Regina watched as Eva practically flew, it did give her a little bit of joy but she kept it off her face. "Ms. Artis, I told you how dangerous those things are." When the girl started to curse her out, she stood right in her face.
"YOU EVIL PSYCHOTIC BITCH YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!"
"Excuse you, who the hell do you think you are talking too?" She postured right back, making sure the girl knew where she stood. "I take offense to that, Ms. Artis, I accidentally bumped into the wagon, when I tripped over a bump on the sidewalk and broke my heel." She straightened out her blazer and removed her now broken pump from her foot. The heel was now hanging off at the end, which would now corroborate her story.
"Now, if you are done screaming at me- are you okay?" A few people had gathered around, once Eva started to scream, she would have to keep up appearances.

"Now, if you are done screaming at me- are you okay?"
"Why do you want to finish the job!?" Eva said running her hands through her hair.
The gall of that woman, Eva did not believe for a second that she had broken a heel but to actually go ahead and break it to keep up appearances... That was kinda cool which she hated to admit but even the devil gets his due. Eva cared not for the people who had gathered around after she shouted at Madam Mills, nor did she care if she was vilifying herself in their eyes but a girl had to do what a girl had to do.
"God no wonder why Henry haaates you!" Eva threw emphasis on the word hates, "If I was him I'd run away to find a real Mum too!"

"God no wonder why Henry haaates you! If I was him I'd run away to find a real Mum too!" Regina was taken back slightly but she recovered quickly. Regina had met some demons in her day, but this girl took the cake. She needed a reminder of-of who Mayor Mills exactly was.
"You just crossed a line." Regina stepped into the girl's face, staring right into her eyes. "My personal life is none of your business. my son and his feelings towards me are also none of your business. I don't care if both of his birth parents find their way to my town, Henry belongs with me. I'm his mother, not her." She grabbed the skateboard from one of the residents before shoving against the girl's chest. "I can't be faulted for a heel breaking and sending decoration pumpkins every which way. I showed you proper concern and I get yelled at for it. So, I think I will be making a call to your parents tomorrow morning. We're going to discuss proper punishment for swearing at a public official and disturbing the peace. Unless you learn to speak to me properly in the next ten seconds. So Let's try this again, shall we?" Regina cleared her throat, "Are you okay, Ms. Artis?"

"You just crossed a line.""My personal life is none of your business. my son and his feelings towards me are also none of your business. I don't care if both of his birth parents find their way to my town, Henry belongs with me. I'm his mother, not her."
Ooooh she hit a nerve and for a split second Eva was positive Satan flashed in her eyes with enjoyment.
"I can't be faulted for a heel breaking and sending decoration pumpkins every which way. I showed you proper concern and I get yelled at for it. So, I think I will be making a call to your parents tomorrow morning. We're going to discuss proper punishment for swearing at a public official and disturbing the peace. Unless you learn to speak to me properly in the next ten seconds. So Let's try this again, shall we?""Are you okay, Ms. Artis?"
What was it about grown ups and thinking that calling ones parental units was such a huge threat. She still had no doubt that Regina had done it on purpose, there are just some faces you have an instant distrust of no matter how pretty they may be. She did believe that Mills would call her Father but he was no fan of hers and swears that he voted for the other person though he can't remember who that was. At worst she would get the 'Im not angry just disappointed speech.' which was excellent cause her Father wasn't angry. In fairness Eva was given the chance to make amends by 'speaking properly' whatever the hell that meant but in her mind Eva simply thought that this meant to piss her off just a little bit more before stopping. Eva snatched her skateboard from Mills as she rather forcefully slammed it into her chest. Loudly Eva cleared her throat before she begun to speak her piece.
"Yes, respectable Mayor Mills I'm fine." And that is where any sensible person would have left but but if an angsty teen was going to be accused of a crime she may as well commit it. "Or I was until Mangled Fud Mills..." Eva wasn't entirely sure what that meant but she had heard her Da yell it at the TV several times though. "...Decided that since her own kid want's nothing to do with her she was going to make all the others pay. Guess you were just destined to die alone, though I guess you could get some cats. I say some but I mean a lot. Oh and I hope they f**king eat your face after you die and there is no one to discover your body!"
Eva inwardly nodded to herself, yup that should do it.

"Yes, respectable Mayor Mills I'm fine." and that is where Regina was hoping the girl would keep it, but of course not. "Or I was until Mangled Fud Mills Decided that since her own kid want's nothing to do with her she was going to make all the others pay. Guess you were just destined to die alone, though I guess you could get some cats. I say some but I mean a lot. Oh and I hope they f**king eat your face after you die and there is no one to discover your body!" Regina was done with this whole situation, in fact, this girl was going to land herself in some serious trouble.
"Apparently I wasn't clear enough, so let me express just how much trouble you are in." Regina pulled out her phone, it was time to call the Sheriff. "I think a night in jail might be exactly what you need, maybe it will show you just how serious I was about you minding your own business." No one had dared talk to her like this before now, she was certain it was happening because of the clock tower. This didn't bode well but soon Ms. Swan would be going back to Boston and everything would go back to normal. "Sheriff, I need your assistance on Main street. We have a minor who will be spending the night in a cell, no bail." Closing her phone she turned to the crowd, half of them looked horrified and the others just looked amused; no respect from anyone.
One fireball and she would have them all cowering in fear- if she had that kind of magic here.
Regina moved back into Eva's personal space, leaning in so only they will here. "I run this town, you shouldn't have messed with me- Eva." She was going to make this girl pay, a slow agonizing and painful lesson. Perhaps she would have the good doctor label her as unstable? That would land her in the mental ward, one less princess to worry about in her town.
Not long after her little call, Sheriff Graham Humbert arrived. "Clear the area, go home." Graham cleared the area before making his way over to Regina. "So, tell me why I'm arresting this girl." Regina relayed the whole story to him and this did seem to fall under Causing a Disturbance. "Are you sure you want to-"
"What part of put this girl in jail didn't you understand? Clearly, she is unstable and in need of help. I'll have Doctor Hopper visit her in the morning and maybe he can find out just why she thought it a good idea to wish me dead. It the safety of herself and others I'm worried about. Call her parents and tell them she will be spending the night and they can pick her up in the morning."
"It's your call," Graham sighed and turned to Eva, "Are we going to have a problem or can I forgo the cuffs?"

"It's your call,""Are we going to have a problem or can I forgo the cuffs?"
"I-I-I'm way to young for you Sheriff." Eva's voice was shaky
What the hell just happened, like the actual hell? Shit just got super real super fast and Eva couldn't process how exactly this was all playing out. She was a kid, she couldn't go to prison, could she? No surely Mills was bluffing about it, surely? Though she was evil enough to go through with the threats. Why was she the victim here? She was just minding her own business when the evil cat lady tried to off her. This was one of the few times she was genuinely innocent, to begin with any way. First the Ruby, then the Bakery now this how on Earth was she getting caught at every turn today... Even when she wasn't doing anything wrong in the first place. She lowered her head and looked at her shoes, if she apologized the Sheriff may back off, but Mills wouldn't and it would be admitting defeat where as pushing was looking like a stupid idea and getting serious additions to her criminal record wasn't worth the personal win.
Eva let out a long sigh "It's Mayor Mill's call, but..." Eva did her best not to grit her teeth while lying during the next part "She might be on to something with me seeing Doctor Hopper."

"I-I-I'm way to young for you Sheriff." Still cracking jokes but she could see the girl had some concern about going to prison. "It's Mayor Mill's call, but...She might be on to something with me seeing Doctor Hopper."
"Enough Jokes, Eva, this is serious. Something like this goes on your Permanente record. Archie is a good guy and I'm sure you'll get a clean bill of health." Graham nodded his head at Regina.
"We can hope," Regina didn't trust this girl in the least, she was trying to play the innocent card and she was done. She had enough of snot-nosed princesses who thought they could get away with everything. Even in this world they still had that arrogance and it gave her pleasure to take it all away. "You will get all the help you need, Ms. Artis." As Graham escorted Eva towards the police car, Regina looked around at the remaining citizens. They looked at her with those judgemental eyes but she won this fight and it felt good. "I know what you are all thinking but I have no plans to press charges. Ms. Artis has been warned time and time again, this was a call for help and she will be getting that help. Doctor Hopper will be called in the morning and he will check on her mental stability." Leaving it at that, she hobbled off with her broken heel and sighed. These were some of her favorite shoes, she really didn't think this one through.
"Princesses," She muttered under her breath once she was clear from the commotion. She still wasn't sure if she would lock her up, she certainly wouldn't be the first to land in her secret prison. She grinned.

***Gabriella enters from Mr. Gold's Pawnbroker & Antiquities Dealer***
Gabriella had a car but didn't use it often as she preferred walking. The quaint town was small enough to get around on foot to most locations. However, after the day she'd had, she kind of wished she'd driven. She was exhausted, worn down, and worked up. It was one of those situations where she could probably benefit from a walk to give her time to think and cool down but at the same time, just wished she was home already.
As she approached the corner, so did a car. Gabriella paused to watch it to be sure it would wait at the stop sign for the pedestrian and when it did, she gave a distracted 'thanks' wave before tucking her hand back in her coat pocket, then stepped off the curb and started crossing the street. It was too dark to see who the shadowy figure was sitting in the car but since she wasn't particularly chummy with anyone, she didn't bother taking much of a look.

Gabriella had been up early and walking from business to business, making use of public announcement boards or clearing with the owner the posting of the fliers she'd printed when she'd gotten home late last night. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Will's Itty Bitty Wonderworld has suffered minor fire damage. William Robinson has been a kind and giving member of the community. Looking for volunteers who would like to show the same kind and giving spirit by helping with repairs and refurbishment so that he has a home and store to return to when released from hospital.
Costs are covered. Supplies and paints have been purchased. Additional tools and paint supplies would be helpful but it is your dedicated time and work that would be most appreciated.
Work to begin noon Friday and continue at all hours throughout the weekend until completed. Volunteers are welcome to report for whatever times are convenient.
Thank you.

Scarlet and her girls had a great time at the bar last night. Drank a bit, shot some pool and had an overall good time. Scarlet's internal clock had her up at her usual work hours, which sucked on her days off but what could a girl do? She messaged her friends and offered to meet up and head over to breakfast at Granny's.
'Great hangover cure, pancakes, eggs, bacon, and Coffee.'
A few of the ladies agreed and the others sent a middle finger emoji and other various cuss words. Three bikes roared to life down Main street, Scarlet, Noel, and Terri pulled into a single space by Granny's. Scarlet putting some money in one meter as Noel and Terri paid for two others. They often did this but only took one space so not to crowd the street.

***Elle enters from Storybrooke General Hospital***
Despite the fact she could feel her pushover counterpart working her way back to the surface, there was still a smile of pleasure on Elle's lips as she started down the sidewalk.
"That, my sweet little helpless counterpart, is how you take care of us," Elle said quietly under her breath.
Elle could feel Gabriella's protest even before Gabriella fully took back over.

Gabriella could hear Elle's voice echoing into the darkness.
"That, my sweet little helpless kitten, is how you take care of us."
***Gabriella takes back control***
Elle's comment helped Gabriella take back control out of the sheer stubborn need to put in her own two cents. She glanced around, taking her phone out of her pocket so anyone watching would assume she was reading something to herself rather than talking to herself like a complete loon.
"I'm not helpless," she muttered. "I had it under control. There are far better ways to have dealt with that situation."
Elle's gratified reply echoed in Gabriella's head, fading with each word. 'You can't deny you liked it. I can feel it. You and I, we're the same person.'
Gabriella had heard and felt the smugness in Elle's claims. She would have denied it but Elle had purposefully tucked herself good and away to avoid hearing it. Gabriella had been just under the surface during the whole ordeal, observing. It bothered Gabriella that Elle wasn't completely wrong. She frowned down at her phone before tucking it back into her pocket.

The sounds of motorcycles could be heard once again, several engines coming to a halt just outside.
Kathy, Dani, and Dakota squeeze their bikes into a spot. Much like Scarlet, Noel, and Terri- they paid for a couple spots in turn before heading into granny's.

*** Vanessa enters from Storybrooke General Hospital ***
Vanessa was still furious when she walked up the street outside of the hospital. Never had she met with such an amount of incompetency at just one place. Oh well, but then again, Storybrooke was full of incompetent people, so what had she expected? Actually, she even didn't know why she had never left to the city for living the life she really deserved; where people adored her instead of scoffing at her. Vanessa was sure though there were still more people even here in Storybrooke who adored her than daring to scoff at her. But this whole matter would be secondary soon anyway when she didn't find a way to get help with this current problem.
As she passed a place she never had been staying at before, Vanessa suddenly stopped her angry steps. The Rabbit Hole? That was sounding like a really filthy place, but then again, right now she was needing a drink more than anything else. And so she headed for the door, naturally ignoring the closed sign above it, to get herself what she deserved right this moment. A god damn drink early in the morning.

*** Mr. Gold enters from Storybrooke Country Bread ***
A satisfied smile, its nature not exactly distinguishable, was playing around his lips while he walked up the street, serving with the unusual image of being a generous volunteer. There might be fresh sandwiches in the bags he was carrying, but they weren't flavored with altruism for sure. But then again, a man of business was just taking action when an opportunity arose. It was on time to spruce up his image a little bit. There might come times when it could be of use. Well, who knew...

*Ruby enters from Granny's Diner*
In her haste to escape the dose of reality being rammed down her throat by her well-meaning co-worker, her destination hadn't registered. In fact, it wasn't until she was halfway down the street that Ruby realized exactly where she was heading....and who was at that location.
Gail was never going to let her live this one down.
The street was fairly empty, most of the residents of the sleepy town being at work or otherwise occupied at this time of day. This was good, as it meant that halting mid-sidewalk wouldn't cause a pile up. And halt she did- so suddenly that she could feel the hot coffee slosh inside it's container.
The hell with this. There was no way she was stepping foot inside that store. Not when she had been doing such a bang up job of avoiding Kitt so far. But Granny would kill her if the coffee didn't make it to its intended stop. A quick scan down the street gave Ruby the answer she needed.

***Charlie enters from Granny's Diner***
Charlie stuffed the money deep into her hoodie pocket as she quickly descended the few stairs and took off at a fast walk down the walkway. Thinking again how worried Ruby had seemed doubled her own worry. Ruby had always been the one to tell her she was being way too cautious and way too worrisome; that nobody would care nor notice someone dropping by to make a delivery. She didn't think 'worry' was even in Ruby's repertoire.
Now suddenly there was something to worry about? She listened for the chime of the little bell of the diner door that would announcement someone had opened it. Her quick thinking was telling her to go the opposite direction of her intended destination so that should anyone follow, which was just crazy to think about but just to be safe, should they, she should lead them away from the safe haven of her bakery. And don't run. It only pulled more attention. So in a continued fast walk, Charlie made plans to turn the opposite direction of the bakery when she reached the end of the walkway just to be safe. For now, she silently pleaded that the chime of the diner door wouldn't follow her.
Just two more steps until she cleared the walkway and she'd be convinced she and Ruby had overreacted.

*** Walter enters from Granny's Diner ***The distant toll of the diner's doorbell would spoil it for him but maybe the girl was still close enough to get caught and somehow involved in a conversation. If Walter had been taking his time to think about this rationally, he probably would have questioned his hasty actions. How could one explain himself about tracking someone down in the middle of the main street? There was a lot that the special status of being a detective could excuse but there were limits even for that. But again, this was no rational thing. And then Walter saw her, being only a few steps away from disappearing out of his eyesight.
Without thinking twice, he hurried after her, a determined look on his face.

Charlie reached the end of the path and just as the sense of relief was starting to ease her tension, the little bell tinkled its announcement of the door opening. Her heart began racing again and as she turned at the end of the path, she turned her head slightly and chanced a peak, using the backs of her fingers to push the blonde locks spilling forward from her hoodie out of her eyesight, hoping to see that it was not one of the two people at the booth that Ruby seemed to have been worried about, but Ruby herself following her to tell her she'd overreacted and that everything was okay.
But luck wasn't on her side. It was the man that Ruby had been worried about. Though he didn't call out to her, his sights were glued on her. The sheer determination on his features panicked her anew. As soon as she took the next step that hid her from view of the pathway, Charlie started to run, hoping that the man wouldn't realize she was running until he cleared the path, which would give her a good head start.

Just as expected, the hooded girl started running once she'd realized that Walter was following her. As if the fact that she was hiding her face under a hood hadn't been suspicious enough already. But then again, if he'd seen the look on his face himself, he probably would have understood. He didn't seem like someone who just wanted to have a friendly chat but instead like someone who was chasing a person out of justified reasons.
"Ma'am, please! I just want to have a word with you!", Walter called out to her when she was about to slip away his view.
Although he was falling more and more behind, he tried to keep track and continue his run along the pathway, not bothering the looks from anyone around. Since it was still early in the morning, there weren't a lot of people outside at least.

***Gabriella enters from Storybrooke General Hospital***
Gabriella was still grinning when she made her way to the sidewalk and as she crossed the street. Her smile faded and her quick steps slowed when she neared the curb and found an obstruction waiting for her on the sidewalk, casually leaning on his cane with his usual smug look in place. She'd been too distracted looking left and right whilst crossing to have noticed him standing there, otherwise, she would very well have altered her path. It was too late now. "Bloody hell," she muttered under her breath as she took the final few steps to the curb.
Considering his sight was unwaveringly set on her, she easily gathered that it was she he'd been waiting for and that altering her path would only have delayed this inevitable meeting. "And here I thought it was going to be a good day," she said dryly, crossing her arms with an impatient 'what do you want' expression on her face.

Mr. Gold had been waiting there for a while already, knowing her schedule all too well, especially now that she had no longer work to do with the renovations of the toy shop, which also meant that she might have to be reminded of her work for him. A pleasant, somewhat sly smile was playing around his lips when he finally saw Gabriella entering the street.
"And here I thought it was going to be a good day,"
"Good morning, Miss Stevenson," he greeted her in his usual friendly way, or so it seemed, without even reacting to her words. "You don't mind if I walk you a little ways, do you?" This might be a question, yet everyone knew that questions getting asked by Mr. Gold were more like a friendly way to tell somebody what he would do anyway, permission given or not. And so he already made himself ready to go next to her.

Feigning the same friendliness, Gabriella put on a smile that contradicted her response. "I would, actually." But seeing as she didn't really have a choice, she simply continued on with a sweetly spoken, "Shall we?" as she gestured toward the path before them. Casually observing the two of them, anyone outside of earshot might assume they were having a friendly visit. But if one took the time to look closely and study their mannerisms, they might deduce differently, particularly if they took note of Gabriella's stiffness and the fact that her smile did not reach her eyes.
Gabriella fell into step beside him. "Let me guess. You're here to offer me a 'friendly reminder'?" It was the only conclusion she could come to. She had no idea of anything else that may have transpired in regards to her since she'd last seen him.

"Let me guess. You're here to offer me a 'friendly reminder'?"
Mr. Gold smiled. "Don't get me wrong. I appreciate your cooperativeness in that toy shop dilemma. But I also would appreciate some more cooperativeness regarding what you do for me. It has been a while since I heard back from your... adventures," he added with a sly grin. Anything could be make sound better with the right wording. "Found anything interesting lately?" Anyone observing them would still get the picture of a friendly chat with all the feigned smiling coming from him.

At his continued games, Gabriella dropped the false smiles to glance at him with slightly narrowed eyes. He seemed to know her every move and he knew she knew as he was always making it a point that she knew. "You know I haven't. I can't very well be in two places at once now, can I? I may be of two minds, Mr. Gold, but they are occupying the same space," she explained snarkily as she gestured at herself lengthwise.
Realizing she'd stooped to playing along with his petty games, Gabriella sighed and turned serious, patting the large satchel of heavy supplies, the action creating a muffled metalic sound. "I'm heading out right now, as I'm sure your clever little mind has deduced." 'Be the bigger person, Gabriella,' she chastised herself. There was something about Mr. Gold that so easily set her off. If she wanted to gain any form of resolution or end to his hold over her, she had to behave.
Gabriella schooled her features and tried to tackle this like a business arrangement. "Look. I'm fully dedicated to this task now. I have no social life and I've given up my only regularly scheduled engagement," she said, not detailing what that engagement was as it was none of Mr. Gold's business, though he seemed to know many things that weren't his business. Though she had yet to inform the person whose business it actually was. Gabriella was avoiding informing Dr. Lee of her choice, knowing he wouldn't be happy and would probably try to talk her out of it. Probably best to not avoid talking to him for too long as she also had that mortifying misunderstanding with Dr. Hopper to inform him of so they could clear him before Dr. Hopper had any ideas of reporting any inappropriate doctor/patient behavior.
Making a mental note to reach out to Dr. Lee soon, Gabriella put her mind back on her current problem. "I'm on a long holiday from work, only on-call for emergencies, which is very rare in our quiet little town, so I don't foresee any other interruptions."
Gabriella stopped to face him now. "What will free me of this 'adventure'?," she asked with air quotes, using his word for it, a bit of her snark sneaking back in. "Is there something specific you're looking for or am I to continue until I've excavated all of Storybrooke?"

***Vlad and Emma enter from Granny's Diner***
The morning sun blared down onto the sidewalk that Vlad and Emma walked out onto, with only a few other by passers on their way to either work or morning engagements. He squinted slightly through his glasses until his eyes slowly adjusted to the light. He reached up to nonchalantly loosen his collar a little by undoing a button or two, as the sun had made him feel unusually uncomfortable the past few days. He simply figured that he was just cooped up in his office for too long that he wasn't used to being outside for longer periods than going from home to his office.
"The toy shop is just in this direction if we-," Vlad turned to point Emma in the direction they were supposed to go to find their first stop, until he became interrupted by the sight of a couple of people in the distance coming in their direction. Vlad squinted though his lenses for a moment to make sure his eyes hadn't been deceiving him, "-...Oh bullocks," Vlad uttered lightly under his breath. Gabriella and Mr. Gold...but why on Earth were they walking together? Was this the circumstance in which Elle had tried to hint at him about? Whatever it was, Gold preferred to keep it under wraps, which Vlad finds even more suspicious. Vlad turned to Emma and shrugged his shoulders, "Well, here comes your new landlord now. Something to check mark off of your to-do list perhaps?" Vlad suggested, he was a little anxious to see Gabriella outside of the office especially with the last session with her being a total bust. He hadn't heard from her since then, but he figured he was about to now as they came closer and closer.

"The toy shop is just in this direction if we--... Oh bullocks. Well, here comes your new landlord now. Something to check mark off of your to-do list perhaps?"
Emma followed Vlad's gaze and noticed Gold and Gabriella a little further up the road. "I dunno, looks like a pretty intense conversation," she remarked, though everything about the antiques dealer seemed to have a degree of intensity. Like telling her that she was going to 'win' her fight with Regina within the first few minutes of meeting him. And of course, she couldn't help but recall Gail's remark about Gabriella being one of the many in town that had found themselves indebted to Gold.
"So how long have you been practicing here?" Emma asked, curious if Vlad's memory seemed as hazy as everyone else. "Did you see a 'Hypnotherapist Wanted' ad in the London Times?"
