Snow was having a small get together at her and David's place one night, she had invited Rumple, Belle, Emma, Hook, Red, Granny, Archie,Tinkerbell, Regina and even Robin Hood and a few others. She thought this was a good time to get some of the town together to try to figure out why they had no memory of the last year and they were to discuss the issue of the wicked witch as well.
The group were getting along pretty well, Grumpy would make a remark here and there causing an argument to break out. Granny was trying her best to keep him from making a total arse of himself. Everyone discussed everything they remembered from the time they arrived back in Storybrooke, Regina had gone earlier, telling what she knew, and was standing by the window with Tinkerbell.
"You need to tell him, don't let this opportunity go by Regina," Tink said.
"We don't have time for this moth," Regina said.
"Regina, you lost your chance at happiness before. Don't let this pass you by again, he's your soul mate, the one you were destined to be with," Tink said.
"Will you keep your voice down?" Regina said as she saw Robin coming over their way, he cleared his throat before he started talking.
"So now do care for that drink?" Robin said as he had brought her a drink, he handed one to Tink as well.
"Thank you," Regina said as she took the drink from him.
"Robin, Regina and I were just discussing the possibilities of soul mates. Do you have an opinion on it?" Tink said receiving a elbow in her side from Regina for doing so.
"Well, if you are asking if there is someone out there we are all destined to be with, then I do believe in them," Robin said.
"That's a very good answer, now if you will excuse me I need to talk with Red about something," Tink said as she left the duo there.
"So, do you have a soul mate out there milady?" Robin asked.
"I'm not sure I believe in that," Regina said.
"Well, like you said last night, sometimes we never appreciate the things that are right here in front of us,"Robin said as they looked at each other, Robin smiled back at her.
"Just so you know milady, your heart is in a very safe place," Robin said.
"Thank you for helping me out with that," Regina said.
"Its the very least I can do. So I was wondering if I could walk you home after this is all over," Robin said.
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself," Regina said.
"Of that I have no doubt, but maybe I'm scared of the dark. You could at least escort me that far," Robin said with a smile.
"You're scared of the dark, but live in the woods?" Regina asked, raising her eyebrows at that statement with a smile on her face as well.
"Well, maybe I'm just trying to impress a certain someone," Robin said, they just looked at each other with that being said. Robin leaving no doubt who he was trying to impress.
"Regina, if I may have a word." Rumple said.
"Gold, not now," Regina said.
"Yes now," Rumple said.
"Dark one I think you heard the lady," Robin said as he had turned to stand in between Regina and Rumple.
"You can thank my Belle for your life, otherwise you would still be in my dungeon. Now if you don't mind, leave," Rumple said as Robin was about to say something, he felt a hand on his arm, looking down he saw it was Regina's.
"It's okay, I'll speak to him. Why don't you refill my drink?" Regina asked as Robin nodded and left them alone.
"An archer dearie, I'm shocked," Rumple said.
"At least it wasn't the help," Regina said looking over at Belle.
"I haven't forgotten that, just so you know," Rumple said as he thought of how Regina had kept Belle locked up.
"What do you want?" Regina asked.
"I just wanted to warn you again about Zelena, she's not going to be easy to stop," Rumple said.
"I will find a way to stop her, without your so called help," Regina said as she started to move away.
"Don't let your arrogance get in your way of this," Rumple said as he pulled her back to him.
"Get your hands off her!" Robin said as Robin pushed Rumple away from Regina.
"I knew I should have handled you way back when, but I let one weak moment stop me," Rumple said as he walked off.
"Are you alright?" Robin asked as he turned to look at Regina.
"He's harmless, don't worry about me," Regina said.
"Too late, I already do," Robin said as they went over to the couch to sit, sorta away from the rest of the group. They sat for awhile before Robin got up to refill their drinks once more, he had refilled them and was heading back when he ran into David. David wanted to show him a new crossbow he wanted to give to Robin and his men to use, they went into another room, while they were gone Rumple came up to where their drinks were and poured a little vial into Regina's.
"Let's see how you handle Robin now, your majesty," Rumple said as he smiled and left the drinks, a few seconds later Robin came back and got their drinks and went and sat back with Regina, handing her drink back to her.
"So what did you and David have to discuss?" Regina asked as she had seen David and Robin talking.
"He gave me some more weapons to defend our camp as need be," Robin said.
"You could always come into town. It might be easier for you and your men," Regina said.
"Our place is in the woods, so what should we drink to," Robin said.
"How about, to finally having our drink?" Regina asked as they clinked drinks and both took a drink.
"So now that we have that out of the way," Robin said as Regina just raised an eyebrow.
"I want to get to know you milady, if you would permit me to do so," Robin said.
"What do you want to know?" Regina asked being coy on purpose, pausing to take another drink.
"Well for starters, are the men here blind or?" Robin asked.
"Well, when you have done as many bad things as I have, it's not that easy on the dating circuit," Regina said.
"But that's not you anymore," Robin said.
"No, but that doesn't change anything," Regina said as suddenly she felt awfully hot, until a few moments ago she had been quite comfortable but not now.
"Are you alright?" Robin asked noticing she seemed uncomfortable now.
"Yeah, it's just hot in here," Regina said.
"Would you like to go out on the fire escape?" Robin asked.
"No. It looks like the meeting is about over so, I think I'm going to head home," Regina said as she stood up to leave.
"Let me escort you back home," Robin said as they both said their goodbyes, getting a few looks from the others as they headed towards the door. Tink just winked as they walked by her, and left the apartment building.
"Feel better?" Robin asked as they walked on the sidewalk.
"Yes, much better," Regina said even though she was still feeling hot, as they continued to walk and talk. When they were a few blocks from Regina's house, all of a sudden she felt an ache in her loins, as if a fire started.
"Ohhh," Regina said stopping in her tracks and bending over slightly.
"What's wrong?" Robin asked putting his hand on her arm.
"I need to get home," Regina said as the ache intensified, she bit the inside of her mouth trying not to let a moan out.
"Do you need a doctor? I can take you to the hospital," Robin said.
"No! There's no need, I just neeeed," Regina moaned out as the ache was almost unbearable now. She started to walk to her house when she had only taken a few steps and almost went to her knees.
"Regina, something is wrong. Let me help you," Robin said as he scooped her up into his arms.
"Just take me home, please," Regina said as he did as they was almost to her house when a gust of smoke appeared, it was Rumple.
"Enjoying your evening dearie?" Rumple asked with an amused grin on his face.
"Get out of here dark one," Robin said holding his precious cargo.
"Is something wrong with her majesty?" Rumple asked as Regina just moaned again.
"She's sick, now move," Robin said.
"It's not a sickness, not yet anyways," Rumple said with a giggle.
"What did you do Gold?" Regina asked.
"Lets just say I gave you a taste of your own medicine. Are you still enjoying your drink your majesty? It has some rather stimulating affects doesn't it?" Rumple asked.
"You did this," Regina said, glaring at him now.
"Enjoy your evening your majesty," Rumple said as he disappeared.
"What did he do to you? Did he put something in your drink?" Robin asked.
"It doesn't matter, just get me into my house," Regina said as he took her into her house and walked to her living room and carefully placed her on her couch.
"Thank you Robin, you may leave now," Regina said as she curled up into a ball on the couch.
"I'm not leaving you like this, tell me what is wrong with you and how I can help," Robin said as he kneeled down beside her, he put his hand on her forehead, but she didn't feel hot.
"Robin I can take care of it, you don't have to worry. I'm sure your men need you in your camp," Regina said as she wanted nothing more than to put her hand between her legs for some relief.
"You need me now, tell me what to do. What did the dark one put in your drink?" Robin asked.
"An aphrodisiac," Regina said finally.
