"Awesome" Willa whispered to herself, "so where exactly are we?" she asked, creating conversation with her enemy.

"The Court of Miracles" Frollo answered, staring her down with an evil grin.

"Naturally" Willa shrugged, "so am I to wait here until you figure out what you're going to do next? Feel free to fill me in."

Frollo groaned, "Why should I?"

Willa grinned, "You're new. It's how you do things. You tell us your plan, we defeat you in the end, it's tradition, don't want to go breaking it now do you?"

"Fine. As I already explained, we plan to leave Finn out of this whole little gathering and hope for the best."

"That's your plan?" Willa questioned.

"Look little girl, I'm not the one in charge," Frollo, frustrated with the 20 questions, said.

"Obviously" Willa snapped back.

"Well, if that's how you feel, let me just go get the boss" he said, with an evil grin.

Willa sighed, realizing she'd said too much and hoped she wouldn't regret her snippy mood.

…..

Finn awoke suddenly. He really couldn't explain what made him awake so randomly. His mind went back to Philby's call that he'd never responded to, and the reason he didn't as he turned to smile at his beautiful wife.

Finn had no desire to wake her up, for she looked much too peaceful with a slight smile on her face. He could've stayed there all day with no complaints, but felt as if he owed it to Philby to find out what his call was about.

Finn got out of bed as quietly as he could, but he was unsuccessful at his attempt to not alert Amanda as she began to stir.

"Where are you going?" she asked sleepily.

"Just to call Philby" Finn answered, leaning down to kiss her and offered a smile, which she gladly returned.

"Ok" she whispered, glad to have a few extra minutes to sleep.

Finn kept the smile on his face while he watched Amanda slip into a deep sleep as his mind drifted back to the night before. He really couldn't describe how he felt, just that it'd made both of them very happy, and stress free for the first time since they'd met.

…..

Philby reached the apartment after checking to see if anyone had noticed his haste to arrive at his destination.

"Ok, where would Wayne hide this thing…" he said to himself. Wayne had hinted the apartment, but hadn't given any specifics so he actually had to use his brilliant mind.

"Wayne Wayne Wayne, you old fart, where'd you hide it" his thought process was interrupted by his phone ringing with Finn's ringtone, as he instantly felt horrible for calling on the man's honeymoon.

"Hey Finn, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have called you…"

"No no, it's fine" Finn said quickly.

"Well in that case, what took you so long!?" Philby lost it with the sudden realization that Willa wasn't beside him, panicking as she normally would.

"Well…if you must know…" Finn paused for dramatic effect, hoping Philby would get the hint without spelling it out for him.

"Really?" Philby forgot his troubles and grinned to himself, "bout time."

"Shut up, anyway, what's up?"

Philby noticed for the first time since picking up the phone that Finn had been whispering. He automatically assumed this was because Amanda was still asleep. He grinned again before going into a range.

"Willa's gone, went to Wayne for help and am at the apartment to search for where Emergency Plan B would be, got any ideas?!"

"Wo, what?! Back up, what exactly happened to Willa?" Finn said, joining his best man in panic.

"I don't really know dude but it got all smoky and dark and she screamed and disappeared!"

"Sounds a lot like what happened on prom night…" Finn said, remembered how Captain Hook had taken Amanda. He sighed as he stole a glance at his wife, and how that was the night he promised himself he'd do anything for her and the Keepers, even if it meant giving up their honeymoon.

…..

Philby hung up with Finn promising he'd be there asap, and told him to just search the place as best he could, for he hadn't a clue where Wayne would've hidden it.

He suddenly realized how weird things were without Finn, which really got him wondering how they were going to survive till he got back.

…..

"Amanda" Finn whispered in her ear, shaking her slightly, "Amanda."

Finn heard her sigh, assuming she had overheard his conversation on the phone even though he'd been whispering. "I'll be ready in a few minutes, just let me refresh a little in the bathroom," she said quietly, opening her eyes to give Finn a sympathetic look.

The look in her eyes almost broke Finn's heart to the point where he almost called Philby to say he was on his own, but he knew that wasn't an option.

"It's fine, really Finn" Amanda said, knowing what Finn was thinking.

"It'll never be fine," Finn said, giving her one of his famous "looks" that he knew she hated cause it always involved something bad.

"You're right, it never will be, but it's our life and we can't ignore it," she said softly, knowing Finn couldn't disagree with her as much as she wanted him too. Amanda sat up and reached out to touch his cheek and kissed him. "Don't worry about this, please, you have enough on your mind." Finn watched her walk away and wished with all his heart he could go back to last night before Philby's call and freeze time.

…..

"It's not very busy today, did you noticed that?" Maybeck mentioned to Charlene as they took their seat by the window at Tony's.

"Yeah, strange for summer" she acknowledged.

"Oh well, makes for a quiet, relaxing dinner with my girl" Maybeck smiled and winked.

"You're such a flirt" Charlene rolled her eyes, trying not to show how he could still make her blush.

"And that's why you still agree to marry me" Maybeck was convinced.

Charlene giggled as she stole a glance at the sun starting to set the slightest bit to showcase the beauty of the park. She took a double take when she saw a figure running down a staircase and down Main Street. She really didn't understand why anyone would be rushing, especially when there wasn't the regular crowd at the park.

"What's up Charlie?" Maybeck asked, noticing the sudden silence.

"I just saw someone go off into a full on sprint down Main Street from that staircase over there," she said as she pointed.

"That staircase?!" Maybeck exclaimed.

"Yes, why? Does it mean something to you?" Charlene asked.

"It doesn't to you?" Maybeck asked, surprised.

"Should it?"

"If I remember correctly, and it's not like it's been long, isn't that the entrance to the apartment?" he whispered, realizing he didn't desire an audience after freaking out already. Charlene's eyes got huge, remembering that they'd never really gone through the most obvious entrance but through the back.

"Let's go" Maybeck said quietly, yet sharply as they raced out the door in the direction Charlene advised.

…..

Willa waited impatiently for Maleficent to show up, not exactly looking forward to the reunion, but not fearing it either. She just wanted to go home, put her feet up, and beg Philby for a foot rub.

"They would wait until I was pregnant" she huffed loudly, hoping this would trigger someone to appear to her so she wouldn't be by herself. She had to admit; being with a nonthreatening OT was better than being by herself, especially in the dark.

"I warn you, she likes to ask questions," Frollo said, slowly approaching with someone beside him.

"Hello Willa," a chilling voice said, causing Willa to gasp in surprise, "funny we should meet like this again."
