Here it is! The side story to the Hope series! To those of you reading this, thanks! To those of you who've read Hope and Faith, I will be updating Faith soon. Also, if you've read neither, I suggest reading those first since this is a kind of behind the scenes, bloopers story. This includes the cast as the cast and Olivia Holt, Hope's actress, as herself. Here, the very beginning, she is 13 like Hope. Also, I need a young actor to play Jack Overland/Jack Frost so if you have any actor that would work, suggest him and I'll look him up. Also, there will be one chapter for each episode, showing the cast filming. This story was inspired by ch. 39 of Echo by Purp1e Lady where she did bloopers and an interview. So if anyone has a question involving a chapter in Hope for season 1 or Faith for season 2, ask in a review and I will set up an interview if I get enough questions. This is purly a story and there is no way the actors themselves did anything you are about to read. Anyways, here's Hope: Behind the Scenes!


As the blonde girl walked down the street, you could see the excitement in her eyes. She was joining a show as a series regular and knew it would be a hit! Her long blonde hair blew in the wind as she looked around, her brown eyes wide in amazment. This is where she would work when she wasn't on the set of her other show, Kickin' It!, and knew she would love it. As she came towards a set, she smiled as she walked in to see cameras and lights set up. She looked around with a huge smile on her face when she heard her name.

"Olivia!" Turning, Olivia smiled as two adult men walked up. She had met them one time before, at her audition. Their names were Edward Kitis and Adam Horowitz.

"Hi Eddy, Adam." She greeted. As they reached her, Adam took her hand and shook it.

"We're glad you're here to join the show." Eddy smiled.

"I'm glad to join the show." Olivia smiled as she shook Eddy's hand before they led her to a conference room. Inside, she saw two women and a boy. One of the women had long blonde hair and the other short black hair. The boy had brown hair himself.

"Olivia," Adam introduced, "this is Jennifer, Ginnifer and Jared. They will be playing Emma, Snow and Henry." Olivia smiled,

"Nice to meet you." Jared walked up to her and curiously asked,

"Are you playing Hope?" Olivia nodded,

"Yeah, I am." Jared smiled,

"Looks like we have a lot of scenes together then." Olivia laughed slightly and nodded. She turned to Jennifer and Ginnifer and asked,

"So, you're playing a cursed mother and a savior daughter?" Ginnifer chuckled,

"Looks that way."

"I don't think it helps you have the same name." Olivia remarked. Jennifer shrugged,

"Nothing can be done about that." The four fell into silence until the door opened again and two more people were led in by Eddy and Adam.

"Guys," Eddy said, "This is Josh and Lana. Josh, Lana, these are Jennifer, Ginnifer, Jared and Olivia." The two named Josh and Lana came in.

"Let me guess." Jennifer said, "The Evil Queen and Prince Charming."

"Right." Lana smiled before turning to Jared, saying, "Looks like you're my adopted son here." Jared nodded. Josh, on the other hand, said to Ginnifer,

"You're playing Snow White, aren't you?" Ginnifer nodded,

"Looks like we have True Love." Olivia laughed lightly. The six were comfortably talking by the time Eddy and Adam returned with a man they called Robert and saying everyone was here. Sitting around the conference table, all seven actors and the two creaters began reading over the script.


Olivia sipped her hot chocolate as she walked onto the set early a week later. They had gone through the script and recorded her wish, so now they were going to filming. Her first scene as a fairy tale princess/cursed girl who got her wish granted. As she walked in, she gasped with what she saw. The set designers had built a complete replica of an orphan bedroom, complete with several beds, nothing on the walls and a small TV.

"Wow..." She gasped in amazment.

"You like it?" A voice asked. Olivia turned and smiled at Adam as he came up.

"Like it?" Olivia cried, "It's incredible!"

"This is only the beginning." Adam smiled as he led the young blonde actress to her dressing room. Olivia smiled when she saw her wardrobe. It was a simple white pajamas with dark purple lining. Putting it on, she waited until the hair and makeup team came in. They did so, 10 minutes later and began working on her. Her hair was washed and dried into waves with a perwinkle on the right side of her head while her makeup was natural yet felt like a lot.

"Perfect!" The makeup artist smiled and once they were gone, the 13 year old headed to the set.

"Ready?" Jared asked as he stood beside her. As the two youngest cast members, the two had grown closer over the past week. Olivia looked down and noticed Jared was ready for the scene on the bus, the next scene after this one.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Olivia said as she took a deep breath. She was nervous, yes, after all, she was the first thing the audience saw before Josh took over as Prince Charming waking Ginnifer as Snow White. The blonde smiled at Jared as he smiled at her encouragingly before she walked over and sat on the bed that was hers on the set, right in front of the TV.

"Once Upon a Time scene 1, take 1." The director said as a clapper was placed in front of Olivia, who kept her eyes on the green screen TV. "And...action!" Olivia stared at the TV as if engrossed in it. Once they finished all the filming, they were going to put the title card on it. After her scene, the title card would show and then Josh's scene with Ginnifer would come. Oliva gasped as if it ended. She blinked a couple times before looking at a clock on the wall and sighed. She reached up and took the periwinkle out of her hair and set it on the nightstand next to the bed. As she was about to get in, her eye caught the calender where it had a bunch of xs. The latest x was a week before a circled date. Grinning, Olivia ran to the window that was overlooking the dark morning sky. The camera outside caught the sky before moving to her. Olivia waited anxiously when she saw it. A shooting star. She closed her eyes and the voice over of her, as her thoughts, went,

"I wish I was on Once Upon a Time." She stared up at the sky sadly as she opened her eyes before making her way to the bed, climbing in and lying down, acting like she was sleeping.

"And...cut!" The director cried, "That was perfect." Olivia grinned as she got up and headed back to her dressing room to change for the next scene with Jared.


Olivia looked up at Jennifer as she and Jared stood before her.

"Uh, can I help you?" Jennifer asked.

"Are you Emma Swan?" Jared asked.

"Yeah, who're you?" Jennifer asked.

"My name's Henry. I'm your son." Jared smiled and walked in under Jennifer's arm. Olivia followed, calling to Jennifer,

"I'm Olivia." It was a second after she said it that she realized her mistake. She turned back with a laugh and said, "I meant Hope."

"Cut!" The director cried. Olivia grinned at the camera and said,

"Let's try that again."


Olivia smiled at the dog portraying Pongo as she pet him.

"What's his name?" She asked. Before the next line could be spoken, the dog licked her face and moved forward, knocking her to the street. Laughing, the blonde stood up as Jared asked, between laughs,

"Are you okay?" Nodding, Olivia pet the dog, saying,

"You weren't supposed to do that, bud." The dog barked and licked Olivia again. Olivia giggled as they began to set up again.


Olivia stood beside Meghan as they filmed Snow and Charming's wedding. As Lana walked away, Olivia shouted,

"You can't win!" Lana turned back as Olivia stood in between her and Ginnifer and Josh, continuing, "You can try all you want Regina, but you'll never win. Good always wins no matter what you do. Even if you separate all of us, even if you make us so miserable, even if you take away our memories, we will fight. No matter what we will fight and we will always find each other. Our hearts are connected no matter what you do and you'll never win. Our magic comes from our hearts while yours is forced and that is why we will always find a way. The light never dies! Even if you kill me I will draw strength from my family and friends and come back! They are my power and until my time comes I won't disappear, not physically or mentally!" Olivia tried to keep a straight face as Lana sneered,

"Allow me to make an example of your precious princess of flowers!" She acted like she was throwing something and as if it would hit her, Olivia closed her eyes and felt herself being lifted into the air as if she could fly. She opened her eyes slightly to see a soft pink spotlight on her, to be manipulated later as magic.

"Hope!" She heard Ginnifer scream. She met her eyes and she whispered,

"I kept my promise. I protected you." Olivia moved her eyes to meet Josh's, whispering, "Take care of her." Josh nodded and Olivia finished, shouting, "I will live on in your hearts! Never forget and I'm truly here!"

"It's alive!" A writer yelled, cutting the scene. Olivia opened her eyes.

"What?" She asked as she was lowered.

"The line. It's 'Never forget and I'm truly alive.'" Olivia smacked her forhead.

"And it was going so well." She whined as they fixed her dress again.


"Tell us what you know!" Ginnifer demanded.

"The Queen has created a powerful curse." Robert fortold as he explained the details of the curse, Olivia, Jared and Jennifer watched. "On the child's...28th birthday, the child will return." Robert fortold, "Your precious cousin will be with her, cursed like the rest of us. And the final battle will begin!" Robert began to laugh like a maniac as Josh led Ginnifer back down the set. "I want her name!" Robert demanded.

"It's a boy." Josh said.

"Missy, you know I'm right!" Robert called. Ginnifer closed her eyes. "Tell me...what's her name?" Ginnifer slowly turned back and answered,

"Emma...her name is Emma."

"Emma..." Robert grinned as the scene ended. Olivia met Jared's eyes and said,

"Talk about a creepy character." Jared nodded in agreement.


Olivia stood in front of a white screen wearing what would be her signature outfit. The dark purple dress was simple and easy to move in. Her hair was half braided and a periwinkle at the top of it. She had a silver necklace around her neck with a rose cut into it. She looked up with a faraway look in her eyes. Her poster would have her name, Hope, along the top with Martyr along the bottom. It was one of the things Olivia admired about her character. She wasn't afraid to stand up for what was right and would protect her cousin no matter what.

"You look just like a princess, Liv." Jared grinned from where he stood, wearing Henry's coat and scarf for the group shot. They had been preparing for weeks now and Jared and Olivia were now extremely close friends, Liv being her nickname, Jare being his nickname.

"Thanks." Olivia smiled as the camera stopped for a second before continuing on. "Except I'm missing the tiara." She added as a joke when she had another second. Jared laughed.


Olivia stood beside Jared, her hair braided and resting on her shoulder as she held her pose. Her arms were crossed and she had no smile. She wore jeans, a light purple shirt, a jean jacket and furry boots, a lavender in her hair. The had a bunch of mirrors placed where the fairy tale identites were going to be. Once they were finished, Olivia sighed in relief. It was now her time off and she was grateful. She quickly changed into her printed light pink shirt, jeans and jean jacket with boots. She smiled at Jared as they headed out. They ended up at a restaurant where they were unrecognized...yet.

"Do you think the show will be a success?" Jared asked. Olivia raised an eyebrow.

"Are you kidding?" She asked, "It's fairy tales that everyone knows and they're cursed in our world. I think more than a few people will be interested." Jared grinned at his friend as they talked some more, both hoping their show was well received.


Well, there's the first chapter. I hope you guys like it so far and find the bloopers funny at least. Anything similar to Purp1e Lady is chance and not on purpose at all. So if anyone has any questions for the stories, ask and they'll be answered in the first interview. By the way, does anyone know how far into filming they were at the first Comic Con they went to for season 1? It'd be helpful to know since I can put some questions in there. Anyways, hope you guys like Olivia and don't forget to suggest actors for Jack. He is a very important character and needs an actor ASAP or I'll have to withhold some chapters, something I don't want to do. Anyways, please review and check out Hope and Faith. Also, my rant for the second half of season 3 will be there for now just to spare you guys but next time there will be a rant as I will know if people are reading. Anyways...later.
