Destiny the hidden power believed to control future advents. But is destiny something that can be changed and reshaped to your own will, or will events always turn out the way they were destined to. If Snow White had never told his mothers secret then Daniel would still be alive and she would never of became the evil queen, would she? A question Henry had found himself asking. If he could go back in time and change the course of events would the curse still of happened? In his mind it wouldn't have, his mother never would have became the evil queen and he would have grown up as a prince in the enchanted kingdom and the fighting would end. Time travel was presumed to be impossible but so was magic. There was only one person in town he knew that would be able to pull off a stunt like this and that was doctor whale. He managed to bring the man from the stables back from the dead and time travel couldn't be that much different, could it? There was one person Henry knew he could talk to and wouldn't tell his secrets and that was Archie.


Henry walked inside of his office, the cricket was startled at first until he realised who it was. "Henry" he said "What brings you here?".

"I have an idea and your the only one I can tell".

"Well take seat and we can talk about it" the cricket replied. Henry sat down on the familiar couch, it had been a while since he had last talked to Archie. "So" Archie said "What is it you want to tell me".

"I've been thinking" the boy replied.

"What about"

"Operation tiger"

"Operation tiger?" Archie said with a raised eye brow.

"Yes it's my new mission".

"But Henry you already broke the curse, what more do you need to do?"

"It's about my mum and Snow"

"Emma and Snow" the cricket replied.

"No my other mum and Snow"

"Oh, ok"

"Well you see they have been fighting for so long and I just want it to stop"

"And you know how to, stop it"

"Yes"

"I'm listening" the cricket said.

"If I can go back in time and stop Snow from telling mums secret then the curse world never happen"

"But Henry time travel is impossible"

"They said the same thing about magic but mum and rumple have it".

"But Henry time travel is different"

"How? youse all told me that the curse wasn't real and I was right about that, so I could be right about this to".

"Henry wouldn't it be easier to just talk to them".

"They won't listen to me all they say is that she's evil and bad but I don't think that's true".

"And why is that Henry?". Henry stopped for a second to think before continuing "Because evil people don't know how to love and she does, she loves me, there's good still left in her I know it".

"Then why don't you tell them that?"

"Because they only see the world as I used to, where there are good people and bad people and that you can't be both".

"So you're saying, they only see the world in black and white without seeing the shades of grey that are coloured everywhere"

"Yes" Henry replied.

"But have you thought of the consequences of time travel. To change one thing could change a whole lot more"

"I know" he replied "can I ask you question?"

"Yes of course"

"If you could go back in time and change one thing would you?"

"I, I ah yes, yes I would" the cricket said.

"Even though it could change the events of time".

"Yes" the cricket replied.

"Thank you" the boy said.

"For what?"

"Listening"

"Any time Henry". Archie sat there thinking about what Henry had said as he watched him walk from his office. If he could go back in time and stop his parents and himself than that little boy would still have his parents.


"Henry that's impossible" Whale said to the boy who stood in front of him. "You brought Daniel back so you must be able to do this" he pleaded. Whale took a breath before sitting back down in his desk "look Henry I wish I could help you but I can't".

"Why not"

"Firstly your mother, mothers would kill me and secondly you would have to gather enough power to be able to travel at the speed of light and pass through what would be a fifth dimension". He said "I would have to create a portal that would reverses time to transport you there".

"What about if we could use a already made portal" Henry said.

"Yes then all we would need to do would be to generate enough energy to pass you through the other dimension, it works in theory".

"So we can do it?" Henry asked.

"Yes but we need a portal" Whale replied.

"Will magic beans work?"

"Yes but I don't know how you would get your hands on one of them"

"I know where I can get one" he said.

"Well when you get one come to me".


Henry entered the large shed that whale owned, it was massive filled with things he had never seen. "What's this?" Henry asked as he went to touch an intriguing object. "Don't touch that" whale replied "you could get hurt".

"What is this place?" Henry asked.

"I'm a scientist Henry, it's a place where I can test new theory's and this is where we will make history" he said as he pointed to an old refrigerator that was in the far corner of the shed. "A fridge?" Henry said unsure of how a fridge would help him.

"Well yes" whale replied "This is what's going to transport you back in time"

"How" the boy asked.

"I'm glad you asked you see, we are going to use the portal combined with a high mass of energy to transport you back in time".

"And how are we going to get enough energy?"

"With lightning, we are going to connect a huge pole on top of the clock tower and when the lighting hits it, it will create a large mass of energy but we will also have to link into the power of the town".

"Ok" Henry said "So where does the fridge come into this?"

"The fridge is insulated it will protect you from the high voltage of energy that will run through the generator that will power it and send it thro a time continuum"

"So when will I be able to use it?".


It was a perfect night to use the time machine Whale had made. He snuck out while every one was sleeping. It was wet and cold, Henry would have preferred to be cuddled up in front of the fire place at his home, but no he had to do this.

Whale felt an adrenalin run through him, he was either going to make history or this was going to end very badly. "Now Henry" he yelled over the wind "when I give you the signal you chuck this bean against the wall of the fridge as hard as you can ok!"

"Ok" Henry yelled back. Henry was nervous he had no idea on what was going to happen but without a second thought he hopped into the fridge, turned time machine. He heard a bang on the door and he knew that was his signal to throw the bean. The fridge shook violently tossing him around. A blur of colours appeared before him and the sound of ticking clocks could be heard. Then it went completely silent then there was nothing but darkness.


So guys tell me what you think. It would be very much appreciated.
