Emma stopped at nothing to save her son and on her quest to find out why he suddenly passed out, the truth Henry had been telling her all along got through. She believed and by saving Henry from his fate, Emma broke the very curse she refused to believe for months. Getting used to fairytale characters like her parents being real was one thing, but finding herself in the very land she was born in was another.

Pan emerged from the shadows of the lush jungle. “You disappoint me. I thought I taught you better,” he said sharply as the lost boys surrounded the man before him. Baelfire had spent a long time with Pan on the island when he was a boy. It was clear that he remembered much of what the piper taught him but Bae’s cleverness ended at coating the shaft of an arrow with squid ink.

Emma never imagined she would be facing a divorce with her high school sweetheart. They were inseparable growing up, inseparable in their time of petty crime, and inseparable in the years following their marriage. It was only a matter of time for her happiness to be taken from her as the two continued to fight.

Much like most average families in the world, Tamara had a great family and childhood. Her parents were always there for her and loved her, but one night changed things for Tamara forever. A powerful force that one could only describe as magic came into her life, taking her parents from her in a freak accident that no one could explain.

Sorting through the newest additions of the library had taken up the majority of Belle's day. After everything had been put into place, she began her usual trek through the giant room in search of books that had been left out after their use. Belle picked up a couple of stray books and turned to put them where they belonged when she caught a glimpse of a student wandering into the library. Normally, she'd leave them be but he seemed like he was looking for something or rather someone.

Please tell me you didn’t actually attack someone last night.

Despite her opinions on being expected to be married by other members of her social circle and a women’s place being far more than just in the home, Emma did enjoy attending balls every once in awhile. She enjoyed the dancing, being around her dearest friend, Tink, and seeing everyone else happy. When the ball had just started, Emma was getting fresh air outside when she had run into a young man she had never seen before. Despite apologizing and inquiring on whether or not he was alright, she got the impression that the man was very proud and it rubbed her the wrong. She was hoping to never see him again throughout the evening and yet that wasn’t the case. Emma approached him when he was alone and was quite amused. “I’m surprised you stayed at the ball, sir. When I accidentally ran into you, I got the impression you didn’t want to be anywhere around here.” She more sure to enunciate her words to show that bumping into him was clearly an accident and not done on purpose.

When Emma stole a stolen car and met Neal, she never expected for them to stay together in the end. Maybe taking part in one heist after dodging that cop was the only thing she planned on with Neal, and Emma had every intention of leaving him after that to be alone. However, after being abandoned by her parents as a baby, Emma found herself liking his company. She stayed by his side and played the act of a loving couple only to steal something along the way, and then that one night in a closed amusement park happened. How he spoke to her, understood her, talked about how he found ways to get over his traumatic childhood made her realize she loved him. Love. How could a teenager one year away from turning eighteen love someone so deeply, but be afraid of commitment given her own traumatic past in the process? The fear of rejection made Emma keep her feelings to herself. “So… what is the plan for today today?” Emma asked, looking over at him only to look away again.
