What Else Could Go Wrong?

Chapter 1

Regina laid there in bed with her eyes still closed, not wanting to get up yet. It had been a long day yesterday and she was still wanting a few more minutes of sleep. She turned over to snuggle into her wife for a bit more warmth. As she reached out, she found a cold empty spot. Cracking a peak, the bed was empty and looked as though it had not been slept in. She looked around quite confused, not knowing where her wife was, she got up and walked to the bathroom. She looked in the in the mirror and gasped. Her hair that was normally down past her shoulder, was now cut as it was during the curse. As if trying to figure out what was happening, she reached up to touch her hair. While doing so she noticed that her wedding ring was not on her finger.

She ran some water and splashed it on her face, as if to wake her up from this dream. When she dried her face, she was still in the same spot. Her mind was racing. Was this another curse? Was there a magical incident of some kind?

She quickly got dressed into one of her old suits seeing as none of her current things where in the closet. What pained her more was that none of Emma's things where in the closet. This couldn't be reality. Surly, this is all one of Emma's elaborate pranks. However, she will kill her for cutting her hair. She decided to go down stairs and eat, since she was alone in the house with Emma vanished and Henry away at college. She thought it would be nice to eat all of the blonde's chocolate cereal. That would teach her to try pulling a prank on her.

But, as she reached the kitchen, there was a small boy sitting at the island eating and flipping through Henry's storybook. As she looked closer to the back of the head, it was a 10-year-old Henry. "Henry?" She asks not sure if she wants to know if that really is her son.

"Morning." He says coldly.

Okay so there must have been some magical incident where we were all sent back in time. But, why was she the only one who seemed to remember. Henry hadn't been that cold to her since the curse and right there after it was broken. If she was then only one who was sent back and remembered, is the before or after the curse? Or better question is this before or after Emma came to town?

She looks at the clock on the microwave and sees that Henry has 15 minutes before school starts. "Come on Henry. You'll be late for school. I'll drive you."

Henry hops down from the stool and places the bowl in the sink before rushing past Regina to get out of the door. Regina follows to the car and hates reliving this over again. She hated when Henry hated her. But she is fairly sure that this is before the curse is broken.

On the way to school she made several attempts to talk to Henry but he wasn't having it. So, the car remained silent. Once he was out to school, she stopped by Granny's to grab some breakfast. Everyone was just how she remembered them in the curse. And she saw Graham alive and well, so maybe he doesn't have to die this time. That is if Emma remembers. She takes a look at the paper and notices the date, October 22. Its Emma's birthday. This is the day that Henry runs away to Boston. She has got to find a way to see if Emma will remember the past 10 years that hasn't happened yet. If not, she is going to have to play along and keep up the evil queen act.

She got to City Hall in record time. Staying in her car for a few minutes she decides the best thing to do is to pull out her phone and call the number that she has had memorized for the better part of 10 years.

IN BOSTON

Emma woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She looks at the caller I.D. and notices it says unknown. She places it back down wanting to get a few more minutes of sleep. As she turns over, she notices that this is not her bedroom. Or at least not the one she fell asleep in. She sits bolt upright in bed and quickly grabs her phone.
