What About Last Night

Resolutions

A/N I do not claim to know the law or any of the workings of it so forgive me if I'm not accurate in any aspect of it. I'm going to very briefly mention a few things about it but that's all. Thx.

A big beefy cop was taking each of the college students' statements one by one. As he got done with all of them he gave them both good and bad news, "Okay people, now that I have talked to each of you we're going to find Mrs. Mills, ummm Cora and bring her in."

Two Months Later

Regina and Emma had started school again, Regina had switched her major from Business to Graphic Arts, extending her college career by two years. The dark haired beauty and her blonde girlfriend had moved in together in a sizable house close to the university. Belle and Ruby temporarily mourned the loss of their dorm mate, however they celebrated the fact that their friends were very happy with each other. They continued to get together and throw parties, generally at Regina and Emma's place with Killian in tow along with his new girlfriend Milah, who he met on an emergency call. Mal had made up her 'failed' courses and graduated, going on to law school at Oxford. It was discovered that the professor that had flunked her was on Cora's "payroll". She intends to keep an eye on Robin while she's in the UK, who was sent back to his home country by his father per Regina's request, under the condition that he doesn't return to the state of Maine or get in contact with his ex ever again. As for Cora, her trial had just begun and she was being held without bail due to her numerous dubious "business" acquisitions and associates plus her high flight risk status. Regina, Graham, Mr. Hopper among others were going to be called to the stand to testify against her.

Several Months Later

All in all, things were on the upswing for the group of friends, it was the end of the Fall semester and Emma and Regina decided to throw a celebratory party of that fact.

The newly purchased furniture had been pushed to the walls in the spacious living area to make room for all the people who were coming to the get together and for dancing if guests chose to do so. Regina and her girlfriend were casually standing in a corner of the living room conversing with Ruby as Belle went to the foyer to answer the door.

"So, how glad are you guys that the semester is finally over? My last final was a bitch but I passed.", Ruby let out a deep sigh, taking a swig of her unique concoction she had started drinking at parties as of late.

Emma responded first with exuberance, "I know I'm beyond happy that it's over, my Art History class was a pain in my ass!"

Regina watched the blonde with interest, then inquired, "What was hard about it dear? You have never really told me what it entailed."

Just as Emma opened her mouth to explain, Belle strode up to the group with Neal, August, Killian and Milah following behind them, "Hello ladies, are you enjoying yourselves? Now that I'm here it's bound to get loads better!" The paramedic announces with a gleaming smile as he throws his arm around his girlfriend's slender waist.

Belle slipped her arm through Ruby's, as she rested her head on the taller woman's upper arm, adding a comment directed at Killian, "You do liven a party up, that's for sure."

A wide and loving smirk crept across his visage, "Thanks love. Milah, would you like a drink? I'm betting they have some rum in the kitchen." Turning his brunette head away from her, he confirmed it with the owners. "Am I right ladies?"

"Of course we do, we did know you were coming." Regina sarcastically acknowledged.

Letting out a boisterous laugh he excused himself, leaving Milah with the two couples as his fellow paramedics trailed behind him. "So I see that you two are getting a little serious, am I right?" Ruby directed the question to the newest member of the group.
