Episode 1: Hyperion Heights
It was a beautiful day in Storybrooke. The sun was shiny, the birds were singing, and everything was looking bright. Henry had graduated, and was walking out of the house having a conversation with his mother, Regina.
"Henry, are you sure about this?" Regina asked, "I mean, I was hoping after high school you'd think of college."
"I know, but college isn't going to get me anywhere," Henry said, "I just... I need to do this. Operation Cobra is over. We did it, we have our happy endings."
"So then why leave?" Regina asked, not quite understanding.
"Because I'm still the author," Henry answered, "I've been writing everyone else's stories. I new to figure out what my story is, and it's not here. Not in this realm."
"Then where do you think it is?" Regina asked.
"I don't know," Henry replied, "But after I finished the book, I came back to the sorcerer's mansion, and you know what I found? Hundreds of books, and the stories I thought I knew, were told differently. Like you know how there's a French Snow White? And an Italian one? The possibilities are endless."
"But what does that have to do with you?" Regina said as she held Henry's hand.
"I'm not in any of them," he answered "I'm just me. It's time to figure out where I belong."
"I still can't believe Emma agreed to this," Regina said. Henry laughed. "Or Snow and Charming."
"They know that stubbornness runs in the family," Henry said. Regina sighed, and they embraced, Regina holding her son tightly.
"How long will you be gone?" Regina asked.
"As long as it takes," Henry whispered. They let go of each other, and Henry walked towards a motorcycle.
"I don't know what I'm more worried about," Regina said, "You running off to unknown realms, or riding... that thing."
"Relax, August taught me how," Henry said as he strapped on his helmet. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a magic bean. He threw it and a portal appeared.
"Henry, if that's the only bean you have getting back here is..." Regina started.
"Will be an adventure," Henry finished, "That's why I'm going. I love you mom." Regina slowly smiled.
"I love you too," Regina said as she ran over and held his arm. Henry smiled too. She let go of his arm, and sped off into the portal, to parts unknown.
A few year later...
Henry rode his motorcycle through a forest. He had explored many different realms, and still hadn't found his place yet. Meanwhile, a white horse drawn carriage was driving on the same road as him. They didn't see each other until last minute, and both tried to swerve. While Henry escaped unharmed, the carriage hit a rock, and the women who was riding in it was thrown out, and knocked unconscious. As the horse ran off, Henry hopped off of his motorcycle and ran to check on the women. The first thing he noticed about her was her glass slippers. He looked back at the carriage, then looked back at the women again.
"Cinderella?" he said.
Lucy was riding on the monorail in Seattle. She had done her research very thourghly, and she was certain that this was where her father lived. She looked down at the book she was holding: Once Upon a Time. Finally, she was going to see her father after all of the time they spent apart. She got to the building, and found her way to door 815. She knocked on the door, and a man opened the door.
"Hello?" he said.
"Are you Henry Mills?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah... Yeah, who are you?" he said.
"My name is Lucy. I'm your daughter," she said. He paused for a moment.
"I don't have a daughter," he said. He tried to shut the door, but Lucy stopped him.
"Yeah, you do," she said, "Now come on, your family needs you." Henry got a look on his face that she couldn't quite read.
"Why don't you come inside," he said.
