Also, Red and Ella try to awake Snow's memories. Please remember to review! I want to know what you guys think. After all, you guys are the reason I'm writing this in the first place! Here you go!

Henry

I sat at the back of the class smiling. It was Friday and I had a plan to convince Ms. Blanchard to narrate our play. I looked over at Ava Zimmer. She smiled at me and nodded, signaling everyone knew what to do. I smiled back at her and saw her silver sparkle. Ava and her brother Nicholas are awake! They've been awake ever since they went home with their dad. They wanted me to keep it a secret but they still are a part of Operation Cobra. I looked at Hansel and he was nodding too. A minute later, the bell rang. Ms. Blanchard started to clean up when she noticed no one left.

"Why are you guys still here?" She asked.

"Ms. Blanchard," Gretel started, "We want you to narrate our play."

"But why?" Ms. Blanchard asked.

"We think you'll do it better than us." Hansel said.

"Please Ms. Blanchard." I begged.

"If I say yes will you all go home?" Ms. Blanchard sighed. We all nodded vigorously. "Fine, I'll do it." We cheered and then piled out of the room.

"You guys were great!" I told Hansel and Gretel. They smiled at me. They were the first real friends I ever had.

"You weren't too bad yourself." Gretel smiled. Hansel nodded. Gretel usually does all the talking.

"Thanks." I smiled. "Are you guys sure you don't want me to tell the others?"

"No way." Gretel said, "We could actually slip if anyone else knows."

"Yeah." Hansel agreed.

I sighed, "You can trust them." The twins looked at me curiously. "Have you ever read their stories in my book? They know all about loyalty besides I can help you by calling you by your fake names more often."

Gretel looked nervous. "Are you sure?"

"Positive." I said, "Red can help you get into character Ava." I used her real name since we just walked outside.

"Alright." Gretel said, "We'll talk to Ruby." I waved goodbye to my friends as I headed home.

"Meet me at Granny's at 4!" I called. They nodded and walked towards Granny's to talk to Red.

Gretel

Hansel and I walked into Granny's and looked around for a booth. We found one in the back and waited for 'Ruby' to come and take our order.

"Hey guys." 'Ruby' smiled when she came over, "So what'll it be?"

"Actually," I said, "We're here about Ms. Blanchard's class play. I'm Red and he's Mayor Tomkins."

"Oh right." 'Ruby' smiled, "Come upstairs, I've got all the costumes." We followed her upstairs and into a room. We gasped when we walked in. There were costumes everywhere. On hangers, in the closet, on the bed, on the rug and hanging from the ceiling. "I'm still getting organized." Red smiled.

"Thanks for helping us Red." Hansel said. I looked at Hansel and saw his gray sparkle. "Hansel!" I thought. He wasn't supposed to call her Red! We were supposed to tell her we remember once we start talking. I looked at Red and saw her smile grow bigger. Then, I saw it. A red sparkle in her right eye.

"Hansel?" she asked, "Gretel?"

"Hi Red." I smiled and remembered when we first met.

Hansel and I walked through the Infinite Forest, unsure of where we were going. Suddenly, a wolf appeared. It had brown fur and golden eyes. We froze but a minute later the sun rose and the wolf transformed. It's brown fur became wavy brown hair. It's golden eyes became hazel and it wore a long sleeved white shirt, brown vest and long red skirt. The wolf was a human. She walked over to a bush and pulled out a red hood and put it on. Then, she turned to us. We had not moved an inch.

"Hello there." She said kindly, "I'm Red. Are you kids lost?"

"No." I said, "We're just looking for our father. He's been missing for a long time. I'm Gretel and this is my twin Hansel." Hansel smiled at Red shyly.

"How'd you two end up in the Infinite Forest?" Red questioned.

"The queen sent us here after we did her a favor and refused to be her kids." Hansel said.

Well you kids better find your father soon." Red said, "The Queen has threatened a dark curse that will take away our happy endings. If you don't find him soon, you won't find him for 28 long years." We gasped. Red promised to help us for a little while but she had to return to the castle to meet with Princess Snow and Prince James.

"How long have you been awake?" Red asked.

"Since we went home with our dad a few months ago!" Hansel explained excitedly. I rolled my eyes. He was so excited that we found Dad. I was too but Hansel passed me on the excitement bar a long time ago.

"You found him?" Red gasped. I nodded with a huge smile on my face. "That's fantastic!" Red smiled.

"Can you help us get into character for the play?" I asked.

"I can do better than that." Red smiled, her eye sparkling, "I can give you guys your costumes and tell you the story first hand!" My smile grew. Red was a very good friend. Red went to her closet and pulled out a long sleeved white shirt, brown vest, long red skirt, leather boots and a red hood. "This is for you Gretel." I gasped. The costume was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I ran to the bathroom to put it on. When I came out, Hansel ran in with his costume.

"How do I look?" I asked Red. Red smiled and adjusted the hood for me. Hansel came out wearing a wooly brown sweater, brown pants, a brown vest and a brown beret.

"You look just like Tomkins." Red exclaimed. Hansel smiled at the praise. "So where does your play start?" Red asked. I handed her the script and she looked at it excitedly. It started when she first got her hood. "Alright so when I was 13, I loved staring at the full moon during wolfstime but Granny never let me so I stared at it through my window and caused myself to go wolf without knowing it. One day, Granny called me into the cottage and showed me the beautiful red hood you're wearing Gretel. I loved it and vowed never to take it off. I kept that promise until one night when I was older. Snow and I traded cloaks so Granny would think I was at home when I was really with my true love Peter. Snow and I thought he was the wolf but it was actually me. I killed Peter and when Granny and Snow showed up and threw the hood over me, it was then I realized the truth and I never got over Peter." I reached out and touched Red's hand and gave her a smile. Then, I checked the time.

"Oh no!" I said. "We were supposed to meet Henry downstairs!" Quickly, we took off the costumes and headed downstairs to talk to Henry about Operation Cobra and the play.

James

I walked into Granny's to find Henry talking with Ava and Nicholas. I smiled at him and headed upstairs. Ella wasn't working now so Red was going to give Snow the note. I walked into Red's room and gasped. Red was kneeling near a mannequin wearing a very familiar outfit. It was a white shirt, red jacket with gold embellishing, black pants and boots. It was the outfit I wore to wake Snow.

"Do you like it?" Red asked.

"Where'd you find it?" I gasped.

"At the costume shop. I also have the white feather dress and cloak Snow wore when you woke her up."

"Thank you Red." I smiled at my longtime friend and handed her the next note. Red smiled and started to clean up. She and Ella were going to show Snow her old box of memories. I went to my room just as I saw Red go down the stairs.

Red

I walked over to Snow. Ella was going to be here soon but I had to get this note and coco thing done with now. "Hey Mary." I smiled.

"Hi Ruby." I gave her the coco and note. Again, there was no breeze. This would be frustrating if she didn't remember certain things. I already knew what the note said. I read it after James was in his room.

Dearest Mary Margret,

In response to your questions, my favorite animal is a horse, my favorite season is winter and my favorite drink is hot coco as well. Here is more information about me. My favorite color is blue, my favorite gem is a diamond and my favorite holiday is Christmas. Please remember that I will find you. I will always find you no matter how long it takes.

Ella was running late so I couldn't invite Snow up yet to look at the box of memories. Finally, Ella walked in with Alex. "Where were you?" I asked.

"Alex wouldn't stop crying." Ella explained. I looked at the baby.

"She looks fine to me." I admitted.

"That's because I took her with me." Ella explained. We walked over to Snow. "Hey Mary, you want to come and hang out with Ruby and me?" Ella asked. Snow looked at the clock and shrugged.

"Sure why not?" We walked up the stairs and as we passed Henry, Hansel and Gretel's table, I noticed that they were looking at a picture in the book. It was a picture of Snow and me after she admitted she was stealing eggs from Granny and me.

Ok thanks so much to everyone who reviewed! Your reviews are what are inspiring me to continue! So how many of you were surprised at the costumes? I used those two because, in my opinion, they are the best outfits they wore on the show and I really wanted to use the costumes from that iconic moment. How many of you were surprised that I woke up Hansel and Gretel? It's like Thomas and Ella. Emma gave them their happy ending and so I thought that they had to be awake. Ok so next chapter, the rehearsals for the play will begin. Emma begins her custody war for Henry and Red and Ella awaken some of Snow's memories with her father. So see you guys next time and please REVIEW. I want to know what you guys think of this story.
