About 20 minutes later, August showed up at the door. Emma and Neal were both hesitant to let him in, but they figured they had no choice.
"Hi, August", Emma said.
"Actually, my name is Pinocchio."
"I'll just keep calling you August."
"Fine."
"Um, August", Neal broke in, "How do we get to Storybrooke?"
"Well, it's in Maine, and we're in Florida, so we have to fly. I have 7 tickets on the next flight to Logan Airport in Boston, which is the closest airport. Then we'll have to drive or take a cab to Storybrooke."
"Wait - 7 tickets? You're coming with us?"
"Yes, Emma, I am. My father's in Storybrooke."
"Unfortunately, so is mine", Neal said.
"Hold on a second", Emma said, "What about the Bug?"
"We could have it transported to the airport there. I know a guy", August said.
"Is that legal?"
"I don't know. Was you stealing the car legal?"
"Mom, you stole that car?"
"Technically, I stole it first", Neal said.
"You're thieves?", asked Jessie.
"Not anymore, honey. That was a long time ago", said Emma.
"Oh, OK", said Jessie, "Let's go to Storybrooke!"
August had his "guy" come and take the car, and everybody else packed their bags. They all took the bus to the airport. The kids had never been out of Florida before, because Emma and Neal had feared that Neal would be recognized for stealing the watches, so they were all very excited to be at the airport. Henry and Jessie explored all the different shops with some money Emma gave them, and Kelly went to play in the little kids area. While Emma and Neal, who were a little behind the rest, went through security, a woman a few feet behind them dropped her stuff. Her baby started to cry. When Andrew heard it, he started crying too.
"Oh come on, Andy. Be quiet." Neal chuckled. "What?", Emma asked.
"Oh, nothing", said Neal, "I was just imagining my father in this place."
"Rumpelstiltskin? The Dark One?"
"Yep."
"That would be something."
"Sure would", Neal agreed.
After they'd all gone through security and the kids had had their fun, Emma bought herself, Neal, and all the kids lunch to eat on the plane and they went to the gate. They waited for about half an hour, then boarding began. Neal was in the window seat of the row, with Andrew's plane seat next to him. Next to Andrew was Kelly, and Emma was on the other side of the aisle. Next to Emma was a complete stranger and her 8-year-old son on the other side. Next to him sat Jessie, and Henry was in the seat behind her. August sat about 3 rows behind everybody else. The flight was about 3 and a half hours long and very boring; when they got out the kids almost ran right through the terminal.
"Come back, kids! We have to go the other way!", Emma yelled.
They exited the airport and found the Bug waiting for them right where August's guy's friend had said it would be.
"I'll drive", said August.
"Why you?"
"Well", said August, "Do you know where Storybrooke is?"
Emma sighed. "No."
They all got in the car, and about 2 hours later they drove down a quiet road and Emma saw a sign that read, "Welcome to Storybrooke"
