"Emma, what you're planning is a rebellion," said Neal, "Whether or not the cause is righteous."
"Neal, if I was a queen and died, wouldn't you want Henry to have the throne?"
"Yes, but, you're not, Emma."
"I should be. I would have been, had my mother not given our kingdom to Regina."
"Emma, you're not planning to overthrow Regina, are you?"
"No, Neal, of course not. Remember what she did to me last time? I don't even want to imagine Henry getting hurt. But I am going to help Christine."
"You really care about this one, huh?"
"No, Neal. It's just a job."
"Sure it is."
"Emma!"
"Yes Neal?"
"Can you help me? Allie's being difficult again."
Emma sighed. "Sure." Allie was Neal's 3-year-old daughter.
After she had been calmed down, Emma asked her brother, "Neal? Do you ever wonder what it would have been like to have been raised as royalty?"
"Yeah, of course. But then I wouldn't have met Rachel and had Allie, and you probably wouldn't have had Henry. This is our life, and I love it."
"Yeah, me too. It's just an interesting thought."
"Sure is."
"Do you have any ideas about how to help Christine?"
"Yes, but it's not a great plan."
"What?"
"Well, the guy just died, and he was a king. So, there's probably going to be some big state funeral."
"And?"
"A gathering of all the important people in the kingdom. What better place to stage a rebellion?"
"Neal, that's a brilliant plan!"
"Um... thanks, I guess."
"Let's go tell the others."
