Katherine got out of the car with Henry the next day and stood on the curb.

"You sure you're okay with this?" she asked him.

"No, but I want you to be happy."

He gave her a little push, so she made up her mind and entered the diner.

Hook was throwing darts, when she entered the diner.

He turned around to see her approaching him.

"The Snow Queen turn up? Did I miss the search party?"

"Oh, nothing to miss. There's no sign of that ice witch yet."

"It's alright, Pierce. You'll find her."

"Yeah, I know. Uh, that's not why I'm here."

"Then why are you here?"

"Well, I thought about what you said last night about being a survivor. And you're right."

"It's like I said, luv. You don't have to worry about me."

He turned back around and threw another dart.

"Good, 'cause I'm here to ask you out."

His dart fell to the floor.

He turned back around.

"To dinner or something," she added.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you out?" he inquired.

"I should've known you'd be old-fashioned, given your age. What are you, like, 300?"

"Curses and Neverland may have given me experience, but as you can see, I've retained my youthful glow. I happily accept on one condition. You let me plan the evening."

"I know how to plan a date," she replied. "You're not the first person I've dated."

"You know how to chase a monster. I know how to plan an evening out."

"Well, I don't pillage and plunder on the first date, just so you know."

"Well, that's because you haven't been out with me yet."

She chuckled.

"See you tonight," he added.

He gave a smile and she smiled back, before leaving the diner.

When she got outside and went around the car to get to the driver's side, she stepped in a puddle and looking, saw that there was water under the car and around it.

"What the hell?" she questioned.

She got in the car.



Rumple entered his shop, only to see Hook waiting for him, sitting on top of his glass case counter.

"Making yourself at home, are we?" Rumple questioned, closing the door.

"I'm here to make a deal."

"Not interested."

"Oh, you will be. Unless you want Belle to learn the truth about your precious dagger," he said, knowing the dagger Rumple gave Belle was a fake.

Rumple began to walk towards the counter where he was.

"Tread carefully. I might just take your other hand."
