I walked on deck when i heard Emma ask "Is that it?"

The island was ahead of us.

I froze.

Hook nodded  "Aye, Neverland"

I looked at Hook who looked at me.

I was sitting on a box. Everyone was kinda doing their own thing. I don't wanna set a foot on the island. not at all. 

Snow and David walked over to Emma.

Snow "Hey. What happened to Neal and Henry...I's not your fault. You can't blame yourself"

Emma shook her head "i don't. I blame you"

My jaw dropped and i stood up and walked over there.

Emma "all of this happened because i listened to you. You say good always wins? it doesn't. I didn't grow up in some fairy-tale land. My experience is different. That's all i can go on. "

Snow "And all we have to go on is ours. So if you would just let us share our wisdom -"

Emma "i appreciate you trying to be parents. But we're the same age. We have equal amounts of wisdom. And all i want is Henry back. I should never have broken the curse. I should have taken Henry -"

Snow "you're right.. Then you'd be together. We missed you growing up, Emma. And it haunt us every day. "

David "and that's why we're here now. We don't want you to have to go through the same thing, too. And you won't. We are gonna get our family back"

Emma snapped irritated and pissed off "how can you two be so infuriatingly optimistic?"

Snow was caught off guard.

David "It's who we are"

Emma "Why? Ever since you got your memories back, and remembered that you're Snow White and Prince Charming, your lives have...Well, they've sucked"

David shook his head "no. No, we found you"

Emma "and lost Henry. And Neal. And countless other people"

Snow "The minute i let go of the belief that things will get better is the minute i know they won't. We'll find Henry"

suddenly Gold showed up "No, you won't"

I shot him a look "Way to ruin the moment"

Hook "Well, that's a great use of our time, a wardrobe change"

Gold "I'm gonna get Henry"

Regina "We agreed to do this together"

Gold shook his head "we made no such agreement"

Emma "Why are you doing this?"

Gold "Because i want to succeed. What makes you think i'll fail? Well, how could you not. You don't believe in your parents. Or in magic. Or even yourself"

Emma "i slayed a dragon. I think i believe"

Gold "only what was shown to you. When have you ever taken a real leap of faith? You know, the kind where there's absolutely no proof. I've known you some time, Ms. Swan, and sadly, despite everything you've been through, you're still just that bail bondsperson. Looking for evidence. Well, dearie, that's not gonna work in Neverland. "

Emma "i'll do whatever it takes"

Gold "or you just need someone to tell you what that is. Sorry, dearie. Our foe is too fearsome for hand-holding. Neverland is a place where imagination runs wild, and sadly, yours doesn't"
