Why does fate intertwine me with you?

Who needs a potion when you have Henry Mills?

Henry's POV

Come on, bell...ring!! I need to leave this place NOW!! Ugh! Why does school have to last so long? I'm currently here in Snow White's class, half listening to her, half falling off my seat for the bell to ring. Which is taking forever as you might have guessed.

Hmm...I wonder if I could borrow the bell that Rumplestiltskin likes....

-ding- -ding- -ding- -ding- -ding-

O-O

YES!! Finally!

I exit the classroom in a flash and run straight to my mom's car, which is parked out the front as per usual.

Regina's POV

I'm waiting in my Mercedes Benz for my darling boy when I hear the bell ring. Cursed thing it is. Keeping my son away from me for so many hours. I should have home schooled him, however I thought it in his best interest that he get his best chance. And that was at school.

The door opens up wide now, and out appears my son beaming at me with his cute little face. He plonks his bag in the back seat and jumps in next to me.

"Hi Mom!" I hear him say.

"Hello dear. How was school?Did you have fun with your friends?" I ask curiously.

"Yeah. I guess. It was cool. Hey Mom. Can we invite Emma for dinner? We haven't talked together in ages."

I freeze for a moment. All that I can hear is a ringing silence.

What do I do? I cannot let my son down, but... I don't want Ms. Swan there, especially since we have our minds linked and can hear every word I am saying including right now...oh.

Yes..."Oh". So what's wrong Gina?

Don't you ever call me that again. Understood?

Yes...So! What's up?

Nothing is up, Ms. Swan. Everything is fine.

Didn't sound like that to me though. Sounded more like you were having a meltdown.

No I was not. Go back to whatever you were doing.

You mean driving to your house?

Excuse me?!

Henry already invited me. Plus he left his jacket here from last week. I've been meaning to give it to him, but it was so dirty I just had to clean it before I returned it.

You may give it to him, then leave. Understood?

Bye, Regina!

Ms. Swan, no! Answer me!!

...no response.

Henry's POV

"Damn you! Why?!" I suddenly hear my mom shout.

I jump at the sudden shout. Mom never swears. EVER. What happened? We weren't even talking to each other when she said it. So why did...?

"Henry. I appologise for my rude behaviour. I was completely out of line. Can you forgive me?" She turns in her chair and says to me.

"Um...y-yeah. Of course mom!" I reply. "But why did you say that stuff? Do you not want Emma to come over?"

I should have told her I already invited her. Now she's going to lose it at Ma, and I will be in some serious trouble with the both of them. When is that potion going to work? Maybe it was a dud. Ugh so not fair!

Through my thoughts I hear my mom trying to talk to me. "...Emma and I don't exactly get on with each other. Henry, I don't want that woman in your life, but it has now become imminant she is. I will accept that, but only to a degree. House dinners are not what I have in mind. Do you understand?"

Its now or never...

"Um...well. Yeah, mom. I do. But I kinda already invited her and she said yes. So..." I wait in silence, not knowing what to say next.

Mom sighs, making a cringing face as if it pains her to do this; which it probably does. "She can attend this dinner." I smile, happiness overflowing my emotions. "But only this one time, okay? I don't want it to be a regular event." She says, starting the car finally and driving off to our house.
