To answer questions made by un-registered people:
Raquel: No, last chapter won't be the Snowing wedding because I suck at writing weddings. I wrote one wedding once and it was horrible... Sorry :(
Lisa: MM already graduated (before summer), I'm 99% sure I wrote it somewhere, not her graduating per se, but she explaining that Ruby lost a semester because she had to go and help Granny after Granny had a health complication and Emma lost a semester because she was partying around. I tried to find it, but I didn't have any luck - maybe I wasn't looking on the right chapters, or maybe that paragraph didn't make it pass my re-editing. I'm sorry :/

Hope you guys enjoy this chapter! As always, thanks for your reviews and follows!

Congrats to Sara K M for guessing last chapter's name, it was 'Proposal and Engagement' :)

EMMA'S POV

You must wonder how did Ruby and I end up dressed with Lost and Found items and sobering up in the Sheriff's office. Specially after we had promised ourselves to stop behaving like teenagers and star behaving like adults. It was kind of a funny story, actually.

It all started when my favorite she-wolf and I decided to celebrate. We had lots of reasons to cheer for to be honest: we had graduated and Mary Margaret was engaged! But those were not the reasons why we were celebrating. Of course was ecstatic for both of those reasons, but the real reason Ruby and I had decided to drink like there was no tomorrow was because Mary Margaret finally had an active sex life.

No, of course she hadn't told us. But we could see it on the way she walked and on the way she shined, and on everything she did actually. It was like if she expired sex. It was impossible to miss. Specially for someone as experienced as Ruby (alright, and me).

Couple of years ago, when Ruby and I were 18 years old and realised that Mary Margaret would still be a virgin for many years to come we had made a promise. We decided that the night when Mary Margaret finally did the deed we would drink until we lost any type of self-control, then we would get naked and steal Storybrooke's sheriff department's horse.

And so we were, years after that promise was made, in jail for breaking at least 3 laws punishable in the State of Maine. Sadly the police didn't own a horse anymore because Graham had decided a motorbike was better so we had to get creative on that part. This time Graham didn't allow us to get food. Which sucked, with capital s. And he had told us to be grateful that he had given us clothes from the Lost and Found department; I didn't know what was to be grateful about, the shirts were two sizes bigger and they smelled like alcohol and vomit (no, it was not us, it was actually the shirts).

Beside me, Ruby snored and shifted positions on her sleep. It was almost six a.m. but I couldn't sleep. Being back in Storybrooke was good and bad at the same time, it remind me of too many emotions I had felt too soon and not too long ago - specially with Regina's face plastered everywhere. I wondered what would she be doing now, probably panicking over the fact that elections were in two days time. I shook my head: no, Regina Mills never panicked.

I couldn't help but wonder what would she think if she saw me like this? It was not like we had fallen back into our old habits. We were not alcoholics who had slipped, but apparently some people didn't understand that. David being one of them. He pushed the sheriff office's door and walked in wearing an angry face, it told me that I had crossed all the lines this time.

"Public display of nudity, seriously?" He said throwing the news paper on the table and staring at me. Oh, dear Lord! We were on front page. Luckily, our female parts were hidden by the horse that Ruby and I were riding. "What is wrong with you?" my brother asked, "I thought that finishing college was going to make you at least a little bit more mature!"

"It was just one night," I said rolling my eyes.

"It is never just one night with you,"

"Oh, my god, David! Get fucking over it,"

"No," he stepped closed to the cell where we were being held "I don't understand why you tried so hard to change, to be better and just to go back to your old self,"

"I told you it was one night!" I yelled. I was tired of David trying to be my father, it had been like that since we were kids. He was not my father, he was my older brother, he needed to learn that he didn't have the right to lecture me. "And yes, we did stupid shit, but unlike before we had reasons to celebrate," then I lowered my voice "so, please get out of my face or I'll pack my shit and return only for Mary Margaret's wedding,"

I saw that he wanted to reply something, he wanted to say so many things. But he gave it a second thought, he knew I would pack my things and leave town, he knew I shouldn't be dared, because I never lost a dare. So, he left me and Ruby alone. David had always been the wise one, always making the right decisions. I rolled my eyes and sat next to where Ruby pretended to be asleep - all the yelling had probably wake her up.

"You okay?" Ruby asked, shifting to a sitting position. I knew she had heard all the conversation.

"Ask me again tomorrow," I replied, laying my head on her shoulder. And slowly, I finally fell asleep.

What I hate about waking up in prison is that I wake up to the Sheriff's annoying morning voice - because seriously, Graham has a horrible voice to hear in the morning. This time, however, it was Ruby's angry voice that woke me up. I opened my eyes to see she had laid me down on the cell's bed and was talking to someone.

"I want another attorney," I heard her say.

Graham laughed. "I'm sorry, Ruby, but unless you pay for your own lawyer, you are stuck with the attorney that the city gives you,"

The city had probably assigned Sydney Glass to our case. Glass was the most incompetent person ever. He was such a bad lawyer, that we would probably end doing time for things we didn't even do. I decided it was time to get up and see what was all this about.

"Well, this sucks," my friend replied.

"Tell me about it," my blood froze when I heard her voice. I felt the color leaving my face when I turned to see Regina walking towards the cell with the file on her hand. "It is so nice of you to join us, Miss Swan," she added with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Why does this happen to me? I wanted to bang my head against the wall until I died of internal hemorrhage. One night, one night I decide to let it go and I end up naked in the news papers and with Regina as my lawyer. My mind travelled to the last time we had really talked, not during my parents' brunch but when we met at the stables, when she saw my heart without walls, when she saw me broken. Why is she even working this case? She should be out giving speeches and kissing babies.

Her voice brought me back to reality "It says here that you stole a horse from the -," her eyebrow arched, and she corrected herself, "You stole my horse from the stables,"

"We borrowed it," I shrugged. Regina's horse was the only horse I'd trust my life with, and it was the only horse that let us get near him.

"And you were naked,"

"We were in our birth suits," sassy Emma strikes again, I thought with a smirk.

"Miss Swan, I'd be grateful if you'd stop with the stupid comments and focused in the real problem"

"Alright, Miss Mills,"

To be honest, I was glad we had Regina as our lawyer, I knew I was in good hands. But it also made me feel incredible guilty, I had wrongly judged her, and here she was: trying to get me out of prison - again. I didn't make any more Emma-comments, as MM liked to call them, and I replied all the questions Regina asked as serious and honest as I could (and remembered). Regina's voice didn't help, it was like a lullaby to my ears and I had to fight to keep my eyes open - a night of alcohol and insomnia was starting to payback.

And then, Ruby, as the lifesaver she is, asked if she could go to the bathroom and grab coffee on her way back. Graham let her, but he said he'd follow her - as if Ruby would be planning to escape. I sat straighter, just the thought of coffee waked me up.

"So," I let out when Ruby and Graham disappeared through the hallway "I thought you wouldn't be handling people in jail anymore, since you are running for mayor and shit,"

"I still have to do my job," she replied coldly. "And since some people can't seem to stay away from problems, I still have to handle them,"

It was a very clear indirect: she was angry at me. I heard my conscience, or how I liked to call it: little Mary Margaret, telling me to apologize.

"I'm sorry,"

"You should be," Regina snapped "you are wasting my debate time, something my mother clearly will take advantage of," she clearly hadn't understand what I was apologizing for.

"I didn't mean about this," I placed my hand over the file "I mean, yes I am sorry I stole your horse and rode it naked and got caught and made a mess for you," I quickly corrected myself, "but what I really meant about everything, about being an ass, judging you, leaving town without letting you explain yourself," I explained "I am truly sorry, can we - can we just be friends again?"

Regina breathed deeply, "Ok," came out as an almost inaudible reply. "I forgive you, and we can be friends," Regina added with a sad smile that I couldn't read.

"So, when's your big day?" I tried to change to a less depressing topic - at least for Regina.

"Elections are on sunday," yes, I knew that.

"I meant your wedding," I explained, trying not to sound hurt.

"I am not getting married, not anytime soon, and not to Daniel,"

"But Daniel -,"

"He proposed, yes," she interrupted, "And I said no,"

I didn't say anything. Mainly because I had some many things to say and so many questions to ask that I knew I would end up fucking it all up. A simple "I see..." escaped my mouth.

"Well," Regina closed to file "Since it was my horse and I won't press charges, that won't be a problem. But don't make a habit out of it. I'd gladly let you ride Rocinante if you ask me first," she added. Sometimes I forgot that Flake's real name was Rocinante, "I'll see what I can do about the nudity later today,"

"You don't have to," I said "I know you have more important things to do,"

I saw her opening her mouth to say something and then close it again. I knew Regina too well to know that she was speechless; she had decided to stay silent, keeping to herself what she wanted to say. And it killed me, because a part of me wanted her to tell me that I was important, because a part of me wanted her to get angry at my actions. Because I wanted it to back to how it used to be.

"I'll see what I can do," she repeated and left the precinct.

"Are you alright?" Ruby asked walking into the cell again and holding out a cup of coffee for me. I surrounded the cup with my fingers, trying to warm them up, and wondered how much Ruby had heard.

"No," I replied fighting the tears that wanted to escape my eyes. "But I don't want to talk about it,"

Because I didn't want to talk about how badly I wanted Regina back in my life, how I wanted some acknowledgement from her side, how it hurt when she treated me as if I was someone else. Because I didn't want to be her friend, because a part of me still loved her. But I couldn't talk about that, because then my feelings would come out raw, and I was afraid of my emotions. Too afraid.
