Once Upon A Time: Goldilocks comes to Storybrooke

Chapter 20 (flashback)

Goldilocks and Tinkerbell were walking down the beach of Neverland. Tinkerbell was a fairy, but unfortunately she had her wings taken from her when she tried to help someone find their true love.

"Who were you trying to help?" Goldilocks asked.

"The Evil Queen," Tinkerbell spoke with a Kiwi accent. "I thought, maybe if I tried to help her, she wouldn't be evil anymore. But it didn't work. I stole the pixie dust to help her, so my wings were taken from me. I hate her so much!"

"Me too!!" Goldilocks said.

(But what Goldilocks didn't know was that the Evil Queen who Tinkerbell had tried to help wasn't Cora, it was Regina. But Goldilocks still didn't know how long she had been in Neverland, and she had no idea how much Regina had aged, and that she had ascended to the throne. Goldilocks had no idea that Regina had become evil).

They talked a little bit more, before Tinkerbell decided to leave and go back home. They said their goodbyes and the former fairy departed.

Goldilocks watched her go, her hands in her pockets. She heard a barking noise, and turned her head to see Perdita running towards her, a stick in her mouth.

Goldilocks grinned as the dog skidded to a halt at her feet, and dropped the stick excitedly. Goldilocks picked the stick up and threw it for the millionth time that evening. Perdita immediately ran after it.

Goldilocks stuck her hand back in her pocket again, and shifted her weight from one foot to another, lightly kicking at the sand. Perdita ran back with the stick clamped between her teeth, and Goldilocks took it and threw it again.

Just then she heard a cheer from inside the forest, and Goldilocks jumped lightly, and looked in that direction. She raised her eyebrows questioningly, and whistled for Perdita to come.

They walked through the forest until they came to the camp of the Lost Boys. They was a huge fire lit, and most of the boys were dancing around it. The others were either sat down cheering or eating.

Goldilocks spotted Peter Pan and Felix, standing a few metres away from everyone else.

"What's going on?" She asked Peter, though she had to shout because of all the noise.

"A new Lost Boy," Peter yelled back.

"Really? Cool!" Goldilocks called to Peter.

"Yeah!" Peter grinned. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked.

"What?" Goldilocks shouted.

"Can I ask you something?" Peter called again.

"What!?" Goldilocks yelled. She couldn't hear him because of all the noise created by the Lost Boys.

Peter grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the crowd. They didn't stop walking until the cheering of the Lost Boys seemed to be a whisper. Goldilocks and Peter were on the beach.

"I asked if I could speak to you for a moment," Peter repeated.

"Oohh. Yes, you can," Goldilocks smiled.

Peter grinned back, and looked around. "Shall we sit down?" He pointed to a huge boulder.

Goldilocks said: "Sure," and they both sat down.

"Goldilocks," Peter said in a serious tone. "There is something I have been meaning to tell you - well, ask you -" Peter corrected himself.

"Yes?" Goldilocks asked.

Peter took both of Goldilocks's hands on how own.

"Well, I have really been wanted to tell you this for a long time. Like, a really, really long time." Peter took a deep breath before carrying on. "I think you are the most amazing person I have ever met. You make me really happy, and I feel like I could tell you anything. Whenever I see you, you appear to be more beautiful then the day before. You are the prettiest girl I have ever met, and - I really like you -"
