Emma was so lost daydreaming that she didn´t hear the bell, meaning class was over. Her thoughts were interrupted by Kathryn and a leggy brunette by the name of Ruby.
"Hey,Swan! We were heading to Chipotle for lunch. Wanna join us?" Ruby Grinned.
"Sure, if you are buying! I´m kinda broke at the moment." Emma Laughed light heartedly.
"No problem! Kathryn´s buying! I´m mean her last name isn´t Midas for nothing!" Ruby replied eagerly earning her playful swat to the shoulder from her friend.
"Are you sure, Kathryn?" "Of course, this one is on me!" answered Kathryn.
The girls were waiting for their food when Freddie (Kathryn´s boyfriend) , Regina and Robin joined them.
"Hey,babe! I made good time, only ten minutes!" Freddie said and gave Kathryn a peck on the Cheek. "Freddie almost killed us! He ran seven red lights!" Regina complained.
"I was hungry and our lunch break is only forty-five minutes!" Freddie responded with his mouth full of an everything-burrito. "Nice, Fredrick! This is Emma Swan by the way." Kathryn said. "You are the girl that made Owens blue?!" "Yeah, that would be me." Emma answered, turning slightly red in the face.
The gang continued to tease and praise Emma for her "heroic act". Robin took this opportunity to have a talk with Regina in the hall leading towards the bathrooms. "Regina, I swear it was a mistake! It was one kiss that´s it. I have even cut all contact with Marian." Robin pleaded. Regina wasn´t buying it, but let him continue. "Regina, the first time I saw you I knew, you were way too good for me. You were the girl I would do anything to impress. You´re the one. You´re my one." Robin sighed and grazed Regina´s cheek with his hand. Inched his face closer to hers, ever so slowly. Just seconds before their lips met, Emma waltzed down the hallway yelling "Hey, Robin! Some Marian has been calling you non-stop! It super annoying!" Emma had no idea what she walked into. Regina clenched her teeth, her eyes shot daggers at Emma and Robin. Her posture stiffened. The air felt electric. Robin was holding her hands and saying something inaudible. A strange tingling sensation had started in Regina´s palms, like being pricked by a needle. The sensation ran all the way down to her fingers.
"Guys, do you smell... smoke?" Emma asked while looking around to find that a small plant next to Regina had caught fire. The flames were licking the wall and spreading fast. Robin tried to make Regina move but she wouldn't budge! Luckily the extinguisher wasn´t to far from Emma, she took it and put out the fire. Only then did Regina stagger forward. Confused and furious Regina stormed out. Leaving Robin with his still ringing phone and Emma with the extinguisher.
