The New Neverland

The Jolly Roger returned to Storybrooke Harbor to cheers from many of the townspeople who gathered to see her return. Regina and Emily stepped off and watched at the people gathered around the Charmings and their family to welcome them home. They also saw Belle, Gold and Neal share a hug. Emily saw the dejected look on her friend's face. She gave Regina a little side hug. Regina looked at her friend and gave her a sad smile.

They were about to leave when they heard Mary Margaret say, "And we owe a lot of it to her. Regina helped save us all." Needless to say, Regina and Emily were very surprised at her statement.

A little while later, Gold, Belle, Neal, Emily, David and Regina were talking when they heard Henry call out, "Hey, Mom, Dad. What about Felix? He's still free." None of them knew it was really Pan in Henry's Body.

They all walked over and Regina said, "Henry's right. We can't just let Felix walk away free."

"Don't worry," said David, "we got plenty of cell space for this guy." Then, he lead Felix away.

Emma stood behind Henry and put her hands on his shoulders and said, "You're safe now, Henry."

Gold, Belle, Henry, Emma, Neal, Regina and Emily headed to Gold's shop. The others watched as Gold put Pandora's box back in its hiding place in the floor, "Once I seal the box in here, no one can break the spell but me." Gold then used his magic to seal the box into the floor.

"You're not going to do that?" asked Pan in Henry's Body.

"Believe me, I want Pan trapped as much as you."

"Don't worry, Henry," said Emma.

"He's not getting out of there," said Neal.

"We won't let anything happen to you again, I promise," said Regina.

"She's right," said Mr. Gold, "You needn't worry. As long as I'm alive, that boy will never see the light of day."

Later that night, there was a welcome home party at Granny's. Mother Superior was talking with Happy and Leroy when Regina, Emily and Tinkerbell walked up to her. Needless to say, Mother Superior was surprised to see Tinkerbell, "Green," she said.

"Her name is Tinker Bell," said Emily.

"I know. I just didn't think I'd ever…"

"That you'd ever see me again? Likewise," said Tinkerbell.

"Give Tink her wings back," said Regina.

"In case you forgot, I don't take orders from you,"

"She helped us. She's earned it," said Emily.

"She even got pixie dust to work again," added Regina.

"Really? Let's see," said Mother Superior.

"Well, briefly," said Tinkerbell, as she shook the vial of pixie dust she had around her neck, "I mean, it sort of glowed for a moment. It's not something I can do at a drop of a hat."

"Well, then, there's your problem."

"What?"

"You don't believe in yourself anymore," said Mother Superior, "How can I believe in you if you can't even do that?" then she walked away.

"I need a drink," said Tinkerbell, then she, Regina and Emily walked to the bar.

Later that night Regina and Emily were talking when Emma and Henry came up to them and Emma said, "Oh, let's say goodnight to Regina and Emily."

"Goodnight?" said Emily, "I didn't realize it was getting so late."

Regina touched the bottom of her son's chin, "It's going to be hard to let you out of my sight."

"Maybe you don't have to," said Pan in Henry's Body, "Maybe I could stay with you guys, tonight."

"Oh," said Regina, surprised, "Of course."

"You're more than welcome to," said Emily.

"Yeah," said Emma, "uh, just call me tomorrow and let me know what time you want to pick you up."

Regina wrapped her arm around Henry's shoulder, "Come on, Henry. Let's go home." Then, Regina and Henry they walked to the door. Emily followed close behind.

Regina and Emily got ready for bed and they went to tuck him in. They walked in the room and Emily said, "Lights out, young man."

"Mom. Your vault. Did you bring that over with you?" asked Pan in Henry's Body, as he sat down on the bed. Regina and Emily walked over and noticed the Storybook was open to a page that showed Regina and Emily standing in front of it.

"Yes, Henry, you know that," said Regina.

"With all your magic?"

"Why are you asking all these questions?" asked Emily.

"Because I might need that stuff to protect myself from Pan," said Pan in Henry's Body.

"Oh, honey, he can't hurt you. He's locked up in Gold's shop."

"But what if he gets out? What if... he finds a way to come after me?"

Regina and Emily sat down on the bed, "Magic isn't the answer," she closed the Storybook and continued, "My vault is sealed shut for a reason. It's dangerous. I'll protect you. No matter what."

"Now," said Emily, as she picked up the book and stood up, "it's time for you to go bed." She set the book on the night stand as Regina opened the bed and Henry climbed under the covers.

The two women tucked him in. Then, Regina kissed him on the cheek and said "Goodnight."

Then, Emily kissed Henry on the cheek and said, "Goodnight."

Regina and Emily then headed for the door. Regina turned off the light and they left.

The next day, Henry was still at Regina and Emily's when Regina got a call from Emma that something happened at the fairies' convent and she and Emily need to get there right away. They got Henry and headed over there a fast as they could.

When they got there Tinkerbell, Hook, Mary Margaret and Neal were watching as David and Emma were covering, Mother Superior's body with a blanket, "What the hell happened?" asked Regina.

"The Shadow," said David, "It killed her."

"Pan's shadow? I trapped it on the sail."

"Yeah, well, it got free," said Emma.

"Hook, let's go back to the ship and get the candle," said Neal, "If it strikes again, we need to be able to capture it." Neal left followed by Hook and Tinker Bell.

"Pan's behind this, I know it," said Emma.

"Pan's trapped in a box under the floor of Gold's shop," said Emily.

"Who else would be doing this?"

"So, Pan can still hurt me," said Pan in Henry's Body.

"We don't know that," said Regina.

"We have to assume he's still a threat," said Mary Margaret.

"And that he's after Henry," said Emma.

"Then what am I doing here?" asked Pan in Henry's Body.

"He's right," said David, "He's not safe out in the open."

Henry looked at Regina, "You'll protect me, right?"

"Yes, of course," said Regina. Then, she hugged the boy she thought was her son.

"We both will," said Emily, as she hugged him as well.

"Go," said Emma, "We'll take care of the Shadow." Henry, Emily and Regina started to walk away then Emma said, "Regina, Emily wait."

Henry continued to walk but Regina and Emily stopped, "What?" asked Regina.

Emma walked over to the two women and said in a soft tone, "Keep a close eye on him,"

"We already said we would." said Emily.

"I know. He just doesn't seem quite himself."

"Really?" asked Regina, "You mean because he asked for me?"

"No, I didn't... I didn't mean..." Emma started to say.

"That's exactly what you meant. You can't face the fact that I am his mother too. And maybe, just maybe, he wants me when he's frightened."

"You forget, Ms. Swan," said Emily, "Regina and I have ten years of soothing his nightmares under our belt. He's fine."

"It's not about either of you, Emily," said Emma, "I just have a gut feeling."

"Well," said Regina, "maybe you can use that gut feeling to find the Shadow instead of obsessing over who's going to comfort our son." Then, she and Emily walked away.

They caught up with Henry, and Pan in Henry's Body asked, "So where are you taking me?"

"One place in Storybrooke the Shadow can never get to," said Regina, "The place where I keep my magic."

They went to the cemetery and Regina unlocked the vault. Regina and Emily pushed back Regina's father's tomb and the went downstairs. "Promise you won't touch anything?" asked Emily as they reached the main room of the vault.

"I promise," said Pan in Henry's Body.

Regina and Emily had been sitting in Regina's vault with who they thought was Henry for a while. Emily noticed a small smile creep up on her nephew's face, "What is it?"

"I was just thinking how lucky I am to have you and Mom protecting me here," said Pan in Henry's Body.

"Oh, Henry," Regina healed out her hands to Henry and he took them, "When all this is over, I promise I'm finally going to be the mother you always wanted me to be." Both women stood up and hugged him. They didn't see Henry grab a bottle out of one of the cubby holes on the wall behind them, "I love you," said Regina.

"I love you, too," said Emily.

Then, Henry opened the bottle and a white smoke came out. Both woman breathed it in, passed out and fell to the floor. Pan in Henry's body looked down at them and said, "I know. That's why this was so easy."

A while later, Regina and Emily woke up in the vault after Gold removed the enchantment that Pan put on them. They sat up, looked up and saw David, Mary Margaret, Emma and Gold. But, no Henry.

"What? What happened?" asked Emily.

"It's Henry. Somehow Pan switched bodies with him," said Emma.

"And Emily and I fell for it," said Regina.

"He had us all fooled," said Mary Margaret.

Emily sighed, "We wanted to believe what he was saying so badly," said Emily, "We missed all the signs."

Regina and Emily stood up and Regina said, "I guess we just wanted to believe he still needed us."

"I still do," said Pan's voice. Emma stepped aside and show him

"Henry?" said Regina and Emily. Henry walked right up to his adoptive mother and aunt and hugged them.

"So, what exactly did Pan come down here to get?" asked David.

Gold scanned a small open box sitting in one of the cubby holes in the wall. He recoiled a bit and said to Regina, "Please tell me you didn't keep it down here."

"Where else would I keep it?" asked Regina.

"What is it? What did Pan take?" asked Emma.

"The scroll that contained the Dark Curse."

"Why would Pan even want the curse?" asked Emily, "Regina already cast it."

"And I broke it," said Emma.

"Well, that doesn't mean you can't cast it again," said Gold, "And this time, without your parents' true love woven in, even you would be powerless to break it."

"I don't understand. We're already in this land," said David.

"What exactly would casting the curse in Storybrooke do now?" asked Mary Margaret.
