Evie began more to think about whether Chad was really right for her or not. Could it be true though? Could he just be using her to get her answers to make himself look good? Was he really just a Prince Charmless even if Henry saw him as the son of Cinderella of all people. Was she just blinded by her infatuatious crush on him? She decided that by the next study date, she would try to talk to Chad about what was going on. That night at Granny's Diner, Graham was shown to be there along with a few other patrons. Kiara was walking over and gave Jordan a plate of dessert as she was there with her father, Mr. Sidney Glass.

"Thanks." Jordan nodded at the younger waitress who was around her age.

"No problem," Kiara smiled. "I know how much you love that honey cake."

"You have no idea." Jordan smirked before she got ready to take a bite.

Kiara smiled as she left the check for Jordan and Sidney to pay after the dessert and the man's drink would be finished for the evening. Graham was playing darts as he hit the deer on the board two times.

"Nice shot, chief," Sidney smirked smugly. "I bet you 20 bucks you can't do it again."

Graham glanced at him before he picked up yet another dart and then hit the deer again.

"Bummer, Dad." Jordan teased.

"You're grounded." Sidney muttered to her.

"Next round's on him." Graham added with a smirk.

Ruby soon looked over as a certain woman came into the diner next. "Emma! What can I get you?" she then greeted.

"Nothing." Emma said quickly as she decided to suddenly leave just as she entered.

"Ooh... What's Miss Swan hiding this time?" Jordan noted. "Maybe my next article for the school paper. They don't put me in charge for nuthin'."

"You're wonderful, my little ace reporter." Sidney smiled warmly.

Graham then suddenly threw a dart in Emma's direction as it landed just before her and luckily didn't hit her, though it did spook her a bit.

"What the hell? You could've hit me!" Emma complained to the sheriff.

"I never miss," Graham reassured as he came closer toward the blonde woman. "You've been avoiding me since last night, when you saw me-"

"Leaving the Mayor? And yes, that is a euphemism," Emma interrupted and retorted. "I'm not avoiding you, Graham, I just have no interest in having this conversation. It's your life; I really don't care." she then left the diner, prompting Graham to go after her.

"Nothing like good old-fashioned drama." Jordan remarked as she watched the two leave suddenly.

Graham was soon trying to talk to Emma. "If you don't care, then why are you so upset?" he then asked her.

"I'm not upset." Emma insisted.

"If that were true, you'd be at the bar with me, having a drink, and not running away." Graham retorted.

"It's none of my business. Really." Emma defended.

"Look, can we please talk about this?" Graham begged. "I need you to understand."

"Why?" Emma demanded.

"I don't know. Maybe so I can understand?" Graham shrugged.

"You need an analysis, go talk to Archie." Emma suggested.

"I want to talk to you." Graham insisted.

"Well, your bad judgment is your problem, not mine." Emma then said.

"You don't know what it's like with her," Graham urged. "I don't feel anything! Can you understand that? Besides, Evie isn't all that very fond of me."

"Bad relationship? Yeah, I understand a bad relationship," Emma replied. "I just don't want to talk about yours."

"Look, I know you and Regina have your own issues and... And I should have told you about that before you took the job." Graham then said, trying to stay strong.

"Yeah, why the secrecy?" Emma replied. "We're all adults. You can do whatever you want."

"Because I-I didn't want you to look at me the way you are now." Graham said, trying to keep her from walking away from him.

"Why do you care how I look at you?" Emma scoffed a little bit.

"Because." Graham stated.

"What?" Emma demanded.

Graham didn't phsyically answer her question and soon kissed Emma right on her lips before letting go suddenly.

"What the hell was that?" Emma groaned in disgust.

"...Did you see that?" Graham asked as he seemed to make a rather shocking discovery.

"How much have you been drinking?" Emma demanded. "That was way over the line!"

"I'm sorry, I just-" Graham then said, sounding shook up himself.

"What? You what?" Emma demanded.

"I need to feel something." Graham said as calmly as he could.

Emma sighed before she looked into his eyes. "Listen to me, Graham. You are drunk and full of regret," she began to tell him. "I get it, but whatever it is you are looking to feel, I can tell you one thing; you're not getting it with me." she then added before walking across the street and leaving Graham alone.

Graham had a lot to think about himself and he decided to go and see if he could try to do something else with someone else and even somewhere else.


Meanwhile, Evie was grunting and tossing and turning. She was sweating a bit in her sleep as she tried to stay asleep, but she kept having a very unusual dream. She wasn't sure who these people were, but she saw a man and a woman together in what looked like a stable. They looked very happy together and they looked like they were going to live happily ever after. There was another woman after a baby was born and the second woman was talking to the man about something before she seemed to take away his heart from his chest which made the first woman cry for him. The second woman then crushed the man's heart into dust, killing the poor man instantly.

"Why have you done this?!" The first woman cried.

"I know best. Love is weakness." The second woman spoke emotionlessly before she seemed to take the baby away in her arms and walked away with the baby, leaving and going into the darkness.

"No... Don't take away their baby! No!" Evie cried out before she shot up in her bed and woke up and reached her hand out. "WAIT!" she then looked around and found herself awake from her mysterious dream as she was safe and sound in her bedroom. She then held her head, feeling royally confused before she decided to get a drink of water downstairs.


On the way down, a certain someone was shown to be leaving the house being covered in their own sweat.

"Graham...?" Evie muttered which made the man flinch and jump slightly before he looked over.

"Oh... Hello, Evie..." Graham greeted as he looked like he was in a hurry to leave.

"Uh... You wanna put a shirt on or something?" Evie asked as she turned away bashfully.

"Oh... Oh, yes, of course..." Graham said nervously before he took out his shirt and began to put it on. "I'm terribly sorry about that."

"Uh... Are you okay?" Evie asked. "You look a little sick."

Graham sighed. "I'm afraid it's too complicated, Evie," he then said. "I just came to see your mother."

"Well, that explains the smells of sweat and shame..." Evie remarked.

"You're too young to pick up on stuff like that," Graham shook his head at her. "I need to go to town. I left my car."

"...There's something else, isn't there?" Evie guessed.

"It's grown-up stuff, Evie... I don't think I can talk to you about it, I'm sorry..." Graham said. "Are you all right though?"

"...I'm okay... I just had a crazy dream..." Evie said. "I just think Henry's fairy tales have really gotten into my head lately."

Graham looked thoughtful about what she just said.

"...It's a long story, plus I have my own stress from school," Evie then said as she rubbed her arm. "Especially with Chad."

"What's that little blonde nuisance done to you now?" Graham asked, sounding a bit like a father right now.

"It's okay, Graham... I-I can take care of myself," Evie reassured him. "You say you're going through grown-up business right now, well... This is teenager business. I'll talk to you about it later, okay?" she then asked before she got herself a glass of water from the kitchen sink.

"Well... All right, Evie," Graham then said before nodding. "I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, Graham," Evie replied. "Just promise me that you'll get some sleep, okay?"

"I will, don't worry about me," Graham said as he headed out the door. "I'll catch up with you later."

"Okay..." Evie said before she sipped her water as he left out the front door. "Whatever you say, Graham..."

Graham nodded at her and he soon took his leave.

"What was that dream about?" Evie pondered to herself before she took a big gulp from her glass of water before sighing as that felt so much better so far. "Maybe it's time to have a little word with my little brother." she then suggested to herself before she went to go back upstairs and get some sleep for the night as it was quite late for a school student to be up at this hour.


The next day soon came as the kids were in school and the adults were at work.

"The big dance sure sounds exciting, doesn't it?" Evie smiled at Chad as he was at his locker.

"Yeah, totally." Chad nodded as he looked through his locker.

Evie smiled, trying to be patient and contain her excitement about going to the dance, especially if she had a chance to go with him.

"Say... Eva... Let me ask you something." Chad then said.

"YES!" Evie beamed in excitement, even if he got her name wrong yet again before she blushed bashfully. "Erm... I mean... What? What is it?" she then asked, trying to be calm and collective.

"Would you mind if I came back to your place to study again?" Chad asked hopefully with a small smirk as he looked at her. "These tests and homework assignments are kicking my butt lately."

"Oh... Uh... Sure... We could have another study party... Are you still struggling?" Evie replied softly. "Is it the planets? Don't you remember what I taught you? My vicious enlarged monkey just sat under Nicky's pinkie?"

Chad blinked before he looked at her funny. "You have a monkey?" he then asked.

Evie groaned and shook her head before she took out a sheet of paper to show him. "It's a study trick, remember? I told you it on our last study date session," she then reminded him as she showed him the letters. "'My. Vicious. Enlarged'. Mercury, Venus, Earth," she then demonstrated. "These words will help you remember the order of the planets."

"Ohh... Right... I guess I just have a hard time getting it and remembering what you tell me," Chad shrugged with a small smirk. "So I'll see you after school today. Okay, Eva?"

Evie just blinked slowly with a small smile, though she looked like she was actually internally screaming. "Well, all right," she then said. "Come meet me after school and I'll do my best to help you so you can stay on your teams."

"Great! You're the best," Chad grinned and nodded before he took her sheet away from her suddenly. "Who says The Mayor's daughter doesn't know how to have fun?"

"Oh... Um... Yeah... Of course..." Evie said softly before nodding. "Right..." she then held her head as she felt pretty stressed out right now and decided to get a drink of water from the fountain before she would head over to her next class.


Things in Storybrooke just kept on getting stranger and stranger. Especially for what was probably going on between Evie and Graham as no one seemed to understand what was going on.

"You're gonna see Chad again?" Henry complained to Evie as they were walking to school after classes had ended for both of them.

"I know you don't like him, Henry." Evie sighed.

"I really don't," Henry frowned. "Evie, please. He's wrong for you."

"I know, Henry, I'm starting to think that you were probably right... As well as Mal, Jay, and Carlos." Evie said.

"They go to your school, right?" Henry asked about the other three. "They sound more like friends to you than Chad does right now. Maybe you can even try to be friends with Ben again." he then suggested hopefully.

"We'll have to take this one step at a time, Henry," Evie said, trying to calm Henry down with his little ideas. "I think I know what I have to do though even if he's gonna come over."

"Hmm..." Henry pouted thoughtfully.

"Don't worry about it, okay?" Evie replied. "Chad and I are going to have a pretty serious talk when the time comes. Then you'll probably never have to see him in our house again."

"I hope not," Henry replied. "He's a real Prince Charmless."

"Yes, of course..." Evie nodded before glancing over curiously as Graham seemed to come into the hallway and was on his way into Ms. Blanchard's classroom.

Henry looked up and over before trying to see what Evie saw, but by the time he did, Graham was already gone into the classroom. "Do you see something weird?" he then asked his sister.

"I thought I did, but I'm not sure..." Evie said before shrugging. "Maybe it's Graham. He's been acting weird lately."

"Yeah... I wonder what's up..." Henry nodded. "A lot of the adults say that something's wrong with his head lately."

"Let's just try not to worry about it," Evie said before smiling a little bit. "Let's go home and if you have homework, I can help you with that real quick."

"I think I got it, but thanks," Henry said before smiling back. "At least I'm not unteachable like Chad."

"Yeah! Really!" Evie said in agreement while laughing before sighing and smiling again. "I love you, kiddo."

"I know, Evie," Henry smiled back warmly. "You tell me every day."

"And I'm gonna keep telling you even if you live to be 102." Evie then said before she leaned in to kiss his cheeks.

Henry laughed and squirmed just a little bit as Evie kept hugging him so that he couldn't escape.

"Ooh! Where you going? Where you going?" Evie teased as she latched onto him as they walked away from school.

Henry laughed and beamed, enjoying this time with Evie so far as they went to head back home.


Eventually, they made it to the house and Evie was helping Henry out with his homework, though she smiled as he was doing very well and trying to stay on top of his assignments, unlike a certain blonde slacker.

"Nicely done, Henry," Evie smiled as she checked his work for him. "Nice to see you're back on top of your work again."

"Well, I gotta stay on top of my classes otherwise I'll miss out on Operation: Cobra stuff with Emma," Henry said softly. "Does it really look good?"

"Of course it does, Henry," Evie smiled warmly. "I'm so proud of you."

There was soon a knock at the door.

"That must be Chad," Evie said to her brother. "You better get out of here."

Henry frowned a bit before he decided to take out his storybook from his backpack and went to get up to his room.

"Mom must be coming home late, I'll see about dinner too, okay?!" Evie then called out.

"Okay!" Henry called back.

Evie then decided to clean up the area a little bit before she came to the door. "Chad?" she asked hopefully before she answered the door. "Oh."

"Erm... Hello there, Evie," Graham greeted. "I need to come inside."

"Oh... Okay... Well, Mom's not here actually," Evie replied. "Do you want me to call her for you?"

"Actually, no, I'm not here to see Regina, I'm here to see Henry," Graham clarified. "May I come in?"

"Sure... I guess..." Evie shrugged as she stepped inside. "Henry! Sheriff Humbert's here to see you!" she then called out, using the proper name for Graham as Henry was only 10 and shouldn't be calling adults by their first names. She shouldn't either, but it was a bit different for a teenager sometimes.

Henry soon came downstairs as he looked over at his older sister and the adult man in his vicinity of view.

"I'm here to see you, Henry," Graham soon spoke to the boy, sounding rather urgent. "I was hoping you could help me."

"Help you with what?" Henry asked curiously.

"It's about your book," Graham replied. "Am I... In it?"

Henry began to look thoughtful before he looked at Evie. "Do you mind if I do some top secret work with the Sheriff before dinner tonight, Evie?"

"Not at all. Take all the time you need." Evie smiled as she then shut the door after Graham came inside the house.

However, just as the door shut, a sound was heard... "OW!"

"Oops!" Evie gasped and then opened the door as Chad was rubbing his nose with a glare. "Sorry about that, Chad."

"Ugh... I better not have a bloody nose or a scar..." Chad glared in annoyance before he stormed inside.

"...I said sorry." Evie murmured before she came to go to the living room with him to do some work together while she tried to ignore her weird dream about the baby and that random couple and the woman who took the baby away from them. Maybe that was a part of Henry's book too, but she wasn't sure, but she would worry about that later. Right now, it was time to focus on helping Chad while Henry would help Graham.


Speaking of which, meanwhile, Graham had come into Henry's room to have a word with him about his storybook.

"When did your flashes begin?" Henry asked Graham as they began to flip through the pages of his book.

"Uh, right after I kissed Emma." Graham explained.

Henry looked very uncomfortable about that answer. "You kissed my mom?" he then asked while trying to put his childish disgust aside before he asked another question. "What did you see?"

"A wolf. I saw that I had a knife in my hand and I was with Mary Margaret." Graham calmly explained.

"Were you about to hurt her?" Henry then asked as he seemed to see where this was going.

"Yes! How do you know that?" Graham exclaimed in surprise and relief.

"Because Mary Margaret is Snow White. Which makes you the Huntsman." Henry explained obviously.

Graham looked thoughtful as they looked at the illustrations which looked very and strongly familiar. "...So, you really think that I could be another person?" he then asked in surprise.

"Makes total sense," Henry nodded. "You were raised by wolves; that's why you keep seeing one. It's your friend, your guide. It's trying to help you." he then explained.

Graham began to look puzzled again. "I'm remembering this because I kissed your mother? H-How is that possible?" he then had to ask.

"Well, you two do have a special connection," Henry clarified. "She owes you her life."

"Why?" Graham asked.

"Snow White's her mother and you spared her. If you hadn't, my mom wouldn't have been born." Henry then explained.

Graham looked curious again. "Wh-What happened after I spared Snow White?"

"The Queen took your heart," Henry said as he showed a page in his book about The Evil Queen who looked just like Regina. "She ripped it out. It's kind of her thing. She never wanted you to be able to feel again."

Graham looked over before he held out his hands. "Let me see that book," he then said before taking the book from the boy and turning the pages before finding The Evil Queen who was standing in front of a rather familiar building. "What's that? I saw that, too. The wolf was howling at it." he then demanded.

"That's her vault," Henry explained calmly and maturely. "It's where she put your heart."

Graham then suddenly knew what he had to do. He put his hand to his chest and was sure he didn't feel or hear a heartbeat before he suddenly looked determined. "The wolf wants me to find it. Thank you, Henry." he then said before he suddenly rushed off while Henry had a small smile, though he pouted since his big sister would be busy with "Prince Charmless" who was clearly using her for her brain.


Meanwhile, since Chad had come over, it was time for him and Evie to have an infamous study date.

"Okay... Listen, Eva..." Chad said as he looked Evie in the eyes as they sat on the couch together. "I'm not really good at this school thing and if I don't pass this next test, I'm getting kicked off the football team, but there's no way I'm gonna learn this by tomorrow. So, why don't you just write out the formulas on a little piece of paper?"

Evie flinched as she looked back at him. "Like... A cheat sheet?" she then asked him as she began to realize that everybody, especially Graham, was right about Chad.

"Exactly." Chad smirked and nodded.

Evie seemed to look at him before she picked up her notebook and began to write something down. Chad then picked up his own notebook, though he took out his phone and began to text on it.

"Uh... So... Do you know who you're going to ask to the dance yet?" Evie then asked softly.

"Scarlet." Chad replied.

"Scarlet O'Bell?" Evie asked then.

"Yeah, I think I wanna be her boyfriend." Chad then said like it was obvious.

Evie winced as that hurt a bit even more. She began to realize that Graham, Henry, Mal, Jay, and Carlos were right all along. She then took out the paper and folded it up for him and handed it out. "Well... Here's your sheet." she then told him softly.

"Thanks... You're the best." Chad then smirked as he took it.

"So... Are you gonna come back here ever again?" Evie wondered.

"Look, girl. I got what I came for," Chad then said as he pocketed the sheet of paper she gave him. "See ya around, Eva." he then said before he went right out the door.

"I see..." Evie said softly as he left with her answers and she now knew that the others were right and that she should've listened to them.

"Evie?" Henry spoke up as he came over to see his big sister. "Are you okay?"

"Henry, I'm 16, I can handle myself," Evie said with a sigh. "You guys were right about Chad."

"Oh? Then... Then why'd you give him a cheat sheet?" Henry then asked. "I thought you were smarter than that."

"Oh, don't worry. He's not passing that test." Evie reassured.

"...What?" Henry asked, feeling confused and even tilted his head.

"All the formulas I gave him? They're wrong," Evie then explained to her brother calmly. "So... He'll be off the football team by Monday morning."

"Oh... Wow..." Henry said with wide eyes before smirking. "Clever spy work. You'll need that for Operation: Cobra."

"Sometimes I'm more than just a pretty face," Evie smirked back then, very proud of herself before she sighed and looked away a bit. "...He was cute though."

"...He was okay," Henry shrugged. "Evie?"

"Yes, Henry?" Evie then replied as she looked over at him.

"I really hope you find your own Prince Charming, even if it isn't Cinderella's son," Henry said to her. "You'll find him one way or another."

"Oh... Thank you, Henry," Evie smiled warmly, feeling touched at that as she put her hand to her heart before she smirked. "And I hope that you can find your own princess to be a Prince Charming too."

"Oh... I dunno..." Henry shrugged with a small smile. "Maybe Cinderella if I'm lucky."

"Really? You think you'd have a chance with Cinderella?" Evie asked with a playful smirk.

"Hopefully we don't end up having kids like Chad if I get together with Cinderella." Henry then said.

"Yes, that would probably be good," Evie smirked before she stood up straight, then took out her handheld mirror. "If I'm the daughter of The Evil Queen, I might as well get into character, right?"

"I guess so," Henry replied. "Why? What are you doing? Do you think you have another pimple?"

"No, nothing like that, just trust me," Evie said with a small smile as she looked into her reflection, trying to imitate her own version of The Evil Queen. "Mirror, Mirror, in... My hand, Tell me who is the biggest jerk in the land?" she then recited.

"Chad Herman." Henry spoke up, trying to sound like the mysterious magic mirror that was owned by The Evil Queen.

Evie gasped before looking at Henry. "That's right! I guess it must be magic!" she then told her little brother.

"Evie..." Henry laughed a little bit and shook his head a little.

"Oh... Come 'ere..." Evie smirked as she wrapped her arm around him a bit and playfully ruffled up his hair. "You're lucky you're cute."

"You still want magic beans?" Henry asked playfully then.

"Hmm... Lemme ask this girl Jillian from school," Evie smirked a little. "I've been told she has a bit of a green thumb. Do Tom Thumb or Thumbelina have green thumbs?"

Henry laughed a little as they went to the kitchen. "I don't think so, Evie." he then said.

Evie smirked before she let him sit on one of the stools behind the kitchen as she started to make something.

"So, what're you doing, Evie?" Henry asked.

"I thought we could both use a special treat after going through the Chad disaster way longer than we should have." Evie said with a small smile.

"Oh, you don't have to do that, Evie." Henry replied.

"I want to, kiddo," Evie smiled. "Let me make things right for my little brother by making a very special and sweet treat. I'm in charge while Mom and Graham are gone, so don't you worry about a thing."

"I like this side of you a lot better, Evie," Henry said softly. "Are you still gonna try to be friends with The Pinkettes?"

"Well... Henry... Right now, I don't know and you might think that they're Sirens or whatever your book might say, but... They're really cool and awesome," Evie explained before she looked really hopeful and sighed. "And something went wrong in middle school... I could've sworn we were all friends at one point, especially me and Ben."

"It's just part of growing up, right?" Henry guessed.

"Well... Yeah..." Evie said before shrugging. "It's very mysterious to think about though."

"Yeah... I guess so..." Henry said before looking over.

Evie turned away for a moment as she went to head to the oven. Henry looked around and then he sat up a bit from his stool and held his hand out to stick his finger inside the extra raw cookie dough until another hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. Evie smirked as she caught her little brother in the act and Henry smiled sheepishly.

"Can't blame a kid for trying, right?" Henry asked innocently.

"What am I gonna do with you?" Evie smirked. "If you wanted some cookie dough, you could've just asked. Just don't take too much or you'll be too sick to have some gooey and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies."

"Thanks, Evie." Henry said before he decided to take a couple of bites even though it was really tempting to have more.

"I thought we could both have some chocolate chip cookies, Mom used to make them for me a lot with a big glass of milk and we'd talk about whatever made me feel sad and she just made everything better," Evie smiled. "She's a really good mom, Henry. I know you think she's an Evil Queen and I'm an Evil Princess, but maybe she's changing."

Henry frowned as he wasn't too sure about that.

Evie frowned lightly and soon thought of something. "Hey... How about we watch a movie?" she then suggested. "These cookies have to go in for a little while."

"...Okay, Evie," Henry said with a small smile. "What should we watch?"

Evie paused thoughtfully before smiling back. "I think I have an idea," she then said softly. "I'll go put these in and set my timer and then I'll pick out a movie that we'll both enjoy, all right?"

"None of that teen drama stuff, okay?" Henry then asked. "I don't get how you big kids can watch that junk."

"Believe me, I don't get it either and I'm a teenager myself, Henry," Evie sighed and shook her head before she smiled. "Don't worry though. I think you'll love this one too. I know I did when I was a little girl."

"Even if you might be seen as too old for it?" Henry asked.

"Even then," Evie smiled warmly. "Come on. Why don't you go in the living room and I'll get the cookies in the oven and then we can watch the movie a little, eat some cookies, and watch more before you go to bed. You did do your homework this time, right?" she then asked to make sure as it was her job as a big sister.

"Yes, I did." Henry nodded.

"Okay then," Evie smiled warmly. "Get going and I'll meet you there in a minute."

"Deal." Henry smiled back before he hopped down from his stool, then instantly hugged Evie and ran off into the living room.

"He's lucky he's cute otherwise I would've sold him a long time ago." Evie smirked to herself as she shook her head, then came to get the cookies ready for the oven like she said she would and soon set her timer before she came to join Henry in the other room.

"Snow White?" Henry asked out of amusement.

"I thought maybe you'd like it," Evie smirked. "It was always my favorite when I was around your age."

"Makes sense, even if the dwarves kill your mom in the end," Henry replied. "Ya know, cuz she's The Evil Queen."

"Right..." Evie nodded before smirking. "Let's just try to enjoy the movie for what it is though, okay?"

"Oh... Okay..." Henry said as he got comfortable with his older sister.

"Just remember I'll have to pause it when my phone timer starts ringing, okay?" Evie then reminded. "I hope that's not too much trouble."

"Not at all," Henry shook his head. "Mom might get mad if you burn the house down."

"Ha, ha, ha," Evie smirked as she laughed sarcastically before turning on the movie for both of them. "Hey, where did Graham go?"

"Let's just say he's starting to remember an old friend." Henry smiled.

"Hm... Well, at least that will probably help cheer him up," Evie said with a small smile before she decided to change the subject as the movie was now starting. "Have a favorite dwarf?"

"Hmm... I dunno..." Henry shrugged. "They're all pretty funny, especially Grumpy."

"Yeah, he's funny," Evie chuckled and nodded. "I like how he begins to look out for Snow White caringly when he and the other dwarves go off to work even if he seemed annoyed with her."

"He reminds me of Mr. Leroy at the hospital," Henry nodded. "How about you?"

"Yeah, that makes sense," Evie said. "Oh, you mean a favorite dwarf?" she then asked.

"Mm-hmm." Henry nodded.

"Hmm... Probably Dopey," Evie said as she tried to think. "He seems really sweet."

Henry smiled before he and Evie looked over and began to watch their movie while the cookies would bake, spending some well-deserved quality sibling time together. Evie couldn't help but imagine The Evil Queen in the movie and comparing her to Regina some of the time and some of the things that happened made her laugh a little. Henry smiled as he snuggled against Evie before she brought out blankets for both of them as the movie started off with Snow White at the wishing well as Evie felt like singing along to the songs she knew. Henry smiled as he let Evie do that as he always loved it whenever Evie would sing because she had a very magical singing voice.


Regina was soon coming home late after a rather adventurous evening of her own while the kids had watched their movie of Snow White and The Seven Dwarves and cookies after Chad had left the mansion with "what he needed" to pass his tests and homework assignments in school. Evie and Henry were shown to be asleep on the couch tucked underneath a couple of blankets. The TV was left on after they slept before the movie had ended with Snow White leaving with Prince Charming to live happily ever after away from the seven dwarves. Regina soon opened the door after being out at night and looked a little bruised as she turned the lights on and came to turn the TV off.

"Hey... We were watching that..." Henry muttered sleepily before he yawned and sat up, rubbing his hazel eyes.

"Yes, you were... And now you aren't," Regina said as she turned to see her children. "I see you two had an interesting evening."

"Yeah... We did..." Henry nodded as Evie yawned before waking up next.

"Huh?" Evie mumbled before looking over. "Oh. Hey, Mom."

"It's late, so you should both be upstairs in your rooms," Regina suggested. "Thank you for looking after your brother though, Evie."

"Sure, Mom... It was my pleasure..." Evie smiled softly. "Hey, have you seen Graham?" she then asked. "I wanna tell him something."

"Oh... Uh... What is it?" Regina asked, sounding a bit concerned.

"It's... It's kinda personal..." Evie said as she came to help Henry up and out of the couch so that they could get ready for bed tonight.

Regina was still quiet as Henry helped himself to go upstairs while his mother and sister talked.

"...Mom," Evie spoke as Regina seemed distracted in answering her daughter's question. "Where's Graham?"

Regina sighed sharply before she looked back at Evie. "...Evie. Darling... Graham's gone." she then admitted softly.

"...What?" Evie asked. "Gone? ...What do you mean gone?"

"...Evie, I'm so sorry... But... He's gone," Regina said, emphasizing the word as she clearly meant to say something else. "He... Something happened to his heart... So... He just..."

"...He's dead?" Evie whispered shallowly with wide eyes.

"...Well, yes." Regina then said as Evie grunted and suddenly felt like she had been punched in the stomach.

"N-No..." Evie said shallowly then. "I... I..."

"I know you didn't like him very much, especially in trying to replace your father, but... I'm very sorry, Evie," Regina then said as she put her arm around her daughter. "It's going to be okay."

Evie gulped, feeling a very sharp lump in her throat. She then slowly closed her eyes as she felt them get wet suddenly as she bowed her head as she couldn't think of anything more to do or say but to just cry. Just as she was starting to get to know Graham and actually relate to him... It was all gone in an instant. What was she going to do now? Especially with those dreams, she had that almost sounded like his dreams about a huntsman working with a Queen and being friends with wolves?


A/N: My deepest apologies to any Gremma or Graham fans. I hate that he had to die too, but I promise I'll make it up to you guys later. Just remember to Read & Review and enjoy what you have here so far.
