The girls moved away from Hook to discuss who was going up with Hook.
"All due respect, I am the best equipped to go. How many wards have you been through?" Mulan asked Mary Margaret, who scoffed at her question.
"My share." Mary Margaret fought.
"It should be me." Aurora fought, making the two of them look at her.
"You? You haven't fought in a battle." Mulan scoffed at Aurora, even thinking that she would go up there.
"This is about us getting home to our loved ones. Why would you--" Mary Margaret went to say to Aurora, but Aurora interrupted her. "I have no loved ones. If I fail, you can still go on." Aurora pleaded when she sighed, thinking about Phillip.
"It's me. I'm going, and I'm not going to fail." Emma fought, making them look at her.
"Then, I'm going with you." Mary Margaret said, remembering that there were two cuffs.
"No, Dream is. She's proved to be able to handle herself." Emma said, looking at Dream, who was not arguing, just looking between the group and Hook.
"You're new here. Both of you are..." Mary Margaret went to say, but Emma was not changing her mind.
"It's about getting back to Henry. I don't care what I have to face... You're not gonna argue with me?" Emma asked when Mary Margaret stopped fighting.
"Would it do any good?" She asked her daughter.
"No." Emma sighed, making her mother nod. "You got anything in that bag that's gonna help me with a giant?" Emma asked, turning to look at Mulan.
"Or Hook?" Mulan asked, loud enough for Hook to hear, as Mulan glanced daggers his way.
"Hey!" He sighed, raising his hands up in defense.
"Come with me," Mulan said, moving Emma to the side, giving her poppy dust.
After a bit, Hook grew impatience. "Ladies..." He said aloud, making all of them look at him. "...in this world, we are slaves to time, and ours is running out. In other words, tick-tock." He said, making Dream chuckle, shaking her head.
"Oh, the irony..." Dream chuckled to herself.
Emma walked over, unzipping her sleeve when Mary Margaret walked over, putting the cuff on her, while Hook put the other cuff on Dream's wrist.
"I was hoping it would be you." He smirked at Dream while she watched him grab her hand, slowly letting his fingers wrap around her wrist, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Just get on with it." Dream said, looking up to meet his eyes.
"Put your hand right here. That's a good girl." He mocked, making her roll her eyes at his comment. He chuckled, seeing that she was annoyed by him before he put the cuff on her wrist. "This will allow you to climb, but there are other dangers. Thankfully, you've got me to protect you." He said while she looked at the cuff on her wrist.
"I think I can handle it, just fine." She said, seeing him smirk at her bravery when she looked up.
He motioned to his missing hand, seeing as Dream had his satchel. Dream sighed, looking at Emma, skeptical about giving it back. "I can't climb one-handed, can I?" Hook asked, making Dream look back at him, sighing to herself.
Dream took the silver hook out of his satchel, reaching it to him.
"Don't think I'm taking my eyes off you for a second," Emma said when Hook turned to look at her as she moved next to Dream.
