Once Upon A Time: Second Chances

Arrived

Outside of Storybrooke, Present Day

The strange group of people were nearing the town line of Storybrooke. Emma looked at Regina who was sitting next to her. "You ready, your majesty?" she asked, turning back to the road. Regina nodded. "What about you, Snow?" she asked, turning towards the back seat where Snow was watching over a sleeping Vviolet-Marie. "Yeah, I think I'm ready. But she's so young! Do you think she's ready for this?" "I don't know." Emma replied. "It was hard enough for me to accept that I was a faerie tale character and I had to break a curse. And I was 28, she's 14." she sighed. "We'll just have to see what happens." As the car rolled over the orange spray-painted sign and passed by the "Welcome to Storybrooke" sign, Violet-Marie started to dream.

Violet-Marie's Dream

"Violet-Marie!" a boy yelled, running up to Violet-Marie. She was standing on a tall hill overlooking a beautiful ocean and a beautiful village. "Hey, Micah!" she replied. The two must have been 9 years old at the time. Micah and Violet-Marie had been friends since they were five, although Micah like to boast how he is almost a year older than her. (His birthday is May 8 and her's is April 4) Micah's brown hair looked like he had just taken a swim in the ocean, his hazel eyes were bright, and he was dressed in a simple riding tunic and brown pants. "What are you up to?" he asked. Violet-Marie swept her long, waist-length black hair over one shoulder, her warm brown eyes sparkling, her silky lavender dress blowing in the wind. "Oh nothing! Just practicing magic!" she replied, sending a small swarm of sparkling purple butterflies towards him. "Wow!" he said, reaching out to touch one. "You're getting really good at that!" She blushed. "Thanks!" "Violet-Marie!" a voice called from the direction of Meridian Village. "Oh, great." Violet-Marie said. "It's my mother." she said to Micah "I'll see you later ok?" she asked. "Yeah." he replied. "Coming!" Violet-Marie yelled back. She smiled at Micah and ran down the hill.

Storybrooke

Violet-Marie awoke with a start. "You alright?" Snow asked. "Y-yeah." Violet-Marie replied shakily. Who was that boy? Where was that? she wondered. "Where are we?" she asked Emma. "Emma smiled. "Welcome to Storybrooke." The car slowly rolled into the center of town. Emma drove Regina home first. "You can stay with me." Emma said to Violet-Marie. "Ok." she responded. Regina got out and said, "I'll see you later Miss Swan, I have to go see what our son has been up to these past few days." Emma smiled and nodded, but as they were driving away, she muttered "It's Swan-Jones now." under her breath. Next, Emma drove towards the Charming's farm house on the edge of town. "Are you sure you don't want to come in and say hello to your brother and father?" Snow asked, getting out. Emma smiled. "Thanks, but no. I'm going to take Violet-Marie to my house. Breakfast at Granny's?" she asked. Snow smiled. "Sure!" Emma started driving away. "So, how are you doing?" she asked. "I'm good." Violet-Marie replied. "You are going to like it here. I think you are going to like my daughter, Hope. She is a little older than you, but you should get on good enough." Violet-Marie nodded and looked out the window. Soon the pair were pulling up in front of a blue/grey house with a white picket fence. "This is my house." Emma said. "Thanks." Violet-Marie said. The two got out and began unloading Violet-Marie's things. They began walking up towards the door. "Are you ready?" Emma asked. "Yeah." Violet-Marie replied. "Here we go."

Ta da!! Any thoughts?
