"Since no one is volunteering, we decided to draw names from a hat," Mother Superior said. She was smirking which meant she was up to no good. "And I have our first pairing. Our very own Mayor-"

Regina stood with a sugary smile and began to walk to the stage, hoping to get this over with quickly. The way the nun was smirking she knew her partner was going to be someone she loathed; Emma Swan perhaps?

"And Mr. Gold."

Gold looked up from the bar, his eyes narrowed to slits. "Absolutely-"

"How delightful," Regina said into a microphone. There was no way he was getting out of this. Everyone was participating, even Mr. Gold. He finally got out of his seat and walked slowly to the stage, his eyes locked with Regina's. She was enjoying this.

"I know just the song," she said, whispering to the DJ. "I'll go first. I believe you know this one."

Gold grumbled, sure if he didn't she could put the memory in his mind. He heard the sound of a xylophone and then Regina began to sing.

"Now and then I think of when we were together. Like when you said you felt so happy you could die. Told myself you were right for me, but it felt so lonely in your company. But that was love and it's an ache I still remember." She was staring right at him with intensity that it burned a little. He almost missed his part.

"You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness, like resignation to the end, always the end. So when we found that we could not make sense, well you said that we would still be friends, but I'll admit that I was glad that it was over."

"Did they...do they...?" Emma whispered to Mary Margaret, watching the awkward emotional intensity between Gold and Regina.

"God I hope not," Mary Margaret said back, feeling extremely uncomfortable. What had started out as a funny joke between the nuns had turned into an awkward situation the whole room was forced to sit through. Gold and Regina were singing the chorus together.

"I guess that I don't need that though. Now you're just somebody that I used to know." This song had been a mistake. Their love hate relationship was suddenly on display for all of Storybrooke to witness and Regina regretted it immensely. No one knew the real reason behind their intensity, the mentor mentee relationship they had had, but it was clear something had transpired between them once, at one point in their lives. The only real issue was people were going to think they had had some kind of romantic entanglement and she hated that.

"But I don't want to live that way," she sung to him with feeling, "Reading in to every word you say. You said that you could let it go and I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know!"

"But you didn't have to cut me off," they sang together, "Make it out like it never happened and we were nothing. And I don't even need your love but you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough. No you didn't have to stoop so low, have your friends collect your records and then change your number. I guess that I don't need though, now you're just somebody that I used to know."

The song was wrapping up and the intensity between them was ramping down. Gold was glad, the song felt like an accusation of some kind. He stepped back, glad to hear the song end and a smattering of applause. Everyone seemed afraid to make eye contact as he went back to his bar stool and Regina went back to her corner in the room. They made eye contact and then looked away again. He was going to pretend this night never happened. He hoped, for Storybrooke's sake, the people in the town did the same.
