Far Longer Than Forever

STORYBROOKE - PRESENT

Mary Margaret was sleeping and hummed, "Mm. David? David?" She heard Neal crying. "Neal? Hey. Ohh. Hi, buddy. I gotcha. Hey."

"What a lovely child," Maleficent commented.

"Stay the hell away from my son."

"We're not the ones you should fear," Cruella said.

"Something far worse than us looms over his head," Ursula told her.

"The truth of what you did to me," Maleficent added, taking Neal.

"Please don't hurt my family," Mary Margaret begged.

"When I'm finished, you won't have a family left to hurt."

Mary Margaret woke up. "David? Oh. David?"

"Hey. I'm right here," David said.

"Well, you haven't slept a wink, have you?"

"No, it's hard with Ursula and Cruella just down the street."

"Tell me about it. I just had the worst nightmare. You were gone. I went to check on Neal and those two surrounding him... Only... Maleficent was there, too."

"Of course she was."

"David, she said she would make us pay for what we did."

"Well, it's a good thing she's no longer around."

"The other two are. And they know. This can't be a coincidence."

"It doesn't matter. None of that matters. All that does is that we kick them the hell out of this town before anyone else learns what we did."

ENCHANTED FOREST - PAST

Snow White and Prince Charming were riding towards their castle.

"Should I be worried you're this excited for our honeymoon to be over?" Prince Charming asked.

"Look, the summer palace was wonderful, but it's time to face reality," Snow White replied. "The Queen is still out there. We have to figure out a way to deal with it."

"And we will. Whatever she throws at us, we'll find a way to overcome it."

"I thought I told the dwarves not to put Sleepy on guard duty."

"Snow, it's not just Sleepy."

"A sleeping curse."

"Regina." They entered the castle.

"Regina!"

"Show yourself!"

"No one's hiding," Maleficent said.

"Maleficent."

"I was afraid you wouldn't recognize me. Have you met my associates Cruella and Ursula?"

"What do you want with us?"

"Relax, dear prince. We're not here to fight. We're here to make a deal."

STORYBROOKE - PRESENT - GRANNY'S DINER

"Uh, darling, how much longer for those drinks?" Cruella asked.

Will entered and said, "Hello, mum. Usual, please."

"Ah. You betcha," Granny replied.

"Cheers."

"You know, if that old bag still wolfed out, I'd turn her into a coat for my collection," Cruella stated.

Regina and Henry entered.
