Night 6 – Neverland

"That's Storybrooke?" Ariel asked looking at the drawing Gold had made in the sand

"Can you get there?" Gold asked

"It's far. I'll have to cross over realms to get there, but yes, I can make it" she assured them

"If all went according to plan, Storybrooke will be surrounded by a cloaking spell" Gold informed her as he kneeled and grabbed a sand-dollar "When you arrive, surface closer to the shore, then you're inside it's bounds"

"And what would you like me to bring you back?" Ariel wondered

"An object to help us defeat Pan" replied Gold

"Well, I'm going to need a little more than that to go on" said Ariel

"I'm sorry. Pan has ears everywhere. I can't risk telling you" Gold told her as he enchanted the sand-dollar

"Then how?" insisted the mermaid

"Find a woman named Belle and then give her this" he said, tossing her the sand-dollar "She'll know what to do"

"Belle. Storybrooke. Got it. And Eric?" Ariel asked Regina "Where will I find him in this new world?"

"Well that comes after you've succeeded. Incentives are important" Regina replied "The bracelet will only give you legs for 24 hours"

"How do I know you will uphold your end of the bargain when I'm back?" Ariel said

"Guess you'll just have to trust me" said Regina

Knowing she didn't have another option, Ariel turned and dived into the water to complete her mission


Somewhere on the island, at his camp, Pan shifted uncomfortably as he and Felix prepared some weaponry

"What is it?" asked Felix, concerned

"Someone's leaving Neverland" Pan said, having felt Ariel's portal-jumping

"Where? How shall we stop them?" Felix said promptly, grabbing his clove

"Well it's too late" Pan told him calmly "Don't worry, Felix. We simply need to get word to our friends on the ground"

"In Storybrooke?" Felix asked doubtfully

"Oh, they can handle this" Pan assured him "All this does is move our time table up a touch. We need to get Henry ready" he said, standing "And I need to have a chat with our friend in the other cage"


Day 7 – Neverland

The heroes were all gathered at their camp, ready to hear Neal's plan to get out of the island

"So, what's the plan?" David asked

"Pan's shadow" said Neal

"Pan's shadow?" Emma repeated "That's your way off the island?"

"Unfortunately, it's the only way" Neal confirmed

"We thought you learnt how to navigate the stars" David told him

"I know how to navigate the stars. But I can't fly" Neal pointed out

"I'm guessing that's where the shadow comes in" said Snow

"Peter's shadow can fly and, more importantly, cross realms" Angie told them

"Exactly. That's why we need to capture it" Neal said
