I just want to thank everyone for all of the follows, favorites, and reviews! I appreciate every single one of them!

Also, if anyone has any requests for the story please feel free to let me know! I will try my best to fit them in! Just remember that I'm pretty much following the storyline of the actual show and just adding my own twist to it :)

I hope you enjoy the chapter! :)

When Hanna woke up the next morning, it took her a minute to realize where she was. She looked around and noticed that she was in Emma's room. Then, she remembered that she had come in here last night to talk to her about Henry. She didn't remember falling asleep though. That must have been why she had such a good nights sleep last night, not even one nightmare about Pan and Neverland. She looked next to her and found the bed empty. Emma must have been awake already. Hanna's eyes widened when she realized that Emma might have already left to talk to Henry. She quickly got up out of the bed and went downstairs. She wanted to go with Emma when she went to see Henry. She wanted to talk to him too. She really hoped that she didn't sleep in too much and miss Emma leaving.

Hanna got downstairs to find her parents in the kitchen making breakfast and Emma sitting on one of the bar stools sipping a cup of coffee.

"Good morning," Hanna said as she hopped up onto the barstool next to her sister.

"Morning, sweetie. How did you sleep?" Snow said with a smile as she set a plate of food in front of Hanna.

"I slept fine," Hanna said with a shrug of her shoulders as she picked up her fork and started to eat.

"At least one of us did," Emma said with a groan.

"Didn't sleep well Em?" David asked her.

"No…you know you're a bed hog, right?" Emma asked Hanna with a smirk.

"No I'm not," Hanna said as she looked up at her sister.

"Uh yeah you are Han…and you take all of the covers," Emma told her. Truthfully, having Hanna sleeping with her wasn't all that bad. She did hog the bed and steal the blankets, but Emma really didn't mind. She just enjoyed teasing her about it.

"I don't believe you."

"Well it's true," Emma told her. "I practically froze to death because I didn't have anything to cover up with."

Hanna just shrugged her shoulders. She couldn't tell if Emma was telling the truth or not.

"You know you girls seemed like you were sleeping pretty peacefully to me," David said with a grin as he looked over at his wife, who also had a smirk on her face.

Hanna and Emma looked over at each other then back at their parents.

"How do you know?" Hanna asked with a raise of her eyebrows.

"Were you guys watching us sleep?" Emma groaned.

"We just came upstairs to check on you," Snow said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"And we found you snuggled together in Emma's bed. It was so sweet," Charming told his daughters.

"Want to see?" Snow said with a smile as she held out her phone.

"You took a picture?" Emma asked as she covered her face with her hands.

"We couldn't help it. You both were just so cute," Snow said.

"Let me see," Hanna said as she held out her hand for the phone.

"See you do hog the bed," Emma said with a laugh as she pointed at the picture. "Look at all of that space you could of been sleeping on and you decided to lay practically right on top of me."

"Oh…" Hanna said, starting to feel embarrassed that Emma had been right.

"And look…you have all of the blankets," Emma also pointed out.

"Yeah I guess I do…sorry," Hanna winced. She felt bad that Emma didn't sleep very well.

"It's okay, I didn't mind that much," Emma told her with a wink.

Hanna smiled and was grateful that Emma wasn't upset.

"Okay let's find the delete button on this thing," Emma said as she took the phone from Hanna.

"I don't think so," David said as he snatched the phone from Emma's hand.

"This one is getting printed and put right on the fridge," Snow said with a smile.

"Come on you guys," Emma practically whined, she did not want that picture up somewhere for everyone to see.

Hanna just laughed along with her mom and dad. She didn't care if they put the picture up on the fridge. She actually kind of liked it.

"We'll see Em, but it's definitely not getting deleted," David told her.

"Alright fine," Emma said, deciding to give up for now. "I'm going to go over to Regina's to see Henry."

"Can I come with you?" Hanna asked.

"It's fine with me…" Emma said as she looked over at Snow and Charming.

"Please can I?" Hanna asked her parents.

Snow and Charming looked at each other, having one of their silent conversations, then back at Hanna.

"You can go if you want to," Snow told her.

"Thank you!" Hanna said with a smile.

"Alright Han go get dressed so we can go," Emma told her.

Hanna ran upstairs and threw on the first thing she could find. She ran back downstairs and pulled on her boots and her coat.

"Ready?" Emma asked.

"Wait put these on," Snow said as she handed Hanna a pair of gloves and a hat.

"Mom…" Hanna whined.

"Hanna it's cold outside. Do you want to go or not?" Snow said with a raise of her eyebrows. She was not about to have her get sick.

"Fine," Hanna said with a roll of her eyes as she took the hat and gloves from her mom and put them on.

"Be safe," Snow told her daughters as they made their way out of the loft.

"What are we going to say to him?" Hanna asked Emma as they drove down the street in Emma's yellow bug.

"I don't know yet. Probably just…" Emma started to say before she was interrupted by a loud scream. She quickly pulled the car over. "What the hell was that?" she asked as she got out of the car. Hanna followed her, wondering the exact same thing.

"I had the same question," Hanna heard Hook say as she made her way around the car. He must have heard the scream too. Hanna didn't mind Hook as much since he helped rescue them from Neverland, but she still wasn't sure if she liked him or if she could trust him.

Before they could continue their conversation, they heard the scream once more. The three of them ran to find where that scream was coming from. They arrived just in time to find Pan's shadow ripping the Blue Fairy's shadow right from her. She collapsed to the ground as Pan's shadow flew away.

"She's gone," Emma said as she stood back up after checking her pulse.

"Why would the shadow kill her?" Hanna asked in a panic.

"No idea love, but I do know the shadow only takes orders from one person," Hook told her.

"Pan," Hanna said, her voice very shaky. Pan was suppose to be trapped in Pandora's Box. He wasn't suppose to be able to get out. He shouldn't be able to hurt them anymore. If Pan was out, then that means Henry is in danger. He could be after him. They had to find him and protect him from whatever Pan might be planning. "Emma! He's probably after Henry we have to find him, we…" Hanna said as she ran up to her sister.

"I know Han. Calm down. It's going to be okay," Emma said as she put her hand on Hanna's shoulders, trying to get her to stay calm. She could see that her little sister was about to panic. Emma felt like panicking too, but she knew she couldn't. She had to stay calm and try to figure this out.

"Here, why don't call David and Mary Margaret. Tell them to meet us here okay?" Emma told Hanna as she handed her her cell phone. She wanted to give her sister something to do to keep her mind off of things for at least a few minutes.

Hanna nodded her head and took the phone from her sister. She did not miss the fact that Emma called them by their first names. She wondered when her sister would get over that and just start calling them mom and dad. Hanna quickly found her dad's number in the phone and called him.

"Hey Em. Everything okay?" David said as he answered the phone.

"Dad, it's me."

"Hanna? What's the matter? Are you okay? Where's Emma?" David asked in a panic. He could tell by the sound of his little girl's voice that something happened.

"Emma and I are fine, but it's Pan's shadow. It got out somehow it attacked the Blue Fairy. You have to come it might be after Henry and…" Hanna was talking about a mile a minute trying to explain to her dad what had just happened.

"Hanna slow down. Tell me where you are and your mother and I will be right there. Everything is going to be fine," he assured her.

Hanna told her dad where they were and went to give the phone back to Emma. In the time that she was on the phone, Neal had arrived and had been filled in on what just happened.

"Are you girls okay?" Emma and Hanna heard David say from behind them. They had arrived a lot faster than Hanna thought they would.

"We're fine," Emma assured him as Hanna just nodded her head. She was actually pretty shaken up by what had just happened. She couldn't stop worrying about Henry and the fact that Pan might be out there somewhere. She never thought she would have to deal with him again.

As Emma and David went over to cover up Blue, Snow went to her youngest daughter. She could tell by the look on her face that she was not fine.

"Are you sure you're okay baby?" Snow asked Hanna as she wrapped her arms around her.

"Mhmm," Hanna said as she held on tight to her mom.

"That thing isn't going to hurt you," Snow said as she placed a kiss on top of her daughter's head.

"I know, but what about Henry," Hanna said as she looked up at her mom. "It could go after him next and…"

"What the hell happened?" Hanna turned to see Regina and Henry approaching them. She was relived to see that Henry was safe.

"The shadow. It killed her," David told Regina.

"Pan's shadow?" Regina asked in confusion. "I trapped it on the sail."

"Yeah, well it got free," Emma told her.

Emma continued to tell Regina that she knew Pan was behind this. Regina reminded her that Pan was trapped in a box under the floor of Gold's shop, but Emma knew it was him. Everyone agreed that they had to assume Pan was still a threat, and they had to find a way to stop him. As Henry turned to Regina for protection and comfort, Hanna watched Emma and noted the look on her face. She was thinking the same thing that Hanna was…that there was still something very off about Henry's behavior and it didn't have anything to do with him reaching out to Regina. She is his mother. She was the one who raised him for the first 10 years of his life, but there was still definitely something going on.

Neal and Hook went off to the Jolly Roger to get the candle, so they could capture the shadow. Regina was taking Henry to her vault to keep him safe from whatever dangers Pan and his shadow may possess. While, Hanna went along with her sister and parents to Gold's shop. They were going to get that box and make sure Pan was still safely inside.

Hanna was really surprised that they were on their way to Mr. Gold's shop and her parents had actually let her come along. Usually, they would dump her off at Granny's with Red, but Hanna definitely wasn't complaining. She always wanted to come with them anyway and now she was. Although, she did notice the tight grip her mom had on her hand and the fact that her dad was walking very closely on the other side of her.

Mr. Gold and Belle were just leaving the shop as the group approached them. It took some convincing from Emma, but Gold agreed to give the box to her and let her open it over the town line. Pan would be powerless, and they could get to the bottom of what was going on and destroy Pan once and for all.

"Be careful, Emma," Snow said as she watched Emma cross the line, gun in hand, ready for Gold to open the box.

Hanna watched the red smoke float out as Mr Gold opened the box. When the smoke disappeared, there was Pan lying on the ground in its place. Hanna watched as he stood up and turned to face Emma. Hanna flinched at the sight of him. Seeing his face brought back all of those memories of Neverland. All of the horrible thoughts he put into her head, the hours and hours of wandering through the jungle, and the constant fear that weren't going to be able to save Henry and make it away from that terrible place.

Snow and Charming both noticed the look on their little girl's face when Pan appeared out of that box. They knew she was scared. "It's okay," Snow assured her.

"He can't hurt you," David said as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close to him.

Hanna listened to what her parents told her and took comfort in the fact that they were right there with her. She was totally thrown off guard when she heard what Pan said.

"Mom?" Pan said as he looked at Emma.

"What?" Emma said in confusion.

Hanna listened as Pan claimed he was Henry. That Pan switched bodies while they were still in Neverland. Gold didn't believe him, but Pan still tried to convince them that he was really Henry. Hanna thought that maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe that's the reason Henry had been acting so different ever since they arrived back in Storybrooke—he was actually Pan. That would explain the shadow escaping the sail and attacking Blue as well.

"Emma, I don't think he's lying," Hanna said as she started to walk forward. Snow and Charming held onto her arms, preventing her from walking any closer. They weren't taking any chances.

"I know," Emma said as she eyed the boy up suspiciously. "Tell me something only Henry would know."

Pan went on to tell Emma about him getting trapped in the mines, about blowing up the well, and that he likes cinnamon in his hot cocoa. The others weren't convinced. They didn't think this proved anything. Emma then asked him to tell her when they first connected, not met, but really connected. Hanna watched as Pan smiled and told Emma about the time at Henry's castle when she first came to Storybrooke.

"And what did you tell me?" Emma asked.

"That I knew why you gave me up… you wanted to give me my best chance."

"Henry," Emma said with relief as she lowered her gun.

"Mom!" Henry said as he ran over to her, giving her a hug.

"It is Henry," Hanna said as she hugged her mom and dad. This was really Henry. She knew it. Only Henry would have known something like that. He was here and he was safe, now all they had to do was figure out how to switch them back.

After a quick reunion, everyone made their way to where the real Pan was—Regina's vault. Hook and Neal were there with the candle. They weren't able to capture the shadow yet. They also had tried getting into the vault, but it was sealed shut.

Hanna watched as Emma walked away, obviously frustrated about the situation. She also watched as her parents followed. She knew Emma must be upset that they hadn't found out about Henry sooner. She knew her parents were going to talk to her and reassure her that everything was going to be alright. She thought about following, wanting to help Emma too, but she decided against it. She thought Emma need this one-on-one time with their parents. She needed their comfort just as much as Hanna did, even if she was an adult. Hanna thought maybe this would allow her to warm up to them and get her a step closer to calling them mom and dad. Hanna decided to go talk to Henry instead.

"So it's really you in there?" Hanna said as she walked over and stood beside her best friend.

"Yeah it is," Henry told her with a smile.

"Good, I'm glad," Hanna said as she gave Henry a hug. "We just have to find a way to switch you back because I don't really like looking at that face you have right now."

"Me either," Henry said with a laugh.

Gold was finally able to break the protection spell on the door, and they all entered the vault in search of Regina and the real Peter Pan.

When they made their way down the stairs and into the room, they found Regina lying on the floor. Snow rushed over to her, checking her pulse and making sure she was still alive. Fortunately, she was just unconscious and Gold was able to use some sort of magic and wake her up. They looked around, but Pan was nowhere to be found. It only took Gold a few minutes to realize what he had taken from Regina's vault—the dark curse. The one that had ripped them all from the Enchanted Forest and brought them here. The one that took away all of their happy endings. The one that Henry, Hanna, and, Emma had worked so hard to break. Pan had it and they had to find some way to stop him from casting it.

Once they were outside of the vault, Hanna listened as the adults decided what to do…how they were going to stop this curse. Regina said that the curse was made to be unstoppable. She doesn't think that there is anything they can do. However, Gold, who usually knows just about every loophole, assures them that Regina can stop the curse. They have to get the scroll, and she has to be the one to destroy it. Both her curse and Pan's curse will be ended. He warns that there will be a steep price though, magic always comes with a price.

Gold tells them that instead of going to Pan to get the scroll, they will bring him to them with a spell—one that will return Pan and Henry to their own bodies. He said that once Henry is back in his own body, he'll have the scroll and can bring it to them, so Regina can destroy it once and for all.

Hanna was glad to hear that Mr. Gold had a plan. Regina would be able to stop Pan's curse and that was definitely a good thing. She really hope the price she had to pay wasn't as bad as Gold made it seem to be, but she figured anything would be better than what Pan would have in store for them.

They all went to Gold's shop to prepare Henry for the spell. Gold had everything he needed and was ready to enact it. He told Henry that he will fall into a deep sleep and when he wakes up he will be in his own body. Hanna watched as Gold waved a wand over Henry, causing him to fall asleep. Then, all of a sudden, Henry began to shake.

"What's happening?" Hanna asked, frightened by the sight in front of her.

Gold explained that Henry's spirit is leaving Pan's body. After few seconds he was finally still.

"It worked," Regina said with relief.

"Let's go find our son," Emma said with determination as she headed out the door.

The group ran down the street and met up with Henry at the library. He came running towards them with the scroll in his hands. He ran right into Regina and Emma's outstretched arms.

It's me, it's me. It worked!" he exclaimed as he handed the scroll to Regina.

As soon as the scroll touched Regina's hand, a bright light flashed and Regina fell to the ground. Emma had to shout her name several times before she finally gasped and opened her eyes.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Emma asked as she helped Regina off of the ground.

Regina claimed to be fine, but she just saw what needed to be done to stop Pan's curse. That made Hanna really worry now about what Regina was going to have to do to break the curse. It must be pretty bad if it made her collapse like that.

"Mom, are you going to be okay?" Henry asked with concern.

"The important thing is you will be," Regina told him.

Just as Regina finished her sentence the scroll disappeared from her hands and everyone looked up to see Pan standing right in front of them. Hanna gasped and quickly latched onto her father, who instinctively wrapped his strong arms around her. She clung tightly to him as she watched Pan wave his hand, freezing them all into place. He started talking, but Hanna just tried not to listen to what he was saying. She remembered what happened last time she listened to what he had to say. It didn't take long before he had her believing that her mom and dad didn't love her and didn't really want her. Hanna knew none of that was actually true, but she still reused to listen to anything he was saying. She wanted to bury her face into her dad's jacket, but she couldn't move.

Before Pan could really say too much, Hanna saw Gold come up from behind him.

Hanna listened as he told Pan that he had a job to finish and what needs to be done has a price—a price he was finally willing to pay. Hanna watched as the shadow came when Gold held up his hand,giving him his dagger. Gold grabbed a hold of Pan and stabbed him, along with himself, using the dagger. There was a bright light and they both disappeared, leaving only the scroll behind.

Even though Pan was seemingly gone, although he had been "gone" before but he kept coming back and Hanna wasn't sure she fully believed that was gone for good this time, the curse was still coming. Regina says she can still stop it though.

"What's the price?" Emma asked. "Gold said there was a price."

"It's not our price. It's mine," Regina told her.

She continued to explain what she felt when she touched it, why she fell to the ground. She had to say goodbye to thing she loved most.

Henry, Hanna thought. That was the thing Regina loved more than anything. What did that mean though, for Henry? Would he be okay? Hanna didn't know what to think. She just tried to keep listening to what Regina was telling them.

Regina explained that she has to undo the curse that created Storybrooke. She says that it will be as if it were never here. Everyone will go back to where they came from. Everyone will be taken back to the Enchanted Forest, except for Henry. He will stay here because he was born here.

"But he'll be alone!" Hanna exclaimed when she realized what Regina was saying. Everyone else was born in the Enchanted Forest, including herself and Emma. They would have to go back too, leaving Henry all by himself.

"Regina we can't just…" Emma started to say, not accepting the fact that she would have to leave her son here all alone.

"No, you will take him, because you're the savior," Regina assures her. Emma can escape the curse just like she did before when she was a baby.

Emma doesn't like that option she wants her and Henry to both go back with everyone, but Regina insists that isn't possible. Regina can't be with Henry. She has to pay the price or none of it will work.

"Emma you have to go!" Snow tells her daughter. Hanna looks up at her mom and sees the tears welling up in her eyes.

"I..I just found you," Emma says, still refusing to accept this.

"And now it's time for you to leave us again. For your best chance, for his."

"No…I…I'm not…done. I'm the savior, right? I'm suppose to bring back the happy endings. That's what Henry always said."

"Happy ending aren't always what we think they'll be."

"But we're a family."

"Yes, and we always will be. You gave us that," Snow told her daughter. She and Charming both continued to convince Emma that everything will be okay and that she can do this. There is no choice…they have to go. Hanna couldn't believe what she was hearing. This can't be happening. After everything their family had been through and now it all comes down to this. They are going to be separated again. That didn't sound like any kind of happy ending to her.

Everyone made their way to the town line to say their final goodbyes. Hanna walked over to Henry, and the fact that she would never see him again was becoming more real. She was going back to the Enchanted Forest, a place she had spent just a few minutes before the curse swept them all away. She couldn't believe this was happening. Henry was her best friend. He was the little boy that spilled red paint all over her picture, then spent the whole night drawing her a new one. She never forgot that or any of the other things he had done for her over the years. She would miss hanging out at the diner with him, drinking hot chocolate and beating him at darts. She would even miss going to the arcade with him, even if he did always beat her at the video games. She would miss hanging out at his castle and talking for hours on end.

"Henry I…" Hanna started to say as the tears began to fall down her cheeks.

"Hanna it's going to be okay," Henry assured her.

"Henry. It's not. What am I going to do without you?" Hanna said as she wiped her tears with the back of her sleeve.

"You're going to have fun over there. You'll get to ride horses, sword fight, shoot bow and arrows, and all kinds of fun stuff."

"It won't be fun without you," Hanna said as she wrapped her arms around him, giving him a hug.

"I wish I was going with you," Henry said sadly as he hugged Hanna back. He wanted to go with them more than anything. He didn't want to leave his best friend. He wanted to learn how to sword fight with her and ride through the forest on a horse. He knew they would probably find lots of ways to get into mischief over there. It would of been great.

"I love you Henry," Hanna said as she continued to hug him tightly.

"I love you too," he told her.

After saying goodbye to Henry, Hanna lifted her head to find her sister. She wanted to say goodbye to her too. She slowly walked over and looked up at her, trying to hold back the tears.

Emma looked down at her little sister, seeing the tears brimming her eyes. She could feel the tears in her eyes coming too. She didn't know what to say, she just pulled her close and wrapped her arms tightly around her, giving in and letting the tears fall.

"I'm going to miss having a sister," Hanna said as she held on tight to Emma.

"Hey, we will always be sisters," Emma said as she pulled back and looked down at her. "Don't forget that, okay?"

Hanna just nodded her head. She was really going to miss Emma. She would miss their dinners together at Granny's and all of the little adventures they had in Storybrooke.

"I love you Han," Emma told her little sister with a smile.

"I love you too," Hanna said as she tried to put on a smile for her sister. She still couldn't believe this was happening.

"There are my girls," Charming said with a sad smile as he came up and wrapped his arms around them, holding them close. He knew he would never get the chance to hold them both like this again.

Snow sighed as she watch her true love with their two perfect daughter's. After everything they went through to be a family, now their chance was being taken away from them again. She still didn't want to believe this was happening. She wanted to cling onto that last bit of hope and believe that something would change…that they would find a different way to stop Pan's curse. She knew that wasn't the case though. She knew she had to be strong for her family. She knew Emma was going to have doubts about all of this. She had to assure her daughter that she could do this, that everything would be alright. She knew her youngest daughter would be going through a lot as well in the months to come. She was losing her best friend and sister all in one day. She had to be strong for her baby and help her through the tough times that would lie ahead. She knew her husband's heart would break when he had to leave his daughter for the second time in her life. She would have to be there for him to…they would be there for each other. She put on a smile and walked over to her little family, wrapping her arms around her daughters, just like Charming. This was the last time they would get to be with both of their daughters, and she would cherish every second of it.

Once all of the final goodbyes were said, Hanna stood with her parents as Emma and Henry made their way to Emma's car. Emma stopped, just before getting to her car and turned around. As Hanna clung tightly to her dad and silently sobbed, she watched her mom walked over to Emma. She held Emma's face in her hands, and placed a kiss on her forehead. A kiss that told Emma she could do this and her and Henry would be just fine.

Snow walked back over and Hanna looked up at her with a tear stained face. Snow gave her little girl a reassuring smile and gently wiped the tears away. She wrapped her arms around Hanna, and they all watched Emma and Henry drive away as they became surrounded by the purple smoke.
