The sun stood tall over New York City when Emma heard her alarm go off and she groaned out rolling over in her bed, hitting the alarm hard making it stop. She groaned rolling over and immediately went back to sleep. Some minutes later her phone started it's own alarm and she jumped up in bed as she heard it so close to her ear. She must have fallen asleep on top of it.
"Ugh! Stupid phone!", she said as she took it and stopped the alarm only to see the time. Her eyes went wide and she quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom to get a shower.
"Shit!", she cursed when she almost tripped and she quickly took a shower when she suddenly heard her phone ring.
"For fuck sake. Alexa, answer the call", Emma said and the machine answered.
"Answering the call from, Rubes"
Just my luck
"Hi Rubes", the blonde said in the shower and she heard her friend Ruby's voice in the speakers in the shower.
"Em, where the hell are you?! Comic con is about to op– are you in the shower?"
"Sorry Rubes, I slept over", she answered her friend and quickly got out of her shower.
"Of course you did. Look I'm on my way over to your apartment right now and if you're not ready within ten minutes, I'm driving without you"
"See ya Rubes. Alexa, hang up"
"Hanging up", the machine said.
"Are yours seriously using that bitc—", the phone call ended and Emma chuckled. She knew how much Ruby hated her new helper, Alexa. But she was Emma's big love and Ruby just had to live with it. A few minutes later, Emma was standing in front of her mirror, a long black dress, hugging her body perfectly. She smiled as she let her hair fall to the side.
Maybe a ponytail will do
Once the ponytail was made, she took her phone and walked out of her apartment, locking the door and she immediately saw Ruby's car standing waiting. She smiled and ran to the car getting inside.
"Hey Rubes, I'm– aw!", she was stopped as she felt a hit to her shoulder. "What the hell was that for?!"
"You made that bitch hang up on me", the tall brunette said and Emma raised her hands in defense.
"I'm sorry, but I was in the shower and I was wet. I couldn't touch my phone"
Ruby chuckled and shook her head as she started the car. "Em, you're always wet, but you still take the phone"
"That was one time!", Emma defended and Ruby raised an eyebrow.
"No no, if you wanna answer your phone while you're doing a girl, then that's completely up to you", Ruby said and Emma frowned at her before pulling out her phone.
"Are we meeting the others over there?", she asked and Ruby nodded.
"Yeah, I told them we would meet them by the entrance. We're not sure how long the line will be but let's take it when we get there"
Emma nodded and heard a text message being received. She looked down and immediately groaned, making Ruby look in pure curiosity. "Damn, is that Lily?"
"Yeah, she keeps sending me text about meeting up and... you know...", she trailed off and Ruby chuckled shaking her head.
"Well, it's your life, not mine", she said and Emma looked through her snapchat. Suddenly her eyes widened and hit Ruby's arm several times, making the girl frown.
"What what what? What's wrong?"
Emma showed the phone and a video was showing of the line at the comic con and none other than Regina Mills was greeting the fans.
"DRIVE!", Emma yelled and Ruby drove as fast as she could, or was allowed to. Not even two minutes later, they were at the parking lot and was so lucky to find a parking space.
"If I get a speeding ticket, you're paying half of it", Ruby said as they quickly got out of the car.
"Yeah yeah, come on", Emma answered and they ran towards the entrance while Emma called Belle.
"Belle? Yeah, we just parked, we're on our way right now", Emma said into the phone and they reached some stairs running up through people who were walking quietly.
"Excuse me, important people coming through", Ruby yelled and Emma nodded in the phone.
"What? Belle I can't hear you"
"Hello Emma", a familiar voice said and Emma stopped in her tracks. Ruby sensed her friend's absence and turned around to see her standing completely frozen.
"Em! Come on!", she yelled in the crowd and Emma looked at her with wide eyes, open mouth.
"It's her"
"What?", Ruby asked confused and Emma kept staring at her.
"I've been told to say you and your friend should hurry"
Emma almost screamed as she heard the woman's voice and Ruby got more and more confused.
"Bye Emma"
The call was cut out and Emma stood staring at her phone in pure shock. "What just happened?", Ruby asked and Emma suddenly screamed out.
"IT WAS HER! IT WAS HER RUBES! OH MY GOD!"
"Who Emma?! Who was it?!"
"REGINA. FUCKING. MILLS! I WAS TALKING TO FUCKING REGINA FUCKING MILLS!"
Ruby widened her eyes and jumped up and down with her best friend as they screamed.
"Come on guys, the meet and greet is almost starting", Belle said as they walked inside and they all ran to the line, and to their big surprise it was long. Very long. They knew already now that it would be at least two hours before it could be their turn.
"Come on", Ruby said and they walked to the line, immediately sitting down onto the floor.
"This is going to take forever", Belle said and Ruby nodded turning to Killian who sat and stared at Emma.
"Hey guyliner! I didn't know you were watching ONCE?", Ruby asked and Killian turned to her.
"Aye, I do"
While the they all sat and talked for the next hour, all Emma could think about was Regina's voice. Regina Mills saying her name. Regina Mills speaking to her over the phone. All her mind was on was Regina Mills. And before she knew it, it was almost their turn.
"Take out your belongings people. We're here", Ruby said and pulled out a book and a few papers. Emma took a deep breath and pulled out her own book and a few paper pieces along with a small box.
"It's gonna be okay Em. I know she'll love it", Ruby said smiling an assuring smile at her best friend and Emma looked up at her and smiled nervously.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah"
A few minutes later it was their turn and Belle and Killian went first along with Ruby and lastly Emma. They went through the other cast members from the show and they all got their autographs in their books and a few selfies and finally it was Regina as the last one.
Ruby could practically feel her friend's nervousness and she turned and gave an assuring smile squeezing her shoulder. "Yep that's her", they heard Belle's voice say and they turned to see Belle and Regina fucking Mills looking at them, a smile on the actresses face.
"So you are the famous Emma I spoke to on the phone earlier", the actress said with a big smile and Emma felt tears in her eyes as she met her idol for the first time. She had been waiting for years for this day and here she was.
"Hi", she said with a grunt and Ruby stood face palming herself while Belle and Killian snorted. Regina smiled and stood from her seat holding out her arms.
"Come on. I'm a hugger", she said and Emma immediately went forward wrapping her arms around the woman, and the tears ran freely.
"You're taller than I expected", Regina said and Emma couldn't help but laugh at that. She was almost a head taller than the brunette.
"I have something for you", she said with a shaky breath and Regina pulled back from the hug looking into the girl's eyes and she instantly fell in love with them. Sea green eyes and she knew she had a new weakness. Suddenly a box was in front of her and she gently shook her head looking down at it.
"What is this?", she asked and Emma shrugged, gaining some confidence.
"Why don't you open it and look"
Regina smirked and opened it, Emma biting her lip as she looked at her idol opening her present. The brunette gasped as she saw the golden necklace with a small feather. "It's beautiful", she whispered and Emma smiled at her.
"Really?"
"Yes, absolutely. Thank you so much Emma. I really appreciate it"
Emma smiled and bit her lip, Regina noticing the hesitation. "What is it?", she asked and Emma smiled taking a deep breath.
"Can I.. Uh.. Can I maybe ge-get a picture?", she asked and Regina nodded and smiled.
"Of course"
Emma smiled and pulled out her phone, holding it up in front of her. To her surprise, Regina came closer, her beautiful eyes looking into the camera and Emma smiled a closed smile as she took the picture. "Thank you", she said and Regina smiled nodded.
"Thank you for the necklace. I'm gonna cherish it and wear it as much as possible"
Emma smiled a true smile at her, and before she could stop herself, she laughed forward, hugging her idol tight once more. "Thank you. For saving my life over and over again"
