A white carriage rode down the bumpy path in the woods, Prince Charming sat inside with a blonde woman "What do you think of the view, my dear?" he asked as he glanced at her, she fluttered her fan "I've seen better." she told him.

"This is taking forever." she complained, he sighed "I told you the Troll Road would've been quicker." the carriage jolted making her close her eyes "And far less bumpy." he pulled out his black satchel running his fingers over the details, she sighed "Are you even listening to me?" he glanced up at her "Yes, of course I am."

"Woah, woah!" the coachman exclaimed as the carriage came to an abrupt stop, the princess sighed "Now what?" she rolled her eyes as Charming got out to see what was happening, "Worry not, it's but a fallen tree." he called out looking back at her, "Fella's shall we?" he spoke towards his guards who followed after.

A tree branch snapped under someone's foot as they cased the scene, Charming bent down noticing the patterns on the fallen tree with a frown, a thud from atop of the carriage alerted Abigail as she sat bored, she glanced around concern dawning on her features.

"My Lord, what is it?" one of his guards asked at the expression on his face, Prince Charming glanced at him, "These markings, this tree didn't fall, it's been cut." he said as he brushed his fingers against the chipped wood.

"It's an ambush." he exclaimed as a scream escaped the princess' mouth when the hooded figure reached into the carriage grabbing the satchel from the seat opposite her, Charming ran towards her with his guards following close behind, the hooded robber hopped onto one of the guards white horse galloping away.

Charming quickly ran towards the brown horse hopping on and chasing after the figure, Abigail poked her head out the window as he passed an annoyed expression on her face.

He quickly caught up to them shoving them off the horse, the two of them rolling on the grass, he stood up walking towards the thief "Show your face, you coward." he told them as he climbed on top of them pulling down the hood revealing Snow White.

"You're a..." he trailed off at the revelation she stared up at him "Girl..." she smiled "Woman." she corrected as she reached out for a rock before hitting him over the head with it and rolling him off her, she stood picking the satchel back up and hopping back up onto the horse.

Charming rose to his feet "You can't hide from me, wherever you are, I will find you!" he yelled, the raven-haired girl turned to look at him over her shoulder with a smile.

Mary Margret sat at a table in Granny's across from Dr Whale "Uh, where were we, something about you wanting 15 kids?" the woman blanked "Oh, good Lord, no." he smiled slightly "I meant in my class, where I teach, you'll meet them tomorrow." she quickly clarified.

"They're coming to the hospital as part of the volunteer outreach program." he hummed "Oh, yeah, that is a great program." his eyes drifted to Ruby who was clearing a table near the entrance of the diner "I mean, obviously I don't want 15 kids of my own." his eyes drifted back to her for the briefest of times.
