Chapter 6: It Didn´t Happen as I Wondered

Ed and Adam were in their room reading stories, were very close each other and had a common interest in the books; They read of all kinds, from romantic novels to heroic action adventure stories. That day his father returned from ogres' war, they were so excited to reconnect with him.

Ed: Dad, Dad! You came back!

Adam: We missed you a lot, did you read our letters?

Tom: Yes, of course I read them and you have me very disappointed, you know what I went through? I´ve been humbled as never before.

Ed: Why? We worked hard and put our love in them.

Tom: Are you crazy?! I had to see how all soldiers received letters from their women, all told them not receive any for my wife died, and when I received your letters all mocked me. Never be men if you write as little girls.

Adam: But we love literature, in fact we want to be writers.

Tom: Over my dead body! You´ll go to war like me and die like male heroes.

It was 2:00 am in Vancouver, Jennifer stood quietly not to wake Riley, knew that if she found out she would go to the set would go mad; however, she was aware of what was happening, had an app to know when and what time they were filming apart, when she explored the whole place realized in the kitchen the shooting schedule of his sister was. She got up from bed, straightened and stood at the door insisting his sister to let her go.

Riley: Please let me go, I beg you, I 'll be good.

Jen: They don´t let anyone enter.

Riley: But I'm your sister and they won´t notice my presence...

They were discussing a while, but eventually convinced her to go.

The two brothers were heartbroken, wanted to show his father they could do something for humanity writing, so that night called the blue fairy waiting with all their strength she helped them with their dilemma.

Blue: Hi cute kids, I heard your wish.

Ed: And... Can you help?

Blue: Sure, but this doesn´t depend on me, if not yours.

She gives them a magic bean.

Adam: What's this?

Blue: This will take you to another world, very different from this, where they seek an author, someone to record the stories of this place for other worlds to know them. The author becomes the most powerful writer.

Ed: Woow! That will teach dad.

Blue: But you must know something, the author is chosen, make you a test to see if it´s your destiny.

Adam: I know it's our destiny.

The two take the magic bean and go to this adventure.

Riley and Jennifer were with Mr. Castro, Jen had dress rehearsal, while her sister stared at all the dresses. Soon ended and she had to go to the set of special effects but Riley wanted to stay, they asked permission to Eduardo and accepted with the condition that Riley was his temporary assistant.

Meanwhile, Jen was coming to the set with their lines and ready to work. It was a love scene with Colin, those were her favorites. Now that no one remembered what happened before the spell was very painful and uncomfortable to be with him, she missed him with all her soul and those little scenes were the only legal way to kiss him now that he was married.

Suddenly the lights went out, she was in Storybrooke again walking on a starry night, she forgot quickly that she was acting, everything looked so real and when she saw her lover even more, looking at her with love, as he used to do. They recorded that scene 58 times for hours, people were disappearing and they were left alone at the end practicing for the next session.

(Our World Time Ago)

The brothers entered a room where there was a man with a white beard, that world was so mysterious, tall buildings, glass square balls not know what to do.

Apprentice: Good day. How can I help you?

Adam: We came from far away for the author's work.

Apprentice: I understand, sit and take a pen.

So they did.

Apprentice: Look, I know you are very good at writing but this is a very special work and unfortunately you don´t choose it, it chooses you, is not enough to be talented and apparently has not chosen you, I'm so sorry.

Ed: How? Why?

Apprentice: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but someone else has already taken place.

Adam: Who?

Apprentice: His name is Walt, a boy your age who came a few days ago, he is the chosen one.

Children were disillusioned home with their shattered dream, it didn't happen as they wondered.

Ed: I won´t give up, we´ll be authors if it is the last thing we do.

Adam: Yes, we´ll be

Castro was arranging a jacket when one of his assistants came.

Assistant: Sir, there´re bad news.

He shows the dress that Jen Morrison used at the end of season 3 in the dance scene with Killian; the dress had shrunk in the washer machine!

Riley laughs, is identical to that seen on TV but in miniature. Eduardo Castro thought what to do, the dress wouldn´t use it again and it didn´t fit anymore to the actress, but her sister yes.

Castro: You know girl, this dress is no longer useful, do you want it? if not we´ll throw it away.

Riley: Of course! Can I try it?

Castro: No doubt! It´s yours.

Riley tested the dress, she looked great, everyone in the room was looking at her and more important people than she expected looked back. Hidden Ed and Adam realized something invaluable, the birthmark that Jennifer Morrison has on her chest she also has it, those kind of things you don´t share them with a cousin if not with sisters. Now they knew she was the savior and it was obvious that spending time with Jen she was aware of who she really was.

They appeared cordially but suspiciously to the room and called Riley. Was so afraid to go but also to refuse so she followed them.

Moving away from the others guided her into a room where she was held and offered a very difficult to refuse treatment. All was a mess; it didn't happen as she wondered.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was still talking to Colin, she had forgotten all about her sister. Nothing mattered in her head rather than what was happening at the time.

Colin: It's getting late and still not finished.

Jen: I know but this part is very complicated.

Colin: I'm so sorry but I must go, I can´t walk the streets so late, I promised my wife.

Jen: If you want I can accompany you and keep trying this script, your trailer is close to mine.

What she'd done? Was she inviting herself to the house of a married man that was completely in love with? She couldn´t control herself and technically she was her wife first.

Colin: Okay, come with me.

They left the set and took a taxi, it was raining but luckily Colin brought his umbrella.

Colin: Welcome to my temporary home.

Jen: It's very nice.

Colin: Thank you, want something to drink?

Jen: Yes, please.

They sat talking for a while taking a bit of rum. Jennifer approached him and laughed.

Colin: What's so funny?

Jen: Rum, I'm drinking rum with Captain Hook.

Colin captures the joke and laughs with her.

Colin: It's funny but I think I like so much rum as Hook.

Jen didn´t resist her impulses and gave him a kiss.

Jen: I'm sorry.

Colin returns the kiss even more passionate, they run to bed and forget everything. It didn't happen as she wondered, but it happened and the next morning she would have to see how to solve her secret adventure with Colin and how to take back Riley that now is kidnapped.
