The Other Swan

Chapter 1

Harley was on her yearly road trip home to her place in Maine she was going through her road map of Maine and drove into a place with a sign she hadn't seen before in her travels it said 'welcome to Storybrooke.' "What the..." she started to say as her car started to sputter. "No Betsy ,dont darling not here .." she said to her car she named it Betsy after a friend from kindergarten who was nice to her. Her stomach growled. "Not you too." She said to it as she decided to just drive into town it was dark out and she figured she could sleep eat and get her car working than leave the next day. Harley barely made into town when her car stalled in front of Grannys. Meanwhile, Snow was walking into Grannys for a dinner date with Emma and Henry and than she sees a yellow camaro stop and a young woman whom she recognizes a little bit. ' No it can't be..' she thinks knowing it could be her other daughter. Harley gets out and kicks her car and starts cussing at it.

"You okay ? " Snow asked her.

"Yeah it's this stupid car its old it was my first car when I graduated." Harley replied as her stomach growled even louder.Harley glanced up and saw that she was in front of a diner. "This place any good?" she asked the woman

" Yeah best food in town, me and my family eat here quite often." Snow said. "Wanna join me? I was just about to meet my daughter and her son for dinner." She added.

Harley was taken aback for a moment cause she didn't know this woman yet she was inviting her to dinner with her and her kid and grandkid. "Sure." She said feigning a smile.She never knew how to react in situations due to her being in an asylum at age 10 and how others reacted around her. She felt a pull to this woman though so it wasn't too much of an act to smile at her.Inside there was a man at the counter drinking tea. He was known as Jefferson Hatter or The Mad Hatter. As Harley and Snow walked in the man turned in their direction. He smiled at Harley and she felt herself blush.

"Your majesty .." He said to Snow.

"Jefferson its Mary Margaret. Or just call me Snow." Snow said to Jefferson.

"Snow? That's your name ?" Harley asked taken aback. "Like Snow White?"

"Yes. It's a long story. Sit down." Snow said to Harley.

"Yeah and you look like the town sheriff."Jefferson said looking her up and down.

"And who is the sheriff ?" Harley asked bewildered.

"Her daughter.." Jefferson said pointing to Snow.

Snow glared at him.
