I own nothing!

A/N: No this chapter is not a typo.


5 pm and Avery shifted the gears on her convertible. It was a bit early in the afternoon and growing colder, to be riding around with the top down, but she didn't care. Avery was from somewhere much colder than the Northern California coast. Plus, she had to get to and climb a redwood soon, she wanted to see the sunset from one. She was ten minutes away from her desired tree, 5:14 pm, the fog hadn't even rolled in. Avery heard stories of the 'sunny California coast', yeah sunny indeed above the fog. She chuckled and assumed it would take her an hour to climb the tree, which would give her plenty of time to see the projected 6:36 pm sunset. Then there was a feeling, sharp, sudden, burning and profound. Her instincts hit the beaks automatically, and the rushing sports vehicle screeched on the road, as Avery turned the wheel to pull to the ride of the rode. She looked down, 5:15 pm. Something was happening in her hometown. Something was changing, for once. Avery knew, the savior had come. Avery's hometown was in Maine, it was 8:15 pm there. She took a deep breath and drove again, laughing to the wind. It took a little more than an hour to climb the tree, and she made it just in time, pouring herself a cup a tea, she toasted it to the ocean, the oncoming fog, and the San Francisco skyline.

When she arrived home, her small apartment by the ocean, Aver thought of what she should do. Maybe she should go home, but something told Avery that Regina did not know who just waltzed into her town, and Avery returning would alert her to that. Which would result in an Emma in danger. Plus, Avery knew this world pretty well, so a young girl growing up alone in this world won't immediately believe in magic. But Henry had the book, and the savior. She could afford to lay back for a while, as she poured herself a glass of wine and sipped.

"Welcome Home Emma."


Sooo Don't hate me! Or throw things at me!

I love this chapter. I love how, in contrast to August, she did absolutely NOTHING about.

OH and if you guys didn't know, there is a 3hr time difference between California and Maine, Maine being ahead.

Trust me... The chapters will get better. Although When I get closer to the finale, I may lax on the flashbacks.

Thank you for reading! New chapter WILL be up soon! (Working on it now).
