Emma and Ruby were watching t.v in the living room of Emma and Mary Margaret's apartment,
"So let me get this straight," said Emma, "The Doctor is an alien that really likes humans, he it NOT a human. Right?"
Ruby chuckled, "yes, he's an alien. A Time Lord, to be more specific; he just happens to love the Earth and its inhabitants, so that's why he's so protective of them."
"I still don't get why he looks human and the other aliens don't. And don't laugh at me! This show is complicated!" Emma remarked while pouting slightly.
Ruby grinned, "It's okay Lemur, I didn't get it at first either." She pulled Emma closer to her and began peppering her face with kisses, trying to kiss her pout away. Emma finally gave in, stopped pouting, and began returning Ruby's kisses.

Regina sat in her car, waiting for the school children to leave the nun's building. As soon as she saw Miss Blanchard leave with the last of her students, she turned off her car, got out, and walked towards the building.
"Good afternoon Madam Mayor," greeted Mother Superior, "how are you today?"
"Delightful," said Regina in a perfectly proper and crisp voice, "and you?"
Mother Superior could tell from the mayor's extremely polite tone that she was in short supply of patience, and so she decided to just giver her what she'd come for.
"She's in the patio" she told the mayor
"Thank you, Mother Superior," answered Regina walking past her and towards the patio.
Azure was playing hopscotch in the patio, when she heard the sound of distant footsteps approaching.
"The mayor's coming," she told Sister Astrid.
Sister Astrid had been tasked with looking after the child when the nuns had first found her sitting on their porch steps with a little suitcase and a letter explaining why she was there.
"What makes you say that?" Astrid asked the little girl
"I hear her walking towards us"
Sister Astrid smiled, Azure had always had superb senses, but it still impressed her how easily the orphan could recognise someone just from their footsteps.
Regina finally reached the patio and saw Azure playing hopscotch. She smiled to herself; dangerous as the little one was, she was still pretty darn cute.
"Good afternoon Azure"
"Good afternoon Madam Mayor" said the girl turning around to face the woman who came to visit her on a regular basis. "Are you here to take a blood sample again?"
"I am. It won't take long, you know that."
Azure nodded and walked inside with Regina. They went into the living room where Regina had left her bag, and sat down on one of the couches.
"Now give me your arm please."
Azure rolled up the sleeve of her left arm, and extended it towards Regina. The mayor took out a small syringe, a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. She took Azure's arm, rubbed the alcohol on the underside of her elbow, and sticked the syringe in. She took a small sample of the girl's blood, took out the syringe, and put a Dora the Explorer bandaid on the tiny wound.
"All done," she said, "I will see you next week."
"Goodbye Madam Mayor" said Azure as she walked back to her abandoned game of hopscotch.

Red and Snow watched intently as Blue rocked on her tush, holding her feet.
"I'm telling you Snow, she's going to start crawling any second" said Red excitedly.
"Well, she certainly looks antsy and ready to start moving" replied Snow, looking at the baby she considered her niece.
"What exactly are you two doing standing there?" asked Granny as she walked in, carrying kindling for the fire place.
"We're waiting for Blue to start crawling" said Red without looking at her grandmother.
"Well, while you wait, do you mind giving me a hand taking this to the shed?"
At that moment Red and Snow turned around to face the older woman and realised that she had her hands full and looked like she needed help.
"Of course Granny, sorry." Red answered sheepishly.
She and Snow each took a part of the bundle of kindling from Granny, and started walking towards the shed. Red kept some of the kindling that she was carrying to use on the fireplace that night, and walked back to the house. Granny and Snow were almost at the door when they heard Red yelp in surprise and drop the kindling.
"RED?!" shouted Snow, as she and Granny ran the rest of the way to the cabin.
"Red, girl, what is it?"
"Ummm, Granny? Didn't you say I only started turning when I was thirteen?"
"What?" asked Granny confused.
At that moment Red moved to the side, and Granny and Snow saw a white wolf pup sitting in the middle of the living room, with its head cocked to one side and its tongue lolling out between its tiny teeth, looking at them keenly.
"Oh gods," whispered Snow, "that changes things a bit."
