I hide under the bed. What? Am I five? It's pretty dusty under here and I'm trying not to sneeze when hook barges in. He is wearing different clothes and he doesn't seem drunk. He sits down at the desk and shifts in the chair. "Ok, just convince her to steal the ring." He mutters to himself.
I can't help but smile as I slide out from under the bed scaring him so much he jumps. "Sup uncle." I say calmly. He looks bewildered.
"What on earth are you doing here? Under the bed?"
"Hiding obviously. No one will remember tomorrow." I get a side ways look from him. "This is the day before my mom kidnaps me."
"Oh! I should have realized." Hook says and looks down sheepishly. What's with him tonight.
"You ok?" I ask and then I notice something. "Where's Emma?" I ask.
"With hook, or myself." He blushes. That can't be good. I hear more foot steps. "Good he did it. Get in the cupboard. I have to talk to snow." He shoves me in a closet right as snow walks in. I can't hear much through the door but I do hear a little.
   "I need passage." Snow says in her normal calm voice, but underneath the calmness I can hear something, fear.
   The voices are muffled a while but then I hear hook say something about a ring. Is that really their plan? Get her to steal the ring from the palace instead of the carriage? It's actually pretty smart.
   After a bit I hear her get up and leave and hook comes and gets me. "Well?" I ask with my fingers crossed it worked.
   "She's in. She'll steal the ring. We almost have everything back on track." Hook breaths with relief. I smile and hug him.
   "Come on let's-" hook is cut short by Swan coming down the ladder. Her eyes get reall wide.
   "What are you-" she starts before noticing me. She kinda stands there awkwardly as hook starts complaining about how she was supposed to be distracting hook.
   The hook walks in and starts kissing Emma. Hook gets a really jealous look at that and punches hook in the face and he's out cold.
   "What did you do?" Emma asks shocked.
   "He'll blame it on the rum. we have to go." Hook answers and grabs her hand.
   I take in the whole seen. Hook passed out on the floor because hook punched him. He really does love Emma doesn't he? How sweet. I wink at hook who rolls his eyes.
"Well. We should go. Tomorrows the big party!" I raise my eyebrows at that and smile. I haven't been to a ball in what feels like a life time. Oh wait, it has been one.
"We're not going." Emma says stubbornly. "No one can see me, hook could never get in, and you are Regina's apprentice. There is no way we could go with out getting caught."
"Come one where's the adventure? I miss balls. It's been years since my last one! Please?"
"Daniella's right." I giddy voice says behind me. I freeze. Crap. I think to my self as I turn around to find Rumple standing there with his crazed smile. "I need to make sure I get you back so my plan works. So you must make sure they fall in love."
"How?" Emma demands. "And why did you call her Daniella?"
"That's who she is. Isn't she?" He asks. "No matter. Here's the invite to the ball, and," he snaps his finger and we are in dress clothes. I smile. I really missed these outfits. "Look, your faces have changed."
"I look the same?" I say looking at Rumple.
"Of course, you your self dearie know tomorrow no one will remember you."
"How do you know that?" I stare blankly at him. I never told him.
"I've talked to, who you call, your mother. It was my idea to take you. You always got in the way. And you are making Regina not want to go through with my wonderful plan." He smiles cruelly at me.
"How could you? I had a life here!"
"No, you really didn't. You may have with my son but he's gone now. Not here. I need to find him." And like that Rumple vanishes.
"Ugh! I hate that stinkin Turd. Can we kill him?" I ask giving hook the puppy dog eyes.
"Already tried that love, didn't work out well. Now let's get some sleep so we can go to this ball. We all nod and lay down.
Slowly I drift off. Surprisingly I have sweet dreams of being home with Henry. I miss him more then I thought. My ideas of going to Bae are still there though. Maybe I can stop him from going back to Storybroke.
   "Em, love it's time to wake up." Hook says shaking me. "We have a long journey to the ball."
   "Today's the day I disappear. What time is it?" I ask.
   Hook looks up in the sky. "About 10am." He tells me.
   "I'm already gone then. No one knows who Daniella is anymore."
"Is that a good or bad thing?" Emma looks at me questioning. Her blonde hair is tied up in a ponytail.
   "I think it's good." I mutter.
    But I was wrong. We walk into town and people recognize me. How is that possible? I knew it was today! "Excuse me? Sir?" I say trying to stop a man. He turns around very frightened and drops to the ground.
    "Please don't hurt me! I'll give you anything!" He stammers
   "I won't hurt you. Why is everyone so scared of me. Besides me living with the queen I can't think of anything else." He looks up at me and then his eye catches on something behind me. His eyes get much wider and he starts to back off.
   "The-there's t-two of them!" He screams and with that he runs off.
    I snap around and freeze. There I am standing face to face with myself. But this Daniella looks mad. She had the crazy sycophantic look in her eyes and a grin that could scare a grown man. Which it did. Her hair is all messed up and her clothes are torn. "Well, I knew I was going crazy but now I'm seeing double." She giggles like she's the funniest person in the world.
    "What are you?" I ask her, me, whatever.
    "I'm you of course. This is who you've always been. People erase your memory of this but I always find a way to make it back out. You'll see." With that there's a blinding light and my mother appears before us.
    "Mom, what's going on?" I ask her when I notice it's her.
    "Emma, you shouldn't be here. I'm sorry sweetie but I'm going to have to erase this from you. You can't know about that." She says with an accusing point at my old self. "Now come with me." And with that she snaps her fingers and it's all gone. Well, more like a dream that you can only remember bits and pieces of.
    The next thing I know I'm waking up in story Brooke.
