"How are you?" Ruby asked once she shut the door and walked over to join Emma on the porch. Emma sighed and turned to Red and gave her a faint smile,
"I'm not sure" Emma said, knowing that she could be honest with Red and trust her, "I feel strange, almost as if…I don't know, it's all very strange, Regina, she seems, different here" Emma said looking to Red, Red smiled and nodded,
"Regina was the only one that had her memories, I think she's just use to this world" Red said, she wasn't happy with Regina at first when she discovered she was going to enact the curse, Regina had assured her that it would be broken but when she did not know.

"Are you sure about this?" Red asked pacing behind Regina, Regina only nodded,
"She stole my happiness twice, she will not do it again" Regina said with a growl,
"But is this truly the way, can you not find her with magic?" Red asked, not liking Regina's plan at all,
"Don't you think I would have done that?" Regina growled spinning to face Red, Red bowed her head, "no, this is the only way" Regina said turning back to the cauldron,
"So let me get this straight" Belle said as she can into the clearing, Red looked up and smiled, Regina also did but looked away, "you are going to send us ALL to a place with no happy endings? We can't get her back?" Belle said,
"NO! I have already tired, I can no longer feel her, I have lost her" Regina said turning to Belle, "I must do this, I have to do this" Regina said, Belle looked to Red who nodded and they both stepped forward, each taking a side beside Regina and placing a hand on either shoulder,
"We'll be with you, every step of the way" Red said nuzzling Regina's face, Regina smiled and turned to her, running her hand through Red's hair,
"I don't regret saving you Red, I regret nothing, you have been loyal to me and Emma, I know you won't remember but know now that I love you and always will" Regina said leaning forward and placing a kiss on her cheek, Red whimpered slightly but nodded, Regina turned her head to Belle who smiled,
"Every step" Belle said simply, Regina smiled and leaned over and kissed her head,
"I don't regret anything with you either my dear, I love you" and with that she turned and dropped the still beating heart of her beloved horse into the cauldron.

"RED!" Emma shouted shaking Red's shoulder, Red turned to her, "What happened?" Emma asked slightly concerned, Red smiled,
"I was remembering the night Regina enacted the curse that brought us here" Red said with a sad smile, Emma smiled,
"Can you tell me?" Emma asked, Red smiled and nodded, she sat on the step with Emma following,
"She never got over Snow taking you" Red began, "she didn't come out of the chambers you shared for almost three full moons" Red said sadly, Emma growled, Red smiled, "when she finally did, she was not the Regina we knew, she was dark, very dark, even darker than she was before, you brought light to her life, to her heart, but that was replaced by darkness when Snow stole you away, I won't lie Emma, I was scared, she was different, Rumpelstiltskin could be smelled throughout the castle and we knew that that was not a good thing" Red said, Emma had moved closer to her and took her hand in hers, Red smiled and linked their fingers, "she loves you so much, and when she found out that the only way to get you back was to enact the curse" Red paused, "I was not happy, but she is my Queen and all I wanted was for her to be happy"
"You were with her, when she enacted it, weren't you?" Emma asked, Red nodded, Emma leaned over and kissed her cheek, "thank you, for not leaving her, I know it would have been hard, but thank you, for loving her as much as I do" Emma said, Red chuckled,
"Nobody can love her as much as you Emma, she is your Soul Mate, as you are hers, your love is True, and brought you together once more" Red said with a small smile, Emma smiled, she reached into her pocket and pulled a small silver band with a beautiful black diamond in it, "Emma" Red whispered,
"I was going to give her this, but Snow took me away" Emma said with a small smile that was accompanied with a low growl, "it appeared in my pocket in the woods" Emma said with a smile, Red smiled widely,
"It is beautiful Emma" Red said kissing her cheek, Emma smiled widely and placed it back in her pocket, Red looked up at the sky and sniffed, "someone is coming" Red said as she stood, Emma stood and waited, they waited and a man with a cane appeared at the gate, both Red and Emma growled,
"Now now dearies, I only want to talk to the Queen"

"Stop pacing, you are making me dizzy" Regina said as she watched Emma pace at the bottom of their bed, Emma turned and glared at her before going again, Regina chuckled, "my love, it will be fine"
"How will it be fine?" She escaped?" Emma said with a low growl, "how did this happen" Emma said as she fell onto the bed, Regina chuckled and ran her fingers through Emma's hair,
"Now now my love, worrying will do you little good" Regina said, Emma looked at her and pushed herself up,
"How are you so calm? I thought Snow was you enemy, and yet you do not seem to care" Emma said, Regina only chuckled again,
"Oh I care, I'm just more worried about you" Regina said, Emma couldn't help but smile, she leaned up and placed a kiss on Regina's lips, "Now, I want to show you something" Regina said pulling back, Emma groaned but got up and helped Regina off the bed, they walked to the mirror and Regina stood in front of it, suddenly a face appeared,
"Good evening, my Queen" the genie said, Regina smiled, and turned to Emma,
"This is genie, he is the one that allows me to look through mirrors" Regina said with a smile, Emma made a 'o' shape with her mouth and walked over to Regina
"Good evening Princess" the genie said bowing his head, Emma smiled,
"Good evening" Emma said with a smile, the genie smiled at her, the first real smile in centuries, Regina didn't like it and cleared her throat,
"Show me Snow" Regina said with a bit of bite, Emma raised an eyebrow but said nothing, Emma watched as the genie disappeared and ripples appeared before Snow and David came into view, Snow was in the arms of David, crying, with David stroking her hair lovingly, Emma growled and stepped closer to the mirror, Regina put her arm out to stop her, "now now Princess" Regina said with a small smile, "there will be plenty of time for revenge, I am just merely showing you that she hast returned to her beloved Prince-less Charming" Regina said, Emma sighed but nodded wrapping her arms around Regina's waist and resting her chin on her shoulder, Regina smiled and leaned into the embrace watching as they looked at their own reflection in the mirror.
OK…I know the FTL flashbacks are all over the place, I would change them if I could guys but they go with the story telling, just like it is on the show! If they get confusing all I can do is apologies!
