Emma and Elaine Swan grew up together in the foster system with their 'adopted' sister Katy Swan, they have always been together, they are each other's strengths and they're best friends. When Emma and Elaine were in their late teens, they were both...
Elaine, Emma and Katy were leaning against Elaine's squad car as the Castle Playground as Henry and Julia rode up on their bikes, "Hey, kids," Elaine said and Henry and Julia rode right past them, "Good to see you, too!" Emma said and Katy nudged her as they followed him.
"The storm!" Henry said as he hopped off his bike and approached the severely damaged castle.
"It's okay, we can fix it! I'll talk to Marco," Elaine said.
"I think it's still here!" Julia said as Henry and Julia started digging in the ground at the base of the structure.
"What are you looking for?" Emma asked.
"Our book!" Henry said as he continued digging at the ground.
"Why'd you bury it here?" Katy asked.
"So our mom doesn't find it," Julia said.
"Hiding it under your mattress wasn't good enough?" Emma asked.
"That's the first place the Evil Queen would look," Henry said as he unearthed a box.
"Oh, true," Katy said and Emma looked at her as she shrugged.
Elaine crouched beside them, "How about leaving it with me?" Elaine asked.
"That's the second place," Julia opened the box to see the storybook inside and both the children sighed in relief, "Good," Julia said.
"So, your mom doesn't know about the castle?" Emma asked.
"No, this is our secret," Henry said as he looked between the Swan trio before closing the box and began reburying it.
Elaine stood up as Regina pulled up in her car and got out, "Henry? Julia!" Regina said.
"So much for that idea..." Katy said.
"I've been looking everywhere for you! You know you have a session with Archie this morning," Regina looked at Elaine, Emma and Katy, "Should have known he was with you three," She looked at Henry and Julia, "Henry, Julia, car! Now," Henry and Julia headed for the car as Regina looked at the destroyed playground, "You let them play here?" Regina said in disgust.
"The storm hit it pretty hard, but we can fix it," Elaine said.
"Well, can you fix a cracked cranium?" Regina looked at them, "'Cause that's what you'll have on your hands if one of these boards collapses under their weight. Neither of you is thinking about Henry and Julia or their safety, just ways around me," Regina said.

"Believe it or not Madame Mayor, not everything is about you... But then again," Katy laughed a little, "You do like to be the centre of attention, don't you? Oh, and controlling... no wonder they ran away to Boston, I would and I wouldn't have looked back," Katy said and brushed past her as she walked to Elaine's squad car.
