SCENE: Neverland's island. Present. Henry races through the forest, with the lost boys close behind. He falls, and is picked up by a hooded girl, who pulls him off the trail.
henry POV

"Come on" the hooded girl says (Both panting) "Where'd he go?!"(Panting)
"This way!" The lost boys yell
"Thanks." I say
"Pan and his forces are in tune with every grain of sand on the island. We must be careful." She says
"Are... are you a lost girl?" I ask
"I was." (The hooded girl cuts the ties around Henry's wrists.)
"But I escaped. And now they're after me, too." She explains
"How? What happened?" I ask curious
"No time for questions. We must keep moving. Come on."

SCENE: Neverland. Present. On the Jolly Roger. Emma is doing pull-ups in the ship's crew quarters. Hook joins her. (Grunts) (Breathing heavily) (Exhales deeply)
Hook POV

"Oh. Don't stop on my account." I tell her "Wouldn't think of it" she says
(Emma rolls her eyes and continues doing pull-ups.) "What are you doing?" I ask
"Getting ready for a fight." She responds
"Well, I've never known you to need to get ready for a fight. I thought it was a natural state. Don't let Rumplestiltskin get you down, luv." I tell her
"What do you want?" She asks
"To give you something. You know, Baelfire and I once spent a lot of time together." I say
"He was always "Neal" to me." She explains
"Yeah. Right."(Hook unlocks a chest and takes out a sword, which he holds out to Emma.)
"This was his." I tell her
"I didn't realize you were sentimental." She says
"I'm not. I just thought you could use it where we're going. You know... To fight. I was going to give it to Iris but I lost her you're the next closest thing to Bae." I explain
(Hook gives Emma a shot glass, uncorks his flask with his teeth, and spits the cork out. He pours Emma a drink.)
"Thanks." she says
"To Neal." I tell her
"To Neal." She repeats (Clink)

SCENE: The Enchanted Forest. Present day. Neal lies on a flowered bed. Mulan approaches.

Neal POV
(Inhales and exhales sharply)
"Who are you?" Mulan asks
"Neal." I say (Footsteps approach)
"Is he well?" Aurora asks
"Well enough to be questioned." Mulan retorts "Here. Drink. Drink. You must be thirsty." Aurora says
"Where am I?" I ask
"You're in our kingdom." Aurora answers
"Where's your... where's your kingdom?" I ask
"The Enchanted Forest." Prince Philip answers "I'm back." I whisper
"Back? You mean you're from here?" Aurora asks "He's lying. Look at his clothes. He's from the same world Emma and Snow are from." Mulan says
"Emma? Emma swan? You know her?" I question "How do you know her?" mulan asks
"She's... "(Strained voice)
She's my... I... I don't know. But she's in danger. I have to get back to her. Oh! I have to help her!" I say desperate.
"You need to rest. You were gravely injured when we found you. Were you hit by some kind of arrow?" Philip asks
"45 caliber arrow. Look, I... I need your help. I need to know that Emma and Henry are all right." I say
"You're... You're Henry's father? I was once under a sleeping curse. Snow taught me how to control the nightmare. And with practice, I'm able to walk the dream world, find others like me who have passed through. It's possible I can make contact with them. If I can, what would you like me to tell them?" Aurora tells me
"Tell Emma I'm alive, and I love her." I say

SCENE: Neverland. Present. On the Jolly Roger. Emma sits with Hook in the crew's quarters.
Emma POV

"How long was he with you?" I ask
"Long enough for me to know that I miss him, too." Hook replies
(The Ship creaks and bangs. A loud thump shakes the ship.)
"What was that?" I ask (Waves splashing, wind gusting)
"What the hell are you two doing?!" Regina yells
"Trying to keep it steady!" Mary Margaret replies "Hold on!" David yells
"Prepare for attack!" Hook yells
"Be more specific." Regina says
"If you've got a weapon, then grab it!" Hook yells
(Hook grunts as he fights for control of the wheel.) (Screeching in distance) "What's out there? A shark?! A whale?!" I yell
"A kraken?" David asks
"Worse." Hook says (Screeching underwater) (Screeching continues)
"Mermaids."
(Screeching)
