Here's the next part where we get to see Regina and the Blue Fairy have a lovely little chat.
I don't own OUAT or anything associated with it.
Reviews always welcome :)

"You know, it's really hot when you do that," Emma said, as the last few tendrils of purple smoke were dissipating around them.
"Yes," Regina replied, primly stepping up to the massive doors of the convent and giving a series of sharp raps. "Why do you think I do it so much around you?"
"Oh really now?" the blonde said, sauntering up to the other woman. "And what else do you do around me?"
Realising what she'd got herself into, Regina frowned slightly but then just rolled her eyes at the cheeky grin on the sheriff's face.
"Well magic of course," she said. "Whether it's the little things or the big, I do them to impress you."
"Well, what's more sexy than a gorgeous woman who can move stuff with a flick of her wrist? And don't even get me started on those fireballs." Emma was moving closer to the brunette now and her voice was becoming husky, "what else?"
"A little sway of the hips," Regina said, taking a small step towards the other woman. "A skirt that's just a little tight."
Emma had to try and refrain from letting out a moan. Instead she took another step closer.
"Those silk shirts," she whispered. One more step.
They were practically breathing in each other's air now.
"With one extra button undone just for you," the brunette practically purred.
They were inches away now, and leaning in. Emma's hand went to Regina's waist, gently bringing their bodies closer together.
"Ah, Madam Mayor," came a very chirpy voice and the two woman sprung apart, Regina barely suppressing a growl. "And Sheriff Swan. What can we do for you today?"
"Hello, Nova," Emma said and cleared her throat awkwardly. "How are you?"
"I'm great," the perky fairy replied. She then giggled and leaned forward conspiratorially. "Don't tell Blue, but I'm going into town this evening for a date with Leroy."
"Oh, good for you," Emma grinned. She was still getting over her shock at the sudden interruption, but she couldn't help but be happy for the fairy and her love. "Where are you going to go?"
"I don't know," Nova almost squealed in excitement. "He said it's got to be a surprise."
"That's so sweet," the blonde said.
"Emma," Regina cut in. She got the feeling that if she didn't stop them they'd go on for the next hour at least and they needed to get going.
"Yes?" Emma replied, turning to face the Mayor. Regina just raised an eyebrow and looked expectantly at her.
"Oh yea," the blonde said, hit with realisation. She turned back towards the fairy. "Sorry, Nova, we're actually in a bit of a rush. Is Blue about? We need to talk to her about what's being going on around town."
"Of course," Nova smiled. "She's just down in her office. Do you know where that is, or do you want me to take you there?"
Emma was about to invite the fairy along but Regina beat her to it.
"No, thank you Nova," the brunette smiled warmly, "we know where we're going."
"Okay then," the fairy replied, still smiling. She stepped aside and the two women walked into the convent.
"I hope you two have a wonderful evening Nova," Regina said, still smiling, as they stepped passed.
Both the fairy and the sheriff looked in shock at the mayor's retreating form as she made her way down the corridor. They turned to look at each other and shrugged.
"Emma, are you coming, or are you just going to stay there staring at me all day?" Regina called back over her shoulder.
The blonde shook herself out of her shock, gave a quick smile to the fairy and hurried off after the brunette.
Several corridors, flights of stairs and twists and turns later, Regina and Emma stood outside the Blue Fairy's office.
Once again it was Regina who knocked. Emma, for her part, was just marvelling that they hadn't gotten lost. How on earth was anyone supposed to find their way around this place? And how could such a complex structure fit into such a regular looking, and come to think of it not very large, building?
She didn't have time to voice her questions however as the door to the office was just then opened to reveal Blue in all her pinched, straight backed glory.
"Blue," Regina said blankly.
"Your Majesty," the fairy replies.
"No one calls me that anymore," the brunette stated, her voice icy.
"You don't like it?" Blue asks. She raises an eyebrow in question, but both Emma and Regina could see through the fake innocent gesture.
"No I do not," Regina replied through gritted teeth. "I never did, and you know that."
"Yes I do," the fairy admitted, "I just like to bring that up. I know how much it hurts you."
The Mayor was only stopped from throttling the other woman by the gently placed hand of the saviour on her shoulder. Emma herself, was trying hard not to send a few well thrown punches into the fairy's face.
But none of this was going to help them get any of the answers that they needed.
"Look Blue," Emma said, anger evident in her voice. "We don't want to be here anymore than you want us here, so just answer our questions and we'll be on our way."
"Do I have any choice?" the fairy asked.
"No," Emma replied.
"Fine," Blue said, rolling her eyes. "What could I possibly help the sainted saviour and our marvellous mayor with?"
"Firstly, everyone in town is being forced to tell the truth. Why? We know it's extremely powerful light magic and, while I do have the magic, I have no motive to do this, and quite frankly I doubt that I have the skill to either." Emma started.
"It is simple," the Blue Fairy replied, and then huffed at the blank looks on both of her visitors' faces. "Last night there was a shooting star over the town, someone made a wish for everyone to tell the truth. That wish was granted."
"Why would someone wish that?" Emma asked, at the same time that Regina angrily asked, "why would you grant a wish like that?"
"I don't know why someone would wish that, perhaps they were trying to create chaos, or perhaps they were simply fed up with people always lying to them," Blue said to Emma. She then turned slowly towards Regina, "and as for your question, Madam Mayor, in this instance we didn't have a choice. As you well know, magic is different here and somehow, the combination of the shooting star and the strength of the emotion behind the wish meant that we were essentially forced to grant it."
The two women thought about this for a moment.
"So," Emma started, looking expectantly at the fairy, "who made the wish?"
"I can't say," Blue replied, shuffling slightly.
"Can't, or won't?" Regina asked, a clear note of a threat in her voice.
"Can't," the fairy said.
They knew she was telling the truth, but Emma could sense that there was something off.
"What aren't you telling us?"
"Quick a lot sheriff," Blue replied. "However, with regards to the wish only the reason why I can't tell you who made it."
"And why is it that you can't tell us exactly?" Regina asked, folding her arms and waiting.
"Well," Blue started, pausing briefly as if really not wanting to say what she was about to. "It's because I don't know."
"What?" the Mayor laughed. "How could you not know?"
"I just don't, okay?" the Blue fairy replied, now getting flustered. "All I know is that there was a very intense magical power surge last night. It took from all of us here at the convent as well as depleting our dust supply. It was definitely a wish, I can feel it, but we have no idea where, or who, it came from. I have also asked around the fairies and none of us seems to have granted the wish. I think that it may come back to the magic being different here and so the presence of the fairies makes the wish happen rather than one fairy granting a wish. But, like I said, I don't know."
"Well, that is certainly a lot of 'I don't know's there Blue," Regina piped up, smirking, "how does that feel?"
"I hate it," Blue growled, to which the Mayor couldn't help but laugh.
"Regina," Emma scolded gently, but the brunette just chuckled.
"What about the life of a nun? How's that working out for you?" Regina prodded at the fairy.
"For someone as powerful as me? It's demeaning and just as bad as being a normal fairy. Forced to be good all the time, never allowed to enjoy life or have fun. Why do you think I made sure that Nova and that dwarf never ran away together? Our only purpose is to make sure that things keep going the way they're meant to. We don't get love. We don't get fun. And if I can't have either, the most powerful of all the fairies, then why the hell should she have it? In fact, why should anyone have it?"
"Regina," Emma said again, feeling a fight about to break out, but the Mayor wasn't having any of it.
"Oh come on Emma," Regina said. Once she'd finished laughing, a sneer made its way across her face. "This little firefly's been lording over me my entire life. I made a wish when I was younger which would have been granted if she hadn't ordered for it not to be. She could have given me an out, but no. She had to make sure that I had a miserable life, married to an old man and forced to wear a crown I never wanted. I think I deserve to laugh at her, even just for a little bit. Besides, you heard her yourself, she denied others their happiness just because she couldn't have any of her own. She's a bitter old woman who pretends to care about people but all the while is just manipulating them so that they can be as miserable as her."
At that the Blue Fairy lunged at the brunette mayor.
An altercation was only prevented by Emma who flung out an arm creating a magical barrier which encased the angry fairy.
"Very impressive," Regina mussed, taking in the flailing nun who was yelling, what the Mayor could only surmise to be a raft of rather colourful language as the barrier was also blocking out sound. She turned to her side to see the blonde staring in amazement at the barrier, then at her hand, and then back at the barrier.
"Yes dear, that was you," she chuckled, shaking her head. She then held out a hand to the wide eyed sheriff. "Shall we?"
Without a word Emma took the offered hand and the two disappeared in a swirl of purple smoke, leaving a furious Mother Superior cussing and waving her arms frantically in the middle of her office.
So, what do you think? It got a little bit heavy towards the end, but I figured Regina deserved to say her piece to Blue.
Next bit hopefully up soon. :) until then x
