"So if there is anything important you want to take with you when we leave you might want to put it in the bag now." Emma instructed me as she cooked dinner.

"Ok." I said as I placed one last thing in a box. "Where did you say we are moving to this time?"

"Story Brooke, Maine."

"Story Brooke..." I whispered quietly to myself repeatedly as I took my box and placed it in the car.

Then I realized why that sounded so familiar.

I ran up the stairs and back into our apartment startling Emma.

"You talked to Captain Cosplay." I shouted as if I thought I was crazy.

She looked confused. "You talked to Hook?"

"Wow that's a cliche name." I said more calmly. "He's been bothering me all week. Wait. You let him convince you to leave to that obviously made up place."

"It's not made up. We use to live there." She shook her head as if I made no sense. "Henry wash up and come eat dinner."

"In a minute." The boy yelled in response.

"You like him don't you? Captain Cosplay that is." I asked just before Henry came into ear shot.

"What?" She looked flustered. "No."

Henry sat down and looked at us as if we were speaking a different language.

"I don't get why we have to move." Henry complained as a plate of food was placed in front of him.

"Kid, it will all make sense when we get there. I promise." Emma smiled at her some and ruffled his hair.

"Ok." He moped.

"Do you want a plate?" Emma asked as she started making another plate.

"No thanks. I've had a long day I just need some sleep." I started to head towards my room. "Besides you said we are leaving early and I promised to take the first driving shift."

"Good night."

"Night sis." I said before closing my door and plopping down onto my bed.

"Look I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important." Robin said as I poured him another glass of lemon juice with a little sugar.

"But why did you choose me out of everyone? Surely there are other people you could ask."

"I don't trust them with this. Not to do the job right." He grabbed the glass and his knuckles turned white from his grip. "I owe this man and he asked for the best. I can't leave when Marian is about to give birth."

I was a bit relieved the glass didn't break under the pressure of his grip.

"Fine for you and your family I will do it." I sighed and I poured myself a glass. "Why you took up the Merry Men again I will never know."
