Robin "Come on, now. Off with it. The jewelry, now!"

Regina asked confused "Robin, you don't know me?"

Robin "enough talking. the jewelry"

I handed Robin the crown i was wearing "It's not him, Reg"

Robin looked at Regina "and your necklace, m'lady"

Regina took the necklace off and handed it to him. 

Robin "thank you"

We could hear horses coming closer. 

Robin "it appears it is time for me to go"

Then he ran away. 

Regina looked after him. 

Me "Regina, they're after you. They're looking for you. We gotta go!"

Then i pulled hid behind some tree branches. 

Henry showed up on his horse  "they crossed the river. hurry. We have to get my aunt back. And that witch will pay for my grandparents' death"

Then they rid away. 

I sighed, annoyed  "Right, since you killed the Queen and the King. I am the Queen now. I didn't give up my claim of the throne as the first born just for her to die and give it back to me"

Regina just looked at the ground. 

I eyed her "Reg?"

Regina "Robin...he didn't age. Everyone else here aged. Except you and him. How is that possible?"

Me "First of all, i have that one deal with Gold, remember? second of all, nothing is real. He's not real. This place was created on a wish. don't get lost in it. when we get home, this'll just be like a dream. "

Regina "and how long until we get home?"

I looked at the wood and froze "not long. i think i have an idea"


At Pinocchio's cabin. 

Regina "what are we waiting for?"

I grabbed her hand and pulled her back "shh, shh, wait. the whole kingdom wants your head on a spike, reg. Stay here"

Then i walked to the cabin where August was. 

I smirked "Hello, Pinocchio"

He turned to me, surprised "Princess Echo, i'd heard the terrible rumors you were captured by the Evil Queen"

He hugged me. 

I smiled and hugged him back "i wasn't really captured"

August "i cannot tell you how relieved i am to see you. i've heard about the death of Queen Snow and King David. which would make you.."

I nodded "the Queen"

He went to kneel but i stopped him. 

I shook my head, smiling "please, don't. I am still me"

He nodded confused "What are you doing here? what happened ?"

Me "It's a long story"


Inside

Me "i know this sounds, well, crazy."

August "long time ago i desperately wanted to become a real boy. and it only took one person, my father, believing in me to make it so. i believe in you, Echo"
