Granny's Diner
"Hey Sherif any news on this new curse what are we all doing here" Leroy said
"Actually no but we have a very special surprise, our youngest daughter Daniella has returned home to us" Mary Margaret said with tears
In a matter of seconds, all the dwarves, Granny, Ruby, Archie, and almost 100 more people came running toward Daniella hugging her, welcoming her home, some especially Granny, and Ruby had tears in their eyes
"Well Ms. Oliver let me be the first to say what an honor it is to have you with us. Regina said walking towards her
"Um, thank you and you are." Dani asked
"That's Regina, she's the mayor, and Henry's adoptive mother" Emma whispered
"Oh hello, nice to meet you." Dani said as she shook hands with Regina
"I'm sure it is, well welcome home" Regina smiled
"Well it was so nice to meet all of you, but I really should be going" Dani said but suddenly realized her mistake
"Going, what do you mean going your not leaving Storybrooke no one can" Mary Margaret cried
"I'm sorry oh god, no I meant go find a hotel or something." Danielle apologized
"Actually we thought you would live with us so we can get to know you better, Emma used to live with us along with Henry before Neil came so we do have the room." David said
"That's really nice of you but you..
"We wont take no for an answer." Mary Margaret interrupted
"Well then how can I refuse, I just need to get something out of my car I'll meet you there" Danielle smiled
~Scene~
"Ah, Oliver leaving the party so soon" Hook said from outside Granny's
"I need a drink"…Hook offered her his flask of rum, and smirked when she nearly drowned it all."Thanks I needed that, so was that everyone in Storybrooke." Dani said as she sat down
"Aye, mostly everyone 98%"Hook said as he took a drink for himself
"Why didn't you come in" Dani asked but quickly took it back when he saw choke on his drink
"You wanted me there" Hook asked once he got his breathing under control
"Of course I did, at least I would have known someone there besides my parents and Emma." Dani answered. "Why wouldn't I.
"Well Oliver you'll soon come to realize that most people in this town see me as a villain" Hook said quietly as he looked down into his hook
"Killian, I've watched the Peter Pan movies"…Hook shuddered from the name, but allowed her to continue." I've seen Captain Hook and you are not him, that captain would not have risked his life for someone he barely knew and her family, he's a coward, you are one of the bravest men I know and I will never thank you enough for saving my life. So you Killian Jones are not a villain, you are my hero." Dani said as she kissed his cheek and got up to go to her car
Still sitting at the table Killian felt something he hasn't felt in almost 300 years, he placed his hand to the cheek where Danielle had kissed him it felt warm from her lips, his whole body felt warm. He then stood up and walked towards the sherifs office
~Sherifs Office~
"Killian what are you doing here, any lead on the case." Jefferson asked when he saw his best friend walk into the office
"No, sorry mate, actually I need your help." Killian asked
"Anything you know that" Jefferson answered
"How long did it take you to fall in love with Ruby" Killian asked surprising the socks off Jefferson
"Not long at all from the moment I laid my eyes on her I knew she was the one, the one I wanted to spend my life with, someone to be a stepmother to Grace. Killian Jones are you saying that you maybe falling in love with Emma's sister, bro that's fast, you just met her." Jefferson said
"She kissed me, on the cheek, but I still felt something, I don't know what to do"Killian said sitting on the chair with his head in his hand.
"Take it slow, it took Ruby and I 3 months to admit our true feelings, take it slow man, your patience will be rewarded if she's the one." Jefferson said placing his hand on Killian shoulder and left
~Home~
"Okay, so Neal took Henry home, I figured the less he knows the safer he is." Emma said as shesits down on a sofa.
" Hey." Dani said as she came into the house with her blanket in her hand. So Killian pretty much filled me in on the curses and what happened in the past, hows this one different then loosing your identity, what happened here? I mean, besides the obvious. Danielle said Gesturing toward a pregnant Mary Margaret.
"We don't know. After the last curse ended we were sure it was safe to go home no thing was here to stop us. Then Regina started to cast her spell to take us all back to the Enchanted Forest and then...everything went black. Emma said
"And the next thing we remember is waking up in our beds like it was any other morning in Storybrooke." David said
"Except it clearly wasn't." Mary Margaret said putting a protective hand over her belly.
"Well clearly a year's past. I was in New York" Danielle said
"We don't even know if we left Storybrooke." David said
"Actually you did, Killian was there with you" Dani said and saw the surprised looks on her parents faces
"Killian, you mean Hook right." David asked
"David he saved her life, he brought her back to us." Mary Margaret said
"I'm sorry its just we have a very long history that sometimes its hard to appreciate all the good he's done without remembering the bad."David said
"I completely understand mate but don't worry I'm changing for the better, trying to any way." Killian said walking into the apartment
"I don't understand: If you left the Enchanted Forest before the curse, how did you know to find Daniella and come to Storybrooke?" Emma said turning to Killian
"Well as I was sailing the realms a bird landed on my ship's wheel with a note instructing me to retrieve Daniella and bring her back here. There was a small vial of memory potion tied to its leg. Killian answered
"Who send it?" Mary Margaret asked
"I assumed you did, after the curse was broken you were set on finding your sister the minute you found out about her" Killian said turning to Emma
" A message via bird-that sounds more like you." David said referring to Mary Margaret (There's a knock on the door. Leroy and Happy enter the room.) What is it?
"We lost another one. We're five now."Leroy said
"Four, actually. Bashful's not answering. Happy said taking a look on his cellphone
"Wait. What is going on?" Dani said who had been silent ever since Killian came
Thank God you're here, sister, maybe with two saviors we can solve this a lot quicker than last time" Leroy said ignoring the look Emma was giving him
"It's not just our memories that are missing. Ever since we woke up, people have begun disappearing." Mary Margaret said
"Whoever cursed us is picking us off, one by one." Leroy said
"Who's exactly missing? I mean in a war they usually get rid of the strongest opponents, who should we be worried about" Dani asked
"Aside from the dwarves, we're not sure. There's been a lot of confusion over the past few days. It's been hard to keep track of everyone" David said
"Ok so from what I've gathered there's only one way we gonna figure all this out. We have to get your memories back." Dani said
"How are we going to do that?" Emma questioned
"By figuring out who took them in the first place." Dani replied
~Later That Night~
"Hey are you all settled in"Mary Margaret asked
"Ya, thank you Mary Margaret for everything, its nice to have someone to come home to" Dani said as she held her blanket
You know you can call me mom if you want, I've waited 22 years to have you back in my arms."Mary Margaret said as she held Daniella."Is that the blanket, your baby blanket, I haven't seen this since you were a baby, I knitted it for you when I was pregnant with you, I can't believe you still have it" Mary Margaret said as she held the blanket
"Actually I just got it back, Killian brought me back to my old foster care which is where I found it again." Danielle said
"Killian huh, most people refer to him as…
"Hook I know he told me how everyone views him as a villain, has anyone ever heard him out, gotten a chance to know him"Danielle interrupted
"I see maybe we should, you should get some rest, goodnight" Mary Margaret said tucking her daughter in like she did years ago
~Next Day~
"This is where he was taken."Robin Hood said
"I wouldn't step over that line, if I were you." Emma told her sister
"You think Little John was carried away because he attempted to cross that line?" Robin said
"Makes sense. The dwarves were out checking the line to see if anyone was coming or going when they disappeared. What exactly took Little John?" David said
"We didn't get a good look. Some sort of a beast with wings." Robin said
"That sounds a lot like the monster who attacked me in New York." Danielle said
"The monster you were dating?" Killian said
"You were involved with someone." David said Unpleasantly surprised.
"Did you just miss the part where I said "monster"?" Killian said
"We need to find Little John." Robin said
"It may lead us to those who've gone missing. Killian, take him and the rest of his Merry Men." Jefferson told Killian
"Right. Then. I'll run a search grid and see if I can find any sign of their missing guy. Danielle said walking away
"Dani are you sure about this don't you want to ease you way into magic slowly, you don't need to rush." Emma said to her sister
"I'm not gonna figure out who's behind this curse by just sitting around doing nothing" Dani said
"What are you gonna do?" David asked
"I'm gonna talk to everybody." Dani answered
~The Town Hall. ~
"This won't do any good." Ruby said offering her assistance
(Standing in front of them Dani tries to calm the assembled citizens down.) "Everyone. Everyone. I know that you're afraid and confused but I need you to listen."
"Is it true? Is there some kind of monster keeping us from leaving town?" Archie said panicking
"Is that what happened to my brothers?" Leroy said angrily
" Yes, we believe the people are being abducted as they approach the town line." Danielle said calmly
"So, we're trapped here. Again?" Granny said
"I don't know what happened last time but from what I gathered, it's like the last time." Danielle
"Last time we lost our memories. This time we get into dragged into woods."Leroy said bitterly
(Regina enters the town hall.)
"Do you know who cursed us? And why they want us here?"Belle said for the first time
"Emma and I are working on it. It's hard to figure out who cast the curse when nobody remembers the last year." Dani said silencing wishing she had brought Emma with her
"Who? Isn't it obvious?" Leroy said
"Do you remember something?" Daniella asked
"Who cast the last curse? Who knows how to use it? Who's the only one who ever did anything like this before? The Evil Queen." Leroy said pointing to Regina
"For once I'm just as clueless as the rest of you." Regina said shaking her head
"You expect us to believe that? Leroy said
"It's the truth." Regina explained
"This curse has your fingerprints all over it." Granny said
"You did take away our memories once before." Belle said
"Will everyone just calm down and stop throwing around accusations, I may have only been here for less than 24 hours but from what I gather Regina doesn't know anymore than we do." Dani said
"Thank you, Daniella, its nice to see that not everyone is so judgmental."Regina said
" Regina, please. Just tell us the truth. We'll understand." Archie said
"I am telling the truth, please you have to believe me I just got my family back, I'm starting over why would I ruin the life I created." Regina pleaded glancing towards Robin
"I believe you." Robin said walking towards Regina and wrapping his arms around her in comfort and support."Please everyone she's not the same person you knew before she's changed, I'm asking you to believe in her."Robin pleaded.
"We'll find out who is behind this, I may not know you but I believe in finding the good in people. I'm still slowly learning about the past but I believe you to, I can sense you're telling the truth" Daniella said walking towards Regina
" Fine, but until we find out who did do it I still keep my suspicions."Leroy said
"You're all free to believe in what you want until the case is solved, but that doesn't mean we stop looking for evidence."Daniella said
~Grannys~
"Are you sure you're ready to meet her I don't want to rush you." Jefferson told his daughter.
"Dad, you're in love, just from the way you talk about her she sounds great I can't wait to meet her." Grace replied
"Alright then I'll pick you up later, have fun" Jefferson said
Jefferson kissed Ruby who was leaning against the bar and left the dinner.
"So, you and my papa? Grace said
"Yeah, are you ok with this, because I would never want to come between you and your papa." Ruby said quickly.
"May I please have an ice cream sundae?" Grace smirked ignoring the question at hand
"You don't want ice cream" Ruby laughed
"I dont" Grace questioned
"Nope, you want to see if I'll run to get you one, if I do I'm sucking up." Ruby looked straight into Grace's eyes
"I like you, you make papa very happy, you have passed my test." Grace smiled
"Great, now how about we get you that sundae, let me guess Vanilla." Ruby smiled back
"How did you know, and can I have whipped cream too." Grace said
"Its your dad's favorite, I'll be right back." Ruby walked away
~Scene~
"My God. Did you know there's something like cradle cap? Babies get that on their heads. It's a crusty, yellow, greasy, scaly skin rash. Seriously, this book uses all of these words." Mary Margaret said reading a pregnancy guide
"Gross, grandma I'm trying to eat." Henry groaned
"Did your dad say when he was coming back." Mary Margaret said
"Nope but knowing dad, he's not going to be back for a while." Henry smirked
"Where is he exactly" Mary Margaret said when she saw the smirk
"Nowhere, can I go say hi to Grace." Henry said
"Go ahead" Mary Margaret said. Cradle cap. She sighed
"You know, it goes away. It doesn't hurt the baby." Zelena said
"It doesn't?" Mary Margaret questioned
"Babies are stronger than you think. You're Snow White aren't you?" Zelena answered
"I'm Mary-Margaret here, actually. This must be your first time in Storybrooke?" Mary Margaret said
"I've missed the last curse. So, everything in this world is still a bit new." Zelena said
"Don't worry. My daughter Daniella is also new. You'll get used to it. Mary Margaret smiled. Who were you back in our land? "She asked
"Really I didn't know you had another daughter I always thought it was just Emma." Zelena asked I'm no one you'd remember. Not everyone is famous like you.
" Daniella is actually our younger one she was living in NY." Mary Margaret said smiling about having her children back in her life. "I don't know if I'd say famous."
" You were a princess. And some of us were just supporting players. Oh, it's okay. I loved who I was and what I did. I was a midwife." Zelena said standing up and walking towards Mary Margaret
"Really?" Mary Margaret said shockingly
"My name is Zelena. I've seen a lot of new mothers. Don't worry, you'll learn quickly." Zelena said noding
"Maybe you can give me some advice? It's been a while since Daniella was born and last time I had one of my dwarfs helping me with my pregnancy. I have been turning the corner of every page on which I have a question and now I can't close the book. There are so many. "Mary Margaret said hopeful
"It would be an honor." Zelena smiled
"Careful. Once I have the baby I may not let you leave my side." Mary Margaret laughed
May I? Zelena touches Mary Margaret's belly Wow, helping Snow White with her baby? I can't think of anything that would make me happier.
~The Woods~
"Guys! Look there's blood" David yelled
"He was dragged. He's there! "(A injured Little John is lying on the ground. He's unconscious and suffers from a neck wound). Robin Hood said taking a closer look at the leaf
"Is he alive?" Killian said as Daniella walked closer to Robin and Little John
"Barely. Don't jostle him who know what kind of injuries he's sustained" Daniella told Robin who was trying to awake John. "John, if you can hear us try waking up slowly we've got you.
She's so loving and gentle, and so beautiful, alright Killian stop thinking about her, her father is standing right in front of you and he'll kill you without a second thought. Killian thought as he shook his head "I've never seen a bite like that before." Killian said
"Me neither." David said
"Is he going to be aright" Robin asked Daniella who currently had a piece of cloth pressed to his wound
"The wound isn't to deep it will need stitches, I don't know serious his injuries are, is there a hospital nearby." Daniella said.
"Ya, its in town not to far from Granny" David said
"Okay, help me get him up. We have to get him some help."Daniella said as Robin and David carefully lifted Little John.
~The Mayor House~
"Did it work?" Emma said helping Regina with making enough memory potion to restore the town.
There's only one way to find out" Regina said taking a sip of the potion
Do you remember? Regina throws the bottle containing the potion at the wall. It shatters. "Well I'd say it didn't work". Emma said
"I must have missed an ingredient."Regina said
"Can't we try again?" Emma pleaded
I've already used up what was left of the potion Daniella gave you. There's nothing left to applicate." Regina said
"We can't keep going around not knowing what happened in the last year" Emma complained
"Our best chance is to find out who created this new curse." Regina said
Phone Rings
"Hello Robin, whats wrong…Is he alright…Of course I'm on my way…I love you to" Regina said
"Is everything ok" Emma asked
"Little John, they found him,but he's badly hurt." Regina said
"Lets go get some answers" Emma said grabbing her jacket
~Grannys~
After getting the call from Killian that they had found a badly beaten Little John, Jefferson decided to check up on Grace. He entered the diner and quickly found his two favorite girls laughing together, which warmed his heart.
"So what did I miss." Jefferson said sliding into a chair next to Grace
"Nothing important, did you guys find Little John." Ruby asked
"Yeah, he's in bad shape, Killian, Daniella, David, and Robin are taking him to the hospital now.
"I'm sorry is there anything I can do." Ruby said
"Thank you, but right now there's nothing we can do right now until Little John wakes up."Jefferson replied
"Hey Papa?" Grace said
"Yes" Jefferson said
"Can Ruby come home and have dinner with us."Grace asked
"So I take it you like her?" Jefferson smiled
"She'll do"Grace smiled
"Please you love me" Ruby laughed
"You wish"Grace smirked
"Well if Ruby's not working she's more than welcome to join us."Jefferson smiled, happy to see his daughter and the woman he loved get along so well.
"Well then you've got yourself a guest, how's seven thirty" Ruby replied
Sounds wonderful we'll see you then" Jefferson said
Jefferson and his daughter exited the dinner
"So what do you think of Ruby" Jefferson asked
"You did great Papa, she's perfect for our family" Grace replied
"I'm so glad to hear that, so what should we make for her." Jefferson asked
"How about your famous hamburgers and fries." Grace said
"That sounds wonderful, will you help me" Jefferson said.
"Of course, Papa?" Grace asked
"Yes"
"I'm really glad you're happy." Grace smiled
"I am, very happy." Jefferson smiled.
~Hospital~
"He's in cardiac arrest his BP is dropping fast." Daniella yelled running into the hospital
"How do you know all this" David asked
"She was a doctor in New York" Killian said
"What did this to him?" Dr. Whale asked
We don't said
"He's going into shock." Daniella yelled
"We need to sedate him. 15 mg of propofol." Whale commanded
Dr. Whale tries to give Little John a shot. Little John continues to tremble violently and he begins growing a tail. Daniella attempts the shot but the tail lashes out hitting her across the chest.
"Daniella are you alright" Killian ran to Daniella
"Ya what in the world just happened" Daniella said
"John!" Robin Hood yelled
(Little John transforms into a flying monkey)
"Okay, I didn't see that coming." David said
(The flying monkey takes a leap jumping through the window and disappears into the night.) "What the hell was that thing?" Robin asked
"Don't look at me. I'm a doctor not a vet." Walsh said
~Home~
"We need to talk." David said walking into the apartment followed by Daniella and Hook
"Is this about the flying monkeys" Neal asked
"The missing people are being turned into flying monkeys? Mary Margaret said confused
"It would appear so we just saw Little John form a pair of wings. Hook said grabbing a drink for himself and Daniella
"Do you think this is what happened to the missing dwarves, too?"Mary Margaret asked
" It would explain why we haven't found any traces of them." Daniella said. "Thank you" Dani said accepting the drink
"Has your father had any experience with these type of creatures." Emma asked Neal
"I don't know but I can ask" Neal said
"What type of person is associated with flying monkeys. Of course I know exactly who cursed us" Emma said after connecting the dots
"Who The Wicked Witch of the West? (Regina nods) Seriously? She's real, too? Daniella said surprised
"Says the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming." Emma and Killian said
"I don't get it. It's not like we're in Kansas. Why would the Wicked Witch of the West wanna come to Storybrooke?" Daniella asked
