Emma Different Once Upon A Time
Disclaimer I don't own Harry Potter or Once Upon a Time, the rights belong to JK Rowling and the ABC Studios. The speech will be mostly the same as the programme.
Snow White is making her way through dense forest, walking sure footed as she lead Prince Charming through the unknown, as he carries her sack of goods. Their path is interrupted by a huge ditch with a fallen tree the only way across it. Charming leads the way across walking like a trained gymnast, but Snow hesitates slightly at the edge. Seeing this Charming turns round and holds out his hand to help her. After fending for herself for years she hesitates at his hand but she still takes it to help her reach the other side of the tree.
As they are walking along a forest path Snow is playing with her necklace gently, Charming seeing this asks "I thought you weren't the jewellery type. What's that around your neck?" Snow seeing what she was doing drops the necklace and says "Don't worry about it." Charming not liking to be ignored snatches the necklace off her neck, Snow panicking jumps up and tries to get it back but as she can't reach it says "Careful! It's a weapon."
Not believing her stares at her and asks "What, dust? What kind of weapon is dust?" Snow while trying to steal the necklace back says "Fairy dust." Cockily Charming says " I thought that was a good thing." Wanting him to be careful with the dust she says "When it comes from a good fairy. This stuff is deadly. It transforms the most fearsome of adversaries into a form that's easily squashed." As she finished she tries to grab it again but the same result happened, Charming snatched it away.
Still just as cocky Charming asks "Then why didn't you use it on me?" A disappointed look in her eyes Snow replies "'Cause you're not worth it." Grinning and chuckling at her Charming tucks the dust into his breast pocket as Snow turns away to carry on down the path. "It's very hard to come by. I'm saving it for a special someone." Now knowing who she was going to use it on Charming says "The Queen. Got a lot of anger there, don't you, Snow?"
Sighing Snow says "The charges on her posters are lies. Didn't stop her from sending her huntsman to rip out my heart." A look on concern on his face the Prince asks "What happened?" Seeing it as a way to get back at the Prince Snow turns to face him and says "Well, not everyone is a soulless royal. He took pity on me and let me go. I've been hiding in the forest ever since. Trying to amass enough fortune to leave this place. Escape to another realm. Something isolated. Where I can never be hurt."
Taking a death breath he says "Sounds lonely." "No lonelier than an arranged marriage." Was Snows snide remark. Charming's sharp come back was "At least I don't prey on the innocent." To try and justify her actions Snow says "Up until now, I've only ever stolen from the Queen. I thought you carriage was one of hers. No one else uses that road."
Looking out at their surroundings Charming says "We took the scenic route." Snows sassy remark was "Well, lucky for me. All I'm doing, Charming, is what it takes to survive. She wants me dead." Turning away Snow misses the sad look on Charming's face as they continue through their forest journey. Not liking the awkward silence harming asks "So what did you do to incur that much wrath?"
Due to the interrogation like questions Snow pauses and says "She blames me for ruining her life." "Did you?" was the question the Charming uttered. "Yes," was the answer he got before she set off again. Through some trees in their path was a fresh water river, Snow turns to the Prince and says "I'm thirsty. May I?"
Charming also being thirsty says "Sure. Make it quick." They both make their way to the river stepping on pebbles and stone. Snow reaches the water first and dips her hand in to scoop out some of the cool water up to her, in which she slurps into her parched mouth. Only seconds later Charming walks up beside her and places his hand into the water. Snow seeing this stands and looks down on him biting her lip.
The Prince goes to stand completely up right when Snow almost flies at him knocking him down onto the loose stone and she knees him in the crotch. As he is almost unresponsive due to the pain Snow shoves him into the river, which sweeps him down stream.
Now alone Snow routes through the sac and casts a glance over her shoulder to see Charming still in the river. Snow grabs something in the sac and pulls out a little brown pouch, before she starts running to the edge of the forest. Once inside the forest she doesn't stop running nor does she look back.
She soon reaches a road which runs through the forest, suddenly realising where she was Snow make a sharp turn, ready to start running again only to see what is behind her.
Behind her were three riders dressed in menacing black armour, on three dark horses. As the trot up her, Snow stares at them with horror written across her face, as she stares up at them. The leader of the three laughs and says aloud to the other two mockingly "Look who we found." This statement spurs the other two into action to surround Snow.
Panicking Snow reaches at her neck trying to reach the necklace which Charming took. When she grabs nothing she looks around her for anything which she could use to defend herself with, only to see the riders circling her, cutting off any chance of escape.
The leader jumps down on his horse, with a cruel, evil look on his face as he carries on saying "There's nowhere to hide. The Queen wants your heart" he pauses to draw a foot long sharp pointed dagger, he carries on " and we're not going to disappoint her." He did this all without stopping so he got right into Snow White's face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Storybrooke~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In near darkness Graham, Harry, Emma and Mary Margaret are searching the forest look for the mystery John Doe, with the Sherriff in the lead and Harry at the back. Harry was also secretly doing magic to try and find the John Doe, but due to him not knowing the man's real name, his spells kept coming up blank. "Point me John Doe" Harry muttered quietly, discretely waving his wand behind Mary Margaret's back, but like the previous attempts it came back with nothing.
Graham places his hand on a fallen log as he passes by it, trying to manually track the John Doe. Emma jogs to keep up with the pace Graham has set, while Mary Margaret speed walks both jump over the log rather round it.
The group continues to walk on with the men trying different ways to the man, when Graham suddenly crouches down and places his hand on a footprint in the moist soil. Mary Margaret seeing this asks "What is it?" Graham replies like a true hunter "The trail runs out here."
Emma not happy with the answers sarcastically says "You sure? 'Cause I thought tracking was one of your skills." Graham stands up and says to prove a point to Emma "Just give me a second. This is my world. I got it." Still not finding anything Harrys says "Damn" in parsletongue as Emma says "Right Sorry" as Graham continues to head further into the forest. Harry hears the other man's reply and smirks to himself thinking 'Previous life perhaps.'
Mary Margaret not quite getting the answer says to Emma " What does he mean "his world"? Isn't finding people yours and Harry's thing, too?" Taking a breath Emma says "Sure. Just, people we find usually run to places like Vegas" Harry continues "Not a lot hit the woods."
The three of them pause and they hear a howl echo through the forest. Not liking the silence Mary Margaret says to the pair " It's an interesting job, finding people. How did you both fall into it?" both think about what their answers are going to be when Emma answers for the both of them "Looking for people's just what we've done for as long as we can remember."
Harry takes over and says "I've only looking for people for about eight or nine years now but before that I was looking for precious property for lots of different people." Mary Margaret innocently asks " What made you both start? Your parents?" both Harry and Emma look uncomfortable at the first question, but the second makes them sharply look at Mary Margaret.
Mary Margaret continues to say " Henry told me that you're… That you both were from a similar situation to his own." As the pair stays silent Mary Margaret again asks " Did you ever find them?" Emma replies "Depends on who you ask … for me anyway," as she looks at Harry who stays quite but places his hand on Emma's waist in comfort.
Twigs snapping snap the three of them out of their depressing thoughts, Harry steps in front of the woman and walks towards the sound cautiously and when he sees what is making the noises laughs.
The noise turns out to be Henry with a massive bright yellow torch in his hand. Mary Margaret shouts "Henry" in surprise. Henry asks the adults in front of him " Did you find him yet?" Emma replies to him " No, not yet. You shouldn't be here." But Henry says " I can help. I know where he's going." Mary Margaret askes " And where's that?"
The adults look at each other when Henry answers " He's looking for you." Harry shares a look with Henry and nods at the look in the little kids eyes.

Snow lets out a huff of pain as she is slammed into a nearby tree, with a black leather clad hand griping her hair at the base of her neck. She continues to struggle against the hand as the leader prowls towards, like a lion towards its kill, pointed dagger in hand, which he runs on the back of his hand.
When he reaches Snow the soldier holding her forces her head up baring her neck to the leader, who orders "Keep her still" as he lifts the dagger above his head with both hands. But a thwack and a grunt of pain is all what happens when after a second the leader falls forward, dagger still in hand, with a small throwing knife in the middle of his back. Looking further behind where the leader once stood reveals Charming on top of a tiny hill drawing his sword.
The soldier who was holding Snow releases her and also draws his sword, while both he and Charming make their way to one another. Snow whose hands are tied behind her back looks at the dead soldier's body and sees the throwing knife still in the middle of his back.
Snow looks round to see where the other soldier was, just as Charming leaps down of his little hill and will a battle cry he swings his sword to block the other. The final soldier was still on his horse but it was spooked so it neighing, bucking and panicking, but the rider wasn't much better as he was leading the horse round in circles.
Charming and the soldier continue to fight with each other, and Snow continues to look at her surroundings. She sees a horse with an empty saddle, with a sword attached to it. She looks at the on-going fight then runs towards the horse. But the soldier on the horse gains control and gallops towards Snow, as Charming ducks under a sword aimed for his head.
Snow reaches the horse and makes a grab for the sword when the soldiers is beside and grabs her, throwing her over the horse. Snow screams "No!" as she is being taken away.
Charming deals with the soldier by swiping his sword under the soldier's legs, flipping him head over heels. Once the soldier lands Charming turns to see the fleeing soldier and a struggling Snow. Quickly yet calmly Charming puts his sword away and turns to the rider less horse debating riding after them, when he sees a bow with a full quiver of arrow. As he grabs the bow and an arrow the rider is getting further away with Snow.
As sure footed as a deer Charming runs through the forest, loading the bow getting ready to shoot. As he gets in line with the rider he stops and draws the arrow back, to his right check and follows the rider and releases the arrow into the forest just as a bead of sweat was about to drip into his eye.
The arrow seamless flies through the forest at an amazing speed, before it pierces the riders back, knocking him off the horse just as Charming lowers the bow. As he sees the horse continue to run Charming runs after it to try and regain control over the horse.
But it wasn't need as Snow spins round and grabs the rains and controls the horse. Both Snow and the horse slow down to a stop as Charming runs the towards them. Snow gets off the horse as Charming reaches her.
The first thing said was "Are you all right?" from Charming as he tries to regain his breath. Breathing heavy from shock Snow whispers "You… You saved me." Responding like the prince he is Charming says " It seemed like the honourable thing to do" silence passes between the pair before he continues "Are you ready?"
Snow with a confused look on her face asks "For what?" Charming response by saying "My jewels" like it was obvious. The pair heavily breathing there silence before Snow snaps out of it and says "Right. You've got a wedding to get to. The trolls I sold them to are just beyond the next ridge. We need to be careful." As she finishes saying this she refuses to look at Charming and looks in the direct them have to go in.
Charming snaps his head to her and asks "What, of trolls?" Snow knowing what lies ahead of them says "You've clearly never met one." Charming showing his confusion asks "Aren't they just little people?"
Mockingly Snow says "You're thinking of dwarves. Show a little respect. They'll cut your hand off sooner than they'll shake it." Charming huffs and says "Well, then let's get this over with," showing his slight fear for what they were going up against. Snow seemingly unfazed says "Yes, we've both got places to be. So let's go."
Charming still facing her as they start to walk away says to her "You have your lonely little corner of solitude to find." Snows witty comment back was "And you have a ring less fiancée to appease." They both walk in the direct of the trolls with the black horse walk beside them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Storybrook~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group are walking in the now pitch black woods with just hand held torches to light their way. Graham who was in the lead again was a few steps ahead of the women of the group, whom were walking with Henry, as Harry was walking up behind the group making sure they were all safe.
Henry was speaking to the women saying "You're the one who woke him up. You're the last one he saw. He wants to find you!" trying to confines them. But Mary Margaret stops and turns to him making Emma and Harry stop as well and says "Henry, it's not about me. I just… I think he's lost and confused. He's been in a coma a long time."
Harry subtly shakes his head at the other adults because they aren't listening to Henry. Henry anger shouts, "But he loves you! You need to stop chasing him and let him find you." to try and get them to listen to him. Emma tired listen to the brewing argument says to Henry in a stern voices "Kid, you need to go home! Where's you mom? She's going to kill me. Then Harry. And then you. And then Harry and me again."
Henry says "She dropped me at the house, then went right out." Harry then butts in to say his opinion by saying " Well, we need to get you back immediately, coz I don't know about you but one woman annoyed at you is enough, never mind a worried mother as well," with a wince on his face as the too present women smirk at him.
Henry not listening or just not caring about what Regina has to say shouts "No!" but as he was about to continue Graham shout to the group "Guys?" in a worried voice, gaining their attention. Harry swiftly walks past them as the rest look at each other before following his example.
Just around a bend in the forest path was the sheriff who was crouched down look down at the forest floor. As Emma rushes past Harry she reaches him first and looks over his shoulder as the rest gather round to do the same.
They all see a bloody identification tag which says 'John Doe DOB:UNKNOWN 67140404.' Mary Margaret asks "Is that…" and both Emma and Harry says "Blood." The group all look upset as glances are thrown between everyone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Enchanted Forest~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the edge of the dark forest Snow and Charming where riding the horse over a gravely worn path. Just before an evil looking bridge Charming pulls the horse to a halt. Snow slides of the back of the horse and holds the rains to the horse as Charming dismounts with Snow's sack with him.
Snow leads the horse round in a circle and slaps its rump making it gallop into the forest rider less. Snow walks back to Charming and says "Trolls don't like horses." As he gives her a confused look, Snow breathes in deeply and says "We walk from here." Snow turns to Charming and says "Follow me. And keep quiet." Then she starts to walk towards the bridge with Charming only a few steps behind her.
They walk in to the bridge which has dead dried leaves both around their feet, like a dog would prowl around an unwelcome visitor. Snow strides forward with gold pieces in her hand and she was about to places them on the wall on one side of the bridge when Charming then asks "Where are they?"
Snow huffs a laugh before she says "They're here" as she places the gold near the edge of the wall. As she did this she looks out over the wall into the distance, unaware of the figure prowling up the wall towards them. The figure is a male troll, with bogey green skin and greasy, un-kept hair, between his teeth was a wickedly sharp dagger. The troll pauses just before the top of the bridge to gain his strength to jump over the wall behind the pair growling wildly as he landed, make Charming spin around to face him.
Snow didn't turn round because she has her eyes on another troll which had climb up the other wall to be in front of them. She suddenly turned round when she realized there was more than one troll behind her. In total there were three troll, each of them as ugly and horrid as the next. The other two troll had weapons as well, short broad sword which were more than likely off past victims. Snow says to Charming while keeping her back against the wall "It's fine. I know them."
She turns to one which was the leader and it was the one which was the closest to her as he cruelly asks "Why you here? I thought we were done?" Snow answers straight away and says "I want to make another trade." The leader then says "I'm not talking in front of him. Who is this guy?" while pointing to Charming who was surrounded by the other two trolls.
Shaking her head Snow again swiftly says "No, he's with me./2 but the troll still doesn't like the answer so he says "That's good. With you. Well, that makes it all fine." Snow then says "He's no one." While Charming just look at her, as she continues "Look. I want to buy back the jewels I sold you."
The troll still not knowing who the Prince was Shouts "Who is he?!" Snow taking charge of the situation again says while walking towards the troll "I said don't worry about it. Look, I'll give you back all of your money. Just give me the ring." As she was saying this she was seemingly immune to the mean growls. "You can keep everything else."
Again the troll growls but doesn't say anything as he thinks about the proposition, before he looks to another troll who was pointing the stolen sword towards Charming, who just looks back, before nodding his head toward Snow. The second troll gets a pouch from a pocket as Charming says "Thank you. We appreciate the help." While holding a hand out for the ring. The troll in front of Snow swiftly says "He's too eager" which in turn makes the other troll growl and snatch the pouch back growl at Charming. The troll continues by saying "It's a set up." This makes Snow shout "It's not!" But the Troll then shouts back in response "He's a Royal!"
Then the troll strikes, grabbing Snow spinning her around, pinning her back against his front with his arm around her neck, he then shouts "Hold him." Charming then draws his sword as the two trolls try to attack him, he shouts ""Let her go!" but a troll knocks the sword out of his hand and shoves him in to the wall, as the other troll holds his dagger to Charming's neck.
Snow seeing this shouts "No! You can trust me. Look, you can trust me. If I wanted to set you up, I would have. Don't hurt him," with panic in her voice, as the troll hold them both prisoner as the other grabs the sack and empties it on to the floor.
The troll behind her growls into her ear and says "The time for dealing is done. Search him." The troll holding him pats him down as the other one searches through the stuff on the floor. The one patting Charming down find the necklace with the fairy dust in, and looks at it as the other troll looks at it as well before he throws it onto the floor.
Snow looks at where the necklace falls before she stares at Charming because the troll pushes him further down the wall. Then the troll behind her then pushes her into the wall hard as well before grabbing her roughly. Then the troll searching through the things on the floor, stops his search as he reaches a piece of parchment which he opens. Snow who has a sword at her neck, gasps as she sees what they have found.
The troll starts to laugh as he shows what he was found to the troll leader, who looks at the paper. Snow and Charming share a look as the troll reads what is on the paper. The leader then stands up straighter and laughs at the pair before saying "Snow White. Quite a reward. Take her!" Snow then looks at the trolls, who are now too preoccupied with Snow to be holding him, looks at the floor to see his sword. He grabs it before attacking the troll which was getting ready to grab Snow. He cuts one the trolls hands off, before he blocks the sword for the other troll.
Snow was pushed to the wall away from the fight when the leader joins the fight, making Charming fight the troll three to one. Charming nearly kills one of the trolls before he reaches Snow and shouts "Go! I'm right behind you." Snow then runs as Charming blocks another sword, Snow then grabs the jewels and her necklace of the floor before she runs to the gap in the bridge. As snow crosses Charming continues to and as a troll rolls into his path.
Charming roars in anger as he kicks the troll down into the cavern below. Charming was about to cross the bridge after Snow when out of the blue another troll grabs his foot making him trip up and nearly fall down the cavern like he made a troll do minutes before. The trolls then grab him by his foot and drag him back onto the bridge.
Snow not knowing what has gone on shouts back as she runs in to the forest, "Follow me! They don't know the forest like I do." But as she finishes what she is saying she turns round when she heard no reply and she see the troll and Charming fighting on the bridge, but Charming is losing badly. Snow doesn't know what to do as she turns round to look into the forest before looking at the jewels in her hands, then back up at the bridge.
Charming who is still on the floor is trying to fight them with his sword but the troll which tripped him up steps on his hand and kicks the sword away, before he straddles Charming's waist so he could no longer fight. After the have got a hold of Charming the troll gets off him and makes him kneel, and growls and the leader who holds a sword to Charming's neck who in turn says "Royal blood is the sweetest of all."
With a growl the troll was about to cut Charming's head off when suddenly a flash of white light and a puff of grey smoke appears where the troll was standing. When the smoke cleared there was no troll there, only a single cockroach on its back next to a discarded sword. Thaw two trolls and Charming look up to see Snow who was stood on the bridge.
One of the trolls steps forward and Snow sprinkles the fairy dust into her hand, before she throws it at the troll, the same thing happens to the previous troll and Snow sprinkles more dust into her hand throws it at the last troll which has started to make his way towards her.
Snow and Charming are left alone on the bridge when the look at each other in shock at what has just transpired. Charming climbs to his feet with his sword back in his hand and Snow walks towards him. As she nears him Charming repeats what she said after the soldier incident "You… You saved me." Snow smiling slightly replies "It was the honourable thing to do."
As she said this Snow pulls the necklace off her head and Charming asks "What about your special someone?" Snow looks at the now empty vial and sighs before she says "I'll think of something else," as she throws the necklace on the floor.
Charming not believing she would do that for him says "Thank you." In a sincere voice. The pair then gathers there things together, as Charming put his sword away. Snow then picks up the jewels and says "Anyway, how could I let Prince Charming die?" as she puts the rest of the stuff in the sack which Charming was holding.
Charming's soft reply was "I told you, I have a name. It's James." As the pair stare into each other's eyes. Snow then replies "It's nice to meet you, James," while smiling. James looks down to seal the bag when Snow snaps out of her daze and says "We should go. There may be more of them coming."
Charming lifts the sack on to his back as they continue their journey over the troll bridge, when Charming stops and the pile of gold which was untouched. Looking at Snow he picks it up and pockets it while squishing a cockroach on the way.

A wolf howl was heard throw the dark forest, as the group reaches a river which runs under a bridge which says 'Toll Bridge' but it has a red 'R' drawn on making it say 'Troll Bridge.' Mary Margaret says to Graham as he reaches the water "Oh God! Where is he? Can you see him?" Grahams reply was one in which the group dreaded "The trail dies at the water line."
The group spread around spread out at the water edge and they look out into the river to try and see John Doe. Mary Margaret looks up the river and sees a body in a hospital gown nearly face down in the water. Dropping the torch Mary Margaret rushes to him shouting "Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" while getting the others attention. Harry runs after her to help her get him out of the water as Graham says into his radio "I need an ambulance at the old toll bridge as soon as possible."
Henry stays back as the rest of the adults help Harry pick the John Doe up out of the water to the shore line. Emma says " Hang on. Hang on, Hang on," as she hand to change her grip on John Doe's legs. Mary Margaret clearly in a state of panic says "I'm falling, falling, falling. I'm falling. Keep going."
Henry who is still on the shore line is terrified as the adults carry the body towards him. Mary Margaret still speaking says "Hold on. I feel we need to slow down. Slow down. Slow down." As the put him down Graham collapses next to the John Doe. Harry rushes over to Henry to comfort him knowing it is not normal for a kid to see a man nearly drown.
Mary Margaret who is half on top of John Doe shouts in despair "No, no, no, no, no. I found you! It's gonna be okay." Graham says to John Doe "Help's coming." Henry who was still in Harry's arms asks "Is he okay? Is he gonna be okay?" Emma then rushes over to the pair and Harry lets Henry go to run to Emma.
Emma says when she reaches him "Henry, don't look, okay? Don't look." Harry them hugs both of them with Henry not facing the rest of the group. Mary Margaret puts her head near John Doe's mouth and says "Come back to us. Come back to me." When nothing happens the adults all start a look as Mary Margaret starts to do CPR on John Doe.
Emma mutters to Henry "It's okay. It's okay" as Mary Margaret continues to do CPR on him. She pauses because nothing is happening Mary Margaret gives John Doe mouth to mouth but it turns in to just giving him a kiss out of sheer desperation.
Once she finishes the kiss she leans back and then a watery cough was heard and John Doe comes round and coughs up the rest of the water in his lungs, before taking in a deep breathe which leads Mary Margaret to hold his head up.
The trio hear the man's heavy breathing and turn to face the rest of the group. The man after gaining says to Mary Margaret "You saved me." Henry happily says "She did it. She did it. She woke him up." Emma replies "Yeah, kid, she did." Harry crouches down to be level with Henry and whispers to him "You were right kiddo," and Henry just grins at him.
John Doe breathlessly says to Mary Margaret " Thank you." Mary Margaret just asks him "Who are you?" With a confused look John Doe says "I don't know." But Mary Margaret calmly says "It's okay. You're going to be okay.
In the hospital a paramedic and a male nurse were wheeling John Doe, who was in a hospital bed, into the intensive care ward and were saying to the people who were milling around the ward "Watch your backs. Coming through."
In the intensive care ward Dr Whale was waiting for him and says to the nurse and paramedic "Thanks, guys. We got it from here." Two young nurses who were dressed in white shut the doors, just as the group cam e rushing to the doors.
Inside the ward the staff were all working to save and maintain John Doe's life. Mary Margaret, Graham and Henry were looking through the glass to see if he was okay. Dr Whale was checking John Doe's pulse when a blonde woman comes running into the ward and pushes past Harry who was leaning against the wall looking into the ward. As she pasted him she shouts "David?"
Then she walks into the room and says "David, is that you?" when he hears this Dr Whale looks up and says "Excuse me, ma'am." But she doesn't listen and just mutters "Oh, my God." And Dr Whale tries again and says "Ma'am, you can't be in here. Please, you can't be here right now." He walks round to pull he away from the man, when she doesn't move, "You can't be here, ma'am. Can you wait over here for a second?"
As the see the doctor pull the woman away Mary Margaret asks the group "Who is that?" There was a pause and then a voice that was not wanted replied "His wife." Harry was the first to see her and just gave her a cold stare, which made her shiver in fear slightly. The rest of the group turn to see Regina stood behind them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Enchanted Forest~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the pair are walking through the forest Charming is looking round while Snow is playing with her figure nails while looking down. Charming turns round and Snow looks up and acts like nothing is wrong. The pair of them then nervously laugh as they look in different directions. Charming then says "So… You probably want this," as he reaches into his pocket and pulls a pouch out."
Snow takes it and says "Right, the gold. Thank you," she then ties it her belt and grabs the pouch from under her arm and says "And you can't get married without this." Charming then opens it and shakes the jewels until a ring falls out. He throatily chuckles and holds the ring out and looks at it. He then says to Snow "I know. Not your style."
Snow a bit put off says while grabbing the ring "Well, there's only one way to find out." She then puts the ring on and holds her hand out to look at it. Charming is just staring at Snow when she snaps out of the daze and her eyes flick up to Charming and says "Yeah, not me at all." She pulls it off and says while giving it back "I'm sure your fiancée will love it." Charming laughs and takes the ring back and says to her "You know if you need more, you can take the rest. The ring is all I require." Not wanting to take more from him she says "No, I'm good. Thanks. We both got what we wanted."
Charming sighs and says "Well, wherever you're going, be careful. If you need anything…" Snow interrupts and says "You'll find me." And Charming says "Always." Snow not wanting to get hurt more than she already will says "I almost believe that." The two share another look when Snow reaches down and grabs the sack and lifts it over her shoulder. As the prince says "Well, goodbye, Snow White." Snow bowing form the waist down says "Goodbye, Prince Charming." In return Charming replies "I told you. It's James." Snow wittily says "No, still like Charming better." This makes them both laugh as they start to walk their separate ways. Charming towards a castle, Snow into the forest both look back but at different times.

In the hospital ward Dr Whale is still checking John Doe over, when Mary Margaret looks away from them and looks towards the group and Regina as she says "His name is David Nolan. And that's his wife, Kathryn. And the joy on her face? Well, It's put me in quite the forgiving mood." At this she throws a glance at Harry and Emma who are sat next to each other. Regina continues talking and says to Henry, "We'll talk about your insubordination later. Do you know what insubordination means?" Henry shakes his head and Regina continues "It means you're grounded."
Before anything else could be said the door to the room opens and Kathryn says "Thank you. Thank you for finding my David." Mary Margaret just looks down and says "I don't understand. You didn't… You didn't know he was in a coma?" Kathryn replies in an innocent voice "A few years ago, David and I were not getting along. It was my fault. I know that now. I was difficult and unsupportive. I told him if he didn't like things, he could leave. And he did. And I didn't stop him. It was the worst mistake I ever made," at this time she was nearly crying.
Harry gave her a look saying he didn't believe her and then stood and sat next to Henry who had a similar look on his face. Emma leaned forward and rested her elbow on her knees asked Kathryn "You didn't go look for him?" The two males sat in the chairs looked at each other, then at Kathryn who was stood next to them. Trying to defend her actions Kathryn says to them "I assumed he left town all this time. Now I know why I never heard from him."
At this Harry lowered his ear to Henry's ear and whispers "The curse?" Henry looks him in the eye and nods his head with a childish glee in his eyes, because someone finally believed him. Regina, who was also listening to the speech which Kathryn was giving, lifted her head a bit higher almost as if she was proud of the blond woman.
Kathryn continues to say to Mary Margret and the rest of the group, "Now I get to do what I've wanted to do forever. Say I'm sorry. Now we got a second chance." By this time Mary Margaret face has fallen and Kathryn turns to look at the rest of the group with a look of pure happiness on her face. Emma huffs under her breathe as Mary Margaret says to her with a hurt hidden in her voice "That's wonderful."
As Dr Whale exits the room, Regina looks Mary Margaret with a look of hidden satisfaction at what pain she is in. Kathryn turns to the doctor as he walks beside her. Dr Whale says to the whole group "Well, it's something of a miracle." Kathryn asks "He's okay?" but the doctor replies while looking at Mary Margret "Physically, he's on the mend. His memory is another issue. It may take time, if at all." Mary Margret asks the question which was on everyone's lips "What brought him back?"
Dr Whale again looking directly at Mary Margaret says "That's the thing, there's no explanation. Something just clicked in him." Mary Margaret gives him a confused look as Henry and Harry smirk at each other. Emma on the other hands asks "He just got up and decided to go for a stroll?" The reply she got off the doctor was "He woke up and he was delirious. And his first instinct was to go find something, I guess." At that Henry pipes in and says "Someone," while looking at Mary Margaret, who looks back at him. Regina not happy at where it was going gives Henry a look then looks back at Kathryn who asks "Can I see him?"
Dr Whale says to her while opening the door for her "Yeah, of course." Once she was inside silence was over the group when Regina breaks in by saying "Henry, let's go." Henry gets up and starts to walk away and he suddenly says "Wait, my backpack." And he goes back for it as Regina waits for him.
Once Henry grabs the bag, Harry ruffles his hair and says "Take care, kiddo." Henry slimes at him and gives him a quick hug. As he was about to walk past Mary Margaret Henry says "Don't believe them. You're the one he was looking for." Mary Margaret softly says "Henry…" But he doesn't listen and carries on saying "He was going to the Troll Bridge. It's like the end of the story." At this Emma shoulder drop at hearing the story again.
Mary Margaret says "Henry, he was going there because it's the last thing I read to him," still not believing him. Seeing this Henry says "No, it's because you belong together." Mary Margaret gives him a disbelieving look as Regina who is tired of waiting says "Henry." Giving Mary Margret on last look, Henry runs after Regina, leaving Mary Margaret to stare into the room and sees Kathryn standing next to David.
Both Emma and Harry give each other confused looks when suddenly the pair of them jump up and rush after the woman and child. Emma says when the catch up to them "Madam Mayor?" Regina sighs and says to Henry "Wait by the car." She slightly pushes him as she turns to face the troublesome duo and says "Miss Swan, Mr Potter, I let you off the hook back there. Don't press it." Harry says to her, getting Regina's full attention, "I'm sorry, but Mrs Nolan? Kind of feels like her story could be a load of crap." Emma picks up the conversation and says "All this time there's a John Doe lying around in a coma and nobody puts it in the news? Nobody goes looking? Something's not right here."
Regina then asks the pair in an innocent voice, which fooled no one "Well, what else would make sense to you? Why would Miss Nolan lie? Do you think I cast a spell on her?" the last question was aimed directly at Harry, who in turn smirked at her and replied "We think it's rather strange you're been his emergency contact all these years, and you only found her now."
Regina snaps "Well, this town is bigger than you know. It's entirely possible to get lost here. It's entirely possible for bad things to happen." Harry heard the threat in those words and says "I bet there are a lot of good things that happen as well." Emma then says to Regina "Just when it's convenient, you manage to solve the mystery."
Regina then smirks at them and says "Thanks to the pair of you. That tape you two found was a stroke of genius. So we went back and looked at past tapes. Turns out Mr Doe's been talking I his sleep. He's been calling out for a 'Kathryn.' After that it wasn't hard to put the pieces together." As Emma breathes in a deep breathe Regina continues and says "And here I thought you two and Mary Margaret would be pleased. True love won out. So bask in the moment, dears. Were it not for you three, they would have lived their lives completely alone." At this Emma has a blank look and her face, whereas Harry just has a bored one.
Regina continues "That's why I'm willing to forgive you two's incessant rudeness. Because all this has reminded me of something oh so very important. How grateful I am to have Henry. Because not having someone? Well, that's the worst curse imaginable." At the end she is giving Harry a look at which makes him glare at her.
Kathryn is sat on the bed with David and she hugs him, which he hesitantly returns. He looks over Kathryn's should to see Mary Margaret stood in the window looking at them sadly. Mary Margaret breaks eye contact first and looks down to her hand and play with a silver ring with a bright green emerald in the middle.
Later on Mary Margaret is sat on the steps in her apartment and is still playing with her ring when someone knocks on the door. Snapping her out of her daze she stands and puts the ring back on before going to answer the door.
When she opens the door she sees Harry and Emma who both look a little apologetic. Mary Margaret says "Emma. Harry." Harry says "Sorry to bother you so late. Are those spare rooms still available?" as he says this he take of his jacket and puts it over Emma's shoulders, to try and stop her shivering. Mary Margaret not wanting to be alone nods her head at the pair and she lets them into their new apartment.
