Disney | Once Upon a Time

Alice in Wonderland

Plot: Lewis Carroll's beloved fantasy tale is brought to life in this Disney animated classic. When Alice, a restless young British girl, falls down a rabbit hole, she enters a magical world. There she encounters an odd assortment of characters, including the grinning Cheshire Cat and the goofy Mad Hatter. When Alice ends up in the court of the tyrannical Queen of Hearts, she must stay on the ruler's good side -- or risk losing her head.

It has now been three weeks since Belle had forced Rumplestiltskin over the town line, that the town has been so quiet that the only people to often occupy the cells in the Sheriff station were the dwarfs or Will Scarlet.

Killian had taken Emma out for an afternoon date, well - Emma had been given permission from Smee to borrow a boat for the afternoon (which made Killian jump for joy, literally).

They walked back to the loft, arm in arm, giggling and smiling their entire way back. Whilst out on the water, Killian had wrapped his leather jacket around her shoulders, with the cold breeze made her shiver.

They stopped at the front door, as Emma handed his leather jacket back. "You want to come in?" She asks, wrapping her arms around Killian's neck. "We're watching Alice in Wonderland tonight," she said, as the hand that was wrapped around her waist both tightened and loosened at the same time.

"Alice?" Is the first thing that leaves his mouth, he can barely remember the first woman who ever loved him, her hair like fire with a soft and sweet-heart to combat it.

"Yeah, come on, Henry'll show you the cover," Emma smiled at him and tugged him into the apartment. Henry had just set up the DVD, as Snow put the babe to sleep. "Henry, show Killian Alice that's on the cover," she said to her son, as Killian made his way over to the boy he actually considers somewhat, as a son, and hopefully (one day) as his step-father.

Henry held out the plastic case to the pirate, and he saw the blonde girl with the blue dress and white apron over top, he spoke. "This Alice lass is completely wrong," Killian said, making David look over at the pirate who had ingrained himself into their family (and he has to admit, the pirate is slowly becoming one of his best friends).

They waited until baby Neal was asleep, and Snow had returned to the living area. They looked to Killian, waiting for him to explain why he says the main character is wrong.

Killian fiddled with his hook, feeling kind of ashamed, for some reason. "The Alice I knew as a young boy, is different to the one on that moving picture cover thing," Killian points to the DVD case on the table.

"DVD, Killian," Emma comments, but allows him to continue with his story.

"The Alice that I knew, she was my mother," Killian said, making Emma and Henry's eyes widen, as David and Snow look at the pirate in shock. "There isn't much I remember about her, but her hair was red, rather than blonde, and I don't ever remember her wearing a blue dress, but she did wear an apron,"

Emma wrapped her arms around Killian, as she had some idea that Killian would burst into tears. Killian brought his arm around Emma, as another pair of arms wrapped around him - smaller. He looked over and saw Swan's son, Henry was also hugging him.

After Killian was calmed down, they pressed play and watched as the film progress.

"That's Wonderland?!" Killian exclaimed, he had the strong urge to throw his hook into the screen that was showing the moving picture show to them.

Emma could tell by the bouncing of Killian's leg that he wanted to do something about it. "What have I always told you, Killian? You can't hang how these have turned out," Emma said, making Killian breathe out, and intertwine his fingers with hers.

"Especially considering the fact that next on the list is Peter Pan..." Henry said, making Killian look at the boy.

"They named a film after that evil demon?!" Killian loudly asked, which now as awoken baby Neal, and Killian actually looked horrified that he awoke the little prince.

David got up and attended to his son, who simply needed his nappy changing, and wasn't awoken by Captain Hook from his nap.

The film was coming to an end, as Alice was going back to her usual world, and Killian was curled up into Emma's side, he was focusing on the film but all he could see was his mama with her red hair.

Emma was running her fingers through Killian's hair, which soothed him and was currently stopping him from bursting into tears over the still gaping hole in his heart that was the shape of his mama.

The credits started rolling up the screen as Henry went over and switched the lights back on (he always claimed that the films looked better when there were no lights on - Emma countered that when watching horror films, you NEEDED the lights on).

"It was a beautiful film, Swan, the music and Alice especially. But Wonderland is completely wrong! But it's funny to see Cora getting her, how do you put it? 'Just desserts'," Killian said, making Emma look over at him.

"What do you mean Cora?" She asked, thinking about the deceased queen. 

Killian got up from the sofa, and collected the empty popcorn bowl in his hand and put it on the island counter. "Cora, she was the Queen of Hearts in Wonderland," Killian explained, making Emma's eyes widen.

"Cora was the Queen of Hearts, wow!" She blinked her eyes and put the popcorn bowl in the sink.
