In Storybrooke, Melody began to look hopeful and excited as she, Audrey, Piper, and Ben were waiting by the docks together. Ben was even carrying Oliver in his arms as they waited in high anticipation as they stood on the town harbor together.

"Oh, this is so exciting," Melody beamed. "I'm so excited. Can you tell I'm excited? Because I'm excited. This is just so..." she then began to pause thoughtfully, trying to find the right word.

"Exciting?" Piper guessed.

"Yeah! Exactly!" Melody nodded.

"Oh, I don't blame you, Melody," Ben smiled at his old friend. "This is gonna be very good for you, I just know it."

"I just hope we can do the same for me some time." Audrey said thoughtfully.

"We will, Audrey, eventually," Ben reassured his girlfriend. "We're all gonna get a chance at a happy ending for a bright new future in Storybrooke, especially after my dad comes back home."

"I thought your dad said he wasn't coming back though?" Piper spoke up curiously.

"He will be back, I just know it," Ben insisted as he gently pet his kitten. "Won't he, Oliver?" he then smiled down at his kitten.

Oliver mewed and purred in response.

"Oh! Look, here they come." Melody pointed out.

"So if the name Rumple gave you is correct, he works here," Belle informed Ariel before looking over. "Hello there, children." she then greeted the teenagers.

"Hello, Ms. French./Mom." The teenagers greeted innocently.

"It's really great to see you again." Melody beamed as she rushed over and hugged her long-lost mother.

"It's good to see you too, my little mermaid," Ariel smiled as she hugged her daughter back. "Belle mentioned something about a special surprise."

"Yep, that's right, and it's right here," Ben nodded and pointed out. "Or should I say 'he's right here'?"

They all soon stopped near the harbor where a fisherman was busily working. He did not notice the two women and teenagers standing nearby. Ariel smiled upon recognizing the man.

"Is that him?" Belle asked Ariel hopefully. "Is that Eric?"

"Yes." Ariel nodded eagerly once she saw this was the man she had been looking for.

"All you wanna do is be part of his world." Melody softly said to her mother.

"And yours too, of course, my dear," Ariel smiled warmly. "Let's go see your father, huh?"

"I'd like that, Mom." Melody nodded in agreement.

"Well, go on ahead then," Audrey told the mother-and-daughter duo. "He's waiting for you guys."

The fisherman, Eric, suddenly hacked his cleaver into a fish; severing its head.

Ariel looked downcast while Belle appeared to be amused. "Wow. He must really hate me." The redheaded woman gulped nervously.

"Go on, go to him." Piper urged the former mermaid.

Ariel sighed before smiling in nervousness.

Belle then decided to take that chance to physically push her towards him. "Go on." she then urged quietly.

Ariel soon approached Eric who then finally glanced up and was stunned to see her.

"Dad? It's Mom... Do you recognize her?" Melody gently spoke to her father.

"...How could I forget my one true love next to my beautiful girl?" Eric smiled softly at Melody before looking over at her mother. "Ariel."

"Eric." Ariel smiled back at him.

Eric then took off his work suit and walked up to her. The two of them soon kissed passionately. Melody beamed as she stood between her parents, looking very happy about their reunion.

"Maybe I should play some music to celebrate." Piper suggested.

"That would be nice." Ben nodded at him.

Belle looked on, pleased with Ariel and Eric, when she heard a strange noise in the air. Oliver stirred and shook a little in Ben's hold.

"W-What is it, boy?" Ben softly asked his kitten as he looked around too before looking up in the sky along with his mother as well as Audrey and Piper.

In awe, Belle watched with them in awe as a flying ship began to poke out of the clouds. Ariel and Eric then broke apart to stare up at the ship as well as they stood with Melody in between both of them.

"What's that?" Ariel wondered.

"It's a flying pirate ship." Melody pointed out to her mother.

The ship then rapidly plunged down. It breached past the barrier surrounding the town.

"He's back." Belle whispered and smiled.

"I knew he would be back." Ben added gleefully to his mother.

Oliver even seemed to be smiling as the ship was soon docking at the harbor.

As the ship's walkway was pulled down to allow the passengers to descend to the dock, the cheering voices from the townspeople could be heard. Henry stepped onto the walkway first, pausing as he took in everything, and then proceeded to get off the ship. Behind him, Emma, Mary Margaret, Evie, Dee Dee, and David followed suit. Archie and Granny were among some of the familiar faces who welcomed their return as Kiara and Ruby stood together.

"Yes! They're back! Emma! Oh! Snow! All right!" Leroy cheered.

"And look at who else we have here." Nova pointed out to Leroy.

"Hey, there she is!" Leroy smiled proudly once he saw the pigtailed girl they were waiting for.

"Papa Leroy! Mama Nova!" Dee Dee beamed as she rushed over and hugged her new parental figures.

Granny smiled warmly as she gave Henry a hug before going to Emma next.

"How was Neverland, huh?" Nova asked Dee Dee.

"Well, I decided that Neverland is pretty good for a visit, but I wouldn't wanna actually live there." Dee Dee said with a small smile.

"Oh, kid... You don't know how much we've missed you." Leroy told Dee Dee warmly as he stood with the rest of the dwarves, including Ebony.

"Oh, I missed you guys absolutely so much too." Dee Dee softly replied as she beamed at Leroy and Nova, as well as the rest of the dwarves since they were now part of her family.

Next to leave the ship was Regina, Evie, then Rumple, who caught the gazes of Belle and Ben. At the dock, Mary Margaret was pleasantly surprised to see Ariel. They then shared a hug. Mary Margaret beams at the sight of Eric and Melody as it looked like Ariel was going to live happily ever after now. Jay and Carlos soon began to help Enid and Carla off of the gangplank next.

"Oh, it's good to see you kids back too." Mother Superior smiled warmly once she saw the teenagers.

"Hi, uh, Mother Superior?" Carlos greeted softly. "Is Jane here?"

"Carlos!" Jane beamed as she came by suddenly with a certain dog by her side.

"Jane!" Carlos smiled at the girl.

"How are you doing? I was worried I'd probably never see you again." Jane beamed as she hugged Carlos right away.

Carlos blinked with wide eyes and blushed in her hug as Carla giggled a little at his reaction. "Oh, God. I missed you so much." he then whispered warmly while holding onto her in the hug.

Dude barked and jumped all around suddenly.

"Well, there's one person here who's missed you even more than we have." Jane giggled as she got out of the hug.

"I think I might know who." Carlos smiled as he looked down.

Dude then jumped over, tackling Carlos down to the ground and began to lick his freckled face.

Carlos laughed while holding Dude. "Okay, boy. Okay... I missed you too." he then said, beaming at his new pet.

Nearby, Regina was standing alone with a dejected expression on her face.

"How does it feel to finally be home?" Emma smiled warmly at Henry.

"Better than I ever imagined." Henry smiled back.

Soon, Felix and the other Lost Boys descended from the ship. Goldie offered to let Koda walk with the other Lost Boys, but he felt too clingy around her to be separated from her, so she just decided to hold his hand and come down with him once they were finally back in Storybrooke. Belle and Rumple were now sharing an affectionate embrace.

"I told you I'd see you again." Belle smiled warmly.

"That's the last time I don't listen to you." Rumple smiled back.

"Brr... It sure is cold out here away from the hug." Ben said playfully.

"Benjamin..." Rumple smiled as he brought his teenage son in for a hug as well. "I trust you were a mature and responsible young man while I was gone?"

"Definitely, Dad," Ben reassured his father. "Oliver was too."

Oliver mewed in response as though to agree with him.

"See? He thinks so too." Ben chuckled and smiled.

Belle and Rumple smiled back at their son in amusement.

"Hey." Neal said as he soon came over to his family.

"Hey," Belle smiled as she patted him on the back in comfort. "Welcome back."

"Thank you." Neal nodded at her.

"Welcome back home, Big Bro." Ben said as he held out his hand to shake hands with his adult half-brother.

"Oh, Ben? Didn't anyone tell you?" Neal replied. "Brothers don't shake hands. Brothers gotta hug~" he then said before he brought the teenage boy into a hug suddenly.

Ben grunted because of how sudden the hug was before laughing as he hugged his brother back. The two then split up from the hug and smiled at each other before Neal took something out.

"Is that Dad's cane?" Ben asked as he pointed it out.

"Yeah," Neal nodded as he soon showed them the cane. "I, uh, I found this below deck. Thought you might need it." he then told their father.

"Thank you, Bae, I do," Rumple replied as he accepted the cane. "As a reminder of the man I was, which shall no longer be." he then added.

The four of them huddled together happily as Oliver came by their feet to join in on the hug. Regina, still alone, studied them. The Lost Boys were continuing to leave the ship. In the crowd, two certain men were waiting for a certain passenger. From the ship walkway, Wendy was the last to step off. Her eyes searched the crowd for certain people, though she didn't seem to see them, but they spotted her immediately.

"Wendy!" Michael called out.

Wendy looked over and beamed as she soon regrouped with her formerly younger brothers since she hadn't aged in over a century even though they had because of the deal they made with Peter Pan. "Michael! John!" she then beamed as she hugged her brothers who were now adult men. "Is it really you?" she then asked.

"You have no idea how long we've been waiting to see you." John warmly told Wendy.

Neal soon approached them which went noticed by Wendy.

"Do you remember Baelfire?" Wendy asked her brothers before they let Neal join in on the hug.

Goldie looked soft and happy for the Darling siblings as she was still holding Koda's hand who began to look emotional. "You okay, kid?" she then asked softly.

"I remember... I remember something... The truth..." Koda said softly.

"Which truth?" Goldie asked curiously.

"How I ended up in Neverland..." Koda said softly as he looked down a bit sadly and distantly, though he glanced up to look into the woman's eyes. "The truth is, I got separated from my mom."

"Oh, you poor thing... I know how you feel..." Goldie replied gently as she looked down at him calmly. "I got separated from my brother a very long time ago and I would give anything to see him again. We're the only family we have left since we lost our parents when we were about your age."

"I guess we're quite a pair, huh?" Koda asked.

"Yes, but it'll be okay," Goldie reassured him as she bent down and picked him up to hug him softly and gently. "We can have each other until we find a way to find our own happy endings, kid and I'll make sure you're never alone again."

"Even if I lost my mom and you lost your brother?" Koda asked.

"Even then, kid," Goldie nodded as she gently patted him on the back. "We'll figure out something to do with you after we get settled back into Storybrooke. After all, Neal led me here for my own chance of escape." she then added with a small look at Neal.

Neal soon looked at the Darling siblings. "So, now what?" he then asked.

"I think it's time for the Darlings to go home," John replied softly. "All of us."

Wendy looked very hopeful and excited about that news.

David and Mary Margaret were soon surrounded by the rest of the townspeople.

"How do you feel?" Mary Margaret asked.

"Pretty good, actually," David nodded. "I think the water must be working."

"Aye, it is," Killian confirmed as he stepped by. "Dreamshade overtook my brother the moment we left Neverland."

"Gold will find a cure. You'll be okay." Mary Margaret reassured her husband.

"I have to admit, there was a minute there I didn't believe we were all going to make it out of that place." Emma said as she came to her parents.

"Well, we did." David reassured their daughter.

Mary Margaret was soon hugged by Ebony who was purring in the hug until the short-haired woman spotted Regina, eyes downcast, standing all by herself. "And we owe a lot of it to her. Regina helped save us all." she soon said aloud to give Regina the recognition that she deserved.

The townspeople murmured in astonishment. Regina looked equally surprised at Mary Margaret's open praise.

"Way to go, Mom." Evie smiled at her mother.

"Thank you, my dear." Regina smiled back fondly at her daughter.

"I'm sure Dad would be very proud." Evie then said softly.

Regina sniffled at that before nodding in agreement.

"I know... I miss him too." Evie gently said to her mother.

Regina smiled as she wiped one of her eyes. Soon, everyone began to look at the darkened pirate ship sail curiously due to Peter Pan's shadow being trapped in it.

"So what about that shadow?" Harry asked nervously as they studied the black sail.

"Don't worry, it's trapped. Just as it was in the candle. The only person that can free it is safely in here." Rumple reassured the pirate teen as he glanced down at Pandora's box.

Henry soon seemed to be going over beside Felix while Kovu looked around before running into Kiara who giggled at him. Granny and Ruby suddenly began to look overprotective of Kiara as she got too close to Kovu.

"Hey, Mom, Dad!" Henry soon called out aloud as he stood next to the rather tall boy of The Lost Boys.

Henry's family members soon walked over.

"Henry's right," Regina spoke up. "We can't just let Felix walk away free."

"You sure? He seems more like a yes man to me than anything dangerous." Evie commented.

"We can't be too careful since he was the closest one to Pan." Regina advised her daughter.

"Don't worry, we got plenty of cell space for this guy." David said before he soon led Felix away firmly.

Wendy looked soft as she watched Felix being treated in such a way as she looked thoughtful and decided to talk with her brothers about something before they would leave Storybrooke for a better new life together with just the three of them.

"You're safe now, Henry." Emma reassured her son.

"But just to make sure, we should probably make a stop at my dad's first." Ben advised.

"Yes, Ben. I think that's a good idea." Emma agreed with him.

And so, they went to the pawnshop together. As Belle, Emma, Henry, Neal, Regina, Goldie, Koda, Evie, Carla, Carlos, Enid, Jay, Lonnie, and Ben looked on, Rumple placed Pandora's box in a hiding spot in the floor.

"Once I seal the box in here, no one can break the spell but me." Rumple told the others as he cast magic on the hiding spot and it gave off a golden shine.

"You're not going to do that?" Henry asked his paternal grandfather.

"Believe me, I want Pan trapped as much as you." Rumple replied.

"Don't worry, Henry." Emma soothed.

"He's not getting out of there." Neal added.

"We won't let anything happen to you again, I promise." Regina said softly as Evie nodded, agreeing eagerly.

"She's right. You needn't worry," Rumple promised his grandson. "As long as I'm alive, that boy will never see the light of day."

Henry looked thoughtful in response and seemed to look secretly crafty that no one else really noticed. What the others didn't realize was that one last thing happened in Neverland before they left for good, but they would find out later in a very unexpected way.

Later on, everyone began to get settled back into Storybrooke. Rumple was even getting dressed in his best Mr. Gold suit and tie much to Belle's warm relief.

"There. Perfect." Belle smiled as she helped Rumple into his tie.

"Every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed men." Ben remarked.

"Thank you." Rumple chuckled warmly to both his teenage son and true love.

"And you're welcome." Belle nodded.

"So... what now?" Audrey asked. "What happens after Neverland?"

"Well, that's a question I haven't had to ask myself," Rumple replied as he grasped Audrey's hand. "I didn't think I had a future."

"But you do, Dad." Ben insisted.

"Our son is right," Belle agreed. "The boy wasn't your undoing. And neither was Pan. So now you can stop worrying about prophecies and start thinking about your future. There's endless possibilities; countless paths to take." she then advised warmly.

"But there's only one of those paths I'm interested in." Rumple then said thoughtfully.

"Which one is that?" Belle asked curiously.

"The one where you and I are together." Rumple told her with a warm smile.

Belle smiled back at him before they soon shared a kiss with each other. Ben and Audrey also smiled until Ben blinked and took out his cell phone with a small smile.

"What is it, Ben?" Audrey asked her boyfriend.

"It's Kiara," Ben replied as he looked at his phone. "There's a party going on at Granny's to welcome you guys back from Neverland." he then informed his father.

"Well, if you two would like to go now, that would be nice for you," Rumple advised his teenage son. "We'll probably come along shortly."

"Are you two gonna have your own private welcome home party here?" Audrey guessed with a sly smirk and eyebrow raise.

"You could say that~" Belle giggled warmly. "But some things are just for between adults and no children allowed."

"We're not children. We're teenagers." Ben clarified with a smirk.

"Even so, perhaps you should go to the party without us, at least for now," Rumple advised the two teenagers. "Your mother and I have some catching up to do, Benjamin, but we'll have plenty of time for family bonding later."

"All right... We'll see ya later then," Ben nodded. "Don't worry though, I won't miss my curfew."

"You never do," Rumple replied. "You 'teenagers' go and have some fun."

Ben and Audrey smiled at each other and soon began to leave the pawnshop together so that Belle and Rumple could have some privacy.

"Now... where were we?" Rumple asked Belle with a small smirk.

"Oh, I think I remember~" Belle giggled as she smirked back before kissing him.

Rumple chuckled as he went over to the door and decided to switch his "Open" sign to "Closed" and he also locked it behind Ben and Audrey as they headed over to Granny's Diner together.

At Granny's Diner, a town celebration was going on.

Emma soon came in, carrying the Once Upon a Time storybook and set it down on a diner table in front of Henry who looked at it blankly. "Well, don't get too excited," she then said a bit sarcastically due to his lack of excitement. "Neal still had it in his room. We thought you'd want it. Especially since you just lived a fairy tale of your own."

Henry looked at her, unsure, and then smiled tentatively. "Right. Thanks." he then said before flipping it open.

Emma looked confused by his reaction. "You okay?" she then asked.

"Yeah. Why?" Henry nodded, though something seemed very different about him ever since the return from Neverland.

Emma decided not to answer, and then let the subject drop.

At the counter, Killian was staring at Emma as he sat beside the counter with Harry and Carla who were sharing a couple of drinks known as cream soda which Harry's father dubbed as "diet rum".

Neal, with a drink in hand, soon plopped down on the seat next to Killian away from Harry and Carla. "I don't think they serve rum at Granny's." he then said to the adult pirate.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to pursue the Lady Swan," Killian told him. "Besides, the only rum around here is diet rum for the kids."

Harry and Carla chuckled to each other as they clinked their bottles together and shared another drink with each other.

"Yeah, you're just here to throw back a few with the dwarves." Neal then said to Killian.

"I've made a decision when it comes to Emma," Killian said thoughtfully. "I'm gonna back off."

"Back off?" Neal asked.

"For the sake of the boy. Let his parents have a fair shot without a... devilishly handsome pirate standing in the way." Killian explained before gulping down his drink.

"You're serious?" Neal asked out of surprise.

"Yeah," Killian replied before smirking confidently. "I AM devilishly handsome. Where do you think Harry got his good looks from?" he then added.

"Thanks, man." Neal smirked softly before he took his own drink.

"Don't thank me yet. You see, I'm in this for the long haul," Killian then said to him. "You've already walked out on Emma once. Not so sure she'll let you back in."

Neal looked thoughtful about that before leaving the counter. Harry and Carla looked a bit curiously over before they looked back at each other with small smiles.

In another part of the diner, Mother Superior was happily chatting with Happy, Nova, and Leroy while Carlos was reuniting with Jane and Dude, even when Gil came by, eyeing Dude rather curiously and hopefully.

"He really missed you a lot," Jane said to Carlos. "I swear he was howling for you nearly every night."

"Poor Dude..." Carlos cooed as he pet his new dog calmly and carefully. "Who's a good boy, huh? Who's a good boy?"

Dude whined, though his tail wagged eagerly from Carlos' embrace. Carla looked a bit nervous and wary around Dude, almost similar to Carlos when he first met "the campus mutt" for the first time.

Mother Superior then glanced to the side, her smile faltering, upon seeing Regina accompanied by Tinkerbell. "Green." she then greeted the former pixie.

"Her name is Tinkerbell." Regina clarified, matter-of-factly.

"I know. I just didn't think I'd ever-" Mother Superior said and tried to explain.

"That you'd ever see me again? Likewise." Tinkerbell interrupted and replied.

"Give Tink her wings back." Regina soon demanded.

"In case you forgot, I don't take orders from you." Mother Superior retorted.

"She helped us. She's earned it," Regina retorted and defended. "She even got pixie dust to work again."

"Really? Let's see." Mother Superior soon replied.

"Well, briefly," Tinkerbell admitted as she fiddled with the vial of pixie dust. "I mean, it sort of glowed for a moment. It's not something I can do at a drop of a hat."

"Well, then, there's your problem." Mother Superior soon told Tinkerbell.

"What?" Tinkerbell frowned in response.

"You don't believe in yourself anymore," Mother Superior replied. "How can I believe in you if you can't even do that?" she then added, about to leave until Jane ran into her a bit. "Oh! Jane, my dear."

"Sorry, Mother Superior," Jane replied sheepishly. "I just wanted to see who this was, she seems familiar."

"Well, I guess you deserve a right to know, my dear," Mother Superior then said. "Green... Erm... Tinkerbell... This is Jane."

"Jane... That's a nice name." Tinkerbell remarked.

"Thank you... So you're Tinkerbell?" Jane asked as her eyes lit up.

"Yes... I take it that you've heard of me?" Tinkerbell asked with a small, boastful smirk.

"Yeah..." Jane beamed warmly.

"Jane is a ward of the church," Mother Superior informed Tinkerbell. "I look after her the most though, especially if something comes up when she's in school. I think she probably wants to talk to you at least." she then added.

"Um... Wow... Tinkerbell... You rock! Okay? I'm a big fan..." Jane smiled sheepishly. "I'm trying to be a fairy like the other nuns too... Except for Sister Astrid who decided to be Nova again and she moved in with Leroy Pintel and they adopted that girl Dee Dee as their daughter, it sounds like a lot of fun anyway! Mother Superior gives me a lot of tough love, ya know? 'Work on the inside, not the outside'. You know, that sorta thing..." she then began to gush and ramble on in excitement over meeting Tinkerbell.

"I need a drink." Tinkerbell murmured to Regina through her teeth as she grinned at Jane, trying to be friendly.

"I'm right behind ya." Regina murmured back before taking off suddenly.

"Don't leave me alone with her." Tinkerbell then begged, but Regina was already gone.

At the diner table, Henry was flipping through his storybook, though something seemed very odd and different about him. Emma and Neal were watching him from the counter. Goldie was on her way back from the bathroom before she saw Emma and Neal together and decided to listen in on them a little.

"How's he doing?" Neal soon asked.

"He's good as can be expected." Emma replied.

"So, uh, Emma, can we... make some time to... talk?" Neal asked, starting to sound funny.

"Isn't that what we are doing right now?" Emma asked out of amusement.

"Yeah, uh... I just thought," Neal replied before looking over at Henry and then back at Emma. "Maybe just the two of us." he then explained.

"Are you trying to ask me on a date?" Emma asked with a small smirk.

"You know, when you put it like that-"

"Neal, I don't know."

"Listen, Henry's back and he's safe. We all are. Okay, look, I'll make it easier for you. Tomorrow I'm gonna be hungry just around lunchtime and so I'm gonna come here," Neal told her in a soothing way and then pointed at a nearby table. "I'm gonna sit in that booth and you're welcome to join me. And if not, I'll quit bugging you." he then added with a shrug before walking away and going toward Henry.

Goldie glanced over before she began to look a little down in the dumps and held her hand over her chest before bowing her head. She began to go through slightly complicated feelings.

Behind Emma, her parents gave her knowing looks. "Don't say it." she then begged her parents.

"Say what?" Mary Margaret wondered.

"That I owe it to Neal to go on a date with him." Emma explained, feeling like it should have been obvious.

"You don't. You owe it to yourself." Mary Margaret replied.

"I can't think about myself right now; not after what Henry just went through." Emma sighed and shook her head before walking away from her parents.

David hid a small, knowing smirk as he looked at Mary Margaret. "Now who does she remind me of?" he then rhetorically asked.

Mary Margaret looked soft before smirking back a little.

Henry continued to flip through the pages of his book, seeing Snow White and Prince Charming on one page before turning to another one that showed Hansel and Gretel.

"Sorry, kid. It's time for something you didn't have in Neverland: bedtime." Emma said as she approached Henry.

Henry then closed the book and stood up from his seat.

"Oh, let's say good night to Regina and Evie." Emma then suggested before they walked over to Regina.

"Good night? I didn't realize it was getting so late," Regina replied before frowning as she looked down at the boy softly. "It's going to be hard to let you out of my sight."

"Maybe you don't have to," Henry spoke up. "Maybe I could stay with you tonight."

Regina blinked before smiling softly. "Oh. Of course." she then said.

"Yeah, uh, just call me tomorrow and let me know what time you want to pick you up." Emma then told Henry.

Henry nodded at that.

"We'll go once your sister comes back from powdering her nose." Regina told Henry as he nodded in response.

Nearby, Mary Margaret overheard the conversation. "It's okay. He probably just wants to spend his first night back in his old room." she then advised her daughter.

"Yeah, I'm sure that's it." Emma replied softly and curiously.

Meanwhile, Evie was just finishing up in the restroom and got a text from her mother saying that they were going to take Henry home tonight and it made her smile warmly because she was looking forward to spending some well-deserved quality time with her little brother, even if it was just to go to bed tonight. She then sent an 'OK, be right out' text to her mother before she washed her hands and was on her way out the door only to be confronted by... the son of a dwarf of all people.

"Doug?" Evie blinked as the teenage dwarf suddenly entered.

"I have a Campfire Boy badge and S'mores," Doug suddenly said and frowned, looking a bit dejected and frustrated. "How could you go camping without me?"

"What?" Evie asked out of confusion.

"Are you seeing someone else?" Doug then asked. "Are you?"

"No!" Evie insisted.

"Is it Happy's son?" Doug then continued to interrogate her. "'Cuz let me tell you, he's not as happy as his dad. Kind of a dark streak in him."

"Doug... Henry was kidnapped and taken to Neverland," Evie explained softly. "We rescued Henry and saved Storybrooke."

"So you're not seeing Happy's son or anyone else?" Doug then asked softly.

Smiling, Evie held his hands as she decided to put Dee Dee's words of Doug having feelings for her to the test to see if they could have a relationship, especially with how jealous he just acted. "Don't be dopey," she then told him softly before she leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek. "Besides, I'd love to stay and chat some more, but I have a little brother to help put to bed. And you know what?" she then looked into his eyes. "I was lucky enough to be given a chance as the descendant of Evil Queens, my mother being Regina and my grandmother being The Queen of Hearts in Wonderland and now I need to give someone else a chance too."

Doug smiled hopefully. "My Uncle Bashful used to say that." he then said to her.

"Did he?" Evie smirked out of amusement.

"Yeah," Doug nodded. "But really, really quietly."

Evie laughed at that. "Maybe when I don't have to look after Henry one night, we could see a movie together and get some pizza?" she then suggested. "It'll be like a little date."

Doug blinked and chuckled sheepishly at that offer. "I think I would be honored... Princess Evie~" he then said.

"We'll see what we can do... Lord Doug~" Evie replied and winked at him. "Excuse me, I better go see my mom and Henry now."

"A-All right... I'll see ya later... I love you, Evie!" Doug said, waving at her before he cupped his mouth and turned bright red in the face. "Why did I say that for?!" he then complained to himself.

Evie blushed at what Doug said, but decided not to say anything about it that might embarrass him as she came to join Regina and Henry for the night as they left the diner as a family.

That night at the Mills' mansion, Henry was looking through the storybook again, almost like he was studying it. He found The Dark Curse overtaking The Enchanted Forest and even saw Regina as The Evil Queen standing in front of her vault before looking all around his bedroom almost like he was looking at it with fresh eyes somehow.

"Lights out, young man." Regina soon told the boy.

"Mom. Your vault. Did you bring that over with you?" Henry asked before sitting down on the bed.

"Yes, Henry, you know that." Regina nodded, looking at him curiously.

"With all your magic?" Henry then asked.

"Why are you asking all these questions?" Regina asked him out of suspicion as she folded her arms.

"Because I might need that stuff to protect myself from Pan." Henry defended.

"Oh, honey, he can't hurt you," Regina reminded warmly. "He's locked up in Gold's shop."

"But what if he gets out?" Henry then asked cautiously. "What if... he finds a way to come after me?"

"Henry, magic isn't the answer." Evie said as she came into her little brother's room.

"Your big sister is right," Regina agreed as she sat on the bed and closed the Once Upon a Time book. "My vault is sealed shut for a reason. It's dangerous. I'll protect you. No matter what," she then added and smiled before setting aside the storybook. "Now, it's time for you to go bed. Good night." she then concluded as she tucked him into bed and kissed him good night.

"Sweet dreams, kid." Evie added as she flicked off the light and was about to leave.

"One more thing." Henry suddenly said.

"Excuse me?" Evie then asked.

"Could you sing to me?" Henry asked hopefully.

"Ohh... You want a lullaby?" Evie then asked.

"Yeah..." Henry nodded.

"Of course, Henry..." Evie smiled softly before she looked over. "I'll take it from here, Mom." she then added.

"All right, you get some rest too, Evie," Regina nodded. "We all had a rather exhausting adventure away from home."

"Night, Mom."

"Good night, my dear."

Evie smiled and she soon turned back to Henry and stroked his hair as she began to sing him the song she sang to him when he had his heart taken out and was unresponsive. She thought it would be nice and helpful and bring him a great deal of comfort. "Sweet dreams, my little prince brother." she then whispered before kissing his forehead, turned out the light, and left the room as she closed the door behind her.

Henry closed his eyes for a moment and once Evie was heard going back into her bedroom, he then opened one eye. Once the coast was clear, he hopped out of bed and came to the window, pulling aside the curtains before sticking his head out the window, having a rather devious smile on his face. "They're wrong. Magic is the answer. It's time~" he then said darkly.

At the town harbor, Peter Pan's shadow was soon released from the sail by Pan and then took off to fly through the empty streets of Storybrooke. Dee Dee grunted a little in her bed as she tossed and turned, starting to feel like something was wrong that night in Storybrooke after the journey to Neverland.

However, back in Mermaid Lagoon, Magda sat on a rock and stared at the moon in the distance. She then looked down and saw a bottle floating over to her. She then reached down and opened the bottle before finding a message inside it that caused her to smirk darkly. "Pan's message has been received... now to spread the word to my Siren sisters and we won't let Neverland or Atlantis die in vain." she then cackled wickedly to herself as she brought out her trident and zapped it into the ocean, causing it to have a rather unholy glow before she dove back under the sea herself.
