Hi there mun – dig the title, by the way.

Let's talk straight, one writer to another. I'm pretty much left hanging here and fairytale character or not, I gotta be practical and assume the worst. So whatever you want, let's do it. Just do me one favor and take me somewhere where I can do my job – I don't need to relearn the same lesson again – message received.

I can count on a little help from my friends in that, can't I?

Of course! I mean, I can help at least! That's what friends do. If we need to make it a plan we can give it a codename. You know, make it official.

I knew I could count on you, Henry. How about operation Rome? All roads lead to a happy reunion.

Hey that's perfect! [All grinning at that.] Guess writers are pretty good at words! So if we've got a codename, what's the first step?

Finding your mom.

Great! Perfect. That's pretty important for a starting place. Emma might need us, after all.

That's right - if this is gonna work we have to stick with her.

Yeah! That's my plan anyway. Now that she's actually believing she's going to need more help than ever. That's why I really hope I wind up at this place with her.

That's what operation: Rome is for, kid. Turn that hope into a reality, for all of us.

All of us? I really really hope so! That'd be the best way for things to go.

Of course all of us, it won't work unless we're all together.

Is that a magic thing do you think? Or just a people thing? Or both maybe! [Friendship is magic: not just for ponies anymore.]

[A title for a self-help bestseller!]

Magic comes from people, so I'd say both.

[Get on that, writer man!]

Sounds about right. So then all of us together to make sure Emma stays strong.

Then there's... [Should he call Regina his "mom" anymore?]

[Split the profit 50/50?]

The antagonist.

[He can fill in the blanks.]

But it doesn't matter, good never let a few bumps in the road slow it down, right?

[Absolutely. Henry will be the agent.]

Yeah. Her.

But mm! You're right! Good has to win! We can't let anything get in our way, even if it might be hard.

[They'll be rich.]

If it wasn't hard, it wouldn't make much of a story.

I guess that's pretty true! The hero has to have something to be heroic about. We're doing pretty good so far, right? I mean, with the whole triumphing over evil thing.
