Third P.O.V.

"We don't have to do it this way. I can fix the Jolly Roger. My magic is powerful enough. We can execute the pirate's plan." Regina said as the group arrived on the beach. 

"Sneak attack? Let's not be naive. Save your magic. We'll need it later, because Pan already knows we're here. It's time we stop running. Gold was right. This land is run on belief. All of us have been too busy being at each other's throats to be believers. I was as wrong as anyone else. It's time for all of us to believe.. not in magic, but in each other." Emma said. 

"You wanna be friends? After everything that's happened between all of us?" Regina asks in disbelief.

"I don't want or expect that. I know there's a lot of history here and a lot of hate." Emma told her.

"Actually, I quite fancy you from time to time, when you're not yelling at me." Hook spoke. 

"Dude, keep it in your pants!" Harper exclaimed from beside Mary. 

"I don't understand-" Hook starts before being cut off. 

"It means keep your dick in your pants." Harper told already annoyed. 

"We don't need to be friends. What we need to know is the only way to get Henry back is cooperation." Emma told them. 

"With her? With him? No, Emma, we have to do this the right way." David said as he gestured towards Regina and Hook. 

"No, we don't. We just need to succeed. And the way we do that is by just being who we are... a hero, a villain, a pirate, and teen girl. It doesn't matter which, because we're gonna need all those skills, whether we can stomach them or not." Emma said ignoring the look her sister gave her. 

"And what's your skill, "savior"?" Regina asked. 

"I'm a mother, and now I'm also your leader. So either help me get my son back or get out of the way." Emma said. 

Emma draws her sword and walks into the forest quickly followed by Harper. Her parents follow, and Hook shrugs at Regina before they follow. 

"Why am I always referred to as the teen girl." Harper asks. 

No one answered her and she sighed. 

"The ridge is just a few hundred paces up ahead." Hook tells the group.

"You really think we're gonna be able to see Pan's hideout." Emma asks. 

"From there, we should be able to see everything, including where he's keeping your son." Hook said. 

"You know, I could have just poofed us up here in an instant." Regina told him. 

"Where? Have you any idea what's up here or anywhere? There are dangers all about. Only I can guide us past them." Hook told them. 

"I'm glad he said no because I hate being teleported places." Harper said ignoring the looks she got. 

"How do you know what teleportation is? I know it's from movies back home. But how do you know what it feels like?" Emma asks. 

"Mr. Gold, he taught me a few things about magic because I was interested, let's just say I can make potions from anything around me. Some that no one has heard of." Harper told her. 

That made the group stop and look at her. 

"So you think you can make a location spell out of these things?" Regina asks. 

"Not necessarily." Harper said as they continued to walk. "Plus I left the potions back in Storybrooke."  

"He's right. Hook's lived here before. If he says hiking up is the best way, then we listen." Emma said. "Don't say a damn word, Hook."
