Tale of two Snows 2
Chapter 1
In an apartment in NYC. The alarm clock rings 8:15am and Neal's hand hits it. "Good morning, baby." said Neal as he snuggles Emma awake.
"Good morning." said Emma
"That was a lot of fun last night wasn't it?" asked Neal playfully
"Sure was. We should have Anna Sophia watch Henry more often." said Emma
" Yea, then we could really party." said Neal
Emma sits up blue up right in bed "Party! O, my god… Henry's birthday. I nearly forgot. We have to get breakfast on the table and there are so many things we have to organize!" said Emma quickly getting out of bed and getting dressed Neal gets up and gets ready himself "Em, calm down. Everything will be fine. We can pull this off. We can give Henry a happy birthday. We always do."
"We?!" yelled Emma "I'm the one that always does everything!"
"Now that isn't fair. I do my fair share. I'm a good father." said Neal
"Nobody said you weren't. It's just our little boy is 13. that's a big deal and I almost missed it." said Emma
Emma leaves the bathroom where she was getting dressed and goes over to Neal "Hey, good father, go wake up Henry for me."
"I'm on it." said Neal
Meanwhile, Anna Sophia hits her alarm as empire state of mind plays. She then picks up her guitar and walks into the bedroom next to hers which belonged to Henry she then sits at the end of the bed and starts playing " Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday,dear Henry. Happy Birthday to you!" Henry wakes up from the sound of the guitar. "Morning, kid. You excited about the big 13?"
"Yea." said Henry
"I got a special gift for you." said Anna Sophia who started to play
" I met a special boy. 13 years ago
and how I fell in love with him well I don't really know.
I guess it was his smile which went on for miles.
It could have been laughter which made the room glow.
Maybe his creativity which I admire most
and his honesty and the fact that he never boasts.
Whatever, it was I can't really say all I can say is I love you anyway. There is nothing about you I would want to change. Nothing to play with or even rearrange. I don't know what our lives would be dear Henry without you. We'd go to the ends of the world to make sure we kept you. Even if you went away we would find you one day because you are the greatest… yes, the greatest boy in my life… Henry!" Neal applauses as he stands by the open doorframe
"Good morning, Neal. Didn't realize I had an audience." said Anna Sophia
"I didn't realize you came in to wake up Henry." said Neal
"Thought I'd give you and sleeping beauty more time in." said Anna Sophia
"Well sleeping beauty is Cinderella this morning. Now, come on you two breakfast is just about ready." said Neal
Anna Sophia puts down her guitar, Henry hugs her and thanks her, and she and Henry go to the dining room table and sit down just as Emma is putting the finishing touches on breakfast. "Mom, don't forget the cinnamon." said Henry
Emma gets the cinnamon and her, Anna Sophia, and Henry put it on their hot cocoa.
"I never understood why anyone would put cinnamon on their hot cocoa. " said Neal
"Don't knock it until you try it." said Anna Sophia
" Fine but I bet they wouldn't have started doing this if you weren't here." said Neal
"Why blame everything on me?" asked Anna Sophia
Emma turns off the lights and puts a lit candle in one of the pancakes as everyone sings happy birthday to Henry. He blows out his candle. Just then there is a knock on the door. Everyone looks over at the door. "Were we excepting anyone?" asked Emma
"Probably just fans or something. I'll get it." said Anna Sophia
"Why do you give your fans your home address? I told you to stop doing that until you move out and get your own home. " said Neal
Anna Sophia answers the door and when she opens it Snow, Charming, Belle, Hook, Robin Hood, Roland, and Regina are standing there. "O my god! Well, you are the strangest fans who have ever shown up to stalk me." she looks at Snow White "And I'm flattered that you decided to look just like me but that is really creepy and next time get a wig because that pixie cut is the ugliest thing I've ever seen."
"We aren't stalkers and I'm not trying to be you, Anna Sophia." said Snow White "I'm your twin sister Mary Margret."
"I don't have a sister." said Anna Sophia
" Well, you didn't always." said Regina
"And who are you my mother?" asked Anna Sophia
"You're close." said Regina
"How close?" asked Anna Sophia "What are you stepmother or something?"
" Yes, Regina is your stepmother. " said Charming
"And you are who my brother?" asked Anna Sophia
"Actually, I'm your husband." said Charming
"My husband? Sorry… wrong! You see these fingers?" Anna Sophia shows her fingers "No rings… nobody has put a ring on it so who are you?"
"I'm your husband. Really I am. You, Mary Margret, and I are married." said Charming
"So, I'm in some twisted three way relationship with my sister and you? Well, I guess I'm finally living the rock star life. Funny, thought I'd be living in a mansion in beverly hills not in an apartment in NYC with my best friend and her family… what was I thinking?" remarked Anna Sophia sarcastically
"Hey! No need for that kind of attitude!" said Mary Margret
Charming then kisses her and Anna Sophia slaps him "What do you think you're doing!"
Neal comes up behind her "It's true love's kiss at least I'm pretty sure that's what David is trying to do." sad Neal
"You know this guy?" asked Anna Sophia
" I've met him but I don't know him as well as you do or should I say as well as you used to. What are all of you doing here? How did you get back?" asked Neal
"It's a long story but Snow and Charming finally got a way to bring Snow and Anna back together. I was just thinking about you and your father. " said Belle
"And Regina you came to see Henry… he's inside if you'd like to come in." said Neal
Regina nods and enters the apartment "and the rest of you please come in."said Neal they all enter except Hook who Neal stops from entering "Not you! You can just turn around and go back on that fancy ship yours."
"I will do no such thing. Swan loves me I just have to remind her of that." said Hook
Emma comes to the door. "Neal is there a problem?"
"No, problem." said Neal
"I beg to differ. Hello, Swan… Emma. Lovely to see you." said Hook
"Who are you?" asked Emma
" She doesn't even know who you are so why even try to get her back." said Neal
"Because I am not going to walk out on her." said Hook
"Well, I haven't and as far as she knows I never did and it just kills you doesn't it that she chose me over you?" asked Neal snidely
"She did not choose you over me you just went off with her and she let you. If I could have gone I would have." said Hook
"Please, she's not going to end up with a man who shot a woman for revenge, is a womanizer who hits on everything that walk, and broke up a family ...because you might have not killed my mother but you drove my father to kill her when you took her away." said Neal
"Neal, is there something I should know?" asked Emma
"No." said Neal "Nothing"
"I won't stop fighting for her." said Hook
"Neither will I." said Neal
" As flattering as fighting over me is. I don't like it. I'm not a prize at street fair. So, let me make something very clear. Neal you are the man I fell in love with so stop getting jealous because no other man is taking me away. And you, if you want me then win me over by being a gentleman not by fighting with my husband. Do I make myself clear?" said Emma
Hook steps around Neal and enters the apartment. Regina goes over to Henry tears welling in her eyes. Roland notices this "Papa, why is Regina crying?"
"I think she's just happy to see Henry." sad Robin
"Happy Birthday, Henry." said Regina giving him a big hug "You have no idea how much I've missed you."
"Thank you for the birthday wish but who are you?" asked Henry
"My name is Regina and this might be difficult to understand but I'm your mother." said Regina
"Excuse me? I'm his mother. I gave birth to him. I've been taking care of him for the past 13 years. I'm his mother." said Emma
" That's just what you believe. I made you believe that. Yes, you gave birth to him but you gave him up and I adopted Henry. I named him Henry after my father. Last year, I had to let him go so I gave him to you and you, Neal, and Anna Sophia took him here. I never thought I'd see him again so I gave you happy memories of you being together. " said Regina
"It's true. I'm the only one who remembered anything when Regina broke the second curse the one that got Anna Sophia." said Neal
" Neal, who are these people?" asked Emma
"Emma this is Mary Margret, David, Belle, Regina, Robin, and Roland…. O, and Killian" said Neal
They all give the customary hellos. "So, what brings you all here?" asked Emma
"Well, these two." indicating MM and David "claim to be my sister and my husband."
"You have a sister and a husband?" asked Henry
"No I don't." said Anna Sophia
"Yes you do." said Neal
"I think I'd know if I had a sister and I would certainly know if I was married!" yelled Anna Sophia
"You forgot because of Pan's curse." said Neal
"Pan the demigod of lust?" asked Anna Sophia
"Actually, Peter Pan." said Neal
"The kid who never grew up? This is a joke right?"asked Anna Sophia "Well, it's funny but enough is enough."
"He's serious." said MM
" Peter Pan does not exist. He's a fairytale! That's like saying you and I are Snow White, David here is Prince Charming, That's Belle, That's the evil queen, that's Robin Hood, and the kid is Robin Hood's son which is crazy because Robin Hood doesn't have a son!" yelled Anna Sophia
" That's exactly who we all are." said David
"What you all are is crazy!" said Anna Sophia "No one in this room is buying this!"
" Anna Sophia Blanchard, you are not who you think you are because things are not the way you think they are. Your name is Snow White you are the daughter of King Leopold and Queen Eva. I became your mother when you betrayed me. I was angry for a very long time. I tried everything I could think of to make your life miserable the way you made mine miserable. I enacted a curse I got from Rumplestilskine that sent everyone to this land. I stopped time and you forgot who you were but a glitch caused you and Mary Margret to become two people. Emma broke that curse but more problems arose…." started Regina
"What type of problems?" asked AS
"Well, it all started when we had just come together and were out on the town square with David when purple smoke swept through the town of Story brooke." MM began.
Nearly 2 years ago, The purple smoke swept through Storybrooke and as it did Charming held Snow tightly to him however, he was so focused on protecting her from whatever was happening he didn't notice her vibrating in his arms or notice that she suddenly split into two people. However, the smoke started to clear and he let go of both of them. "What's happening?" asked MM "What the hell is this?" asked AS. Mary Margret and Anna Sophia look at each other"I thought we were over this." said Anna Sophia. "Let's go get some answers." David responded. They walk towards Red and Granny who were in front of Granny's diner.
"Snow? " said Red hugging Mary Margret and then Anna Sophia as Granny and David hugged and then they all switched off.
"This is crazy there are two of you." said Red looking at Mary Margret and Anna Sophia again
"More of us to love." said Anna Sophia
"Your Highness." said Leroy
Mary Margret and Anna Sophia walk over as the dwarfs bow "Come on, guys. We're friends there is no need for that." said Anna Sophia then they all hug.
"So the curse is broken?" asked Leroy
"Yea." said Anna Sophia
"What do we do now?" asked Ruby
"Now I find my daughter." said Mary Margret
"I believe you mean we find our daughter." said Anna Sophia
"So it's true." said Emma
"I told you it was. You should listen to me more often." said Anna Sophia
Mary Margret and David hug Emma and then Anna Sophia hugs her. "You found us!" MM and AS say together then she notices Henry and let's go. "Henry!" Anna Sophia picks him up and spins him around " You're ok! We did it!"
"Grandma, you can put me down now." said Henry
"She saved you." said Henry as Anna Sophia put him down
"She saved all of us." said Anna Sophia
"Then why are we still here?" asked Leroy
"That's a very good question." said Anna Sophia
"What was that smoke?" everyone asked
" 's here." said the blue fairy
"But you're the blue fairy do something magical." said Henry
"I can't not without award or fairy dust." said Blue
"Then let's talk to the person responsible the queen." said Leroy
"No, Regina didn't do this." said Emma
"That's right. She was at hospital with you she wouldn't've had time to do this." said Anna Sophia "There is only one other person who could be responsible. Gold."
The group walks towards Gold's shop.
"Did you have any questions for us? I mean you haven't seen us in 28 years at least not this way there must be something you'd like to know." said Anna Sophia
"My only questions are for Gold. Why did he double cross me and what did he do to this town?" said emma
"Shouldn't we talk about it?" asked Mary Margret
"What?" asked Emma
"Us." said Anna Sophia "We've been waiting for this day for a very long time and I've been breaking my back trying to make this day happen. I took Henry to Boston without his mother's permission, I risked my life going down into a mine, I went off into the woods with you, and I was put under the spelling curse where Henry and I were confronted by Medusa and turned to stone so let's talk." said Anna Sophia
"I understand all that but I just need to do this later." said Emma "With wine preferably."
"I know it's a lot to take in." said Charming "But please, talk to us."
"You don't think that I've been waiting for this a long time too. I've always imagined you'd be but out of all the possibilities Snow White and Prince Charming were not one of them. Not even two moms was ever in the cards. And I know how hard you've tried to help me but I just need a little time that's all." said Emma
Suddenly, a mob roars ahead of them
"Snow." said Charming
Jimminey runs towards them " You have to come with me. Dr. Whale got everyone in a frenzy they are going to Regina's they are going to kill her." said Jimminey
"Let's watch." said Grumpy
"No, no matter what she's done we can't stoop to her level." said Jimminey
"And besides, she's family no matter how much I'd hate to admit that and we don't kill family." said Anna Sophia
"Please, she's still my mom." said Henry
"Ok, let's go." said Charming
When the Charmings and their friends arrive at Regina's Whale is holding her to a pole.
"Let her go! Let her go!" yells Emma rushing forward
"You heard the sheriff, back off!" yelled Anna Sophia
"Why should I listen to you?" asked Whale ignoring Anna Sophia
"Because I'm still the sheriff." said Emma
"And she saved you all of you." said Charming
"And no matter what Regina did it does not justify this." said Mary Margret
" Because we are civilized people not barbarians! " added Anna Sophia
"We are not murderers here." said Emma
"We are not from this world." said Whale
"Well, you're in it now." said Emma
"Ok, we're done." said Charming and Anna Sophia stepping up
"Back off you're not my prince and you aren't my princess. " said Whale
"Who are you?" asked Charming
"That's my business." said Whale
"Well, my business is to make sure this town doesn't go to hell. Now we have a lot to figure out." said Charming
"And this isn't the way to do it!" said Anna Sophia " And Regina's death won't provide any answers. She needs to be locked away for her safety and most importantly ours." said Anna Sophia and Mary Margret together.
David and Anna Sophia lock her in the jail "If the curse is broken then why didn't we go back?" asked Charming
"Because there is nothing to go back to." said Regina "That land is gone."
"That is bullshit. You are lying. I know you are. " said Anna Sophia
"You can't prove that." said Regina
"Like hell I can't." said Anna Sophia
"Let me know when are ready to try and prove it because I'd like to be there when you see I'm right." said Regina
"Let's go see Gold." said Mary Margret
Emma gives Henry to Red while the Charmings go to deal with Gold as they walk Charming whispers "Don't push it."
"We need to talk to you!" Anna Sophia and Mary Margret say together
"I… I don't want to talk." said Emma
"I do." said Anna Sophia
"So do I." said Mary Margret
"Gold can wait. Mary Margret and I can't." said Anna Sophia "You're our daughter and we want to talk to you."
"I know that we have talked." said Mary Margret "About one night stands and the like. "
"One night stands?" questioned Charming
"Whale." said MM
"Whale?" yelled Charming
"We were cursed." pointed out MM
"That does not excuse your taste in men." said AS
"What about you and that cheshire cat guy?" asked MM
"I ran to David before anything really happened there." said AS
"Anyway… the point is we did not know we were mother and daughter and now we do so please let's talk." said MM
"I knew and I still want to talk with you." said AS
"OK, what do you want to talk about?" asked Emma
"We are all finally together and I can't help thinking that you aren't happy about it." said MM
"You are definitely not happy about this." said AS
"For 28 years all I knew was that my parents sent me away." said Emma
"And we're sorry but we did that to give you your best chance." said MM and AS
"You did that to save everyone because it's who you are princes, princesses, and that's great and wonderful but it doesn't change the fact that for my entire life I've been alone." said Emma
" But if we hadn't sent you away you would have been cursed too." said Anna Sophia
"But we would have been together." said Emma
"Touche, but we didn't have a lot of options everything happened so quickly. Originally I was supposed to come with you but you came early and we had no other choice we had to let you go." said Anna Sophia
"You had a choice. You just made the wrong one." said Emma "I mean which curse it worse? Let's just go find Gold."
Emma walks away.
MM and AS stand there in shock as Charming takes each of their hands. "One day she'll understand." Charming whispered
MM and AS just shake their heads.
They enter Gold's shop as he is pouring tea.
"What can I do for you?" asked Gold
"What you can do is tell us what you did." said Emma
"Sorry, you'll have to be more specific." said Gold
"You know damn well what you did." said David
"Now tell us what you did or I'll take an arrow and shove it where the sun don't shine." said Anna Sophia
" Do that and I'll be forced to retaliate in my own special way, Anna Sophia. Now what specifically, are we talking about." said Gold
"You sent Emma on a quest, you took your potion from her…" said MM
"You did God knows what to this town." said David
" You put my life in danger!" said Anna Sophia
"And most importantly you put Henry's life in danger!" said Emma
" That is quite the list of grievances now isn't it?" said Gold
"Maybe I don't need answers maybe I just need to punch you in the face." said Emma
"If she doesn't I will, Gold! Because while you had Emma Pussyfooting around up here in the Neitherworld of the sleeping curse Henry and I were killed by Medusa!" yelled Anna Sophia
Gold laughs "O, really, dearie. Miss Swan. Miss Blanchard let me answer your questions with some of my own. Is your boy alive?" asked Gold
"Yea." said Emma
"But as I said he was turned to stone in the neither world we ended up in and it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't sent emma on a trumped up mission!" yelled Anna Sophia
"I did not put you under the spelling curse, Miss Blanchard. You put yourself under. Medusa came from your fears I had nothing to do with her." said Gold "Now, is the curse broken?"
"Yes." said Emma
"And how long have you been looking for your parents? It seems you found them and you have an extra mother so you and your boy have something else that can connect you and bring you closer together. So instead of punching me in the face you should thank me." said Gold
"What was that purple haze?" asked David
"You know magic." said Gold doing his magic gesture
"Why?" asked MM and AS together
"Not telling." said Gold
"Well, why did you want to split up Mary Margret and I again." said Anna Sophia
"Miss Blanchard, I have no desire to have two Snow Whites in the world. In fact, I wouldn't give a damn if there were one, two, or a whole population of Snow Whites." said Gold
Suddenly, everything shakes.
"What the hell was that?" asked Emma
AS, MM, and David run to the door.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Anna Sophia
"That is my gift to you. That is going to take care of Regina." said Gold
"Just what we need another reason to save Regina." said Anna Sophia
"Come on, Emma. We got to take care of this." said David
"We aren't done." said Emma
"I know." said Gold "You still owe me a favor."
"After this crap it will be a cold day in hell when my daughter does you any favors!" hissed Anna Sophia
"You are interfering in my business again, Miss Blanchard." said Gold "I think you would have learned after last time."
" When your business concerns my family it becomes my business." said Anna Sophia
"Be that as it may my deal with Miss Swan is between Miss Swan and me so if you know what's good for you I suggest you stay out of it." said Gold
"Anna Sophia, we don't have time for this." said David "Let's go."
The Charmings leave the shop. They enter the shop as the wraith is sucking Regina's soul. "hey!" yells David throwing a chair at it. The wraith knocks him out of the way and starts to knock everyone and everything around. It then goes back to sucking Regina's soul. Anna Sophia takes a lighter and Mary Margret takes an aerosol can. " Over here!" they yelled together and Anna Sophia lights the lighter as Mary Margret sprays the aerosol causing the wraith to go out the window.
"What was that thing?" asked Emma
"A wraith… a soul sucker." said Regina
"Did we…" asked AS and MM together
"Kill it? No. It's regenerating it will be back. It doesn't stop until it devours it's prey. Me." said Regina
"How do we kill it?" asked Emma
"You can't. You can't kill something that is already dead." said Regina
"Then we have a problem." said Emma
"No we don't. " said Charming "Regina does."
"What?" ask Emma
"David?" questions MM
"No, I agree with David. If we let it take Regina it won't be a problem anymore. Regina got herself in this mess she can get herself out. " said Anna Sophia
" Come on. Let's get out of here." said David
"O, that's a great example that you two setting for your daughter here!" yelled Regina
"You don't have the right to judge the decisions my wife and I make!" responded David
"Let me ask you where do you think that thing came from? Gold." said Regina
"I made a promise to Henry. She isn't dying." said Emma
"I forgot about Henry. I guess it's true if we let Regina die he'd never speak to us again." said Anna Sophia
"And we wouldn't be able to live with blood on our hands." said MM
"Fine." said Anna Sophia "If it can't be killed what do you suggest?"
"Send it somewhere where it can't hurt anyone." said Regina
At Regina's place. As Emma and Regina were talking Mary Margret, Anna Sophia, and David come into the room with brooms. "Torches for when it comes back. It may be old fashioned but so am I."
"So how does it work?" asked Anna Sophia
They enter the main office.
"So, we use the hat to banish it to our land." said Regina
"But I thought our land was gone." said Mary Margret
"It is but sending it to a place that no longer exists. That's banishing it to oblivion." said Regina
The lights flicker as the wraith approaches. The others light the torches and hold them in ready. David uses his torch to hold off the wraith while the others use alcohol to set the banister on fire. Regina struggles to get the hat to work."Now would be the time" said David. "Regina!" Emma pushes Regina out of the way as the wraith gets sucked into the hat but it grabs onto to Emma dragging her in. "I'm not losing her again!" MM and AS say together grabbing hands and jumping into the hat.
Sometime later Mary Margret, Emma, and Anna Sophia are roughly woken up by Mulan. "Get up!All of you get up and don't make any suddenly movements!"
They all get up as Mulan points her sword at them. Anna Sophia kicks the sword out of Mulan's hand. "Run!" she yells to the others as the run Mulan takes out knunchucks and hits Anna Sophia in the back of the head causing Anna Sophia to black out. Anna Sophia finds herself back in the room with the burning curtains. She sees a different door from the last time she was there and tried to open it but couldn't quite get it so she kicked it open. Suddenly, she finds herself facing David at the apartment. "David!" she hugged him
"Anna Sophia, where are Emma and Mary Margret?" asked David
" I'm not sure we ended up in an unknown land and some warrior princess tried to take us captive. I think they got away but I was knocked out so I can't be certain. Where are you going?" asked Anna Sophia
"I was going to get Regina to tell me about this hat." said David
"We don't need Regina for that. I think I know who that hat belongs to. Come on, let's go to Jefferson's place." said Anna Sophia.
"Who's Jefferson?" asked David
"This lunatic that Mary Margret, Emma, and I were kidnapped by during the curse. He wanted Emma to make a magic hat so he could get back to our land." said Anna Sophia
Anna Sophia and David drive to Jefferson's place. Anna Sophia knocks and knocks over and over again but gets no answer "JEFFERSON! JEFFERSON! JEFFERSON OPEN UP WE NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU! JEFFERSON!… Regina may know where he is."
David and Anna Sophia knock on Regina's door. "What is this?"
"I'm surprised you don't have armed guards surrounding my house." said Regina
"We don't need them there is a line a mile long for your head." said Anna Sophia
"I'd like to see someone try that." said Regina
"Go ahead but that wall paper trick was an anomaly you are having trouble with magic. If you weren't this town would be ash by now." said David
"Wallpaper trick? You tried to kill my husband with wallpaper?" asked Anna Sophia
"Yes, she did but luckily Henry walked in." said David
"OoO, guess Henry saw your true colors." said Anna Sophia
"Now, what is this?" asked David
"It's the hat that took your loved ones away. " said Regina"Though, I see one of them came back."
" Regina we know it belongs to Jefferson. Where is he?" asked Anna Sophia
"I'm sorry I don't know who you're talking about but maybe you should be less concerned with hats and more concerned with taking care of my son." said Regina
"O, because you took such good care of him" said David and Anna Sophia together
"I am not going to take child care lectures from two people who put their daughter in a box and shipped her to Maine!" yelled Regina
"At least we didn't make our child feel like he was crazy by putting him in therapy three times a week!" Anna Sophia pointed out
"Listen, I need my family there has to be a way to follow them. They are obviously somewhere or Anna Sophia wouldn't have gotten back. So if you have even the tiniest bit of a heart still left you will help me get them back but if there isn't then you'll face the consequences." said Charming
" No, without being certain of exactly where they are magic would be useless, by the way threatening me is a bad idea because I may not have my son or magic but when I get one I get the other and you don't want to be around when that happens." said Regina
"If you need magic to keep your son you don't have him. " said Charming as he and Anna Sophia leave.
Later, in front of city hall. The town is trying to find loved ones and help with various issues that have arisen. "Blue, could there be a tree like the one we sent Emma through on this side?" asked Charming
"There could be but without fairy dust to guide us it's hopeless." said Blue
"There has to be another way. Grandma, how did you get back here?" asked Henry
" I was knocked out and ended up in the burning red room. There was another door different from the last one and I kicked it open and ended up home. But that wouldn't help both of them because Emma has never been under the sleeping curse. " said Anna Sophia
"We'll think of something. Things always get worse before they get better in the stories." said Henry
"That's true we have gotten into some horrible situations." said Anna Sophia
Suddenly Grumpy comes in yelling "Terrible news! Terrible news! We were at the town line and Sneezy crossed over. He can't remember who he is. If anyone crosses our cursed selves because our only selves." said Leroy
"And things just got worse." said Anna Sophia
Suddenly everyone starts to jump all over Anna Sophia and Charming. "Everyone, meet up here in 2 hours and I'll tell you my plan to fix everything." said Charming
Everyone disperses.
"What's the plan?" asked Ruby
"I don't know but I got 2 hours to figure it out." said Charming
" Charming, I got a hunch I have to follow up on. I'll talk to you later." said Anna Sophia going in the direction of Gold's shop.
Anna Sophia enters Gold's shop. "Gold, where is Cora's spell book?"
"Cora's spell book?" asked Gold
"Don't play dumb, Gold. I know you have it. I want to buy it from you." said Anna Sophia
"Decided to drabble in magic, Dearie?" asked Gold
"No, but I have a feeling Regina will but if I have the book she won't be able to use it to boost her magic. What do you want for it?" asked Anna Sophia
"How about that lovely bracelet you are wearing." said Gold
"Deal." Anna Sophia gives him the bracelet and he hands over the book.
Anna Sophia exits the shop.
A little while later, Regina enters the shop.
"I need the book. I need to get my son back." said Regina
"What book? O, it's come to that. You need your mommy's help." said Gold
"Give me the book." said Regina
" Are you sure you need the smell of the written word? Perhaps if you relaxed it would happen naturally." said Gold
"I don't have time. I just need a short cut back." said Regina
"Well, I don't either. Anyway, I don't have the book anymore." said Gold "I just sold it."
"Sold it? To who?" asked Regina
"Actually, she's a friend of yours ,dearie. A friend who you sent away with her daughter." said Gold
"Snow White… Snow White has the book?" asked Regina
"And it's the aggressive part of her so I have a feeling she won't give it up so easily." said Gold
"Life was so much easier with one Snow White but I have ways to make her give it up." said Regina
"Good luck." said Gold as Regina exits the shop.
Anna Sophia goes back to the apartment to hide the book when Regina come up behind her. "Hello, Snow White." said Regina
"Regina, if you're here for the book then goodbye." said Anna Sophia
"Then I suppose it's good night."said Regina
"Good night?" asked Anna Sophia confused. Regina throws poppy dust in her eyes knocking her out. She then takes the book and leaves.
A couple of hours later Anna Sophia wakes up and looks at her watch she rushes to town hall where everyone is waiting for Charming. "Ruby, is Charming not here yet?" asked Anna Sophia
"No, he isn' you have a plan?" asked Ruby
"Sorry been preoccupied with something."said Anna Sophia she sees Granny with a cross bow and takes out hers
"Do you two really need those?" asked Ruby
"A lawless town damn right we need them." said Granny
"What she said." said Anna Sophia
Anna Sophia and Ruby go towards Henry "Any luck?"
"He won't pick up." said Henry
"Keep trying." they say together.
"Everyone, Everyone. I know you were excepting Charming to tell you a big plan. He is running late but he will be here. I promise! Everyone just keep calm everything is under control." said Anna Sophia
Suddenly the doors of town hall burst open and Regina walks in "My what a nice turn out. No need to fuss it's just little old me. " she said as she walks.
"Get out of here you stone hearted, magic wielding bitch!" yelled Anna Sophia "You are not getting what you came for so go home."
"That was such a nice greeting, Anna Sophia but I'm afraid that I am getting what I came for and I'm not leaving til I do." said Regina
" Think about what you're doing." said Jimminey
Regina calls him bug and uses her magic to throw him then does the same when Grumpy tries to come forward. Granny and Anna Sophia try to shoot arrows at her but she catches them and sets them on fire sending the fire flying across the room. "Regina, you can't do this! I won't let you!" said Anna Sophia getting ready to shoot another arrow "You really think I'm afraid of you, Snow. You act tough but inside you are just a little mouse. Perhaps your appearance should show that more clearly. "Regina throws magic at Anna Sophia and changes her into a white mouse.
"Snow?" said Ruby as she picks Snow off the ground "Why did you do this? What do you want?"
"No, it's me." said Henry "She wants right, I'll come with you just leave everyone alone and please change Anna Sophia back."
"That's my boy." said Regina who then changes Anna Sophia back "Let's go home."
Anna Sophia gets up "No! Henry, you can't go with her." said Anna Sophia
"I have to." said Henry.
Regina and Henry walk out.
"Now what do we do?" asked Ruby
"I know what I'm going to do. I'm rescuing Henry. Red, go find Charming tell him to meet me at Regina's I may need back up." said Anna Sophia
Red leaves town hall.
Anna Sophia goes home goes to her linen closet and starts to take out bed sheets. She tries them together and puts a hook on the end. Then she gets in her car and drives a few blocks away from Regina's. She goes to Henry's bedroom window and Henry appears at the window. She takes out a rope made of bed sheets with a hook attached "Henry, catch!" Anna Sophia says as she throws the bed sheet rope up. Henry catches it and then clips it to the radiator. "OK, now nice and slow just like in the cave with Medusa." said Anna Sophia and Henry gets on the rope and starts climbing down. She barely makes it out the window when suddenly giant tree limbs start to wrap around him. "A barrier spell? Damn her!"
Henry struggles as the branches wrap around him. "Honey, don't struggle you'll get a splitter."
" How could you pull the same crap your mother pulled on you, Regina!" yelled Anna Sophia
"As I have told you before, Miss Blanchard how I raise my son is none of your concern."said Regina
"It most definitely is he is my grandson."said Anna Sophia
"You are a glitch. "said Regina "And when I told you to go away and never come back during the curse I meant it so go away and never come back."
"I am not leaving without Henry." said Anna Sophia who takes out her bow and arrow and points it at Regina
"This again you know I'll just set your arrow on fire." said Regina "So, why don't we stop playing around." Regina starts a fire ball and throws it at Anna Sophia who leaps out of the way.
"NO!" yelled Henry "Please! Grandma, please just go home. I'll be ok."
"I'm not leaving. I'm not letting Regina win." said Anna Sophia
"Yes you are." said Regina. She throws magic at Anna Sophia and she disappears.
Anna Sophia ends up back at the apartment. Anna Sophia quickly gets on her computer and goes on Skype. Not too much later, Henry is on his computer with her.
" I'm sorry, Henry. I tried to stop Regina by getting hold on her mother's spell book before she did. Unfortunately, she used poppies and stole it back from me." said Anna Sophia "I'll figure out a way to get you out of this though."
"I know you will. You and Gramps are heroes. " said Henry "It's just… I've read about the evil queen and read about her but I never saw her do anything truly evil until she tried to kill Gramps. I hate her and I want to go home."
"And I'll figure out a way to get you home. I promise." said Anna Sophia "You just have to hang in there. Don't lose faith, Henry. You may feel alone right now but you're not. I'm here." said Anna Sophia
Regina enters, "Henry, I think she should talk."
"Fine." said Henry
Regina goes to sit on Henry's bed and Henry goes over and sits down.
"I know this seems harsh, honey but it's for your own good. There are dangerous people out there who want to take you away." said Regina
"Those people are my friends and family and they are only dangerous to you." said Henry
" So,How long am I in prison til I grow up?"
"I rescued you because I love you."said Regina
"I'm in prison because you love me? That's not fair." said Henry
"Where I was from was very unfair. This land is the fairest of them all." said Regina
" Regina, the only person that made that world unfair was your mother when she killed your true love." said Anna Sophia
Regina turns towards the screen " No, you did you told her about him! When I told you not to!"
"I was young and stupid. You can't keep holding this against me!" said Anna Sophia
"Yes, I can because you keep taking the things I love away from me which is very unfair. You ruined my life." said Regina
Henry turns to Regina, " You are just unfair as anyone. You ruined lives. You sent away Mary Margret, Emma, and Anna Sophia."
"That was an accident." said Regina "And Anna Sophia came back."
"You changed Anna Sophia into a mouse was that an accident too?" asked Henry
"She's trying to take you away from me." said Anna Sophia
"Anna Sophia is my grandmother she has every right to have me in her life." said Henry
"Thank you, Henry but I can speak for myself." said Anna Sophia "Regina, the person who hurt more than anyone is the little boy in the room with you! You hurt him more than anyone else."
"That's not true." said Regina
"Yes it is. the way you treated me was not an accident you made me feel like I was losing my mind. You made it so no one believed me or even stood behind me in my belief except Anna Sophia. She's the only one you couldn't get to but you had me questioning everything and sent me to therapy for no reason." added Henry
"All of that will change." said Regina
"Those are just words, Regina. He wants actions." said Anna Sophia
"Then that's what he'll get." said Regina "Honey, I can teach you all the secrets you can live in a house with magic and have friends come over any time you want."
"No one will want to come over they're all afraid of you." said Henry
"You'll make them not be afraid!" said Regina
"That will require all the magic in the universe, Regina." said Anna Sophia
"You can make them love you." said Regina
"I don't want that. I don't want to force people to like me. I don't want to be you." said Henry leaving the room.
"Regina, You know better than anyone that magic is not love. Forcing him to stay here does not prove that you love him. If you love Henry you will take him back to David and me. You know that letting him go home with us is the only right way." said Anna Sophia
"I've become my mother." said Regina
"Yes you have but unlike your mother you can go back to being you. If you want Henry in your life you will try to change." said Anna Sophia
"What if he still doesn't want me in his life." said Regina
"You prove yourself to him and he will love you. Deep down he still needs you as his mom." said Anna Sophia
Regina nods and turns off the computer screen. About an hour later, Regina is down stairs thinking when David and Anna Sophia enter.
"We want to see him!" demanded David holding out his sword and Anna Sophia pointing her arrow at Regina just in case
"Henry, come down here." said Regina"You won't be using those."
Anna Sophia puts her bow down.
"I can fight whatever you conjure." said David putting the sword at Regina's throat.
"She means you won't need it. " said Anna Sophia "You're making the right decision, Regina."
Henry comes down. "Henry, you are going home with David and Anna Sophia. I'm sorry, I don't want to force you to be here or use magic. I want you to be here because you want to." said Regina
Henry goes up to get his things.
The Charmings leave. Suddenly, Anna Sophia gets dizzy and collapses on the side walk. She wakes up and notices that she is in some sort of prison with her sister and daughter, "I just had some nightmare." then she looks and sees the Cora is in the cell with them "And it appears I've woken up into another one."
