In the enchanted forest Snow was in a cave gathering some stuff and throwing it into a bag. She took a heart shaped necklace hanging from a rock and put it on. She pulled up her hood grabbed the bag and walked outside the cave. She looked back at the cave for a minute before turning around to leave. She started walking when all of a sudden she was trapped in a net hanging from a tree. Snow screamed and struggled to get out of the net. She heard someone laughing and looked over to see the Prince she robbed stepping out from behind a tree. "I told you I'd find you" Charming said as Snow looked at him in disgust. "No matter what you do, I will always find you" Charming said walking up to the net. "Is this the only way you can catch a woman? By entrapping her" Snow asked. "It's the only way to catch thieving scum" Charming said. Snow scoffed. "Aren't you a real Prince Charming" Snow asked. "I have a name, you know" Charming said.
"Don't care. Charming suits you" Snow said. Charming smiled at her. "Now cut me down, Charming" Snow said. Charming let out a little laugh. "I'll release you when you return the leather pouch you stole with my jewels" Charming said. Snow thought for a moment. "Not the jewelry type" she said shaking her head. Charming nodded agreeing with her. "Indeed. I noticed" he said. Snow looked taken aback. "What is that supposed to mean? Are you insulting me" Snow asked. "Quite right. My apologies. How dare I cast aspersions at the person who robbed me! Where are my jewels" Charming asked. "I sold them" Snow said. Charming looked at her shocked. "What" he asked. "What do you care? Don't you have a palace full of treasures somewhere" Snow asked. "These were special. They are cursed and I have to make sure they don't fall into the wrong hands. There was also a ring in there. It was the ring I was going to give to" Charming started to say but was interrupted.
"The nag with the bad attitude? That's what this is about" Snow asked. Charming didn't fully disagree but he had a role to play and that was the loving fiancée. "She's my fiancée" Charming said. Of course he would be engaged to some royal bimbo. "Good luck with that. You must be getting something impressive to have agreed to that union" Snow said. Charming was getting upset. It was a fake relationship and all but who was this thief to judge him for his relationship when she just stole from him. "Excuse me" he said. "I know how this works. True love? It doesn't exist" Snow said. Charming sighed in disbelief and looked away from the thief in the net. "It's all arranged marriages and business transactions. There's no such thing as love at first sight or first kiss. Let me guess. Her kingdom wants to take over yours and this is, what, a last ditch effort to avoid war" Snow asked. "This is not a takeover" Charming said.
"It's a merger and quite frankly, it's none of your business. Now this is what's going to happen" Charming said. "Mmm-hmm" Snow said laughing. "I'm going to get you down, and you will take me to whoever has my jewels, and then you're going to get my ring back" Charming said. "Why would I do that" Snow asked. Charming smiled. "Well you wouldn't want me to tell anyone who you really are" Charming said as he reached inside his doublet and took out a piece of paper. Charming rustled it as he unfolded it showing it to the thief stuck in the net. "Snow White" Charming said. Snow looked at the paper and saw it was one of her wanted posters Regina had put up all over the forest. "Help me get my ring back or I turn you over to the queen's forces and I have a feeling the queen is not as charming as I am" Charming said smiling. He had the upper hand in this situation. He would never turn her over to Regina and James. He knew if they got their hands on her they would hurt her or worse kill her.
Snow thought for a moment. "Well, I wouldn't want to stand in the way of your getting true love" Snow said. Charming turned toward the rope to the net and burned it with his fire breath. "Ahhh" Snow yelled as she fell to the floor. Charming went over to help her up. He reached out his hand. Snow slapped it away. "I can do it myself" she said standing up. "Now lets go get your jewels Charming" Snow said walking farther into the forest. Charming rolled his eyes as he followed her. This was going to be a long journey.
