This is for creative purposes only. You're welcome to review but keep in mind that this is not intended to be a story-like fanfiction. It's just a little scene that I wanted to do - so I did it. I do not own the show nor the characters, this was just for fun.
INT. MR. GOLD'S SHOP - EVENING
GOLD looks over to see Emma entering the shop. It appears to be
Dreary outside, looking to be in the late afternoon.
EMMA walks over to him, as he is standing behind the glass show case
Like usual. She appears to be very troubled, and nervous about something.
MR. GOLD
(His voice is low as he speaks)
Ah, I was expecting you.
EMMA
(Her voice is shaking slightly)
How can I save her?
MR. GOLD
(He tilts his head to the side, giving her
A questioning look. But he obviously knows
Whom she is speaking of. )
I'm sorry, who are you referring to?
EMMA
(Somewhat Angrily)
You know damn well who I'm referring to.
MR. GOLD
I'm afraid I don't, dearie.
EMMA
Regina. She's…
You have to help me.
MR GOLD
(He laughs lowly, and shakes his head)
I don't have to help you do anything, dearie.
EMMA
She is your grandson's mother!
MR. GOLD
(Somewhat sarcastically)
As I recall, you two have fought that subject out for some time.
I thought he was just your son?
(He emphasizes 'your')
EMMA
(Emma hits her fist against the
Top of the showcase. She is obviously
Becoming annoyed.)
That doesn't matter right now.
I'll do anything, I can't let Henry down.
Not again. I still don't think he's forgiven me
Fully for lying to him about Neal. I can't let
Regina die.
GOLD pauses, and tilts his head to the side as he watches EMMA.
A knowing grin is on his face.
EMMA
Please.
MR. GOLD
Do you remember what I told you when Henry was under the sleeping curse? Hm?
EMMA
(She raises her eyebrow and looks at him
Nonchalantly)
I'm not gutting a dragon again.
MR. GOLD
Not that. Um , let's see. Oh yes.
True love - the only magic strong enough to
Transcend realms and break any curse. Think about
That for a minute.
EMMA
Regina's true love is dead. And I don't think throwing her in a
Portal to another realm is going to save her either.
MR. GOLD
Oh on the contrary Miss Swan.
A long moment of silence fills the room, and EMMA tilts her head
To the side as realization slowly dawns on her.
EMMA
But - but…I'm not -
MR. GOLD
Ah, I'll stop you right there.
Did you two not transcend realms?
EMMA
Yeah but -
MR. GOLD
And what did I say?
Let's see how well you pay attention.
Hint, the only magic.
(He emphasizes 'only magic')
Quietness fills the room, and Emma stares at Gold.
She is troubled with the idea that Gold is suggesting.
EMMA
What do we do?
MR. GOLD
Oh no Miss Swan. What needs to be
Done only you can do, and you alone.
However, if you need some advice on this particular
Subject, I suggest asking your father how he
Went about waking your mother.
GOLD'S smirk grows wider, and he leans onto his
Cain with both hands as it is extended in front of him.
EMMA is still baffled. She has just learned that she is Regina's true love.
She is confused, emotional, yet ready to do what she needs to do to save Regina.
