"What is she doing here?" Hook asked, glaring at Regina as she walked in the room.

"Be a little more respectful Captain Guyliner," Regina said. "I was asked to be here. I merely responded to her request."

"You asked her to be here?" Hook asked, looking in surprise at Emma. "What for?"

"We need to talk," Emma said. "And I need to prove a point."

"What point?" Regina asked.

"That my True Love isn't who everyone thinks it is," Emma said. "Do you remember how my heart has a protection spell on it?"

"Of course," Regina said. "No one is able to take your heart from you."

"Except for my True Love," Emma said. "My True Love should be able to rip it out anyway. The spell won't block it."

"I'm not sure I like where this is going," Hook said.

"For once I agree with the pirate," Regina said. "I don't like where this is going."

Emma pulled a potion out of her pocket and handed it to Hook. "Put some of this on your hand. It will give you the magic to rip out my heart."

"You want me to rip your heart out?" Hook asked. "Are you crazy?"

Emma shrugged. "Maybe. But if it doesn't work, that means that you're not my True Love."

"And then what?" Hook scoffed. "Her Royal Highness tries as well?"

"It's Your Majesty," Regina said, glaring at him.

Hook rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

"Could you two quit it?" Emma asked. "Killian, just pour the stuff on your hand."

Hook sighed before pouring the potion on his hand, causing it to glow bright yellow. "You sure you want to do this?"

Emma nodded and turned to face him. "Go for it."

Hook took a deep breath before reaching for Emma's heart. Just as he was about to reach into her chest, Emma's heart shield repelled him backwards.

"Are you okay?" Emma asked, walking over and offering her hand to help him up.

Hook waved away her hand before looking at Regina. "Your turn."

Emma turned to Regina and smiled. She and Regina both knew that this would work. They had tried it before. But Emma needed Hook to see it and tell her parents about the incident.

Regina took a deep breath before reaching towards Emma's chest. As she was just about to reach into Emma's chest, she hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Emma asked.

"I don't want to hurt you," Regina whispered.

Emma smiled. "And that's why you're my True Love. You can do it."

Regina nodded before reaching into Emma's chest and pulling her heart out. She looked down at Emma's heart, and froze at the sight of another heart in her hand.

"You're her True Love," Hook said, gazing at Regina in shock.

Regina shook her head to clear her thoughts before pushing Emma's heart back in her chest. "Yes. Yes I am."

Hook nodded before standing up. "Very well then. I'll be going."

Emma grabbed his arm as he passed her. "Thank you for being understanding."

Hook smiled at her. "Who am I to get in the way of True Love?"

"Regina is your what?" Snow asked.

"True Love," Emma said calmly.

"How do you know this?" David asked.

"She can rip my heart out," Emma said. "She's the only one who can get through the True Love barrier."

"Maybe she's using some kind of rare magic," Snow said. "You don't know what she has up her sleeve."

"Nothing this time," Regina said. "I promise."

"I don't believe you," Snow said skeptically.

"Then let us show you," Emma said. She turned to Regina expectantly. "Take out my heart again."

"What? No," Regina said. "There's no way that I can take it out again."

"Why not?" Emma asked.

"I'm not going to purposefully hurt you to prove a point to your parents," Regina said. "That's not worth it."

Emma smiled as David and Snow looked at Regina in awe. "You really have changed," Snow whispered.

"And you really do love each other," David said. "And are True Loves."

Regina and Emma nodded. "Glad you finally figured that out," Emma said.

David and Snow shared a glance. "True Love works in mysterious ways," David said. "I guess this is just the way yours is."

Emma smiled at Regina with nothing but happiness in her eyes. "Yes. Yes it is."
