Chapter 5: The Arrangements with The Charmings and Henry
At The Mills' mansion, Regina and Henry got ready for their plans with the Charmings at Granny's Diner for breakfast. They called them few minutes ago after getting dressed in the casual wear. They didn't care about their state of presence. The brunette woman locked her house while Henry went to get in the Black Mercedes. She walked toward her car, got in and drove away to their destination. Finally, they arrived at the diner to greet The Charmings outside and strolled inside to get their usual booth. Ruby served them the breakfast in the first thing in the morning. Henry ate his breakfast in silence while Regina and The Charmings discussed seeing Emma in person.
"I think that we have to get an SUV to fit us and David and I will drive on our way to Nashville. Is that clear?" The brunette woman spoke while she read thoroughly on the plans.
"It would work perfectly," David replied. Ruby and Granny listened to the entire conversation and decided to join them on next day to see Emma.
"What do we do there in Nashville?" Snow asked. Regina looked up at her and spoke in a motherly tone.
"We will stay there for few days and get Emma to come home with us, but I'm not sure about her plans yet. We play ear by ear." The boys nodded while they ate their bread. Neal laughed while he played with a beanbag toy. Snow looked away at her son and wiped the drool from his face with a napkin. Regina smiled hesitantly and spoke again.
"I already paid the VIPs. It has 7 badges. But I did order 5 but these 2 badges are extras. It's for Emma's first show in Nashville to kick off." Ruby and Granny whisked to see them and yelled.
"We want one! We want to see Emma too! Can we join!?" Regina, The Charmings, and Henry jumped at the shout from the Lucas family and looked away at them. The brunette woman rolled her eyes and said in an annoyed tone.
"You can come. You only bring one or two small bags. It would fit in SUV." Ruby and Granny high-fived each other and grabbed two badges for VIP. The Charmings rolled their eyes and Henry scoffed then continued.
"Mom, what will we do with Emma on our day?"
"We have to discuss Emma. You remembered that she left Storybrooke one year ago. It's hard to believe that it went by a year. Anyway, we have to explain everything in detail about the why and the reason we need her here." Regina spoke while she worked on her arrangements.
"Ok, what about the enchantment on our returns to Storybrooke?" Snow asked.
"I have Snow Queen's scroll. It is possible to get you all except my son and I. We can have access because of the first curse."
"Perfectly," David muttered under his breath. Ruby smacked his head. Snow was grinning. Henry looked up at him and giggled. The pixie-cut brunette woman cleared her throat and continued.
"I will call Leroy about getting an SUV." Ruby looked around to find Leroy sitting on the barstool and spoke.
"Hey, Leroy!" Snow turned around and found him there. On the barstool, Leroy drank a black coffee and replied. "Yeah?"
"Can you get us an SUV tomorrow morning?"
"Sure, I can drop it off at Madame Mayor's house. If it is okay with you, Ma'am?"
"It's all right." Regina waved her hand. He nodded and returned to his breakfast. Until, they discussed getting a hotel rooms for three families for one night on their way to Nashville, Tennessee. And they decided to hold the airport off on their plans because they are afraid to fly on the plane. They haven't been on the aircraft before. They decided to have a road trip for 18 hours and 7 minutes. On their agreements, they approved of the solid plans to get there for seeing Emma.
Henry's phone buzzed with the tweets and video chat alerts. He checked it on his phone and spoke.
"Mom, can you conjure the big screen here? Can you use magic to transfer my phone to the screen so we can see Emma on the video chat with tweets? I think that Emma is online for her tweets."
"Sure." Regina conjured the big screen on the back wall from in the front of the backroom. The patrons looked it up at the screen. Henry scrolled on his phone to click the link for an interview with Emma Swan. It opened on the screen. They waited until the time is up to show the face of Emma.
In the interview video, the reporter was talking to the blonde beauty in the off-sleeve jumpsuit with her straight hair and the flower pin on the side of the hair. Her makeup was the cat eyeliner and pure pink. In the diner, they heard Emma laughing and showed her true colors of carefree. The reporter was the woman in the business suit and held the cards then continued.
"Emma, you look radiating today."
"Thank you. I feel like I'm the sunshine today. I'm excited to be here."
"Me too. Now, we are talking about your new debut cd, The Narrow Life. It has been successfully through three months. It already increased. Congratulations! You got your platinum gold! So how do you feel about it?"
"Be honest. I felt wonderfully when I heard the great news from my producer. He told me that I have a platinum gold for my first cd. I can't imagine that, but I thank my fans who supported me through my music career. It's been a year to have that cd released. I'm happy that it is a success. Cheers!" Emma laughed. The reporter shook her head and continued.
"I'm sure that you pulled it off on your performance two nights ago at CMT Awards. You did great! And I heard you got 5 awards. You have an Album of the Year, Best Female Vocalist of the Year, The Song of the Year, New Artist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. It's hard to believe that you're the first person to get it all."
"Yeah, it is hard to believe that I got it. I was like what the hell. I know, I'm serious and I can't find any words when I heard my name on the screen and looked it up. I went wailing and walked toward them. I had to give my speech, but there are several words I can say, but I choked it up. Also, I'm thrilled to have my fans out there to listen to my music. Right now, I'm the luckiest person."
"Yes, you are. Now, you sure look stunning on these red carpets. Let's show it." The reporter looked away at the camera. The pictures showed one of Emma's red carpet photos and Emma wore the black dress that it was a see-through gown. It had lace. It looked like a lingerie maxi-gown. Her hair was down in the princess curls. She walked with her red heels. She posed in few photos in the same dress. In the interview, Emma laughed and looked down on the ground then looked up at the reporter and continued.
"I loved that dress. I meant, to be not exposing on everyone about my sexy figure. But it was a beautiful dress that I had ever seen."
"Yeah, you are absolutely beautiful. Let's show another one." The reporter waved her hand to get another photo of her. Emma was wearing the black and white tuxedo suit with her ponytail. She wore the black heels. It was the best photo of her. In the diner, the patrons included the Charmings and The Mills looked in shock when they saw the beautiful blonde woman in the dress and tuxedo suit. Few minutes later, Ruby whooped and spoke in her flirty tone.
"Emma looked so fucking hot!" Granny smacked her bicep with a dish towel. Snow yelled at her about a children warning. Henry rolled his eyes. They kept watching on the screen. In the screen, Emma smiled in absolute beauty. It wrapped up with Emma's songs and concert. They finished the interview and the screen went black. Henry scrolled down to get another video chat which Emma would be on in few minutes. It opened in the streaming video and in the video, it was the background of a white wall. They waited for Emma to appear in the video.
Ten minutes later, Emma finally appeared in the video and she was in her blue maxi dress with her bunhead hair. She smiled at the video camera and spoke in a cheery tone.
"Hello everyone! Thank you for signing in on the video chat. I'm not sure how it works though. So, I'm thrilled to have you here. I can tell by my computer geek who was behind you. (Laughs) I have my twitter on another computer. You can ask me questions and I can answer one of yours. Is it awesome? I think it is ready by now. Whoa! I see many tweets and it is going fast."
In the diner, they laughed at the screen except Regina, who was silent. They had seen Emma in different appearances. Her clothing styles are different and her personality has been open. Emma cleared her throat and chose carefully to answer the question.
"Ok, I have IheartEmma123's question: I've been a fan of your music. I have a question. What made you decide to pick a song – The Narrow Life on your album cover?" She paused and looked up at the video camera then continued.
"That's a good question. The Narrow Life is my album cover, you know. It's meant to be my first song when I lived here on my first day before I went into my music career as a new songwriter and singer. It was my first choice to get it on my album cover. It meant so much to me because it was my first song that I wrote back in the day."
Emma looked away at the computer, read the tweets and picked one question from MissippissiGirlRiver. She spoke in her cheery tone.
"It said, I love your songs. What is your favorite song from that album? And why?"
"I would say 'A Good Life.' Because it is based on my love life with two people. I thought that it was the best song that I wrote. Of course, it went out on few days after I recorded it on my album. Guess what? It went platinum gold today as I heard. Thank you again!"
"I have UglyducklingEmmaSwan's question. It said if the singing career doesn't work then what do you want to be?" She paused and thought it over then spoke.
"I think that I wanted to be a social worker for the foster system. I grew up in the foster system and I wanted to help the children who struggled in the foster system. It would be good for me to be their role model."
"Another question from WhiteKnightSwan. It said you pulled it off on your performance from CMT awards and congratulations on Entertainer of the Year. How do you feel about receiving this greatest award?"
"I can't believe that I got it. It was thrilling but unforgettable. I thank you for you all who voted for me. I can't believe it."
It went into two hours to answer the questions. Emma was tired but decided to have two questions left to answer. Ruby decided to tweet a question with the username – OperationStorybrooke for two questions.
"Now, I have two questions from OperationStorybrooke. It said, what if the person came to you and told you if she's sorry about ruining your happy beginnings then what will you do? Other question: Do you love her completely and forgive her?"
Regina widened her eyes, knew that it was Ruby tweeting her and other patrons held their breath until Emma found it out of the blue and decided to answer that questions on the video chat.
"If she came to me and gave me her apology, then I would listen to her words but I have to think about the forgiveness. I will let her work hard by earning my forgiveness and trust. To another question: Yes, I still love her. I have her picture in my purse wherever I go. For now, I have to go. Thank you, fans to stay with me on our video chat for two hours. It's tiring but awesome. I hope to see you again! Goodbye, I love you all!" Emma smiled. It won't let her click on the end and she spoke in a goofy voice.
"It won't let me click on the end call of the video chat. What can I do?" The blonde woman looked away at her computer geek who was behind the screen. The man appeared on the screen and laughed then continued.
"I think you disconnected the plug from the mouse." Emma laughed and replied.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so clumsy! Ok, See you again for real." The man shook his head and spoke.
"No, we didn't end it and we are still on the roll." The blonde woman exclaimed and shoved him out of the screen then responded.
"I'm sorry. Technical issues! Seriously, I love you all. See you" Emma left the video. The man appeared to sit on Emma's seat and smiled at the video chat then continued.
"Hello everybody then Bye!" He clicked the end and it went out on the black screen. In the diner, they went silent and Henry turned it off. Regina conjured the screen to vanish it. The Charmings looked around to see Regina in her tears. Ruby smiled sadly and left the kitchen. Granny hushed the patrons to the usual. Henry rubbed on his mom's back. Snow sighed and discussed everything in the order. Regina nodded and stayed silent.
The Charmings left the diner to do their day for their journey with The Mills and Lucas on the next day. Regina went to work and Henry went to hang out with his friends for a day. Ruby went to work at the station for her afternoon shift. Granny cleaned it up and served them with the food order. Leroy went back to pick the SUV and drove away to the mayoral mansion then walked toward the town hall. He gave it to Regina the keys then left the office to do his work in the mines. The day went slowly as long they were busy with their errands.
For Regina, she thought about the questions Emma answered on the video chat. She half-smiled at Emma's beauty and checked out on the video for 'You're My Happy Beginning'. She replayed it over and over until she decided to leave for going home with her son. They packed their bags and had their dinner then watched the music videos of Emma. Until they fell asleep on the couch.
