This chapter is for Quladi with the prompt: "Tinkerbell's fairy dust trail to find Regina's True Love passes through Robin and hits Emma instead. Emma is once again in the Enchanted Forest in the past, but this time she is alone. Her plan to get back is to sit and wait for her wife to rescue her."

This'll be fun!

Emma officially hated her magic. All she wanted to do was get home, and apologize to her wife. They had gotten into an argument because Tink had managed to let it slip that Regina's True Love was Robin, not Emma. Even though Regina herself had told Emma that they were True Loves.

Using her emotions, Emma's magic had managed to not only send her to the Enchanted Forest, but also back in time. So, she was currently sitting in a booth at the bar, all alone in the corner.

Men had tried several times already to make a move on her, but they had all quickly been shot down. And then Robin himself had walked in.

Instantly, Emma knew what time period that she was in. This was the story that Tink had told her. Tink had used her fairy dust to lead Regina to her True Love, and it had led them to this very bar, and the man with the lion tattoo.

Emma sighed as she looked down at her apple cider. This place had nothing on Regina's.

She really just wanted to get home, but how was she going to do that? Her magic clearly had some other plan for her that didn't include going back anytime soon.

Downing the rest of her cider, Emma stood up. There was no reason that she needed to stay and see the fairy dust come into the bar and go straight to Robin.

Suddenly, a trail of fairy dust came in through the window. Emma mentally cursed. She was too late, and now had to watch Regina see Robin for the first time.

But as the dust came into the bar, Emma could tell that something was off. The dust hovered ever so slightly, as if it was contemplating where it needed to go.

Emma looked at the window and saw the faces of Regina and Tink, both staring intently at the dust trail. They both wanted to know whom it would choose.

The dust went straight to Robin, causing Emma's heart to hurt. Tink had been right. She wasn't Regina's True Love. No matter how much she wanted to be.

But what happened next left Emma speechless. The dust went straight through Robin, and circled around Emma, lighting her up like a Christmas tree. The dust had chosen her. She was Regina's True Love.

Smiling, Emma looked at the window. Tink was gesturing wildly, no doubt trying to convince Regina to walk into the bar and meet her True Love.

But Emma knew something that Tink didn't. Regina was scared on this day, and she would never walk into the bar.

Taking a deep breath, Emma walked out of the bar, startling Tink and Regina. Tink smiled, and Regina just froze.

Emma smiled kindly and walked up to her future wife. "Hello. I saw you outside and just knew that I had to talk to you."

"You did?" Regina asked.

Emma nodded. "I couldn't let someone that beautiful just stand out here."

Regina blushed and smiled shyly, a look that stole Emma's breath away. This Regina hadn't been hardened yet. This Regina still had hope.

"I have to get going, but you two have a great night!" Tink said. She smiled before turning and walking quickly away, leaving Emma and Regina alone.

"What is your name?" Regina asked.

Emma blanched. Should she use her real name? This could change time completely. Then again, her parents hadn't thought twice about meeting Princess Leia. "Emma. My name is Emma."

"What a pretty name," Regina said.

Emma smiled. "Thank you. Do you think that I could buy you a drink?"

Regina looked in the bar and smiled before nodding. "I'd like that very much."

Emma smiled even bigger and opened the door to the bar, gesturing for Regina to enter. Regina smiled before walking in and looking around. She had never been in a place like this before.

Luckily for her, Emma already knew this. She nudged Regina's shoulder gently and started walking back to the corner that she had been in previously. As they walked past Robin, Emma glanced back at Regina. Regina smiled at her, not even paying any attention to the man she was supposed to love.

They spent the whole night together at the bar, getting to know each other. Eventually Regina confessed to being the queen, and Emma just shrugged it off.

Around dawn, Regina finally decided that she needed to get home. Emma said goodbye to her, and promised to see her very soon. After Regina was out of her sight, Emma let out the breath that she had been holding. She really needed to get home to her own Regina.

She looked up at the sky and closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of sunshine on her face. The Enchanted Forest really was a beautiful place, but she wanted to get home.

"Emma?" Regina asked. "What are you doing?"

Emma jumped and opened her eyes, looking around in confusion. She was back in Storybrooke. How was that possible?

"Emma?" Regina called, waving her hand in front of Emma's face. "Are you okay?"

"Fine," Emma said, shaking her head to clear her thoughts. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Regina asked. "You were just standing here, facing the sky with your eyes closed. Not exactly normal behavior."

"I'm sorry for how I acted earlier," Emma said. "I didn't mean to get mad about Robin."

"I can't believe that Tink brought that up," Regina said. "I love you, and nothing will change that. Although there has been a new development. I seem to remember meeting you in a bar...in the

Enchanted Forest."

Emma smiled guiltily. "I may have accidentally traveled back in time to the Enchanted Forest. And met you."

"And made me fall in love with you," Regina said. "You seem to be good at that."

Emma chuckled. "Who knew? I can win you over no matter what time period or world we're in."

Regina laughed. "Although that means that you're my True Love. The fairy dust went to you, not Robin."

"What?" Emma asked, feigning innocence. "I did not notice that!"

Regina rolled her eyes affectionately. "Sure you didn't."

Emma smiled before kissing Regina gently. "I love you. Past, present, and future."
