Unshadowing Pan

Regrets

"Can you get me a cup of orange juice," Mary Margaret asked raising up her empty glass. I smiled and grabbed it off her and walked over to the fridge. It didn't look easy being pregnant.

As I poured the juice into the glass I watched as Henry was trying to teach Pan how to play his games on his phone. I smiled at the two boys and handed Mary Margaret her cup of juice.

"Well they seem to be getting along," she said taking a sip.

"Yeah well that's only because Henry doesn't remember who Pan really is," I pointed out sitting next to her. It was nice to finally have some bonding time with Mary Margaret.

"You really care about him don't you." She said it as if she knew.

"Of course, Henry's my friend."

"I mean Pan," she corrected.

I was taken back, "What- How come everyone's said that?"

"I see the way you two get along. As much as I wish it wasn't him, it is. You two are quite a team."

"I'm discussing my personal life with Snow White," I said mostly to myself.

"Snow's currently on hiatus. Mary Margaret however is bursting with life," she smiled looking down at her stomach, "with an extra one as well."

I sat down after feeling slightly lightheaded. It came on so suddenly that it caught me off guard. I hadn't felt anything like it before.

"Aria, are you alright?" She asked.

"Yeah," I said. "I think so. I just need a minute. I'll be right back."

I wandered off to one of the bedroom, unsure of which one it is. At an instant my vision became white and everything became bright. I closed my eyes and reopened them. I looked around, I wasn't in Storybrooke anymore. I could see myself standing alone looking up.

I was in a movie theater looking at the movie posters. I watched as someone with brown long shoulder length hair came up from behind and pulled my hand quickly.

"Evan? What's going on," I asked urgently.

"We got to go...now!" He urged pulling me with him. From behind, men dressed in uniforms ran after us. We ran out the theater and across the busy street nearly getting ran over. We ran around people, pushing through, until finally we stopped and hid in an alley.

"Well that was fun don't you think?" He smiled as his eyes glowed with life and excitement. He had blue eyes and light tan skin, his lips were extremely chapped and his hair was a dirty mess.

"I don't get it. Why didn't we just use magic to get out of there," I asked.

"That," he said raising up his chin, "is because magic doesn't work in this world. Only in the Enchanted Forest."

"So how are we going to get back?"

"Well first you have to show me where you grew up in your foster home.  Before I found you and brought you back to the Enchanted Forest with me, remember? Then we will get back home using this," he held up a white sparkly bean.

"How'd you get that? They're extinct." I said looking at the magic bean.

"I stole it a very long time ago and kept it for someday. I guess it did us well," he smiled, "well now let's get going. We have to get back to the Enchanted Forest in time for supper. We have a big day of training tomorrow you know," he pointed out pulling me against him laughing.

As we looked up at each other and smiled I felt my eyes begin to close as my flashback finally ended.

I jolted up first noticing I was laying in bed in my room. I could hear the distant talks between Mary Margaret and another woman I assumed was Zelena.
