"Henry Mills! Hello!" Alice shouted cheerfully as she skipped towards the camp. She had just gotten back from a trip to Wonderland and couldn't wait to show her friend Robin the amazing treasures she had found.

"Alice, it's good to see you again." Henry smiled brightly as he bounced baby Lucy on his lap.

"And who is this little one…" Alice bent down to coo at the baby she had seen her Papa playing with a few weeks ago. "Hello little rabbit…"

"How have to been Alice? Staying out of trouble I hope." Ella asked from behind, forcing Alice to turn away from the baby.

"Somewhat…I've actually just got back from a trip and was hoping to catch up with…"

"Your Father, I think he's in the food tent with Regina. I'll go and fetch him." Ella quickly interrupted before jogging over to a nearby tent. The look on Alice's face was enough to set off the curious nature in Henry.

"What was that?"

"What was what?" Alice asked, playing coy.

"That look…I know that look, that wasn't a Father visiting look…that was a-" Henry teased, making Alice's face start to turn pink.

"Starfish!" Hook called out from a few feet away, stopping only when he felt a faint tingle in his chest.

"Papa…" Alice smiled brightly, as she turned away from the prying man.

"We'll leave you two to talk…" Ella smiled, before practically dragging Henry and the baby away.

"It's good to see you again love, I was expecting a visit weeks ago." Hook smiled the smile that was reserved for his little girl and her alone.

"Yeah…I kinda got a little side-tracked, I made a new friend!" Alice rocked on her heels as she spoke of Robin.

"Oh, really love? That's amazing!" Hook gave out a small sigh, a happy sigh, but still a sigh. "I'm glad you're making friends, I really am…it's just, you need to be careful love. Not everyone is good in this world."

"I know Papa, but she is!" Alice bit her lip, thinking back to how Robin had stood up for her when the mob had closed in on them.

"Aye love, I believe you…" Hook paused as he caught sight of Regina running towards them. "Is everything okay?"

"Not really, we just got word that a couple of our archers got attacked in the woods. The search party is heading out now…Alice, hi…I don't want to break up-" Regina smiled, but Alice could tell that she was worried, which only made Alice worry about her new friend. Could Robin have been with them? Is she hurt, or worse?

"No, you have to go…and so do I. Goodbye Papa!" Alice shouted before running off into the woods.

Alice legs were starting to give in with worry, flashes of Robin bleeding and broken flooded her mind. She had to find her friend, had to make sure she was fine. Ducking through trees, jumping rocks, splashing through ponds, nothing could stop the blonde. That was until a tall redhead got in her way.

"Hey watch it!" Alice shouted as she lifted herself off the floor.

"Excuse me? You were the one running like lunatic through the forest, I have half a mind to turn you into a winged monkey!" The redhead snapped, dusting the non-existent dust from her green coat.

"I'm sorry, I'm just in a rush. I think my friend might be hurt and I need to find her." The red head's face softened as she heard the distress in her voice.

"It's okay dear…I've got magic, I can help you find her."

"You'd really help me?" Alice looked at her wide-eyed and hopeful.

"That's kind of what I do now…I'm Zelena."

"Alice."

"Well Alice, lets find that friend of yours. I think a simple locator spell should do the trick. Do you have anything belonging to her?" Zelena asked, probing Alice to start looking from her bag for just the thing.

"Will this work?" Alice asked as she held up an arrow, one that she had stolen without Robin realizing.

"Should work…" Zelena gently took the arrow and quickly began the locator spell. "Ahh, there we go. When you let this arrow go, it will take you right to your friend." The redhead smiled sweetly as she handed the arrow back to Alice.

"I don't know how I'll ever thank you…" Alice was torn between wanting to see if she could repay the favor and going after Robin.

"Go dear." Zelena winked before Alice set off again.

With the arrow whizzing through the air Alice struggled to keep up and even found herself falling over on occasion. Her mind was finally set a peace when she came across a small farm and the arrow fell to the ground.

"Robin?" Alice called out, receiving no answer the blonde began to worry once more and ran towards the farm. As she entered Alice was confused by the various animal's that Alice had never come across before, that was until she saw the faint trail of red that lead through the farm. In a blind panic Alice followed the trail, afraid of what she would find at the end, twists and turns lead Alice down a path that lead to a broken-down shed.

"Robin?" Alice's voice croaked as she called out once more. The trail stopped, and Alice's heart sank. The tears finally broke free of their cage in Alice's eyes and her legs gave in…until she heard someone singing in the near distance, quickly Alice rounded the final corner to finally find her friend. Standing tall on a latter, with a paintbrush in hand. Alice's mouth went dry at the sight of her friend, she wasn't dressed in her usual hunting outfit, instead, she wore denim shorts and a green tank top, exposing her biceps to the blonde. The brunette was happily dancing and singing along to a strange song that Alice never heard of, blissfully unaware of the blonde's presence. Letting out a small giggle, Alice startled the girl.

"Robin!" Alice screamed as her friend fell from her latter. The brunette was on the floor, covered in red and extremely angry. "Are you okay? Oh lord, I was so worried about you!" Alice quickly moved to check Robin's body for wounds.

"Alice, calm down I'm fine…it was a small fall from the latter." Robin looked down in embarrassment, before picking herself off the ground.

"But the blood?" Alice's eyes began to water once again.

"Is the red paint…Alice, what is going on? How did you know I was here?" Robin asked in confusion.

"I was at the camp and I heard that the archers had been attacked so I got worried and then I ran through the forest, until I ran into this really nice lady, she did a locator spell for me so I could find you and then I found this place and I saw you dancing on a latter and well…you know the rest." Alice spoke, never pausing not even for a breath.

"Wait…a locator spell? How did-" Robin asked as she moved them both towards a small house.

"I kinda stole one of your arrows…" Alice bit her lip, thinking that Robin was going to be mad and shout, but instead the brunette simply laughed.

"Well…it's a good thing you did, otherwise I probably never would have taken a break from chores…" Robin smiled sweetly, as she stopped just outside of the house. "Mom will turn me into a flying monkey if I get this paint in the house…help me wash it off?" Robin asked as she handed the hose to Alice.

"It's the least I could do for making you fall…wait, did you say flying monkey?" Alice asked as she held the water above Robin's head.

"Yeah, it's kind of my Mom's MO." Robin spoke as she rubbed the red paint off her toned arms and stomach, making Alice feel dizzy at the sight.

"Never pictured your Mother as a redhead…" Alice spoke in a singsong, finally confirming that Zelena was, in fact, Robin's mother.

"Wait what? How did you…the locator spell? What are the odds…" Robin laughed as Alice cut the water off, satisfied that Robin was now paint free, but also completely distracted by how the now see through green tank top was clinging to Robin's abs.

"She's not as wicked as I thought she would be." Alice shook her head, trying to concentrate on the girls face.

"Yeah, she's really changed since I was born…how about I tell you all about it over a cup of hot chocolate?" Robin winked before the two girls headed inside to enjoy a peaceful day together, filled with tales of Zelena and of Alice's latest adventure in Wonderland.
