Mystic Falls Past.
A beer kegger party in the woods. Tyler sees Melissa dancing drunk.
"Someone is eyeballing you." Girl said
"Who?" Melissa asked the girl
The girl pointed at Tyler. Melissa walked up to him.
"New in town?" Tyler asked Melissa
"I am." Melissa said
"Names Tyler Lockwood and you are..." Tyler asked for her name
"Melissa Flair." Melissa said
"Do you want to get out of here?" Tyler asked again
"Sure." Melissa said
Both Tyler and Melissa get in the cab.
They've ended up at the Lockwood estate. They get out the cab and Melissa looked at Tyler's house.
"This is your house?" Melissa asked Tyler
"Yep. Never underestimate a rich guy." Tyler said
They've gone in.
"So where's your parents?" Melissa asked again
"There at a business trip." Tyler said
"I've been to a house like this. But this is beautiful and nice." Melissa said
"So where are you from?" Tyler asked Melissa
"I was from Durham. But technially I was born here." Melissa said
"Really?" Tyler asked again
"Yep." Melissa said
"So why did you come here?" Tyler asked again
"I uh...I wanted to know why they abandon me." Melissa said
"You were in the system?" Tyler asked again
"Yes." Melissa said
"I'm sorry." Tyler apologize
Tyler grabbed Melissa's hand. They've started kissing. They walked upstairs and enter Tyler's bedroom, in a heated make out session on a bed. They took off their clothes and had a one night stand.
Enchanted Forest Present.
Emma, Mary Margaret, Melissa, Aurora, Mulan, and Hook approach the base of the beanstalk and look up, seeing that it extends through the clouds.
"It's a little freakier than I remember from the story." Emma said
"Reminds me of death." Mulan said
"Encouraging." Mary Margaret said
"Well, your compass awaits. Shall we?" Hook asked them
"Wait. If these beans create…portals, why not just pick one and go home?" Emma asked Hook
"Why the compass?" Melissa asked Hook
"Because there aren't any more beans. Whatever story you think you know, my dear, is most certainly wrong." Hook said
"There was a guy named Jack, and a cow, and something about evil giant with a treasure..." Melissa said
"And a golden goose. …Or harp." Emma said
"Sounds like a lovely tale. But the truth's a little bit more gruesome. The giants grew the beans, but, rather than use them for good, they used them to plunder all the lands. Jack, was a man who fought a terrible war, defeating all but one of the evil giants. The beans were destroyed by the giants as they died. If they couldn't have their magic, then nobody could. It's really very bad form." Hook said
"Evil giants, who made magic portal beans? Why doesn't anyone just go up and grow some more?" Melissa asked again
"Because one giant survived. The strongest and most terrible of them all. And we'll have to get past him to-" Hook said as Mary Margaret finishes his sentence
"The magic compass." Mary Margaret said
"Indeed. The treasure remains, and amongst it is the compass. Now it will guide us to your land. Cora has the means to open a portal with the wardrobe ashes, but she can't find your land without the compass. Once we get it, steal the ashes from her and we're on our way." Hook said
"How do we know you're not just using us to get the compass for Cora?" Mulan asked Hook
"Because you five are far safer company. All I need is a ride back. I'll swear allegiance to whomever gets me there first." Hook said
"Then we'd better start climbing." Emma said
"Right, so… I failed to mention that the giant enchanted the beanstalk to repel intruders." Hook said
"So how do we get up there?" Melissa asked again
"I've got a counter spell from Cora. If you'd be so kind. (Hook holds up his wrists, which are still tied together. Mary Margaret unties him. He holds up one of his arms, showing a glowing cuff.) Thank you, milady. (He winks at her.) I've got one more of these. Cora was to accompany me. So… Which one of you five lovelies shall take her place? Hm? Go on, fight it out. Don't be afraid to, you know, really get into it." Hook said
The group is still at the bottom of the beanstalk, and the five of them are arguing while Hook watches.
"All due respect, I'm the best equipped to go. How many wars have you been through?" Mulan asked Mary Margaret
"My share." Mary Margaret said
"It should be me." Aurora said
"You? You haven't fought in a battle." Mulan said
"This is about us getting home to our loved ones. Why would you-" Mary Margaret asked as Aurora finishes her sentence
"Because I have no loved ones. If I fail, you can still go on." Aurora said
"I'll go." Melissa said
"Melissa." Mary Margaret said
"You're new to this realm." Mulan said
"So." Melissa said
"It means that you don't have experience of what's up there." Mulan said
"I'm an experience fighter." Melissa said
"It's me. I'm going, and I'm not going to fail." Emma said
"Then I'm going with you." Melissa said
"You heard what he said. There's one more cuffed left and you..." Emma said as Melissa interrupt her sentence
"If you fall down. How we're going to explain that to Henry? (Emma gave Melissa the look and she knows that Margaret is right.) You need someone to catch you. So yeah, I'm going. I know how to climb trees. And besides, I'm part vampire. Vampires can land. And we're not afraid of falling." Melissa said
"Fine." Emma said
"You both are new here." Mary Margaret said
"It's about getting back to Henry." Emma said
"And it's about getting back to Jenna. We don't care what we have to face." Melissa said
"Anything in that bag that's going to help us with a giant?" Emma asked her mother
"A hook?" Mulan said
"Hey!" Hook said
"Come with me. (Mulan takes both Emma and Melissa aside. She pulls out a cloth satchel and hands it to Emma.) This – powder made from poppies. He has to inhale it." Mulan said
"Put the giant to sleep?" Melissa asked Mulan
"Yes." Mulan said
"Ladies. In this world, we are slaves to time. And ours is running out. In other words, tick tock ladies." Hook said
Both Emma and Melissa joins Hook.
"Just get on with it." Emma said
"Put your hand right here. (Emma puts her hand on Hook's shoulder. He snaps the second magical cuff to her wrist.) That's a good girl. This will allow you to climb. There are other dangers. Thankfully, you've got me to protect the two of you. I can't climb one-handed, can I? (Melissa hands him his hook from the bag.) Thank you." Hook thanking Melissa
"Whatever." Melissa said
"Don't think I'm taking my eyes off you for a second." Emma said
"I would despair if you did." Hook said
Melissa was disgusted.
"Let's go." Melissa said
The three of them begin their climb up the beanstalk.
Emma, Melissa, and Hook, who are still climbing, have managed to reach the upper part of the beanstalk.
"First beanstalk? Well, the two of you could never forget your first. You know, most men would take your silence as off-putting, but I love a challenge." Hook said
"I'm concentrating." Emma said
"No, you're afraid. Afraid to talk – to reveal yourself. Trust me – things will be a lot smoother if you do." Hook said
"You should be used to people not trusting you." Emma said
"Ah, the pirate thing. Well, I don't need you to share. You're something of an open book." Hook said
"Am I?" Emma asked Hook
"Quite. Let's see – The two of you volunteered to come up here because you were the most motivated. You both need to get back to your children." Hook said
"That's not perception." Emma said
"That's more of eavesdropping. Don't you think." Melissa said
"You don't want to abandon your daughter and you Swan...you don't want to abandon him the way you were abandoned." Hook said
"Was I?" Emma asked again
"Like I said, an open book." Hook said
"How would you know that?" Emma asked again
"I spent many years in Neverland – home of the Lost Boys. They all share the same look in their eyes… The look you get when you've been left alone." Hook said
"Yeah, well, my world ain't Neverland." Emma said
"But an orphan's an orphan. Love has been all too rare in life, hasn't it? You ever even been in love?" Hook asked Emma
"No. I have never been in love. (Margaret stomach is growling while she kept climbing) You ok?" Emma asked Melissa
"I just haven't ate anything yesterday. If I don't drink from an animal real soon I'll get dizzy." Melissa said
Hook, Melissa, and Emma reach the top of the beanstalk, to find a giant, destitute looking castle. Melissa still feels dizzy and falls down. Emma bends down and put Melissa head on her knees. Emma taps her face.
"Melissa. Come on. Stay with me." Emma said
"What's wrong with her?" Hook asked Emma
"She needs blood." Emma said
Emma puts her wrist on Melissa's mouth and her eyes open. Her veins appear and her fangs came out.
"What are you doing?" Melissa asked Emma
"Melissa its ok. I trust you." Emma said
"But I don't want to hurt you." Melissa said
"You won't." Emma said
Melissa drinks from Emma's wrist as she feels pain. Emma takes her wrist back. She wipes the blood off her mouth.
"Thank you." Melissa thanking Emma
"You're welcome. (Melissa gets out a vial of antidote that helps her.) What is that?" Emma asked Melissa
"It's antidote that helps me control my cravings if I had a taste of human blood." Melissa said
Melissa drinks the antidote. They looked around.
"What happened here?" Emma asked Hook
"It's where the final battle was. Give me your wrist." Hook said
"No, no. It's fine." Emma said
Hook grab her wrist with his hook.
"No, it's not." Hook said
"So, now you're going to be a gentleman?" Emma asked again
"Giants can smell blood. And I'm always a gentleman." Hook said
Hook uncorks a bottle and pours its contents over Emma's bloody wrist. She cringes in pain.
"Ah! Ow! What the hell is that?" Emma asked again
"It's rum. A bloody waste of it. (Hook ties a piece of fabric around Emma's wrist.) Now here's the plan – we wait for the giant to fall asleep. And when he does, we'll sneak past him into his cave. It's where the treasures are – where the compass lies." Hook said
"And then?" Melissa asked again
"And then we run like hell." Hook said
"We don't have time to wait for a giant to fall asleep. The knock out powder. We need to use it." Melissa said
"Well, that's riskier." Hook said
"Than waiting for a giant to fall asleep when we need him to?" Emma asked again
Hook looks at Emma.
"Point taken. Oo, both of you are tough lasses. But you Miss Swan. You'd make a hell of a pirate." Hook said
"Who's Milah on the tattoo?" Emma asked again
"Someone from long ago." Hook said
"Where is she?" Melissa asked again
"She's gone." Hook said
"Gold." Melissa said
"Rumpelstiltskin. He took more than your hand from you, didn't he? That's why you want to kill him." Emma said
"For someone who's never been in love, you're quite perceptive, aren't you?" Hook asked again
"Maybe I was, once." Emma said
Hook looked at Melissa.
"And you?" Hook asked again
"One story was to tell my friends. Not you for that matter." Melissa said
Mystic Falls Past.
Lockwood Estate.
Both Melissa and Tyler getting dressed.
"This is...uh." Melissa said as Tyler finishes her sentence
"A one time thing and plus I have a girlfriend." Tyler said
"I know. I was drunk last night. I wasn't thinking straight." Melissa said
"Let's just say that this...this whole thing could never happen again." Tyler said
"Don't worry. It won't." Melissa said
They hear a car pulling up and Tyler sees his parents.
"Oh crap." Tyler said
"I thought you said that your parents were in a business trip?" Melissa asked Tyler
"Yeah they were. I've to find a way to sneak you out." Tyler said
Enchanted Forest Present.
Both Emma and Melissa has the poppy powder and has perched themselves on top of a statue near the entrance of the castle. Hook, still on the ground, has found a bone.
"Are you two ready?" Hook asked both Emma and Melissa
"Yeah." Emma said
"Definitely." Melissa said
Hook bangs a metal shield with the bone, the noise causing the giant to awaken. The giant exits the castle, and Emma realizes that the giant is far taller than the statue she and Melissa is sitting on.
"Oh, damn it." Emma said
"This is B.S." Melissa said
Hook begins to provoke the giant with taunts as he slowly leads the giant to the direction of both Emma and Melissa.
"Hey! You big git! Yeah, you. Huh? You want to kill a human? Huh? You want to kill a human? Well, I'm the worst human around. Come on. Come on, then! Come on, then!" Hook said
When the giant leads over to grab Hook, Emma throws the poppy powder in his face. The giant is knocked unconscious and falls to the ground. However, Hook is nowhere in sight.
"Hook?" Emma said
"Hook!" Melissa said
Hook appears from behind the giant.
"He's out cold. I don't mean to upset the both of you, but I think we make quite the team." Hook said
"Let's go steal a compass." Emma said
Melissa jumps and land on her feet. Emma falls down, but Melissa catches her and puts her down.
"Like I said, if you fall..." Margaret said as Emma finishes her sentence
"You would catch me." Emma said
Melissa puts Emma down.
Emma, Melissa, and Hook enter a room filled with treasures.
"They hoarded all of their greatest stolen treasures in here. Piles of jewels, and every room filled with coins." Hook said
"Let's get to it. The compass." Emma said
"What's the rush?" Hook asked both Melissa and Emma
"How long do you think magic knockout powder lasts?" Melissa asked Hook
"I have no clue." Hook said
"That's our rush." Emma said
"Too right. Come. Everything we need is right in front of us." Hook said
Emma, Melissa, and Hook continue to explore the treasure room.
"How are we going to find a compass in this mess?" Melissa asked Hook
"By looking. Start searching. I wonder how much treasure we could carry down the beanstalk. …In addition to the compass, of course." Hook said
They come across a skeleton holding a sword. 'Jack' is etched into the blade.
"What the hell?" Melissa said
"That… Would be Jack." Hook said
"As in Jack…" Emma said as Hook finishes her sentence
"The giant killer." Hook said
"I always thought it was giant slayer." Melissa said
"With that toothpick?" Emma asked Hook
"Well, it packs quite a wallop. You'd be surprised." Hook said
When Hook goes to keep walking, Melissa is behind Emma who stops him by pulling him into her arms.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Emma said
"It's about bloody time." Hook said
"It's a trip wire. Quite a security system." Emma said
They look up to see a cage attached to the trip wire.
"Well, that's a plausible excuse for grabbing me, but next time don't stand on ceremony." Hook said
"Can't we just find the compass so that we can go home?" Melissa asked again
"Right again." Hook said
Melissa, Hook, and Emma are still in the treasure room.
"So it's just…in here somewhere?" Melissa asked Hook
"Allegedly. Give me a boost." Hook said
"So I can't see what you're pocketing? No way. You give me a boost." Emma said
"What about you love?" Hook asked Melissa
"Sorry. But I violently dislike you." Melissa said
"Try something new. It's called trust." Hook said
"We do it side by side and fast." Emma said
"Right. Who knows how long before the..." Melissa said
The giant's footsteps are heard in the distance.
"Someone's up. Quickly. Get under something." Hook said
The giant charges into the treasure room, the stomping causing part of the ceiling to cave in. Debris falls onto where Hook is standing.
"Hook? (The giant then charges at Melissa. But Emma pushes her out of the way and he grabs her. She is struggling in the giant's fist.) I'm not what you think!" Emma said
"You're a thief, and you poisoned me. So yeah, I'm pretty sure you're exactly what I think." Anton said
"No. Look, you have a compass. We need it." Emma said
"I don't care what you need." Anton said
The giant tightens his grip, as Emma struggles to breathe.
"No, for my son! To save my son! Don't you have a family?" Emma asked Anton
"No. Because humans killed them all." Anton said
Emma's vision begins to fade. Melissa gets up and run at the giant.
"I'm sorry that I have to do this." Melissa said
Melissa's veins appear and her fangs came out. She bites Anton's leg. He drops Emma and Melissa catches her. They ran in the direction of Jack's skeleton. They jump over the trip wire and Emma grabs Jack's sword and then uses to set off the trap. The cage falls onto the giant, trapping him.
"Nice security system." Emma said
"Efficient." Melissa said
Emma points the sword towards the giant's face.
"No. No! No! No! No!" Anton panics
"I can tell by your face you know what this is. Let me guess. It's dipped in some sort of poison." Emma said
"You have a compass. We need it." Melissa said
"You're going to kill me either way. Go ahead. Kill me." Anton said
"You don't know us." Emma said
"That bite on your leg. I'm sorry that I had to do that." Melissa said
"I know your kind. They massacred us, and destroyed our beans." Anton said
"We heard it the other way." Emma said
"That's because the victors get to tell the story. (Emma pokes the sword closer.) Okay! Stop. Here. (Anton slides the compass across the floor. Melissa retrieves it.) See? I'm not the bad guy." Anton said
"Maybe you are telling the truth. Doesn't really matter. We have to go." Emma said
"Are there any more of you?" Melissa asked Anton
"No. I'm alone." Anton said
They spot a shriveled looking bean attached to the giant's necklace.
"What's this? Is this a bean? Can this make a portal?" Melissa asked again
"Not anymore. It was destroyed like the rest of them. I wear it as a reminder… A reminder that you're all killers." Anton said
Emma points the sword towards him, again. "You're wrong." Emma said
Emma lowers her sword. Her and Melissa starts to walk away. When their back is turned, the giant breaks free from the cage. The giant grabs a boulder that is covering a tunnel that leads outside, and throws it across the room.
"Go." Anton said
"Why?" Melissa asked again
"Because you could've killed me, and you didn't. The both of you get one favor. Now go, before I change my mind." Anton said
Both Emma and Melissa turns to leave, but stops.
"Actually… we get two favors." Melissa said
"What?" Anton asked both Emma and Melissa
"Well, We could've killed you twice – the poison and when you were knocked out. Neither one of us didn't." Emma said
"What do you want?" Anton asked again
Melissa uses her strength to pull Hook out from under the debris.
"Hook." Emma said
"Bloody brilliant. Amazing. May I see it? The compass. (Emma holds out the compass for Hook to see.) It's more beautiful than legend.(Suspicious, Emma withdraws her hand and pockets the compass.) Come. Let's go. (Hook extends his hand to Emma, but, instead of taking it, Emma grabs a nearby shackle and chains Hook to the wall.) What are you two doing? What are you doing?" Hook asked both Melissa and Emma
"Hook, I… I…We can't…" Emma said
"Emma, look at me. Have I told you a lie? I brought you here. I risked my own safety to help the two of you. The compass is in your hand. Why do this to me now?" Hook asked again
"We can't take a chance that we're wrong about you. I would never rip out a human's heart. That was just a bluff. Sorry." Melissa apologize
"Sorry? You're sorry?! I got the both of you here! I got you the compass!" Hook said
"Emma and I got the compass." Melissa said
"Well, the two of you are going to leave me here to die? Have that beast to eat me, to crush my bones?" Hook asked in frustration
"He's not a beast. And you're not going to die." Emma said
"We just need a head start. That's all." Melissa said
"Swan. Flair! Swan!" Hook yelling
They ignore him as they ran away.
Mystic Falls Past.
Salvatore Estate.
"You've got some explaining to do." Zack said
"Explain what? That I was out all night." Melissa said
"That you've got drunk and never tell us where you were. A phone would've been good if you just called us." Stefan said
"What if someone kidnap you or worse?" Zack asked Melissa
"What do you have to say for yourself?" Stefan asked Melissa
"I'm..." Melissa said
Melissa felt something in her stomach. She ran upstairs. Ran in the bathroom and threw up. Stefan knocks on the door.
"Are you ok in there?" Stefan asked as he was worried
Melissa opens the door and walked out.
"It's probably nothing." Melissa said
"Are you sure?" Stefan said
"Yes" Melissa said
Enchanted Forest Present.
Both Emma and Melissa jumps down from the beanstalk.
"Are you okay?" Mary Margaret asked her daughter and Melissa
"Two earthquakes and a jump from a beanstalk. I think my brain's still rattling around a little." Emma said
"But we've got the compass." Melissa said
"W-Where's Hook?" Aurora asked both Emma and Melissa
"He's detained. Let's go. Get your stuff." Emma said
"We got ten hours before he follows us." Melissa said
"What? How?" Mary Margaret asked again
"We got a friend looking after him till then." Melissa said
Mary Margaret hugged her daughter and stop hugging her.
"Good. Now, let's go get that dust from Cora." Mary Margaret said
"And go home." Melissa said
Mystic Falls Past.
Mystic Grill.
Melissa was in the bathroom and check for a pregnancy test. It was positive.
"Oh my God." Margaret said as in shock
