Chapter 5: My Dear Snow White

(February 14th 2011, L.A)

A sweet morning in California, Josh Dallas was going for a coffee to Clifton´s Cafeteria, his wife had traveled to London and was lonely. Ginnifer Goodwin had a date with her boyfriend Joey Kern, but still hadn´t arrived. Both were choosing their desserts and stood face to face.

Since the first second they saw each other got in love deeply. They kept looking at themselves, had so much chemistry and were so spellbound, even Josh accidentally spilled his coffee on Ginnifer´s blouse, because he was so distracted with her.

-Josh: Hello my name is Josh, I'm so sorry about your blouse, is a shame to ruin it if you looked that good.

-Ginny: Thank you, don´t worry. Sorry, I know you? You make me well known.

-Josh: Yes, it´s as if we already knew each other, but couldn´t remember.

-Ginny: Maybe in another life.

She smiled and gave a sweet laugh

Josh laughed with her and didn´t stop to admire her beauty.

-Josh: Well 'm an actor, maybe that's why you make me well known.

-Ginny: I am also an actress, that must be!

-Josh: How ungentlemanly I´ve been, take my jacket, you can´t go with that spot all day.

-Ginny: Thanks, but how I give it you back?

Josh gives her a slip of paper.

-Josh: My number, so you could give it back, or if you want to keep it is okay, call for what you want. I will always find you.

-Ginny: Almost believed you.

They looked directly at the eyes and smile, they were so in love that it was like if they were the only ones in the universe.

-Josh: and why a beautiful lady like you is so lonely on Valentine´s Day?

-Ginny: I had a date but apparently he had forgotten.

-Josh: What a jerk who forgot you.

-Ginny: Is my boyfriend.

Josh: Oh, sorry. My wife is in London, I´m lonely too.

-Ginny: I'm so sorry, know the feeling so well.

Josh: Would you like to come along? So this day we won´t be alone.

Ginny: Sure, that sounds great.

Time flew, they talked for hours and then Ginny accompanied him to his apartment, it wasn´t appropriate but it was impossible to hide their love, and that February 14th both found true love.

-Riley gets up, barely remembers what happened the day before, she goes to the kitchen and finds her sister making hot cakes.

-Jen: Good morning, how does my sister slept?

-Riley: Excellent! and mine?

-Jen: Awesome! ready for operation peacock?

-Riley: Absolutely, there´s only one problem... my parents.

-Jen: what´s wrong with mom and dad?

-Riley: No, I mean my adoptive parents.

-Jen: Wait ... you´re adopted?

-Riley: Yes, but it´s not what you think, they don´t understand me. The problem is that I escaped, and don´t think take long to find me.

-Jen: I understand, but what you want to do?

-Riley: We need to win time, delay them with something for me to stay longer and can break the spell.

-Jen: Don´t you think it's a bit cruel hide from them, I know what´s to lose a child, they must be very worried.

-Riley: I don´t mean to keep them out of finding me, they need to be distracted and can´t get out of town so I can be here.

-Jen: But what we do, that´s very complicated.

-Riley: um... Got it! Remembered we planned to restore Robert´s memory? Why we don´t ask him for help?

-Jen: Sounds like a good plan! dress up, we're late.

(May 22nd, L.A)

Two months passed, Josh and Ginnifer couldn´t controlled themselves and began dating secretly, everything was a disaster, they hadn´t communicated yet their other couples about their romance, and now Ginny was engaged with Joey, but they were waiting for the right moment.

Josh called her lover on the phone outside her apartment.

-Josh: Hey, Joey Kern is with you?

-Ginny: No, I find myself alone, why?

-Josh: Lara is shooting, I find outside your apartment, open me please?

Ginnifer was glad that he was there, there wasn´t better way to start this special day, she brushed her hair a little and opened the door.

-Ginny: Hi sweetheart, how´s your day?

-Josh: Wonderful, and the birthday girl´s?

-Ginny: Excellent now that you are here.

-Josh: Hey, I received a letter, apparently I´m wanted in a new program. I waited to open it with you.

-Ginny: Congratulations! I love you so much!

Ginnifer gives him a passionate kiss and takes the letter.

-Ginny: Could I?

-Josh: Of course!

Ginny opens the letter and both read it, there is a new program called Once Upon a Time, where they offered Josh the role of Prince Charming.

-Ginny: Wow, I think Snow White is very lucky.

-Josh: I don´t think so, I won´t accept.

-Ginny: Why? this is an incredible opportunity.

-Josh: I don´t like so much fairy tales, there is sure someone more suitable for the role.

Suddenly, the doorbell rings.

-Mailman: Mail for Miss Goodwin!

-Ginny: Going!

He gives a couple of letters and goes. She takes randomly one.

-Ginny: Look! apparently I also have a job, let's look out.

This time Josh opened the envelope, and to his surprise was the same program, her girlfriend is invited to be the known Snow White.

-Josh: It seems that destiny wants me in this, because it put me a very difficult offer to refuse.

-Ginny: What are you talking about honey?

Ginnifer picks the letter and discovers what her handsome boyfriend was trying to say.

-Ginny: I know how to convince you! today is my birthday and I already know what I want as gift.

-Josh: just ask and yours will be, my love.

-Ginny: Well, if you insist... you, me, Disneyland, now.

-Josh: Now?! Don´t you prefer Paris or the moon?

-Ginny: Ha, ha, so funny. Disneyland or nothing.

-Josh: Well, but stays clear that I do it for you.

-Ginny: Trust me, you won´t regret...

The two sisters go to Robert´s trailer and knock on the door.

Jen: Hi I'm Jen, I´m with a friend who wants to meet you. Could you open me please?

Robert: I'm...

Robert opens the door and invites them to enter, he didn´t know who the girl next to Jen was but what does he could lose?

Riley: Hello, my name is Riley!

Robert was paralyzed, suddenly remembers everything! but he didn´t know what to do, so he just smiles and replies: "Riley, what a lovely name"

Jennifer recalls the episode where Regina threatens to know if he remembered, and came to do the same but less macabre.

Jen: and... how are you, something new? Some memories came to your mind?

Robert suspected something, but wasn´t so sure. Riley and Jen were sisters but he didn´t know if they knew it.

-Robert: Riley… and what brings you here, believe in magic?

Riley immediately knew and wanted to take risk, on the other hand Jennifer wanted to be sure, she needed more proves to do this.

Riley: and you believe?

Jennifer was admired, this was really dangerous, didn´t know why Riley threw herself to that. She attempted to stop her but it was too late.

Robert: I asked first, but I think as much as you.

Riley couldn´t resisted and she started...

Riley: Look, I know you are the real Mr. Gold and that you remembered all by hearing my name.

Jennifer tried to save it.

Jen: Oh yes! is all part of the script, Riley is aspiring actress, this is part of her script.

-Robert: I see faith is still absent with you despite everything, Miss Swan. All true Riley, the question is: why returning my memory? I´m the most terrible villain, find your decision quite unintelligent, dearies.

-Riley: If I´m not mistaken, I heard you are a deal man. Well, I gave you back your memory, in return for this, help us. That´s the deal dearie.

Robert lets out a giggle, the same as Rumple´s, apparently miss who he was.

-Robert: I never accepted the deal, but I appreciate your bold intelligence, and well, I want to make the 2 idiots repay for using my curse without asking.

-Jen: We need to delay Riley´s adoptive parents, so they´ll stay longer in this town and we can break the spell. Other thing, NO MALEVOLENT TRICKS, understood? I don´t want to hurt them, Riley loves them, only delay them.

-Robert: Augh! That´s why I don´t work with heroes, so naive. Things work out the hard way, you have to play dirty, if not it doesn´t work but as you said, just know might go wrong. Give you a month, I´ll retain your parents in this small town for a month, breaking the spell is your problem and if the month passes and you haven´t break the curse, it isn´t my problem any longer dearies.

Ginnifer and Josh were so happy to finally spend time as a couple.

-Josh: This is the best day of my life!

He said throwing his arms in the air.

"We're totally getting married" Ginnifer thought and replied with a sweet smile.

-Ginny: and mine.

Soon began to get dark and it was time to go home. Returning to the apartment Josh surprised her with a gift around rose petals on her bed. It was a beautiful diamond necklace. Ginny thanked him so much, she was delighted and more in love every second. That night the loved each other as if there were no tomorrow.

-Josh: Accept, I'll be your Prince Charming forever my dear Snow White.

And they kissed each other until sunrise.
