Have an absolutely fantastic, amazing, awesome, hilarious magical birthday you lovely lady. You absolutely deserve it you Emma Swan you ;) Hope you like them!

16. The stuff that's happened during Emma's life is like something out of a tv show... Wait... They are! Everyone becomes aware they're inside a tv show. Team Evil is not amused.

"Henry, what the hell?" Emma curses as he pokes her to wake up. He looks at her with wide eyes, and her mama bear instinct (clearly inherited from her own mother) takes over:

"What's wrong kid? Are you hurt? Is there a burglar? Giant on the loose? Talk to me."

"Well you might want to come downstairs, and put some clothes on besides pajamas," Henry trails off before hopping out the door and down the stairs. Emma sits puzzled before changing and following her son down the stairs. There are men and women EVERYWHERE. Lights beam down at Emma as she walks downstairs, and she sees cameras and sound equipment being moved rapidly. A man looks relieved as he rushes over to her:

"Thank goodness! We need to film the breakfast scene in just a few," and giving her the once over, "and you definitely need some make up." He shoves her in the direction of a chair and Emma sits down with her head spinning, wondering what the hell is happening.

"Well your majesty to what do I owe the pleasure?" Rumple asks, raising his eyebrows as Regina scowls.

"You tell me! There are all these people following me with cameras, screaming for me to stick to the bloody script. It's as if…" the color begins to drain from Regina's face as it dawns on her. "As if we were all in some sort of television show. I thought I told you not to let those reality tv show freaks anywhere near here!" She is fuming and the imp cannot help but chuckle.

"Well your majesty, better get ready for your big debut!" he announces before whisking open the doors and flashes are everywhere as Regina blinks rapidly.

"Alright, rolling," the cameraman whispers, and all eyes are on Regina. She rolls her eyes before beginning to stomp out of the shop.

"OUT OF MY WAY FOOLS!" echo through the shop as the queen pushes through everyone. The cameraman raises his eyebrows before beginning to follow her.

"Wait we just need you one more time back in there. You just have to quickly kiss Gold in an intense moment.." the poor man trails off before a purple mushroom cloud is seen as far as the troll bridge; erupting from Regina's hands as she turns the man into a mouse.

"Nice touch with the cinnamon, however did you pick it?" Snow asks, giggling as she sips the warm drink. Charming can't help himself. Her laugh is what gets him every time. He hoists her around the waist laughing as she puts down her cup and he begins to kiss her wildly. But Charming is still understanding, and can see Snow is tired. So he settles for lying her down on the bed and simply laying with her. She smiles as he plays with the short ends of her hair, drinking her beautiful features in for himself. She brings her lips to his in a long kiss.

Suddenly, three heads peek over the other side of the bed, one with a large camera with the red 'record' light flashing.

"This is gonna be a great scene," the camera man whispers to his crew and they both nod. Charming breaks away and turns around to the men:

"Um what the hell are you doing here?"

"Filming scene 2. It's a small intimate moment between you two, so stop interrupting the film and keep going at it. This is some good stuff!"

It takes all of 5 seconds before all three of the men are thrown out on their asses, wondering what the hell they said wrong.

"Well Red, I am sorry that you have to work the night shift, but rules are rules!" Granny huffs, checking the cash register once again. Red rolls her eyes and continues to lean against the counter provocatively, winking at whose mouth hangs open. A woman with a camera appears beside Red, who gives a small shriek at being so startled.

"This is going quite well. We have the subject being ogled by Frankenstein. Quite an interesting take on the classic tales…" the woman is interrupted by a tapping on her shoulder. She whirls around and into the face of Granny who raises her cross bow.

"Do not bother my grand daughter while she is working. I strongly suggest you get out of here," the woman stares at the older woman wide eyed before packing up her stuff and leaving.

"Wait don't go! I can do something awesome!" Leroy appears out of nowhere, waving his arms at the woman as he follows her out the door. "The camera loves me!"

The next day, the entire crew is yelling at each other as they get into their cars and drive away from the town; terrified as a wall of purple smoke approaches them. Regina stands in the middle of the street, arms crossed, smiling devilishly as she waves good-bye to them. A black car however, passes the crew as they leave, and Regina smiles as they pull up to her.

"Ah yes Oprah, I was told you would be coming," Regina smiles at the famed woman who flashes her own smile and looks around at the town with wide eyes. Regina leans against the car as she smiles wickedly and says:

"Welcome to Storybrooke…"
