Disclaimer: I do not own "Once Upon a Time". If I did, I would know who the Sheriff was and if Rumplestiltskin is a good guy or a bad guy, but I don't.

A/N: This is just a random oneshot that's been floating in my head for a bit. Tag for episode 2.

Mary Margaret's POV

"It's silly."

With two words, I bashfully dismissed Henry's claim. It was silly.

Me – Snow White? It was ridiculous.

Not that there weren't times when I wished I was Snow White. A princess, with a handsome, brave prince who would save her and always protect her.

It was silly.

Snow White had courage that I didn't. A self-confidence that I only dreamed about. She would never have been afraid of the Mayor, who was just a woman.

But I was. I feared her – a mere woman, just like me.

Maybe, someday, I'd get to live out my fairy tale. A prince would come along and save me and who would protect me and love me, no matter what happened.

Sometimes, I wished Henry was right: that I was Snow White.

But still…it was silly.
