Fandom: Once Upon A Time
Rating: R
Word Count: 2,603
Characters/Pairings: Emma/Regina, Regina/Ruby
Summary: Emma had a strange dream and an even stranger waking.
"What do you want to name him?" Regina asked, giving Emma a subtle push to greet the animal.
Emma walked up to the horse, which stared at her as placidly as a newborn kitten. She reached her hand out and the horse butted its head against it, eagerly letting Emma rub its mane. "I don't know… what do you call something you just want to ride all day?"
"Graham?" the Queen submitted.
"No…"
"Yes, you're right. That's more a name for a dumb beast. Our little lady is clearly smart. To be kept protected and concealed from prying eyes, but brought out often for our enjoyment. How about… Belle?"
"Belle?" Emma nodded. "I like it!"
"So does she, I think," the Queen said, watching as Belle tossed her mane. "Well, every Belle I've ever known has been fond of beasts. Perhaps your horse equally enjoys being one."
