Author's note: Hi people! These chapters will only make sense to you if you've read my story: Return what has been lost.
This scene takes place after Belle, Ruby and Snow come back from the wishing well.

After dropping Belle off at Granny's, Mary-Margret and Ruby quickly drove to the local Pharmacy.
"Good Morning, Mr Clark," Mary-Margret said brightly as the pair entered the store.
"Good morn- achoo! Good morning ladies," the shop owner who was formerly a dwarf greeted, wiping his nose with his handkerchief.
"What can I do for you today?"
"Well, we know how hard you work, Mr Clark," Ruby began sweetly, "and as it's nearly lunchtime, I thought I'd bring you one of Granny's savoury muffins. It's on the house," Ruby explained as she handed over the cheese and tomato muffin she had especially prepared, hoping it would work.
"Thank you," Mr Clark said gratefully, accepting the gift. "That's very kind of you, Ruby."
"No problem at all," Ruby smiled as he took a bite.
The man had only chewed a couple of times before he began coughing.
"I think-" he spluttered, "you put too much pepper in this batch."
"Oh, my gosh," Ruby was the picture of remorse," I am so sorry, Mr. Clark."
Mary-Margret seemed to get an idea. "Here! Take this," she passed Mr. Clark a bottle of water from her bag, and the coughing man accepted it gladly.
The two women watched with bated breath as they watched the pharmacist drink deeply from the bottle, soothing his throat.
As Mr. Clark placed the bottle back onto the counter, he seemed to stagger, grabbing the counter top to regain his balance.
Ruby and Mary-Margret shared a look as they watched the man slowly straighten up.
Mr. Clark's eyes were wide as he regarded the two women who stood before him, and as his gaze focused on Mary-Margret, a smile spread across his face.
"Your Majesty," he greeted, bowing low.
Laughing happily, Snow embraced her friend.
"Oh Sneezy," she sighed with happiness and relief, "you're back."
"I'm back," Sneezy confirmed happily. "You saved me. Thank you so much, Your Highness."
"Your brothers are going to be so happy to see you," Ruby smiled.
Sneezy smiled.
"Even Happy couldn't be happier than I am right now."
Closing the shop early, Sneezy, Snow and Ruby left to find the other dwarves to tell them the good news.

Author's note: I know this was a short scene, but I hope you enjoyed it. I decided not to include it in the story, as I felt it took away from Rumbelle. But I thought people might like to see Sneezy getting his memory back.
