Hi everyone sorry for updating a bit late. Anyway enjoy.


Chapter 9: Breaking Glass

Everyone has watched the preview of the fifth episode.

The Snow Queen, in her ice lair, is using her ice magic on a very large block of ice. She seems to carving the ice though the audience doesn't know. They thought she was uncover someone out of the ice. The Snow Queen then brought life to the ice sculpture as where the eyes are suppose to be started to glow.

The title card roll in with the icy stair case that Elsa made.

"That's the stairs that I made in my palace!" Elsa exclaimed excitedly. Pearl had installed some speakers in the morning so that she and Ingrid can hear everyone's conversations outside the control room.

"Hey! That's the stairs my sister made!" Anna's voice can be heard through the speakers.

The scene changed with Emma and Elsa in the sheriff's station trying to find clues about Anna or the Snow Queen.

Emma drop a box with files on a table, "Somewhere in here, there's got to be something on her."

"There has to be a better strategy. While we're reading files, my sister is out there somewhere. We have to confront this snow queen." Elsa suggested the logic way.

"Believe me, if I could, we would. We have to find her first. And, Elsa, we have to be careful. This woman is tricky. She seems to know both of us, and we don't remember anything about her. And something tells me that that is not an accident." Emma reasoned with her friend.

"You think she took our memories?" Elsa questioned.

"I'm really good with names and faces. It was my job. She took them, all right. The question is why. We need to find out what the hell she's up to." Emma answered.

Ingrid frowned at Emma but like she thought before, who could blame her. Elsa gave her a comforting smile and she smiled back- however it is a sad one.

Hook enters the station, "Paperwork, ahoy! Old city records from the mayor's office, per your request."

Will hollered from his jail cell, "Oi! Somebody's forgotten about me dinner! I had the bangers and mash."

Emma walks up to him, "You had the water and pop-tart."

"What is a pop-tart?" Anna asked in curiosity.

"It's a type of pastry with sweet fillings inside." Pearl answered.

"It sounds delicious." Anna replied in a dreamy tone.

"I'll give you a taste when we finish episode six." Pearl promise.

Will looked at it, "Somebody's already had a nibble."

"I've had my shots." Emma told him.

"What a relief." he took a bite. "Now, I've served me time. So when will I be free?" he asked.

"When I say so." Emma replied.

"Well I'm off to take Henry sailing, love, unless there's something else you want me to do here." Hook told Emma.

"Make sure Henry wears his life vest, okay?" Emma reminded him.

"Befriending the son to get in with the mum? Yep, no one will ever see through that." Will blurt out.

"Why don't you keep your thoughts to yourself mate." Hook suggested to Will. "Goodbye." he told Emma as he left.

Elsa found something interesting and went to her friend, "Emma, look. Why are there pictures of you mixed in with the city records?" she asked.

"Let's just say when Regina was mayor, she abused her power a bit. She was looking for any reason to run me out of town." Emma went through the pictures with happy memories. "That's the first time Henry and I went for hot cocoa." she chuckles as she give the picture to her smiling friend. "When I walked him to school for the first time." she stopped and stared at the third picture.

"Emma? What is it?" Elsa asked in concern.

"It's me and her." Emma gave Elsa the picture of her and the Snow Queen.

Elsa scoffs as she examined the picture, "And you still don't remember any of this?"

"No, but I know someone who may... The person who had the photos taken." Emma replied.

In the vault, Regina sighs as she turned to the mirror, "Please tell me you've found her."

Sidney's face appeared, "And which "her" would that be? Snow white? Maid Marian? Emma Swan? It's so hard to keep track of her majesty's nemeses."

The "Snow White" in the audience shuddered at the memories of her stepmother. She, however, is curious about her alternate self/ Snow White number two since her family seems to be okay with Regina/ Evil Queen number two in their family. She also got a bad vibe from Sidney. The Truth Mirror that she gave to the first Red Riding Hood sister was not evil but Sidney looked like a different story.

Ross Red seemed to have his own bad memories of their stepmother. He remembered that after the evil woman had cursed his younger sister to an eternal slumber, she was locked up in the dungeon waiting for her execution. However, after his sister was saved, she escaped and was nowhere found in the kingdom.

The townspeople also started to notice that it was getting a bit chilly. Anna assumed that perhaps Ingrid or Elsa is losing control again but what she didn't know that it was coming from Snow as a way to express her sadness of her terrible past.

Pearl decided that Snow should come with her to the control room so she can express her feelings with the other Snow Queens and so the Duke won't accused her of sorcery if he were to find out since she did not told the people about the royals' magical side.

"I'm not in the mood for games, Sidney. I need to know where the Snow Queen is hiding. If I can't unfreeze Marian myself, I'll force her to do it." Regina stressed.

"I don't think forcing her is a good idea." Kristoff comments.

"Haven't come across the Snow Queen yet, sorry to say." Sidney replied.

"Then you have a new task. Find that Snow Queen. Or you'll learn what sorry really feels like." Regina threatens.

"Yes, your majesty." Sidney obeyed.

The scene changed to Belle taking care of a fussing baby Neal.

"Shh." Belle shush Neal gentle.

"See Belle's a natural. She's got all the emergency numbers. If anything happens, Neal will be okay." David tried to assured his wife.

"I'm not worried about emergency numbers, David. I'm nervous about leaving him at all. Between the curse and the Wicked Witch, we don't exactly have the best track record with our babies." Mary Margaret express her worries.

"He is going to be fine. And we need this time away. You need it." he made sure she is looking at him. "Hey. So what do you say? You ready for our evening stroll?"

The scene changed to show Emma and Elsa driving to Regina's vault. Elsa is in the passenger seat with a sparkly purple cloak. Emma sighs.

"Elsa, why are you wearing that purple cloak?" Ingrid questioned.

"I don't know." Elsa replied.

"It was probably because it was close to Halloween." Pearl answered as she and Snow entered the room.

"Halloween?" Elsa questioned at the word.

"Don't you celebrate Halloween in your kingdom?" Pearl asked. She received a confused look. Probably not. "Halloween is an event that happened once a year to celebrate all Hallows' Eve, in other words, a celebration of the dead."

"It sounds unpleasant." Ingrid comments.

Pearl just shrugs at that comment. "In my world, we give candy to little children and dressed up as anything we want."

"Maybe we should try doing it." Elsa turned to Ingrid.

"It may not be a day idea." Ingrid thought.

"We'll give it a try." Elsa replied as all of them looked back at the scene.

"You okay?" Elsa turned to face her friend.

"It's just the pictures. Reminds me of when I first got here. Regina and I hated each other. Well, "hate" might be the wrong word, but we did not mix." Emma explained.

"But it seems like you've come a long way since then." Elsa counters.

"Yeah, but it looks like we're right back at it. Just wish I could fix it. Coming?" she asked.

"I think this sounds like something you two should talk about alone. You know, if things were getting better between you two before, maybe they can again." Elsa explains what she thinks.

"Doubt it. I screwed her over. Once you screw someone over, there's no getting them back." Emma is being doubtful.

"What makes you say that?" Elsa questioned.

"Experience." Emma simply replied before closing the door and heading towards the vault.

In the past, it shows young girl, in her teen years, with the words "Hopkins, Minnesota" and the date "1998" appeared in the screen.

"Is that?" Elsa stopped mid question.

"Yes, it is." Pearl answered.

Young Emma is eying a box of pop tarts and then at a girl nearby. When the girl walks away, Emma took the box and stuff it behind her coat. However, a security guard come up to her.

"Whoa. What you got there?" the woman asked when the girl came in with a shopping cart.

"I've been looking all over for you." she replied to make it look like there are friends. "Just go with it." she whispered to Emma. "Thanks for hanging on to that till I got us a cart." she took the box.

"You two girls are on your own?' the woman questioned.

"My parents are outside in the car. They sent us to grab a few things." the girl answered.

"Okay." the woman buys it and walks away.

Emma sighs, "Thanks. That was about to get ugly."

"Yeah, no kidding. You know, the whole "stuffing things under your shirt" move never works. You need one of these." she took out a credit card. "Lift some plastic, and you can buy whatever you want."

Emma chuckles, "I'll remember that next time." she was about to walk off.

"Wait! You're part of my cover now. So what do you say? You want to go shopping?" the girl asked.

The scene changed to the outdoors with Emma and the girl with big shopping bags.

"Wow. That actually worked." Emma replied in surprise as the girl turned around to see a man in the car behind them.

"Hold onto your bag and run." she warned.

"What? Why?" Emma asked.

"Trust me." she told her before she turned to see the man is now going after her/them. "Go! Go! Go!" they started to run.

"Hey!" the man in the car yelled. The girls run just as another car stopped from hitting them and prevented the man from going after them for a little while.

Many "What is going on?" came from the audience.

The Duke assumed that Emma and the girl stole the food or the credit card, for he is jumping up and down his seat, pointing his finger at the screen. His wig is also flapping up and down from all the jumping.

"Come on this way!" Emma exclaimed as they hid behind an alley.

The man behind the car drove passed them, without noticing them. The girls, out of breath, let out some laugh.

"I'm Emma, by the way." Emma introduce herself.

"Lily." Lily manage to tell her name. "Thanks for the help."

"You had my back, and I got yours." Emma replied as they both laugh.

The scene changed back to the present. Regina is looking through some books when she sees Emma coming in.

"Ms. Swan." Regina looked up. "What an unpleasant surprise." she added. "Unfortunately, I'm a little busy trying to save my true love's wife. Or hadn't you heard?"

"What do you know about these?" Emma gave Regina the picture.

Regina sighs, "It appears you and the Snow Queen are old friends. Well, frenemies at best."

"I have zero memories of this conversation. I was hoping you might. Sidney took these when you had him spying on me. He didn't say anything about what was going on here? Or why I was arguing with the Snow Queen?" Emma questioned.

"He never mentioned anything. My guess you skipped the tip jar." Regina answered.

"I suppose I should talk to Sidney, then. But no one seems to know where he is. Have you seen him?" Emma asked.

"I've been busy working on Marian, on the problem you created." Regina gave a hint of blame on the Savior.

"She's lying! Well...Okay, she's half lying but she is hiding the truth about Sidney." Anna exclaimed.

"I guess I'll let you get back to it. Any progress on thawing her out?" Emma questioned.

"It's no concern of yours." Regina answered coldly.

"It could be. I know I'm not sorceress of the year, but if you want some extra juice to undo the spell, let me know." Emma offered.

"Are you offering to help me?" Regina questioned in a slight mocking tone.

"Despite everything, you've done a lot for me, Regina, so yeah. You've had my back, and I want you to know that I have yours." Emma repeated what she said to Lily long ago.

Regina scoff, "Ms. Swan, one thing's abundantly clear. You've never had my back. And you never will."

The scene changed to outside the vault. It was now night and then the fog eerily came.

Anna's voice could be hear from the distant off screen, "Elsa. Elsa? Elsa, help!"

Elsa perk up at future Anna's voice in the screen. Was this the moment where she finds her little sister?

Elsa heard the voice and opened the door. "Anna?" she responded.

"Elsa. Help me." a silhouette of Anna appeared in the fog. She then walks away from Elsa. Elsa, worried for her sister, followed.

"Why am I walking away from Elsa?" Anna comments through the speakers.

'She has a point, could it be because of the fog, or something else...' Elsa thought.

Emma came out to see the door opened. She runs to her car.

"Elsa?! Elsa!" Emma shouted Elsa's name.

'I should have at least left a note.' Elsa thought.

The scene changed to Regina in her vault when Sidney's face appeared In the mirror.

"My queen, I have news. I have found the Snow Queen's lair."

"Well, where is it?" Regina asked.

"I think a little quid pro quo is in order, don't you? I'm growing tired of this glass prison." he told her.

Snow got the answer from her bad vibe before. If someone were to serve their queen by force, eventually they would want a way to get out.

"Let's see if your information yields results. Then we can discuss your freedom." Regina replied.

You expect me to give up my leverage before I've received anything in return?" he chuckled. "Do you think me an imbecile?"

"I think I've trapped you in a mirror twice. And if you find them too constricting, well, then Perhaps you'd like to return to your cell at the hospital."

Sidney sighs, "Upon further reflection, it appears I don't have the leverage I thought. Listen closely. I will lead you to her."

The change to David and Mary Margaret in the station.

"And I need one of the good walkies, not one of the short-range things you let Henry play with." she told him.

"It's a short hike to the bluffs. We'll be gone less than an hour."

"With no cell reception! I want to be sure Belle can reach us." she replied in worry.

"Or you're looking for a way out of this." David chuckled. "We are going on this hike."

"Yes! And we shall be reachable." Mary Margaret added.

David sighs as he grabbed the walkie, "This will do it. I'll call Belle. Let her know where to find our walkie at home. Now she'll be able to reach us on our drive, our hike If we fall through a portal to Asgard wherever we are."

"My hero." Mary Margaret replied.

They were about to leave when David stops.

"Hang on." David told her.

"What is it?" Mary Margaret questions.

"You know that thief I told you about? The one who ran from the ice-cream shop?" David asked.

"Will Scarlet." his wife answered.

David sighs, "Looks like he managed a jail break. Come on. Let's go."

"How can he break out of jail? He didn't have anything." Anna comments.

"I think he pick lock the door." Kristoff answered.

"Oh yeah, right. I forget he had a pick lock."

"Wait. Oh, you mean right now?" Mary Margaret questioned.

"Oh, come on. It'll be like old times. A prince and a princess on an adventure, but without the Evil Queen on our trail." David encourage her.

The scene changed to Regina walking in the woods with Sidney in her hand pocket mirror.

"I'm walking due north. Now what?" Regina asked.

"Head past the toll bridge, then go east. The Snow Queen isn't far." Sidney told her. Regina heard twig snaps and rustling so she put the mirror in her pocket. She turned to see...

"Regina." Emma walked up to her.

Regina sighs, "What are you doing here?"

"Elsa disappeared on me. I think she went to go confront the Snow Queen on her own. Afraid she's in trouble." Emma explains as Regina sighs. "How about you? Nature walks your new thing?"

"I intend to force the Snow Queen's hand, make her reverse the damage she's inflicted on Marian." Regina explained.

"How do you even know where she is?" Emma questioned.

"Explaining my magic to a beginner is a waste of my time. She's east of the toll bridge." she was about to go there when Emma stops her.

"Well, I think we should stick together, then. My best shot at finding Elsa is to go in the direction of the Snow Queen. You don't mind the company, do you?" Emma asked.

Regina scoffs, "Does it matter if I mind? If I say no, you'll just come anyway."

Back in the past, young Emma is eating her sandwich fast.

"Mm!"

"That sandwich isn't going anywhere, you know." Lily told her.

Emma chuckles, "Sorry. It's just that where I come from, if you don't eat fast, the big kids would swipe things off your plate."

"Was that around here?" Lily asked.

"Boston. Snuck out in the middle of the night and hopped a bus."

"Why did you leave?" Lily questioned.

"This little girl from my home, Cecilia, got adopted. I watched her get in this station wagon with this perfect-looking couple. That's when I realized... No one was ever gonna look at me the way those parents looked at her. I'm too old. I missed my chance. There was no point in me staying another day if I was just gonna keep feeling..." she stops, trying to find the right word.

"Invisible?" Lily questioned. Emma turned to her. "I know what it's like to live someplace where it feels like no one cares about you, let alone understands you."

Anna, Elsa, and Ingrid can relate to that, Kristoff, a little bit but he didn't mind, and Bella felt that hers was more forceful since nobody in her kingdom wants her as the result of her being locked in the tower by herself.

"Were you in a home, too? That guy chasing you is he from social services? Is he trying to take you back?" Emma asked these questions.

"Yeah."

"What are you gonna do?"

"See those houses over there? People use them in the summer. But now that it's fall, they'll be empty. I figured I'll pick the nicest one and I'll crash there for a while." Lily chuckled a bit. "Here's an idea. Come with me."

"Really?" Emma asked.

"Why not? We'd be better off if we stuck together." Lily suggested as Emma looked at the house. The scene changed to Elsa running in the forest.

"Anna! Anna!" she called out. Luckily, she stops as she looked down at a cliff.

Anna gave a sigh of relief that Elsa didn't fall off the cliff.

"Elsa!" Anna called out as Elsa looked up to see her sister on the other side.

"Don't move! I'll be right there!" Elsa told her as she used her magic to recreate her ice stairs. Like before, she steps on it to turn the snow into ice.

Everyone in the audience cheered except for the Duke, Hans and his twelve brothers. Ingrid was proud that her niece is slowly progressing. Snow gave a small smile since she knows not to celebrate yet.

"Help! Please!" Anna called out as Elsa made it half way. Anna gasped as she is pulled back by a sudden force.

The cheering stops and Hans was smiling like a crazy mad man.

Elsa stopped, panic is feeling up in her. The scene changed to David and Mary Margaret trying to find Will.

"I should be home with Neal, not chasing after some thief." Mary Margaret stressed.

"Let's just give it a little while longer." David suggested.

"We've been out for an hour! That's longer than I've been away from the baby since he was born. David, I think that's a pretty good start."

"All right, all right. You're right. You head home... And I'll deal with this." he told her as he left.

Mary Margaret turned and was about to head home when she heard digging. She looked to see Will digging the ground.

"Oh, I'm probably wrong." she turned to face away but then turned back. "Oh, no, I'm not." she started to head towards him.

The scene changed to Emma and Regina.

"Which way?" Emma asked, trying to keep up.

"Right." Regina answered.

"Is this a locator spell? Shouldn't we be following some, like, floaty object or something?"

"What is a locator spell?" Elsa questioned.

"It's what Emma said or describe. Don't worry about it. Soon, you'll know." Pearl told her. "I'm going to head back to my seat to keep an eye on our guest." Pearl replied as she head out of the door.

"Oh, now you're a magic expert."

"No, it's just, in the past, there was a-" she got cut off by Regina.

"There are many enchantments you have yet to be exposed to. If you bothered to study your craft, you'd know that."

"I'm kind of learning as I go. It's not like there's a lot of online classes on this kind of thing. But when you helped me, I seemed to learn pretty fast." Emma told her.

"I don't have time for lessons."

"I know. I know you're busy. And so you know, I think it's admirable, what you're doing. Helping the wife of the man you love."

Regina turned, "So I've impressed you?" she chuckles. "Well it makes it all worthwhile then, doesn't it?"

"Why are you doing that? I was just trying to give you credit. I'm trying to be nice."

"And then what? Complimenting my outfits? Giving me a makeover? Braiding my hair? Calling Robin Hood and hanging up? You're trying to win me over so I can assuage your guilt. Intentionally or not, Ms. Swan, you brought Marian back. You ruined my life. And there is no coming back from that. Because I know you think you didn't mean to, but you hurt someone. So do as I do... Learn to live with it. Welcome to my world." Regina explains as she turned and continue her search.

Back in the past, Lily manage to break into the house by unlocking the door. She and Emma enter.

"Not too shabby, huh?" Lily asked. The scene jumped to the girls giggling and playing video games. "I'm gonna beat you!" she giggled.

"No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no." Emma giggled as she press her thumbs on the game pad. She loses the racing game.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Lily exclaimed.

"No!" Emma sequels as the man of the game said,"Game over."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Lily is still excited.

"Aw." Emma responded while Lily giggled,"Yes."

"Oh, I suck at this!" Emma fall on the comfy couch. Lily sat next to her.

"Haven't you ever played before?" Lily asked.

"No. I've never lived in a place that could afford one of these." Emma answered.

"You'll get the hang of it. You hungry?" Lily asked as she was about to open a bag.

"Whoa." Emma stopped her. "What happened?"

"Oh, I- I don't know. I've had this since I can remember. I like to pretend it's some kind of symbol, like Harry Potter or something." she showed Emma her star birthmark on her wrist.

"Like you're one-of-a-kind, like you're special." Emma understands.

Elsa, Ingrid, and the distant family member relate to that statement.

"I know it's stupid." Lily replied.

"No, it's not." Emma disagrees.

"Okay. Then you are special, too." Lily drew a star on Emma's wrist with a marker.

"Thanks." Emma told her. She then realized a camera. "Hey! Check this out!" they record themselves goofing around until Emma turned it off.

"Let's promise to stay friends, okay? No matter what, there won't be anything we can't come back from." Lily suggested.

"Okay. Yeah. Promise." Emma agreed.

"For real?" Lily questioned.

"For real." Emma confirms.

The scene changed to Elsa, still trying to find Anna.

"Anna! Anna!" Elsa called her sister's name desperately.

"Elsa!" a shadow run passed her as Elsa walks to a field filled with snow. She ran to hug Anna, but she didn't respond.

Snow and Ingrid had a bad feeling about Anna but decided not to tell Elsa.

"I was so worried I'd never find you." Elsa told her.

"But I'm so glad you did." the Snow Queen appeared.

"You stay away from us." Elsa step in front of her sister, though she didn't even turned. Instead, she just stood there, seeing nothing with her empty eyes. "It's okay, Anna. I won't let her hurt you."

The Snow Queen waves her hand and Anna turned into ice. The ice statue then scattered to tiny snow flakes.

All lot of gasped and shrieks came from the audience. Anna was thinking, 'I'm dead?'

With Elsa confused and distracted, the Snow Queen took this chance and bind her niece with chains made out of ice. Elsa is caught.

"Where's Anna? What did you do?" she asked tearfully.

"I'm sorry for all the theater, but she was never really here, sweetheart. An icy illusion because I needed you." she approach her.

Many 'oh' and sighs came from the audience who were glad that the Anna they saw was a fake.

'If that was not me, then where am I?' Anna thought.

"For what?" Elsa questioned in fear. The Snow Queen simply look down and the chains pulled Elsa down to her knees.

"Look at yourself. So much fear. Imagine what you could do if you only learned to control it. You had a chance to do so once, but you squandered it." the Snow Queen told her in disappointment. "Fortunately for me, the more frightened you are, the stronger those chains will hold. And that's all I need for now- you out of my way." the Snow Queen also got down to her knees so she could get to Elsa's level. "I would tell you that everything is going to be fine, that I won't hurt you, but your worry, your fear, are exactly what's needed right now." she smiled as she got back up, leaving Elsa shackled.

"What are you gonna do?" Elsa asked, her voice breaking.

The Snow Queen sighs in excitement. "I'm going to build a snowman."

"Hey, that's what I do." Anna shouted at the line.

The scene change to Will digging up many holes.

"Bollocks. Where the bloody hell is it?" Will asked himself.

"Looking for something?" Mary Margaret questioned.

"Not really your concern, is it, lady?" Will asked.

"Maybe you should have made a map for whatever it is you're looking for." the new mayor suggested.

"I did make a map, thank you very much." Will replied.

"Did you lose it?" Mary Margaret questioned.

"No, I didn't lose me map. It's in me traveling sack, safe and sound." Will answered.

"But you're not "traveling" because you buried your sack and the map." she realized.

"Yes. Okay. I buried the map to find the sack in the sack I'm trying to find." he paused. "I screwed up. Happens to the best of us."

"Not really."

"Well, it happens to the best of us when we have a touch too much to drink." he corrected.

"That I buy."

"What's it to you, anyway? It's not like you're the sheriff."

"Oh, no, but I am the sheriff's wife." she told him

"You're married to the blonde?"

Many "what" and confusion came from most of the audience. Other laugh at the thief's way of thinking.

"That's my daughter. Other sheriff."

"What now?"

"You know, in your mug shot, you looked taller... And smarter."

"Did the sheriff's wife just call me short and dumb?" Will took that as in insult.

"I mean, you're not even gonna try to run, are you?"

"No. Consider yourself lucky that I'm too knackered."

"You didn't break out of jail." Mary Margaret concluded.

"I didn't?" Will questioned in confusion.

"My husband let you go. So I would have a little victory. Do a little tracking, put a criminal back behind bars, feel good about myself. I bet that you didn't even do anything very serious." she folds her arms.

"I got drunk and broke into a library."

"Oh!" she chuckles. "A boozy bookworm! Oh, this is David. This is so David." she sighs. "Well you can admit it. This whole thing is an elaborate hoax."

"What if I did admit it?" Will asked.

"I'll pardon you."

"Right so I'm supposed to believe that the sheriff's wife can give me my freedom."

"I'm also the mayor." she added.

"He did it." Will answered.

"I don't think he did. I just think he said that so he can be free." Elsa comments.

"I knew it!" Mary Margaret exclaimed as the scene changed to Elsa's ice stairs.

"Looks like Elsa was here." Emma told Regina.

"Thanks, Ms. Swan. Please continue to point out the obvious." Regina replied.

"Then obviously we're not gonna step on it till we know it's safe." Emma advised.

"It's safe." Regina steps on it and nothing happened.

"Hey!" Emma exclaimed.

"You were saying?" Regina questioned.

"I don't know why I even bother." Emma answered.

"Well, that makes two of us. Now hurry up. I'd like to get to that Snow Queen before it's actually winter." Regina told Emma as they make it half way.

"Something's not right." Emma senses.

"Maybe your sparkly, blue-dressed friend is closer than you think." Regina suggested.

"Don't call my sister that, Regina!" Anna exclaimed.

"Too bad she isn't here to hear it!" Hans yelled from his seat.

"Zip it, ice statue! Your still frozen remember?" Anna shouted back.

"Enough you two and just watch the screen." Pearl told them both.

"Yes mam." they both replied.

"No. This is not Elsa." Emma points out as a sudden gust of wind and shaking forced them to crouch down.

"Oh! It's the Snow Queen! She found us!" Emma exclaimed as the wind howl.

"Sidney." Regina realized.

"Sidney? What does Sidney have to do with any of this? Regina! Talk to me! What aren't you telling me?" Emma pleaded as the scene changed to the past. Young Emma and Lily are sleeping on the couch when Emma woke up to the sound of glass crunching. She saw light and a shadow coming closer.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! There's someone in the house. We need to go." she shook Lily till she stirs. The light shine on them.

"Lilith?" a man's voice called out.

"Run. I got this." she grabbed a candle stick. "Stay away. You're not taking us anywhere. We're not going back into the system."

"Sweetheart, what nonsense you been telling this girl?" the man asked.

"Wait what? What is going on?" Anna asked.

"You'll see." Pearl answer.

"What's going on? Who is this? Lily?" Emma called out when Lily did not respond.

"Honey, tell her the truth. I'm your father. And you're coming home with me. Your mother is worried sick." the man told the girl.

"What! She has a family? I thought she was just like Emma." Anna exclaimed.

"Your father? You have a family? I thought you were like me." Emma felt betrayed as the scene changed to Emma and Regina.

"Wow, talk about coincidence." Kristoff comments what Anna just said.

"You lied to me. You said you didn't have a clue where Sidney was! He was in your mirror this whole time?!" Emma yelled.

"Maybe I did. So what? I don't have to tell you everything I'm doing." Regina opened her pocket mirror.

"Nor do I, your majesty." Sidney agrees.

"You led us here. You're working for the Snow Queen?! Traitor!" Regina shouted at him.

"I'm the traitor? I think your majesty should take a look in the mirror. And as you contemplate what you've done, know that she has a present for you that I'd say is well-deserved." he smiles as he disappears.

"Sidney!" Regina called out in anger. When he didn't reappear, she shut the compact in anger.

"Regina?" Emma tries to get her attention.

"Save your moral judgment." Regina replied as cracking can be heard.

"Look!" Emma exclaimed as the stairs started to break. The two woman run to the other end. "Jump!" Emma shouted as they jumped and made it.

The scene changed to Elsa, still struggling to break free.

"I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid." Elsa concentrated as she managed to break her chain. She sighs as she gets ready to move on.

Many "yay" came from the townspeople. Hans scowl and the Duke huff. Ingrid and Snow are proud of Elsa.

The scene changed to Emma and Regina.

"You okay? Regina?" Emma called out when Regina stood her ground.

"I think we have a bigger problem." Regina told her as the scene shows a ice warrior with a battle ax and shield.

"That is not a snowman. It's not huggable." Anna comments.

Back in the past, Emma watches as Lily's father talked to the police.

"Emma! Emma. Emma." Lily called out to her from the car. Emma gave up and turned to her. "Don't worry about my dad. He's just pissed I used his visa. When this blows over, come find me. We can run away together." Lily told her as she tries to give her her contact list.

"You tricked me." Emma still felt betrayed from her lies.

"I'm sorry. I know I lied about my family, but everything else I said is true. I hate my home. I feel invisible there. I'm just like you. I am! I was an orphan. It's just they adopted me. But it's not my home. You promised. Friends forever, no matter what." Lily told her. Emma turned and walks away from her. She licked her thumb and erased her star mark that Lily made.

"Emma! Emma!" Lily cried as Emma got into the van with a woman shutting the door.

Back to the present, Emma runs to a different area as Regina distracts it with her fire ball. The ice warrior backed up and notice Emma. Emma used her light magic to push the creature into a tree, shattering its arm. She runs to join Regina. However, it grows back its arm and ax.

"Oh, that's a problem." Emma stressed.

"Not helpful." Regina comments.

"Try again together." Emma suggested as Regina nods her head. They both combined their power. Using light and fire magic, the ice warrior melted until it was destroyed.

"I think we did it." Emma replied.

"What a welcome visit, ladies." the Snow Queen suddenly appeared. "Thank you for bringing me what I needed." she used her magic to take the compact mirror from Regina's pocket to her hand.

"Give me back my mirror, you -" Regina got cut off.

"No." the Snow Queen answered as she choke her.

"Hey, stop! Don't-" Emma got cut off as the Snow Queen choke her. The Snow Queen continue her magical choke but was too late to notice Elsa. She blasted her to the ground, releasing the two from the magic.

"You want a fight? Fight me." Elsa told her.

"Well done, Elsa. You're losing your fear. There's hope for you yet." the Snow Queen comments as she got up in a creepy way.

"Let's just finish this now." Regina told her.

"No need. I have what I want." she explains as she used her magic to teleport away in snowflakes.

"Are you both okay?" Elsa asked Emma and Regina.

"We are now. Thank you." Emma answered Elsa before she turned to Regina. "Why didn't you tell me about Sidney?"

"Because, despite what you wish, we're not partners. I didn't ask you to tag along."

"Well, I did. And if you had told me, maybe you would have saved us some trouble." Emma told her.

"Okay, tell you what? That I threw Sidney in a mirror to help me kill Marian, but then I changed my mind? What's the point? You never would have believed me.
I know you too well, Swan. Stop trying to get me to forgive you because it will never happen." Regina replied.

"Stop it. You two need to mend your differences. Otherwise Storybrooke doesn't stand a chance." Elsa mediate the two.

Regina scoff, "We never will. For one simple reason I don't want to." Regina than teleported in a cloud of purple smoke, leaving Elsa and Emma behind. The scene changed to the Snow Queen looking into the compact mirror.

"You're free. As promised." she told him.

"Thank you. Now, what is it you wish me to do first, my queen?" Sidney asked.

"I wish nothing from you." the Snow Queen answered.

"I don't understand. The deal was-" he got cut off.

"It wasn't you that I wanted, Sidney." she laid down on her bed/sofa... kinda. "It was the mirror itself. You more than anyone should understand a mirror's importance. Mirrors reflect our mood, our desire, our essence. They are a temporary receptacle for some... Tiny fraction of our soul." she explains.

"Well, you you have other mirrors." Sidney points out.

"I have many, hundreds. But none as important as this one. For what I want to do, your former home should do quite nicely. The person who trapped you in here imbued it with much dark magic." the Snow Queen replied.

"My queen, what are you planning?" Sidney questions.

"What I'm planning is to get what has been denied to me for too long... What I deserve." the Snow Queen answered.

"What is that?" a town person asked.

"And what's that?" Sidney asked.

"Oh, that is what I just said." he replied.

"That's between me and... Well, my reflection." the Snow Queen told him. After a moment of awkward silence, the Snow Queen waves her hand and the door of her snow lair opens. Sidney bows to her. "Enjoy your freedom, Sidney." he turned to see her now in front of him. "A word of advice. Get a warm coat. It's going to get a bit cooler around here." she advised.

"Whoa, she scared me for a moment. First she was on her bed and now she is in front of him." Anna comments.

Snow was not that surprised. Despite back then, when she was tricked by the False Mirror, she learns to teleport anywhere. For her descendants to learn how to do it wasn't a big deal to her.

Sidney walks to the exit in silence, leaving the Snow Queen alone. She hold the compact close as she walks to the center of the room and opened the compact mirror. She uses her magic to break the compact mirror and then summons her main mirror which is broken and has one slot, as if she has been collecting mirror shards as puzzle pieces for years. She stares at the broken mirror.

Snow looked at Ingrid's version of the False Mirror in worry. The mirror shows people their worse self and of others. She hopes that Ingrid doesn't used the mirror since someone is going to have to pay for being influence by that cursed object.

"So close. Soon I will have what I want." she told herself as she took the piece of the compact mirror and puts it in her main mirror. A perfect fit. The broken mirror become whole as Ingrid stared at her reflection.

"A family that loves me." she reveals what she wants as she looked hopeful in her mirror.

Many confusion came from the audience. Elsa understands Ingrid's intentions since hers and Ingrid's wish clash together. Snow completely understand the idea, since most Snow Queens' usual intentions are to save the family they loved dearly or to gain that love back...Or it could be how the family tree works that way.

Anna was a bit slow until she remember what Ingrid and Pearl said before.

"We have a quarrel that lead us to...take different paths. We still have not fix our relationship yet. And we'll never will." Ingrid had told her. "She's my sister." Ingrid told Elsa about her relationship with her mother. "Your sisters wouldn't want you to do this." Pearl hint that Ingrid has another sister other than her mother.

'Aunt Ingrid must have got into a fight with mother. It must have driven her to find a family who loves her but mother is dead before Aunt Ingrid was set free. Which means she must be after someone else to be her family' Anna thought.

The scene changed with Emma and Elsa walking back from the forest.

"I'm sorry I took off. The Snow Queen tricked me. She made it seem like Anna was here. I thought I was chasing her." Elsa explains.

"I get it. I'd do the same thing." Emma told her.

"So why did you let Regina just walk away?" Elsa asked.

"You heard her. She wants nothing to do with me." Emma answered.

"Maybe you shouldn't give up on her so soon." she comments.

"It's like I said, once you screw someone over, there's no going back." Emma repeats what she said earlier.

"I don't believe that. If there's one thing my sister taught me, you don't give up on people. If someone's important to you, don't give up on them. Even if they say hurtful things or send a giant snow monster to chase you away." she joked. The scene changed to Regina feeling frustrated, stressed, and clearly upset.

She sighs as she heard Emma coming down the vault. "What do I have to do to get you to leave me alone, Swan? Go away."

"I'm an idiot." Emma replied.

"Finally, something we can agree on." Regina agrees.

"I'm an idiot because I've been down this road before." Emma finished.

"Irritating me? Yes, you have." Regina suggested.

"No, when I was a kid. Someone came into my life for a while, and I thought we were gonna be... Best friends. But this girl lied to me, and I pushed her away because of that lie, and she asked me to forgive her, but I never did. It took some time, but I realized that was a mistake. And I regretted the decision. But by then, it was too late. The damage was already done. I don't want to make the same mistake again, Regina. Living in Storybrooke, I've got my son and my parents, and I love them. But they can't always understand me. They don't know what it feels like to be rejected and misunderstood not the way I do, not the way you do. And somehow that makes us... I don't know unique, or maybe even special. I wasn't looking for you to assuage my guilt. I was just looking for you to be my friend." Emma explained.

"You thought we were friends?" Regina questioned.

"Crazy, right? But I thought it could be, that it was possible. I'm not gonna stop trying. Even if you still want to kill me." Emma was about to leave.

"Emma, wait. I don't want to kill you." Regina admitted.

"See? That's a start." Emma replied as the scene changed to Mary Margaret taking care of baby Neal.

"Hey." David returned. They share a kiss.

"I love you." Mary Margaret replied.

"Oh, I love you, too. How's Neal? He survive an hour with Belle?" David asked.

Mary Margaret chuckles, "She was wonderful. Took great care of him." She then whispered,"I caught the thief."

"What?" David asked.

"Will Scarlet. I tracked him down." she answered.

"That's amazing. W-well, where is he? Back in his cell?" David questions.

"Eh, I pardoned him." she simply replied.

"Wait. What?" David respond.

"That's my line, David." Anna replied. Kristoff chuckled at Anna.

"It's okay. He admitted the whole thing. He told me about how you let him escape so I could track him." she explained.

"H-h-he told you that?" David asked.

"Don't be mad. He tried to keep your secret. But really, he's a terrible liar. Not to mention, I am familiar with your tricks. Your plan worked. I feel more like myself again." she admit. David chuckles. "What's so funny?"

"Yeah, no, Mary Margaret. I couldn't be happier that you enjoyed yourself today, but I had nothing to do with it." David told her.

"No, of course you did. I mean, the way-" she got cut off.

"Mn h-mph." he responded.

"He really did escape?" she questioned.

"Yeah. And you really pardoned him." David replied.

"Well, what do we do now?" she asked.

"Uh, hope he doesn't pass out in another library?" he answered but in a question way. "Look, if the outcome of his escape is that you found a part of yourself again I'd say he earned that pardon."

They kiss as the scene changed to a conflicted Emma. She wears white and has her hair tied back. She grabbed the white box and put it on the table.

Hook knocked on the side door with his hook. "Hello, love. You seem vexed Like you could use a drink." he gave her his bottle of rum.

"That's putting it lightly." she took the rum and drink a little bit.

"What's that?" Hook questioned the box.

"What's left of my childhood." Emma replied sadly.

"May I have the honor?" Hook asked. Emma set on the table so Hook can see it and opened the lid. She took out a smaller box and looked at it.

"Are you okay?" Hook asked.

"I think so." Emma answered as she gives Hook the box. He set the small box down and opened it. He took out her glasses, then a ring, and a photo of her back when she was in love with Neal.

Emma sighs as she took her baby blanket. She then notice her camera and took it out. She looked to the small TV and went to it.

"Swan?" Hook called out to her as he followed. Emma connect the camera to the screen.

"I haven't watched this since I recorded it, but some things happened today, made me think about the past." Emma sighs.

"Reflective today, are we? Hey. Show me." he locked his hand with hers. "I'd love to know more about your beginnings."

Emma press the remote to when she was young and with Lily.

"Who's that lass?" Hook asked.

"Just an old friend." Emma answered. Hook puts his arm around her shoulder as she leaned her head on his. The giggleing continues until it shows a boy's face.

"Hey, look what the new girl brought with her!" his laugh can be heard. The two looked at the screen in slight confusion.

"Where is that?" Hook asked.

"I- I don't really remember. Maybe my next foster home?" Emma suggest.

"Blocked it out? Unpleasant time?" Hook gave his suggestion.

"I guess." Emma thought.

"Who's that? Another friend?" Hook asked about the boy.

"I don't remember any of this." Emma replied.

"Give it back, Kevin." a familiar voice can be heard from the tape. Hook and Emma unlocked their hands as they both stared in shock. "The camera is Emma's, not yours."

"No way..." Elsa whispered. Everyone else was shocked, even Ingrid.

'That must mean that Emma and Elsa are to be my new family... My new sisters.' Ingrid thought.

"Bloody hell. Is that?" Hook paused mid question.

"We respect property in this house, Emma." the Snow Queen told her as she went to take the camera from the boy. Emma paused at the scene with the remote.

"Yeah." Emma replied.

Pearl press the remote and it went straight to episode six.


I hope you had enjoy it. See you next time.
