Xena and Gabrielle woke early in the morning in there room from a knock on the door. Xena slowly got up and opened the door and saw it was Ruby.
"Hi sorry to wake you so early but Regina told me to wake you early enough to show you both how to help out around the restaurant".
"Oh it's fine. I'm usually an early bird though, Gabrielle isn't so much of one. I usually let her sleep in until she wakes".
"Well I'm sorry but your going to have to wake her. Regina is the Mayer here and I'd really not want to get on her bad side!"
"Alright fine but at least can we have some breakfast first? I usually make fish I catch for Gabrielle and I but in this new world, I don't even know where a nice pond, lake, or river even is but I'm sure I can find one fast! replied Xena.
"What? Oh no don't worry about that. I'll make you some breakfast with food you've probably never tasted before...or maybe you have. I don't know. I don't even know where you come from. But I'll give you free food for breakfast, lunch and dinner until you start making your own money by helping me out here with taking orders, bringing food to the tables, etc!" replied Ruby.
Ruby gave Xena two uniforms with a little apron to go around the waste for her and Gabrielle. The uniform was white and pretty much plain as can be. Same with the apron.
Once Xena and Gabrielle ate there breakfast, they thanked Ruby for being so generous. They never had eggs and bacon the way they cooked it in this world. Usually they just hunted animals or stole eggs from the chickens and cooked it over a fire. Here, they added maple syrup to the bacon and made it more sweeter and tastier and added salt and pepper to the eggs which they would never normally do. But yet it tasted so good!
Ruby showed Xena and Gabrielle how to take down orders to give to Granny who cooked all the meals. Xena was pretty fast at picking everything up while Gabrielle took a little longer to understand all the different foods and drinks they have but she caught on well enough to do the work.
After they both were done with there shift at Granny's, it was 3pm. Granny's wasn't that hard of a job to do if they really thought about it. It wasn't much different from how they do it back home. They both went back up to there room and changed out of there uniforms which surprisingly was still very clean and put on there normal warrior clothes. For some reason it made them feel more comfortable and more at home. Then they left the room to go visit Argo at the farm. She had apples in her stall given to her by the kids that visit the farm everyday. So Xena didn't have to worry about feeding Argo fore she was getting well fed by the kids and the owners of the farm. But Xena still brushed her hair and talked to her like she always does before leaving with Gabrielle to go back to there room at Granny's.
A few days had past and Xena and Gabrielle were getting really good at working at Granny's. They were fast paced and everybody loved them. It was now Friday and Regina came walking in Granny's with Emma holding hands and smiling at each other like there was no one watching. Xena watched as they came in noticing who they were and smiled. Emma and Regina sat down at a booth and Xena came up to them to take there order while Gabrielle was taking someone else's order.
"Hello there, what can I get you?"
"I will have a hamburger with french fries and some sweet tea" replied Regina.
Emma looked at Regina with a look like she always gets the same thing over and over again every week.
"What? You know my obsession with hamburgers and fries!"
"Yes I do my darling but every week? Maybe get something; oh I don't know, different?" replied Emma
Regina smiled at Emma's remark.
"I don't think so Wifey, I'm getting a hamburger with fries and a sweet tea!"
Emma gave Regina a nice warming smile like she's in love with a kid and said "Alright, fine. Have it your way!"
Xena had a surprised look on her face and then said "Wait, are you two married?"
Regina and Emma both looked at Xena with a big smile on there face and at the same time they both said "yes!"
"We have been married for over a year but been together for 2 years now"! replied Regina.
As soon as Regina said that, Xena's heart melted with joy because back in her world, same sex marriage was illegal and treated differently but here in this world, it seems like no one cares and that made her happy inside.
With a teary eyed voice, Xena replied "Congratulations to you two! I'm so happy you found happiness in one another!"
"Thank you!" replied Regina.
Xena continued writing down Regina's order and then turned to Emma and asked what she was having.
"I'll have a chicken sandwich and fries with a chocolate milk shake"
Xena wrote her order down then went to go give the orders to Granny to cook them.
Once Emma and Regina ate there meals and paid, they both got up from the booth. Before walking out of Granny's, Regina told Xena to have her and Gabrielle meet them back at her house when there shifts are done to try and figure out exactly how the cyclone got them there. Regina gave Xena her address and said if they needed help finding it, to have Ruby show them. Then they walked out of Granny's.
Ruby showed Xena and Gabrielle exactly where Regina and Emma's house was. It was a small town so Ruby only needed to show them once. As Regina let Xena and Gabrielle inside her home, she lead them to her living room. Emma was already there and told Xena and Gabrielle to have a seat anywhere they liked. They both sat together on the couch while Emma sat in a chair across from the couch while Regina sat in the other chair across from the couch next to Emma.
Emma and Regina were surprised to see Xena and Gabrielle with there warrior clothes on and weapons with them as if they were ready for a fight.
"Why do you both have your warrior clothes on and weapons with you if you don't mind me asking?" asked Emma.
"Well you never know when we might need them" replied Gabrielle.
"You see, where me and Gabrielle come from we are warriors as you can tell and most of everybody tries to kill us!" Xena said.
Regina nodded her head in understanding but then said " You really don't need them with you here. You don't wear them on you when your working at Granny's and you don't need them now!"
"We might not have them at Granny's but we can grab them in a matter of seconds if we needed to. We both can fight with just about anything on but so far it's just one quiet town!" replied Xena.
Regina looked at Emma and was not sure exactly how to explain things that go around here. But started to try.
"There are actually a lot of things that go around here but we deal with them magically"
Xena and Gabrielle looked at each other and then looked back at Emma and Regina.
"Wait, you mean to tell me your witches?" Xena said
Regina looked down at the floor for a few seconds then back up at them.
"Well my mother had magic and so do I. I don't label myself as a witch. I never did. I actually used to be called the evil queen back in the enchanted forest and back then, I was very evil"!
Right after Regina said that, it clicked into Xena's brain.
"I know you or at least I know of you. In my world, it was just a legend made up about 30 years ago of an evil which who casted a dark curse to get her happy ending. I heard the whole story but never believed it because it was told by one of the Gods and according to them, you were not from our world but a different one that the God could go back and forth to"
Regina and Emma both looked at each other with very confused looks.
"What do you mean by Gods?" replied Regina
"Gods as in Ares: The God Of War, Aphrodite: The God Of Love, and the list just goes on and on" said Xena.
Regina looked down on the ground and smiled then looked back up at Xena and smirked.
"Your really from a land that has Goddesses and somehow they heard of me? Wow did my name get around, huh?"
Xena laughed at that remark. Then pointed to Emma.
"So if she's the evil queen I heard about, then who are you? How are you guys married?"
Emma laughed. "That's kinda a long story to be honest. Long story short, I'm the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. They sent me to this world to escape her dark curse through a wardrobe that was enchanted by wood. I grew up, had a son that Regina some how coincidentally adopted, and 10 years later after giving him up, he found me. Told me I was the savior and had to break the curse. I thought he was crazy but he was only a kid so I went with it. Turned out, I broke the curse and got my son back. My sons love is what changed Regina good. With Regina's magic and my magic combined, we found out we're stronger together. That's what started our friendship and our partnership over our son. Then somehow we just fell in love!"
Xena gave a surprise face and put up her finger.
"Wait, you have magic too?"
"Yes I do. Apparently when your destined to be the savior as I was, you get to have magic as well!"
"Oh I see well then can both your magic combined take me and Gabrielle home to our world"?
"I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. But I promise you, we'll get you back home!" replied Emma.
After Xena and Gabrielle got back to there room at Granny's, it was around 8pm. Her and Gabrielle weren't really tired yet so they decided to figure out how the tv worked. Ruby always said she'd help them if they needed it so Xena went downstairs to the restaurant area and found Ruby was still there and asked for her help to work the tv. After Ruby showed Xena and Gabrielle how to work the tv in there room, Ruby left. Xena and Gabrielle still didn't understand this world yet knowing it was so different from there own but they kinda liked it here. After a while Xena and Gabrielle fell asleep in each other's arms watching tv on the couch.
The next morning they both woke up to a loud thunder outside. They both rushed outside to see what it was. A green twister formed in the sky dropping someone in there world. Regina and Emma both ran to where Xena and Gabrielle were. Regina noticed Xena and Gabrielle had there weapons on them even though she simply stated they didn't need them. Regina yelled up at the sky saying "Somone's coming. It's a cyclone!"
Xena looked at Regina confused.
"If this thing is the same thing that brought Gabrielle and I to your world then how did you not notice it?"
Regina looked at Xena with a surprised face. "I don't know. Were you next to the Storybrooke sign?"
Xena squinted her eyes and suddenly remembered.
"Yes we were actually!"
"Then that's probably why we didn't notice it."
Xena looked back at the cyclone which slowly faded away. Xena saw a woman becoming more clear as the green smokes fades. Xena then pulls out her sword and said "Alti".
"Well it's nice to see you again Xena, with your little blonde girlfriend Gabrielle! It wasn't so easy to find you here. Nice escape plan escaping to another world"
Xena told Emma and Regina while still looking at Alti "This is my fight! You don't know her power like I do!"
Regina formed a fireball in her hand and said, "Well I've got power too!"
Xena tried to stop Regina from throwing the fireball at Alti by saying "No you don't understand her power!" But it was too late. Regina threw the fireball at Alti.
Alti caught the fireball in her hand and simply blew it out with a laugh.
Before Regina knew it, Alti started using her power on her. Regina fell to the ground. Regina held her head and screamed as she was seeing her future as Alti was showing her. Regina was seeing how she was gonna die by Alti. It started to hurt her physically. Regina kept screaming.
Emma suddenly screamed "STOP" and used her power on Alti. White colored magic flowed through Emma's hands and onto Alti. But Alti caught Emma's magic with her hand and stopped it. Then Alti turned to look at Xena.
"What happened to you and your little side kick sword fighting me? Lord knows I love a nice good sword fight?!"
Just like that Xena did her famous warrior cry and flip and landed right in front of Alti. Alti pulled out her sword behind her back and began sword fighting. They fought for a good minute before Alti started using her power on her. Xena started to see flashbacks to the time Xena got her legs broke when she was on the cross by Ceasers army. Then suddenly Xena fell to the ground.
Gabrielle yelled "XENA!"
Then picked up her sais weapons that she had tied to her ankles and started to go after Alti to help Xena. Xena yelled "NO!" but Gabrielle didn't listen. When Xena needed her, she was there even if Xena insisted not to.
Gabrielle punched and kicked Alti. Even used her sais and stabbed her in the stomach. Alti just laughed and kicked Gabrielle in the stomach then pushed her across the street.
Xena saw Gabrielle was hurt and somehow used all her strength to stand up with her sword and fight some more. As Alti was about to go after Gabrielle some more, Xena used her chakram and waited a few seconds. The chakram hit Alti and sliced her back. Blood was gushing. As the chakram came back to Xena, she caught it like she always does. Alti suddenly turned around.
"You might've won this little round Xena but you won't win the next round. It's you and me in the Astra world again. I'll let you know when by using my mind power. You'll know."
Then all the sudden, Alti disappeared.
Xena looked confused knowing Alti could never just disappear like that before. Something must've changed. Her power must've gotten more enhanced. This wasn't good.
Gabrielle ran to Xena.
"XENA? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Gabrielle. I'll heal soon enough from her power. So will Regina!"
Emma and Regina slowly walked up to Xena and Gabrielle. Emma had her arms around Regina helping her walk.
"Who the hell was that?" asked Emma
Xena looked at Emma.
"That was Alti. She's my enemy. I think she thinks me and Gabrielle tried to escape her by coming here but that's not it. We don't even know how we got here or how she got here!"
Regina looked at Xena and Gabrielle and with a big grasp on her breath.
"Maybe you need those weapons on you after all!"
"Well, you'll see I have many skills with my weapons and even with my hands. I know this one pressure point that if I don't release it, you'll die in 30 seconds" replied Xena
"Well then Emma and I need your *many skills* to help get that hell woman out of Storybrooke!" replied Regina
"With pleasure!" said Xena.
