Part of her knew she was being childish in angrily stomping out of the house with her bow and few arrows sling across her back leaving Alice pouting after her without even giving the blonde a departing kiss like she normally would. Robin just couldn't help it. The female archer was jealous of her five-year-old self no matter how much she told herself she wasn't.

At first, it had been cute watching how easily Alice had become wrapped around her younger self's finger in the short amount of time it had taken for her mother to come around to believing them about what was going on then to make the drive back to their little house just at the edge of town.

So of course, when little Robin had announced that she wanted to make cookies with and for her new friend before they left to go be heroes as soon as they got back home Alice had jumped at the idea leaving older Robin and Zelena still sitting in the driveway while the pair dashed off toward the little farmhouse before the car was even properly stopped.

"Hey, babe want to come help too?" Alice questioned talking over her shoulder at them when Robin and Zelena had crossed the threshold to find the two bakers had already taken over the little kitchen with mixing bowls, baking sheets and measuring cups.

Margot couldn't stop the giggle from slipping out when she looked up from her sulking glare at her own shoes to see that Alice was coming over to her with that heart-melting smile on her chocolate smeared lips and a freshly made candy apple in her hands. "What am I going to do with you?" the archer questioned winding her arms around Alice's waist as she leaned in half licking half kissing away the melted chocolate around her lover's mouth. "Come help make cookies while your Mom's taring the house apart although Wonderland knows what she's looking for this time." Alice prompted offering a batter coated spoon to her smirking true love.

An offer that was all too tempting to the arrow-toting brunet when Alice pulled that adorable pout on her but one look over the blonde's shoulder at her glaring younger self had Robin shaking her head shifting her bow and her quiver back across her back.

"I'll be out back." Was all she could say in answer stalking toward to the back door that lead to the woods.

"I'm sure other me is fine." Little Robin shrugged talking around a bite of a cookie she'd help bake while watching Alice glance between the back door and the wall clock when lunchtime came and went with no word from older Robin and now it seemed that dinner time would be just as radio quiet.

Alice had even gone out back herself with little Robin jogging along beside her trying to find where her sulking archer had gone but after two hours of wondering the trees with no telltale sounds of arrows hitting a target the blonde had been forced to turn back to the house thinking that maybe Robin had just snuck past them and would already be waiting for them.

"Maybe she just forgot her phone." The younger girl commented pushing herself up, so she was sitting on the kitchen counter beside the cooling cookie trays.

Alice shook her head her eyes glued to the cell phone in her hands hoping that if she just looked long and hard enough it would somehow change the 'no new messages' text to something else. "You always take your phone with you when you go out shooting love. Ever since that one time you nearly gave Zelena and I a heart attack when you didn't come back to camp cause you fell into that sand snare thing and we barely found you in time before it suffocated you." Alice explained leaning against the counter beside the younger version of the woman she loved.

"Like quicksand?" young Robin asked feeling Alice shuddered at the memory while the younger girl continued swinging her legs against the kitchen cabinets while she munched on another cookie. "More like constriction sand but yeah." The blonde agreed looking pitiful as she laid her head against the young girl's shoulder needing the comfort and immediately feeling younger Robin's fingers twisting and twirling her hair around her fingers just like her Robin did while the pair waited for the latest batch of treats to finish cooking up.

"You know if you eat any more of those you'll spoil dinner." Zelena scolded her daughter while giving Alice a kind-hearted smile to try to brighten the pouting blonde's mood. "Everything alright dear?" the mother questioned a light-hearted laugh bubbling up when she noticed some of the cookies the pair had whipped up were made into flying monkey and witch hat shapes along with arrows and a few misshapen but still recognizable rabbit and rooks with more than a few hearts both real shaped and what people think a heart looks like all of them complete with icing and sprinkles piled up on a plate on the kitchen table.

"She's upset cause other me isn't back yet and its almost dinner time." Little Robin explained now braiding Alice's hair for her.

"Have you tried calling her?" Zelena prompted but Alice shook her head earning an annoyed growl from young Robin when the braid shed just finished shook loose. "When she's out practicing no matter for practice or wanting to be alone target practice Robin hardly ever uses her phone, but she keeps it with her for emergencies." Zelena nodded at that but rolled her eyes as she pointed a disapproving finger at the blonde shifting the laundry basket in her arms over to rest against her hip instead. "And what about this little scene right here doesn't scream that it's an emergency call?" the mother pressed seeing how close to worried tears Alice was by this point.

Before Alice could think of a better answer than 'cause it just isn't.' her phone rang.

"Nobin." The adventurous half sobbed in relief at the caller picture of her Robin's smiling face filling her screen when she'd picked up the call to hear a groaned and playfully annoyed "Tower Girl." In return from Margot on the other end of the line.

"See I told yeah." Younger Robin joked pulling on Alice's jacket until she had moved the distracted blonde over so Alice was sitting on the floor in front of the sofa with Robin behind her still trying to braid her hair while Alice accidentally put the call on speaker phone in excitement.

"Mind bringing little Robin and your amazing self down to the castle?" Robin answered, "Little me know the way here." She continued just as her younger self squealed excitedly with a happy "I know that place my cousin Henry takes me there sometimes."

"And cookies you said your friends had cookies." A younger voice called out in the background making Alice nearly drop the phone in surprise. "And bring some cookies to please." Robin laughed "See you soon babe."

"Who was that other girl?" Little Robin asked following Alice's shaking footsteps as the pair headed back to the kitchen for the asked for cookies.

"She was...that was me…. when I was your age." Alice stammered in answer.
