Hayden POV


I was getting dressed for school that's when I heard the clock tower ring.

I rushed to my window looking out. I smiled seeing that it finally moved.

I rushed down the stairs. grabbing a apple.

Dad was sitting at the table reading the paper.

"Did you see?" I said

Dad looked up from his paper.

"See what Darling?" He asked as he chuckled

"The clock tower is working finally." I said smiling at him

"Is it now." He said chuckling

"It is." I said smiling at him.

He stood up.

"I will check it out on my rounds. you best be off to school and remember straight home after school your grounded after your little stunt." He said

"I know dad." I said smiling at him.

I get on my tip toes as he leans down so I can reach kissing him on his cheek.

"See you after school." I said

"Okay my song bird." He said

With that I left for school only to be drug away by Henry.


Me and Henry were sitting at a booth. at Granny's dinner

"Ah, so you decided to stay." Graham said

"Observant. Important for a cop." Emma said

"That's good news for our tourist business, bad for our local signage. " Graham said

(Emma gives him a look)

"It's--it's a joke... because you ran over our sign..." Graham said

" Look, the cocoa was a nice gesture, and I am impressed that you guessed that I like cinnamon in my chocolate, 'cause most people don't, but I am not here to flirt, so, thank you, but no thank you. " Emma said

(She sets the mug on the table)


" I didn't send it." Graham said

" we did. we like cinnamon, too." Henry said

(We get up)


"Don't you two have school?" Emma said

" Duh, we're ten. Walk us." Henry said

"So, what's the deal with you and your mom?" Emma asked as we walked Henry on one side of her me on the other.

" It's not about us, it's about her curse. We have to break it. Luckily, I have a plan. Step one: identification. I call it, "Operation Cobra"." Henry said

" Cobra? That has nothing to do with fairytales." Emma said

" Exactly, it's a codename. It'll throw the Queen off the trail." I said

Emma looked over at me

"So, everyone here is fairytale character, they just don't know it." Emma said

" That's the cure. Time's been frozen.. " Henry said

"Until you got here." I finished

You know we just found out we were twins but Now I can fully understand since we're starting to act alike now.

(Emma begins to take a bite of the apple she's carrying)

"Hey! Where'd you get that?" Henry said

"Your mom." Emma said

" Don't eat that!" Henry said

(He takes it from her and throws it)


" Okay... Um, uh, alright. What about their pasts?" Emma said

" They don't know. It's a haze to them. Ask anyone anything and you'll see." I said

" So... for decades, people have been walking around, in a haze, not aging, with screwed up memories, stuck in a cursed town that kept them oblivious." Emma said

"I knew you'd get it! That's why we need you, you're the only one who can stop her Curse." Henry said

" Because I'm the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming?" Emma said

" Yes! And right now, we have the advantage. My mom doesn't know that." Henry said

(Unzips his backpack)

"I took out the end," He said

(takes out pages from the Once Upon a Time book and hands them to Emma)

"the part with you in it. " I said

(Emma looks at a page containing an illustration of Prince Charming placing baby Emma in the , the name "Emma" clearly visibly on the baby blanket.)

"See? Your mom is Snow White!" Henry said

"Kid.." Emma said

" I know the hero never believes at first, if they did, it wouldn't be a very good story. If you need proof, take them, read them. But whatever you do, don't let her see these pages. They're dangerous. If she finds out who you are... then it would be bad." Henry said

(scene transitions to the front of the school, Emma stops walking and Henry and I continue on)

"We gotta go, but We'll find you later and we can get started. I knew you'd believe us!" Henry said

" I never said I did!" Emma said

" Why else would you be here?" We both said

(we run off toward the school)
