I want to thank NCISGleek for being my first reviewer. I hope you enjoy this next chapter.
I do not own Once Upon a Time, nor am I Eddie or Andrew. Or anyone cool for that matter. This hurts my self esteem. I should just stop talking...
Storybrooke, Maine
Mathew started towards the diner. He hadn't been in town for at least a month, having just hung around the mansion for some time. The young man reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Without hesitation he placed one into his mouth and used the cheap lighter to get the flame going.
He took a large breath, feeling the smoke enter his lungs. By the time he reached Granny's Diner, he had already finished with the thing. Then he walked inside. "Good morning Mathew." He looked up and smiled at the elderly woman.
"Mornin' Granny" He replied, slipping into a booth, his standard location.
"Haven't seen you for a while"
"Just had a lot to do I guess. But your food keeps me comin' back" Granny rolled her eyes. Mrs. Lucas never really thought that his flattery was real. She was right. Mathew waited as Ruby came out from the kitchen. She delivered some waffles to Dr. Whale before coming over to his booth. "Hey Ruby"
"Hey Matt" Ruby said, sounding more annoyed than usual. "What can I get you?"
"How about tellin' me why you're so pissed this mornin'"
"I'm not pissed" Ruby said defensively. "So Diet Coke and pancakes?"
"I'll tip you if you tell me what's goin' on" The young man suggested. Ruby was never one to turn down extra cash, and he was prepared to use that.
"Or this evening you could buy be a drink at the bar."
"Will that get me my answer?" Mathew was planning on getting more than just an answer now, and his smile to the young waitress made that pretty clear.
Ruby answered the smile then went to fetch his order. The front door opened. Mathew glanced to see who was joining the quiet diner. But he had never seen this person before. The woman had blonde hair and a red leather jacket. She was pretty, but looked like she didn't want anything he was offering. Matt frowned more deeply. He wanted to know who this person was.
"Hey, earth to Matt" He looked up at Ruby. She was trying not to laugh. "I see you spotted Emma Swan."
"Who's she?" He asked. "I haven't seen her before"
"You'd better not be interested in her" Ruby warned. Mathew scoffed at the idea. Ruby smiled at the response. "She's Henry's biological mother apparently. He went to Boston and brought her back with him. She's been staying with Mary Margret"
"Huh"
"So there's a lot going on. And tonight, I can tell you about it"
"You givin' me a time?"
"Eight?"
"Works for me. See you then Rubes"
"Later Matt" Mathew started eating, keeping a careful eye on Emma, trying to figure out who she could be, and what she might have to offer...
Ta Da. I decided to go ahead and skip between Storybrooke and FTL. Hope you guys are good with that.
What do you think about Mathew? What are your first impressions? Any ideas about what I have planned for Sir Jacques' counterpart?
What do you want to see from when Snow was younger? Or do you just want for things to go straight to adult Snow on the run?
Please review, I feel lonely
