That night, the Evil Queen went down the Dark Forest, not being a bit afraid of the woods. She made it to a cave and went in until she came upon Gold's cell.

"Gold" she called "I need your help, now".

Gold appeared from the darkness with a nasty grin on his face.

"Ah, if it isn't the Evil Queen" he said with the grin "It's been a while".

"It has" the queen said with a dull look "Now I need your help".

"Is it about the curse?" Gold asked.

"Well, yes, and my spell book has been stolen and-".

"And you want me to help you look for it" Gold finished.

"I really hate it when you finish my sentence" the queen frowned.

"Well, I do know everything" he grinned "Oh by the way, your daughter was here earlier asking about a way to prevent the curse".

"What?" the queen said surprised.

"Yeah" Gold grinned.

"What did you tell her?"

"That the only way to prevent the curse was to destroy the spell book, but I couldn't help her cause she needs to find it on her own".

"So you do know where the book is, where is it?" the queen asked with a stern look.

"You need to find it on your own".

"Can you at least give me a hint?"

"All right" Gold said with a small grin "It's in a place where you'll least expect it".

"Least expected" she echoed.

"Any more questions?"

"Nah, I'm good" the queen said with a sneaky smile "I need to start looking".

She then headed off, wondering about what least expecting place the spell book could be.


At the 'Wonder diner', Elena and Terrence sat at a table and drank their tea.

"So"Terrence said nervously "Um, are you like, joining any clubs here?"

"Well" Elena said "You know that motorcycle guy Kendell?"

"Yeah".

"Well today he asked me if I would like to join his group cause they think I have a wonderful singing voice".

"Are you gonna join them?"

"I might".

"If you do, does this mean you're gonna come to school with them on their motorcycles?"

"I don't think I will, I prefer my car".

Terrence then noticed a purple feather on a chain that hung on her purse.

"I like your feather" he said as he touched the feather charm.

"Thank you".

"Where'd you get it?"

"I don't remember, but it's been on my purse for a while".

At that point, Lauren came up to them with a smoothie and 2 straws in her hand.

"And here's your very berry smoothie" she said as she set the smoothie down.

"Um, we didn't order this" Elena said.

"Oh I know" Lauren smiled as she set the 2 straws down "Enjoy".

Elena and Terrence then looked at each other awkwardly.
