Snow went over to Regina and hugged her, "we'll see you in a few days, I hope I'll come back with good news."
Regina let go of Snow and told her, "I'm sure you'll succeed, Zelena and I will continue to work here and try to find another solution."
They stood by the main entrance and said good bye to each other.
Snow, Charming and Robin set out on a journey. It would take at least three days for them to arrive.
The journey to the giant beanstalk will not be easy, they will have to make a lot of stops on the way, try to find shelter at night, the area is full of trolls, so at night they have to be quiet and keep shifts during the night.
They managed to get there without any bumps of any troll.
Snow said, "I think one of us should stay down and keep the giant beanstalk, you never know when one of the trolls will decide to attack."
Robin said, "Well I'm not staying down here, I'm here to protect you, I have to go up with one of you."
Snow looked at Charming and said, "He's right, one of us has to stay down."
"OK", Charming said "but you're not staying down here, I'll stay."
It was decided that Snow and Robin would go up on the giant beanstalk while Charming staying down.
Snow and Rabin began to climb the beanstalk, slowly and carefully, the climb took them about two hours before they reached the top of the beanstalk.
Robin immediately pulled out the bow and arrow, he was ready for any case, Snow next to him with the bow and arrow of her own.
The place was quiet, there was no sign of the giant.
They decided to inspect the area and headed toward the entrance.
They reached the main hall, in the middle of the hall stood a huge table with lots of food.
They looked around the hall but there was no sign of the giant, Robin decided to climb the table for a better view.
When Robin was on the table he helped Snow climb up. Together they began to look for the giant but all they could see was all types of food and no giant around.
At the end of the table stood a transparent vase with magical beans in it.
Snow was glad to see the beans in the vase and approaches it.
Robin stopped her and said," Do not touch it, it could be booby-trapped."
Snow stopped at once and watched Robin go to the vase, inspecting it in case it was indeed booby-trapped.
After a few minutes Robin said to Snow, "I think it's safe but just in case maybe we need to replace the beans with something else with the same weight."
Snow nodded, she notice the grapes on the other side of the table.
"I think, it could be the same weight. What do you think?" she pointed toward the grapes.
Robin thought about it for a few minutes and said, "I think it can work, but how do we get the beans out of the vase?"
"I don't know, maybe we'll break it? But I hope we won't damage the beans."
"I don't think that we should break the vase it can cause the trap to activate, Maybe we should try to get into the vase?, I'll lift you up and you try to catch them. What do you think about it?, It's less risky to the beans."
snow agreed to the idea and Robin look around and found a small jar in the middle of the table, he could use it for more height.
"Okay, now I'll pick you up on my shoulders and you try to take the beans."
Snow approached Robin, he went to stand behind her and lift Snow on his shoulder. "Can you reach them?" Snow was close to the beans and said to Robin, "can you try to raise yourself up it will help me to reach the beans."
Robin did exactly what Snow told him to do.
Snow reached the first branch and tried to grab it. She began to pull herself down into the middle of the branch. She took the first beans she saw and grabbed it in her hand, "I got it".
"Good, now keep it on you or give it to me and try to grad another one."
Snow pulled the beans to her and gave it to Robin, he put the beans in his pocket.
Snow tried to descend to the second branch, but she stumbled and fell in.
Snow was panicking she felt like her throat is closing and she couldn't breathe, she was a bit claustrophobic. Robin saw Snow in the vase and immediately looked for a way to rescue her.
"Snow, don't worry, I'm here, please breathe... breathe Snow slowly, very good just like that." Robin continue to encourage snow to breathe until Snow felt herself relax, and her breathing rate returned to normal.
"Well I'm going to look for a way to get you out, hold on."
Robin was looking for a rope or anything long enough to get Snow out.
He noticed a long sausage, long enough to look like a rope help get Snow out of the vase.
"Well I don't have much choice, it has to do."
Robin picked up the sausage and approached the vase. He slid it in and said to Snow," Hold on to it and I'll pull you out."
Snow nodded and clutched at the sausage.
Robin began to pull her up, and before Snow was out she said," Robin stop."
She began picking two more beans and replaced the beans with the grapes.
"Okay now you can continue."
Robin took Snow out of the vase and together they started to run toward the exit.
They stop at the top of the beanstalk, Robin helped Snow start to descent the beanstalk and followed her.
The descent from the beanstalk went much faster and It took them an hour and a half to reach the bottom of it.
Charming sat on the other side of the beanstalk and continued to watch over it.
Snow called him happily, "Charming", she wanted to hug him.
Charming immediately opened his hands and hugged her tightly, they shared a passionate kiss.
"We managed to get the beans", Snow told him with a big smile on her face.
"We are going home, back to our family". He said to Snow and hugged her again.
Robin comes over and patted Charming's shoulder, "I'm happy for you, I suggest we start walking back to the castle."

On the other side of the Enchanted Forest back in the dark castle, Regina and Zelena work hard on trying to find a solution to their problem.
Regina reads an old magic book she found on a shelf and Zelena reads another magical book.
"I remember reading in one of the books that there is a possibility to create a portal with a spell but I just do not remember which book I read it on."
"Oh, Sis ... do not worry, I'm sure we'll find it. We've read more than 7 books in the last 3 days, I'm sure there's not much left and we'll find this spell in one of them."
Regina sighed, she wanted to help Snow find a way back home, but all that reading tired her, she just hoped this book would be found before Snow returned from the journey.
"I'm going to get us some tea, do you want anything else?" She asked Regina. "No thank you." Regina said to her with a small smile, Zelena nodded and left the room for the kitchen.
Regina continued reading the book, she was disappointed that they could not find the spell.
After a few minutes Zelena returned with a tray of tea and biscuits.
She began to pour the tea into the glass and hand it over to Regina. Regina leaned forward and took the glass.
She crossed her legs and put the book aside, she waited for the tea to cool off and take a sip.
Zelena made herself a cup of tea and went to sit opposite Regina.
"Are you feeling better?" Zelena ask with concern for her sister.
"Yes, it helped me a little thank you."
Zelena gave her a loving smile, "I missed this, I know I see Regina all the time but...you're different, we have more in common and I miss our conversations, our time together."
Regina looked at Zelena in wonder, "I had no idea that this is how you feeling, I promise you once we find the spell we can see each other much more. I'll come to you or you'll come to me whatever you want and whenever you want."
"I would like it very much", Zelena said to her with a smile.
"Okay, so now we have to work harder and find this spell."
They went back to work and continued to read every book they had left.
In the 10 Book Regina found the spell she remembered reading once.
"Here it is. the spell I found it". Regina said with a big smile.
"You did it, you found the spell, good job sis."
"Yes indeed, I can't believe I found it, now we can send you home." They embraced and were glad they had found a solution to their problem.

"Henry, open the door."
"But it's locked, what will we do?"
"Henry I'm going to guide you how to break through the lock and you are going to do it for us."
Henry was stressed he hadn't done it before but he was determined to help.
"Okay what should I do?" Henry asked Emma and looked at her.
"We'll do it step by step, Step one, you should look for a thin metal object."
Henry searched around the building for a thin metal object, he found one object by the front door and picked it up.
"It is good?" Henry asked and showed the object to Emma.
"Yeah, it's good, now step two, you need to break the thin metal object in half."
Henry did exactly what Emma said and waited for the explanation to continue.
"Good, now the third step, you have to hold in each hand one half thin metal object, and insert one side upward into the lock and the other side down into the lock."
Henry played with the two pieces of metal and aimed them as Emma said.
"Now the fourth and final step, the side facing down should be on the side of the lock while the top does not move, you will feel the spring of the lock from the inside, once it feels jumpy you will push it to the side and the lock will open. It's a bit tricky, you'll try a couple of times before it will work but you can do it."
Henry moved the metal to the starting position and began to play with the spring of the lock.
As Henry play with the lock,Emma looked at the unconscious girl in her hands, she put her head on her shoulders and held her tight, her breath was even and she slept quietly.
"I wonder how her eyes look like? what color they are?"
Emma could not stop herself from thinking about it, she did not notice that Henry had managed to unlock the lock.
"Ma, it's open, come on, let's go inside." Emma followed Henry into the library, he led them to the room in the attic of the library.
Emma immediately came in and put Regina on the bed, Henry searched for a blanket in one of the drawers and found it in the bottom drawer along with two other blankets.
Henry went over to cover his mother and gave his other mother a blanket and went to lie down next to Regina in bed.
"I think it's time to sleep, I'll sleep next to you and you next to Regina and in the morning we'll see if she wakes up."
Emma said to Henry with a smile and went to kiss him on the forehead, "Good night Henry."
"Good night Ma, thank you for helping me today and believing in me," he got up to kiss his mother on the forehead and went to do the same to his second mother. he whispered to her in the ear, "Good night, Mom, I'll see you in the morning. Tomorrow going to be a much better day." with that he lay down on the pillow and fell asleep quickly.
