The Swan goes home
Minneapolis 1990
Under a bridge away from the other people is a young girl reading a book. She looks over at the other run away and go back to her book and rips out a page and throws it into the fire, she goes and rips another page when she heard someone say.
"You`re not really going to burn that".
Emma looked up at the teenage boy. "My problem right now is cold".
you`re out here your lack of kindling is the least of your problems. What`s your story?"
" I ran away from a crappy group and it`s none of your business". Emma said and was about to throw the pages in the fire when August stopped her and takes the pages.
"Please don`t, these stories are great. The ugly duckling I loved this one when I was a kid".
"You`re still a kid".
"You`re got spunk. When I was your age it was great the best fairies tales about the same thing transformation. The duck become the a swan it`s beautiful."
"It`s not what it`s about the duck was always a swan just didn`t know it. "
"Maybe that`s how you see it but I see it as about belief about a duckling who believed so hard to become a swan. One day it actually happened. We believe in something strongly enough we all have the power to change their fate.
Speaking of which is this really the fate you want. Your last home was bad doesn't mean you won`t find a good one day."
August thought for a moment maybe he could help her get a good home now. Helping her helps himself.
"What if I take you some where you belong, a good home."
Emma looked at the other teenagers and back at her new friend. "Where"?
"A town called Storybrooke Maine and there are two people you are looking for."
"Who?"
"Your parents."
In Storybrooke, Mr Gold walked out of his shop and sees two flowers by the shop door. One is a pixie flower and the other is buttercup but if he remembered he is, he would know that the flower is the same one on Snow White and Prince Charming`s coast.
He will see the flower again on a little girl.
