Adventures of Henry Mills and Co.
Author: TurquoiseRainLilies, you maybe call me Lilies
Genre: Humor
Chapter: 2/10
Characters: Henry Mills, Paige, Ava and Nicholas Zimmer, Ruby Lucas, plus THREE OCs (one of them is me, I'll let you guess who)
Summary: Henry Mills has a problem, his whole life was depicted in a Prime Time TV and he has no idea how it happened. All he knows are that some guys named Eddie and Adam are behind this. Is this just an innocent coincident? Or is something even bigger behind the likeness of the two realities?
Note:So cliffhanger at the end? I know this is all very OOC! I do not own OUAT, if I did you would see more character development and better writing, no offense, but I mean, SEASON 2? Could've gone better. Oh, and I would also NOT MAKE PINOCCHIO DIE! Anyways, lots of things to change, but sadly I'm not Eddie nor Adam, that's why I'm having Henry going after them and killing them...not really...maybe...
Chapter II: I Wikipedia-d My Life
We made it half way to the town line before something, or should I say someone, stop us.
"Where are you going?" Ruby demanded.
Okay, so we weren't really half way to the town line, we were at Granny's Diner ordering food for the trip. It had been surprisingly easy getting into Emma's vault. Two hours later I had a bag of cash that only the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming could earn from a being a sheriff.
"Nothing." I innocently stuff half dozen sandwiches into my bag.
Ruby narrowed her eyes, and that's when her resemblance to Granny really kicked in, "Are you going somewhere?"
"Steveston." Nicholas said immediately. We all stared and him, and I bet they were all wishing for his death note right about now.
"In British Columbia?" Ruby said nonchalantly as she packed up and gave me four bottles of Ginger Ale in a box, "That seems a bit far."
"Yeah, well we wanted to go on a road trip." I glanced nervously around the town, hoping that Gran won't chose this moment to start having some Charming Family Fun Time and drag me wherever.
"So Emma let you go?" Ruby said conversationally. I wonder what was the purpose of all this.
"Not exactly."
That's the thing about Ruby, being a werewolf and a Fairy Tale character, she's got double the awesomeness, plus she's only like twenty something on the outside because of the weird way magic has influenced growth of adults in this town, basically we all aged the same until we're an adult, then we stay pretty much the same for like 30 years. Also, Ruby makes a mean ham n' cheese, and doesn't really care too much about rules.
"Even better." She smirked, "I'm guessing you don't have passports, and also, none of you are eighteen."
"We have passports!" I protested. It came with the curse, weird. If one of us were like terrorist or something we'd have no problem going to any other country, but thankfully we're all just one big happy family in Storybrooke, almost literally.
"But you're also minors." Ruby smiled. It was getting on my nerve.
"What do you want?" Ava demanded, while eating her ice-cream cone so she didn't look half as menacing as she could. Having lived off of the streets for twenty eight years, even under the curse, Ava was tough.
"I have the same problem as most of you." Ruby sighed, "I've never been any where my entire life, so maybe…" She sounded like Paige for a scary second, "…I could come with you?"
I blinked.
A regular car has five seats; so to speak Ruby could come. Not to mention she's an adult and all that so she could buy us stuff without looking too suspicious.
"Uhh…" Paige stuttered, which was weird for anyone that knew her, "I don't-"
I knew what she was thinking; Ruby could either be incredibly helpful, or incredibly annoying, being all 'mom' like and everything. Plus, she'd probably tell Emma.
"I won't tell on you." Ruby promised, "Come on, you all understand what it's like to be trapped in here!"
I don't, but a dreamy look came across the three other. Even with the town line curse broken, they haven't had a real reason to leave town, until now.
"Fine." I grumbled, "But you're getting the car."
Ruby smiled, "Fine, but I get to pick the music too."
We made it to the Airport without anything weird happening.
There were a couple of options as to where we could land, but international price was really expensive, so we settled for a plane ride to Portland, Oregon, before road-tripping over to Canada. It was expensive, but between what I got from Emma's bank, the four of our saving accounts, and whatever cash Ruby earned at the diner was just enough for our plane tickets, and Cinnamons (yum!). We crashed at the hotel near the airport (Holiday Inn :) because for some weird reason, we don't have an available flight until the next morning.
That's when the panic actually started to settle in. We basically crossed the town line and left home without any note for our parents (except for the message Ruby left, because she made us) regarding the weird Eddie and Adam people who stalked our lives. What if something goes down in Steveston and we can't handle it?
We're all a little anxious I guess, this was a huge rule we just broke. It was a widely known knowledge that none of us should cross the line except for emergencies (like we ran out of chips or something), and now the five of us did. The Mad Hatter's daughter, Hansel and Gretel, Grandson of Snow White and Prince Charming, and Little Red Riding Hood, I don't know how to explain to half of the kids in my class that I'm the son of the savoir, let alone the world. They'll probably sent us in a lab and test the hell out of us, like Greg and Tamara, but luckily full moon isn't for another two weeks, and Ruby brought her cloak just in case.
It was Paige who had the admittedly brilliant idea of downloading the whole first season of Once Upon a Time off of iTunes so we could check it out. We took it off of Ruby's card because mine linked to my mom, and she'll probably find out and check out the show and leads to another lot of problems. We had a marathon, and spent the whole night watching the episodes. It was weird, half fairy tale land and half Storybrooke, but it did capture most details. I say most.
"I wasn't that short when I was ten!" I cringed as TV!Henry made his first appearance in the Pilot.
"Sure you were." Ava and Paige chorused at the same time, eating their sandwiches. Nicholas was so engrossed in the TV that he didn't even bother to make a snarky comment.
We saw how TV!Regina started the curse (I shuddered at the thought of me and my sort of grandfather slash step great-great-grandfather and I shared the same name), TV!Mary Margaret woke TV!David from his coma (that was weird, they were kissing?), met TV!Cinderella and her pregnant child for 28 years (little Alexandra was cuter as a kid, now she's a 5 year old terror), Jiminy Cricket and the mines and Gramp's really bad haircut and my dad as a child (he was as cute as I was), when we reached True North.
Ava and Nicholas screamed as the first scene came to view, and TV!Henry was reading Marvel (uggh, did I really like Marvel as a kid? DC was so much better), then we saw…Ava.
"OMG IT'S ME OMG IT'S ME OMG IT'S ME!" Ava and Nicholas laughed. Paige threw a piece of popcorn at them.
"Someone's jealous." She mused as she resumed watching. TV!Henry scowled at TV!Nicholas, until he found out that TV!Nicholas was TV!Ava's brother.
"I was 10!" I cried, "Get over it!"
Paige just threw a piece of popcorn at me. Ruby muttered something about crazy children, but smiled never the less.
We resumed until Dreamy and fell asleep on the floor.
Waking up I was sprawled across, my foot banged against the bed as I try to stand up.
"Good, you're awake."
Standing over me as Ruby, who had gone into mama wolf mode and shouted at all of us to start cleaning up. I groaned and face planted on the floor, which was hardwood (seriously, what kind of hotel has hardwood floor?) so that hurt a lot. Paige whacked me on the head with a piece of newspaper and I had to start packing up.
Two bags of discarded snack litter and a mad dash for the shower later, we were ready; high on coffee, grumpy, and a little bit irritated from sleeping on the floor, but ready. Ruby checked out at the counter while Ava and Nicholas played on my Mac (darn). Paige looked nervously at her cellphone.
"Are you expecting a call?" I joked. The only people that usually call her were all right here.
"Just wondering what my dad thought." She looked down. I totally forgot about Jefferson, who showed up randomly one day and invited Paige to his HUGE mansion. It was weird at first, as Paige lived with this other family for most of her life, but she got used to it.
"I'm sure is fine." I reassured her, even though now I feel the cold metal of my iPhone (ya, I'm an Apple lover, get over it), wondering if Emma, Regina, Neal, or maybe even Gran or Gramps would call. They would, but how would I explain? If I could.
"Check this out guys!" Nicholas shouted and gestured over to MY laptop, "Spoilers for the next episode of Once Upon a Time!"
I rolled my eyes, "We already know what's going to happen on the next episode of Once Upon a Time, it's the Queen is Dead, right? Gran's mother Eva dies or something." I picked up my book from my backpack and showed them the chapter, in the middle of the book. A picture of the dying Queen Eva on her death bed was a little disturbing, but we're all used to it by now.
"It's just that…" Ava frowned, "I never knew that The Blue Fairy was involved."
"It was Cora." I replied, "Basically young Snow got Cora'd or something, it's ancient news really."
We all shrugged.
A ringtone suddenly started playing and we all reached for our phones, but the noise belonged to Paige's Blackberry (sucker), and she made a small whimpering noise that resembled a lost puppy.
"Jefferson?" I guessed, Paige's dad was super overprotective, plus we talked about him earlier, that probably jinxed it.
"Yep." She nodded, "I can't talk to him! He'll ask weird and uncomfortable questions and I can't answer them!"
Ava muttered prissy and took the Blackberry away from the other blonde girl, "Just get it over with!" she hissed, "Longer you wait, the longer he'll worry, and then he'll activate that secret tracking device he put on you when you were little."
Paige looked alarmed until she realized that Ava was joking, but it was a bit late.
"Hello Mr. Hatter!" Ava greeted cheerfully, even though we all know that Jefferson's last name was not Hatter, "its Ava, Paige is too busy at the moment making out with Nicholas and doing drugs, but I'm sure she'll be happy to call you back in a minute."
Paige was glowing bright red and snatched hopelessly at her cheap phone, but Ava was stronger, having been the Woodcutter's daughter, "Yes, Ecstasy AND weed, it's a rite of passage for girls at her age. She turned 15 a while ago, right?"
"You are so dead Zimmer." She looked murderous and was almost about to tackle Ava if not for the sudden reappearance of Ruby, who was carrying a shopping bag in her hand, "What's this about weed?" she said mildly, as if teenager drama didn't affect her at all.
"Paige is smoking it!" Ava laughed as she waved at the angry girl from across the lobby, "I'll tell Paige you said 'hi' Mr. Hatter, just as soon as I peel her off from Nicholas' face." Oh, Nicholas, by the way, just played Angry Birds on my Mac, figures.
"Bye!" Ava grinned evilly, then snapped the line and threw the phone across the lobby. The poor little device flew across Holiday Inn and landed in a heap of wires and sparks near the door, where an overweight man stepped on it as he entered, then the suitcase rolled over it, then it somehow landed on the street, where a car crushed it, and then it exploded.
"My phone!" Paige cried, and ran after the poor exploded thing, "You killed it!"
Ava shrugged, "At least your dad won't call again."
Paige looked like she could kill, if not for Ruby chatting, "Let's get some food before we head to the airport!"
The airport city was not very busy, it being early in the morning AND March, where people don't really go on vacations and what not. We sat by the only 24 hour coffee shop and drank another cup, so now we're all wide awake and drumming our legs in anticipation.
"I can't take this!" Paige cried, she was still pretty shaken up about the whole Mr. Hatter thing, "I have to call him!"
"Shush child." Ava had a weird impression of an Asian guru person, "All things happen for a reason."
Paige glared and sipped her coffee, making her bounce even more in her seat.
"Well I'm not getting reception for my cellphone." Ruby checked her red (duh) iPhone (yesss) and stood up, "I'll go outside."
Since we sat by the window seat, we could still see our guardian/babysitter/au pair person thing-y when she went out. It must look pretty weird, four teenagers and an adult sipping coffee out of fashion clothes and looking pretty tired despite all the coffee we had. I sighed and pulled my Mac out to Wikipedia Once Upon a Time again.
Once upon a time is an American television series that premiered on Sunday October 23, 2016 on ABC. Once Upon a Time is a fantasy-drama series that takes place in the fictional seaside town of Storybrooke, Maine, in which the residents are actually characters from various fairy tales that were transported to the 'real world' town and robbed of their real memories by a powerful curse. Episodes typically feature a primary storyline in Storybrooke, as well as a secondary storyline usually from another point in a character's life before the curse was enacted. The show airs Sunday nights at 8:00pm ET/7:00pm CT
"Hey!" I cried, "New ONCE today!"
Paige looked up from her brooding, "Of course, it's Sunday, but what did it matter? We know what's going to happen."
I shrugged, "I just want to see who they've casted as Eva, that's all, she is my great-grandmother."
"You family confuses me." Nicholas declared.
"It confuses everyone." I agreed.
Ava looked as if she wanted to say something, probably about how nice it was to have a normal family and rub it in my face, before a scream broke us out of our trace.
"OMG! IT'S MEGHAN ORY!"
