[If everyone knew or not, Lucy feels like she has to say it. In case some of Emma's friends didn't know, they should. she has cried a lot over this, and while it does get a bit easier each day...she does miss her grandma a lot. She misses her family a whole lot, but one thing at a time. When she turns on the feed, it's just her voice. Not as chipper as she was before, more somber and softer.]

If anyone was friends with Emma Swan, I'm sorry to say...she's gone back to her home world.

[Which, thinking about it, would either dropped her off at Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest, but that's not the main point.]

She would've said goodbye if she had the chance, so please don't hold that against her.

[Done. At least people know now....and hopefully she did the right thing.]

[jolting]

That was very responsible, Lucy. I doubt anyone will hold it against her, though. [he'll still stalk this to make sure people don't upset Lucy]

[thestoriesarereal]

I hope not.

[Her voice is small and she ends the voice feed there and switches to text.]

Are you mad at me?

[jolting]

I could have prepared you both a little better. Let's call it a learning experience and grow from it, all right?

[thestoriesarereal]

...You're disappointed then.

I'm sorry, Victor.

[jolting]

I've already forgiven you. Can you do the same for me?

[thestoriesarereal]

I wasn't mad at you..so there's nothing to forgive.

[jolting]

It was a lot to spring on you after what you've been through.

I would like it if you and James got along, but I won't rush you.

[thestoriesarereal]

It's...a lot of changes...and I'm was fine with everything until James--Jim, tried to get through the door.

[jolting]

["Jim"? So that's what most people call him]

Like I said, a learning experience. But you have to know I would never invite someone over who would hurt you or take you away.

[thestoriesarereal]

I didn’t know he was coming over or that he was your friend.

He just reminded me of other people who..separated me from my mom. I had to be in a group home for a few nights.

[jolting]

Okay. My point is I don’t tell just anybody where I live.

We’ll be moving soon so you can have your own room. How about we tell friends where we live, and work on a code word so any unknown visitors will have to say it before coming in?

[thestoriesarereal]

I didn’t know that.

Maybe....someone could easily guess the code word.

Can I help with moving?

[jolting]

We can think of something very difficult to guess.

Of course. Will you be all right with James helping, too?

[thestoriesarereal]

But if someone reads their mind, they could know...

...I guess.

You really like him don’t you?

[jolting]

If they're that determined to come in our house that they read a person's mind, then I'd let them in. They earned it.

I really do.

[thestoriesarereal]

Including someone evil?

He’s going to be around a lot...isn’t he?

[jolting]

Practice optimism, Lucy. You can't assume people are evil or want to do you harm. Look at me. I'm not a good person, but you saw me as good.

I'm hoping so.

[thestoriesarereal]

No...not everyone is evil.

But you are a good person, I could tell that right away.

[ So no matter what Lucy says, Jim will come over a lot. Then why ask? ]

I cant do anything then. You’re the adult.

[jolting]

[he rolls his eyes. They'll work on it]

I'll be home tonight. Think of what you want to have for dinner.

[thestoriesarereal]

[ uh-huh. ]

okay.

[ She won’t think of anything, just hiding in his place, ]

[bringbackgold]

I didn't really know her, but I am sorry. We don't get many chances to say goodbye to people who leave.

[thestoriesarereal]

No...no we don't. I never got to meet her until now. She's...she was my grandma.

[bringbackgold]

Oh. You must have been the one she was asking about recipes for.

[ Still baffled. She wasn't old enough to be a grandma. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Yeah... [There's a pause as she gives a sad smile.] That was me.

She didn't know she was a grandma. My dad, her kid, is...was still a kid when she last saw him.

[bringbackgold]

[ It makes a little more sense. But, he doesn't think too hard on it. Other worlds have extraordinary things. ]

I was going to say, she seemed younger. That's different.

[ Pause... ]

And kind of neat that your world makes that possible.
