Frenemies

When Emma woke up next Monday morning all she could think about was Regina. How did she know her move? Emma couldn't figure out why and it irritated her beyond.

"Breakfast!", her mother's voice was heard like every morning and Emma got out of bed, getting ready. Once done she walked down the stairs, seeing the rest of her family sitting by the table.

"Good morning sweetheart, how are you feeling?"

"Fine I guess", Emma answered shortly and Mary Margaret sighed turning to her husband who gave her a soft smile.

"Remember we are proud of you Emma. We always will be", David said trying to ease the tension and Emma looked at her father as she put a pancake on her plate.

"I know"

The tension was eased a bit but it wasn't enough. "Hey Em, principal Fields called me earlier this morning, telling me she wants to speak with us the moment we arrive at school", Emmett suddenly said and Emma looked at him, a blush suddenly taking over.

"Oh okay. Did she say what it's about?", she asked taking a bite of her pancake with berries and Emmet smiled.

"Something about two new students"

Emma nodded thinking about it before turning back to her breakfast. "When is the doctors appointment?", she asked turning to her mother and Mary Margaret smiled.

"Only in next week, so you have a little time to prepare yourself", she said and Emma nodded.

"Well there's nothing to prepare myself for. I know what I want. I know who I want to be", she said and the three others could see the determination in the youngest family member.

"Have you thought of a name?", David asked curiously and Emma looked at her father. Had she been thinking of another name before Emmett died in the future? She only named herself that because Emmett passed. But if she succeeds her mission and Emmett survives, she needed to find a name.

"I'm still thinking about it. For now Emma is fine I guess"

Her parents smiled proudly while Emmett looked at her with pride in his eyes.

"Ruby! Please tell me you have a smoke", Emma begged when she saw Ruby standing by the tree and the brunette smiled giving her one. Emma lightened it and let out a deep sigh of relief once she had inhaled.

"What's wrong? You only smoke when life is at your throat", Ruby asked and Emma turned to her taking a deep breath.

"We were just talking about my transition at breakfast"

Ruby nodded inhaling. She of course knew Emma's secret about changing gender. She had known since preschool. And she knew it was still a sore subject for the blonde.

"What did they say?", she asked and Emma inhaled deep.

"My doctors appointment. About my new name"

"Have you found one?"

Emma sighed shaking her head and Ruby nodded looking down at her feet. The bell rung and the two girls threw their smokes before walking inside.

"I'm gonna go to principal Fields' office. Emmett told me she wanted us there", Emma said once they reached their lockers and Ruby frowned at her.

"Really? What for?"

"Something about two new students"

Ruby nodded watching her best friend as she left. Emma walked down the hallway and reached the office, seeing Emmett standing by the secretary's desk.
