Hello beautiful people, I hope you're all well. I've returned with a crack fic based on the night out our three favourite woman had during the show. Hope you all enjoy xoxo
Ladies night out.
"Gina you were right. We should've done this ages ago." Snow slurred, Picking up another tequila shot and downing it without hesitation. Regina however sat opposite her friend and scrunched her nose up at the nickname, That had been Roland's nickname for her and while she'd accepted that maybe Robin wasn't her happy ending it still stung.
But she couldn't complain, Tonight was for Emma and all three women knew there was no better way to get over a heartbreak than drinking tequila.
"You can't possibly be this wasted Snow, It's only your third." Regina pointed out teasingly, Apparently Snow White couldn't hold her drinks as well as she did her curses.
"Hey! I have a toddler and a sleeping curse, I need this." Snow stated through her giggles, Before taking a seat at the bar. The other two women followed behind, Taking their own seats.
"What?" Emma asked after a few moments of silence, Clocking on to Regina's stare.
"Just wondering what it'll take for you to open up." Regina didn't want to push, She knew Emma was feeling vulnerable but by personal experience she knew keeping feelings bottled up was a disaster waiting to happen.
"I'm open. Hook left and yeah it sucks."
"So how do you feel?" Regina pressed on, Hoping to get more of an answer.
"Like it sucks." The blonde deadpanned before taking a lengthy sip of her drink, Keeping her eyes anywhere but the former queen.
"Emma." Regina started slowly before licking her lips. "I know how you feel, But keeping things locked away won't do you any good. You can talk about it, That's why we're here." Regina rubbed the other woman's arm gently. They really had come far, Regina remembered the first time she saw Emma Swan and their ridiculous game of "Don't get mad. Get even". Back then if someone had told her she'd be sharing drinks with the sassy blonde she would've laughed.
"He ran. Not me, He's thrown everything we have away because he couldn't face his past. I could've forgiven him then. Now I'm not so sure." Living in Storybrooke Emma had learned a lot, Especially from Regina. The biggest lesson? Never be caught vulnerable. She could spill her guts to Regina without shedding tears.
"Hey!" Snow screamed, Making the two women jump at her sudden outburst. As she jumped up from her barstool she pointed at three men, Slowly walking towards them.
"They're leaving without paying." Emma for the most part stayed silent while Regina rolled her eyes.
"Do you ever stop tattling?" The Mayor asked throwing her hands into the air.
"You have a problem with us?" The huge man growled as he approached the petite brunnette, Snow scrunched her nose in disgust as she caught the familiar smell of rum.
"Yes. I. Do." Snow singsonged, Her fingers above her head mocking the mans Viking hat.
"Ok. Alright. Calm down." Emma shouted as she ran towards her Mother. For a small woman Snow was fast and lunged towards the man in her intoxicated state, Grabbing his knife swiftly she threw it, Hitting the bullseye of the dartboard across the room. Regina and Emma watched on in shock as Snow continued to speak.
"How about a Wager? Loser pays both tabs." She proposed, Watching the 3 men consider her deal. Before throwing yet another dagger towards the dartboard.
Snow seemed to have started a frenzy as all three men began throwing theirs, Hoping they could beat her.
"So." Regina started awkwardly
"Are you going to break this up?"
"Not in a million years." Emma deadpanned, If anything she thought Regina would be the one scoring them free drinks.
"I know you want me to open up but I'd rather be distracted and this." Emma laughed before continuing.
"Is one hell of a distraction."
Regina nodded her head in agreement as she watched Snow mock the men, The more they tried the worse their aim got and Snow was taking joy in the fact she wouldn't have to pay a penny.
"Since it's safe to assume they're paying. Would you like another drink Ms. Swan?" Regina asked as she approached the bar once more, Amusement shining in her eyes.
"Oh hell yes." Emma sighed as she watched her mother positively destroy the men's confidence with her stellar aim.

"Said I'm the first of a species that they call a real motherfucker." Snow rapped. Her hands thrown in the air as she did.
Regina and Emma tried to keep their laughter to a minimum as the three men cheered her on. After their ultimate defeat they'd decided to join the women for a few drinks and Emma welcomed them. The more the merrier she'd said. Regina was slightly worried that Emma had returned back to her shell but as soon as Snow started singing the two women couldn't contain themselves.
"Okayyy. I think that's enough mom." Emma made a grab for the woman's drink but Snow was again too fast. Grabbing the glass and drinking it fast. She swiped at her face with a smile as the men booed.
"Oh Emma. The party's just getting started. Right boys?" The small brunnette cheered on with the men.
"How good are you at pool?" Regina asked Emma.
"I'm okay. Why?" Emma had finished her drink and now sat watching her Mother's interaction with the men.
"Then let's play." Regina's tone sounded dangerous and there was no way she could pass up such an offer.
Snow clapped her hands giddily as they made their way into the corner of The Rabbit Hole towards the pool tables.
"Since Snow has made this a night of wagering I suggest we play a little game." Regina said nonchalantly as she set up the balls.
"What do you have in mind?" Emma asked her hesitantly. Yes they were friends but Regina had a slight wicked side, Especially when she was drunk.
"Loser runs naked down Maine street." Regina said simply, A positively evil smirk taking residence on her face. She knew she could win, Graham had perfected her technique and she was never one for second place.
"Oh hell no. Regina c'mon?" Emma tried to reason, She was not the best at pool and she knew Regina would whoop her ass and there was no way in hell she'd be running down main street naked.
"Fine shirtless." Regina suggested as she set the table up, Picking her cue expertly.
"You've gotta be kidding." Emma threw her hands up in defeat and chugged her drink as fast as she could. Snow sat beside the men a few inches from the pool table and watched the exchange between the two women with a smile on her face.
"I'm compromising." If you'd have asked Regina she'd deny it, But if you'd have asked Emma or Snow they would confirm that in that moment the all powerful Evil Queen sounded exactly like a petulant child.
"Ugh, Fine. Not like I have anything else to do."
Regina's eyes sparkled and a fire seemed to have taken root in her as she told the blonde
"You're on."

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Emma muttered as she pulled her shirt over her head, Feeling the cold night air whip at her chest.
"A bet is a bet." Regina told her. Swaying slightly from the amount of alcohol in her system.
"What about Henry?" Emma knew it was a sly card to deal but she was willing to try anything to get out of this bet.
"Don't try to weasel out of this Miss Swan. He's at home where he should be."
Regina paused slightly to gather her words before continuing.
"Now start running." The Brunnete flashed the saviour her best "Evil Queen" smirk and waited, tapping her heels against the pavement impatiently while Snow watched and giggled.
Emma took a moment to adjust to the cold air, Maine was known for it's beautiful weather and ice cold nights. She just hoped she wouldn't catch pneumonia.
"A bet is a bet." She whispered to herself before she took off, Running as fast as she could down main street in an attempt to keep her humiliation to a minimum.
However luck and sobriety were apparently not on her side as her legs buckled beneath her and she face planted the pavement next to Granny's.
She heard the giggles of the two women behind her as she lay motionless on the floor, Her body completley failing her.
"Emma. Are you okay..." Snow slurred, crouching beside her Daughter to offer her a hand, Regina towered above both women. Returning Emma's shirt when the Blonde finally decided to stand up.
"Why did I agree to this." Emma whined, Trying and failing to put her shirt back on. Regina covered her snickers with the back of her hand when Emma found her head stuck in the sleeve hole.
"Nobody forced you. You didn't have to play pool and fail so atrociously." Regina teased. Gripping Emma's arm gently to help steady herself and the other women.
The three of them walked back to Snow's studio apartment slowly, Laughing and joking as they did.
"You really do have an evil streak don't you Madame mayor?" Emma teased as she practically hung from the women's arms, Her legs apparently hadn't adjusted and where still asleep. She made a mental note to NEVER make a bet with Regina Mills under the influence of alcohol.
"I save it for the both of you." Regina continued on nonchalantly as they reached the steps leading up to Snow's apartment.
Snow was the first to stumble up the steps, Making unbelievably quick work considering how much she'd had to drink and Emma took the opportunity to have a private chat with Regina without her Mother chiming in.
"Thank you Regina. I know we haven't always seen eye to eye but tonight was really great. I know I'm gonna wake up tomorrow with a hell of a bruise but despite that is had a good time." Emma told the brunnette honestly, She was grateful that she'd found a friend in the older woman, They may have had their differences and sometimes she hated to admit it but Regina always had her back.
"You're welcome Emma." Regina replied quietly, Offering the woman a small smile before parting ways.
The silence was broken by a womanly screech from the top of the staircase.
"EMMA ARE YOU COMING?"
