A couple weeks have gone by and everything had slowly started going back to normal. Amara had been helping out Emma at the sheriff's station but she had to be returning to the bar soon. She was thankful that Tim had helped out as much as possible. She had been going to see Archie for about a week. But she came to the conclusion that everything that she had been thinking had just been in her head. Since the night Graham died she had not had a single dream about past lives. She figured it was for the best since Joseph kept insisting that everything was just in her head. Yes she continued to tell Joseph everything and he was very supportive but he also made sure to inform her that it wasn't real. So now as she heads to the bar to try to help Tim with opening she gets a call from Emma. "Hey Emma is everything OK?" She asked once she picked up. "The bitch fired me. I'm drinking wanna join?" She laughed lightly. "Yea sure I could use a drink I'll be there in a few. I'll even bring a bottle of my own." She tells her before hanging up. She heads to the back of the bar and uses the back door. Luckily Tim is out front and doesn't see her grab a bottle from the shelf. Even though she owns the place she'll get a lecture from him about taking what could help the bar. She quickly sneaks back out the back and rushes down the street towards Emma's. Once she got there she noticed Emma had loud music blaring. "Hey!" She shouts over the music." I brought a gift." She laughs holding up the bottle.

A few hours later they were sitting around drunk with the music still blaring loudly. Amara was sitting at the counter watching Emma as she was intensely trying to fix the toaster. Amara heard a noise and she very clumsy turned around as Mary Margaret was walking through the door. Emma was too focused on the toaster to notice. "Hey! Mary Margaret!" Amara exclaimed jumping from the stool to stand in front of her. Mary Margaret stood there with shock. "Hey?" She asked half confused half worried about her friends drinking in the middle of the day. She went over to the speaker and shut it off. That got Emma's attention. She looked up and seen Mary Margaret looking at her. "Is the toaster broken?" She asked taking off her jacket. "If it isn't it is now." She said still trying to fix it. "I just needed to hit something." She said finally decided to give up on it and sat it down. "Are you OK? What's going on? Why are you both drinking?" She asked. "Well." Emma started. "Regina fired me so she bring one of her puppets in as sheriff." "And I'm a delusional mess who almost believed a ten year old about being a fairy tale character." Amara said laying on the couch with another drink in her hand. "I never heard you so passionate about your job before." Mary Margaret said with a smirk as she was unloading her groceries. "All I know is I want my job back." She said then turned toward the couch. "Wait, you actually believed Henry about his fairy tales? What brought that on?" Emma asked leaning against the counter. " I don't know really. It was just how he believes so much in it. Then Graham, I just really let it get to me that's all." She said standing up and headed to the bathroom. Amara came out of the bathroom and seen Mr. Gold sitting at the table talking to Emma. She stumbled out. "Don't mind me I'm just grabbing some water then heading home." She grabbed a bottle of water then without saying bye grabbed her jacket and left the apartment.

Amara had slept all the rest of that day. When she woke up she had no idea what was going on. But then she got a whiff of hot chocolate and bacon. Confused she stumbled out of bed and headed to the kitchen. There she found Joseph putting her breakfast on a plate. He turned and seen her. "Ah. It's about time you woke up sleeping beauty." He smiled at her and gave her a light kiss. Still confused she looked at him. "Not that I'm complaining but how did you get in?" She asked. Her stomach getting the best of her she sat down and grabbed a piece of bacon. He chuckled lightly as he sat down across from her. " I have my ways." He said cryptically picking up a mug of coffee. They ate in silence until Amara glanced at the paper he was reading. "Hey can I see the paper for a second?" She asked spotting something. "Yeah sure. I figured you would go nuts once you saw it. " He said handing it over. There on the front cover was the story about Emma having Henry while she was in jail. She angrily threw the paper down on the table. "This is horrible! I can't believe Sydney would write something like this." She said angrily. "This had to be Regina's doing." She told him glaring at him. He angrily stared at her back. "Don't blame my sister for this. Sydney is a big boy he can choose on his own if he wants to write a story or not." He angrily got up and put his plate in the sink. "Oh please! Who are we kidding Regina wants to destroy Emma. Are you really going to tell me that Regina had nothing to do with it?" She asked standing up to stand in front of him. He scoffed and looked down at her. "I'm not getting into this with you. I'm late for a photo shoot with Regina." He pushed past her and grabbed his coat off the couch. "You know I was going to ask you to come with me, but clearly that would've been a mistake." He said to her before leaving out the front door. Amara just sank into the chair in exhaustion and put her head in her hands and took a deep breath.

After Joseph got done playing the supportive older brother for Regina during her public announcement about Sydney Glass taking over as Sheriff, he found himself in her office with a glass of scotch in his hand. " You did a real stupid thing Regina." He informed her as she walked in the room. "Oh really and what might that be?" She asked sarcastically. He glared at her. "That story you had Sydney run in the paper. It was stupid and completely childish." He took a drink. "Not to mention it caused me to have a fight with Amara this morning." He pointed a finger at her. "You wanted me to keep her under control? That's hard to do when you're having bad articles written about her friend!" He angrily almost shouted at her. He slammed the glass down. "If you don't quit this childish game you will be on your own." He threatened and walked out the door.

Amara ran into Emma as she was leaving Granny's. "Hey. I'm glad I caught you." She said as they started walking down the street. "How are you doing? I read the article." Amara explained. "I'm mad that Henry had to see it. I never wanted him to find out. This is a low blow even for her." Emma angrily exclaims. "I know. She never should've had Sydney write that article. She has gone too far this time." Amara told her as she walked Emma to the city hall building. "Do you want me to go in with you?" Amara asked as they reached the building. Emma shook her head. "No. I'll be alright. I have something I want to talk to you about later." Emma tells her. "Yeah OK. I'll be at the bar all day since I failed to show up yesterday." She smiled lightly. "You'll know where to find me." Amara turned and walked the other way toward The Rabbit Hole. When she got there she got stared down by Tim. "Well it's about time you decided to make an appearance." She looked at him and sighed as she hung up her jacket. "Look, I own this bar. If I don't feel like showing up then I'm not gonna show up. If you have a problem then you buy this place from me and fire me. But until then shut up about me not being here!" She exclaimed and walked out of the back room.

Through out the day she started to become more and more like herself. She talked with customers, she joked around. All and all it was a good day. Joseph came in to see her. She was currently setting down a round of beers for a table. "Hey." He said walking up beside her. "Hey." She smiled as she walked around the counter. "Do you have a minute? I want to apologize and I don't want to do it in front of a bunch of drunks." He said leaning forward on his elbows. She looked at him for a second as if thinking whether she wanted to talk to him or not. "Yeah, let's go in the back." She said and headed there without looking back. He followed behind her wordlessly. Once they were in the privacy of her office did he start. "I'm sorry about how things ended this morning. I know that Sydney will do anything that Regina says and she wanted to see Emma hurt. I know she is your friend. " He took a second to look at her. "So I talked to Regina." She tried to hide her surprise but he caught it in time and smiled. He moved closer so he had her against the desk. " I'm sorry for being an asshole today." He leaned in closer so he was barely touching her lips with his. "Will you forgive me?" He smirked before he lightly kissed her. She kissed him back and grasped his face in her hands. She pushed him away before it could go farther. "I'm still mad at you." She tells him with a light tone in her voice. He smiled at her. "I wouldn't expect anything less."

Joseph decided to hang around and have a couple drinks when he got the call. There was an explosion at Regina's office involving her and Emma. "Amara." He said pulling her away from a table of people she was talking to. "Its Regina and Emma there's been an explosion at her office and they were both involved." He said in a small panic. Amara's eyes widened in shock. "OK give me a couple minutes and we can go." She rushed to the back and grabbed her jacket. "Tim there's been an accident I have to go. Close up early if you want." She told him as she rushed out the door with Joseph on her heels right behind her.

Once they got there were people everywhere. Amara left Joseph and went over to Emma. She engulfed her in a hug. "Don't ever scare me like that again." She says as she pulled away. "Seriously don't." She joked. "Regina could use a good burning." She said as she looked around and seen Joseph talking to Regina who was sitting on a stretcher.

"Always making a scene aren't you Regina." Joseph comments as it was just them talking. "I had nothing to do with this. Why would I blow up my own building and have Miss Swan save me?" She retorted back just as angrily. "I don't know why you even bothered to show up if you're not going to be supportive." He sighed and kissed her forehead. "I came because you are my sister and I love you." He said. "Well if you love me gets all these cameras out of my face." She yelled and it was directed at everyone who had their cameras out taking pictures.

"Did you really rescue Regina?" Mary Margaret asked as they were all crowded in a circle talking with Dr Hopper and Granny and Ruby. Henry then came rushing over. "She did! I seen it! It was awesome!" He said excitedly causing the group to laugh. "You are a hero." Ruby stated as everyone in the group quickly agreed. Everyone then started talking about making campaign posters. Amara and Emma laughed as they rushed off to get started. Amara turned to Emma. "So how does it feel to be a hero?" She asked teasingly. "I don't feel any different. I was just doing the good think, nothing more." She says. Emma gets down to Henry's level to look at him. "See good can do something wonderful." She smiled at him. "Maybe you're right." He agreed smiling back at him. "And I'm completely lost." Amara tells them and they all laugh. Then something catches Emma eye as she looked over at the rubble and noticed something. Amara turned to look at what caught Emma's attention. "What is it?" She asked her catching the look on Emma's face as Emma kicked an old rope with her foot. "I think I just figured out what caused this." Emma said as she took off.

Amara followed after Emma. "Emma slow down. Where are you going?" Amara asked her as they came to Mr. Gold's shop. Emma ignored her and angrily pulled the door opened. There they seen Mr. Gold wiping down his items. He turned to look at them with a knowing look as Emma looked angry and Amara looked confused. "Well I just seem to be getting a lot of visits today." He said sarcastically and Emma slammed the door shut behind them angrily. "Here to break my little bell?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "You started that fire didn't you?" Emma accused as she held up the rope she was looking at in the rubble. "Wait What?" Amara asked looking between Emma and Mr. Gold. "Why would you start a fire like that?" Amara asked him. Mr Gold laughed humorlessly. "I've been right here all night Miss Swan." He told them. Emma walked closer to him holding up the rope. "This. Smell it. It smells of your sheep stuff. It turns out it's flammable." She told him. Amara followed to stand beside Emma as she looked at the rope. "Are you sure?" Mr. Gold asked. "There has been construction working in the city building. Lots of flammable stuff there." He said to the both of them. Amara looked at him and knew he was lying. "Why did you do it?" Amara asked him. He looked at her and smiled. "If. If I did it then it would be because you can not win without something big like a fire." He explained to the both of them. "How did you know that Emma would even be there in time?" Amara asked. "I do have eyes and ears in this town. Plus call me intuitive." He said with a smirk. Amara just glared at him. "I could've just left her there." Emma said baiting him. "Not the type." He retorted back. "I won't go along with this." She told him. He laughed at her. "Well I'm afraid my dear you just did." He said while smirking at her. "Are you kidding me?!" Amara asked angrily. "She did not ask for this. What you did was completely illegal. And I could go to Joseph about this." Amara told him angrily. "That's all just the price of election." He stated to both of them. "A price I didn't ask for." Emma said throwing down the rope on the counter. "Find another sucker." She said to him. "OK fine you two. Go ahead and expose me. But just think of what you'd be exposing and what you would be walking away from." He told them as they both glared at him and walked away out of the shop. "I really hate that guy." Amara says as they walk away from the building.

It was the day of election and Mary Margaret and Amara were hanging up flyers in favor of Emma. Everybody was gathered in town hall awaiting for it to start. Amara was walking around socializing and talking about Emma. She looked over toward the stage and saw Emma and Mary Margaret talking an looking out at the crowd. They seen her and she waved at them. They waved back and closed the curtain back. Joseph came over to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. "I found us good seats. You ready to go sit down? It'll be starting real soon." He told her. She looked up at him smiling. "Yes. Let's go sit." They found their seats as Archie came on stage. Amara watched as she seen Emma sitting there as if deciding on what she wanted to say. Sydney spoke first and she saw Regina say the speech back to him. Amara rolled her eyes at that.

Then Emma got on stage. " You all know I have a troubled past. But are willing to overlook it because of the hero thing. But here is the thing the fire was a set up." Amara looked in surprise. She actually told everybody the truth. She smiled at Emma in encouragement. "Mr. Gold offered to support me but I didn't know that it meant setting fire. But I can't win that way. I let you all believe that it was true and it wasn't. I can't let myself win knowing that. Thank you." She finished and walked back to her seat. Mr. Gold got up and Amara looked behind her seeing him walk right out the door. Everyone was still silent. Amara started a clap and everyone eventually joined in. Regina looked behind her and looked at Amara and glared. Amara just smirked at her. Joseph saw the whole exchange out of the corner of his eye.

Amara sat with Emma at the bar as she poured her a drink. "Hey everything is going to be fine. I know these people. You were honest with them. That's the best thing you could've done." She tells Emma trying to cheer her up. "I know. Just hope it was worth it." Henry walked in and stood next to Emma. "Hey Henry. What are you doing here?" Amara asked reaching over and grabbing a glass and filling it with milk for him. He reached into his bag and pulled out a walkie talkie. He hands it to Emma. "This is for you. For operation cobra. You stood up to Mr. Gold. That's really impressive." "Well he did something illegal." Emma said as she clipped the radio to her belt. Amara smiled at Henry as she set the glass of milk down for him. He looked at the both of them. "I shouldn't have given up on operation cobra. And neither should you Amara." Amara and Emma both smiled at him. The door chimed open and in walked Regina and Sydney. "I thought I might find you here." Regina said looking around before standing by them. "With a drink. And my son." She said looking at Henry. "Here to card me officer?" Emma said jokingly to Sydney. "No in fact I think I'll join you." He said and Amara raised her eyebrow in surprise. "Here? Well they have a party set up at Granny's for the winner." Amara said but poured him a drink anyway. "Well Emma will have to tell us how that is." He said back looking down at his drink. "What do you mean?" Emma said looking surprised. Regina took the badge from her pocket and laid it down next to Emma on the bar counter. "Congratulations Sheriff Swan." She said in a mono voice. "Wait! Are you serious?" Henry asked excitedly. "Seems like the town likes the fact that you stood up to Mr. Gold." Regina said. "Are you joking right now?" Emma asked still shocked. " She doesn't joke." Joseph said walking in and up to them. " You could've made a good friend in Mr. Gold but choose to make him an enemy. That's an interesting choice." He said standing beside Regina as she smiled at Emma. "Enjoy that Miss Swan. The fact that you have made an enemy in Mr. Gold." Amara rolled her eyes at Regina's comment.

Amara closed the bar early and together Emma, Henry, her and Joseph walked over to Granny's and they celebrated in Emma becoming the new sheriff. After the party Joseph walked Amara home. "Is this gonna cause you and Regina fight?" Amara asked him. He laughed humorlessly. "I told her I was done with her childish games. If she doesn't like that then oh well." He tells her as they reach her apartment. She turned to face him. "I had fun tonight. And I'm glad Emma won. She needs this." He smiled at her. "I'm glad you had a good time tonight. " he told her. "And I'm gonna continue to talk to Archie. Now more than ever I feel like something is going on. And I want to figure out what that is." He just looked her. She was oblivious to the look of fear and anger on his face.

Joseph stormed into the vault he frantically started searching for something. Regina came down the stairs and seen him. She hid in the shadows so she wouldn't be found. She wondered what he could possibly be searching for. After he left she looked at what he was searching through and found he was looking through their bottles of now useless potions and seen that one was missing. It was the memory swipe potion. Regina looked in confusion wondering why her brother would try to use a potion that he knew was useless here in Storybrooke.
