'Daddy and mommy did it wonderful eh?!' said Neal proudly. Henry looked to the kid next to him and smiled. 'Yes, they were' Neal, who Henry hadn't spoken yet, was the second child of the Charmings. He had heard a little about him. When he was a baby, there were some troubles because of the Wicked Witch of the West. However, he just had heard this in a pub. Never believe everything people spread about someone. But, Henry believed this fact. He had heard earlier about the crimes of the witch in the past. Zelena was a good witch now, but some scars never left. People like me, bad people, may be good, but that doesn't say that all people forget what you've done. However, nobody in his family talked about it anymore. What happened in the past don't matter anymore. The most important thing is that they were all happy now. 'Are you up for the banquet? I believe that Queen Tiana have made some delicious beignets!' Queen Tiana is famous through her beignets. Henry had tasted it a while ago during a trip with the family Jones. 'Yeah! I heard that aunt Zelena and her man made some cakes. I want to try them!' told Neal enthusiastically. Henry had to smile.
They reached the room where the reception took place. 'I'm going to seek aunt Zelena and uncle Chad. They can me bring to their cakes!' Neal smiled bright and ran in the crowd. Left alone, Henry looked around. He saw a long row of tables set at the windows. On the right side of the room, there were tables and seats. On the back of the big room, there was a door to a bigger room. From afar, he saw a big chandelier in the centre of the room. That room would be the dance room. Henry didn't think of dancing tonight. He has no girlfriend yet. Several years, he had to look for the right girl. Every time he thought to find one, she turned away from him. Once he found a girlfriend in sleep that he wanted to kiss, but then there were the dragon and another stupid prince. The whole quest led to wanting to get revenge. He blamed the Evil Queen for everything that went wrong in his life. Later, in a desperate act, he made a deal with Rumple. He would care for a pen that could rewrite his story. Through this deal, some things went wrong, but the good thing was that he got to know a new family.
'Hello, Henry! Do you want to hold the baby for a moment? After all, it's your sister too.' Henry turned around to the voice. It was Emma with Hook and Hope. 'Ooh,' Henry smiled, 'of course mom!' He felt the warmth of the baby. 'She has Hazel coloured eyes, just like her mother!' Henry touched her cheek gently. 'Thank you, mom, for everything.' Henry gave Hope to Hook and gave his mother a huge hug. She kissed his forehead. 'See you later, pal!' said Hook. They went away, and Henry was left alone again. Hook and Emma were friendly too him, a lot of people were. He didn't deserve it. However, he didn't complain about it. 'Hye Lucy!' said Henry, 'How are you?' Lucy was the kid of Henry and Ella. She wore a long, pink dress with a silver necklace around her neck. She stood next to a table full of cakes in all shapes and sizes. 'I'm feeling great! Aunt Regina, the queen. I always dreamt about that. She's amazing, you know?' Henry nodded. He looked to a delicious pie that he wanted to try. It had strawberries and whipped cream. 'Do you also want a piece of cake?' asked Henry gently. He cut the cake and gave it to her. 'Thanks!' Henry also took a pie for himself. 'Hmmm... It's delicious!' said Henry while he rubbed his belly. 'Glad you liked it!' said someone. 'Aunt Zelena!' yelled Lucy and she hugged her. She made the cake. Henry asked to himself where Neal is. A while ago, Neal had been looking after Zelena and Chad to find their cakes. 'Did Neal find you?' asked Henry, 'Because he was looking after you'. Zelena pointed to one of the corners with a piece of cake in her hand. 'He is with Chad, my husband.' Zelena added that she was going to join them again. Lucy was cheerfully hopping behind her.
Left alone again, Henry decided to go to the dance room. On his way, he said hello to a few people. However, he didn't speak anymore against anyone. He may be accepted, but there was still the isolation that a villain often has. He still felt the hole in his heart, the big emptiness, which he tried to suppress. Henry looked at the dancers. Snow White and Prince Charming were dancing in the centre of the ballroom. They were the queen and king of the dancefloor. His mother was talking to Regina. She looked at him for a second, whereafter she carried on chatting. In the corner, he saw Hook talking with the other Hook. They drunk rum together. Some of the pirates were close to them.
Then, Henry saw a girl in the corner of the ballroom. She had long dark brown hair with brown eyes. She looked gorgeously in the long salmon-coloured dress. Would he try again to find a girl? He needed urgent a queen next to him. Would he try to dance again? It was so long ago... He decided to not think about it. Henry stepped to that girl and asked her for a dance. She accepted with a smile. Together they walked to the dancefloor. Henry knew how to dance, but he did it a long time ago. He hasn't done it since the death of his grandparents. After that event, he was only out on revenge and slaying dragons to get a girl. Henry asked her name. 'I'm Violet' she said, 'and who are you?' He told her his name, and for a moment she seemed to be shocked. Henry didn't want to spoil the mood or saying anything wrong. He said nothing for a while not knowing what to do. Violet seemed to recover herself and asked 'Where do you come from?'. 'I am from a realm made by a wish.' said Henry with a medium smile. First, he didn't know that, but Rumplestiltskin told him about the wish made by the Evil Queen. 'Where are you from?' asked Henry her. 'I am from the Camelot, but my dad is from the world without magic.' Rumplestiltskin also told him about this strange land. Henry couldn't comprehend how to live in a world without magic. 'I visited Camelot once, it's a nice place!' said he with a little bit of flirtation. 'Did you?' smiled Violet. 'Yes, there was a shop in the capital which has delicious Belgian chocolate.' said Henry. 'Ooh, that's the shop for my family. You probably met my dad! He brought some chocolate to Camelot and reproduced it.' explained she. 'Really?' laughed at Henry, because he was happy that he was unknowingly close to Violet. 'I know now why your hair does smell like chocolate' flirted Henry. Violet smiled and played a little bit with her hair. Henry smiled back and heard some people laugh. He looked and saw little Neal dancing with Lucy. They had a lot of fun. Lucy did probably make a huge joke because Neal was roaring with laughter. Henry was happy that nobody laughed because of him.
After a while, Henry asked Violet if she wanted a drink. He was thirsty after the dance. 'Yes, I want.' They walked to the bar while Henry gently took her hand. She looked at him and smiled. 'Thank you for the dance. You were amazing' complimented Henry her. 'Ooh, that's sweet. I liked it too.' answered Violet. Then, Henry abruptly heard a hard noise. It came from the doors. An angry man shouted that Regina didn't deserve it to be queen due to the fact she was once the Evil Queen. Then, a few other men came to uphold the man. Henry recognized them as the Knights of the Round Table. They began to fight with the coming soldiers. Eventually, the soldiers won. Henry had been looking speechless at what was happening. Henry looked at Violet with a face of surprise. Violet was motionless and blushed. 'I have to go' she whispered. Confused, he saw how Violet went away towards the door where the fight had taken place. Henry couldn't understand why she too turned away from him.
After a few seconds, Henry disappointed walked away. He passed many corridors while thinking about what had happened. He still didn't comprehend why Violet had to leave. He also didn't understand why everyone seemed to leave him. Was he a monster or something else? Still confused he achieved his room. 'How it is possible that everyone leaves me alone?!' yelled Henry whereafter he slammed with the door. Desperately, he collapsed and brought his hands to his eyes. Tears began to stream across his cheeks. How could he ever be happy?
