Elsewhere, Hook was back at The Jolly Rodger sat in his captains quarters, trying to think of a new plan that would help him get his revenge, but he had nothing. Taking Belle away from him had failed and so had trying to kill him outside of Storybrook, he was beginning to lose options but he wouldn't give up. He hadn't for all these many centuries.

He took a sip off his rum and suddenly what Callie had said to him yesterday had popped into his head. Frustrated that she kept thinking about her especially every time he tried to plot his revenge, he slammed his fist on the table. What was it about this woman that kept affecting him this way?

He had just met her and besides he could have any women he pleased so why did he want this woman specifically? But he realised it was more than that. She wasn't just some women to him, he respected her more than that and he hated it. But deep down he actually didn't mind it, in fact, he was happy to keep thinking about her even if she was distracting him from his revenge. He wanted her to like him back, to want him too.

Taking another sip of rum, suddenly he didn't feel like continuing planing his revenge tonight.


Back at The Rabbit Hole, Kenzie was sat waiting near the bar, messing around with her glass, feeling out of place. This was the first time she had been to a bar. It wasn't that she didn't want to go or that she didn't drink, but she never had a friend to go with and she never wanted to go by herself. It would have just made her feel more awkward like it was doing so being there right now. She lifted the glass of wine to her lips and drunk some. After putting back down she swirled around in her sear, to look at the door hoping they would arrive soon.

"Hey, Callie, " a voice called out. Kenzie whipped her head around to the sound saw Ruby approach.

"Oh, hi Ruby, " Kenzie replied. "Are you hear because Emma invited you too?" Kenzie wondered.

"Yeah. Aren't they here yet?" She asked.

"Not, yet, " Kenzie answered, feeling her self relax. Now, that there was another person, she knew, someone she could talk to her she felt less uncomfortable.

"I'm sure they'll be here soon, " stated Ruby and as if with her words they came walking through the door, a few moments later.

Ruby signalled them over. Once their eyes fell on Kenzie and Ruby the pair made their way over. "Sorry, we're late," Emma said when the two got closer.

"It's ok," reassured, Kenzie, while they went to sit down.

"How are you, Snow?" inquired, Ruby.

"I'm good. I figured that there's no reason to dwell on what I did because I can't take it back now, even if I can't forgive myself, " she replied. Well she seems, more like herself again, thought Kenzie.

After hours of chatting, drinking and having fun the four were ready to go home. They stepped out into the cold night air, and Kenzie blew on her hands and rubbed them together, the sudden drop in temperature from inside the bar to the outside had made her shiver.

"So are you going to let me plan your party?" Mary Margaret wondered. Somewhere in their many conversations, Kenzie had let it slip that it was her Birthday in just a few days and Mary Magaret had offered, no insisted that Kenzie let her plan a birthday party for her, saying that it could also be like a welcome party too, even though Kenzie had pointed out that she didn't even know if she was going to be staying in Storybrook.

"Ok, sure," agreed on Kenzie. It wouldn't hurt to stay a few more days. Besides she was enjoying her time there. It could also be good for Mary Margaret as it would give her something to do, to take her mind off of killing Cora.

"Great," she beamed. "It's going to be fun," she said, with a smile.

After that, they waved each other goodbye and parted ways. Now, Kenzie opened the door to her room walked inside, then flopped down on the bed exhausted but happy. Tonight had been the most fun she had in a long time and to top it off she actually believed that she could finally make friends again. Although, it would take a while to trust them.


Several days had passed, in fact, it was the day just before Kenzie's 28th birthday when she had bumped into Mary Magaret at Granny's Diner. She had been eager to tell Kenzie that she had finished planning her party and how great it would be. It would take place in where they sat presently and begin at 6 pm tomorrow. Kenzie was just as excited as Mary Margaret appeared to be even though it wasn't her birthday.

Anyway, after she got what she came to get what she wanted she headed off to work, leaving Kenzie by herself again. She had gone back to work just yesterday, as she had said she was ready to go back.

Not long after Kenzie finished her breakfast and popped the money on the counter, before heading out the door. She didn't know what she was going to do today. Maybe she could try and find a job here, or if she couldn't she could call up her manager and tell him she would be back by the end of the week. Although, she didn't feel like going back to her old job or life.

As she strolled down the street, she wondered what type of job she would want if she was going to be staying here. A librarian maybe, I could help out Belle or maybe a job down by the docks, I do like the sea, she pondered deep in thought.

"Robinson," a males voice called out, snapping her from her thoughts. She looked up and saw Hook coming her way.

"Oh, hey, Killian, " she said, a smile forming on her face. Then she remembered her birthday party tomorrow, she could ask him to come. She would enjoy it more if he were there.

"Erm...I'm having this party at Granny's later for my birthday. Well, Margaret planned it and well it would be nice to see you there, " she added.

To her delight, a smile came to his and he said, "I knew you fancied me."

"No," she asserted. Even though it was a lie but she wasn't about to admit it to him. "I'm just trying to make friends since I'm thinking about stopping here for a while longer, " she told him.

"Ok sure." He wasn't buying it. "I'll love to come, " he said.

"Great, " Kenzie beamed, her smile coming back to her face. "Well, I've gotta go. I've gotta go job hunting. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." Finally, her mind was made up; she would stay in Storybrook.

"Aye, " Killian said.

"Bye then, " Kenzie told him, waving and then was about to leave.

"Bye, Callie," Killian called, making Kenzie stop.

"Yeah, about that, " She began to say. There was no way she could keep up with this file name forever, no of she was going to move here because they'd find out sooner or later. But still, she couldn't trust them, not yet but she had to at least try to start trusting someone if she ever wanted to have friends, besides not everyone would be the same as her old friends or him, or so her mother kept telling her.

"About what?" Hook asked her.

"About my name. It's getting hard to keep up the pretence, " she replied.

Hook glared at her through narrow eyes and tilted his head.

"My name's not actually Callie. I just said that because I didn't trust you or the others to tell you who I really was, " She explained.

"So what is your name?" He inquired, the confused expression disappearing from his face.

"If I tell you, will you promise not to tell anyone else? I don't want everyone to know it just yet. I still don't really trust anyone yet but I'm working up to it."

"I promise, " he reassured.

"Thanks," she uttered and took a moment's pause then sighed, before saying, "my name is Kenzie. Well, Kenzie Rose but everyone just calls me Kenzie." She let out another sigh, this time with relief. It was good that someone finally knew her name. It meant one less person she had to pretend to be someone else around. She just hoped she had made the right choice.

"Kenzie Rose is a great name, " he reported.

"Thanks," Kenzie muttered.

"And there's no need to worry your secret is safe with me. I'm just glad you trust me enough with it, " he told her, in disbelief that he had been the one she decided to start trusting first. A pirate and a villain that anyone else would never trust.

"Well I'm not sure if I can yet," she told him. "But I feel like I can. Anyway, it was getting hard to keep up the lie, so I needed to tell someone and I need to start trusting someone one day."

"Well I better go," added after a short while.

"Ok, bye Rose, " Hook said.

"It's Kenzie. That's what everyone calls me, " she pointed out.

"I prefer Rose, " he declared.

The way he said her name made her heart flutter but she was certainly not going to let it show. She couldn't let her feelings get the better of her. She knew she couldn't be so quick to start trusting him or anyone for that matter. "Ok, well bye Killian, " she said and walked away.
