"What are you doing?" Emma asked, dropping the book she was holding in surprise. "Why is all of that going into the trash?"

"Because it's unhealthy," Regina said, tossing another box of junk food into the trashcan. "We need to start eating healthier, and the first step is getting rid of the junk food."

Emma reached into the trash and pulled out the last box Regina had thrown it. "You're getting rid of Oreos? That's just cruel!"

"I wasn't called the Evil Queen for nothing," Regina said, pulling the Oreos out of Emma's hands and putting them back into the trash. "If you want a snack, there's plenty of fruit or vegetables in the fridge."

Emma's nose wrinkled in disgust. "You've got to be kidding me."

Regina chuckled. "You won't die if you don't have junk food. Besides, it's better for you anyway."

"Since when did you go on a health kick?" Emma asked, reaching down to pull an Oreo out of its case.

Regina slapped her hand away. "I've always been on a health kick. This is just the first time that I'm fully enforcing it. Trust me, you'll start feeling much healthier and your body will feel more at ease without all of that junk."

Emma looked sadly at the trashcan. "That's to be determined. Does Henry know about this?"

"Not yet," Regina said, pulling out more food and throwing it away. "Although he should be home-"

"What are you doing?" Henry asked, dropping his backpack on the floor. "Why are you throwing all of the good tasting stuff away?"

"Good tasting stuff?" Regina asked. "Fruits taste good, don't they?"

"Yeah but not as good as these," Henry said, holding up the bag of marshmallows to prove his point. "You can't throw all of this stuff away."

"Watch me," Regina said, taking the bag from him and throwing it into the trash. "I am your mother, and as such, I am allowed to determine your diet."

Henry groaned. "Are you on one of your health kicks again?"

Emma snorted. "Told you."

"I have always been on a health kick," Regina argued. "You two have just never noticed."

"So if you're on such a big health kick, why do you always get a shake when we go to Granny's together?" Henry asked innocently.

Regina glared at him. "I thought we had agreed to keep that a secret."

"You're getting rid of the junk food," Henry said. "All cards are on the table now."

"I like to indulge myself every once in awhile," Regina said. "That doesn't mean that I pig out like you two do."

"So what if we make a deal," Emma said.

Regina shuddered. "I hate deals."

"Not like Gold's kind of deal," Emma said. "Our own kind. You let us keep the junk food, and in return we'll only pig out once a week instead of all of the time."

Regina looked at them both skeptically. "And you promise that you'll stand by this deal?"

Henry and Emma nodded. Regina sighed. She couldn't resist their identical pleading eyes no matter how hard she tried. "Fine."

Emma and Regina both laughed as Henry practically dove into the trash to pull out the junk food that Regina had thrown away. He started putting them all back where they belonged, happy that Regina wasn't as uptight as she used to be. He supposed he had Emma to thank for that.

Emma walked over to Henry and gave him a discreet low five. "She didn't even find our secret stash."
