Once Upon a Time: Lost & Found

Chapter 12: The (Big) Celebration

Zelena, Regina, Emma, Snow White, and David invited the whole town for the celebration. Zelena, Regina, Emma, and Snow White helped Robin pick a dress, and Hook, David, and Henry helped Neal pick out a suit. 

When Zelena, Regina,Emma, and  Snow White helped Robin pick out a dress. Robin picked a blackish purple dress that went up to the knee. The fabric used was as soft as a warm blanket. It wasn't puffy, but sleeves kind of were. After she picked the dress they went to the spa to get her hair done and makeup done. Her hair was crimped and was down wore a black bow on the side of her hair, She had light purple eye shadow, mascara, and lip gloss. To cover herself up, she wore a robe (a mid-evil cape sort of thing) so know one would see her until the party was starting.

David, Neal, and Henry went to pick out a suit for Neal. He chose a White suit. Instead of going to a spa, they just went to Hook's ship to get Neal's hair done. He decided to comb it out and spike it up just a bit, and so no one would see him until the celebration was going to start, he wore a robe (a mid-evil cape). 

That night, they had the celebration in the streets and all around the town. First everyone met at Regina's house. 

Henry and a girl were in the front of the doors Regina began to say "Ladies and Gentlemen of Storybrooke, we have gathered you here today to celebrate the return of 2 special people that have left us 12 days ago, but aged 13 years. They didn't think themselves important until they found us." The townspeople applauded their hands. "Now first may I introduce to you, Neal Charming" Neal came out in his robe, then unwrapped his cape and put it on the floor to reveal his suit. There was loud applause and whoops, he locked arms with the girl who was standing by the opposite door of Henry and walked down the stairs. "And Robin Hood." Robin came out in her robes, unwrapped them,  and dropped her robe next to where Neal's robe was to reveal her dress. After she unveiled herself, there was louder applause, whoops, and whistles. She locked arms with Henry and walked down the steps.

They headed to the middle of the road, and Emma said. "Now they shall share a dance with their escorts." Music started to play, then Neal said to the girl he was dancing with. "I can't dance that well." "It's ok." The girl said with a smile. "Just follow me." "What's your name?" Neal asked. "I'm Violet."  "So, are ya single?" Neal asked. "No, sorry." Violet said. "Oh, who are you with?" Neal asked. "Henry." Violet answered. "Oh, Robin won't be so pleased with that." Neal said. "Why not?" Violet asked. "Oh, I'm pretty sure she likes him." Neal said. "But, they're cousins." Violet said. "How?" Neal asked. "Oh, because Robin's mom is sisters with Henry's." Violet explained. "How come this wasn't explained to us?" Neal asked. "I don't know." Neal looked at Henry and Robin dancing and grew jealous of how good they were dancing and how their eyes were locked on each others. Neal couldn't dance right without looking at his feet. 

The song ended then Snow White said "Now Robin and Neal will share a dance, and only Neal and Robin will take the dance floor." A Song played and Neal and Robin walked up with each other. They both started to blush, then Robin and Neal took hands, Robin placed her other hand on his shoulder, and Neal placed his other hand on her back. They started to waltz. Then one of the fairies named Blue who worked at Granny's said. "This dance could use a little magic." Then threw blue dust on them, then they slowly lifted off the ground. "See, their happy with each other." the fairy said to Snow White and Zelena  and winked. Neal realized they were of the ground and found it easier to dance so he let Robin go so she can do a slow spin. Once the song ended another song came on and everyone got a partner and danced. The song was more upbeat. Once Robin and Neal got back on the ground, they danced to the new beat. Robin kept to the steady beat, and Neal just danced however he felt like.

 Robin stopped in her tracks when she saw the evil Queen give a sign to someone and mouthed "It's time." Robin then noticed that she was giving the sign to Zelena, who nodded and followed the evil queen. Robin had a feeling something was up and followed Zelena and the evil queen. They lead up to Zelena's house and Robin knew she couldn't enter through the door so she transported to her room. She slowly opened her door and listened to their conversation. She heard the Evil Queen say "Don't you want her to be like you and not like her father?" "Yes, but she already chose who she wants to be and I can't stop that." Zelena said. "Maybe you can" the Evil Queen said. "How?" Zelena asked. The Evil queen hesitated, then she said. "I can't tell you right this minuet." The evil Queen said. "Why not?" Zelena said. "Because someone is butting into our little conversation." Robin knew she had been caught, then she transported  back to the party.

"Anyway" said the Evil Queen. "Wait, who was listening?" Zelena asked. "You're daughter." The Evil Queen sighed. "Oh Great. Just what I need" Zelena said. "My daughter hating me for keeping a secret." "Calm down sister." The Evil Queen said. "She doesn't know what we're up to." "She will eventually." Zelena said in a stern voice. "Anyway, do you know what we are going to do?" The Evil Queen said. "I don't know. Pray tell." Zelena said. 

"Ok, we are going to make her turn sides so she can be the daughter you've always wanted her to be." "That's not going to work." Zelena said. "Oh really, well now that you brought that up, it probably won't, but good thing I have a backup plan in case you're little girl decided to spy on us." "Which is?" "We are going to tell her all the secrets that have been kept from her from her father that everyone else knows except herself." Zelena took a minuet to understand what she was talking about, then she said. "And I know exactly what to say to her." "Great, well since she doesn't trust me, she can possibly trust you." "Not really." Zelena said. The Evil Queen said, "When you said that you couldn't change who she already she chose to be." "Ok, so?" Zelena said. "Then after that she vanished." "Maybe she would've have thought me the bad guy and not you. So it is possible she still trusts you." "This doesn't make any sense." Zelena said. "Oh it will" The Evil Queen said. "It will.

Back at the celebration Robin was confused about what happened. She was scared that she couldn't trust Zelena anymore and the fact if she can trust anyone. "What's wrong?" asked Neal. "Oh, nothing." Robin said. "Are you sure?" Neal asked. "absolutely." Robin asked. "Will you come with me for a sec?" Neal asked. "Sure." Robin answered. Robin and Neal walked to the docks and they stopped in front of the ship. "What is it?" Robin asked. "Well, I've been talking to Henry and Violet and they gave me advice." Neal said. "Advice about what?" Robin asked. "Ok, here goes" Neal said. "Robin, can I tell you something personal?" Neal asked. Robin started blushing. "Sure" Robin said. "Ok, Robin will you.." Neal started, but they were interrupted by Hook who was coming back from the celebration. "What are you two doing down here?" "Nothing." They both said at the same time. "I know somewhere where we can talk without being interrupted." Robin said. She waved her hand over her head and they transported. Robin transported herself and Neal to the school grounds. "Couldn't we get caught here?" Neal asked. "No, there aren't any cameras outside of the school grounds, they use security guards for that." 

"Ok, anyway." Neal started to say. "Robin, I like you." Neal said in one breath. Robin raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "Neal, no one likes me if they keep secrets from me." "What do you mean?" Neal asked. "The Evil Queen and my mom are trying to make me the daughter that my mom wanted me to be, but my mom told her that she can't stop me from being who I already am, or chooses to be. So, I don't know who to trust at the moment." "Well you can trust me, right?" Neal asked. "Yes, I do." Robin said. "Now about you liking me." Robin started to say. "I like you too." Robin said. Neal started to turn red. "Really? I thought you liked Henry." Neal said. "I was only trying to get you jealous because I liked you since I was able to multiply by 3's." Robin explained. "Wow, this is like.." "True love?" Robin asks as she was finishing Neal's sentence. "Yes." Neal agreed. "What do we do now?" "Let's go back to the party and have some more fun." Robin said. Then she waved her hand over head and blue dust surrounded them and they transported back to the party.
