Molly stretched out across the bed, noticing that Killian had left sometime during the night. A movie had come on TV, leading Molly to allow him to stay longer. She realized she had fallen asleep during the movie, leaving the man on his own. She found a small envelope on the pillow next to hers and she raised an eyebrow, staring at it. Her name was across the front in neat cursive, making her smile a opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

'Love,

I wasn't sure how to proceed when I realized you were asleep, so I just left. It felt wrong to leave without a goodbye, as that is not what a gentleman does. I hope you had a wonderful night and look forward to seeing you in town today.

-Killian'

Molly rolled her eyes when she saw the man had called her love once more.

"I'm not your love," Molly grumbled.

She set the letter aside before changing into a simple teal t-shirt and blue jeans, heading into town to see if her car was ready or not. As soon as she arrived to the mechanic, she found Graham and Killian standing side by side, talking quietly. They looked up at her simultaneously when she cleared her throat, grabbing their attention.

"Ah, good morning love! Sorry about my dine and dash last night, but it wouldn't have been right if I stayed around after you were asleep. I do have manners, after all," Killian grinned.

"Not much," Graham scoffed, "You've got the manners of a common pirate."

"Ah, but you're wrong. I have more manners than that. Especially in the presence of a lady, unlike you," Killian replied.

Graham only rolled his eyes in response.

"Well guys, pardon my manners but I need to check on my car," Moly said.

"I already paid for you," Killian said proudly, "That's what a gentleman does."

"Well, I got the keys and parked it across the street for you," Graham declared.

Both men were obviously proud that they had helped the woman out, but Molly just shook her head, taking her keys from Graham.

"Gold asked me to let you know he's ahead of schedule with the spell, and should be ready by this evening at the latest," Graham said, smiling.

"Good. The sooner I put your crazy ideas to rest, the sooner I can head out," Molly said.

"But they aren't crazy," protested Killian.

Molly got into the car, "Look. I'll talk to you two this evening."

Without another word she drove towards Granny's, shaking her head. She arrived at the diner and headed inside, her stomach growling. She sat in a booth and waited for someone to come over. Granny was over quickly, taking her order for french toast. As Molly sat patiently awaiting her food, the front door of the diner opened, revealing Gold with Killian, Emma, and Graham.

Molly groaned and put her head on the table, pretending she hadn't noticed the group.

"Excuse me, Molly?"

Molly looked up and found Granny in front of her, holding a plate of food.

"Here you go, sweetie," Granny smiled.

She set the plate down and left, leaving Molly exposed for the group.

"We need you to come with us," Gold said.

"Uh, I'm trying to eat here," Molly said, glaring.

"Maybe try saying please," Killian suggested, winking at Molly.

Molly groaned, rubbing her eyes, "Can I at least eat first? I'm hungry!"

"I've managed to finish the potion. It's at my shop. You need to take it. We need to know who you are," Gold said.

"And it can't wait for me to eat?" Molly questioned.

"Not really, no," Killian said.

Molly sighed, shoulders slumping, "Fine. Let's get this nonsense over with."

She reluctantly allowed them to lead her to Gold's shop, where she paused to check out all he had available.

"Let's go, dearie! We haven't got all day!" Gold said.

He led her in back, Killian following close behind despite Molly protesting him coming.

"I've already got to deal with one lunatic back here, I don't need more," Molly said.

"Well you need someone to protect you if Gold really is a lunatic, correct?" Killian questioned.

"I guess…" Molly muttered, not in the mood to argue with the 'self proclaimed pirate' as she had taken to calling him.

She still didn't believe everyone's stories and wished she could be on here way soon.

Gold held up a vial with a pink-purple looking fluid and offered it to the woman, "Bottoms up."

Molly took the vial and sighed, drinking it. She winced at the taste but swallowed, thinking in the back of her mind how stupid she had been to trust these people she barely knew and drink an unknown concoction.

"That was nasty!" she muttered, "What did you put in that?!"

"Just relax. It should take effect soon," Gold said.

"And how will I know when it is?" Molly asked.

"You'll know," Gold said.

"What does that even mean?" Molly said.

She blinked, everything going blurry quickly. She stumbled, unable to see properly. She could feel someone's arms supporting her from behind suddenly, startling her.

"Easy, love," she heard Killian say.

"What was in that?" Molly demanded, fighting to stay conscious.

"It's simply a potion, dearie. Everything will come back to you soon," Gold said as Molly felt everything slip away.
