Chapter 3: The Reunion
"Why did you even come here," Killian asked. "You could've easily avoided the curse."
"That is nothing of your concern," she replied.
"It's a concern if you're planning to harm anyone here," Regina chimed in.
"My intentions are my business. Just take me to my daughter and you won't have to worry about anyone getting harmed today," Alice said.
"There it is," Regina said, pointing to Granny's Diner.
"Great, now let me leave," Killian said.
"No one is leaving yet. We are going inside first," Alice sternly said before walking across the street.
A car nearly hit her, but her magic froze the car and driver in time.
"Don't you know how to look before crossing a road," Killian annoyedly asked.
"I have no need to," she replied, not even looking back.
Inside the diner, the Charmings and the mysterious girl were eating lunch.
"So what's your name," Henry asked the girl in a friendly tone.
"Violet, but some people just call me Vi," the girl said before taking a bite of her hamburger.
"Do you know how you got here," Snow asked Violet.
"The stupid curse that you people made," Violet replied as she finished her fourth hamburger.
"Are you sure your mother is here," Charming asked in a serious tone.
"Of course she's here," Violet said. "If I'm here, she is too. We just got a little separated.."
"Do you like it here so far," Henry asked.
"It seems kind of dull, but at least the food isn't bad," she replied.
She was about to ask for another burger when she stopped, as if she felt a presence near her.
"What's wrong," Snow asked.
Violet silently looked out the window just in time to see a car stop as if it were suddenly frozen. She smiled and jumped out of the booth before happily running out the door.
"Mama," she yelled while running to Alice.
Alice crouched down to hug Violet when she reached her, then picked her up. "There you are," she said with a smile.
"There, you're back with your daughter, so free us," Killian said.
Alice waved her hand. "There, your little Savior is free, so go back to your ship. Regina, you are free to leave if you want."
"I might stick around a little longer. It's interesting to see how you act around your daughter," Regina said as Hook walked away.
"Mommy, can I curse her," Violet asked.
"Maybe some other time," Alice replied.
"Okay," the little girl said with a sigh. She suddenly cheered up as though she remembered something. "Can I at least have another hamburger," she asked.
"How many have you had so far," Alice asked as she walked to Granny's with Violet in her arms.
"Only about four and a lot of fries," Violet replied.
"Then you'll need more," Alice said, opening the door and walking in.
She placed Violet on the floor and walked to the counter to order.
"What can I do for ya," Granny asked.
"I'll take ten hamburgers with fries," Alice said as Violet walked back to the booth where the Charmings sat.
"I knew Mom would find her for you," Henry said with a smile before glancing at Regina, who smiled back.
Alice walked over to their booth while Granny cooked the food.
"Hi, Ali," Snow said.
"Hey," Charming quietly said.
"Thank you for taking care of her," Alice said. "You will be heavily rewarded in addition to having this lunch for free."
"You don't need to do that," Snow replied. "Violet is a wonderful kid. Besides, I never did get to thank you for helping me back then."
"There is no need to thank me for that. I had my own reasons for helping you," she said as she sat next to her daughter before turning to look at Charming. "Still upset about the past, David?"
"The past," Snow asked, looking from Alice to Charming.
"It's a long story," Charming said.
"Well, thank you anyways. I suppose I owe you a favor as well," Alice said.
Granny brought over two plates with hamburgers and french fries on each one. "Here are two. The table isn't big enough for all of them so I'll bring more when you're done."
"Thank you," Violet cheerfully said before devouring the first hamburger.
"How can you eat so much," Henry asked in amazement.
"She's a growing girl; she needs a small feast," Alice replied for Violet, who had a mouth full of french fries.
Alice picked up the two plates and placed hers in front of Violet.
"How many can she eat," Henry asked.
"I ordered ten, so that should be enough," Alice replied, placing the empty plate in front of her.
"Aren't you eating too," Snow asked Alice.
"I'm not hungry right now," the red haired woman replied. "It's good to see that your son is well behaved."
"Henry is our grandson," Snow corrected her.
"I meant the baby," Alice said. "I always hated noisy children, but yours hasn't made many sounds so far."
"All babies get noisy sometimes," Snow replied with a smile.
"Not me," Violet said proudly. "I was a quiet baby."
"You were, but there are no children similar to you," Alice responded.
