~ Airport Mishaps ~
Two days before their departure for Florida, Rumple, Belle, and Regina drove over to Bae and Emma's and changed back into their child selves. They missed all the fun they had when they were children and for Regina it would be her last adventure before she joined the ranks of the adult marrieds. Killian was excited to be with the Nevengers again. The last time he was with Rumple and Belle as children was when he was getting his preschool shots. The little toddler was terrified the first time he went to have them done, thinking the needles were part of an alien medical experiment he'd seen on the old TV show The X-Files. He wasn't supposed to be watching it but he'd hide in the closet with Jack and watch, claiming he was hunting zombies. Once Emma informed the group the shots were to prevent them from getting sick, there was no more talk of aliens.
The main topics of conversation for the group while they sat in their clubhouse were how much fun they would have in Disney World and Operation: Find Archie a Date as they called their mission to get the bachelor psychologist a girlfriend, possibly a wife before they got home. There were some unmarried women in Storybrooke but he didn't seem interested in any of them.
"Maybe we need to find him a girl with a dog like Pongo," Belle mused. "It'd be cool if the dog's name was Perdy too!"
"We gotta tell 'em he don't drink, smoke, do reefers...an he's got a job. Girls don't like deadbeats," added Killian.
"An...we gotta make sure to tell em he's got a good record...'cept that parking ticket but everybody does that," Rumple said.
"Didja put him on Match like we asked ya to, Henry?" Regina demanded.
"Ummm...yeah but I made up an email, Regina, and he got some from some pretty weird girls. I had to cover my eyes on some!"
"Why?" his mother demanded.
"Prolly cause they sent naked pictures," said Killian.
"Ewwww!" Belle and Regina screeched.
"Didja get emails from any girls who isn't nutjobs?"
"Well...there was one...and she does live near Disney...think she said she even works there part time as a tour guide."
"Well...let us see it!"
Henry opened it up. "Oh my God…Belle...she DOES have a Dalmatian named Perdy!"
"Ooooh cool!"
"Ah she could be lyin," Killian scoffed. "'Sides ya don't meet girls on the 'puter. Ya meet em goin out."
Belle scoffed. "Well I think this girl might be his true love. What's she look like?"
Henry showed them a picture of a petite woman in her early forties with short brown hair, green eyes and glasses.
Killian frowned. "She looks like a librarian!"
Belle glared at him. "An what's wrong with librarians?"
"She kinda looks like the librarian in The Mummy," Henry said.
"Yeah an she was cool an she kicked butt...so there!" Belle snapped at Killian.
He threw up his hands. "Okay! Prolly won't see her anyhow."
When they came out of the clubhouse, Sapphira was looking over the fence. "Look who's a baby again, Little Miss I-Don't-Know-How-To-Drive-A-Car-Worth-Crap!" she taunted.
"Aww blow it out your fat butt, butthole!" Killian yelled.
"That the best you can do, Hookie?"
"Bring it. We got lots more where that came from!" Regina challenged.
Sapphira threw an apple over the yard at Regina. "How ya like that apple, Queenie!"
Regina flicked her wrist and a dozen apple missiles flew over the yard at Sapphira. "How ya like THEM apples Buttmuncher!"
"You got me all dirty you little brat!"
"Neener neener neener!" Regina sang and stuck out her tongue.
"That's enough," Melanie said sharply. "Sapphira, go in the house!"
The former fairy glared at her and stormed back into the house.
The night before they left, Archie came over to the house with Pongo and Bae suggested he sleep over so that they could all go to the airport together. Snow and David were going to be pet sitting the rest of the dogs and cats while they were gone though the kids wanted to take ALL the animals with them.
"We can't, guys."
"Awwww!"
"Why not, Bae?" Rumple wanted to know.
"Because we can't fit them all in the car that's why and our room would be like a zoo!"
"Yeah but we're staying somewhere that has pets an Archie's takin Pongo!"
"I could leave him at home if there's a problem..." Archie began.
"You can't!" Belle elbowed Rumple in the ribs. "Pongo's gotta help us find that librarian so don'cha mess this up!" she hissed in his ear.
"Okay, okay, dearie, don't bite my head off!" he protested.
She pulled him aside. "We agreed we were gonna find Archie a date an I think the librarian is his true love so Pongo's goin or I'm gonna divorce ya an' take your stuff!"
"Dearie!"
She glared at him. He sighed. "Okay...I'll shut up now."
She smiled. "Ya know m'kiddin right? M'not gonna divorce ya an take your stuff but we gotta make sure Pongo goes cause you're the only one of us who can talk to him an Perdy."
"Kay...I gotta tell Pongo what's goin on so's he knows."
"What are they talking about over there?" Archie asked Emma.
"I'm afraid to ask sometimes," she answered.
The kids were so excited about leaving that getting them to go to sleep proved difficult. Emma and Bae tried everything they could to get them to go to bed early only their efforts were tiring them out instead.
They knew it was only going to get worse by the time Emma gave birth and she didn't have much longer until she did.
Thankfully Bae and Archie would help her ride herd on the four toddlers and Henry. She wasn't as worried about Henry getting into mischief as she was about the Nevengers. Trouble seemed to find them everywhere they went.
They insisted on watching The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride on the big screen TV, even though they'd seen it already last week. Regina conjured "lion" ice cream cones with Simba, Nala, Kiara, Kovu, and Mufasa's faces on them and they sat in front of the TV eating them. Rumple conjured up chocolate covered gummy "ants" and they threw them at the screen whenever the villainess came on and screamed, "You killed his father! Prepare to die!"
Archie started laughing. "Were you watching the Princess Bride recently, Rumple?"
"Umm, yeah. I like Inigo," Rumple replied.
"An' I like Wesley," Killian put in. "Cause he's a smart pirate like Jack Sparrow."
Belle eyed the doctor curiously. "You watch Princess Bride?"
"Ummm...yes..."
"Cool!" Regina shrilled. "What part's your favorite?"
"Well...I enjoyed the scenes with Wesley and Buttercup the most...and that fight in the castle."
He would never admit to the rest of the adults but he was a closet romantic. He also enjoyed watching spy movies and thrillers but once in a while he would put a romantic movie in and reflect on how lonely he was.
Belle elbowed Rumple and whispered, "Archie looks lonely. We need to find him a girlfriend fast."
"Kay, dearie. M'workin' on it," Rumple whispered back. "Who d'ya think I am, Dr. Phil?"
"Umm...yeah...an' I still say it's that librarian Henry found on Match. We should let Archie answer her email."
"No . . .online dates don't work . . .they could be lyin'," he disagreed. "We gotta see her in person so's we can make sure she's legit."
"Kay...Pongo's gonna help us with that...right? Ya talked to him?"
"Yup. And he says he'll be able to tell if she's a good person. Dogs gotta sense about these things. Like Emma."
"Good."
"Hey Doc, ya ever see that show with the black goo aliens?" Killian quizzed.
"The X-Files? I watched it for a while but after the eighth season I started losing interest."
As if that were a signal, Emma rose from the couch. "Scuze me. My bladder's reduced to the size of a peanut." She hurried into the bathroom, thinking how the plane trip was one thing she was not looking forward to given the state of her insides.
Regina frowned. "Yuck! Ya mean ya gotta wear Depends now?" she called after the sheriff.
Henry almost spit his hot cocoa all over.
"Very funny, Queenie" Emma threw over her shoulder. "You'll be wearing them before me!"
Bae swatted him on the back. "Hey, take it easy, tiger."
"Couldn't help it," his son gasped. "OMG, Mom!"
Regina looked at him. "What? An' don't call me that when m'little. People will think you're perverted or something."
"An' some men in white coats will come an' take you away," Rumple added.
"I still say the Magic Kingdom is not going to be the same with you there," Archie joked.
"How come?" asked Belle.
"Yeah, dearie. It's not like we're gonna demolish the place," Rumple replied.
"Ummmm...with you guys I dunno," Henry laughed.
Four sets of eyes glared at him.
"Yeeoouch if looks could kill I'd be dead, guys!"
"Aww, hush up and eat your ice cream, junior!" Regina said, crossing her arms over her chest.
Belle looked over at Archie. "An you jus' worry about being nice an sweet so's you can find a girlfriend!"
"And you gotta wear some nice clothes too," the little pawnbroker said. "Like somethin' that doesn't scream "bought at the rummage sale for $2.99"."
Bae burst out laughing. "Papa, are you suggesting he get a makeover?"
"If he wants ta get a girl he's gotta look cool," Killian added.
"An it's gonna be too hot for the stuff he wears now," put in Regina.
"I did buy different clothes for the trip," Archie insisted. "And before you start Rumple, no they don't look like I got them at a rummage sale."
"You got a nice tie?" the attorney queried. "If not you can borrow this one" he held out a hand and his blue and red swirl Ferragamo appeared. "But no funny business with it . . .like tyin' girls to the bed or nothin'!"
"W...What?!" he sputtered. "What kind of man do you take me for? I'd never do that!"
"Good, cause some idiot wrote some trashy book about a girl n' guy doing that to each other an' now some girls think it's hot," Rumple informed him. He rolled his eyes. "Silly sheep! If one of 'em jumped off a cliff so would the others cause it was something new."
"Oh ya mean that Fifty Shades a Grey crap?" Regina asked. "I threw it out after reading 'bout the girl callin her conscience her inner goddess. Really? Her inner goddess was a MO-RON!"
"Ashley was readin' it down at the library and I tried readin' it to see why she was all mushy over it," Belle added. "I couldn't even get past chapter one, the writing was so bad. I told her she needed to read Sense and Sensibility."
"That would've been better, Belle, or even Pride and Prejudice," Archie suggested.
"Yup. Or Emma," added the librarian.
"Ehh...didn't need ta read...just had ta watch t'movie with Colin Firth comin' outta the lake in a wet shirt," Regina said.
"Just a suggestion...you might want to talk like children in Disney World...could raise a few eyebrows," Bae said.
"M'a kid so's I don't havta worry 'bout it!" piped up Killian.
Rumple looked at his son. "By tomorrow we'll have nearly forgotten our adult selves, Bae. This won't last. Only overnight."
"And your memories come back when?" Archie asked curiously.
"When I choose to transform us back," the sorcerer answered. "I keep this on me to remind me of who I am," he indicated his ebony and diamond star pendant.
"Are you sure you're ready for this Archie?" Emma asked from the doorway. "They can be a handful."
"I think I can handle it."
Bae smirked. "Famous last words, Hopper. They're like monkeys on crack sometimes."
"Says you who turned my hair white several times with YOUR antics, Baelfire Gold!" his father reminded him.
"Cool! What'd he do?" Henry asked eagerly.
"Never mind!" Bae said hastily.
"I think I'd like to hear this," Archie chuckled.
"Me too," Emma said,. coming over to sit back down.
Killian, Belle, and Regina all looked at Rumple, smirking, knowing this was going to be an interesting tale.
"Well . . .there was the time when you decided to help me become more productive . . .and you told all the boys in the village that I spun magical lucky thread . . and you had them buying it for 12 coppers a spool, twice what I normally sold it at."
"Dad! You were a con artist?"
"Apparently a better one than my parents," Archie said. "They made most of their money from what I lifted."
Belle smacked Bae's arm. "Bad!"
"Owwww...Mama, that hurt!"
Emma laughed. "Oh, be quiet!" her husband groused. "Umm . . .see they were always teasing me . . .and saying my papa was such a coward it was why nobody wanted to buy thread from him . . .so I decided to trick them. And it worked . . .for awhile. Till Papa found out about it."
"Then what happened?" asked Henry.
"Papa made me refund them half the money . .. told me to tell them we decided to have a sale." Bae said ruefully.
"And THEN what happened?" Henry pressed.
"Well . . . I got in trouble." Bae sighed.
"Daad!" his son groaned. "You're leaving out details."
"Hey Rumple, member when I told ya they was havin a sale so's you'd make our tummies feel better? Woke ya right up, " Killian reminded his friend
"Yes, I know. I always look for them," the sorcerer said. "And to answer your question, Henry, he ended up carding and collecting wool for me from our small herd of sheep for a week, with one of his "magic" strings tied around his finger so he wouldn't "forget" what he'd done . . . after I'd lectured his ears off and spanked him. I was so embarrassed, I never dared tell anyone what he'd done."
"But didn't people ask for more magic thread?" Regina wanted to know.
"Yes. But I told them I had no more and couldn't get any more ingredients to make more," the former spinner answered.
"You all sounded like adults just now...is that part of the spell?" Archie inquired.
"We still have our adult memories, dearie . . .until tomorrow when they fade," Rumple reminded him.
"Oh...ummm right..."
"But don't think we're gonna forget 'bout findin ya a date. It's a Nevenger priority," Belle added.
"Okay you rugrats...time for bed," Emma said.
"Aww! I'm not tired!" Regina moaned, imitating her son.
"Do we get a story?" bargained Rumple. "Let's make a deal."
"One story. Then it's bedtime."
"I'll get the new book!" Belle said, and brought back the illustrated version of Aesop's Fables. "They're so short we can have TWO stories!" she said with a sly grin.
"Uh . . .Papa's rubbing off on you!" Bae laughed.
"I'll see you all in the morning. Pongo, do you want to sleep down here?" Archie asked the Dalmatian.
The dog lay down beside the air mattress and rested its head on its paws.
"He says he'll keep watch so we don't get kidnapped," Rumple translated. He stroked the Dalmatian's ears.
"All right, good night everyone."
Emma read the children one story from Aesop's Fables and by the time she started the second one, the children were asleep.
Orlando, Florida:
"Right this way Detective Carlyle," a young woman said as she led the Orlando Police officer down the hall to offices of Disney World's head of security.
Carlyle was having a rough week and so was the department. There were at least three mysterious deaths in the city. The victims were found in different places but all of them had black, swollen tongues and had gone into convulsions before death. The coroner suspected some sort of poison was being used but they would have to wait for the toxicology report.
Now Disney World was having an issue of its own...a series of seemingly random disappearances but there was nothing random about it. All of the missing were children.
There were also more reports of people's pets going missing, but that wasn't really his department.
"Detective Carlyle, what can I do for you?" asked Kenneth Hammond, Disney's head of security.
"Mr. Hammond, I'm here to review your security procedures for the park and the hotels. In light of the recent reports of missing children and the three unexplained deaths the Orlando PD thinks it best if we work together to make sure all the guests at the park are safe."
"I'm in complete agreement." He handed the detective a copy of the procedures manual every security officer was given.
"We're doing an upgrade on the video monitoring system as well as making sure we have more than enough trained guards on duty."
Carlyle studied it. The procedures were standard with a few exceptions at night and given the volume of people entering and leaving the Magic Kingdom. "You need more stringent procedures at the entrances, I'd suggest a few of your people in plain clothes watching for any suspicious behavior. And instead of your standard metal detectors, might I suggest these full body scan portals. We've used them at several venues around the city, including the airport."
He pulled a diagram out of his pocket and showed Hammond. "They can accomadate disabled people in wheelchairs or using walkers or scooters."
"They're programmed to be non responsive to surgical implants, like metal pins, hip replacements, knee replacements, and prosthetics and robotics. They won't set the alarms off, but the scan will send you a detailed report of what the person had in them, so you know. It also takes a picture of families as they approach and leave the portals, so you can ID members in a group quickly."
The detective was a middle-aged, medium-sized man with brown hair and brown eyes and a very mobile honest face. "One of the things you learn really quickly when you work on a missing person's case, especially with children, is that the kidnappers usually ditch the kid's clothing or put on different clothing over the original ones. But they keep the shoes the same, since it's hard to buy generic footwear that fits every kid."
"So the photo will zero in on people's shoes, especially the children's." he explained. "As well as anything they happen to be carrying with them. You should use the wands to scan all the purses and bags anyone brings with them, because the belt scanners sometimes miss things."
He detailed a few other things they needed to watch for and said that such thorough procedures might dismay some guests because it would make for longer lines and wait times to get into the attraction but that safety factor was what was important. "Make them understand that, but don't mention anything about the missing kids, don't want to start a panic."
He and other members of the police force were working double time to try and solve the cases, though so far they had no luck at all. It was very frustrating because Carlyle wanted to nail whoever was behind this very badly. Those who harmed children were on his list of people who ought to be shot into outer space on a rocket.
Storybrooke, Maine:
The Golds were blissfully unaware of these issues when they woke the following morning to go to the airport. Archie and Bae packed the suitcases in the car while Emma and Snow made the kids their breakfast.
They were all excited to see all the characters from their favorite movies, go on the rides, play on a beach, swim in the ocean and find a certain librarian. Henry reminded Belle the woman, whose name was Selene Paddington, was not a librarian but a tour guide at Disney who volunteered at a pet shelter according to her profile and emails.
"Hopefully this will just be a normal vacation," Emma said to her mother.
"Or as normal as you can get with those four imps," Snow laughed. "Have fun, Emma. Because soon enough you'll wish you were back there when you're getting up at 3AM for feedings and stuff."
"I missed all of it with Henry. I don't want to with this one."
"I know how you feel," Snow said feelingly. "Sometimes . . .I wish I could have a do-over with you. But . . . que sera, right?" she smiled wistfully. "And I can help you with my new grandchild."
Once they had bid farewell to their family and friends, they all piled into the car to go to the airport. On the way there the kids looked out the window and sang Disney songs.
"Ya think Belle will sing as good as she does in the movie?" Belle asked Rumple.
"I hope so." Rumple said. "I like how she sings. And you too, dearie."
"Wonder if Selene sings?"
"Maybe. We'll have to see," the small sorcerer said.
"What if Pan's there too?" Killian asked.
"He won't be mean like Rumple's papa," Regina said. "He'll be like Gabriel."
"Hope so or we should make Jack eat 'im!"
"Tick tock, dearie! Tick tock!"
Killian laughed. "Ya think Jack Sparrow will be there?"
"He's a Disney character too, so yeah why not?" Rumple agreed.
"I dunno...maybe they don't have 'em all come out an' see kids."
"Well, maybe he will this time," said Rumple.
"I want to go on all the rides," said Henry.
"You gonna go on Space Mountain, Henry?" his grandpa asked.
"Heck yeah and the tallest rollercoaster!"
"I wish I could go on a rollercoaster," Regina said. "But I'm too little."
"Yeah, you'd fall out," Rumple agreed.
"An I'd puke!" said Belle.
"When I get bigger again I'm gonna go on 'em all!" Killian declared.
"Me too, dearie!" Rumple bounced up and down in his seat.
In the front seat Emma and Bae were smiling. "We're here! Everybody out!"
The kids cheered and practically jumped out of the car windows.
"Whoa pipe down and were gonna use the buddy system, okay?"
"We all hold a grown up's hand, right?" Rumple clarified, and took Bae's hand.
"That's right."
Regina took Henry's hand and Killian took Emma's.
Belle winked at Rumple and took Archie's hand.
A skycap came and took their suitcases from them.
"Hey where they goin' with our stuff?" demanded Killian.
"They're bringing it to the plane so they can load it," Emma explained.
"Kay they better not lose Jack!"
"You look really nice, Archie...where ya get that blue shirt?" Belle asked him. He was wearing a blue dress shirt and black pants.
"Geppetto picked it out."
He didn't dare tell the toddler his best friend supported the whole idea of getting him a girlfriend.
"You look sharp." Rumple agreed.
"Every gal crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man!" Killian sang.
Rumple joined him on the chorus, twirling his little cane.
Belle grinned. "Wait'll Selene sees him!" she whispered.
"Yeah, she's gonna have a hot flash!" giggled Rumple.
"What's a hot flash?" Killian asked.
"Do I want to know what's going on here?" Archie asked.
"It's a thing girls get when they see a hot guy," Rumple told him. "Then they fan themselves."
"That's not me," Archie muttered.
'You never know," Regina said. "You just gotta believe."
That was odd coming from her when he thought back to all the times she knocked him down verbally. Then again, that was before she had become a child again and gone through all the adventures she had with the Nevengers. They'd all changed in wonderful ways.
"Some girl's gonna really like you an' well say we tole ya so!" Regina boasted.
"It could happen," Rumple said sagely.
"Okay guys we gotta go through security now." Bae said.
They were approaching a gate with uniformed guards and x-ray machines on conveyor belts.
"Whoa!" Killian exclaimed.
"Ummm...what're they gonna do, Bae?" Rumple asked nervously.
"Don't be scared, buddy," his son reassured him. "They're gonna have us take off our shoes and jackets and put them in the basket there and send them through a machine. Then we have to walk through that little doorway there. They just want to make sure we don't have anything dangerous on us."
"Huh? M'not takin' my shoes off! I'll get germs in my feet!"
"Rumple, you've got your socks on!" Bae chuckled.
Belle wrinkled her nose. "Ewww...if ya don't have socks on your feet'll stink!"
"Yeah but goin' round in public in your socks is...uncivilized!" said the little sorcerer.
A man behind them on line began to laugh. "What's wrong with that kid? He acts like he's afraid to get dirt on him."
Three adults turned around and glared at him.
"I don't like gettin' dirt on me...do you?" Rumple asked angrily.
"Prolly lives in a barn," Killian added.
"Yeah, you gotta problem with that?" demanded Regina, giving him one of her Evil Queen glares.
"Meanie!" Belle snapped.
The man flushed. "Kids these days! They're either sissies or smartasses!"
"Yeah well we ain't sissies, we's the Nevengers an' don't ya forget it!" Killian retorted.
The man snorted. "Whaddya think you are, some kinda superheroes?"
He made a twirling circled at his temple.
"We kick butts an take names but yous the crazy one!" yelled Regina.
"Oh right! A cripple, two girls, and a little tadpole," the man sneered. "You've got a big imagination."
"And you it seems need a lesson on not bullying children!" Archie said angrily.
"Yeah, watch your mouth, buddy!" Bae said, scowling.
"Unless you want to have a few teeth knocked out," snarled Emma.
"And get sued for discrimination against disabled people!" Rumple added.
"An I'm not a tadpole...I'll kick ya in the nuts!" yelled Killian.
The man backed away, muttering about crazy children who talked like encyclopedias.
The children removed their shoes, still worried Rumple was right and they would pick up germs off the floor that may have looked clean. They still couldn't forget him telling them about a TV show where they took a special light to a darkened hotel room and showed all the dirt and grime where it was supposed to be clean.
Rumple made a face. "This is so unsanitary."
The woman who ran the X-ray machine looked over at him and said, "Aww! That's really adorable!" Then she said, "Umm . . . I'm afraid you have to put your cane in the basket, sweetie."
"Huh! I can't...I need it to walk!"
"But . . . those are the rules," she sighed. "Can't your daddy carry you?"
He looked up at Bae.
"I can, if that's permitted," Bae said.
"It is," she answered.
"Okay, Rumple, put it in," Bae said softly.
"Better not get Athlete's foot or m'gonna sue somebody!" Regina huffed.
Rumple put his cane in the basket and then Bae picked him up to walk through the scanner.
"Sir, you'll have to put your umbrella in there too," the attendant said to Archie.
"What? Oh...I'm sorry about that," Archie stammered.
"Better hope they don't want your glasses too," Belle mumbled thinking all of this was silly.
Emma put her purse through the conveyor belt and walked through the scanner.
"What's that thing do?" Belle asked, pointing at the scanner.
"It X-rays you and makes sure you don't have anything dangerous on you, like a knife or something," answered the attendant.
"You can see my bones?" She was horrified.
"I'm sure it's all right, Belle," Archie soothed.
"Gross!" Killian made a face.
"Eww!" Regina yelped. "That's a 'vasion of privacy!"
"Only a doctor's sposta see my bones!" Belle cried.
"Err . . .it's only for a minute and we really don't see your bones, just an . .umm . . outline," the woman explained.
"There. That's not so bad is it, Belle?" Archie was grateful to the attendant for being so patient with the kids.
"You ever worried you're gonna get radiation sickness and die?" Rumple queried artlessly. "It could happen."
"Umm . . .umm . . ." the attendant was struggling not to laugh.
"N-no because . . .it's not a high dose at all. So no worries, little guy." She looked at Bae. "Your son is adorable! I love his hair. And he's very smart!"
"Thanks an' ummm...yeah he is."
Belle held her arms out to Archie to be picked up.
He chuckled. "Okay...come on."
"She's a sweet little girl. Yours?"
"Ummm...no...no I'm not married."
The Nevengers winked at each other.
Belle however, wanted to make sure he saw Selene first before they started thinking about setting him up with another girl. She shook her head at the others. They nodded and continued through the line.
While they were walking Regina screeched and ducked behind Henry. "Ewwwww...Ewwwww!"
"What is it, Regina?"
"Lookit...it's a ROACH!"
"Ahhh!" screamed a woman behind them.
"Get the Raid!"
"Kill it, Henry!" Regina pleaded. "Stomp it good!"
"Don't wanna do that, little lady…could leave eggs behind," a man said as he passed them.
Belle clung to Archie. "Ewww...bugs...an' we put our feet on the floor!"
"Bae, we need an exterminator!" Rumple whimpered.
"Yeah where's the Bug Terminator?" Killian asked.
"I'm going to speak to customer service!" muttered an elderly lady. "It's disgraceful!"
"An' unsanitary!" Rumple added.
"Sgusting!" Regina said
"Look guys...there's our plane." Emma pointed out the window at the aircraft, hoping to calm them a bit.
"Whoa! It's so big!" exclaimed Rumple in awe.
"Kinda does look like a big bird," Killian said.
"With metal wings," Regina said.
"How long we gonna be in it?" Belle asked.
"Uh two and a half hours," Bae replied.
"That's not very long," Archie spoke up. "Some flights are longer, Belle."
"They are?"
"Yes...the farther you travel."
Emma wondered how comfortable she would be in her seat. She was barely comfortable at home anymore. She hoped they would at least have a pillow or two for her neck and back.
When they boarded the plane and took their seats, one of the men in front of them glanced back and scowled.
"Great...Kids!"
Killian smirked, wanting to teach him a lesson. He remembered seeing an episode of Family Guy where Stewie got revenge on a rude passenger.
"Awww ya don't wanna sit 'front of a kid eh...? For the next two hours you're gonna be my bitch!"
"Killian!" Emma cried.
"What? He's bein rude!"
"And we've spoken to you about your language. You want to taste Ivory?"
"Ummm...nooo but..."
"No buts. Language, mister."
"Damn kids," the passenger mumbled.
"WAAAAAA Mommy, he's makin' fun of meeeee!" Killian mock wailed.
The other Nevengers giggled in their seats.
"Killian...enough, please." Emma pleaded.
"Shoulda left em at home, lady!"
Regina glared over at him. "Ya don't leave kids at home alone ya MO-RON!"
"Yeah, that's child abuse an' you could go to jail!" piped up the tiny attorney.
"Hope you don't have kids 'cause then ya'd be a deadbeat dad!" added Belle.
Henry almost fell out of his seat laughing while he recorded the event for posterity.
"Okay guys, calm down." Bae scolded gently.
"If this guy learns how ta be nice," Killian said.
Archie almost pitied the man...almost.
"Kids...shouldn't be seen nor heard...pains in the ass...owwww!"
Killian lifted his feet and kicked the seat hard.
Emma and Bae groaned. This was going to be a LONG flight. "Killian...settle down and ignore him."
A woman sitting in front of Regina, Henry and Rumple looked back and snorted. "This is why children should not be allowed on planes. They don't know how to behave themselves."
"Hey dearie, he started it!" Rumple said angrily.
"Rumple, ignore it," Bae reminded him.
"Young man, you should discipline your children better and they would behave better!"
"Lady, are ya deaf? HE started it!" Belle stood up in her seat and turned around, glaring at the woman.
"Belle, sit down," Archie commanded firmly.
"Uh-uh. She has no right to tell Bae he don't know how to discipline us cause we didn't start this, that mean ol guy 'front a Killian did!"
Regina and Rumple kicked the back of his seat where the woman was sitting.
"Stop it! You want to get us thrown off the plane?" Bae demanded of the kids.
"Ummm...no," they chorused.
"Rumple, Killian, and Regina, stop kicking the seats!"
"Belle, sit down." Archie said again.
The four children sulked in their seats.
Henry took turns letting Rumple and Regina play a game with him on his tablet while Bae distracted Killian by playing a movie on his tablet. Emma was watching an episode of Law and Order SVU on hers. Archie and Belle were reading books.
"Welcome to Orlando!" came the announcement over the intercom. They were ready for Disney World, but it was debatable whether Disney World was ready for them!
