"Neal?" Emma asked again when the two of them started to stand up.

"I don't understand. What are you doing here?" Neal asked, lowering his hood while Emma dusted off herself. "What am I doing here?" Emma asked him when she seemed too emotional to think at this moment. "Yeah..." He nodded when she scoffed at him.

"I'm not answering anything until you tell me the truth," Emma said when Neal looked confused about what she was implying. "Are you Gold's son?" Emma asked, making Neal even more confused.

"What are you talking about? Who's Gold?"

"You played me. You're from there." Emma scoffed at him, ignoring his questions. "You played me, and he played me. You both played me... You and Gold..." Emma kept saying when Neal tried to stop her so he could understand what she was saying.

"Okay, Emma, slow down. Slow down. What are you talking about? Who's Gold?" He asked her.

"Your father. Rumpelstiltskin." Emma said, making Neal's eyes widen when he heard a name he had not heard in years.

The two of them went silent for a bit when Neal tried to process what she said while Emma tried to process everything. "He's here?" Neal asked her, making her scoff at him. "Why else would I be in New York?" Emma asked Neal when he started to get upset. "You brought him to me? Why would you do that--" Neal started to raise his voice.

"Hey! I am the only one allowed to be angry here." Emma said, raising her voice at him. "Did you know who I was? Where I was from? The whole time?" Emma started to ask him, sounding angry, while Neal stopped, looking at how upset she was. "Was this just some sort of sick, twisted plan? Did you even care about me at all?" Emma continued to ask him while Neal sighed to himself.

"Emma, Emma..."

"No, I wanna know. I want the truth. All of it--"

"All right!" Neal yelled, making her stop asking questions as he looked around to see if anyone was watching them. "Okay, fine! We gotta get off the street. We can't do it here, out in the open. I've spent a lifetime running from that man. I'm not gonna let him catch me." Neal looked around when they both got a chance to catch their breath. "There's a bar down the street; we can talk there," Neal said, about to head down the street.

"I am not drinking with you. Whatever you're gonna tell me, tell me now." Emma demanded, still raising her voice at Neal.

"No, bar's better... Don't worry; you can keep yelling at me when we get there." Neal said, walking off when Emma scoffed to herself, but she followed him, anyway.


*Storybrooke, Maine*


Dream was in the kitchen, making something to eat while she was humming to herself. Hook walked downstairs while Cora and Regina continued to talk upstairs. Hook looked around at all of the photos of Dream growing up. He chuckled when he saw a picture of Dream dressed up as a pirate while Henry was a knight. It was a Halloween photo, but Hook did not know what Halloween was.

"When you wish upon a star... Makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you." Dream started to hum when Hook leaned on the door frame of the kitchen. Her back was turned as she was making grilled cheese on the stove. "If your heart is in your dream. No request is too extreme. When you wish upon a star... as dreamers do." Dream continued to hum when she placed a sandwich on a plate, before putting butter on another slice of bread.

"Fate is kind... She brings to those who love. The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing... Like a bolt out of the blue. Fate steps in and sees you through. When you wish upon a star... your dreams come true." Dream continued to sing lightly.
