A/N- Emma's Writing, Regina's Writing
Prompt: Pranks
Pranks Are Her Love Language-
It was just past noon according to the clock that sat snug between a stapler and pen holder on the mayor's desk when Regina put down her pen for the first time all morning. The mayor let out a sigh and flexed her aching hand as she let the black ink filled office tool fall onto the paper in front of her. Leaning her head back for a moment she closed her eyes which were sore from reading and decided to take as short break. "Coffee, that's what I need." She mumbled to herself and stood up from her desk, grabbing her coat on her way to the door.
As the mayor exited town hall she slid her coat onto her being and walked at a swift pace towards the diner. Her taste buds ached for the strong taste of coffee causing her steps to become a bit more hurried so that soon enough Regina was opening the door to the eatery. The dark haired woman was in and out of the diner within mere minutes having greeted Granny and paid for her coffee that the old woman had already made for her yet again proving how well she knew the mayors schedule. As Regina sipped her coffee and walked back into her office she mentally groaned at the thought of doing any more paper work. It was only when she sat down at her desk, placing her coffee in front of her and picking up her pen, that she noticed the writing on the blank page in front of her. Her brow furrowed in confusion at first as she read the message that covered the paper.
Regina? Regina? Regina? Regina? Regina? Regina? Regina? REGINA? REGINA? REGINA? REGINA? REGINA? REGINA? REGINA? REGINA?! REGINA!? R-E-G-I-N-A!
The queen's eyes traveled to the bottom of the page where she watched as her name continued to appear in a handwriting that could very well belong to a child. Rolling her eyes she sighed as she recognized the script with great ease after having read one too many almost undecipherable sheriffs' reports written with the same penmanship. Picking up her own pen Regina brought it down upon the paper and in the penmanship of a queen wrote,
Yes Miss Swan?
Almost instantly a reply was scribbled upon the page.
HI!
Rolling her golden brown eyes the queen chuckled and wrote back a simple,
Is there a exact reason why you have decided to use this specific form of communication?
A few heartbeats when by and then the reply came.
Because I'm Tom Marvolo Riddle and you're Harry Potter?
Again a chuckle escaped the queen as she wrote back,
Is that a question or an excuse?
There was a slight pause.
Neither…errr…both?
Miss Swan I do have work that needs my attention.
Regina wrote in reply and shook her head in amusement at the childish response.
But Regina I'm BORED!
Well than find a way to entertain yourself dear.
I did, I'm talking with you.
The dark one replied causing Regina to sigh.
I have to work so you'll have to find some other form of entertainment.
The mayor replied knowing that she had to get to work or she would be paying for it the next day and the day after as more papers piled up.
BUT REGINA!
No dear, I cannot be your play thing today.
:'(
Your tears have no effect on me.
I might be the dark one, but you're just pure evil.
That's why it's in my name dear. Now run along.
Fine! I'll find a new way to entertain myself!
Have fun.
I plan on it. ;D
Regina read over the last reply from the former savior and a feeling of unease formed in her gut. She knew Emma well and after everything the two of them had been through together she knew that the younger woman was more than likely to not let her go so easily. She hoped for Emma's sake that she would be allowed to finish her work undisturbed but in the back of her mind she just knew that there was no way she would be getting anything done from that moment forward.
Nearly fifteen minutes passed undisturbed and Regina had her nose buried in a report from the sanitation department when suddenly she reached for her pen to sign off on the bottom of the paper. The moment she began to write her signature she felt a tingling sensation on her forehead. Dropping the pen instantly she raced over to the mirror on the wall and looked at her reflection, gasping in horror at her own signature scribbled upon her forehead in black ink. "No!" She panicked and began to rub at it and magic it off but nothing seemed to work. Racing into her private bathroom she turned on the water and shoved her hand under the faucet. Almost at once she felt a bubbly sensation all throughout her body and screamed in surprise as she suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud. Pushing her upper half off the floor she tried to stand up but was only greeted with the feeling of her lower half not budging. Turning to look at her legs the mayor screamed as her eyes were met with a black and purple fish tail. Looking over the rest of herself she registered that her work clothes were completely gone and had been replaced with what looked like a black seashell and silver pearl bikini top. "EMMA!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. "EMMA SWAN GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW!" She commanded and turned over so that she could lean against the wall rather than have to hold herself up.
There was a puff of dark smoke in the door way of the bathroom that when it cleared held the form of new dark one. The instant Emma saw Regina her red lips parted in a wide smile and she began to laugh. "I cannot believe that worked!" She gasped between laughs. "And the pen on the forehead worked too!" She laughed as she leaned against the door frame to keep from doubling over.
"I AM A FISH MISS SWAN! CHANGE ME BACK THIS INSTANT!" Regina yelled at her, her black and purple tail flapping in irritation.
"But you're so hot." Emma pointed out as if it helped her case.
"I HAVE SEASHELLS WHERE MY BRA SHOULD BE!" The queen roared her eyes blazing.
Emma shrugged and continued to giggle, "Hey, they work for you." She said with a nod of approval.
Regina seethed for a moment before she narrowed her eyes and let a smile make its way across her face. "Well Miss Swan, if this is the game you wish to play than I shall not let you be the only player." She purred.
Hearing the tone of Regina's voice the smile fell from the dark one's face and she immediately began to regret her choice of pranks. "Uh oh." She uttered and saw the evil glint in the mermaid queen's eyes.
"Uh oh indeed Miss Swan." Regina replied and suddenly waved her hand sending a ball of magic at Emma.
The former savior tried to vanish before the magic hit her but was a heartbeat too late. She felt fine for several seconds and began to think nothing would happen but that hope was quickly washed away when she felt a sudden down poor of water over her head. Looking up she blinked gasped as she saw a miniature cumulonimbus cloud formed above her head. "Just a little rain." She smirked at the queen. "Is that the best you've got?"
Regina smiled at her and Emma realized there was more to come. "Oh no dear, I'm just getting started." The queen replied.
Suddenly Emma felt a small shock hit her head and looked up to see lightning shooting down from the clouds and hitting her. The electric force was not excruciating but more like constantly being zapped with static electricity. "Ow! Ow!" Emma yelped as little pellets of hail began to fall with the rain, each ball of ice bouncing off her head harmlessly. "Hey! Quit it!" The dark one gasped as miniature twisters began pulling at her white hair.
"Quit what dear? All I'm doing is having a bit of fun." Regina stated with fake innocence. The queen smirked as a bolt of lightning struck the dark one's leather covered bottom causing Emma to jump three feet into the air with a yelp.
"This isn't over Regina!" Emma shouted over the roar of a miniature twisted beside her ear.
"Far from it!" Regina replied as she flapped her tail against the bathroom floor.
Emma shot Regina a promising smirk before waving her hands and once again being enveloped by a cloud of dark smoke that took the magical storm with her as she went. Being left alone on the bathroom floor Regina's mind began to race with strategies on how to defeat the new dark one in this war of pranks that she was now a major player in. After close to an hour of waiting on the bathroom floor Regina sighed in relief as the mermaid tail vanished and she was once again fully human and fully dressed. Standing up she checked her reflection to ensure her forehead was clear of ink and once she was satisfied that it was she strutted out of the bathroom with a determined smirk pulling at her lips. Grabbing her coat she made her way out of the office. As she walked by her secretary she said, "Ashley I'm heading out for the rest of the day, cancel any meetings and take the rest of the day off." She didn't bother waiting for a response but instead kept walking.
As she exited the building and made her way towards her black Lincoln she pulled her keys out of her purse and gasped in surprise as the small object turned into a silver and black snake that coiled itself in her hand. Throwing the snake to the ground she heard the familiar clink of metal on concrete as the snake transformed back into her car keys. Bending over she picked the silver keys up again with caution and was glad to find that they remained keys in her hand.
A hint of movement caught her eye as she rose from retrieving her keys. Regina knew not to turn fully towards it but she could tell out of the corner of her eye that it was Emma chuckling up in a tree. With a blink she smirked and started walking away.
Emma watched the queen strut towards her car after checking her keys had not changed again and could barely hold back the silent laughter. Her white hair was still wet from the miniature hurricane that had been roaring over her head for about an hour and she was as well hidden as could be up in a tree with a perfect view of her prey, so with a shrug she let a few chuckles escape her lips. As she watched Regina walk away she smirked and bent her knees to leap down from the tree. Only when she pushed herself forwards her feet stuck to the bark as if glued in place. "WHOA!" She cried out as she fell face first her feet keeping her dangling from the branch as blood rushed to her head.
The rest of the day continued in much the same way. Emma magiced Regina's car into the same shade of yellow as her beloved bug. Regina jinxed a doorway so that when Emma went through it she started to drool uncontrollably for thirty minutes. Emma put a spell on Regina's coffee that made the queens fair skin turn purple. Regina cursed Emma into continuous sneezing fits that were so powerful they made her fly backwards every time. For hours this prank battle roared on until finally Regina decided she had had enough. "Emma." She called out to the dark one knowing that she was listening.
There was a poof of dark magic and suddenly Emma was standing in front of Regina with a smirk painted upon her bright red lips. "Yes your majesty?" She asked.
Regina rolled her eyes at the former savior and sighed, "I need to head to bed now and I would like to sleep peacefully." She then took up a sterner voice. "You've had your fun now let's agree to a truce. Alright?"
Emma looked into Regina's whiskey brown eyes with her pine green gaze and knew that the mayor was serious. With a sigh she slumped her shoulders and mumbled, "Fine, truce." She then smiled at Regina and added, "But hey at least we had some fun."
Regina let a smile spread upon her lips and nodded in agreement. "Though I hate to admit it, yes we did." Holding out her hand she added, "But it's over now, agreed?"
"Yeah, agreed." Emma replied and shook Regina's hand to seal the deal. Her eyes widened however when she felt the zap of magic coming from Regina. "HEY!" She gasped and looked up to see a smirk on Regina's face and the classic Evil Queen glint in her eye. Suddenly Emma felt herself being transported away in a cloud of Regina's magic. When the smoke cleared she looked around and found herself up in the top of a tree in the middle of the forest. Looking down at her own body she felt like something was off and her suspicions were confirmed the moment she saw webbed feet and a beaver tail over the length of her new duck bill. Looking down at the forest floor far below Emma the platypus sighed and shook her head. "Well played Regina." She murmured to herself. "Well played."
