CAMELOT
SIX WEEKS EARLIER

Alexa mindlessly wanders around the room as she waits for Emma to finish changing. Stopping by a mirror she stares at reflection. She was wearing a cream colored gown with her hair pulled back into a fancy bun. It was strange. As a little girl she dreamed about becoming a princess, but seeing it come to life just felt oddly peculiar.

"Alright, I think I have this on the right way." Emma says as she walks out from the bathroom in a white gown with a flower crown on her head, her hair left in its natural waves.

"You look beautiful." Alexa compliments.

"You both are." Mary Margaret interjects walking in.

"Mom." Alexa smiles.

"You know, I remember my first ball." Mary Margaret pauses as she wraps an arm around each daughter. "I was eight years old and my mother said I was finally old enough to go. It was magical. All of the lights, the music. And I remember thinking — I can't wait to someday share of this with daughters of my own."

"We're glad we get to share it with you too, Mom." Emma reassures her.

"Well, come on. What are you guys waiting for?" Alexa questions. "It's time for our royal entrance."

Alexa turns over in the bed that Erika had let her use for the night, slowly waking up from her heavy sleep. Hearing voices coming from the other room Alexa gets off the bed and walks over to the door. Opening the door she finds Erika talking to a tall man with sideburns who was dressed in seemingly royal attire.

"Where is she?" The man questions.

"The guest bed." Erika responds.

"And you're sure she's not lying about knowing Elsa?" The man inquires.

"She's as desperate as they come." Erika states. "She has no reason to lie."

"Just because there's no reasons doesn't mean she isn't." The man retorts. "But if this girl is telling us the truth, and she can get us close to the queen, then I am going to finally become what we all deserve — the rightful king of Arendelle."

Suddenly it all clicks in her head. During her time in Storybrooke Elsa had told Alexa a few stories about a unpleasant man named Hans who has been trying to takeover Arendelle for many years now. And now Hans was going to try to use her life against Elsa.
