"Belle, dear?" Rumpelstiltskin called out.

It was a warm sunny day, the birds were chirping, and the people in town were happy. Rumpelstiltskin was no longer feared, but he was still hated by some.

"I'm outside Rumpel!" Belle called back.

Belle sat outside on a stump and was spotlighted by a beam of sun. She wore a blue dress and brown boots. Her beautiful brown curls reflected the sun in the perfect ways. She gazed at the wild and admired it.

"I was just admiring the beauty of this day," Belle said happily.

"The only beauty I see is sitting right here," Rumpel replied.

"Aw, thanks Rumpel. What's up?"

"I fear it's the worst. The dark ones have taken Zelena, one of the knights from Regina's castle just came here to warn us."

"Do we have to leave?"

"I fear so."

"Rumpel, you can't be the coward you were. You must face your fears like you did in Storybrooke, when you fought the bear to save me. You need to find that courage again. We can't keep running every time you suspect Ki-Hook might know where we are."

"Yes, but Merida was a person who had emotions. Hook, he's just out for revenge."

"Fine, we can run, but this has to be the last time."

"Thank you Belle, let's pack our stuff."

"No, we should attack from here." Grumpy argued.

A team was assembled around a wooden circle table. Figurines and a Dark One Castle figurine laid on the table. Charming had made the decision that it was time Killian and Emma were captured. All he could think was "Am I being a good father? I must be making the right choice, it's for the greater good."

"No this is much more tactical, that's just going to be plain suicide. We need to attack from all sides, seeing as there will only be at most three of them," Granny explained.

"I agree we must use what they have as weaknesses to our advantage." Charming said.

"How do we know they don't have more people helping them?" Dopey asked.

"We don't," Grumpy replied.

"Well, we have to attack before they get stronger or wreak more havoc. They might've paused for now, but they must be planning something," Red said.

"I'll send a message to Robin and the knights at Regina's castle," David said.

Snow would be very angry if she heard what Charming decided, but would she be able to forgive him?

Killian and Emma sat across from each other at an enchanted circle table. An image appeared on the round table of David, Grumpy, and others Emma used to call friends. Now, Emma knew what they really wanted, and she couldn't let them have it.

"I guess my father always wanted to keep me from my potential," Emma said.

"Your father never did like me," Killian joked.

The image on the table swirled as Emma waved her hand above it, and then it showed Rumpelstiltskin and Belle.

"The crocodile will always be a coward," Killian sneered.

"Are we going to let him go again? Or are we going to go after him?" Emma asked.

"We should just send Regina out for him."

"Zelena!" Emma called out.

"What? Regina and I were just about to have some fun," Zelena said as she appeared in green smoke with Regina.

"We need Regina to do something love, so will you please give us her heart for a while," Killian said.

"Seriously, I was enjoying myself, but it's not like I have a choice. Here," Zelena said as she handed Killian Regina's heart.

"Thank you," Killian said.
