Chapter 9
"Wait, Tink! As in Tinkerbelle?" says Emma in a complete state of shock and surprise.
"And who are you?"
"Allow me to introduce Emma Swan and her parents, Snow White and Prince Charming" says Hook.
"Hello, but may I ask, what are you doing here?"
"My son, Henry, he was taken by Pan, we're here to get him back"
"You want to infiltrate Pan's camp, no, that's impossible"
"We don't believe that, while there is still even the smallest of chances we will find him and we will take him home, no one is left behind, got it"
"I like you"
"Thanks I guess"
"Listen, Tinkerbelle, will you help us, my grandson is in danger and every second we stand around he gets more and more in danger?" asks David/Charming.
"Yes, I'll help"
"Thank you"
"You're welcome, come inside, we've got a lot of work to do"
The four of them then follow Tinkerbelle inside her house so they can begin talks about how to get Henry back.
Meanwhile in Storybrooke the dwarves are on the beach, taking a moment to eat before they go back to patrolling the town.
"I hope everything's ok wherever they are" says Happy
"Me too, I hate to say this, but what if they fail, what'll happen to us then"
"Don't talk like that, Snow and Charming are coming back and then everything will go back to normal" says an irate Grumpy.
Suddenly, seconds later while Leroy/Grumpy is looking out to see he sees ripples in the water and a moment later a head pops out of the water (It's Ariel) and comes towards them, walking out of the water thanks to her bracelet. When she is completely out of the water all the dwarves gather around her.
"Hi, I'm Ariel, I'm looking for a woman named Belle"
In Granny's diner Belle and Archie are sitting on stools by the cash register while Granny prepares their food.
"And you've not heard anything?" he asks her.
"No, what if he's, ... I just hope he's ok"
"He's Rumplestiltskin, he's always ok"
"I know but I'm beginning to feel that I'm not needed"
"I beg to differ sister, 'cause this little lady just swam a real long way to find you" says Grumpy who has entered the diner with Ariel and the other dwarves, the former being kept warm by Grumpy's jacket".
"Who are you?"
"My name's Ariel, Rumplestiltskin sent me"
"He's alive!"
"Yes, he misses you very much, he asked me to give you something"
"What?"
"Hold on"
Ariel then reaches into her small bag and pulls out the sand dollar before giving it to Belle.
"A sand dollar! Why did he want me to have this?"
"I don't know but he said that you would"
Back in Neverland, in Pan's camp he has just had Neal thrown into a prison.
"So good to have you back Baelfire"
"Where is my son?"
"Don't worry, Henry is safe. Felix, come here"
"What can I do for you?"
"I believe it's time our other jailed friend had a little outing with our young guest, what do you think?" said Pan looking over to a dark corner of the camp where another jail could just be seen.
"An excellent idea sir, I'll see to it"
"Make sure that you do"
