"Where is my pen?" Emma asked. She looked all over her desk, frantically looking under papers. She ended up just picking up all of the papers and dropping them onto the floor. Still no pen.
"What are you doing?" David asked, walking into the room. "Why are your papers all over the floor?"
"I can't find my pen," Emma said. She gave up on finding it on top of her desk, so she started to search in her drawers. Everything in her drawers was tossed onto the floor.
"So you're destroying your desk for a pen?" David asked.
"It's the pen that I use everyday," Emma said, still searching. "I need it."
David picked a pen up from his desk and brought it over to her. "Just use this one. I'll help you clean up this stuff."
Emma shook her head. "I can't use that pen. I need my pen."
"It's a pen," David said in confusion.
"My pen," Emma said, going back to her search. David shook his head before walking back to his desk. He pulled out his phone and called the only person who would probably know what was going on. The town's Emma expert. Regina Mills.
"What in the world happened here?" Regina asked, walking into the station. "It looks like your desk exploded."
"Funny," Emma said. "I can't find my pen."
"Your pen?" Regina asked in confusion.
"Yes, my pen," Emma said. "I can't find it and I need it to get my paperwork done. I can't get it done without my pen."
"Okay," Regina said calmly. "I'm sure that it's around here somewhere." She had learned over time that Emma had certain things that could never change, or it would result in a freak-out. Probably due to time in the system. This pen must be one of those things.
"That's the problem," Emma said, starting to get worked up. "I've checked this whole entire desk and it's not here. I literally need it."
"Take a deep breath," Regina said. "We'll find it, and then everything will be fine. What does the pen look like?"
"It's just a typical blue gel pen," Emma said, running her fingers through her hair. "Nothing special, but I use it everyday."
Regina nodded. "How about you use magic to bring it here?"
"How would I do that?" Emma asked.
"Picture the pen on the desk," Regina said. "And think about how badly you want it."
Emma nodded before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes. In a little puff of white smoke, Emma's pen was right in front of her.
"Oh thank goodness," Emma said, picking up the pen.
Regina smiled. "Now we should probably clean up all of the disaster that was your desk."
Emma winced before looking at everything on the floor next to her desk. "I guess I did kind of go crazy, huh?"
Regina laughed before walking over and starting to pick up the papers on the floor. "You're always crazy. But yes, you had a little freak-out moment. Not as bad as other times though." Back when Emma had first moved in, Regina had moved her toothbrush and Emma had been so freaked out by it that she had started crying. Emma didn't do well with change.
Emma put down the pen before crouching down and helping to clean up her things. "Sorry for dragging you here all the way from work."
"I don't work that far away," Regina chuckled. "And I never turn down a chance to be here for you. You know that."
Emma smiled, putting a huge pile of papers back onto her desk. "I know. How did you even know to come?"
"That would be me," David said, crouching down to help in the cleaning. "I didn't know what to do, but I figured that she would."
"You called her here for me?" Emma asked in surprise.
"Don't look so surprised," David said, smiling. "You're my daughter. And if I can't understand you, but you need help, I have no problem calling Regina."
Regina smiled as Emma pulled David in for a hug. "Well, I think I'll leave you two to your sheriff duties," she said. She stood up, but stopped as Emma grabbed her hand.
"Thank you," Emma said, squeezing her hand. "I love you."
"I love you more," Regina teased, squeezing Emma's hand back.
"Not possible," Emma said, pulling her down for a kiss.
"As much as I love that you're happy together, could we tone down the love?" David asked.
Regina rolled her eyes as Emma laughed. "I had to sit through several years of 'I will always find you'. Consider this payback."
Regina smirked as David laughed. "Fair enough. Carry on." He got up off of the floor and went back to his desk.
Emma turned back to Regina before getting up off of the floor. "Now then, where were we?"
The pen thing is totally me. I have a certain pencil that I always use for school and homework, and I always freak out when I can't find it.
