Chapter 1: intricate feelings

Robin and Marian sit by the camp fire. Their cute son Roland lays fast asleep in his tent. Hood is just introducing Marian to the Merry Men.

" Everybody, This is Marian my wife. We where happily married when, back in the enchanted forest, the Evil queen took her and killed her. It was terrible. But when Emma went back in time, she saved Marian. Now we're back together and… " he is almost done with his story, when Mulan interrupts.

Mulan joined the Merry Men after Phillip and Aurora got married. Mulan loved both of them. But she fell in love with Aurora. Seeing Aurora and Phillip together was too much for her. She couldn't live her life watching the person she loved most, be in love with someone else. It was too painful. She had to move on.

Making people happy was her passion. She heard that Hood stole from the rich to give to the pore. It seemed fair to her. and by the way, it sounded adventurous, which she always likes. Robin was the brother of an old friend of her, so they already knew each other a little bit. And she could find him really quickly.

When Mulan was young, she found that she wasn't like the other girls. They liked playing with dolls, while she liked swords and climbing in trees. Robin knew she wasn't girly, so he didn't hesitate letting her join the group. The other member however. didn't believe it really. they challenged her to climb high trees, not letting her down. They even let her steal from pirates. But Mulan wasn't afraid and won every time.

"What about Regina? I thought you two where together?"

Robin looks at his wife and back at Mulan.
"She killed my wife. sort of. I know Regina has changed, but I loved Marian. I just want to forget all the terrible things that happened and start over. I made a vow at our wedding and you know I never break promises."
"Is Regina doing ok? How did she take it?"
Robin sighs to his wife that she should go look at their kid. Marian understands and walks away.

"I'm sure she is fine. She is a strong women."
"I know. but this has to be come hard! You left her because your dead wife came back to life. And you expect her to just forget the relation you two build? So YOU can start over? Think about Regina. She was making a fresh start with… you!"
"I've made my decision Mulan."
Robin looks at the ground for a moment, thinking about what Mulan said. She is right. But Marian is the love of his life. they have a child together. He looks back at Mulan again.
"Can you talk to Regina for me?"
Mulan hesitates, but since she has always been a servant she nods.
"What should I tell her?"
"That I love her. And I am sure she will get an happy ending. Tell her I'm going to find an better solution for this incident."
Mulan looks deep in Robin's eyes. He tells the truth. He truly loves Regina.

Robin walks toward his tent an Mulan to hers. She turns around one more time.

"Go to Gold! He may be able to help."

Emma and Hook are sitting outside of granny's just talking about their adventure. Emma wants to forget about Regina for a moment. She will be alright. Henry is with her. Emma thinks for herself.

"So lady Swan! now you've seen how life is in a different world."
"I liked it! Everybody is so different in that world. No electricity, no phones. In my world everybody is on their phones all the time. Life is so much more exciting in the enchanted forest. But I wouldn't be able to live without Netflix."
"I know! It's crazy. but what in hell is Netflix?"
"YOU DON'T KNOW?! oh that's right! you haven't been here very long yet! maybe we can go to Mary Margret's apartment, so I can show you some cool things."
"hmm I'd love that."

he leans in and kisses her. Emma really likes Hook. his hair is so soft and he smells like rum. But when Hook wants to break the kiss of to go to Mary's, she suddenly gets very anxious. what if He wants to go further then kissing? Emma keeps kissing him harder and longer. While she does that she sends a text to Regina behind her back.
'Hey, I'm so sorry! please will you forgive me? You know I will do anything to fix it! xo'

Emma knew Regina would text her back. She always texts the most sassy things. or just things to piss Emma off.
'no.'

When she gets the response she breaks off the kiss of an looks at her phone. saved by the text.

"What is it Swan?"
"I have to go! Regina texted me. there is something with Henry. but nothing bad. We can watch Netflix later. ok?"
"I can come with you!"
"No I'm fine. I can do this alone."

Emma kisses Hook on his cheek and runs off. Hook is left alone. He looks at Emma running. oh god she is so pretty, he thinks to himself. But also so complicated. Women never where very complicated for him. He'd just kiss them and take them to his ship.
For Emma he was willing to fight.

"WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?"
"Emma. It is normal to be scared. You don't gave to sleep with him on the first date."
"I know mom. But I am lying to Hook and ruining Regina's life. And not to forget I made Robin's life very complicated."
"Just sleep for a bit. You've had a crazy time travel adventure. You need to rest. You can think about it tomorrow."
"That actually a great idea. thanks mom."

Mary walks out of Emma's room and does little dance after she closes the door. She is getting better at parenting!

Emma looks at the ceiling. She has been laying in this position for 2 hours now. She can't sleep until all her problems are solved. Maybe a little bit of fresh air will help me sleep. She puts her shoes on and puts her coat on over her pajamas.
outside the streets are quiet. It's very dark and also very cold. It isn't suppose to be this cold. But right now she can't be thinking about the weather too.

suddenly she sees a black shim walking in her direction. The person is also walking on the middle of the road, just like her. Why would anyone be walking here right now? It's 3 o'clock.
When the shim comes closer, Emma can see it's a woman. She hopes it is Regina. Emma just really wants to talk to her. But what if it is Marian? what should I say to her?
