Emma sat next to Walsh as he drove his two horses pulling his wagon. They made some friendly, idle conversation as they made their way to Alleland. They heard the low hum of voices of Snow and Charming sitting in the back of the wagon. It was a slow journey since the road had been unused for many, many years. They had to make stops to clear fallen trees or slow down to avoid holes in the road from winter storms.

"So you are a princess who is in a different body?" Walsh tried to grasp his head around it.

"Yeah, it's really crazy," Emma replied.

"I was once a flying monkey so it's not that crazy," Walsh said.

"Zelena, the green witch, turned you into a flying monkey?" Emma asked.

"Yes, and I had no power over myself," Walsh said with a look of sadness. "I did her bidding until I found a way to cure me."

"How?"

"I took a drink from a puddle that used to be a lake that has restorative properties," Walsh explained. "I didn't even know that it was magical water until it switched me back to my former self."

"Interesting," Emma pondered.

"Your father was the one that turned the lake into a puddle," Snow was overhearing their exchange and decided to chime in.

"Guilty," David said.

Emma realized so much of this land that she didn't know and so many things her parents could tell her. They had fun exchanging stories and telling each other of their adventures.

The genie looked at the whirring glow in the jar where he had trapped the fairy.

Tinkerbelle irately said, "You could have just asked me to help find your friend true love and I would have gladly helped instead of forcing me to help you."

"Actually it is not for me but for someone else," the genie answered. "I'm going to let you go once you find out who her true love is."

Tinkerbelle bristled at the deal she had to make to get her freedom.

"Fine," she figured using her power to find someone's true love was harmless. "Take me to her."

The genie smiled and jumped into a puddle with his fairy in a jar. He came out the other side of a metal urn in Zelena's castle. He made his way through the corridors and opened the door to the room that kept his beloved evil Queen.

When he got closer to Regina, Tinkerbelle exclaimed, "You want me to find Regina, the evil Queen's true love just to wake her up! She's too dangerous. She practically leveled an entire kingdom."

The genie shook the jar to get her to shut up. "We had a deal! You're going to find her true love in exchange for your freedom!"

Tinkerbelle huffed and thought about it. "Alright, let me out and I'll sprinkle pixie dust on her."

The genie opened the jar and the glow of light came fluttering out. The light expanded and Tinkerbelle emerged into a fully grown woman with wings. She sprinkled pixie dust over Regina's body so that the magical dust could be acquainted with Regina's spirit. The magical dust then rose from her body and gathered together to form a ball of light that flew out the window. Tinkerbelle became small again and glided out the same window to follow it.

The genie realized that Tinkerbelle left him there on purpose that he couldn't fly to follow the magical glowing ball. He scolded himself realizing he should have stipulated that he be allowed to follow. He ran to the corridor to jump into the nearest reflection which was the metal urn, hoping there were puddles of water he could look through to follow Tinkerbelle and her magic.

"What an idiot!" Regina thought of her genie as she continued to lay there.

Killian continued on the path to Alleland hoping he would bump into Emma making her way back to his kingdom. His chest kept aching, wanting desperately to be filled by her presence. He saw that the road was strewn with felled trees, bumps and holes and some parts had overgrown bushes. It was precarious. He had to make sure his horse wouldn't stumble and fall further hindering his progress. It still made him grit his teeth in frustration that he couldn't move faster.

Something caught his eye and he looked up through the trees. A ball of light followed by another smaller ball of light was floating above the tree line. He continued to watch it until it was out of eyesight. He wondered what kind of magic that could have been and what for.

The magical ball of light traveled over the woods, through valleys and over the river. It finally stopped at a hunting lodge. The magical ball of light traveled through the window and sprinkled over a man sitting in a chair taking a short nap.

Robin felt a tickling feeling waking him up. He figured it was his last mistress that spent the night.

"Darling, I know you think I'm some sort of sex god but I do need a break," he whispered sleepily. He opened his eyes a crack until he realized where he was, in his family's hunting lodge and he was alone. That brought him out of his dream state quite quickly. He was supposed to keep an eye out on the road for any travelers that might be Emma and he was shirking his duties by taking a short nap. He bolted upright to see what woke him. He saw a light glow on him which was the feeling that tickled him awake. He then saw a small ball of light that came fluttering through his window. The light grew bigger until it was too much for his eyes and he needed to shield them until the light waned and in its place was a fairy.

"Hi! I'm Tinkerbelle," the fairy introduced herself. "The magic light surrounding you is pixie dust that was used to find a woman's true love."

"And let me guess," Robin spoke slowly. He was panicking slightly at the moment because being someone's true love was a rather deep emotion which he wasn't quite ready for. "I'm her true love?"

"Yes, but you can't ever meet her," Tinkerbelle said matter-of-factly.

"Why the hell not?" Robin was confused. Weren't fairies supposed to help you find your true love, he wondered.

"It would just be a really bad idea," Tinkerbelle said quickly. "You need to leave now before an evil genie shows up and takes you to her."

"Why would an evil genie do that?" Robin asked.

"I didn't bother to ask after he trapped me in a magical jar," Tinkerbelle responded. "Just do as I say."

"I need to wait here to see if my friend's fiancé and her family chances to pass by," Robin stated. His loyalty to his friend and prince took top priority over anything in his book.

Tinkerbelle was getting really exasperated.

"Look, your true love is the…" Tinkerbelle was about to finish when she got sucked into the magical jar once more.

"Pardon the intrusion, but I have come to take you to your true love," said the genie as he appeared out of a mirror.

"I'm not going anywhere," Robin stepped back carefully. Apparently these two magical beings were at odds and fighting over taking him to his supposed true love. "I don't believe in holding fairies captive, mate."

"My name is Sidney," the genie bowed. "This fairy is evil and part of her evilness is to keep their true loves away from each other. I, on the other hand, am destined to combat her evilness and bring true loves together. It is destiny that you should be with this woman."

"Who is this woman?" Robin asked.

"She is held captive by a wicked witch with green skin because her beauty surpasses hers," the genie told him.

"Well, I doubt she'd look all that attractive with green skin so it wouldn't be hard to beat her in a beauty contest."

"Regardless, if you want to save your true love from a dastardly sleeping curse you will come with me," the genie reiterated.

"Right now my duty is to my prince," Robin tried to explain. "I need to stay here to watch the road for any passersby."

The genie sighed, "Well, I guess I'll just have to kidnap you."

The genie grabbed Robin and pulled him into the mirror. They traveled through reflections and mirrors until they came out of the reflection in the metal urn in the Wicked Witch's castle.

When the genie pulled Robin out, Robin felt nauseous and puked into the metal urn they just came out of.

"Quiet! We are in the Wicked Witch's castle," Sidney, the genie whispered harshly.

"Listen! I'm not doing anything you want me to," Robin whispered back.

"Your true love, she is in that room," the genie told him. "Only your kiss can awaken her. Surely you can at least give her a simple kiss."

"I don't even know her," Robin said. "What makes you think this will work?"

"It's the only thing I know of that can help her," the genie said. "Just try."

The genie pleaded with the stubborn man who looked at him with distrust. Sidney opened the door to the room and led Robin to Regina. Robin looked down at Regina and found her to be quite an attractive woman. He turned to the genie.

"Let the fairy out of the jar, then I'll kiss her," Robin wanted to at least help the fairy if things went downhill and hopefully the fairy would help him.

"The fairy could hinder the kiss," the genie pleaded.

"That's a chance you'll have to take," Robin said. He wasn't going to back down.

"Alright!" the genie was exasperated. He took out the jar from his vest and unscrewed the lid. The glow of light soared out of the jar and Tinkerbelle was freed.

Robin then bent to place a kiss on Regina's lips. As his lips felt the softness of Regina's, he heard Tinkerbelle yell, "No!" but it was too late. A burst of white magic shot out of their lips and Regina opened her eyes and gasped for the first time in a very long time.

"Thank you for your assistance," the genie gave him an evil smile. "It won't be needed anymore."

The genie then produced a dagger out of thin air and walked quickly toward Robin raising his arm to stab him.

"What is going on?" a yelled a voice that reverberated through the room. They all turned to see Zelena cast her eyes around the occupants of the room. Her expression was thunderous.

The genie decided killing Robin would be a waste of time and needed to get Regina out of there as soon as possible. He threw the dagger at Zelena which she deftly avoided then pushed Robin at Zelena. Robin stumbled against her giving the genie time to pull Regina from her bed of eighteen years.

"No!" Zelena screeched at the top of her lungs when she saw Regina was awake albeit weak.

The genie hoisted Regina over his shoulder and spilled some water out of a bottle he carried and jumped into the water's reflection.

This left Robin and Tinkerbelle in the room with Zelena.

"You did this!" Zelena looked at Robin with rage. Tinkerbelle then sprinkled pixie dust on Robin and then zoomed in front of Zelena to distract her.

Zelena felt like she was surrounded by a swarm of flies and tried to swat Tinkerbelle away. Robin started to float up in the air until he turned towards the window and sailed out of it.

Tinkerbelle continued to swarm Zelena with her bright light until Zelena screamed, "Enough!" and blasted Tinkerbelle back with magic. Tinkerbelle hit the wall and was almost knocked out when she saw Robin flying further away.

Zelena ran towards the window and started blasting Robin with magic. She managed to hit Robin in the back and he screamed as he crash landed in the woods outside of Zelena's castle. He thankfully landed in some thick brush so he wasn't too hurt but his back felt like it was on fire. He knew he needed to get up and run like the wind.

Tinkerbelle recovered and zapped herself away before Zelena could turn her magic on her.

Zelena let out a loud screech of frustration. "They won't get away with this," Zelena vowed.
