Charming, Emma and Henry: Happy Birthday.

Snow: You guys this is so sweet

(Snow hugs charming)

Snow: Wait, Charming, since when have you remembered my birthday?

Charming: I didn't, Red reminded me yesterday, which is when I bought you this.

Snow: It's beautiful, here help me put it on

(He helps her put it on)

Mulan: You look great

Emma: Exactly, anyway, how are you both doing, I feel like I haven't spoken to you in ages?

Aurora: We're fine, we've struggled with quite a few things, namely the T.V., Dishwasher and Toaster, but we just called Snow and she helped us.

Emma: Good, remember you can call us if you're confused about anything.

Mulan: We know and thank you Emma, you've done so much for us

Aurora: Precisely.

Emma: You're welcome, now if you excuse us, we gotta go, Henry, come on we're leaving.
