Audio/Video --- un: L.Mills

[thestoriesarereal]

So...[The audio was the first to turn on, and Lucy figures it out when she sees her screen is dark. She quickly changes it to video, looking at the camera, unsure of what she's doing but she has to try. The network gets to see a young girl who looks unsure, but trying to be brave at this moment. A lot has been on her mind, but she needs to figure this place out first.

To some, she may carry certain characteristics of another young person from a long time ago..or recent.]

I can't say this is cool or not, we're on a moon and there aren't any flying cars but...

Anyone here know of Snow White? Or...The Evil Queen? And if they're here...maybe, point me in their direction?

[Is she being serious? The look on her face says yes. She needs to find people she can trust, and hopefully not be placed in a group home.]

[thesavior]

Seriously?

[Emma knows she is not lying though ]

I call Mary Margaret something else.

[audio]

[thestoriesarereal]

Yes, and no--it's not a made up thing. It's the truth. [Because she's gone through this again with Henry...but if this person doesn't believe her, then whatever, she can figure something else out.

Or...maybe not]

What do you call her? Is she here?

Re: [audio]

[thesavior]

Mom.

[thestoriesarereal]

Ha. Ha. You can't call her 'Mom.' Only one person can do that.

Or...

What's your name?

[Video];

[thesavior]

[Emma smirks at the device. She reads the response and then flips the device on. ]

How about you go first?

[thestoriesarereal]

[Lucy is surprised to see the device turn on and then to see the woman whose picture is in her storybook. The person that Henry spoke about often. Family...

She stares at the other woman for a moment longer, torn between excitement and shame. Finally when she speaks again, her voice is soft and there's a sad smile on her face.]

You're Emma Swan, aren't you?

[thesavior]

why would you say that?

[thestoriesarereal]

Because you're The Savior. You're in my book.

The same book my dad gave me.

[thesavior]

Okay Kid, No one is supposed to know that.

[thestoriesarereal]

Unless they’ve read the story or lived through it.

My dad told me the story and lived it.

[thesavior]

[ Emma can be seen staring at the screen in shock, but not the disbelieving kind. She knows as sure as she is sitting there that Lucy is telling the truth. ]

Where are you Lucy?

[thestoriesarereal]

At the shared housing place. I've been wandering around.

[Has Emma connected the dots?]

[thesavior]

[ Sort of, but seeing is believing.... ]

Okay just stay where you are and I will find you alright?

[thestoriesarereal]

Okay. I’ll stay put. See you soon.

[ Maybe Emma will take the good news? Hopefully? ]

[thesavior]

[Emma probably should have gotten more details as to where Lucy was more specifically, but she was more than a little freaked out about who Lucy was and more importantly how she was here.

Emma found her in a few minutes, taking in the girl, before stepping forward. ]

Lucy?

[thestoriesarereal]

[Yes, a little girl who has the same smile as Henry and the same determination too. She is shorter than him when she was his age, but she's there at the steps of the communal housing building. She looks up from her phone to smile a little at Emma.]

Hi.

[She puts her phone away and stands up, walking up to Emma.]

...So...have you figured it out? [Who she was and the connection they had?]

[thesavior]

[Emma couldn't help but crack just a hint of a smile as she looked at Lucy. Suddenly, she was flashing back to a time when she opened a door, and standing on the other side was a life changer.

Henry.

She squatted down and looked at Lucy. ]

That you're my kid's mini-me? Yeah, I got that. I don't get the how though.

[thestoriesarereal]

[ The smile on her face turns into a huge grin. Of course Emma figured it out, she is smart and The Savior after all. ]

It’s been a few years, Henry grew up, went to other realms and met my mom and then had me.

[ Now excuse her for a moment because now she’s going in for a hug. You have no idea how much you’ve been missed, Grandma. ]

[thesavior]

[ Emma's posture is stiff at first because she is not exactly an emotional person, but soon she relaxes into the hug, and returns it. ]

That somehow does not surprise me. He is so much like his father it's scary.

[thestoriesarereal]

[ Lucy doesn’t take offense to that. This is the first time she can actually say she’s met her grandmother and really, it’s more than she could ask for at this moment. She’s holding onto Emma tightly. Someone who understands magic, curses, and family! ]

I don’t know much about Grandpa Neal, think you can tell me more?

And think I can stay with you?

[thesavior]

of course, you can. What do you want to know?

[thestoriesarereal]

Anything--Everything.

[Really, learning anything about her grandpa would be amazing.]

[thesavior]

Well, we met in a stolen car [ Emma smiles softly.]

How about that?

[thestoriesarereal]

[Grinning.]

I didn't know that. What kind of car, and why did you two steal it?
