The portal worked. Granny's Diner landed with a very rough crash.

-Henry! Are you ok?.- Raven asked, then she remembered that they agreed to be just friends.- I mean, is everyone ok?

-Yes, we're fine, thanks for the concern.- Regina said sarcastically.

Raven and Henry shared an awkward smile and parted ways.

They got out of the Diner and heard two women talking: One with a very rough Scottish accent and the other one...was Emma. Everyone ran to where they were and found Emma with a heart in her hands.

-Emma! Don't.- Hook said worried sick.

After a lot of talking they convinced Emma to let the heart go and put it back in it's owner.

The woman named Merida left and with that came the chance to find Merlin and erase the Darkness in Emma. Raven hoped he could do her a favor as well, since she had healing powers that were light and poisonous powers that were dark maybe Merlin could get rid of the dark ones and she could finally not be a danger to anyone anymore.

The sound of horses invaded the entire area around Granny's and from the forest came knights in admirable armor.
They took the crew to Camelot, a kingdom where Arthur was king and had a fair but firm reign.
He talked about a Prophecy that referenced a Saviour (Emma of course) that would get Merlin out of the tree he's trapped in. However, Regina had to step in and lie about her being the Saviour since Emma can't control her Dark Magic.

Arthur even offered to throw a party in honor of the Saviour and they accepted of course so it wouldn't be suspicious.

At the ball everyone was wearing beautiful gowns and suits and Henry and Raven weren't the exception.

Raven created a colourful gown (Something that was rarely seen on her) a vibrant green with strokes of red, blue and white and gloves that matched the general color of the dress: Green. But when she came down the stairs and was announced, Henry didn't seem to notice her, he was too concentrated on a girl at the other side of the room. She was very pretty: with dark brown hair, big eyes and freckles.
When Raven was walking towards Henry because, they were friends after all. They could talk like before, right? Raven heard Snow and Charming say: "Oh, first crush... so cute" referring to Henry and the other girl. Had Raven gone invisible? Had everyone just forgotten about her? But then she heard Snow say: "Oh, Raven I'm so sorry. I..."

-Save it.- Raven said angrily walking away watching how Henry and the girl shared headphones.- Excuse me.- She said to Henry with a cracky voice but she didn't want him or her to notice she was just about to cry.- I'd like to go to the garden, please.
Raven passed through and almost ran to said garden.

-Raven...- Henry said and went after her after apologizing to the girl.- I'm sorry Violet, I have to go see a friend.

-It's ok. It was nice to meet you Henry.- Violet smiled.

Henry found Raven sitting in a bench alone just like how they met for the first time.

-Raven? Are you ok?

Raven quickly wiped her tears when she heard Henry's voice.- Yes, I'm... I'm fine.- And she faked a smile.

-You don't seem fine, what's wrong?

- I know we agreed to be friends but I can't just sit and watch while you get a new girlfriend.

-What are you even talking about? It hasn't even been a day since we broke up.

-I heard Mary Margaret and David say that she was like, your first crush or something like that.

- I just saw her and thought she was alone so I wanted to talk to her but I didn't know how to approach her since she's from another kingdom.

-You were trying to impress her. Remember? I can hear almost anything and see just about everything.

-I wanted to make the best first impression possible is that wrong? Don't listen to my Grandparents they are old schooled, they think you can't have a girl that is your friend. I love you Raven, ok?

-I know, and I know I was the one that made the deal of just being friends in the first place but, it hasn't been a day and I already miss you like hell.

-Me too.- They smiled and shared a kiss with fireflies flying around them.

-I don't want to stop being your girlfriend ever, Knight.

-I don't want to stop being your boyfriend, Hummingbird.

-You know why you are the greatest knight in the universe?.- Raven asked and Henry looked at her confused as he shook his head.- Because you don't fight with a sword, you fight with reasons and words. You're an Author and you know what they say: "The Pen is mightier than the Sword"

-Yeah, and the pen I broke was the mightiest of them all.- He said in embarrassment.

-Hey.- Raven raised his head up so they could meet eyes.- You made the right choice, you are still the Author, pen or no pen. Ok? Always remember that.

-I will. Thank you.- He smiled and Raven kissed him again.- Now, how about we go meet Violet? I think you would like her.

*PRESENT DAY*

-So? Are you going to keep me here forever?- Raven asked to Emma.- Now I get how Nessa felt in that bubble only this is worse.

-Could you shut up? I am concentrating. I'll get you out when all of this is over.

-What will be over? Destroying Dark Magic? Getting Hook back to normal? See Emma, I don't get why you would turn him into a Dark One when only one is more than enough.

-I had no choice! Now shut up!

-Fine. I'll make myself comfortable upstairs, hope you don't mind. Oh wait! I am IN your mind.

-I am sorry Raven. But I need Violet for one more thing...
