This chapter is for TheCyanBandit with the prompt: "One of them gets put under a sleeping curse and the other has no idea what is happening"

Snow crept into Regina's vault, listening carefully to make sure that no one was inside already. If Regina caught her here, all of their relationship trust would be gone. Not that it wouldn't be after this anyway.

"What are we doing here?" David asked. "Why are we trespassing in Regina's vault?"

"Because we need something that only she will have," Snow said, starting to search.

"And what exactly are we looking for?" David asked.

"This," Snow said triumphantly, holding up a needle. "Have to be careful with it. Not that it would affect us anyway."

"Snow, this isn't right," David said. "Why are we stealing a sleeping curse from Regina's vault?"

"Because we're going to prick Regina with it," Snow said. "And we're going to prove to both her and Emma that they are True Love's. No matter how much they want to skirt around talking about it."

"We can't just prick Regina with a sleeping curse without her permission!" David argued. "Emma would never forgive us for that."

"And what would you suggest then?" Snow asked. "They both deserve to be happy, David. And if this is what it takes, then I'm willing to do that."

Several beats passed before David sighed. "Fine. Let's do it."

"I don't remember inviting you two into my office," Regina said, not even looking up as Snow and David walked into her office. "Or scheduling an appointment."

"This was too important," Snow said. "It's about Emma."

"What about her?" Regina asked, giving David and Snow her full attention.

"We need your help with something," Snow said. "We're trying to prove to her that the person she loves really is her True Love."

"And what do I have to do with this?" Regina asked.

"We're getting the whole town together," Snow said. "Kind of a big get-together. And we know that you're good friends with Emma. So would you help us out?"

Regina sighed. As long as Emma was happy, she supposed she would have to learn to be happy for Emma and whomever she loved. "Very well. I'll help."

Snow smiled. "I'm glad that you agreed, otherwise this would have been a lot harder."

"What?" Regina asked. She tensed as Snow and David walked over on either side of her. "What the hell is going on?"

"You'll thank us for this later," Snow said, grabbing Regina's index finger and pricking her with the sleeping curse.

"What have you done?" Regina asked, pulling away from Snow.

Snow just smiled as Regina's eyes slid closed and she started to slump to the floor. David quickly reached forward and picked her up bridal style.

"Now what?" David asked.

"Now we move on to Stage 3," Snow said. "Time for Emma to wake her up."

"What is going on?" Emma asked, looking out the station window. People seemed to be walking quickly all over the place, as if the town was suddenly under not control whatsoever.

Snow came running into the station. "Emma! Thank goodness we found you!"

"I'm here all the time," Emma said, confused. "It's not like it's hard to find me."

Snow waved her hand dismissively. "The town is going crazy, and we need your help."

"Isn't that Regina's job?" Emma asked. "She's the mayor, not me."

"She's the reason that everyone is freaking out," Snow explained. "Someone put her in a sleeping curse!"

"Someone what?" Emma asked. She jumped to her feet, ready to spring into action. No one hurt Regina and got away with it. Especially with something like a sleeping curse.

"Pricked her finger with a sleeping curse," Snow said.

"Wait a minute," Emma said. "The only sleeping curse available in town is in Regina's vault."

"And?" Snow asked. "What does that matter?"

"Because no one is allowed in Regina's vault but our family," Emma said, stepping away from Snow. "And Henry and I would never do that to her. And she wouldn't do that to herself."

Snow winced. "Emma I-"

"You put her under a sleeping curse?" Emma asked. "What is wrong with you?"

"You can wake her up!" Snow exclaimed. "You both love each other, so it should work."

Emma shook her head. "I can't believe you. I'll try it, but I can't believe that you would do something like this."

Snow tried to justify her actions, but Emma was already gone. She had poofed herself right to
Regina's side.

Henry jumped as Emma suddenly appeared next to him. "Ma? What are you doing here?"

Emma shook her head. "It's a long story. But I'm here to wake your mom up."

"I knew you were True Loves," Henry said, smiling.

"You and everyone else," Emma mumbled, sitting next to Regina. "Who brought her here?"

"David," Henry said. "He said something about a sleeping curse and then left really fast. He seemed kind of guilty about the whole thing."

"Of course he did," Emma mumbled. She reached over and brushed some of Regina's hair out of her face.

"You're going to wake her up," Henry said strongly. "I know you are."

Emma took a deep breath. "Please wake up." She leaned down and gently pressed her lips to Regina's, hoping beyond belief that her kiss would be the key to waking Regina up.

Mwahahahaha. See you tomorrow :)
