Chapter 2: Welcome to Canada

(Our World 13 Years Ago)

9:00 am at Minnesota USA, a whole new world for Ed and Adam, finally what they wanted, a successful life and now they were beginning their first project, the one that would make them more famous than ever in their lives. It was about everything that happened on the Enchanted Forest, their plan was being the next Walt Disney but unlike him, they would tell the stories as actually occurred.

Planning a program is really difficult and more in that strange world, they needed to make all of this but without revealing their secret identity or the one of the others who were spellbound. They hired musicians, designers, makeup artists, writers and everything necessary to carry out a high-level production, all the people of the fairytale land were hired as actors, everyone playing the person who had forgotten to be and the ones that were already died were played by real actors. Each of them had a successful live but their price was that everyone was lonely, being so near of their family but without remembering them.

Riley was so excited; it was her first day there. They got off the plane, took a taxi to the hotel, and while her adoptive parents were registered in the lobby Riley stared out the window, they were filming! She couldn´t believe what her eyes were watching, she was about a meter of them. The desire for adventure and be closer to them earned her and she ran from the hotel to the main street, her parents where making a romantic scene, everyone looked so happy but there where those guards against a tape that surrounded the entire area of filming , it was like a parade or worse, like a concert , so many people jostling and non-stop screaming, barely could see them, when suddenly, she saw her adoptive parents had already finished, and they had noticed her absence, they would be furious, so she decided to continue the adventure a little more, whatever, at the end of the day when they find her, probably they would be so angry that the journey would end there. "Why not enjoying my last moments?" she thought. They finished filming and all the actors where going in a large black car, she couldn´t let her opportunity wasted like that, so when the guards got distracted she jumped into the car and stayed hide in the back part during all the way.

Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz presented the argument to the channels but it was rejected because of its fantastic nature. They were so upset, how it could be fiction that? they saw how it happened all with their own eyes and they believed that those ignorant producers simply didn´t know of history and their unevolved brains didn´t understand, however, kept trying.

(2 Years Later)

It was 2004 and they had just conceived the series before joining the team of writers of Lost but they wanted to wait until the series ended to focus on this project, because it was the project of their lives and they did not want to spoil it, although it took time, they would be willing to wait whatever.

Riley waited for everyone to get out of the car so she wouldn´t get caught, luckily Ginny had forgotten her glasses and hat, that would help her to don´t get recognize. She left the car and followed the actors as if she was part of them. Some walked to an area full of trailers, it looked like it was there where they lived during the season of filming, and others were signing autographs. Riley took advantage that the guards cared for those who were with the crowd to follow the others to the trailers. Time was running out and soon they would notice that she did not belong, so she walked into a trailer that was open and hidden for a while.

Everything calmed down and Riley felt less scared, but when she looked out the window she saw something really heartbroken for her. She watched her parents, they had finished signing autographs and had returned to their trailer, which was next to where she had hidden, and there was Oliver, they had that gleam in their eyes for looking at him , he was running down the courtyard and they were playing with him, it was the perfect family, the family that was supposed to be hers, she wanted more than anything to be in Oliver´s position, she missed them both a lot and she just couldn´t resist; she took a deep breath and a tear came out of her eyes, then she started talking to herself wondering how all this could be happening to her, it was a sad moment, and she revealed all her true feelings.

Meanwhile, Jen Morrison was outside with a coffee in her hand, everyone was saying goodbye and when she finished she went to her trailer, where Riley was hiding, and she discovering that Riley was an interloper wasn't the biggest of her problems as Jennifer had heard all that Riley had said. She stood outside the door listening to everything and suddenly a wry smile appeared on her face, apparently she was up to something and this information was extremely valuable for her. Would she had memory or simply was ready to take Riley to a madhouse?
