–[Storybrooke]–
(Henry and Izzy is in a convenience store by the comic books. Henry flipping through one as Izzy reads along when a girl, who is roughly their age, approaches them.)
Ava: Whatcha reading?
Izzy: The Hulk versus Wolverine.
Ava: I'm Ava. I think I've seen you both around school. You're in Miss Blanchard's class, right?
(Henry and Izzy nods. Another boy close to their age walks up to Ava.)
Nicholas: Almost ready, Ava?
Ava: This is my brother, Nicholas.
Nicholas: Hi. Come on – let's go.
Ava: You want to come hang out?
Henry: Sure!
(The four go to leave the store, but are stopped by the owner.)
Mr. Clark: Where the hell do you think you're going? Open up your bag.
Izzy: What?
Mr. Clark: Don't think I didn't see you rob me. Open your bag.
Henry: We didn't take anything.
(Mr. Clark takes Henry's bag and looks through it. He pulls out a fistful of candy.)
Mr. Clark: And a liar, too.
Izzy: That's why you were talking to me. So your brother could put that stuff in there.
Mr. Clark: Henry, Izzy... I'm shocked. And you two – just who do you think you are?
–[Fairy Tale Land – Past]–
(In the forest, a man is hacking at a tree with an axe until he manages to topple it. Gretel and Hansel appear from behind another tree.)
Father: Ah! A fine specimen. The wood it provides will keep our family's hearth warm this winter.
Gretel: Can't I have an axe?
Father: Huh?
Gretel: You did say you wanted me here so I could help.
Father: That I did. So, here's your task – take the cart, go fill it with kindling. The drier the better.
Gretel: Okay.
Father: And have your brother accompany you.
Gretel: Okay.
(Gretel picks up the end of the cart and goes to leave.)
Father: Wait!
(The Father removes the compass from around his neck and places it over Gretel's head.)
Father: Take this.
Gretel: Your compass?
Father: So you don't get lost. A family always needs to be able to find one another.
Gretel: Yeah.
Father: Okay. Go. Be safe.
(Hansel and Gretel take the cart and go deeper into the woods.)
———–
(Hansel and Gretel are still collecting kindling for their father. Hansel has a slingshot and is shooting rocks into the forest.)
Gretel: It's getting late. We should go.
(She takes his slingshot.)
Hansel: Hey! Give it back. Come on, Gretel! Give it back.
