Rose has alot to think about.
Being with a magical man, who also happens to be her best friend's brother, is a new thing for her.
Swimming is a way for Rose to unwind.
Sometimes she'll disappear for hours in order to transform into a mermaid and swim around aimlessly.
"Rose, darling... can we talk?" Pan asks as he sits at the edge of the pool of water Rose is occupying.
"Sure thing," she swims up to him.
"I'm going to get everything ready for us to go to your realm. I'm using what's left of my magic to study your technology and customs," he explains.
Rose squeals with excitement,"Yay! You're so sweet!"
Peter gives her a soft smile,"I love you, dearest."
"I love you too, babe."

Deeper in the island, Hook decides to leave Emma and Henry their note while they are off with Regina and Mr. Gold.
The letter read:
Dear Emma and Henry,
I know I am a pirate. I know I'm not the most trustworthy person... but you both mean the world to me.
I want to go wherever you are. I want to be the man you need. So I am stepping up to the plate.
Henry, I will try to show you what a man should be. I will be better for you.
Emma, I will be the man you deserve. I will prove my love to you everyday.
Love,
Killian
"Killian!" he hears his name being called out by a familiar voice.
"Amelia?" he responds as he sees her and a male figure running toward him in the dark.
Amelia and the man stop when they reach him.
"Hook, this is James. We need you to get us back to my realm," Amelia explains.
"What- I mean- okay... I have some magic beans left. Can you find some magic to enchant them?" Hook stammers, extremely confused.
"Yeah. I can do that. I need them quickly. I'll pay you," she bargains.
Killian shakes his head and hands her a bean out of his pocket, "My only request is that you'll forgive me for all the pain I've caused."
"I do forgive you. Thank you for helping us."
Hook smiles at Amelia,"Good luck."
As she and James run off together, Hook feels relieved.
He knows that in another life he could love her and maybe she could love him too... but not this life.
The island has spoken on that.
---
Amelia and James rush toward the ocean.
She begins powering up the bean with her magic while James gets their luggage ready.
"Are you sure you want to come?" She asks James one last time.
He nods,"I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth."
She smiles and grabs his hand before throwing the bean into the ocean.
A glowing portal opens and the pair allow it to engulf them until it closes, allowing them to enter her realm again.

"Amelia! Amelia, where are you?" Felix yells desperately.
She wouldn't have actually left the island... would she? he thinks to himself.
His heart grows heavier and heavier as his calls go unanswered.
He's been searching for hours.
Felix has trekked half of the island and the light of morning is beginning to show.
"What have I done?" he mutters to himself as tears flow down his face.
He takes a seat in the spot Amelia and him used to share.
"I did this. It's all my fault," he cries harder and harder as every word escapes his lips.
"Felix? What are you doing out here?" Pan asks with a concerned face.
Felix looks up at his superior, face red and puffy from the tireless searching and crying.
"I can't find her. She's really gone," he sobs.
Peter looks down,"I know... I received a letter. I'll be joining her soon. Rose and I are leaving in one week."
"Wow. That's so soon," he replies numbly.
"Yes... Amelia left you a letter. Maybe you should read it," Pan suggests, handing Felix a folded piece of paper before.
Peter decides to leave so Felix can have this moment in private.
Felix,
you broke my heart.
i wanted love... real love.
all my life i was going from place to place but i thought that i finally found a home when i was with you.
i guess i was wrong.
sorry that i wasted your time.
sorry that i wasn't good enough.
sorry that i couldn't make you love me.
i'm going home. for real.
i'm leaving with james.
i'm sorry if i hurt you.
i'm sorry if my magic scared you.
i'm sorry if i was too clingy...
i'm sorry for alot of things, but i'm not sorry i'm leaving.
i want to go to college.
i want to get a job and a house.
i want to get married one day and have kids.
i can't have that in neverland and obviously i can't have that with someone who doesn't love me.
i am going to bargain with hook so i can go home using his beans and then i'm going to follow my dreams...
without you.
goodbye, felix.
love,
amelia
Felix gently folds up the note and places it in the pocket of his cloak, near his heart.
Everything hurts.
He is confused and scared.
But... he's also angry.
How could Hook just let her saunter off?
Why would he give her the beans?
Why did she run off with another man?
Even though a million thoughts flood Felix's mind, he knows one thing for certain...
"I need to get her back," he mutters to himself before angrily marching toward Killian's campsite.
"Oh, hello, Felix," Killian greets as he notices the tall blonde man approaching him.
Felix grabs Killian by the collar and shoves him against a tree, his arm pressed against Hook's neck.
"Why did you let her leave?" Felix growls.
Hook's eyes widen as his breath quickens,"She asked for a bean and it wasn't my place to question."
"Give me a bean. I'm going after her," he demands.
Hook hands him a bean,"You will have to wait 3 days until the next full moon. It's the only way someone without magic can power it."
Felix releases Killian and pockets the bean,"Then I'll wait... but I am not giving up... not again."
