"Who's this again?" Regina asked Henry as she invited us inside and sat down at the table that looked like she'd clearly made herself.
"Mum-" Henry began.
"Don't call me mum" she snapped at him.
Henry sighed, he looked hurt. "This is Brooke; she's my girlfriend"
Her eyes widened. "Aren't you a bit young for all that?"
I couldn't help but chuckle. "No, we're both 16, it's fine"
Henry nodded.

"Hm" was all Regina said in response. She clearly doesn't think much of us, especially since Henry is trying to convince her that he's her son.
"Do you even have any proof that you're my son?"
"I'm from a place called Storybrooke" Henry began.
Regina scoffed. "Storybrooke?"
"Yes. Back there you were my adopted mother after my real mum gave me up at birth; her name's Emma."
Regina looked at Henry completely and utterly confused.
"I'm telling the truth! I swear!"
Regina rolled her eyes.

Henry then fumbled around for Isaac's book. "Here" he slammed it on her table. "Look at this"
Regina and I both looked over at the book as Henry found the page he wanted to show her.
"It says here I'm going on a robbery... how did you know that?!" she asked him.
"I'm telling you! I am your son and I can help you get your happy ending!"
She laughed as if it was a joke. "My happy ending? What on Earth are you talking about?"
"Look just please listen to us and help get all the heroes their happy endings back" I tried to explain.
Regina stood up. "I don't believe a single word of this" she began to run out of her hiding hole and didn't hesitate to follow her suit.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Henry called out.
"Away from you two!"
"Please! We want to help you!"
"We want to help you have a chance at love again!" I said.
She stopped and turned around. "What?"
"Robin Hood." Henry said for me.
Regina scoffed. "Please, the only thing Robin will get from me if we ever meet is a bleeding nose"
"What?" I asked.
She stepped closer to me. "He's my competition!"
Henry and I looked at each other in horror. "No! That's not right!" I said.
"Whatever." Regina said, she turned around and began to run faster, fast enough so we couldn't catch her even if we tried. "Now leave me alone!"
