Chapter 39: Crazy!

Real World!
     Jade was at her job, the pet shelter. She fed the pets and then went in back to put the food and drinks away. She heard the door close. "Hello?" A familiar voice asked. Jade walked out there with a smile. She stopped and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Albert. "H-hi." Jade greeted. "Hey." Albert greeted. "What are you doing here," Jade asked. "I've never actually been in here and I saw you through the window. This must be where you always disappear to." Albert replied and Jade giggled. "What do you mean?" Jade asked. "I never see you around a whole lot, which kind of sucks.... I kind of like you." Albert replied and Jade blushed. "I kind of like you too." Jade agreed and Albert blushed. "Why are you always here?" Albert asked. "I love it here, plus.... I live here." Jade replied. "What? Why?" Albert asked and Jade shrugged. "I have my reasons." Jade replied. "If you don't have a home, you could live at the hotel." Albert stated. "I know, but I rather be away from everyone in Storybrook." Jade replied. "Why?" Albert asked and Jade sighed. Albert walked over to Jade and used his fingers to lift her chin up and their eyes met. "You can tell me anything." Albert stated as Jade's began to water. "P-people think I'm cr-crazy." Jade replied. "That's insane!" Albert exclaimed. "Not really." Jade replied. "What do you mean?" Albert asked and there was a moment of silence. "Because.... I'm a loner and I tend to talk to animals, of all sorts, and act as if they can understand me." Jade replied as a few tears fell from her face. Albert wiped Jade's remaining tears and held her hands in his. "I don't think you're crazy, I think it's kind of cute." Albert stated. "Really?" Jade asked. "Yeah, honest." Albert replied. Jade smiled and blushed. Albert smiled too and put a strand of her hair behind her ear. They let go of their hands and back away from each other with nervous smiles.

Flashback!
     Jane's parents had just introduced her to Andy and now their out on a walk and talking while her parents are getting dinner ready for them. Jane climbed a tree and started swinging on tree's except for walking like Andy is. Andy laughed at her. "What are you doing?" Andy asked with a smile. "Having fun, you should try it sometime." Jane replied. "You don't think I'm any fun?" Andy asked. "Oh, I know you're not. You're a way too serious guy." Jane replied. "How do you know that? You don't even know me." Andy asked. "But I do.... It's all in body language and actions. The way you look and talk." Jane replied. "What do you see about me?" Andy asked with a slight smile. "You're a serious guy. You use to be afraid of the world because of who you are, but some monsters managed to save you and now you're more confident. But you're still serious because you're afraid that you'll wake up back in that position and be terrified again of yourself again. You are your worst nightmare and fear." Jane explained. "I see." Andy stated. "Am I right?" Jane asked with s smile. "Well.... Yeah." Andy replied and they both laughed. Jane hopped down and landed next to Andy. They both smiled and continued to walk.

Real World!
     Jane locked up the pet shelter and went into back. The back has all of the stuff she needs for the pet shelter and her stuff. There was a bed there and she made it. She layed down and covered up. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
    Mr. Gold is getting bored in this town. He also needs to get his daughter to leave so the curse won't break, or he can hopefully get her to join him. He picked the lock on the pet shelter door and went inside and into the back. He wrote a note and put it on the counter in the front. He went to the back again and picked her up. He left the pet shelter and locked it again. He left and took her to the Asylum. The Asylum is this town's prison. He locked her up and went back to his shop. He grabbed a potion, he only has two magical items in this realm. He snuck into someone's home, Ian's home. Ian is the guard of the Asylum. He poured the potion on Ian as he was sleeping, and now Ian thinks that Jane has always been there. Then he went back to his shop and went to the back. He removed the picture of his daughter and opened the vault. Inside was a poisonous Apple that only had one bite. He smiled evily as he thought about his plan that will be coming up soon. He closed the vault and locked it tight. Then he put the picture back and went to bed as he kept thinking.

Flashback!
   Jane and Andy were sitting on a tree branch. They've been hanging out for an hour when they heard a roar. "What was that?" Andy asked as he looked around scared. Jane laughed and hopped down from the tree, but Andy stayed on the tree. "What are you doing?" Andy asked. "Lighten up and get down here." Jane replied with a smile. Andy took a deep breathe and hopped down too. He almost fell, but Jane caught him and helped him. "You okay?" Jane asked. "Yeah." Andy replied. Then a bear ran to them and Andy tripped and fell. Jane giggled and she helped Andy up. "Calm down." Jane stated. She walked closer the bear and knelt down beside the bear. "What are you doing?" Andy asked. "Calm down." Jane replied. Jane started petting bear. "Hi, Rosy. How are you?" Jane asked. "I'm good. Thanks, Jane." Rosy replied. "No problem." Jane stated. "How are you?" Rosy asked. "I'm doing great, thanks." Jane replied as she continued to pet Rosy. "Jane.... What are you doing?" Andy asked. "That's my power. I can talk to and understand animals of all sorts." Jane replied. "That's.... That's kind of cool." Andy stated with a smile. She held out her hand towards Andy. "Come on. Don't be shy." Jane stated. Andy took a deep breathe and accepted her hand. She dragged him to her and he knelt down towards them. "Rosy, this is Andy. A friend of mine. Andy, this is Rosy. Another friend of mine." Jane introduced. Jane got Andy to shake paws with Rosy. "He's cute. Do you like him?" Rosy asked and Jane glared at Rosy. "Shut up." Jane replied and Rosy smirked. "What?" Andy asked. "Nothing." Jane replied with a small smile and Rosy laughed. "I'll have to introduce you to more friends of mine." Jane told Andy. "Are they all animals?" Andy asked. "Pretty much." Jane replied as her face fell. "That's kind of cool, all of this." Andy stated and Jane smiled and blushed.

Real World!
       Mr. Gold was in his car and watching Daisy. She walked out of her condo and checked the mail. She went through them and then closed the mail box. She sighed and then she walked inside. Mr. Gold sighed as he watched. He can't wait til he does his final plan. He saw Christopher and Dale walk by and he glared at Christopher. He started up his engine and drove away.

Flashback!
     Jane's mom found them and bright them back to the eating area. Then a sloth jumped on her lap and she giggled. "Who's that?" Andy asked as he sat next to her. "This is my pet sloth, Needles." Jane replied. Jane sat Needles on the area next to her and she kissed the top of his head. For dinner was fruit salad and mango's, mango's are Jane's favorite. They also had fresh water from the lake. Jane and Andy kept glancing at each other as they ate.
     After dinner, Needles went to play with some of his friends. Jane's parents went on a walk. Andy walked off to use the restroom. Jane sighed as she waited. But then a napkin covered her mouth. She tried to scream, but it was muffled. But the napkin was covered in chloroform, so she passed out. The person carried her away right before Andy got there. "Jane?" Andy asked. But he couldn't find her no matter where he looked. "Jane?" Andy asked again. But Needles saw the person carry Jane away, so he ran to find Andy.
