"What's something that you can do that I don't know about?" Emma asked.

Regina laughed. "Well that's random."

"I'm serious," Emma said. "Come on. There has to still be something left that you can do that I don't know about."

"Does that count magical things?" Regina asked. "Because then we'd be here a long time."

Emma shook her head. "Something normal. That people without magic can do."

Regina pursed her lips as she thought. After several moments she started smiling. "Okay. There is something that I can do. I used to do it for Henry all of the time."

Emma looked at her, curious. "Go for it."

Regina chuckled before getting up and walking to the kitchen. Emma waited in confusion. What was Regina doing?

Regina laughed at the confusion on Emma's face as she came back into the room with a flashlight. She shut the lights in the living room off before turning on the flashlight and setting it on the coffee table.

"What are you doing?" Emma asked. "Telling a ghost story?"

"No," Regina said. "Although I am good at those too."

Emma rolled her eyes affectionately. "Of course you are. Is there anything you're not good at?"

Regina smirked. "Nope."

Emma laughed, getting comfortable on the couch. "So what's this talent that I'm about to see?"

"Don't laugh," Regina warned, and then used her hands to create the shadow of a bunny.

"You can do shadow puppets!" Emma exclaimed. "I've always wanted to do those, but I could never do it. My fingers always got all jumbled up."

Regina smiled before changing her hands to a turtle. "I used to do this for Henry all the time before he went to bed."

Emma smiled at her. "You're a great mother, you know that?"

Regina's smile slightly dropped. She didn't say anything, but changed her hands into the form of a bull.

"Is that supposed to mean bullshit?" Emma teased.

Regina laughed. "No. Although it is a little far-fetched. I wasn't the greatest mother when you first got here."

Emma shrugged. "I was threatening your claim over him. I technically have no legal rights over him. And I just came out of nowhere."

Regina laughed. "That you did." Smiling, she changed her hands to a dog. She chuckled before making the dog bark.

"Let me guess," Emma said, laughing. "That one was Henry's favorite."

Regina nodded. "He's always wanted a dog. I figured a shadow puppet would be enough."

Emma shook her head. "No way. You need the actual thing."

Regina chuckled. "And now, for the grand finale!" She smiled as Emma laughed before moving her hands into the form of a swan.

Emma clapped. "Bravo! That was the best shadow puppet show I've ever seen."

Regina bowed before turning off the flashlight and turning the living room lights back on. She walked over and sat next to Emma again. "So there you have it. My hidden talent."

"How did you learn how to do that?" Emma asked.

Regina shrugged. "I taught myself. I spent a lot of time alone in my room, so I found ways to amuse myself."

"Your room was always dark?" Emma asked.

"Maybe," Regina said.

Emma looked at her knowingly. Regina sighed. "I spent a lot of my time in a closet, with only a candle for light. So I would make shadow puppets to pass the time."

"Well at least now you're out of the closet," Emma teased, nudging her gently.

Regina laughed. "Funny."

"I know," Emma said. "Why did you spend so much time in that closet? Were you hiding?"

"No," Regina said. "That was my punishment spot. So I naturally spent a lot of time there."

"Well at least something good came out of it," Emma said. "You learned how to make some awesome puppets."

Regina smiled. "True."

Emma reached forward and grabbed the flashlight. "Turn off the lights again. I have to tell you my awesome ghost story."

Regina laughed before getting up and turning the lights off. "I doubt you'll actually make me scared."

Emma smirked. "Challenge accepted."
