Kate hadn't stopped thinking about Emma, about what she had done to get them allowed to leave. They were surprisingly similar, Kate realized. She also realized she owed Emma a favor. She had to talk to the others, but she believed a visit to Storybrooke was in order.
1 week later
"Henry, get back here!", Emma yelled. She was tired of running after her son. After Pan had nearly cast another curse, and they had stopped it, ironically using something their visitors had taught them, Henry had grown more and more energetic, to the point that it was difficult to keep track of him. Suddenly, a car drove up beside them. She looked over. Was that... no. It couldn't be. But it was. She was getting out now.
"Kate?"'
"Emma!"
"What are you doing here?"
"We realized we owed you a favor."
"We?"
Claire got out of the car as well, a little boy holding her hand. "Hi, Emma."
"Is this Aaron?"
"Yes, this is Aaron."
"Thanks for coming... is it just you three?"
"No one else wanted to come. They're all busy with their own lives."
"Well, probably a good idea. This is a crazy town. We've all nearly died several times since you left. We even went to Neverland for a week."
"Cool!"
"Not cool. Peter Pan is Rumpelstiltskin's father, not to mention a psycho maniac. It does explain a lot, though."
"Ok... Well, anyway, we felt we owed you a favor, so... anything you want?"'
"As of now, not really. But you could stay until the next crazy villain comes."
"They'll be another?"
"I'm sure of it. It does seem to be a side effect of my mom being pregnant, and she is again, so... "
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
"Where's Belle?", asked Claire. "I want to say hi."
"Probably in Gold's shop. They got married."
"Really? That's great!"
"Yeah."
They drove off, and Emma just smiled, completely and utterly confused.
A/N: Kind of a dumb reason, but they're back. Should I bring the others back as well, or keep it at just Kate, Claire, and Aaron? Review me with your thoughts!
