A/N: This story takes place two weeks after Christmas In Storybrooke. If you haven't read it, I have added a recap for the things that will come up in this story.
Here's What You Missed In Storybrooke:
A few weeks after Emma, Snow, Mulan, and Aurora came through the portal, Christmas came to Storybrooke. Everyone was looking forward to spending the holidays with his or her families and loved ones, but Snow and Charming refused to let Regina see Henry for the holidays. Emma made plans to bring Henry over on Christmas, but she was angry when she found out that Henry had already made plans to see Regina behind her back. Furious, she stopped Regina from seeing Henry.
At Snow's Christmas party, Henry missed his mom and Emma decided to go with him to bring Regina to the party. Regina's entrance to the party was dramatic, but soon after the party was over, Snow and Charming allowed Regina to come over the next morning. Christmas morning came and Regina gave Henry and Emma tickets to Disney World and begrudgingly told Snow and Charming that they could come if they could find a way to cross the town line without losing their memories.
Emma and Mulan found a wooden August in the woods and took him to the hospital. The Blue Fairy and her fellow fairies came to visit and returned August to human form on the condition that he would do the Blue Fairy a favor in return. August wrote Emma an apology letter and Emma decided to talk to him about what happened before she left for her trip.
And That's What You Missed In Storybrooke.
Henry Mills darted out of his mother's house, rolling a small red suitcase behind him. It had been two weeks since his mother had given him the tickets to Disney World for Christmas, and Henry had been unable to think of anything else. The next morning, he and Emma had researched the parks and made the perfect plan that would work for everyone. Henry had always dreamed of going to Disney World, and he was thrilled that it was finally a reality. He stopped at the sidewalk and turned around.
Soon, Regina Mills exited the house, locking the door, then double and triple checking that it was locked. While she wasn't as excited as her son, she was still looking forward to spending some quality time with her son and Emma. Her excitement couldn't even be dampened by the fact that the two idiots had managed to find a way to cross the town line and would be joining them on their vacation. She reached her son and took his suitcase from him, unlocking the trunk of the van she had rented. She would have been perfectly fine with driving Henry in her car and having Emma drive her parents in that hideous yellow bug of hers, but Henry had managed to convince her that they needed a van to fit the whole family. The things she does to make her son happy. She placed the suitcases in the trunk and turned around.
Right on cue, Emma's bug pulled up and parked behind the van. Emma Swan stepped out of the car, smiling over at Regina and Henry, who ran over to her. She pulled him into a hug as Snow White and Prince Charming got out of the backseat. Regina frowned at them, as they went to get their luggage from the trunk. Emma and Henry came up to Regina.
"Hello," Regina smiled at Emma, feeling her heart beat unusually fast.
Emma smiled back, "Hey." On the outside she was keeping a subdued expression, but on the inside she was jumping up and down with excitement. She had never been on vacation before and she would finally get to see what all of the fuss was about.
Snow and Charming made their way over with their luggage, and Emma helped them load the bags into the trunk. When everything was packed, they shut the trunk and everyone piled into the van. Regina in the driver's seat, Emma in the passenger's seat, and Henry, Snow, and Charming in the back.
They pulled away and Regina looked at Henry from the rearview mirror, who had pulled out his guidebook to Disney World. She glanced at Snow and Charming huddling in their jackets which had been covered with a potion given to them by Gold to keep their memories intact when they crossed the town line. She took a deep breath and decided that nothing would stop her from having a good time, not even the two idiots.
Emma watched as Storybrooke passed by her window. She hoped that nothing happened to the town while they were gone, but she knew that the combination of Mulan, Ruby, Granny, and Belle would be able to take care of any trouble while they were gone. Soon, Storybrooke was a speck in the side mirror and they were on their way to the airport.
Unbeknownst to them, somebody had been watching the family's exit. On top of a building several feet away, a pirate with a hook for his hand watched through a telescope. He turned to his companion, "They're gone."
Cora Mills smirked, "Perfect." She would be seeing her daughter again soon enough, but she had to put her plan in motion before she could make the trek to this so called, "Disney World." That world and all of the others would soon be hers.
