A/N: So here's the next chapter. It's an idea that's been in my head for a while so I got it out really quickly (sorry for any mistakes!). What if Regina found out that she had a whole army of fans? I think she could do with that confidence boost personally. So that's exactly what happens when her and Emma find themselves in our world. I may eventually expand this one if there's any interest.
Chapter 2: In Our World.
Regina took in her new surroundings, wondering where they'd ended up this time. They seemed to be in a rather large city.
Luckily they'd appeared down a deserted side street so no one had witnessed the blatant display of magic it took to get them there. They couldn't risk anyone seeing that until they knew where they were.
Her hand reached out behind her in search of Emma but came up empty. A groan from below drew her attention downwards until she was met with the sight of the blonde sprawled on the floor.
Emma jumped to her feet and brushed the dirt from her jeans. "How the hell did you manage to land on your feet?"
"Practice dear," Regina responded with a smirk, "that and my natural poise and elegance."
She watched as Emma looked around them. "This looks a lot like New York you know. Maybe we got lucky and didn't end up in another world this time?"
"When has your magic ever been that kind to us?"
Regina had been teaching Emma magic for the past few weeks. Their current lesson was teleportation. Although he Sheriff was naturally gifted she got distracted easily and when she did things tended to go… unexpectedly. This wasn't the first time an attempt to magically move around town had caused them to end up in an entirely different world. "What distracted you this time?"
Emma looked down at her feet, her boot digging into the ground. "It's not my fault. You look really good in that skirt."
A grin spread across Regina's face as she smoothed any non-existent creases from her figure hugging pencil skirt. "I suppose that's a preferable excuse to you being hungry."
"Well, I wouldn't say no to something to eat now you mention it."
The brunette rolled her eyes dramatically. She'd never understand how Emma stayed so fit and toned when all she did was eat. Now that was a superpower to be proud of.
"Fine. We'll find something before I take us back. When in Rome…"
"…eat lots of Italian food?" Emma finished for her.
"Something like that. Come on."
Emma grabbed her hand enthusiastically and practically bounced out to the main street, looking for the nearest restaurant. "I wonder if they have MacDonalds here. Have you ever had a Happy Meal Regina?"
"No I can't say I've had the pleasure." She responded sarcastically.
Before Emma could come up with a retort, the pair were interrupted by a nearly hysterical girl.
"Ohmygod! Ohmygod! Lana I can't believe it's you! And ohmygod ohmygod you're out with Jen! I knew Swan Queen was endgame!" She quickly whipped out her phone and took a photo before running off squealing.
"What the hell is Swan Queen?" asked Emma absent-mindedly, her eyes still roaming for somewhere interesting to eat.
"I'm sure I have no idea. Nor do I know who Lana and Jen are."
Emma shrugged and began pulling Regina down the street once more. After a few minutes, they had a similar encounter.
"Lana! Jennifer! Can I get a photo with you both please? I'm like the biggest Evil Regal ever! I can't believe I'm meeting you both!"
"Look, you clearly have us mixed up with someone else. I'm Regina not Lana. And this is Emma."
The girl in front of them just laughed. "Okay I'll play along Regina." She gave both women a wink. "What are you doing in New York then? Is Henry with you?"
Emma and Regina looked at each other with matching frantic expressions. Emma spoke first. "How do you know about Henry? I'll know if you're lying so you'd better tell me the truth. "
This only seemed to delight the girl even more. "Well duh! I'm a huge fan! I know everything about you guys! I'm part of the Evil Regal Army!
"Hold up, the what?" asked the blonde.
"The Evil Regal Army! Y'know… an army of fans who are completely in love with Regina. We think she's the greatest! And definitely not evil. If only people just took the time to understand her instead of assuming the worst."
Regina looked stunned for a moment. "There's an army of people that think that?"
"You bet! Can I get that photo now?"
"Umm… okay?"
Emma and Regina stood on either side of the girl and smiled while she took the photo.
"Thanks so much you two! Bye!"
Regina watched her melt back into the crowd and disappear from view.
"Did you hear that Emma? I have an army! And they all actually love me!"
Emma wrapped her arms around the brunette and gave her a chaste peck on the cheek. "Of course they do! How could anyone not?"
"Can we find them and take them back to Storybrooke? Can you imagine? My very own army!"
Emma placed another kiss on the end of her nose. "No we are not getting an army. Now how about that food?"
