“It’s me again. I know you’re only supposed to answer the pure of heart and mama says I’m a bad girl. But no matter what I do, mama still isn’t happy. I’ve been trying really really hard, but nothing works. So I hoped that maybe you can help me by granting my wish.

I just want to be good, Miss Fairy, so that people will like me. Maybe if you make me good, mama won’t be mad anymore and she’ll let me play with the other kids. They look like fun but they always run away from me, ‘cos they’re scared of mama.

All I want is a friend, Miss Fairy; someone who will like me for me. If you send me a friend, I promise I’ll be good and take care of them. Love, Regina.”

Headcanon: When Regina was 6, Henry overheard her praying to the Blue Fairy. He was so upset he went behind Cora’s back for the first time in their marriage and talked the stable hand into bringing his 8 year old son Daniel to meet Regina.

Why would you post this? OMG, I can't see through my tears!

Neverlight

Yes. It is very sad.
But I think it can be like this! It can be true.

Koda

Yup, this may very well be close to how things happened and Regina and Daniel met. Speaking of things we've been speculating about, Adam and Eddy recently very briefly discussed whether or not Cora knew about Regina and Daniel prior to 1x18 in the official OUAT podcast:

Why do they say it on a podcast? I want to see it on Once upon a time!

The drawing and the story for it are tragic

falling down the rabbit hole

Koda

Yeah, that's part of the reason why I have mixed feelings about the podcast. I'm a little worried they'll just drop bits and pieces of information in what is basically bonus material, something like a DVD commentary for every episode, instead of addressing it on the actual show.

Granted, it was a question brought up by a fan and not something they chose to discuss of their own accord. And I thought it was kinda interesting that they weren't 100% on the same page in their answers, so maybe questions like that may even get them to think about and discuss stuff like that some more, which then in turn could lead to it becoming a topic on the show after all, but yeah... listening to their thoughts is nice, actually getting to see it on screen would definitely be even nicer though.

A scene on television is always better than an answer in an interview.

Neverlight

I hope we can get something soon!

Koda

Next season. I'm still fairly optimistic we'll get something from the Stable Boy era or a flashback to an even earlier point in Regina's life at some point during season 3.

Has anyone seen the new "Nikita" episode already?

Neverlight

I saw Nikita. It was a little boring in the beginning but it became very good in the end! Everyone is beginning to take sides about new Division!

Koda

Which is pretty awesome, I think, because that kind of conflict (or potential conflict) is great, dramatic story material. I'm also pretty happy that Ryan and Nikita seem to be on the same page. Good stuff, I'm glad there are two more new episodes coming up before OUAT returns.

Neverlight

Yes. Nikita & Ryan think new Division can work and be good. Some of the others do not think so. It will be a conflict.

Speaking of Nikita, TV Wise lists Hart of Dixie and Nikita as the two CW shows that will most likely be renewed. Renewal/ Cancellation Buzz - From network sources Via TV Wise
