Author's Note:I know I'm late, but my teachers seem to to find it fun to give more work at the end of the year. Good thing is, I only have two weeks left, so I'll have more time to write. This chapter takes place in Storybrook, and I'll probably switch back and forth between worlds from now on. Enjoy!
"But Emma!"
Emma Swan looked down at her son."No buts, kid. Time to go. Regina will have my head if your not home."
Henry sighed and grabbed his bag and book."She's the Evil Queen, remember? She'd take your heart first."
Surprisingly, the sheriff laughed and walked the boy to the door. Emma shut it behind him and waited. After a few minutes, there was a knock. Emma opened the door and saw Ruby on the other side.
"All clear?"
"Yep."Emma opened the door fully."You got everything?"
"Do you even have to ask?"The red wearing girl walked in with her arms full of bags followed by Ashley and Annabelle."I even went and picked up the old ladies."
"Hey! Just because we're in stable relationships does not make is old ladies,"Ashley said.
"Yes it does. Where is your man anyway?"
"He finally managed to get some leave time and wanted to spend some of it with his daughter."
"That's sweet,"Mary Margret said as she came out of her room.
"Yeah, and I'm happy he did. He's off for a week, and he's been smothering me."
"I recall you complaining the day he proposed that he wasn't around enough,"Emma said as she made the popcorn."Now, he's around too much?"
"That does sound bad, huh?"
"Completely,"MM agreed."What about you Annie? What's Gold doing without you at home?"
"Knowing him, he's probably at the shop still. He hates going home without me there. At least Draco can keep him company."
"I think I speak for the people when I thank you for settling down with the man,"Ruby said."Thanks to you, he's mellowed out a bit."
The other girl laughed and stole the bowl of popcorn before heading towards the couch."I try. Now what have you got for entertainment? This was your idea."
"It's in one of the bags."
Emma looked in the second bag and pulled out a DVD case."The Full Monty? What's this?"
"I found it in Granny's attic. I've never seen it, so I figured it would be good to watch."
The other shrugged and grabbed their preferred snacks and drinks. The couch and floor spaces were then filled, and Ruby put the movie in.
20 Minutes Later
"Holy shit!"Ruby stopped the movie quickly."It's Mr. Gold!"
Emma looked at her, worried for her sanity."What?"
Ruby rewound it again."Look! I didn't see it before, but he looks just like Gold only younger."
The girls watched the scene again, and they soon came to an agreement. Gaz was Mr. Gold.
"Damn Annie,"Ashley said."Does he still look like that?"
Annabelle turned beet red bowed her head."I'm not telling a thing."Yes
"Aren't you getting married?"MM asked.
"Yes, but it doesn't mean I can't appreciate a nice ass when I see one."
Ruby raised her glass."Here, here. He's older now, but I see why you bagged him Annie."
The girl in question buried her face in her hands. There was no denying it. The man on the screen was a dead ringer for her man."Just start the movie."
1 Hour Later
The credits rolled, and Ruby exclaimed,"Sweet Jesus!"
The other three girls ended up looking like the three wise monkeys. Ashley covered her mouth in shock, Mary Margret covered her ears, not wanting to hear any more, and Emma covered her eyes.
"Is it over?"Emma asked.
"Yeah,"said Annie slightly dazed."It's over."
One by one the girls moved their hands away, and MM shuddered."I'm never going to get that image out of my head!"
"I don't think I'll ever look at Mr. Gold the same way again,"Ashley agreed.
"We hide the movie and never speak of this again,"said Emma."Agreed?"
They all nodded. Quietly, they all cleaned up the room and shuffled out mumbling 'goodnight'.
Emma and Mary Margret looked at each other silently then at the TV. Both twitched slightly before hurrying tho their rooms.
The Next Day
Business in Storybrook went on as normal. It was now the third Sunday of the month. All the business owners knew what it meant as well. Rent Day. Mr. Gold usually made his rounds in the morning in random order, but now he'd wait until lunch time to visit Granny. Mr. Gold stopped outside to diner and looked at the dog that had followed him all morning.
"Stay."
He knew Draco really didn't need to be ordered, but he did it anyway. The Golden Shepard(Golden Retriever+German Shepard) rested his head on his paws and closed his eyes. Gold smiled a bit before entering.
For five women in the diner, time stopped. Emma nearly choked while Mary Margret and Ashley avoided his gaze. Though he was used to strange looks, Mr. Gold was slightly confused. What had he done this time? He soon shrugged it off and took a seat on a stool beside Annabelle who greeted him with a kiss.
"Afternoon, love. Has something happened that I should know about?"
Belle froze for a second."No. Not that I know of. Why?"
"No reason."
Ruby came out of the kitchen, saw Gold, and immediately walked right back in. Inside the kitchen, there was radio that could broadcast through the entire dinner, and she practically ran to it. Emma had made them agree not to bring up the movie, but she hadn't said a thing about the soundtrack. Ruby grabbed the money for Mr. Gold and went to track 2.

Where you from?
You sexy thing(You sexy thing you)
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing
Four sets of eyes widened, and three women bolted from the diner. Draco cracked an eye opened and listened to the laughter coming from down the street. Inside, Ruby came back out, with a surprisingly straight face, and gave a very confused Mr. Gold his money."Anything else?"
The man looked at here as if she'd grown another head."No, dear. That'll be all."
"Don't listen to him, Ruby. He skipped breakfast on me this morning. Give him a BLT."
"Right."
Ruby left with smile, and Gold looked at his wife."Are you sure there's nothing going on?"
TBC
I regret nothing! I had to do it. If you want to see the scene where Robert strips(sort of)remove the spaces and go here.
