When a new day started in Neverland David, Emma, Killian, Evie, Harry, Carla, Dee Dee, Samantha, and Mary Margaret continued to range the woods searching for Henry as they walked single file with Mary Margaret leading the way.

David soon began to pant after a while. "Hey, need a break?" he then asked his wife.

"No, I'm good." Mary Margaret assured.

"In this heat, you shouldn't overtax yourself." David advised.

"Oh, so you need a break." Mary Margaret grinned.

"No, I'm good." David reassured.

"'David Nolan' let himself go?" Mary Margaret teased.

"Does he look like he'd let himself go?" David replied.

"How much further?" Regina asked as she was then looking around.

"I hope not too far." Dee Dee said as she stopped briefly and took off her shoe, feeling an achy pain in her foot suddenly.

"Tell me about it," Evie groaned slightly. "I think I ran fewer laps in Gym Class."

"You're walking a bit further than the same four walls back and forth, Princess." Harry chuckled softly.

"We should be getting close to Pan's lair, " Emma said, stopping a moment. "Going in a straight line course..." she trailed off and looked at the map and frowned. "Son of a bitch! How is it now behind us?" she cursed and asked.

Mary Margaret looked over. "How can that be?" she asked.

"It's behind us?" Dee Dee asked out of confusion.

"That doesn't make any sense." Evie frowned.

"You got us lost." Regina complained to Emma.

"No, she didn't. It's the camp," Killian retorted as he held up a lamp against the map. "Pan's moving it."

"He always does this." Harry memorized with a sigh.

"He's playing tricks with us." David groaned.

"If Pan's camp keeps moving how are we ever gonna find Henry?" Emma asked.

"We don't," Samantha sulked. "We give up."

"Miss Smee, you know better than that." Killian told his best mate's sister.

Samantha shrugged bashfully in response. "My brother tried to help you before and look at what happened to him." she then reminded.

"We will find them, we don't give up hope." Mary Margaret said firmly.

"I believe I suggested that we should abandon all hope as we enter here." Harry remarked.

"The minute you lose hope, the minute you lose everything." David tried to help.

"So, this whole trek has been for nothing?" Emma asked, sounding a bit annoyed over the camp moving.

"I told you walking was idiotic," Regina soon scoffed out of slight annoyance. "If I can just use some magic, we can materialize in the camp and grab Henry."

"I think my mom is right... Even if she wasn't exactly nice about it." Evie added.

"We don't know where the camp is," Mary Margaret reminded. "Have you even been listening?" she then added.

"No, that won't do anyone any good," Harry spoke up knowingly. "Pan will have shields against magic."

"Harry's right," Killian agreed with his son. "Such an attempt would end in your death, and more importantly, mine, which is why we're walking."

"Captain, do you maybe have any other ideas?" Carla asked the adult pirate. "I'd help out, but I'm too worried about getting in trouble with him or the other mermaids."

"Oh, brother." Regina rolled her eyes at that.

"By using someone he trusts." Killian replied.

"Who? Because I guess he certainly doesn't trust you." David wondered.

"A fairy who lived here when I was about. She might still be on the island," Killian explained once he knew who could probably help. "She'd be an inside source, knows all about the camp, can get us in. She might even have some pixie dust left. Perhaps we could fly in."

"You mean fairy dust." Emma corrected.

"No, pixie dust. It's stronger," David clarified. "Like nuclear fairy dust."

"We just need the help of a certain fairy." Harry nodded.

"I think I know where this is going," Evie spoke up. "Let me guess; her name is Tinkerbell, right?"

"I was thinking the same thing." Emma nodded to the blue-haired girl in heavy agreement.

"Do you know her?" Killian asked out of surprise.

"Every kid in the world knows her." Emma concluded.

"I'm more of a Sugarplum Fairy fan, but I know her too, especially from the movies." Dee Dee piped up.

Killian raised an eyebrow out of confusion.

"That's a bad idea." Regina declined quickly.

"What? Why, Mom?" Evie wondered.

"It's a long story, Evie," Regina told her daughter. "Mark my words. This Tinkerbell is not going to save us."

Emma looked curious.

"Excuse me a moment." Regina said before suddenly leaving.

"Uh... Okay then, Miss Mills...?" Dee Dee replied, sounding confused.

"Sounds like your mother has a story she's not telling us." Harry whispered to Evie.

"No kidding." Evie whispered back.

"Should we go after her?" Harry then asked.

"Hmm... We'll let her blow off some steam and catch up later," Evie suggested. "It's usually best to leave my mother alone whenever she needs a moment to herself."

"Well, we shouldn't leave her alone in a place like this for too long," Harry advised. "Especially with those Lost Boys or Peter Pan who could be anywhere or anytime at all."

Evie nodded at that as they decided to go and leave Regina alone for a little while.

After a little while had passed, Regina soon came over and caught up with the others. "Emma. There is another way." she then suddenly said.

"Is there?" Emma asked her.

"Magic." Regina clarified with a nod.

"Mom, I thought that we already talked this out?" Evie reminded.

"I'm not talking about my magic. I'm talking about ours." Regina soon clarified.

"I am not interested," Emma replied to Regina. "One thing I've learned is, it always comes with a price."

"Like what Mr. Gold says or as he was Rumplestiltskin in Henry's storybook." Evie added.

"Sometimes not using it comes with a price too," Regina retorted. "I bet you and I combined are strong enough to overpower Pan." she then added.

What if we're not? I'm not taking a chance on that," Emma told her. "We're talking about Henry's life."

"I'm aware of that." Regina replied softly.

"Mom..." Evie frowned in concern.

"Please." Regina insisted to both Emma and Evie.

"Look, I know you don't like this plan. Let's just see it through," Emma told her. "At least, we can see if we find... Tinkerbell."

"And you think it's the best plan because your boyfriend came up with it?" Regina huffed a bit in response.

"Mom!" Evie cried out and frowned.

"What's your problem?" Emma frowned, and then went off because the mention of boyfriends made her remember Neal.

"She just lost Neal." Mary Margaret tried to defend her daughter.

"Mom, that was really uncalled for." Evie scolded her mother.

"I'm sorry," Regina said softly. "I'm just worried about Henry."

"I'm worried about Henry too, but you don't see me putting others down." Evie replied assertively.

"Let's just all try to get along until we find them." Mary Margaret suggested.

"Friendship is magic." Dee Dee added.

"Dee Dee is absolutely right." Mary Margaret agreed.

Dee Dee beamed and grinned at that. Regina firmly pouted, scaring Dee Dee a bit.

"It's okay, Dee Dee," Evie soothed. "My mom can be intense sometimes, but she means well."

"Yeah, I guess so..." Dee Dee sighed and pouted in response. "I hope we find Henry soon... I don't want a new best friend."

"It'll be just fine, Dee Dee; I'm sure it will be," Evie said with a small smile. "And besides, Henry's my little brother and I promised that ever since he was a baby that I wouldn't let anything bad happen to him."

"I like that, Evie~" Dee Dee smiled back.

"Thanks, Dee Dee," Evie beamed warmly. "Now come along, let's keep going."

"Yes, Evie." Dee Dee nodded as they did just that.

Killian and David were talking with each other as Harry and Carla walked ahead of the two adult men to give them some more privacy. Harry was heard muttering and humming a little song to himself as they continued their hike through Neverland's jungle.

Carla slowly approached and then reached out to gently put a hand on his shoulder. "Harry?" she asked softly.

"Gah!" Harry let out a startled yelp as he stood up straight and looked like he was bracing himself for danger as he looked over. "Oh... It's you..." he then said softly. "...You should never sneak up on a professional pirate like that, ya know."

"Are you alright?" Carla asked him softly.

"Oh... Sure... I'm fine..." Harry smirked coolly as he tried to look cool and collective. "Why wouldn't I be okay? I'm just dandy!"

Carla came to his side and stood closer next to him. "It's alright not to be tough all the time..." she told him softly. She then took his hand softly. "If you need a shoulder to cry on, I won't tell anyone..." she said softly.

"...Really?" Harry asked softly.

Carla nodded and then sat down and looked up to him. "Come here." she said softly, and opened her arms.

Harry looked over before he looked a bit tearful before he soon grabbed Carla into the hug, sitting with her as he cried a bit. "I'm just so scared of this place!" he then admitted to her. "I tried so hard to impress Peter Pan when I was a wee boy, but he just kept teasing me and making fun of me and he even called me Codfish Jr!"

Carla rested her head on top of his and hugged him soothingly. "Well if you have to work that hard to try and get her to like you then it's not worth it... you deserve better than to be with someone who doesn't appreciate your talents the way you want them too," she then told him first softly. "Besides, you seem to have better new friends in this Storybrooke place like that Evie girl."

Harry glanced over tearfully once he let go and wiped his blue eyes a bit. "Really?" he then asked softly.

Carla gave a soft nod. "Really, already from what I've seen of you you're a very special guy," she told him softly. "You'll find someone who'll love you without the need to be impressed whether as a friend or a romantic partner." she assured him.

"...But isn't that what you girls like...?" Harry asked softly. "My old man has said that's how you win a girl's heart if you can't threaten her family the walk the plank. Next to exotic treasures and priceless gifts."

"Some girls like treasures and gifts, but most don't need them," Carla told him softly. "For example, I'd personally prefer just spending time with the guy I was with." she added.

"...You would...?" Harry asked softly from that.

Carla nodded with a small smile.

"Are you saying though that maybe I'm a fool for running away from home and getting mad at my dad?" Harry then asked as he pouted a bit.

"No, no... You were younger and you couldn't have known all of that was going to happen and besides, Peter Pan is silly for not appreciating you," Carla told him. "Besides, this is different now with your father with you and some friends by your side."

"I just tried my best... To impress everybody and be the brave, bold, and adventurous pirate my father was before me." Harry sighed as he stared at the ground.

"What makes you think that?" Carla asked, sounding genuinely curious as to why he thought that.

"That's just part of our story... I'm his descendant... And when I have my own son, it'll be the same thing," Harry then said. "We'll never get rid of Peter Pan and no one's gonna wanna join my own pirate crew anyway."

"Don't say that, Harry... Peter Pan might not wanna be your friend and I think Evie could be a friend of yours," Carla said softly as she gently ran her fingers through his brown hair soothingly, it was one thing she liked as it soothed her too. "I do think Evie might think of you as a friend and I would love to be your friend too if you would let me."

Harry looked down at her before cracking a small smile and he suddenly began to feel funny on the inside. "What is this warm feeling I have right now?" he then wondered.

Carla pondered a moment but as it was quite warm out she knew it wasn't temperature-wise. "Can you describe it?" She asked quietly.

"My insides just feel... Warm..." Harry replied as best as he could before he touched where his heart was on his chest. "Mostly around here."

"It could be because you have someone who's caring for and cares about you." Carla said softly as she toyed gently with the strands of his brown locks.

Harry looked bashful as he suddenly got quiet, though he seemed to like the comfort. "I like this feeling." he then said softly.

"I think I do too, Harry." Carla smiled.

"...You know, you're alright," Harry said with a small smirk. "For a trinket."

Carla gave a soft chuckle. "Surely I'm more than just a 'trinket'." she smirked slightly though it was still soft.

"Well, you're a treasure I found on my father's ship at least even though we believed you to be bad news at first." Harry smirked a bit.

Carla chuckled. "If you want to nickname me Trinket, that's fine." she then told him, hiding her blush in his hair at the fact he called her a treasure too.

"Heh... That sounds good to me~" Harry chuckled back at her.

"Harry... I have a question though..." Carla started to say.

"All right, I suppose I should've seen this coming..." Harry sighed before he pointed to his face a little. "Yes, this is guyliner I borrow my father. I thought it would help me look scary and brave like him, but it looks silly, doesn't it?"

"No, I wasn't going to ask that... And no, it doesn't look silly, I really think it suits you." Carla told him soothingly.

"Oh... Well... Thank you..." Harry smiled.

"Of course," Carla smiled back. "Harry, what was that song you were singing? I couldn't really understand the words."

"Oh... S-Song...?" Harry replied bashfully. "Oh, well... It's mostly from an old lullaby my father used to sing to me when he'd send me to bed in my hammock while we'd travel on The Seven Seas together. He calls it 'Never Smile at a Crocodile'."

"Oh... Could I hear a few bars?" Carla requested.

"Oh... It's not very good..." Harry chuckled self-consciously in response.

"No. Really. I-I would like to hear the song." Carla urged.

"Well... Okay..." Harry replied before he began to hum a quick beat to start out the song based on how his father used to sing him the song back when he was a little boy. "Never smile at a crocodile, No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile, Don't be taken in by his welcome grin, He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin, Never smile at a crocodile, Never tip your hat and stop to talk a while, Never run, walk away, say good night, not good day~"

Carla bobbed her head along as they soon continued their own walk while David and Killian talked about something dangerous that had happened during their hike through Neverland.

Meanwhile, Evie soon found her mother who had trailed very far behind the rest of the group. "Hey." she then greeted.

"Hey." Regina shrugged in response.

"You're falling behind, Emma sent me," Evie informed and explained. "Harry's dad thinks her place is right up ahead. Come on."

"Well, if she still lives there," Regina shrugged in response. "You go waste your time searching, and I'll wait."

Evie then looked thoughtful and curious. "Mom... No offense, but... Did something happen between you and Tinkerbell?" she soon asked.

"What? Why would you assume I did something?" Regina asked firmly.

"I didn't say that, but you've met her before, haven't you? In The Enchanted Forest?" Evie asked her mother. "What did you do? Kill her brother? Steal her halo?"

"She's not an angel," Regina rolled her eyes at that last question before she sighed and decided to be honest with her daughter. "Okay, we have a complicated history." she then admitted.

"I had a feeling." Evie nodded.

"You don't need to know all the details, but if she sees me she won't help," Regina then said. And if she's the way in, well then, trust me, my staying out of her sight is probably best for Operation: Henry."

"Operation: Henry?" Evie repeated curiously.

"That's what I've been calling it in my head because-" Regina admitted and explained.

"He'd call it that." Evie said knowingly.

"He'd have a better name, but, it's the best I can do." Regina nodded.

"Yeah, maybe like Operation: Nemo or something like that." Evie guessed.

"Yes, probably." Regina agreed.

"Okay. We'll get her and I'll come get you." Evie then suggested.

"No, don't bother. It's better if we never see one another," Regina disagreed. "And if you don't find her, keep going. Just get Henry. Don't worry about Tinkerbell."

"Mom... What happened?" Evie asked. "I'm your daughter, you should be able to tell me things now that I'm getting older. Your little girl is growing up after all."

Regina sighed and slightly shook her head. "I just did what I always do." she then said vaguely.

"Mom, I think I need to stay with you." Evie suggested.

"No, Evie, you wanted to go and help Henry with the others, so you should do that." Regina replied.

"Normally I'd do whatever you'd say, Mom, but I think this time's different," Eve shook her head. "Maybe I can help you talk to Tinkerbell and maybe even become friends. I know what something like that is like."

"How would you know?" Regina wondered.

"Because Ben Gold and I used to be the best of friends when we were little until we drifted apart and we made up again as teenagers," Evie reminded her mother. "And besides, what kind of daughter would I be if I didn't stick by my mother when she needs help the most?"

Regina smiled a little bit at that. "Don't say I didn't warn you, but... Thank you, Evie." she then said gently.

"Sure thing, Mom," Evie nodded as she sat down with her mother. "Let's try to catch a fairy."

Regina nodded to that as well before she looked at her daughter curiously. "So... Operation: Nemo?" she then asked.

"Yeah... Like Finding Nemo since Henry is your and Emma's lost son and we're looking for him... Either that or Operation: Clownfish." Evie explained before shrugging as she thought about what her brother would probably call their mission in Neverland.

"Ah, I remember now..." Regina nodded. "You kids really did love that movie."

"Yeah, but I don't think anyone loved it nearly as much as Melody," Evie chuckled in memory. "She was Storybrooke's own Little Mermaid."

Regina looked wide-eyed and concerned at the mention of The Little Mermaid, but tried not to make a big fuss over it as she smiled at her daughter. "So... Harry Hook..." she then started to say.

"What about him?" Evie asked curiously.

"Well?" Regina smirked as she leaned in.

"...Well, what?" Evie asked out of confusion.

"Do you think he's cute?" Regina then asked bluntly like a typical mother.

"MOM!" Evie cried out with wide eyes.

"Hey, I'm just asking. What? What'd I say?" Regina chuckled innocently.

Evie sighed and shook her head as they continued to wait for Tinkerbell to show up which would probably take a while.

"Boy, the thing I really miss about waiting, especially for a check-up from Dr. Whale or Dr. White is cell service." Evie sighed a bit as she decided to look into her handheld mirror.

Regina rolled her eyes and smirked just a little at that.

After a little longer of waiting, the mother and daughter could hear rustling and soon stood up together, looking ready to spring into action if they absolutely needed to do so. "Let's get this over with, shall we?" she then challenged.

Soon, a blonde-haired woman dressed in green emerged from the bushes.

"That's Tinkerbell? ...She seems a bit... Bigger than I expected." Evie remarked.

"Like I said, it's a long story." Regina told her daughter.

"A 'complicated history'. That's quite a diplomatic way of describing it." Tinkerbell scoffed at the former Evil Queen.

"You look terrible." Regina said as she examined the ex-fairy.

"You're trying to provoke me?" Tinkerbell challenged.

"Come on and get me, Tinkerbell." Regina retorted

"You think you're so smart, but you're all gonna fail." Tinkerbell taunted before she blew dust into Regina and Evie's faces suddenly before they could do anything to stop her.

"What... The heck... Was that...?" Evie murmured before she collapsed with her mother and the two were dead asleep.

Tinkerbell smirked at that and soon began to dispose of the mother and daughter duo for her own plans.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group soon found what looked like a treehouse that had a hammock in the corner.

"No one's home. Come on up." Killian told the others once he took a look for them after climbing up the ladder.

Soon, everyone else climbed up after Killian once he moved the lantern around, though Samantha stayed outside to make sure they weren't being followed.

"Where would it be?" David wondered as he began to look around for fairy dust.

"She won't leave dust just lying around, mate." Killian remarked.

"Maybe it's in diamonds that need to be crushed into fairy dust?" Dee Dee suggested. "Like when Papa Leroy and Mama Nova work together as dwarves and fairies?"

"No... I don't think it's that simple." Harry said as he looked around.

Killian looked around before sighing. "It's not here, I promise. I'm sorry." he then said.

"Dang it." Harry complained.

"It's pretty bare," Emma remarked once she took a look around. "Reminds me of someplace."

"Did you used to have a treehouse when you were a kid, Miss Emma?" Dee Dee wondered.

"Well, actually, I used to live in something like this," Emma explained thoughtfully. "That's it."

"Because it's just a place to sleep." Mary Margaret realized thoughtfully.

"What would you know about that?" Emma then asked her mother.

"I didn't always have a canopy bed in a palace," Mary Margaret explained. "I had a place like this, too. Once."

"You did?" Emma asked.

"A tree stump." Mary Margaret nodded truthfully.

"No way... Not Snow White..." Dee Dee commented.

"When I was running from the Queen. Believe it or not, I understand this Tinkerbell," Mary Margaret explained before looking curious. "The true question is: Why does she have a ladder? Fairies have wings." she then wondered.

"Good question." Harry commented.

"Guys, I've found something," David soon said as he brought out two certain items. "It's a handkerchief and a handheld mirror."

"Those are Regina and Evie's," Mary Margaret realized. "How did they get here?"

"She's been tracking us, watching Regina and probably took Evie too as leverage." Carla guessed as not even she knew.

"But, if she's been watching them-" Mary Margaret started to say.

"We're in the wrong place." Harry concluded.

"Regina and Evie..." David frowned in concern.

Meanwhile, in a cave, Regina and Evie soon woke up in a cave and found their wrists tied together before they saw someone looking down at them as they regained consciousness.

"About time you woke up," Tinkerbell greeted the two, though mostly Regina. "I've been looking forward to this chat for quite some time."

"Look, you don't know why we're here." Regina began to defend.

"Oh, I know exactly why you're here," Tinkerbell scoffed. "You're trying to find your son," she then looked over at Evie. "AKA your little brother."

"I take it by the restraints you're not helping?" Regina replied.

"Hell, no," Tinkerbell snorted. "You're the last person I'd ever help after how you burned me."

"Mom..." Evie muttered and frowned.

"Burned you?" Regina scoffed back at the former pixie. "You're the one who interfered in my life."

"And threw away my own in the process." Tinkerbell countered.

"So, what do you want from me? To kill me? You think it's that easy?" Regina challenged. "Whatever you knocked me and my innocent daughter out with I can tell it's not magic. Maybe poppies, but they're wearing off. And since you had to resort to that, it only means one thing. You don't have magic, but I do."

"Wait, poppies actually put you to sleep?" Evie asked before shrugging to herself before Regna broke the rope with her magic to free herself and her daughter. "I thought that was only in The Wizard of Oz movie."

"I don't recall us having that movie?" Regina commented as she faced her daughter.

"Ben used to have it," Evie smiled bashfully. "We usually watched it at sleepovers."

"Gotcha..." Regina nodded before facing Tinkerbell again who approached with an arrow in a deathly way.

"Yeah, I know, but even your magic can't stop this," Tinkerbell smirked at Regina as she held the arrow dangerously close to the dark-haired woman's neck. "Have you ever heard of Dreamshade?"

"Yes." Regina said calmly.

"Good." Tinkerbell grinned darkly in response.

"How the hell did you get like this?" Regina then asked, almost sounding broken inside.

"I met you," Tinkerbell retorted. "And probably even thanks to you, I never got to meet my daughter."

"Daughter?" Evie wondered to herself.

"You have a daughter?" Regina asked.

"You don't get to speak unless you understand the pain and anger you put me through, bitch." Tinkerbell sneered.

"Hey now, that is no way to talk," Evie frowned firmly. "Whatever my mother did I'm sure she's sorry about it and it will never happen again."

"So... Your daughter doesn't know the story, does she?" Tinkerbell asked with a small smirk.

"Leave my princess out of this." Regina demanded and glared.

"Why should I?" Tinkerbell glared back.

"From one mother to another and she's done nothing to you." Regia replied firmly.

"And besides, maybe I can help you find your daughter." Evie suggested.

"You? Find my daughter?" Tinkerbell asked Evie before laughing. "And just how do you expect to do that?"

"Evie, be careful." Regina advised her daughter.

"It's okay, Mom. I know what I'm doing." Evie defended softly.

"Let your spawn speak, Regina~" Tinkerbell told the woman firmly before facing the teenager with a malicious smirk on her face. "Tell me more, Evie... Or should I say Evil Princess Evie? How do you propose you find my daughter?"

"Where we come from, nearly every storybook character from The Enchanted Forest is in our home leading new lives and they even raised their descendants like me there and we're learning about our fairy tale legacies together." Evie explained calmly.

"And how does that help me?" Tinkerbell snorted in response at first.

"Well, some descendants are separated from their families," Evie explained. "My friend Melody's mother is missing and she never knew her father until after her 16th birthday, so who knows? Your daughter was probably separated from you too. Does she have any other family?" she then asked. "Do you maybe have any family we would probably know?"

"The only true family I have is Periwinkle and she's my sister," Tinkerbell explained. "My twin sister named Periwinkle."

"Fairies have twins?" Evie asked out of curiosity and interest.

"Yes, you see, because we were born from the same laugh." Tinkerbell confirmed with a nod.

"The same laugh?" Evie asked.

"I see your education from your home world is lacking." Tinkerbell remarked.

"Watch it, Fairy." Regina narrowed her eyes in warning.

"You watch it, Queenie," Tinkerbell retorted before she explained to Evie. "You see, most fairies, like pure-blooded fairies, are usually born when a baby laughs for the first time and unlike many other fairies, Peri and I were born from the same laugh."

"Oh... I see..." Evie remarked and nodded.

"But you see, my child was born uniquely in a different way..." Tinkerbell said before biting her lip.

"Her father is a human?" Regina guessed.

"No... Actually... He's a little below that..." Tinkerbell replied, admittingly sheepishly.

"...You didn't date a mouse like when Ruby Lucas dated Billy the mechanic, did you?" Evie asked.

"...I don't know who any of those people are." Tinkerbell replied, confused and disturbed.

"Oh, well, Ruby is Red Riding Hood and Billy was Cinderella's mouse friend-" Evie began to explain.

"Sorry, I don't really care, but... Let's just say my daughter's father was very different... Some say she was born from a flower garden like Thumbelina, but I wasn't able to be there for her after she was conceived," Tinkerbell then said since fairies procreated very differently than humans. "So I'm not sure how you'll be able to find my daughter or even know who she is."

"Well, I can at least try, can't I?" Evie defended. "Just let me try this for you, Tinkerbell. Just don't lose faith or hope." she then suggested warmly.

"All right, but I've got my eye on both of you." Tinkerbell replied warningly to both of the regal mother and daughter.

Regina rolled her eyes slightly at that. "Okay, you wanna kill me? I can make it easier." she then scoffed before ripping out her own darkening heart.

"Mom!" Evie gasped at that.

"Don't get involved, Evie," Regina told her daughter as she faced Tinkerbell who looked just as shocked at what had just happened. "You wanna kill me? Don't let the poison do it. You should do it. Go ahead. Crush it." she then challenged the former pixie.

"You think I won't take it?" Tinkerbell asked.

"No, I'm counting on it," Regina retorted. "Show me who you are, Tinkerbell."

Evie looked very worried and nervous.

Tinkerbell saw the look on Evie's face, but seemed to ignore the teenage girl's feelings right now. "Gladly," she then told Regina before suddenly squeezing the other woman's heart to add pressure and pain. "Do you know what you've cost me?" she then scowled at the former Evil Queen before turning her back on her and Evie.

Regina gasped once she saw something Tinkerbell didn't have what other fairies were known for having. "Your wings." she then realized.

"You lost your wings?" Evie asked Tinkerbell.

"Yes, because of her," Tinkerbell replied sternly as she pointed at Regina in blame. "Why?" she then demanded from the former Evil Queen.

"Why what?" Regina asked the pixie. "Why did I hand over my heart?"

"No. Why did you lie?" Tinkerbell clarified and snorted. "Because I've been over a million times and that spell worked. You never went in. It's the only explanation. Why couldn't you just go through that door and meet your soulmate? Was being happy such a terrible fate?" she then demanded.

"What are you talking about?" Evie wondered to herself.

"Yes. Yes, it was. You're right. I never went in. I was afraid. I didn't," Regina admitted to Tinkerbell. "You said I can let go of the anger that was weighing me down and suddenly it felt like without it, I would just flood away. That anger was all I had. What would I be without it?" she then added.

"Happy." Tinkerbell answered hopefully for Regina.

"Weak." Regina retorted as she shook her head.

"And look, what good it did you. The strength you gained," Tinkerbell countered. "Because I'm holding your heart in my hand and I'm not hearing one reason not to squeeze it into ash."

"All right, you want a reason? Here you go," Regina soon replied to Tinkerbell slowly and maturely. "You think I was afraid? You think I did the wrong thing? Well, Fairy, right now you're making the same choice. I picked revenge over hope and you're holding the result," she then forced Tinkerbell to take a closer look at the heart, which was almost completely blackened. "A small, hard, dark heart. If you make the same choice I did, then what you're looking at is your own future. I'm not gonna tell you what to do. The choice is yours. Kill me or act like the fairy you are. Especially from one mother to another."

"You said I was a terrible fairy." Tinkerbell reminded softly.

"Well then, prove me wrong. Pick hope over anger," Regina told the ex-fairy who looked at her and the heart back and forth, looking deep in thought. "Choose love and help me get my son back."

"...You love your son?" Tinkerbell soon asked softly.

"Very much. With Henry, I've finally got something right, and he especially helped make Evie into a thoguhtful, generous, and sweet young lady she is today," Regina replied. "Don't you wanna be able to say the same thing?" she then asked.

"It's too late for me." Tinkerbell frowned.

"Only if you kill my mother." Evie spoke up softly. "And maybe you won't get the help you want to find your missing daughter, whoever she is or wherever she might be right now, missing her mother and having no clue where she could be."

"I won't kill your mother, but I won't help you either," Tinkerbell shook her head as she handed the heart back to Regina. "Besides, it's probably too late. He's been with him too long."

"Him? You mean Peter Pan?" Evie asked.

"Take it from me, kid... Peter Pan changes people," Tinkerbell told the bluenette. "He might have come to this isle as your little brother, but he's a Lost Boy now."

"Hm... Not if I have anything to say about it..." Evie whispered to herself in determination as they soon began to leave with Tinkerbell.

"I admire that determination, Evie," Regina said softly. "If only I could be smart and strong just like you."

"You ARE smart and strong, Mom," Evie gently reminded her mother. "Why don't we talk about what you just talked about with Tinkerbell though?"

"You mean about losing Henry?" Regina asked.

"No, about when she helped you for your one chance of true love," Evie shook her head. "She said you were scared and left your supposed soulmate... Mom... Was there another man in your life?" she then asked. "Someone other than my father?"

"Evie..." Regina sighed and frowned.

"Come on, Mom... I'm a teenager now, you can tell me these things," Evie reminded softly. "I want to help Tinkerbell and I wanna help you too. I used to be in love with Chad Herman when I was younger until I realized he grew up to be the biggest jerk in Storybrooke High and I walked away from him, but this sounds important... Who was this other man that Tinkerbell is talking about?" she then asked urgently.

Regina sighed sharply as she looked her daughter in the eyes. "If I tell you, you have to promise to handle this maturely and civil as possible," she then advised her daughter. "This is very important."

"I understand, Mom," Evie reassured. "I'm not a little girl anymore."

"Thank you, Evie," Regina nodded before she took a deep breath and began to explain more to her daughter about her mysterious past, especially with Tinkerbell. "Your father was my first and dearest love, and together we had you: my beautiful daughter." she then started with a small smile.

Evie smiled back at that as she nodded, remembering hearing about her father being the mysterious Stable Boy who fell in love with the girl who was destined to grow up to be a queen.

"But there was one man after I was set to marry, the king who Tinkerbell assured was my soulmate," Regina then continued. "I'm sure you know the story about the king that your grandmother wanted me to marry."

"Yes, of course," Evie nodded. "Snow White's father."

"Indeed," Regina agreed softly. "Tinkerbell found me and told me that my true and destined soulmate was the man with the lion tattoo."

"So that's the tattoo that Tinkerbell was talking about before?" Evie guessed.

"Exactly," Regina confirmed. "I just felt scared after she left me to go and meet him, so... I never met and got to know that man after that night and I eventually went to marry Snow White's father, becoming his new wife and her step-mother, and I know you know the rest of the story of Snow White, my dear."

"Oh, Mom... That sounds pretty sad..." Evie frowned. "You had your chance for a new true love."

"I know, but I was worried... I didn't want to get hurt again after the broken heart I was forced to carry in my chest after losing your father and I almost lost you too," Regina said as she put her arm around Evie. "I just hope you understand and can forgive me."

"I think I understand, for now, Mom," Evie nodded before she decided to hug her mother. "You're still amazing to me. You're too caring, too strong, too powerful."

"And was too scared for a second chance of happiness." Regina sighed a bit.

"I still love you no matter what, Mom," Evie said before hugging her mother right away. "And we're going to make things right one way or another, like me trying to help Tinkerbell find her missing daughter and get a better chance for a happy ending while we look for Henry."

"...Thank you, Evie," Regina said as she hugged her daughter back while sniffling emotionally. "What did I do to deserve a thoughtful, sweet, and kindhearted daughter like you?" she then asked with a tearful smile.

"You just got lucky, I guess." Evie smiled back warmly.

"I don't believe much in luck, but I definitely feel lucky to have you." Regina beamed as they came out of the hug briefly.

"Maybe me loving you is Dad loving you from the other side... Wherever he is right now." Evie advised with a small smile.

Regina smiled back with a sniffle as she wiped her eye emotionally about that.

Meanwhile, Tinkerbell came out of the cave and was met by everyone else in the group who got ready to fight if they had to, also with Mary Margaret readying her bow and arrows. Tinkerbell put her hands up to show the others that she was unarmed and wasn't going to hurt any of them.

"Where's Regina and Evie?" Emma demanded.

"Who the hell are you?" Tinkerbell retorted.

"A pissed-off mother," Emma glared. "Where are they?"

"And don't even try to lie." Harry added firmly.

"Harry, guys, it's okay," Evie reassured as she and Regina soon came out of the cave next. "We're fine."

"Do you mind removing those?" Tinkerbell demanded firmly once she saw the weapons. "You might stick me, but I'll take you down."

"It's okay. She's not gonna hurt us," Regina reassured the rest of the group. "Just stand down."

"Is she going to help us?" Killian snorted slightly.

"Well, look who the queen dragged along," Tinkerbell huffed once she saw the adult pirate. "Hello, Hook."

"Lady Bell." Killian nodded in greeting.

"Guess it's no surprise that Tinkerbell and Captain Hook know each other." Evie commented to herself.

"It isn't." Samantha shook her head.

"She's not gonna help us." Regina soon said to the others.

"Why not?" Dee Dee pouted.

"It's complicated." Evie gently told the younger girl.

"Tink, after all we've been through together," Killian replied innocently to the former pixie. "A little assistance."

"It's not like that, Captain," Evie told the adult pirate. "She doesn't have any magic."

"Who ever heard of a fairy without magic?" Harry asked.

"That's complicated too." Evie then told the pirate teen.

"No pixie dust?" David asked.

"Not even her wings." Regina added.

"How?" Emma wondered.

"I guess people just stopped believing in me," Tinkerbell frowned. "And if I wanted to help you, he's too powerful."

Dee Dee also frowned at that before she suddenly started clapping her hands together.

"Uh... What are you doing?" Tinkerbell asked the girl.

"Clapping to show you I believe in fairies." Dee Dee insisted as she continued to clap.

Tinkerbell chuckled softly. "Cute kid, but I don't think it works that way." he then said to her.

Dee Dee then looked bashful in response.

"But you know where Pan is?" Evie then asked Tinkerbell.

"Sure, but it won't do you a bit of good." Tinkerbell replied.

"Let us be the judge of that. Does he trust you?" Mary Margaret said and then asked.

"Can you get us inside his compound?" Emma added.

"Maybe," Tinkerbell frowned. "Why should I help you?"

"Because I believe in you." Mary Margaret reassured.

"Just get us inside, and we'll take care of things from there." Emma added.

"And what's in it for me, other than a death sentence from Pan when you're gone with your boy?" Tinkerbell challenged.

"You can come with us." Emma offered.

"That's right. A home," Mary Margaret added as she saw a certain look in Tinkerbell's eyes. "That is what you want, isn't it?"

"And I already promised a deal with you." Evie added.

"You did?" Carla asked.

"Yes, and you can have a home too and your own family too if you join us too." Evie then told Carla softly. "You remind me of someone back home who I think you would get along with just nicely."

Carla looked a bit hopeful about that.

Tinkerbell looked thoughtful before she soon decided to agree with the rest of the group. "Okay. Listen closely. Pan trusts me. He'll let me and Carla in," she then told the others. "And maybe, just maybe, I'll leave a way open for you, but you've only got one shot, so you better have a good plan."

Carla shivered a bit nervously, though she nodded at Tinkerbell since she trusted the fairy clearly more than she trusted Peter Pan.

"Thank you. We will." Emma replied.

"Come with us to our camp. We'll figure it out." Mary Margaret added.

The group soon left, though David lingered a bit longer.

Mary Margaret soon noticed that and decided to approach him. "Hey. Are you all right? You look upset." she then spoke to him softly.

"Yeah," David sighed at her in response. "I just wanna get Henry back."

"We're on the way." Mary Margaret reassured him.

"How did you know that would work?" David soon asked his wife. "Offering her a home?"

"It worked for me. When I was a bandit living alone, all I wanted was a home," Mary Margaret explained softly. "And... the thing is I never found it till you came along. Even now, when I'm with you... I mean, that's all I need."

David smiled a bit and nodded at that.

"You sure you're okay?" Mary Margaret soon asked him.

"I love you." David replied softly.

"Mm..." Mary Margaret smiled before they kissed. "Come on. Last thing we need is to get lost in here." she then told him.

David nodded in agreement at that and they soon went off to go back to their campsite for the night.

Later, the group gathered around their campfire to plot their next move in Neverland. together by a fire. Killian soon handed Emma a coconut he had opened. In the distance, Regina leaned against a tree. Carla looked a bit nervous and wary while Harry did his best to comfort and protect her.

"Thanks." Emma softly said to Killian as they began to get along with each other pretty well.

Evie smiled warmly at that as Harry watched his father and tried to copy his moves in order to try to impress Carla. Dee Dee was shown to be trying to sleep, though she still seemed to be upset about something while Samantha decided to try to comfort her.

Eventually, Tinkerbell walked over to Regina and sat down by her side. "Did you ever go back and find him?" she then asked the other woman. "The man with the lion tattoo?"

"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that's a no." Evie piped up.

"She's right." Regina agreed with her daughter.

"Unreal," Tinkerbell sighed and tutted at Regina. "Do you know how selfish that is?" she then asked.

"It's a lot of things, but how is it selfish?" Regina frowned.

"Because you didn't just ruin your life; you ruined his." Tinkerbell explained.

"How so?" Evie wondered. "How did my mother ruin some guy's life by following her own path and heart?"

"It's very complicated and you're probably too young to understand." Tinkerbell replied.

"Try me." Evie challenged.

"That is definitely your daughter." Tinkerbell said to Regina.

"Don't I know it?" Regina nodded.
