Hope and Henry walked downstairs while he asked, "Why are we driving when you can use magic?"

"Because I want to. I don't wanna just wave my hand and have our treehouse appear out of thin air, I want us to make it. But while we make it we can use a bit of magic." She told him, making his face light up. She picked up her car keys off the hook by the door.

"I thought I heard you. Where are you going?" Rumple asked as he stepped into the doorway behind them.

"We're gonna go make a treehouse!" Henry told him excitedly.

Rumple raised an eyebrow. "A treehouse? What happened to showing him all the things you brought back?"

"What better place to show him all the cool stuff than our very own treehouse?" Hope replied. "I will be careful, I promise. I know how to use tools and I won't even get any electric ones if it will make you feel better. We have a forest as our backyard. We can take over a tree or two."

With a sigh, he agreed. "Alright. But don't be out too long, remember we have plans for dinner."

"I won't forget I love you!" She told him walking outside with Henry.

"Wait, I forgot my scarf, be right back." He called as he ran back inside the house. When he came back they drove to Maroc's shop.

The shop bell rang as they walked in. He walked over to greet them, "Ah. What a surprise to see such young people in here. What can I help you with?"

"Hey, Marco." Henry waved, "I love the swords David got us."

"I'm glad you like them, my boy. Are you here for another for the lady?" Marco asked them.

Hope shook her head, "No, I have my own sword. We're actually here to get some stuff to build a treehouse. But I'm not really sure what we will need."

"What fun. Well for starters you will need a hammer, nails, and lots of wood. What does your plan look like?"

Henry excitedly pulled out a rolled-up piece of paper with the drawing they made of the treehouse. "Right here! We just finished it."

Marco studied the drawing for a moment before he got them the supplies they needed. Once Hope paid for them they walked back to her car and put them away. "Now, are you ready to make, hey what are we gonna call the treehouse?"

Henry thought about it for a moment. "I don't know." They drove back and parked the car.

"Let's find the perfect spot then we can bring everything over." Hope suggested as they walked into the woods down one of the paths. Henry jumped over a tall root while Hope laughed.

Henry stopped and pointed to a small path. "What's down there?" Branches stood out along the side of the path and moss covered the ground.

"It looks like an adventure to me." Hope said with a smirk. "Careful little prince, who knows what might lurk behind the branches. Better let a brave dragon princess go first!" She told him in a spooky voice as she conjured the green gloves with purple nails and paper crown they once played with. She also made his wooden sword appear in his hand.

Laughing, Henry told her, "Fear not! We shall make it to the perfect tree and make our castle away from the evil magicians and the other kingdom!" Together they charged down the small path. Soon the path widened into another part of the woods.

Hope looked around and it reminded her of Neverland. There was not a sound from town to be heard, light drifted in from gaps in the leaves, and she heard a river not far away. "Halt! I think I found the perfect place to make our castle in the trees." She looked around the trees before she pointed to two large ones next to each other. "What about there, my prince?"
