At 3:00 AM in the morning, a very excited (not to mention hyper) Henry bolted full-speed into his grandparent's room.

He eagerly switched the bright lights on and played a loud song on his cell phone- well, it was really Emma's, but that isn't the point.

"GUYS! WAKE UP!" Henry yelled.

"NO! NOT MY CUPCAKES!" Snow screamed, bolting upright in bed. Charming fell out from under the covers and onto the floor.

"Grandma, are you okay?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, you just startled me," Snow said, pressing a hand to hear heart in shock.

"I'm fine, too," Charming grumbled from where he was lying face-down on the floor.

"Guess what?" Henry babbled excitedly, ignoring Charming's remark. "We're going to Disneyland with the entire extended family and all!" Charming and Snow stared at the hyper little boy for s brief second. Finally, Snow broke the awkward silecne.

"What's Disneyland?" At this moment, Emma rushed into the room (good timing).

"Guys, I packed for you two. Now, we just need to go pick up Gold, Belle, Cora, Regina, and Hook." Emma paused for a moment, if only to catch her breath. "Then I'll lead us all to the airport," Emma said, clapping her hands together and beaming.

"Why Hook?" Charming groaned.

"Because the entire extended family is coming," Emma explained. "Hook counts as Henry's step-grandfather. That's why he's coming."

"What if Cora kills someone?" Snow whined.

"She won't," Emma said, haughtily glaring at her mother. "You need to stop with the whole 'she's-evil' thing. It's driving us all insane," she said.

"What if I kill someone?" Snow pressed. Emma rolled her eyes.

"Are you getting old and forgetful, or something? Hello? You're Snow frickin' White. You wouldn't kill a fly. The day you kill something..." Emma shuddered. "Is the day the world is under a zombie apocalypse and Slenderman is our ruler." Snow gave her a puzzled look.

"What's a Slenderman?" Emma groaned.

"Well... Slenderman is... um... oh, forget it, you'll get nightmares." Snow laughed.

"What I get is worse than nightmares," she said, a funny look on her face.

"How can it be worse than nightmares?" Emma questioned curiously.

"Have you ever had a dream where all the animals were singing and you were skipping around singing 'Happy Working Song'?" Emma pondered this for a moment.

"Probably not," she finally said.

"My point," Snow said.

"Guys! I'm still here!" Charming moped.

"Okay," Snow said, turning her attention back towards Emma. "But what is a Disneyland, anyway?"


"Regina, you need to take off your high heels," Emma pressed. The Queen defiantly shook her head.

"No. They're my heels. MINE." Emma groaned and suppressed the urge to bang her head against the table.

"It's only for a minute. Then you can put them back on." Regina stared at her, as if Emma was asking her to surrender Henry instead of her shoes.

"Hey, mom, if you get over here, then we can go get an ice cream or something, just the two of us," Henry called from the other side of the security line. Regina's shoes were in the bin faster than Emma could think 'nice one, Henry'.

"I hate airports," Gold grumbled from the corner.

"Come on, honey, we just need to put our stuff in there, okay?" Gold rolled his eyes.

"What do you know? Next time, they'll ask us to take off our goddamn clothing," he mumbled. Emma shook her head.

"They won't. Just do it, okay?"

"I'd love to see you without your-" Hook began, before Emma stomped on his foot in frustration.

"Can you go five minutes without an innuendo?" Hook pretended to contemplate this idea for a moment.

"I don't know, love. I am a pirate," he said after a long moment.

"And I am married, you know," Emma shot back. "I'm being serious."

"And I'm not," Hook quipped.

"Hey, where's Cora," Emma asked, abruptly changing the subject once she had passed the security check system. Snow's eyes widened.

"I think she went to that ice cream place with Henry and Regina... why, did someone die?" Emma slammed her palm up against her face.

"Why are you so set on the idea that someone is going to die here?" Emma groaned.

"Let's see... our entire extended family is here," Snow pointed out.

"Touché," Emma said.


"I can't believe I got the seat in between you two," Snow mumbled to Regina and Cora. "How did I get myself into this mess anyway?" Regina laughed for a brief moment.

"As if it's any fun for the two of us," Regina said.

"I SEE A BIRD!" Cora screamed from where she was sitting at the window.

"Shh," Regina said, leaning over and shutting the window before Cora could cause any explosions. "there are other people here, you know," she said.

"People and birds," Cora said.

"So, guys, do any of you know what a Slenderman is?" Snow said, smartly changing the subject.

"You don't know who Slenderman is?" Now it was Regina's turn to shout.

"Umm... no?"

"Slenderman is an internet meme. Some say his origins came from creepypasta, and-"

"What's creepypasta?" Snow wondered.

"Never mind," Regina mumbled. "That's what I get for creating a town in the 80s."
