Nina hurried down the street, she would be too late for her appointment at the pool. It was almost eight o'clock. When she was almost at the pool she suddenly heard the clock chime. Surprised she stopped in her step and looked at the clock tower. The clock ran and even on the correct time. Suddenly she remembered that she was late, she quickly went inside and changed into her bathing suit. ''Morning Rick,'' she greeted the swim trainer, ''sorry I'm a bit late, but the strangest thing happened the clock runs and actually on time.''

''I believe that's the purpose of a clock.''

''No I mean the town clock.''

''Wow our mayor actually spend our money on the town. Well let's get started you've wasted enough of my time by being too late.''

Nina dove into the water and did her usual laps and exercises under supervision of Rick. She liked to stay in top condition. She had the dream of becoming a professional dancer preferably ballet but the birth of Eala had at least postponed that dream. She hated being stuck in this small town but she chose her daughter over her dream and opened a dance studio. She didn't have a lot of students but it kept her busy and gave her some savings. She knew that with every passing year her chances for a career became smaller. But she would audition for Julliard as soon as her daughter was old enough. Then she would take her with her and move away. She didn't know if her husband would go with her but she didn't care about it she would manage with the money she made.


When she was done swimming she went to Granny's Diner for a drink and to read the morning newspaper. ''Hi Ruby, can I have a juice and the newspaper,'' she said to Ruby the waitress who was a good friend of her since high school. Then she took a seat at the counter.

''Here's your drink and your paper Nina,'' Ruby said and handed her the order.

''Thank you,'' Nina smiled but then she saw the front of the newspaper. ''Who's this on the front,'' she asked Ruby who you could always depend on to know the latest gossip, of course it helped that she worked at the diner where almost everyone in Storybrooke came to eat.

''Oh, that's Emma, she is Henry's birthmother, she's staying and the B&B.''

''So there's a new person in town and immediately she has to be on the front page with only negative things about her.''

''It appears so.''

''I've got to stop reading this paper.''

''How's Eala?'' Ruby asked.

''Good, you should come visit, she likes her aunt Ruby.''

''I will soon.''


When she finished her drink Nina returned home and cleaned a bit and read a book. She had until the school ended before she had to pick up Eala and her lesson began. At ten for three she went to school to pick up Eala who ran toward her for a hug as soon as she left the school. ''How was school sweetie?''

''Great, Miss Mouse read a story about snow-white and the five Belgians.''

''I think you mean snow-white and the seven dwarfs. Let's go home, mommy's got to teach.''

''Can I watch?''

''Of course you can, you know with all that watching you'll soon be a prima ballerina.''


''Hello Derek,'' Nina greeted the concierge when she entered her studio.

''Hello miss Nina, hi Eala,'' he said and kneeled down. Nina looked at him, with his muscular figure, short brown hair and blue-gray eyes he was quite handsome he was also very likeable. And true she had feelings for him even though she was married and had a child.

''Everything set up for the lesson?'' she asked.

''Yes Miss Nina.''

''Good will you watch Eala while I change into my dance clothes?'' Eala would be in safe hands, she knew that Derek liked her. Sometimes she thought that maybe Derek would be a better father and husband then Corneel Rouge. No she mustn't think that, he was her husband and he loved her and she loved him in return.


After Nina's midday lesson with children she prepared dinner because her husband was very strict about having dinner on the table when he came home. ''I'm home,'' she suddenly heard her husband bellowing, ''is diner ready?''

''Five more minutes dear,'' she called back and quickly finished setting the table. Eala ran into the kitchen having heard that dinner was ready. Nina put the pans on the table as her husband sat down. ''Hello dear how was your day at the office?''

''Busy as usual. Did you vacuüm the house?''

''Of course dear.''


Can you guess who everyone was. That of snow-white and the five Belgians is what my brother actually once said when he came home from kinder-garden.
