A/N: Okay so not entirely sure where this is gonna go. It could be good or it could suck, so all input is highly appreciated. I am soooo sorry for the delay. I had a fit of doubts, and then an epiphany in that order.

Wooshing. What the hell is wooshing? I sniffed and tried to settle back into the pillowy comfort of Regina's breasts. I bumped Regina, "Regina, babe, wake up. What's rotting?"

She groaned, "Emma shtop poking me." She slapped my arm and tried to roll over.

"Regina." I shook her, "Did you make gingerbread or something?" Seriously it doesn't smell as much like gingerbread as stale gingerbread with a chaser of rotting leaves. "Can't you smell that?" The wooshing outside got louder

Regina giggled and waved her arms in the air, "Woosh."

I stared at the calm composed woman that was the mother of my child, and the sexiest thing on the planet. "...What are you doing?" The house reeks of something nasty, and she's… I have no idea what she's doing.

She laughed and shoved my shoulder rather harder than necessary, "Come on Emma, it's fun! Say it with me, Wooooosssshhhhh!" When I kept staring at her like the madwoman she is, Regina growled. "You know dear you really should get your daily values of wooshing in. If you don't you could suffer a serious deficiency. This is why Henry likes pizza so much. Because you let him get away with not being healthy." Regina frowned to herself, "Unhealthy? Or… Emma what IS that smell? It smells disgusting, get it out of here!" She shoved me from the bed and all hell broke loose outside.

Everyone in the dinner had stayed to the storm shelter in the basement despite know it wasn't a tornado. Instead of huddling together until it was over, they discussed their options. Snow slammed her fist down on the table, "We have to deal with this. There must be some way for us to stop people from just jumping from realm to realm!"

Leroy rolled his eyes, "We did have that! Until your stupid daughter came waltzing back in and she brought magic back to Storybrooke."

Ruby rolled her eyes, "Oh yeah because life was so much better when you were the town drunk. You spent more time in the jail than you did out of it."

"Better than the town slut." He shot back, "From what I've heard you haven't changed that reputation at all. Am I the only one who heard about you and Belle going at it like rabbits?"

Granny smacked the table, "We have all done things we regret, or don't regret this last week. Something tells me it has to do with this storm. How how about you all shut your pie holes unless you have something productive to say. Deal?" She looked around, and since no one was ready to pick a fight with the tough old woman, she nodded, "Great. Snow, what did you have in mind?"

Snow blanched, "Well I uh, I didn't have any particular ideas it was more of a general mission statement." Everyone at the table groaned. This whole make a plan with no details thing was starting to grate on everyone's nerves. Every once in a while they actually enjoyed someone like Regina stepping up and laying out a detailed agenda.

Katherine rolled her eyes, "Well I don't know about you all, but I'm going to go check on my friends. Unlike you all, I care that the mayor and our sheriff are out in the middle of that with no clue what's going on." She climbed up the ladder and opened the hatch just to stop and stare.

Leroy nudged her, "What's the hold up sister? What's going on up there?"

Katherine looked back down at the rest of the town gathered at the base of the ladder, "I don't know."

Out walking on main street was a woman clad from head to toe in white. Her hair was almost indistinguishable from her dress, and there was a glint in her eye that would be missed by most passersby. Whilst everyone else rushed to hide from the raging wind, this newcomer hummed a little tune and strolled towards Mifflin.
