Emma walked over to her friends that were sitting on the benches. "Hey guys".

"Emma, what took you so long?" Jo-jo asked. "And why are your eyes red. Have you been crying?"

"What! No". Emma looked away from the girl and sat down she tried not to wince from the pain she felt. "Anyway, I am curious as to what you all want from me, so I can make up for that whole detention thing".

Jo-jo and Jordan smiled and Emma raised an eyebrow. "Emma, you have a car. That yellow bug is your isn't it. I saw it at the Diner yesterday, I have never seen a car like that before".

"Yeah, it's mine. My friend Neal got it for me as a birthday present 3 months ago".

"Really? That's so cool. We have never been out of Storybrooke, and I looked online and saw that there is a club right outside of Storybrooke, like 20 minutes away from the town line".

"Let me guess. I'm the one who's driving".

"Yes and partying. What better way to make friends in a new place besides partying?"

"Can we even get into this club?"

"Yes, not legally, but yes. Yes we can".

"Hmm, what the hell, we can go". Tyler, Jo-jo and Jordan all cheered.

"Tonight".

"Tonight?" Emma asked in disbelief.

"Yes, please Emma. We have never been outside of Storybrooke. Our parents would not let us go".

"Don't you have a curfew?"

"Yeah, but maybe we could say that we are spending the night at each other's house. Emma you tell your mom you are spending the night at my house, and I will tell my mom, I'm spending the night at your house. Tyler and Jordan will do the same".

"I have my own place". Emma said proudly.

"Even better Emma. We will all meet up at your house after detention is over. Let's all go home and pack for the club, and meet at Emma's house". Jo-jo said excitedly.

(After school)

Emma told her new friends that she would meet them in front of the school, and to tell Regina that she would be there soon, she just had to go and pick up her school uniform.

It didn't take her as long as she thought it would and she was able to meet up with her friends as they walked across the street to where Regina was standing.

"Well, I'm glad to see that you are all here on time for detention. I will only take an hour of your time". Regina informed the group of teens. "Come on everyone lets go". Regina motioned for everyone to get into her car.

"Where are we going? I thought detention would be at school". Emma asked.

"I'm sorry Emma, but does it matter where detention is located? Besides. Who is in charge here? I am. Get – In- The – Damn – Car".

"But I can't-"Emma started to protest. She did not want to leave her car she drove to school with.

"NOW. Or are you disobeying me again?"

"No ma'am". Emma answered, trying to keep as much attitude out of her voice as possible. Emma walked around the other side of Regina's car, and got into the passenger's side. The back seat was already full with her three friends.

A five minute drive to the Mayor's office, and everyone was out of the car and making their way into the big building. Inside Regina's office she started assigning tasks for everyone. She sent Tyler and Jordan off with the janitor. Jo-jo was sent to answer calls and record messages at the front desk downstairs, leaving Emma alone with Regina, once more. Emma hated being along with this woman. She never knew what to expect, but she knew she didn't want to be punished.

"Regina I-"Emma begin but was cut off.

"I'm sorry, but what did you just call me?" Regina asked with her hands on her hips.

"Madam Mayor?" Emma answered hoping she got it right.

"No".

"Miss Mills?"

"No, final chance".

"Aunt Regina".

"Good girl. It's what you refer to me as from now on, no matter where we are, unless I instruct otherwise. Now, Yes dear?"

"I just wanted to say I was sorry about what happened earlier today after school. I didn't mean to disobey you". Emma said with her head down, and eyes on the floor.

"Yes you did Emma. You're only apologizing because you are afraid that I will punish you for it. Isn't that right dear?"

"No I-"Emma begin but Regina was in her face one second later. This time she pushed her against the closed door of her office, and placed her hands around Emma's throat. Not enough to chock her, but enough to put fear into her heart, and keep her still. "Don't you dare lie to me".

Emma did not have to be told twice. "Okay yes. That's why I was apologizing, but you can't blame me for that. Why are you even doing this to me, I have done nothing to you".

"Because Emma. I am a queen. And a queen needs a pet, otherwise she become bored. And I was for so long, 17 long years, 17 years, 3 months and 4 days". Emma widened her eyes. "You're thinking that's exactly how old you are. Weird isn't it, but back to what I was saying, I was Bored. Repeating the same thing over and over again day after day. People here did the same thing, day after day. That is until you showed up. The clock tower even started working again".

"Please".

Regina let Emma's neck go as she backed up and walked around her desk and sat down. "There is a lot that you don't understand. Perhaps once you learn your place, and I gain your loyalty, I will tell you more. But for now, relax. I'm not punishing you for the incident after school. I'm going to let that slide". Regina did not want to scare the girl away. She wanted to make it so Emma would be afraid to leave her. It didn't matter if Emma tried to run now. She would find her, and bring her back where she belonged. She knew who Emma really was. Only two people are allowed to cross over that town line. The evil queen and the savior. No one else would be able to find storybrooke without either of their help, not even Rumple.

"I was just going to say that I didn't want to leave my car at school, because I drove there this morning".

"I'm taking you and your friends back to school after this is over. Now, come here and sit down. I want you to learn how to properly file my documents. Afterwards, I want to teach you how to fill out my paperwork, reply to the citizens emails, organize group meetings, and eventually lead them".

"That sounds like stuff that Um, the mayor does".

"It is, but I want to teach you how to be a leader".

"Why?"

"Because when you graduate high school you will become my deputy Mayor. I'm preparing you now, you will always work for me".

"But I want to go to college, and maybe do law enforcement".

"Dear, I didn't ask what you wanted to do. You do what I say. Haven't we been over this? Must you be reminded who is in charge here? If so, please take off the belt that is keeping your pants up, lower your pants and bend over my desk, if you don't want that then shut up and sit down like a good little girl".

Emma remanded quiet and sat next to Regina, who placed a stack of papers In front of Emma. "Now, I want all of these in alphabetical order by name. And do hurry up, otherwise I'm not going to allow you to go on the little trip you and your friends are planning".

Emma gasped. "How did you know?"
