Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long. This first one is a request, and the other 3 are just ones that popped into my head. I don't have any requests on my list, so please please send me some! I've really been in a writing mood lately! I hope I still have some readers out there! Enjoy :)

Headaches

Crystal Earth asked to see more bonding between Hanna and Regina.

Hanna sat in a booth at Granny's sipping her hot chocolate, hoping this headache would go away. She just had a lesson with Regina, and now her head was pounding.

"You don't look so good," Regina said as she sat down across from Hanna. "Are you feeling alright?"

"I'm great," Hanna said, trying to put on a happy face. She didn't want Regina to know how she really felt.

Regina just raised her eyebrows. "I can spot a magic headache when I see one."

Hanna shrugged. "My head is fine."

"So, I guess you won't be wanting this?" Regina waved her hand and made a small vile of potion appear.

Hanna knew exactly what that was. That sparkling purple liquid would instantly make her headache go away. That potion worked for nausea, headaches, or really any sickness that came about when first learning how to use magic.

"Well…I mean it couldn't hurt to just drink it. You know, more of a preventative thing." She still didn't want to admit to the headache. Hanna reached out for the bottle.

"Not so fast," Regina said as she quickly pulled the potion out of Hanna's reach. "You have to tell me how you're really feeling first."

Hanna eyed Regina up, trying to determine if she could convince Regina to give it to her without telling her about the headache. Regina just raised her eyebrows and gave Hanna a very stern look in return. Hanna just sighed. There was only one way she was getting that magic headache cure.

"Fine," Hanna rolled her eyes. "My head has been killing me for the last hour."

"That's what I thought," Regina handed the vile to Hanna.

Hanna quickly gulped it down and let out a sigh of relief when her headache disappeared.

"Thanks," Hanna said with a smile. "I think I'll just go home now."

Regina reached out and grabbed ahold of Hanna's arm. "Hanna wait. Sit back down," Regina nodded her head towards the booth.

"What is it?" Hanna asked innocently.

"We need to talk about this headache of yours, and I need you to be honest with me, okay?"

"Sure," Hanna said with a shrug.

"Is this the first headache you've had since we started our lessons?"

"Yeah," Hanna lied. She saw the look on Regina's face though. Hanna looked down and slowly shook her head.

Regina sighed. "How may others have you had?"

"Only two other ones besides today. They only lasted a few hours. I promise!"

"Why didn't you tell me about them?"

"Because I knew you would tell my mom and dad," Hanna told her. "I don't want them to make me stop my lessons."

Regina could understand that. "Look, I'll make you a deal. If you're honest with me about when you get headaches, I won't tell your mom and dad."

Hanna was surprised to hear that. "You won't, really?"

Regina shook her head. "It'll stay just between you and me. As long as you keep your end of the deal," Regina said with a raise of her eyebrows.

"I will, I promise," Hanna said with a nod.

"And I think it's best that we take a few days off from training too."

"No, please!" Hanna begged. She loved magic lessons. "I don't need to do that. I feel fine now."

Regina reached and took ahold of Hanna's hand. "Hanna, listen to me. These headaches are your body's way of telling you that you need to take a break. You will get worse if we don't slow down. I don't want that to happen."

"Fine," Hanna said with a sigh.

"Hey, it's only for a few days. Then we'll get back to business and you'll be begging me for a break," Regina said with a wink.

Hanna let out a laugh."I can't wait."

"Good," Regina said with a smile. "Now, how about another hot chocolate on me? Then I'll walk you home."

Hanna just nodded her head and watched Regina get up to order their drinks. She was glad she could come to Regina about things like this.

Regina didn't want to keep this from Snow and David, but she knew these headaches were just a small side effect that occurred when you first started using magic. Hanna's headaches weren't frequent enough to cause any worry. She, herself, needed to know about the headaches though. She had to be able to know when to take it easy on Hanna during lessons. Regina figured the only way to gain Hanna's trust was to promise they would keep it between the two of them. Regina was certain that Hanna's headaches would be few and far between, and if they did occur, Hanna would be telling someone instead of trying to hide it and that was the most important thing.
