Regina and Emma were in the kitchen making dinner together whilst Aldara gave Henry his first guitar lesson. They could hear Aldara teaching Henry and Henry's sighs of frustration when he couldn't get the right sounds.

"How dedicated to this is he?" Emma asked a little anxiously. "Regina turned to face Emma, raising a questioning eyebrow." I mean are we gonna be waking up to him practicing in the mornings. "

" Well you will be I'm usually up before both of you anyway. But if you are asking if he is just going to give in, then I think you've forgotten who our son is. " Regina said smiling at a Emma who ran a hand over her face.

" I think we should invest in a sound proof room. " Emma said half joking half serious. It wasn't that she wasn't excited for Henry it was just she also like to sleep in. Regina already had her getting up earlier than usual. She was only just getting used to that, she didn't want her rare weekend lie in to be taken away too.

"I tell him no guitar unti we all had breakfast." Regina said putting her hand on Emma's lower back kissed her cheek. She noticed a nervous look in Emma's eyes. Emma knew Regina would see it and quickly looked away. "Emma what is it?" Emma just turned away to put something in the oven. " Emma? " Regina said stopping the blonde by catching her hand. " What's wrong? " Emma sighed.. She turned back to look at Regina.

"I'm worried about tonight. What if the don't by it. Or worse they do and your forced into some weird Rumple plan. I might not know them well but I know there all dangerous. Aldara might not like what she sees. Make sure she doesn't blow your cover because I don't think Rumple will take it well." Emma said to Regina who understood why Emma was scared of there plan.

"Trust me Miss Swan, I've been known to be a little dangerous myself. I can take care of myself. As for Aldara, she knows what she's doing. We are going to be fine." Regina told Emma pulling her intro a hug. Emma kissed Regina pulling up the brunette closer. She then rested her forehead against Regina's .

"That better be a promise." Emma wispered. Regina pulled her back in for a kiss.

"That my love is a fact." Regina said before lifting a hand to Emma's face to softly stroke her cheek.

"Right so we just have to prove to you that we're serious about turning against the charmings? " Aldara asked the three witches stood opposite Regina and her. Ursula nodded at them.

"Of course. We all know Regina's gone soft. We just want to make sure we all...on the same page. We can't have you two running back to those idiots telling them what we're up to. This about us finally getting what we deserve and thos idiots ending up miserable. We need to return the world to its natural order. Where the villains win and those wet towels are left to rot in the rain." Cruella said to them as Malificent stared at the mother and daughter looking for signs that they were working for the other team still. She knew from years of experience that Regina wasn't being honest with them. She knew how the brunette worked and could see the nervous look in her eyes.

"To be honest I think our Evil Queen has fallen down the charmings rabbit hole, but if you want us to trust you, your going to have to prove your loyalty." Malificent said as she walked closer to them. " Aldara love. " she said quickly looking at the younger brunette who was anxious under the dragons glare. " Do you mind explaining why a few days ago you wanted nothing more that to kill you mother and now you've joined sides. I mean it is a little... Inconsistant. "

"Uh... We talked it out. I reminded mother of her hate for those menaces and she agreed that our combined power could be used for a more... Effective approach to our problems." Aldara said using the dark tone she had managed to prefect over the years. Regina nodded to confirm.

"Well if this is true, you wouldn't mind if we ran a few tests. Lets go for a drive. " Ursula suggested with a sky smirk. Malificent nodded in approval.

"Oh yes Darlin' a drive is just what we need." Cruella said with a dark chuckle. The three witches walked of heading for Cruella's car, Regina and Aldara looked at each other nervously.

"We can do this" Aldara said a semi confident tone.

"We can do this" Regina said determinedly although bringing her one and only daughter along with her had put her on edge. If this went wrong it wasn't just her that would suffer. They followed the treo to the car.

"Aldara you can sit in between Mal and Ursula. Regina you are riding shot gun." Cruella told them. Ursula looked at Aldara with a sneer.

" Don't look so worried dear, evil is in your DNA" Malificent said and Aldara climbed into the car. Regina got into the passengers seat next to Cruella who gave her a wicked grin. She started the car and headed for their first destination. Regina throughout the drive glaced at her daughter through the mirror. She could see the underlying fear in her expression. Something most people wouldn't notice. Regina how ever could see it because she wore the same expression herself. This was going to be a long night.

Cruella drove them to the rail way tracks. She halted the car on the tracks. In the distance wa the obvious sounds of a train approaching them.

"What the he'll are you doing?" Regina asked trying to remain calm in the situation that had been forced upon her.

" The best way to see if you've truly gone soft on us. " Cuella chuckled making Regina more uncomfortable. "If you move us before the train hits us it's proof your playing the hero."

" Proof I'm playing hero have you finally gone completely mad? " Regina asked angrily placing quickly at her daughters shocked face. The sound of the train approaching became louder as it came closer. Regina wasn't sure what to do, on one hand they were right she wouldn't have saved them a few years back. Now however was struggling to keep her cool. She knew moving the car would make them realise she wasn't her old self. Something told her she had to do something. She saw the approaching headlights of the train. It was going to hit them in the next five minute. Without giving it a second though she magicked the car off the tracks.

"I knew you had gone soft. The Evil Queen turns into a hero. Now are we done here or are you really here to prove yourself." Malificent sneered at the brunnette who growled under her breath.

" I don't see how a game of chicken is going to prove anything. " Aldara said, wanting to help to keep their cover.

"Okay Darlin' you pick the next item on our agenda." Cruella said with a smirk.

"I have an idea." Regina said and with a flick of her wrist took them all to the sheriff 's office.

"So far I like it" Cruella smirked. Malficent and Ursula did look so convinced.

"You stay the're we'll be back in a second. Aldara follow me." Regina ordered the witches . Aldara wasn't sure what her mother was up too but trusted her to have a plan. Once the were alone in the office Aldara seemed it safe to speak.

"So... Why are we here?" Aldara asked wanting in on the brunette 's plan.

"I just need to find..." Regina said opening a locked safe. "Ah ha, this." Regina said dangling the key to the garage where the sheriff 's car was.

"You going to steal the sheriff's car? Isn't that going to make Emma angry?" Aldara asked wondering if Regina had forgotten who the sheriff was.

"No because were going to steal David's car. It needed replacing anyway so I may as well just.. Despose of the old one. " Regina said with a small smirk.

"Cleaver, so do you have the key's to the car?" Aldara asked wondering how long Regina had been cooking this plan up.

"Who needs keys when you have magic. " Regina said with a sly smirk. They walked into the garage and walked over to the car.

"Do you want to drive?" Regina asked her. Aldara was a little overwhelmed and didn't think twice before nodding.

"Where too?" Aldara asked not knowing where to go.

"Somewhere out of the way of the way. I don't want any casualties." Regina said, Aldara nodded and Regina unlocked the car with a flick of her hand.

"Let's do this!" Aldara opened the door and sat at the wheel. Regina got into the passenger seat after opening the garage door. Aldara drove to the three witches. Cruella seemed to like their plan and climbed in. Ursula followed behind raising an eyebrow suspiciously. Malificent, who didn't seem all to interested in what any of them where doing, climbed in last.

"Darlin' could you hurry this along, it's quite cramped back here." Cruella said shuffling in her seat trying to get more comfortable.

" Will you just stop moving it's not going to change the fact were packed in here like sardines. " Ursula complained getting annoyed with Cruella wriggling about in her seat.

" Both of you shut it, will you just drive already. " Malificent said already having had enough of the other two's inability to get along for five minutes.

"With pleasure." Aldara said finding the who thing hilarious and struggling to contain her laughter. She started the car up and drive through Storybrooke. She finally came to the edge of the forest. She turned into the forest track and pulled the car up somewhere it wouldn't cause harm to anything.

"What now?" Cruella asked them as Regina and Aldara opened the car door.

" Now, we have some fun. "Regina said getting out the car, Aldara followed and soon enough the other three scrambled out. Regina walked away from the car. Aldara stood beside her. Cruella, Ursula and Malificent stayed by the car.

" I'd move" Regina warned them as she made a fire ball. Aldara did the same, both of them aiming at the car. As if I'm since the both drew their arms back an sent the fire balls flying towards the car. The car instantly exploded, flying up in the air. It came down with a heavy bang on flames, scorching the grass beneath it. Regina and Aldara grinned at each other both knowing they probably shouldn't be enjoying what they were doing but neither could hide their grins.

The others stood there a little stunned, none of them spoke.

"Do you think they trust us now?" Aldara asked hoping it would be that easy. Regina shook her head.

"There never going to trust us, we just need them to think we're on their side, hopefully this was enought, but I doubt it. There always going to be suspicious we just need to keep our cover." Regina said to Aldara. They walked up to them, Cruella flicked her long for scarf over her shoulder as she approached.

"So what do you want from us?" She asked as she neared them.

" We want to help find the author. We heard you had a lead?" Regina said to Malificent, who smirked.

"You don't even know what we're planning to do, why have you suddenly decided that you want to help?" Malificent asked the brunette who smiled briefly at her.

" Because we realised that those do-gooders will never get anywhere. We want results and the only way I know how to get them is by doing this our way. " Regina told her hoping it would be enough to convince them of their sudden 'Change' of heart.

"Can we please just get on with this." Aldara asked in a bored tone, sick of having to play their games.

" Sure, we'll be in touch., Rumple will want to speak with you too. I don't think he would be so convinced. He seems to think you and the Saviour are in love. " Ursula said with a smirk. Regina knew he would know because he wouldn't be Rumplestiltskin if he didn't.

"Are you serious, they can barely be in a room together. They always end up arguing, from what I've seen. Mom told me she tries to stay as far away from her and her parent's as possible. She's only gone along with them because she was waiting for me to turn up." Aldara said, Regina a little taken back at how fast Aldara had though of a cover story.

" You knew you had a daughter and didn't think to mention it at all? " Malificent said to her, finding it strange that Regina would hide it from her.

" I don't see why that's important. I have a right to my secrets. " Regina said to them all.

"You secrets are the reason we are concered." Ursula said a little forcefully. Regina took a step towards Ursula, who smirked smugly.

"Your only concern should be is, if the Charming find the Author before we do." Regina told her a little to on edge with the topic of conversion.

"We're not imbeciles Regina, we saw you two the other day. It was quite obvious there's some thing going on between you." Cruella sneered, Regina looked at her and laughed darkly.

" Wouldn't you like to know. " Regina said with a sky smirk. Cruelly just flared at her.

"Yes Regina... We would." Ursula said getting annoyed with the brunette not telling them anything.

" Trust me...you wouldn't " Aldara said with a chuckle. Regina turned to her daughter wearing a smirk but trying to look angry with her.

"The Saviour is just a hobby. She and I have an... agreement." Regina told them calmly.

"I don't know what kind of agreements you make Darlin ', but mine usually include wearing clothes. " Cruella said knowing what Regina was hinting at.

"Well, maybe you should expand you horizons. " Aldara said with a chuckle. Regina smirked as Cruella sneered at her.

"Perhaps we shouldn't trust you if your sleeping with that brat. " Cruella's pay , Regina clenched her fist and had to fight back her natural reaction to Emma being insulted.

"Perhaps you would keep your snout out of my personal life and get down to business. " Regina said realising if she didn't stay away from Emma whilst their trying to pull this off their cover would be blown.

"I'm just warning you. If we do find out you are working for them, it will be bye bye author and hello nine foot hole." Cruella said aggressively before turning to leave.

" Are you sure this is going to work? " Aldara asked wondering what might happen if their plan didn't work.

"No, but we have to try, what ever there planning to do it's going to mean hell for all of us. Rumple will make sure of that. At least this way we won't be completely in the dark." Regina told her knowing it probably wasn't her best plan to date, but it was simple enough. Even if it did mean having to partake in criminal activities.

"So we just... Play along?" Aldara asked hoping they could pull it off. Regina nodded softly. The other three had disappeared once they had been convinced enough, that and the explosion had probably drawn some attention.

"The only problem is they will be watching me like a hawk. I don't think going home is an option at the moment." Regina said sadly, realising it might be a long time until she and Emma would be able to see each other properly.

"That's alright we can lay low at my house until it's safe." Aldara said knowing Regina would be upset about not being able to see Emma and Henry that night. Regina nodded and Aldara teleported them to her front door. " You should call Emma and explain what happened." Aldara said to Regina who smiled weakly as she pulled out her phone. Aldara unlocked her front door and went inside. Regina stayed outside to talk with Emma. She waited patiently for the blond to pick up.

"Hey, how did it go? Are you guys alright?" Emma said sounding a little anxious. Regina smiled to herself at the concerned blonde.

"I'm fine baby, so is Aldara, it went well... considering." Regina said recalling the nights rampage though Storybrooke. What Aldara had failed to tell her was she was going to race through the streets of Storybrooke at midnight. That and the fact she was going to have to find David a new car.

"What happened?" Emma said seeming a little calmer. Regina wasn't ready to tell her about that night's adventure. Instead she wanted to see how far she had got with the spell and portal to the Enchanted forest.

"You'll find out tomorrow, I don't think I'll be making it home tonight." Regina said she could hear Emma sighed disappointedly down the phone. "In fact I'm going to have to stay here for a few weeks. They were suspicious of us, I had to make something up, so I told them we had an 'arrangement'." Regina said a little awkwardly, but chuckled.

"An arrangement?" Emma asked her, Regina hummed waiting for Emma's response. She heard a soft chuckle. "So what is this arrangement? " Emma said, Regina knew she was getting up and walking away from Henry because the sounds of the tv disappeared.

"You know... Don't make me embarrass myself. I couldn't lie about us sleeping together because they knew something was up, so I just downplayed how serious the relationship was. Anyway any luck on the spell front?." Regina asked hoping Emma would have found something.

"Yes and no. There are a few spells that all reveal memorys. We just need to work out which one will be the right one to use." Emma sighed, she had been reading through the book all night, she had an idea of what had to happen but still the details were shaky.

"That's okay well find out soon. It will be in there somewhere..." Regina sighed, tierdly. She looked up at the clear night sky. "I wish you were here." Regina said as she gazed up at the beautiful night sky. Emma didn't say anything.

Suddenly the blonde appeared in front of Regina. She grinned widly,proud she had managed to actually teleport. Regina stood there stunned for a second before pulling the blonde into a tight hug., Emma hug her tightly back. Regina lent back to look at her face.

"I had no idea you could do that but I'm so grateful you can." Regina said over the moon that Emma was there.

"To be honest neither did I. I just tried it on a whim and... It worked, it actually worked... Wow. " Emma said with a beaming grin. Regina shook her head and chuckled softly. " So what was the reason you wanted me here so badly? "

" I was just... " Regina said seeming a little embaressed. Emma have her a look that told Regina she was being silly. "I wanted you to see the stars out here. There just so beautiful it seemed a shame we couldn't look at them together." Regina said her cheeks turned a little red. Emma just chuckled and kissed her.

Emma lifted her head to look at the sky, which she had to admit to herself, was stunning. She had never seen so many stars in the sky before. The moon was over head and it 's light shone across the clearing.

"It is... Beautful" Emma said in a breathy tone. She looked back at Regina,who was still looking up. Emma couldn't help but note her eyes which were glistening in the moon light. She stared at the incredible woman in front of her. Regina smiled back a little timidly, she broke away for a few moments and conjured up a blanket. She shook it and let it float to the floor.

"Care to star gaze with me Miss. Swan?" Regina said with a soft smile and say down on the blanket. Emma just smiled to herself and lay down on the Blanket pulling Regina down next to her and wrapping her arms around the brunette.

"We should do this more often. It's really peaceful out here." Emma said with a contented sigh.

" Peaceful... And really cold. " Regina said as she magicked up another blanket to lay over the top of them. She cuddled herself in closer to Emma and lay her her on the blondes shoulder. Both looking up at the sky. Emma pressed a kiss on Regina's forehead. Regina looked up at the saviour with teary eyes but a small smile on her features.

"Emma Swan will you marry me?" Regina whispered. Emma looked at her, shocked but trying to play it cool.

"I think the question Dear, is will you marry me?" Emma said with a grin.
