PIXIE HOLLOW, NEVER LAND (The Late Restoration Period on the Mainland)

Vidia was brought before Queen Clarion. The fast flyer, noted for having a high opinion of herself, had made several disparaging remarks to members of the Tinker Talent Guild. After numerous encounters, the guild overseer for the Tinkers, Fairy Mary, decided it was time to bring matters to the queen.

Clarion read through a laundry list of complaints against the Vidia. She had constantly harassed members of the tinker guild. She claimed they worked in a ditch, smelled badly at all times, dressed shamefully, possessed no real magic or talent of their own, referred to them as unnecessary and made unfavorable comparisons to the clumsy humans who lived on the mainland.

The queen was at a loss for words. No fairy in all of Pixie Hollow had shown such contempt for other guilds before. When Vidia first arrived, she had made a rather rude and blunt comment to the queen. Clarion had laughed it off then. Now it seemed that it was a mere sample of Vidia's snobbish and egotistical personality.

"I have never heard of such disgraceful behavior in my rule as queen," Clarion told the scowling flyer. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I was just telling the truth," Vidia replied bluntly. "The Tinkers are an inferior caste."

"No one in Pixie Hollow is inferior," Clarion responded. "Every individual fairy is equal. Each talent guild is equal."

"Don't be so certain," Vidia answered. "Fast flyers are the fastest guild. If everyone is so 'equal' why can't everyone fly as fast as we do?"

"There is a difference between inequality of talent and equality of person, Vidia," Clarion responded. "Each and every fairy and sparrow man is treated as equals. They are equal under the law and are due the same respect and dignity as everyone else."

"Hmmph," was all Vidia would say in response.

Just then Festus entered the room. He bowed to the queen and apologized for the intrusion. "My queen, there seems to be a misunderstanding. You see, we were just having a little fun at Vidia's expense."

Queen Clarion quirked a suspicious eyebrow. Festus, while a dependable fast flyer, could be a bit of a troublemaker himself. Though nothing as notoriously awful as what Vidia had been accused of. Several Tinker fairies and even Fairy Mary herself were present for this preliminary inquisition. They had all made numerous claims, verified by others, of Vidia's hurtful remarks.

"What do you mean, 'having a little fun,' Festus?" the queen asked, looking as unamused as possible. "And just who is 'we'?"

"Well, really it was just me," Festus clarified. "Not long after Vidia arrived, I and a couple of the other blokes did the usual hazing rituals. Then she and I had a couple of drinks, and I made a few off color jokes about the Tinker Guild. It got plenty of laughs from the fellows. Mind you, I don't actually believe any of it myself. I have great respect for the Tinkers. They are a wonderful guild. But, we are the fast flyers and we sometimes do have a high opinion of ourselves."

"A little too high, if you ask me," Fairy Mary rebuked.

"Thank you, Mary," Clarion said firmly, yet gently.

"Well, to be honest I didn't think Vidia would take any of it to heart," Festus continued. "I thought she would just laugh it off just like the rest of us."

"Would that include Swift?" Clarion asked.

"Oh no, Swift is very upstanding," Festus said, artfully lying. "I always tell him it's just a little harmless one upmanship, but he is a lot like you, Your Highness. Never likes it when our playful banter gets out of hand."

"I see," Clarion replied succinctly. "Is this the truth, Vidia?"

"Uh…, yeah. I guess I mistook what they were saying as the truth," she answered. "I'm sorry if I said anything wrong."

Clarion turned to Fairy Mary, who seemed to accept Vidia's apology.

"Oh very well," the chubby guild master answered. "We're not above the occasional slight of other guilds ourselves. Not that we make a habit of it, mind you," Fairy Mary added with a wink to the queen. "We'll just let bygones be bygones."

With that, the situation was concluded and Vidia was allowed to go free, though with a stern warning from the queen about treating others as equals.

STORYBROOKE, MAINE

Claire was busy dressing for her date with Hartley. Tina was sitting in front of the television with Clarence. They were watching a reality television show.

"Oh, no, sweetheart, don't watch that," Claire grabbed the remote and tapped in a new station.

"The Disney Channel?" Tina complained. "Mom, this is for babies."

"But you always used to watch it," Claire said.

"They haven't had anything good on since Kim Possible went off the air," she said.

Then from the television speaker came:

There's 104 days of summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it

"Ooh, Phineas and Ferb," Tina said gleefully. "I love this show."

Claire smiled, though with a mixture of eye rolling and head shaking.

In the kitchen, Valerie was sulking. She resented needing a sitter. At age 24 she was old enough to take care of herself, without the need for adult supervision. Or in this case, teenaged supervision.

Claire tried to calm her bruised ego by saying, "It's really more for Tina. I know you don't need anyone to watch over you."

"Then why didn't you ask me to sit my little sister?" Valerie spat.

"Would you have said 'yes'?"

"No."

"That's why I hired a sitter."

Nevertheless, it stung Valerie to know that she was never asked. A little acknowledgement that Claire at least thought she was capable of this responsibility would have been nice. Though she never told that to her mother. Instead, she just sulked even more. As far as Valerie was concerned, Claire never listened; she just gave orders and made belittling remarks.

When Hartley arrived, he found his date dressed in a lovely black dress. She looked stunning, something he said to her quite emphatically. The high neckline and just above the knee hem with black stockings and high heel shoes gave her a look that was both fetching and mysterious, yet properly conservative.

The mother of two still needed to set a good example for her girls.

"I'll be back in a few hours," she told Tina and Clarence. Valerie just grunted from the kitchen. "Be good."

"We will, Mom," Tina said cheerily.

"They're in good hands, Mrs. Kensington," Clarence added.

"Thank you, Clarence." Not that she really needed to hear it from him, but it was reassuring. Claire grabbed her wrap to guard against the autumn chill and left with her handsome date.

~O~

Less than twenty minutes passed when Valerie left the house to take another joy ride on her bike. Clarence tried to talk her out of it, but she refused to listen. He at least got her to agree not to break the speed limit and be back at a reasonable hour. Like, before Mrs. Kensington returned home.

"If you're gone, I'm a goner," he summarized.

Valerie pinched his cheek and then patted it, like an aunt would to a young nephew. "Ooh, don't you worry. I'll be home before Mommy finds out what's been going on behind her back." She then roared off into the night on her Harley Davidson.

Truthfully, Valerie had to be back before her mother. If she were out too late again or was picked up by the Sheriff, Claire would confiscate the motorcycle and lock it away. Val couldn't let that happen. Instead, she told Clarence that she was going on a joy ride when she was really going to see Kyle. There was no other way out of this house and out of this town without his money and assistance. After last time, though, Val wasn't sure he would even acknowledge her.

She was fully reassured when Kyle greeted her at the door with a hug and a big, wet and messy kiss.

"I need a way out," she told him.

"Stay here," he answered.

"No, I have to get out of this town," she replied. "But I need your help to do it."

~O~

At Granny's Diner, Sheriff Graham was tossing darts at a board with a picture of a deer on it. Every dart hit its mark. Sydney Glass, the reporter was watching in awe. He even placed a bet that Graham couldn't hit his target with the next dart. Good luck has to run out sooner or later. It was later, the dart was perfectly thrown and hit its mark with uncanny precision.

Emma walked in on the dart game, but had no desire to talk to Graham. She had been avoiding him all day long. Graham was upset by this and followed her out of the diner and into the chilly autumn night. He tried to explain that he felt nothing between himself and Regina. Emma didn't really care to hear it.

Graham was caught in a bad relationship. What else was there to say?

Then Sheriff Graham did something completely unexpected. He kissed her. When he did, Graham saw a wolf. A wolf with one red eye and one dark eye. Emma pushed him away. She was disappointed in him before, now she was upset. Frustrated, Graham went to Regina's house to sleep with her again. After sex, he falls asleep and dreams of a wolf and a deer. The dream awakens him in the middle of the night. The images were so powerful that he tells Regina it felt more like a memory.

Regina, like Emma, refuses to believe him. He leaves, thoroughly confused by his strange vision. At his car, Graham is shocked to find that very same wolf standing in the street, staring back at him. The wolf runs off. Graham decides to pursue it.

THE ENCHANTED FOREST

Snow White's father is dead. She grieves at his sarcophagus. Snow and her stepmother, the queen, comfort each other. The queen has lost her beloved husband, a pain she feels as deeply as her stepdaughter.

Later, when Regina enters her private chambers, she spits with anger at her enchanted mirror. She killed the king and must now find a way to remove Snow White, as well. However, no one can know of her handiwork. The people of the kingdom loved their King and they love Snow White. Killing Snow outright would alienate Queen Regina from the people she wanted to rule.

She needed someone to do the dirty work for her. Someone who was a ruthless killer. What she needed was a huntsman. The mirror, at the queen's request, showed her a likely candidate. A tall and handsome man with a strong accent and true talent for killing.

The Huntsman is ridiculed by others at a local tavern. He mourns the loss of the animals he kills. And he finds companionship with a wolf. A wolf with one red eye and one dark eye. The creature is loyal and brave and honorable. Which is more than he can say about most humans.

The queen likes what she sees and orders her guards to bring him to her. The huntsman's task will be a simple one. Take Snow out on a walk. He will be dressed as one of the king's knights. He is then to kill Snow White, carve out her heart and return it to the queen in a special box. An ornate jewelry chest that belonged to Snow.

Then her revenge will be complete.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy this new chapter. Sorry it took so long to post. I've been trying to catch up with another crossover I'm writing. Please leave a review.
