They were in a helicopter, flying high above the ground. The mission was almost done. Key word: Almost. Only one thing was left to do, dispose the bomb and get the girl. Well that's two things, but saying only one thing is left to do sounds cool, you get how these things work.

"I'm proud of you agent. You have accomplished what most agents struggle and die for. Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this bomb can't be dropped, civilians are at risk. You're gonna have to jump"

"Jump?! We don't even have any parachutes!" Emma yells "Are you out of your mind woman?! No way in hell am I-"

"Nice working with you agent" The lady says as she shoves Emma out of the helicopter

"WAIT WHAAATT?!" but it's too late, she's already making her way to her inevitable doom, falling from a 1000 miles without a parachute.

*Thud*

"Ouch" Emma exclaims as she rubs her head. She rubs her eyes and looks around. Great, it was just a dream. Of course it had to be cause there's no other explanation why Emma Watson would want to make out with her.

"Emma honey, you're gonna be late!" She hears her mom's chirpy voice

"Just a minute Ma!" She scurries to get ready as fast as she can.

Haphazardly putting together an outfit, she decides to wear a plain black tank top with her blue jeans and throws on her leather jacket. She leaves her messy curls down as there was no time to do anything with her hair. She picks up her boots and puts each one on as she stumbles down the stairs.

"Happy Birthday Emma!" Her parents and younger brother yell in unison. Her mom was holding up a small cake while her father and brother were holding balloons.

"Woah, thanks guys!" If she were being honest right now, she had completely forgotten that today was her birthday. She smiled at the three of them as they hugged her.

"Come on, let's cut the cake!" Henry screeches in excitement as he jumps up and down while holding on tight to the strings of the balloons. In fact, people would assume it was his birthday, by the amount of excitement and happiness radiating from him.

"Slow down kiddo" She says and smiles at him. The kid is a lot like her, she thinks. But then again, they are siblings and share 50% of their genes.

The family settles down at the dining table with Emma seated at the head. Her cake had a small star shaped candle, this had been the family's tradition ever since Emma was 4 and fascinated with stars.

"Go on, Emma. Make a wish" Henry whispers.

And that's what gets Emma, what should she wish for? She has everything that she needs and is happy with everything that she has. 'come on Em, this is just a stupid thing. Just cause you wished for something while blowing out a candle doesn't mean it'll come true' but something in her heart tells her that she should ask for something she has always wanted but has never had. 'Okay, here goes nothing. I wish to have an adventure. A marvellous, awesome, swashbuckling, movie like, amazing and enchanting adventure.' And she blows out the candle.

The whole family starts singing 'Happy Birthday' as she cuts the cake and Henry decides he should be the first to gobble up a huge piece of cake while their parents laugh at the way he had gotten cream all over his face.

"Okay, kids time to go to school. Your bus must be here by now" Their dad says after the four them finished their cake and and waffles. Both Emma and Henry are handed their lunch and given a kiss on the forehead before they run out of the house. Well, Emma runs out and Henry does an awkward waddle while trying to adjust his huge backpack.

"Wait up Em!" He yells as they make their way out of the driveway.

"'Hurry up slow poke!" She says as she slows down a little.

They get into the bus and Emma makes sure she's sitting at least three seats away from her brother and his tiny little friends. Not that she cares, but sitting with an 8 year old when you're 17 is not cool. Also, Henry's friends are annoying, maybe because they're all 8. As she looks out the window, her daily inner monologue starts, like she's in a movie or something.

'My name is Emma Nolan, the eldest of David Nolan and Mary Margaret Blanchard, two of the most respectable physicists. I have a younger brother Henry Nolan, he's nice, loves fairytales. My life is not very interesting, born and brought up in Storybrooke, Maine the most boring and mundane place on earth. I've got a bunch of friends, they can be idiots sometimes but they're fun. I have a non existent love life and am as gay as the pride flag itself.'

By the time she's done with her monologue, they had reached school. Emma gets down and heads straight to the high school building.

"Woohoo, here comes the birthday girl!" Neal announces and immediately Ruby, Belle, Rob, August and Elsa surround her and start throwing confetti at her.

"Okay guys, enough!" Emma says after two minutes and all of the friends are laughing "I'm not even gonna ask who's idea it was" she says as she looks at Neal. They all engulf her in one big group hug more like a group squish. Too many hugs for one day. "Come on, lets go to class" she says as she wiggles out of their grip.

The rest of the day goes on like any other day and by the time school ends Emma is more than happy to run back home. "See you guys at my place!" she says to her group of friends as she jogs up to the bus.

"Hey honey! How was school?" Her mom asks her as Henry runs to the kitchen to grab a snack.

"It was alright, where's dad? I thought the both of you had taken a day off?"

"Oh he's on his way back. We've got a surprise for you!" She says excitedly. Just then she receives a call

"Mom, I spilled ice cream on my shirt. Can you get me a fresh one from the laundry?" Henry asks

"Give me a minute Henry" Mary Margaret says as she continues to talk to a colleague on phone.

"Emma, can you get me a shirt" Henry turns to her and tries his best puppy eyes

"Why can't you go get it yourself, it's right in the basement" Emma says as she scrolls through her phone.

"I'm afraid of the basement, there's a monster in there" Henry says looking genuinely terrified at the thought of going there alone.

"There's no monster in there" She says and looks at him "Okay, how about I go with you?"

"Fine, but you'll have to protect me from the monster!" Henry shrieks

"Alright your majesty, let's go"

They make their way to the basement, one which Emma herself was afraid of at one point in her life. She flicks the lights on, it isn't very scary looking but since it's huge, it can scare a 3 foot 8 year old. Some of their parents' work equipment was in there too, several weird looking machines. Emma gets a shirt out for Henry and he quickly changes. While she's looking around, Henry makes his way to the other side of the basement and gets into a huge glowing cylindrical machine. Emma is quick to notice this and goes after him.

"Wow Em, look this tube thingy is so cool! It's got so many buttons!" Henry says, clearly fascinated with everything around him.

"Get out of there Henry. You know we aren't supposed to meddle with mom and dad's work stuff!" Emma says patiently.

"Okay" Henry says dejectedly and begins to step out. But just as he takes the first step he trips on his shoe laces and his hands land on the panel. The machine begins to activate and there's a look of pure panic in Henry's face. The machine starts whirring and though there's a lot of distance between Emma and the machine, she starts running towards it.

"Henry get out of there!" She yells at her brother who seems to have frozen in panic. She gets into the machine and picks him up but before she could get out, it was too late.
