The One With The Old Boyfriends Ritual
Where Emma and Snow try to help Regina getting over Robin.
Regina is sitting at Granny's with a cup of coffee in front of her. The coffee has gone cold a long time ago and now she is just stirring it with her spoon. She is staring into space, a frown on her face, trying very hard not to think of a certain person. The bell of the diner can be heard, signaling people coming in. Regina, however, doesn't hear a thing. When two people flop down into the booth in front of her, she startles.
'What's with the frown?' The blonde in front of her asks. The brunette besides her, on the other hand, has an earnest look on her face while looking at Regina. Regina really isn't up for this heart to heart and the pitying looks from Snow.
'That's none of your business, miss Swan.' Regina responds briskly.
Emma looks shocked, surprised by the sudden outburst. 'Miss Swan?', she huffs, 'Are we back to this crap again?' Eyeing the storm on Regina's face, she adds quickly: 'Will you please tell us what's wrong?'
'Emma is right, Regina.' Snow finally piped up too. 'It's not healthy to bottle up your feelings.'
Regina let out a short huff, packed her bag and stood up. She threw a few dollars on the table for the coffee and before Emma or Snow could say anything else, she left the diner.
Regina walked out of the diner, grumbling. Since she redeemed herself, she finally could somewhat get along with the Charmings and their Savior, but that didn't mean she would invite the ladies over to tell each other their secrets and braid each other hair. 'Regina, wait!' She heard Snow call out behind her. She really wasn't in the mood for this, not after all that had happened with Robin and Marian. True, it was a month ago and she and Emma had buried the hatchet. After she saw how happy Roland was, she couldn't deny that this was maybe the best. Villains don't deserve happy ending after all. With a sigh, she came to a halt and waited for Emma and Snow to catch up with her.
'Regina, will you please tell us what's wrong? We don't want to pry, but we also don't want to see you hurt.' Snow said seriously.
Regina finally snapped. 'Fine! You want to know why I am upset? I am upset, because today is Valentine's Day and I was supposed to spend it with Robin, but since his back-to-the-future-bride is back, I will be alone! Again!' She seethed.
Snow and Emma looked at her with pained faces. 'I still am really sorry, Regina.' Emma whispered. Regina looked at her and saw the guilt on her face. Of course she knew Emma was sorry, that didn't make it any less painful though.
Snow finally broke the awkward silence. 'Well, maybe we could make a girls night out of Valentine's Day, to help you forget Robin.' Snow proposed. 'David and I couldn't find a babysitter, so we weren't planning on doing anything special anyway. I'm sure he can handle it on his own.' Regina wasn't convinced. This was exactly the thing she didn't want to do. Talk about rainbows and unicorns with her stepdaughter. However, she really could use some distraction. Before she had made a decision, Emma called out: 'Yeah! Ruby once told me, if you want to break the bad boyfriend cycle, you can do like a cleansing ritual!'
Regina snorted. 'Emma, this woman ate her last boyfriend.'
Snow and Emma could both see the smile that was tugging at Regina's lips though. So Snow chanted: 'I'll bring the alcohol!' followed by Emma cheering: 'I'll bring all of Walsh' stuff to burn!' Regina couldn't help but smile now. 'Fine, I will come to your apartment at eight.'
While Snow and Emma walked off, discussing where they would dump Charming, baby Neal and Hook, Regina walked home. Maybe this day wouldn't be so bad after all.
'Sooo, Ruby told me the first step is throwing in some sage and sacramental wine…' Emma told the two women in front of her with a grin on her face. Snow opened her mouth to say something, but decided to keep all jokes inside and walked towards her cupboard.
After a few minutes of rummaging, Snow came back with a few items in her hands, saying: 'All I could find is oregano and Fresca.'
'It will have to do!' Emma smiled, throwing in the ingredients. 'Well, the rest is a bit…vague… and we don't have semen, so… I guess now is the time to start throwing in stuff of old boyfriends!' Regina and Snow cast each other a confused look, but Emma was already throwing stuff into the fire. Emma just threw a dried rose into the bin they used to contain the fire when Snow asked: 'How did you even end up with Walsh?'
Emma shrugged. 'I don't know. I think I'm some kind of flying monkey magnet. Or ogre magnet. Or just any mythical creature for that matter.'
Snow laughed, while Regina snorted. 'Don't you want to throw anything in Regina?' Snow asked while throwing in the receipt of her drink with Dr. Whale. 'I-
Before she could finish, she saw Emma throwing in some rum, causing a burst of flame to shoot out of the bin. The women all screeched and Snow quickly took the fire extinguisher.
When Snow finally put down the red bus, all the ladies where covered in white foam.
'Well, at least now we can pretend it is Christmas!' Emma simpered.
