looks like you two have been working hard... Now get out of my kithen until you bathe"

"Normally we would but the Queen has one final task to complete and if its alright with you I would sooner get it over with and I'm sure the Queen feels the same" Robin said as Regina nodded her approval

"This task is what?" Granny asked over her glasses with a more irritated look then a curious one.

"Well since we are a little late for lunch the Queen must make one dish of her choice that will be served for dinner tonight" Robin said proudly as both Regina and Granny stood dumbfounded at the request.

"What!" they both said

"This is stupid whatever I cook no one is going to eat it, they'll know I cooked it" Regina said as she glanced around at the workers who nodded agreeing with her sentiment.

"Okay fine" Granny said surprising not only Regina but her staff who looked at her, mouths agape. "Look I've tasted your cooking before and it was pretty damn good not to mention the fact that I have nothing prepared to go with this stew" Granny said looking at Regina "Wash your arms and face in the bathroom in the back, and do somthing with your hair as well" she said before looking at Robin "You too, never in the 30 years I had my resturant had I allowed anyone dirty to handle food or be around it and I'm not about to start now"

After a few minutes Regina and Robin both emerged from the bathroom. Regina had braided her pony tail and pinned it in a bun. Her face and hands looked clean and Granny even inspected her fingernails to make sure she got all the dirt out. Once both were checked throughly, they were giving free reign over the kitchen and Granny even went so far as to kick out everyone who wasn't cooking which meant 13 people was put on ballroom duty, to make sure everything was okay and tidy for lunch and dinner.

Regina walked around the kitchen and ignored the staff that every so often glanced at her. She spotted the fruit she picked in the basket and went striaght to them. She was about to pick up the apples when she stopped. She knew for a fact no one give her apple turnovers a second glance ever since tat ordeal with Snow, no one even ate apples around her anymore, as if she had enchanted them all.

She looked beside them and saw peaches, she smiled and waved her hand making the peaches reappear on the table.

"You're Majesty" Robin scolded

"Oh hush I was just trasporting them. I never use magic to do baking, it takes the fun out of it" she said absent mindedly as she gave a small smile at the fruit before removing everything off the table except the basket. With a wet cloth she wiped the table down and grabbed a big bowl, flour, salt, and yeast. She then sat the basket aside, she layered the table with flour and began to mix the bowl of water with salt and flour together then she added the yeast. After it was mixed properly, and all that was left was a pile of thivk wet dough, she took it out of the bowl and laid it on top the layer of flour, kneaded it a few times before putting it back into the bowl and sat it at the corner of the table.

She then grabbed a knife and began to skin, slice and dice at least 8 large peaches. When the pieces where small enough she placed them into a bowl. Robin watched as she focused so hard on her task that she hadn't noticed the other workers including Granny had stopped doing what they were doingjust so they could watch her.

She walked over to the oven making sure the flame was low enough not to burn her pastries. She gabbed a few other seaonings and stirred then into the peaches, when she was satificed that they were mixed well she took a spoon and tasted it. She smiled at how good it tasted, and she kept on moving. She seemed to be in her own little world as she moved toward the dough, sprinkling more flour onto the table she placed the dough on top of it again. This time she beat and rolled it until it was flat on the surface. Making sure it was not too thin she grabbed the knife she sliced the peaches with and cut the dough into squares.

She grabbed her peach mix and after washing off her tasting spoon she used it to place a chunk of peaches in each square and then folded them diagnally. She grabbed a metal cooking pan and rubbed a light layer of butter on to the surface of it before placing each pastry on to it. No one moved as Regina grabbed the pan and placed it into the oven and began to clean up her area. She had yet to look up, she literally looked zoned out as she placed the peaches she was not using back with the fruit washed and dried all bowls and spoons used and then worked on cleaning the table and disposing of the peach peelings.

Once finished she washed the table again and then leaned her back against it as she stared off into the distance. Eveyone watched as she stood there with her arms crossed bittng at her bittom lip. The smell of peaches quickly filed the air and she snapped out of her trance bent down to take the turnovers out. They were perfectly brown and the staff actually ooed and awed at how good they smelt and looked.

Conjuring napkins she placed 9 napkins out along with its very own pastry and she looked up at the staff and gave a tight lip smile. "Please" she said gesturing to the food "Try them" she said but no one moved except Robin and Granny who both grabbed a turnover and bit into it. Granny sighed satisfied as Robin moaned with the pleasure that met his tongue.

"This is amazing" Robin said as the others ran to the table to get theres, each one giving the Queen a complimant and her smile changed from tight lipped to showing all her teeth.

"You are an amazing cook, you're Majesty" Robin said as he took another bite.

"Well I was a mother" Regina said as her smile disappeared and she travel back into her distant thought again.

"Is that who you used to make these for, your son?"

"He prefered apple but I knew no one would eat them if they were made with apples" she said with a small smile.

"These are actually my favorite, where we used to grow up there was a bakery and since half the villiage was poor what ever large orders royalty or the others ordered they would make extra on the King and or Queen's expense" he said with a smile as Regina watched him. "One day, as we waited for out treats which were usually sweet bread or cookies... the baker came out with something different, this time it was turnovers... peach turnovers. They smelt so good that that alone had your mouth watering with anticipation"

Regina smiled at him as he told his story

"Once I got one it was just as good as I had suspected... but I must say, you're Majesty... yours maybe better" he said as Regina smiled big at the compliment.

"Thank you" she said as she folded her arms out of habit

"Do you mind if I ask you a rather personal question?"

Regina glanced at him not seing the different pairs of eyes every so often wacthing the pair. "You're going to ask it any way minus well get it over with" she said as she watched him closly.

"Is there... why didn't you want to go into the stables?" he asked as Regina's gaze dropped from his onto the table.

"I do mind you asking about that" she said before she sighed sadly and looked up at him. "I'm going to my room, if Snow needs me tell her I'm not to be bothered" she said with a serious glare before walking away.

Robin reached out and grabbed her arm, she stopped but softly jerked her arm from him. "I apologize for bringing it up." He said and Regina nodded slightly before walking past him and up the stairs.

Robin opened his eyes at the feeling of something wet on his hand. He looked down to see Roland slowly using his teeth to get the last piece of the turnover out of Robin limp hand.

Robin frowned looking down at his son who was too busy trying to be as stealthy as possible to realise he had been caught.

"Roland, what are you doing?" he asked as grin and chuckle graced his face. Roland's only answer was to smile big and grab the last of the turnover shoving it into his mouth and running off into his room with Mangyi.

Robin chuckled and shook his head as he licked the leftover contents of the turnover from his fingers. Robin sat there and his mind fell back to what felt like a memory... but it couldnt be... there was no way that happened. After helping her take the shield down and stopping her from trying put herself under the slepping curse, he and his men left the castle, expecially since she had that 'Mad' look on her face like the cat that just spotted the new canairy.

Robin rubbed his hand through his hair and down his face, but it felt so real, he could feel the sun on his back, the calosis on his hands from the shovel and even that nasty drink, the Queen had given him to consume. He remember how his heart felt when the Queen looked up at him and smiled... how the warm breeze blew strands of her hair into her face and carried with it the smell of her perfume and the sweetness of her sweat. He was brought from his thoughts by Roland yelling for him to come find him.

He didn't know why he was feeling or thinking this way but he knew one other person would have to know or at least shake some sense in him... the only other person in the 'memory' other than the Queen... Little Jon.

The Diner

Regina walked in, to the Charmings sitting in the middle booth as usual, with Hook sitting with his arm drapped around the back of the booth behind Emma; Snow smiled at her as she walked in. Regina noticed the blonde sitting at the table and fored herself not to roll her eyes. The diner was full of people and they all had their eyes on her, so she placed her most regal mask on and walked toward the table. She smiled at the sight of Neal in Henry's arms and walked right over to them.

"Hey mom!" Henry called out

"Hi honey" she said placing her bag down on the floor in front of the booth.

Emma turned to Regina giving her a small smile, which she acknowlege with a short nod and a tight lip smile. Hook smiled at her as well and she simply rolled her eyes, of course he would be here, those two seem to be joined at the hip now a days.

Since Henry was on the end she was able to get Neal who was looking dead at her smiling and squealing. Neal must have sensed her, be causehe started to wiggle uncontrolably at the sight of her, he wanted to be greeted and hugged by her She reached down and picked him up.

"Oh, come here little one" she cooed "I'm happy to see you too" she said as she kissed his cheek.

Henry smiled at his mom she looked so pretty and so happy smiling at Prince Neal. Everyone took their turns glancing at the once Evil Queen, hold, kiss and play with her step-daughter's baby... some even smiled.

"Well you don't see that everyday" Killian said as he watched Regina.

"I know and I'm still getting used to the fact that I think he prefers her to us when she walks into the room" Charming said with a sigh.

Regina smiled at that "Well, they say babies are very intelligent... I guess being around a blonde, a shepard King, and a clumsy Princess... he had all the lowering of his IQ he can take" she said in a baby voice with a chuckle "Isn't that right Neal, you can tell when a Queen with intelect comes into the room... huh... yes you can"

Neal bubbled with laughter as if agreeing and everyone else simply glared except Snow who was just happy to see Regina in better spirits from last night.

"Here sit down" Snow said scooting over making David slide closer to the wall.

Regina sat down, gently placing neal in the sitting position on the table as she smiled at him. He laughed and squealed at her as she leaned her face into his stomach and made growling noises. She had everyone even a few onlookers smiling and laughing at her as well.

Snow honestly didn't want to bring this up here but she was dying to know "Sooo..." she said as she grab on of Neal's hands. Neal pulled his little hands from his mommy so he could grab a handful of Regina's hair.

Regina laughed at that as she detangled his hands from her hair. "Hold on Neal, you're mommy is trying to be nosy and you are distracting me" she said with a wide smile and a kisss to his cheek that had him squealing even more.

Regina glanced over at Snow who gave her a sheepish look of getting caught.

"Only because you had insisted you didn't want us to go with you and then the whole ordeal of what happened this morning, it's like watching a silent movie with no subtitles... I just want to know what's going on" Snow said with a exsasperated sigh.

Regina smiled at her, she loved watching her squirm.

"I know Snow, I'm just teasing, I actually wanted to talk to you about it" she said picking up Neal and placing him against her shoulder. He immediatly went to her hair and burried his face int it babbling.

"I wonder why he does that?" Hook said as he watched Neal move his face around in her hair before settling in one spot, holding on to some of it as well.

"I don't know, Henry used to do it too" she said smiling at er son

"Maybe it smells good" Emma said

"That and it's really soft, whenever I was scared, I remember holding on to your hair" Henry added with a smile.

"You remeber that?" Regina asked with awe as Henry nodded.

"Great now, she's his security blanket... try breaking him out of that" Charming said with a sigh as Snow smiled.

"Jealous?" Regina said as she rubbed Neal's back up and down.

"Yes" Charming quickly said which made everyone laugh

"Oh honey, it's just a phase he's collecting sents... as weird as that sounds, he just remembering all the scents of the people he feels safe with that way, if a stranger picks him up he will know"

"Wow only a few months old and he already know that concept of stanger danger" Emma said as Henry laughed.

Neal started to make a sucking noise and babble "Are you hungry?" Regina said as she brough him sown from her shoulder to find his eyes closing and his fist in his mouth.

"I swear I just fed him" Snow said

"He just has a big appetite just like his dad" Charming said as he reached into the baby bag grabbing a bottle.

"And his sister" Henry added Quietly

"Hey I heard that, I'n not the only one who eats a lot too, if i'm not mistaken you ate a entire medium pizza by yourself and then asked for some of mine" Emma defended with mock anger

"Which you had just finished, so you could aske for some of mine" Henry threw back "I'm a going boy, I'm suppose to eat alot" he added with a smile.

"Whatever" Emma said tussiling Henry's hair.

Regina handed Prince Neal to Snow who then passed him to David to feed.

"Sooo..." Snow said again looking at Regina practically vibrating.

"So..." Regina shrugged

"Regina" Snow whined

Regina smiled "It was fine" she said brushing imaginary lent from her black skirt. "Marian actually apologized to me for the way she acted this morning"

"Really?" Charming said

"Yeah"

"I heard about the meeting love, the dwarves were discussing it, they said you handled it pretty well up until the jacket situation but they said you did great" Hook said lookign at Regina.

"And who said men didn't gossip" Regina said deadpanned

"What can I say, everyone loves small town gossip and when it involves the Queen, it's even juicier" Hook said with a chuckle.

Regina rolled her eyes at him "Anyway she thanked me for saving Roland..."

"Did she mean it or what she just... you know... afraid?" Emma asked

"Are you implying that..." Regina began when Emma cut he off

"No, no, Its just when she acted that way in both the meeting and outside, hell I was afraid that 'Bad Gina' might show up and kill everyone" Emma muttered

Regina frowned and then looked at Snow with an eurieka expression "Speaking of Bad Gina, Roland called me that when he hugged me goodbye"

"What?"

"Yeah, he said 'I prmose I'll remember you Bad Gina' and then he kept talkign about finding Mangyi in his dream..."

"Do you think he remebers?" Snow asked

"No, but I think his brain is trying to figure it out, it could be why he is seeing Bad Gina"

"But why her and not you?" Emma asked

"I'm not sure... but whatever the reason, he recognozes me as Evil Queen" Regina said shaking her head.

"Baby steps" Snow added rubbing her stepmother's arm "At least he's remembering something"

Regina smiled at that, looking over at Neal who was now asleep.

"I used to bite my tonuge and hold my breath, scared to rock the boat and make a mess, so i sit quietly, agree politely..." Katy Perry's Roar began to play in the back round and Ruby smiled at Snow as she slowly began to turn it up.

"Ugh, I hate this song" Regina said folding her arms

"You do not" Snow said as she smiled big

"Yes I do"

"No you don't" Charming said chuckling as he placed a sleeping Neal into his carrier, that was now on the back of the table.

"Excuse me, who are you to tell me what I do, and do not like?" Regina said frowning at bothe her step daughter and her idiot husband.

"Well, Tinkerbell inadvertingly showed us something... when she used your mirror to find where you were..." Snow said as she looked at Regina with an apologetic look "She connected it to the mirror in your room and um... you were in the shower"

"WHAT!" Regina yelled startling Neal but then she waved her hand over him and a white soundproof barrier was put up.

"Oh, calm down" Granny said as she walked over to the table with plates, Ruby following close behind. As soon as she placed the plates down Granny went back over to the bar.

"Besides we didnt see anything, we just heard you belting out your favortie tune" Ruby teased as she placed a cup of ice water in front of her.

"You held me down but I got up, already brushing off the dust..."

"You're actually pretty good at singing" Snow said as her grin grew

"Yeah and you can even dance, if this morning was any indication" Charming added as Regina blushes and tried her best to glare which she was failing at.

"You hear my voice, you hear that sound, like thunder gonna shake your ground..."

"Come on mom, you know you want to sing along" Henry says laughing at Regina whose face was getting redder by the second.

Emma laughed at the blushing Queen

"Et tu?"I she says to Henry who seems to laugh even harder "I hate all of you" she adds

"Yes, come on love, let's here it"

"No" Regina says folding her arms although she wanted to so bad, she loved the chorus of this song but she'd be damn if she would make a spectical of herself infront of what looked like a 3rd of the town.

"Awe come on Regina" Ruby says as she nodds to Granny who shakes her head and turns the music up

"You held me down, but I got up, get ready because I've had enough, I see it all, I see it now..."

"I GOT THE EYE OF THE TIGER!" Ruby, Emma, Snow and Henry all belt out "The fire dancing through the fire because I am the champion and you're gonna hear me ROAR, louder louder than a lion 'cause I am the champion and you're gonna hear me roar, oh,oh,oh,oh..."

Ruby pulled Regina, who was practically vibrating and biting her lip to keep from singing, up on to her feet and Snow moved out from the thr booth and so did Henry and Emma.

Ruby and Snow both sang the next verse to Regina who stood stuburnly with her arms crossed.

"Now I'm floating like a buttefly, stinign like a bee I earned my stripes, I went from zero, to my own hero..." they sang pulling on Regina and making her sway to the music.

Charming and Hook smiled as Regina's grin grew

"Come on mom, the chorus is comign up again, there no way you can fight it this long!" Hneyr shouted as the other patrions laughed at the group and some even joined in with the song.

"You hear my voice, you hear that sound, like thunder gonna shake your ground, You held me down, but I got up, get ready because I've had enough, I see it all, I see it now..."

Regina couldn't hold it she closed her eyes and belted out "I GOT THE EYE OF THE TIGER, THE FIRE DANCIGN THROUGH THE FIRE BECAUSE I AM A CHAMPION AND YOU'RE GONNA HEAR ME ROAR!" she yelled as everyone cheered and began to dance and sing to the music.

...

After palying with Roland and telling Marian that he needed to run an errand. Robin went to search for Little Jon who was said to be walking around out here for some odd reason.

As Robin walked passed the diner he heard music, he frowned and walked up toward the door and a smile graced his face. The Queen, Snow, Henry, Emma, the waitress Ruby and a few other people we dancing and siging to a song that sound way to familiar to him.

He frowned as tried to remember where he'd heard it, as he thought his eyes fell on the Queen, her bright smile and soft features lit up the entire diner. Everytime someone would get in his way he would move to get a better glimpse of her. Athought he couldnt hear it, he could tell she was laughing... and hard. Her head was thrown back, as she switched her hips and grabbed on to forst Snow and then Henry to dance aroudn it circles. As he listened to the words the memory seemed to be coming back to him.

Enchanted Forrest

"Ugh, where is she!" Tinkerbell growled "She was supposed to be here hours ago!"the fairy said as she paced the meeting room. Her new wings flicking and twinkling behind her.

"She was suppose to be here 20 minutes ago" Granny corrected

"20 minutes 20 hours either way she's late!" Tinkebell yelled

"Well, she's always late, I mean is that her punch line 'Sorry I'm late'?" Ruby said with an amused look as Tinkerbell huffed and puffed, her wings shaking with her fury

"I take it you don't have much patience?" Robin asked

"With children yes, with an entitled, self serving Queen, no!" she said as she frowned looking around the room.

"What are you looking for?" Belle asked as she watched the fairy seach the room.

"I'm going to see what's taking her so long!" Tinkerbell said as she flew to the other side of the room, grabbing the mirror that hung on the wall and bringing it to the table.

"Someone is getting use to the their wings" Neal said with a smile.

Tinkerbell smiled and took her green wand out and flciked it toward the mirror.

Regina's room was huge, it could almost mimic a ball room it it wanted to. The bed was grand for any one person, baby blue silk pillows littered the bed as well as the matchign silk sheets. The room was decked out with expensive things, the room was clean for the most part, there were books and papers that littered the the vanity that the mirror sat upon.

"Tinkerbell! That's Regina's room!" Snow shreiked

"So"

"You can't look into the Queen's bed chamber!" David said

"Why she had no problem doing it to any of you, maybe not your bed chambers but she spied on you nonetheless" Tink said not lookign at them but the mirror as she moved the image around to see what part of the room she was in.

"If she ever finds out you did this and we did nothing she'd going to kill all of us" Robin said as he glanced aroudn the table annywhere but the mirror beause whether the Queen spied on the others or not she hadn't reciently and it was an invasion of privacy.

"You worry to much, she's trying to change. The most she'll do is yell and pout" Tinkerbell said as she moved her wand to get deeper into the room. Althoug the mirror didn't move it was like using google map's street view in her bedroom.

A sound had Tinkerbell stoping

"What is it? I don't see her" David said

"No but I can... hear her?" Ruby said looking at Granny who nodded "Is she singing?" she added with a smile

"What?" Snow said as she sat up closer to the image

Tinkerbell smiled and zoomed in some more. They heard water running and the bathroom door was open "She's singing... in the shower" she said as she giggled

"This is wrong" Robin said as he looked at the table

"Oh hush" Tinkerbell said as she zoomed in again this time the image was right outside the bathroom door but you could hear every word Regina was singigng.

"I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire,'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar, Louder, louder than a lion, 'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar,Oh oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh, You're gonna hear me roar, Oh oh oh oh oh oh,Oh oh oh oh oh oh,You'll hear me roar, Oh oh oh oh oh oh,You're gonna hear me roar... Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar..."

Everyone laughed as they listened to the Queen sing. The water shut off but Regina was still singing. Everyone was too busy laughing and making side jokes that they didn't see Regina come out of the bathroom with only her white towel wrapped around her.

Robin's eyes got as big as gulf balls as she watched the Queen walk from the bathroom to the bed, water dripping from her wet hair that she was now combing. He wtached as the water slowly ran down the part of her back that was exsposed and the length of her legs. She looked so soft and small without the heels and the dark make up.

A gasp brought him back to where he was "Tinkerbell! Turn it off!" Snow exclaimed as Tinker quickly made the image disappear.

"Oh my god, she's going to really kill us now!" Ruby said still laughing

"No one say a word" Snow said seriously as everyone tried to stop laughing "I mean it it! Sh ewill never forgive me for allowing this"

"Yeah becasue we wouldn't to mess with the eye of the tiger" Neal said as they all burst into a fit of laughter agian.

Robin even shook his head with a smile of his own

"Robin! What are you doing here?" a voice called out to him. He turned to see little Jon.

"I could ask you the same thing"

"Is everything alright?"

"I don't know, I think i'm going crazy" Robin said as he rubbed his hands over his face

"What doy ou mean?" Little Jon asked confused, he had never seen Robin looked so worried or confused... well there was a time when Marian was sick and he decided to go steal from the Dark One.

"I'm having... these... visions, or memories but the thing is, I don't remember any of these things happening..."

Little Jon stood frozen, he was unsure what to do, was Robin really remembering and if so what was he supposed to do? Tell Marian, not tell her? Tell the Queen? He watched as Robin continue to tell him what was going on how he had visions of being with the Queen and watching her cook in the kitchen of the castle or picking fruit with her but not only that he was having feelings for her... feelings he couldnt explain... feelings he knew were wrong for a married man to feel but still little Jon remained quiet.

"The only thing is that I have been seeing you in every memory, that would make since... well almost every one. Please tell me I'm not going crazy." Robin said finally as he took a deep breath looking at his friend.

"Um... I don't think you're going crazy"

"What so you think I'm spelled?" Robin whispered looking around to make sure no one was listening.

"Spelled?" Little Jon asked his eyes wide 'Oh my God had he figured out about the memory potion?'

"Yeah, well when the Queen brought the pastries by... you don't think she spelledthem do you?" Robin asked seriously.

Little Jon thought of how he could use that to explain what was going on but then he though of how Robin, the old Robin before the memory potion took over promised to find his way back to Regina and then that kiss replayed in his mind over and over again. Had Robin truly loved the Queen and would he want him to interveen?. Little Jon stayed silient for a beat trying to come up with the best answer, so he went with the lesser of two evils and just avoided it altogether.

His face broke out into a smile and he playfully shoved Robin "I think you're still thinking about how she tried to kiss you last night and that mixed with the fact the woman can cook and Marian... sort of can, you're making her out to be this huge domestic superwoman" he said with a healthy laugh he dredged up from somewhere.

Robin smiled rubbing the back of his neck "You really think so?"

"Yes friend the Queen would never spell you without you're knowlegde" Little Jon truthfully said "And besides she saved Roland so that sould be it too, you still overwelmed with gratitude"

Robin smiled at that "You know what that could be it" he said as he and little Jon headed back to camp.

The Diner

As the song came to and end everyone clapped and laughed, smiling hard at one another. But before anyone could go back to sitting down, in the center of the diner a burgundy cloud billowed out of nowhere and standing in the mist of it was Rumplestilskin and Queen Elsa.

First off I am so sorry that Rumple, Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and the others have been M.I.A. I promise they will be in the next chapter. Please help me by telling me what the issue is between Rumple and Elsa all theories are welcome. I'm bring Sidney into the equation since he is supposed to be in it and if I could think of a way to add Maleficent I would too.
