This chapter is for AlphaLuna87 with the prompt: "Emma tries to get Regina to watch one of her favorite TV shows and accidentally sucks them into it."

"What are we watching tonight?" Regina asked, plopping onto the couch next to Emma.

"I am going to introduce you to one of the greatest TV series of all time," Emma said. "Criminal Minds."

"What is it about?" Regina asked.

"Well all of the episodes are different," Emma explained. "But the main idea is that someone gets killed at the beginning of each episode, and their killer is found at the end."

"That sounds...interesting…" Regina said. "But I suppose I did promise to watch whatever you had planned, so go for it."

Emma smiled. "I'm starting us off in Season 6, because that's when Prentiss joins."

"Prentiss?" Regina asked.

"She's one of the characters," Emma said. "My favorite to be exact. She's just so strong. I wanted to be her when I grew up."

"Well then I think I need to meet her," Regina said.


4 episodes later, and Regina was fighting to stay awake. It wasn't that she didn't like the show; she just didn't find it interesting. Some of the killers were just predictable.

Besides, she had done worse things to people in the Enchanted Forest. What this show qualified as torture was nothing in comparison.

"You zoned out again," Emma said, pausing the episode. "We can just stop watching if you want."

"I'm sorry," Regina apologized. "I just can't seem to make myself interested in what they have to say. It's just starting to become predictable is all."

"Maybe you just need to get more into it," Emma suggested. "Huh. Get more into it. That would be fun."

"What do you mean?" Regina asked.

"You know, if we could actually get into the show," Emma said. "Be the ones to solve the crime."

Regina shook her head. "You are crazy."

Emma shrugged. "I know. But think about it. Us, working together as partners; solving crime after crime." She gestured to the TV, and froze when she saw white smoke surrounding her and Regina.


After the smoke cleared away, the two women looked around at their surroundings.

"Where are we?" Regina asked.

Emma blanched as she looked at where they were. "We're in the TV show. We're literally in the TV show."

"What episode did you put in?" Regina asked.

Emma looked around at their surroundings. "Oh no."

"What?" Regina asked. "What's wrong?"

"I accidentally put this episode in instead of the one that I wanted," Emma said. "This is the one where Prentiss dies."

"She dies?" Regina asked. "Spoiler alert."

Emma laughed. "We need to hide. He's going to be here any second, and that's when we really don't want to be seen."

"What's going to happen?" Regina asked.

"Shh," Emma hissed. She grabbed Regina's hand and pulled her behind a pile of boxes, hoping that it would hide them from Doyle.

Doyle walked into the room, pulling Emily with him. "Are we just expected to sit here and watch?" Regina whispered. "I can't just watch a woman be killed."

"Then I would look away," Emma said as the fight between Emily and Doyle began. Like every time she watched the episode, Emma winced when Doyle stabbed Emily. She glanced over and saw Regina's very pale face looking back at her.

"He stabbed her with a wooden plank," Regina whispered.

Emma nodded before taking her hand and squeezing it gently. For Regina's sake, she wished that they would get home soon.

A couple seconds later, white smoke surrounded them again, transporting them safely home.


"Thank goodness," Regina sighed in relief. "I did not want to stay there for one more minute."

"I'm so sorry," Emma apologized. "I had no idea that we would be in that episode. Or that scene. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Regina said.

"He got to you, didn't he?" Emma asked, scooting closer to her.

"Yes," Regina admitted. "The look in his eyes was one that I've seen in my own before. I could have done that to someone."

"But you didn't," Emma said, smiling. "And that's all that really matters."

Regina smiled. "At least I didn't stab people with a large wooden plank."

Emma laughed. "That's good."

Regina smiled before pushing herself off of the couch and leaving the room. "I burned them while they were attached to it instead."

So I didn't know what TV show to choose, because the only one that I really watch is OUAT.
