At the station:
Both Henry and Tasia walk in and they both look towards a blonde haired man that looks just a few years older than the brunette woman, "Hi Grandpa," Henry greets walking right pass the man towards another door leading to an office.
Tasia furrows her brows in confusion seeing that the only man in the room was this one at the desk, he seems to be a little too young to be a grandfather, at least to a kid at Henry's age.
"Hey buddy," The man greets back with a grin, "How was school?"
"It was good," the boy replied, "Ma!" he called out knocking on the door.
Emma comes out of her office and ruffles her son's hair, "Hi kid," she looks up and sees her and Regina's apprentice, "I see you met Tasia,"
"Yeah she gave me a ride here."
Emma smiles at the younger woman, "thanks."
"He just called that guy Grandpa…" Tasia says looking towards the blonde man.
"Oh, that's my dad, Dad this is Tasia."
David stands and holds his hand out to shake, "It's very nice to meet you, my name's David."
Tasia shakes his hand and nods, "It's nice to meet you too um… sir," the younger woman's face scrunched at the unfamiliar formality, it's not really a common thing back in the islands to call someone "sir", or "ma'am" unless speaking to a customer. The younger woman then looks up at David then to the female version of him and back, "So this guy is Prince Charming?"
David laughs and bows, "In the flesh my lady."
Tasia raises a brow, "So is Prince Charming your real name or is it David?"
The blonde man grins straightening himself up, "Charming is a nickname Snow gave to me when we met."
"You're so young though."
"A perk that came with the first curse."
"And what's the deal on Henry between you and Regina," Tasia asks Emma trying to understand that situation.
"I gave birth to him at 18 and gave him up for adoption, Regina ended up adopting him."
"Talk about a small world," The younger woman says, making both David and Emma chuckle. Tasia looks back again at David and says, "If this is what your dad looks like, I can't wait to see your mom."
"Hey guys!" Right on que Snow White walks right in to the station with a bright smile. Snow takes notice of the unacquainted face and smiles, holding her hand out, "Hi, I'm Mary Margret," she says in the most cheerful way.
"AKA Snow White," Henry says with a grin.
Snow White looks down at her grand-son then back to the younger woman, "Well, I guess you can call me Snow."
Tasia shakes Snow's hand introducing herself, "I have to be totally honest right now and don't get the wrong impression," she says looking towards the blonde woman, "But your mom's kinda cute." Both Emma and David laugh while Snow had a faint blush on her cheeks.
"I'm not gonna lie, my mind has been completely blown right now," Tasia says stepping back and looking at the Snow White, Prince Charming, their daughter, and grandson, "I'm looking at three generations of the White family," she brushes her bangs back amazed at what she's seeing, "Who else is in this town?"
Emma pats the younger woman's shoulder, "You'll meet them soon enough, no use in listing names here, there's too much to really say."
"I think I need to take a walk," Tasia says moving towards the exit of the station then turns her head to look at Snow and David, smiling kindly, "It was nice to meet you both. I'll see you folks around."
Snow jumps in, "We're having a gathering at Granny's tonight, perhaps you like to join us and meet the rest of the townsfolk?"
Tasia smiles and nods, "Thank you for the invite. I'll be there," she glances over at Henry and Emma, "I catch you two later."
"Thanks again for the ride Tasia," Henry says gratefully.
"Anytime kid," the younger brunette smiles and walks out to her truck, driving towards the direction of the forest.
Tasia parks along the side of the road and walks out into the forest. She follows a pathway that lead her to a clearing, there were boulders laid out in a circle and it was surrounded with pine trees. The brunette stood still in the middle of the clearing and closed her eyes, she thought of the rainforest back at home and imagine the soft sounds of the rain, it hasn't been a whole day and she already missed her home, she missed the smell of the salty breeze from the ocean, she missed her family. She missed her. Tasia opened her eyes and shook her head, sighing deeply. She suddenly had a need to let her pain out and there was only one way she knew how.
Hey Mr. Heartbreaker,
Do me a favor, stop making me cry 'cause I feel I ain't strong no more.
I need you to STOP right now,
'Cause I feel like I'm sinking down, with my pockets filled with stones,
And brick tied around me soul.
Ooh ooh I'm not the same, ooh ooh I'm not the same, ooh ooh I'm not the same.
Heey, hey Mr. Heartbreaker,
You know I used to be a fighter, but ever since you came into my life,
I can't find what's wrong from right.
Oooh you took the hope out of me,
I can't find any joy in anything, and all of the things that I used to enjoy,
I don't enjoy them no more.
Ooh ooh I'm not the same, ooh ooh I'm not the same, ooh ooh I'm not the same.
Everybody's wondering,
Where she gone, the girl that they used to know,
She don't live here no more.
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone.
Oooh ooh I'm not the same, I'm not the same, I'm not the same.
Tasia kneels down on the forest floor, breathing heavily. She no longer felt the need to cry, at least for today, who knows how long that will last being that her control of emotions is not very well.
"Hi…"
Tasia whips her head towards the voice only to find that it's the waitress at the diner. She had had on a black long sleeved blouse and wore dark blue jeans then to top it off the woman's long raven hair streaked with red was flowing out from a red hooded cape, "H-hi. Sorry, I didn't think anyone was here," the brunette says shyly.
"I'm Ruby," the raven haired beauty speaks. She was taking a walk in the woods herself when she heard the most heartbreaking, yet melodious voice she's ever heard. As if it was calling to her Ruby followed the voice and there she was, the woman from the diner. With so much sadness Ruby watched this woman fall to her knees in agony, and she felt her own heart break at the sight before her.
"Tasia…" the younger woman crosses her legs as she kept her seating on the ground, looking up at the blue eyed woman in front of her, "How are you feeling? Your grandmother says you've been over working yourself."
Ruby smiles, "Oh yeah totally, I just need some fresh air. I live and breathe Granny's diner."
Tasia couldn't help but smile back though it was barely visible to the human eye, and in Ruby's case she could see it enough to know that it's there and enough to make the raven haired beauty's heart flutter. She wants to see this woman's smile and she hopes to be the cause of that smile.
