No, no this is great! Really great. Okay, we can definitely work with this. It doesn't matter who else you play or that you didn't plan on winding up playing on me. You did! So that means it has to be meant to be! Things don't just happen for no reason at all.

That's not the way it works.

Besides, you have to admit I'm a lot of fun.

So! Let's get out there. Operation Cobra isn't going to take care of itself. Well... come on!

Hopefully most people are good yeah. But all fairy tales have villains and monsters, Emma.

Well... there's the Evil Queen. And there are a few witches. And, hmm. Oh and Rumpelstiltskin is pretty evil too.

[toldinthebook]

Like the Evil Queen.

Rumplestiltskin, the guy with the wheel?

[storybrooking]

Yeah! That's the one. I can't figure out if he's actually in town or not. It's kind of tricky.

[toldinthebook]

Why wouldn't he be in town if everyone from the book is in town?

[storybrooking]

Well, he would be. Unless he died or something before the curse happened. That happens to villains, right? They get vanquished.

[toldinthebook]

If only I could have that much luck. [ Regina, stop beating everything ]

I can't think of anyone that would be a witch, but you know the town better than I do.

[storybrooking]

We will. You'll see!

Hmm. I don't know. Most people seem pretty okay as people go. Well, except Mr. Gold maybe. He's a little... [Scary.]

[toldinthebook]

I hope you're right, we could do with a break.

Yeah... but whatever it is he's good at what he does. [ Scarily good ]

[storybrooking]

We'll get one. Good has to triumph over evil, Emma.

I guess that's probably pretty true, huh? He did help Miss Blanchard, right?

[toldinthebook]

So you keep reminding me.

And me, I wouldn't be Sheriff without him. [ Even if she still doesn't like the how part ]

[storybrooking]

Because it's true!

Yeah, that's a good point. I wish I could figure him out though.

[toldinthebook]

How often does that happen, though, even outside of here? Bad people usually win.

Then maybe that's your next job.

[storybrooking]

Emma... [Head shaking.] They don't! I thought that for a little while too. But look, you won the election for sheriff. And even before that, out of all the people in the whole world, I managed to find you! So that's good winning right there.

...hey yeah! That's a great idea, Emma. I'll investigate Mr. Gold! [...can only end well.]

[toldinthebook]

And what about everything else? Outside of Storybrooke, all the bad things that happen and can't be stopped?

[ Cautiously ] Just don't be obvious, and be safe.

[storybrooking]

Just 'cause bad things happen doesn't mean that good things don't happen too. I'm sure there are lots of good things. Even if bad things are louder sometimes.

[toldinthebook]

Exactly, bad things are noticed more. [ That was supposed to prove her point but no doubt proved his instead ]

[storybrooking]

Exactly! So all the more reason to really work for the good things! They deserve to be noticed more.

[toldinthebook]

It won't be a quick thing, it might take a while.

...without the journal fail this time /)__(\

[storybrooking]

Epic heroic quests always take time. That's how they work. They wouldn't be so special if they were easy, right?

/pets

[toldinthebook]

No, but I'm just making sure you don't get your hopes up that anything will happen straight away.

[storybrooking]

I won't! Besides, Emma, you're here and that's something already.

[toldinthebook]

It is, I've definitely changed a few people's lives.

[storybrooking]

You definitely have! There's gonna be more too. You'll see!
