The two women walked up the steps
to Snow and Charming’s new house in the woods. It was a beautiful place with
lots of space. They had a barn with horses and a variety of other animals,
gardens, pathways through the woods to take romantic strolls. Once everything
had settled down, they had decided to build their own house. When it was
completed, they moved Henry’s horse out there and it was very rare not to find
Henry and Charming out in the pastures learning knight like things.
Emma opened the door and they
were greeted with laughter. Ruby, Snow,
Belle, and Ashley were sitting around the giant wooden table, cocktails in
hand. Two other women were there that Emma and Regina didn’t know personally
but knew were Alek’s sisters. When Emma
and Regina approached, everyone greeted them happily, everyone but Snow. She sat in silence sipping on her martini.
“I see the party has already
started,” Emma smirked.
“We’re just pre-gaming Swan. Care
to join?” This came from Ruby. She looked fabulous. The dress did fit her
wonderfully and the red spike heels she had on were pretty high but did match
as she had said. She did look the hottest of all of them, but that was normally
the case. When Regina’s not around,
thought Emma. She smiled and squeezed her girlfriend’s hand.
“Who’s driving?” Emma loved to
party every now and then, but as Sheriff, she had to make sure they were
responsible.
“That would be me doll,” this
coming from one of the sisters. She was incredibly tall, if Emma had to guess,
six feet, and had blonde hair close to her behind. She had eyes the color of
ice and a slight Russian accent. She
wore a tight black cut out dress that looked completely uncomfortable to
everyone else.
“Her name is Nina. She was actually invited.” Snow was bitter, very bitter.
“Snow, I don’t mind! Regina is
lots of fun!” Ruby was just trying to defuse the tensions. Snow just laughed.
“Fun. Right.” Snow rolled her eyes, swaying slightly.
“Looks like someone has already
had too much to drink. Maybe we should go ahead and get on the road?” Emma and
Snow glared at each other, silently sending daggers with their eyes.
“Wait, we’re going to have to
take two cars. My van can only hold seven.” Ashley had the biggest car of all
of them. Her and her husband had three
kids at this point. Between carrying the kids and their stuff around, they had
needed the space.
“We’ll just take two cars then.”
This from the other sister. She was almost identical to Nina, but with green
eyes, a little shorter, and her accent a little more profound. She too wore a
black dress.
It was a little more modest. “I have my car and Ruby has Alek’s.
We can just go four and four. Nina can drive Alek’s.”
Nina suddenly had a grin just
like the Cheshire cat’s.
“I would love to.” Ruby handed
Nina the car keys and Nina walked quickly toward the back door, leading to the
little parking area in the back.
“Let’s go! We have an hour drive ahead!” Ruby
squealed and all the women got up, giggling, ready to party.
Emma and Regina followed, still
not holding hands, behind the rest of the group. Outside the house, Snow
whipped around and stalked towards them.
She pointed one thin finger towards Regina’s nose.
“If you ruin this night for us,
so help me God, I will kick your ass.” At the last she poked Regina in the
chest, knocking her backward slightly. Even though she was smaller, Snow could
be pretty tough.
Emma grabbed Snow and pulled her
to the side.
“Damn it! Why can’t you just get
over yourself? You’re the one already ruining the night! You’ve already had too
many drinks. Thank God we have the hour car ride so you can sober up a little.
You need to grow up and act like an adult.”
“I am an adult Emma! I’m your
mother!”
Emma looked around, hoping the
two Russian models hadn’t heard Snow. The cover story was that Emma and Snow
were sisters.
“Just get over it. Regina is here
with me. We are going to have fun. You’re going to have fun with us. This needs
to be an awesome night for Ruby, but at the rate you’re going, it’s all going
to go to hell half way through the drive.”
They stared at each other, just
like they had in the diner. Snow blinked first.
“Fine. That doesn’t mean I’m okay
with it though.”
“I already know this.”
“I’m riding in the other car.”
Frustrated, Snow sighed and
turned, walking in her yellow three inch heels across the pavement toward the
black Audi which held Nina, Belle, and Ashley. Henry and Charming had found an
interest in cars recently and Henry had told Emma it was a brand new s5. It
hadn’t meant anything to Emma or Regina but it was interesting to Henry so they
had to pretend it was interesting to them as well. Emma turned and walked to
the silver Range Rover behind them. At this point, Emma figured Alek and his
family had lots of money. Nice cars, nice clothes, nice houses, and much more
belonged to them. Ruby and the other sister we’re already in the car but Regina
waited outside, hugging herself and staring at the ground.
She was quiet, “I should just go
home, Emma. Your mother is just going to make us feel worse and ruin the night
for Ruby.”
Emma grabbed Regina’s chin and
pulled her eyes to hers. Emma kissed her
sweetly on the mouth. She knew her mother was watching, but she didn’t care. She
wanted Regina to spend this night with her. She wanted to have fun and dance
the night away with her girlfriend.
“She’s not going to kick your
ass,” she said kissing her again. “You’re going Regina. So get that sexy ass in
the car.”
Regina finally smiled, kissing
her back. As they were kissing, the sun roof rolled back and Ruby popped out
the top.
“You lovebirds get in the car!
I’m ready to enjoy my last night as a free woman!” She threw her hands up in the air and the
girl in the car turned up the music. Regina and Emma smiled at each other,
getting in the car. When everyone was settled, the cars pulled out of the
driveway.
The Audi pulled up to the side of
the Range and revved its engine.
“My sister. She wants to race.”
The blonde looked at Ruby. The smile on Ruby’s face was like sunshine. Ruby
loved speed.
“Do it!”
Regina
grabbed Emma’s hand and they both closed their eyes just as the two cars kicked
forward onto the road out of town. The cars were going so fast, the Storybrooke
sign just a blur as they passed.
An hour later, the women had
reached their destination. A smaller city in Maine that’s night life was
incredible. Bars and clubs lined a
street there. It was almost like the Vegas strip of this town. Blinking lights
and people dressed up in clubbing attire.
Emma and Regina had learned the
other sister’s name, Ana. She was quite the partier and had been in the states
the least amount of time, hence the heavier accent. She was an event coordinator in Los Angeles
and knew how to find the best places to party, leading them to this sparkly
street in Maine. She had worked with Snow and Belle to plan this outing and had
guaranteed “the time of your life”.
They walked along the sidewalk
and looked at everything. Ashley was particularly shocked at everything. She
still hadn’t left Storybrooke. Sean had to work too much and it took all of her
time taking care of the babies. Luckily, Granny volunteered to watch them so
Ashley could go to the bachelorette party and Sean could go to the bachelor
party. All the guys had gone to a basketball game in Boston and Henry had gone
with them. Everyone loved Henry so he
was hardly left out when it came to anything.
Again, Regina and Emma walked
behind the rest of them. They were really surprised people hadn’t stopped to
stare when they held hands or stole kisses from each other. Maybe everyone else
was too wrapped up in their own lives to care about the two women strolling
down the street, so in love.
They
watched the six women in front of them, laughing and dancing around. Even Snow
seemed to be having a good time. They stopped at a small shop along the way
named “Christy’s toy box”. They bought a bachelorette crown and sash for Ruby,
mardigras beads for everyone else. Regina even picked something up when no one
was looking. Emma saw the purchase though, and they grinned at one another.
Finally, they reached their
destination, a club called Khaos. Ruby saw the line and sighed, thinking they
would never get in only to be surprised when Ana strolled straight to the
front, dragging Ruby with her, the rest of the women following.
“Hi, Ivanov party, please.”
The bouncer stared at her. She was probably the prettiest thing he had
ever seen in the town. She cleared her
throat and the bouncer looked at the list on his podium. Finding their name, he opened the door for them
and sighs from the crowd were heard.
Ruby squealed simply because she had been let in, but her jaw dropped
once they went through the second pair of doors.
The club had black and white
décor. Club lights zoomed around the room and the base pulsed. Diamond
chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting everything into brilliant color. It
was three stories high, but the middle was cleared out. Decks went around each
level letting people look down at the dance floor on the first level.
“We have the VIP lounge on the
third floor.” Ana smiled like she had just won the lottery, knowing her soon to
be sister-in-law and her friends were very impressed. “Let’s go.”
“Hey, Regina and I are going to
go ahead and hit the bar.” Regina instantly knew Emma had a plan and only
smiled. Snow picked up that something
was going on and continued walking toward the elevator, slightly peeved.
“Alright! Have fun! We’re in the VIP Lounge on the third floor,” replied
Ruby, saying the final bit as if bragging. She winked and headed off to find
the rest.
“So Emma Swan, why are we dodging
the rest of our party?” Regina raised her brow, staring longingly at Emma.
“You very well know why.” Emma
dragged her to the west side of the club. She grabbed two shots from a waitress
and continued on to one of the private lounges at the side. She gave one shot
to Regina and they tossed them back in sync.
They placed the glasses on a
table and continued on, hand in hand. Emma finally reached a door and opened
it. It was small hallway leading to the
back area of the club. The blonde dragged her girlfriend through the hallway,
looking at the title of each door. Finally she found one that would work.
Opening it she shoved Regina in and followed.
It was a large closet with some broken chairs and a broken couch in it.
Some sound equipment lie on a shelf and a couple boxes of liquor were on the
shelf opposite. She locked the door and turned to the dark haired woman sitting
on the couch in front of her.
Damn, she’s fine. Emma thought.
I want her. Now. Regina
thought.
“That dress looks really good on
you Ms. Mills.”
And it did. She wore a dark blue
strapless dress. It was simple number
paired with identical shoes that made her as tall as Emma was in her heels. A
beautiful diamond necklace layered around her neck.
Her neck. She has a great neck.
“You don’t look too bad yourself
Ms. Swan.”
And she didn’t. Emma wore an
emerald green dress, much like the dress she wore on that night that seemed so
long ago. The night Henry found her. She
had no jewelry other than her swan necklace. Her light, black leather jacket
held in her hand. Her eyes were shining, hungry.
She wants me too. Right now.
Deep down, Regina was slightly self-conscious. It was always a small
shock when Emma wanted her back.
Emma couldn’t wait any longer.
She walked to Regina and straddled her lap. Brushing her hands through Regina’s
hair, she kissed her hard, hard and long, as if her life depended on it.
They shuffled around until
Regina’s head lay on the side of the broken couch, Emma on top of her.
They
kissed again, a fire igniting them.
