"Let's play a game," Regina said.

Emma slowly opened an eye to look at her. "I'm comfortable."

Regina laughed before playfully poking Emma's side. "Come on. It'll be fun. And there will be an award at the end if you successfully complete the game."

"An award huh?" Emma asked. She suddenly looked very interested.

Regina nodded. "But you have to play the game by the rules. And if you give up, no reward. Deal?"

"Deal," Emma said. "So what is this game?"

Regina snapped her fingers, poofing both herself and Emma into the backyard. They stood on opposite sides of the yard, and Emma began to regret her decision to play whatever game Regina had up her sleeve. "Why are we outside?" Emma asked. "This isn't going to be an obstacle course is it?"

Regina laughed and shook her head. "No, nothing like that. It's called 'Real or Not?' Basically, I ask you questions, and you reply with 'real' or 'not'. Answer honestly, and you take a step forward. Lie to me, and you take a step back. When you make it to me, you win."

"Okay, that doesn't sound too bad," Emma said.

Regina smiled. "We'll start with the easy questions."

"There are different difficulties?" Emma asked.

"Hush," Regina scolded. "Let's get started. First one is really easy. You love Henry, real or not?"

"Real. Very much real," Emma said strongly. She smiled as Regina chuckled before she took a step forward.

"Next question," Regina said. "You enjoy it when I dress you up in dressy clothes, real or not?"

"Not," Emma said.

Regina rolled her eyes and pointed backwards. "How did you know I was lying?" Emma asked.

"I know you," Regina said simply. "Now then, next question. You trust me completely, real or not?"

"Real," Emma said. She took a step forward, not even waiting for confirmation from Regina.

"Good," Regina said. "Now then, onto the medium-hard questions."

"Great," Emma mumbled. "This'll be good."

"You love your parents. Real or not?" Regina asked.

Emma looked at her with wide eyes. "How is that an easy question? There's so much that can be considered!"

"I didn't say it was easy, we moved to the medium-hard level," Regina said, smirking. "Now answer the question."

Emma took a deep breath. "Real." She looked at Regina, who nodded. Breathing a sigh of relief, Emma took a step forward.

"Next question," Regina said. "You would get rid of your bug for me, real or not?"

Emma laughed. "Not."

Regina rolled her eyes affectionately. "Someday, I am going to get above that metal coffin on wheels on the love scale."

Emma smiled before taking a step forward. She was about a quarter of the way to Regina, and so far the game hadn't been too bad.

"Next question. You like it when I bake things with apples, real or not?" Regina asked.

"Real," Emma said quickly. "Your apple pies are awesome."

Regina laughed. "Glad to see that you got over the whole apple turnover incident."

Emma waved her hand dismissively as she stepped forward. "I got over that a long time ago. I was threatening your claim over Henry."

"Speaking of Henry, you regret giving him up, real or not?" Regina asked.

Emma gasped. "That's a mean question."

"How so?" Regina asked.

"You know that I regret giving him up," Emma said. "But at the same time, I don't because I'm glad that he ended up with a mother like you."

"Good point," Regina said. "Forget that question. You enjoy watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, real or not?"

"Not," Emma said. "It's so bad. And very unrealistic."

Regina nodded as Emma took a step forward. "My comfort movie is Lady and the Tramp, real or not?"

"Real," Emma said, smiling. She honestly found it incredibly adorable that Regina always went to that movie whenever she had a bad day.

"You're halfway done," Regina said with a smile.

"So let me guess, the questions get hard now?" Emma asked.

Regina chuckled before growing serious. "Any questions that I ask that you don't feel comfortable answering, just tell me okay?"

"Okay," Emma said. "Bring it on."

"You loved Hook at one point, real or not?" Regina asked.

Emma bit her lip. "Real."

Regina smiled gently as Emma took a step forward. "You've punched someone in the face on my behalf, real or not?"

"Not," Emma said. She groaned as Regina pointed backwards. "How did you even find out about that?"

"Your mother wasn't exactly quiet about it," Regina said, laughing. "Next question. Something happened to you in a foster home that still haunts you to this day, real or not?"

"Real," Emma said, wincing. "Very real."

"Two more questions," Regina promised. "Then you win."

"Bring it on," Emma challenged.

Regina laughed. "Only catch. You can't refuse to answer these last two."

"Uh oh," Emma said. "Okay. I'm ready."

"You love me, real or not?" Regina asked.

"Real," Emma said strongly. "Very very real."

Regina smiled as Emma came to stand right in front of her. "Look at you, almost done with the game."

"So what's my final question?" Emma asked.

Regina smiled before pulling a ring out of her pocket and getting down on one knee. "Final question. Will you marry me, real or not?"

"Real!" Emma exclaimed. "A thousand times real." Regina laughed before slipping the ring onto Emma's finger. She stood up and pulled her girlfriend, now fiancé, to her and kissed her passionately.

"You had that planned the whole time didn't you?" Emma asked.

"Duh," Regina said, laughing. "I will have you know though, Henry did come up with some of the questions."

"Of course he did," Emma said. She smiled before kissing Regina gently. "Best game ever."

So that was totally not the ending that I had planned, and then I was like, "duh, a proposal is a question". Hope that you enjoyed it!
