Flashback

Henry, Ella, Brooke and Hook entered the Cave of the Golden Dragon.

"This is it. Just ahead, the Cave of the Golden Dragon," Henry said.

Brooke looked around and noticed claw marks, "I'm certainly glad I grew up where I did," Brooke said.

"By the size of those claw marks, I'd say it's well-fed on heroes," Hook said.

"You sure you wanna do this, kiddo?" Brooke asked.

Henry looked at her, "You kidding? I've wanted to do this since I was 10 years old," Henry sighed, "You ready?"

Brooke sighed, "If you make me your mother's enemy, I will not be happy with you mister," She playfully glared at him.

Henry and Brooke broke into chuckles, "I promise she won't find out," Henry said.

Hook and Brooke looked away as Ella and Henry kissed. Hook grinned and winked at her, Brooke rolled her eyes pushes him away, playfully.

The four of them started walking, hearing growls and they continued to walk towards the noise and found a man sleeping on the dragon's treasure.

Henry woke up the man, "Hey, hey, who are you?" Henry asked as he poked him with the sword.

"Whoa. Watch where you poke that. I'm trying to take a bit of a nap," The man said.

"Seriously?" Brooke asked.

"Here? You mad? Where's the bloody dragon?" Hook asked.

The man started laughing, "Are you serious? You think I'd be here if there was a dragon? The dragon migrated weeks ago. Left his treasures behind gold, silver, wine. I didn't even know dragons like wine," The man held up a bottle, "Want some?"

"That's not yours," Ella said.

"She's right, it belongs to the village that dragon plundered, so you are leaving right now," Brooke said and waved her wrist making the torches light up and a sword magically aimed at his throat.

"I do have that effect on women," He smirked, Brooke rolled her eyes and pressed the sword more against his neck, "Alright, I'll go," The man left and Ella escorted him out.

Brooke blinked and turned to Henry who was looking at her shocked, "You good?" Brooke asked him.

"Yeah... Yeah," Henry said and sighed.

Brooke looked at Hook and Hook walked up, "Why the glum face, lad? Dragon's gone, it's a good thing," Hook said.

"Not for me. My mom and Grandpa slayed a dragon with this sword," Henry said holding up Charming's sword.

"Oh, kiddo, there will be others day and other dragons," Brooke said.

"No, it's not just about a dragon. I'm in love with Cinderella. What do I have to offer her?" Henry turned to them, "My grandparents are Snow White and Prince Charming and I'm still just... I'm just Henry," Henry said.

"Hey, just Henry is just as amazing," Brooke said.

"I came here to find my story and I refuse to believe that I'm just a character in someone else's. You know, my grandparents had a magic ring that helped them find each other and I don't need that, but if I'm going to propose to Ella. I need to have a ring with a great story behind it, my story," Henry said.

"Is that really what you came here for? A ring to put on Ella's hand?" Hook asked.

"Easy if for you to say, your Captain Hook and Brooklyn Jones. You both have amazing stories and rings to go with them," Henry said.
