"..And so really the story is about how two people can find each other even when.." Belle was saying as she looked down at the opened book on her lap, but stopped when she looked up at the man sitting beside her on the park bench who had his arm around her shoulders. "Will?" she said when she noticed he was staring off into space, clearly not paying attention.

"Hm? Yeah," he replied when he looked over at her. "Are you okay?" she asked as she closed the book and a gave him a look of concern. Will stretched, "Oh yeah, just thinking about lunch," he answered with a slight grin.

It wasn't a total lie, he had been thinking about appeasing his hunger, but it was definitely not the only thing on his mind. Belle took out her phone from her bag and checked the time, "I guess I didn't realize how long we've been out here," she said, sounding surprised as she put the phone and book back in the bag.

She then gave Will a smile, "Would you like to go to Granny's to pick up something? I have to get back to the library" Will smiled back at her, she was such good company and easy to talk to.

They had only been dating for a couple of weeks, but every day with her seemed to get better than the last and he found himself enjoying it, but it also confused him. He loved the woman he left behind and there were moments he had this pull to go back to her, but then he would be spending time with Belle and realize how good she was to him and how she made him smile. In truth, he didn't feel his love for Belle ran as deep as his love for Anastasia, how could it after everything he went through with Ana, but even he had to admit staying in Storybrooke with Belle was a nice escape from castle life.

So Will nodded in agreement to another peaceful lunch with the brunette and stood, extending a hand to help his girlfriend up. Belle smiled and took his hand and the pair headed to the diner.

Across town there was an explosion in the ground, forming a hole and the white rabbit climbed out onto firm ground. He dusted his jacket off as Ana followed him out of the hole. Percy looked up to find that they were on the road partially and a car was heading their way. "Get out of the way!" he instructed Ana urgently as he hurried into the alley nearby. Ana barely had time to follow him out of the way into the alley before the car had to swerve to miss the giant hole in the road. The rabbit and queen watched the car drive away.

Ana then looked at Percy, trying to catch her breath, "What was that?" she asked with a mixture of surprise and annoyance. "It's called a car, this realm's horse and carriage and you're best to stay out of the road," he answered then looked her over, "You're going to stand out in that outfit, you may want to get into something less noticeable."

Ana looked down at her fancy dress and jewelry before raising an eyebrow at him, "And people here are used to a talking rabbit?" Percy didn't answer at first, she had a good point, "Well no, but we may not want to stand out too much."

Ana rolled her eyes and went over to peek around the building to catch a glimpse of the people walking around outside. She raised an eyebrow at their odd clothing before moving back to where Percy waited. She waved her hand and her dress, heels and jewels were replaced with a pastel pink fuzzy sweater, dark blue jeans, black boots and an off-white scarf.

She looked down at the odd outfit and scrunched up her nose some at the pants and lack of corset. "Women here really wear things like this?" she asked, confused. "Yes, you'll get used to it," the rabbit answered, "Now shall we get going?" "Do you know where Will could be?" Ana asked, deciding to ignore his impatient tone.

The rabbit looked down in thought, "When I came here to get him to save Alice he was in the diner.." at her confused look he explained, "a diner is a place people gather to eat and drink." Ana nodded in understanding, sounded like the perfect place for Will.

Will held the door open for Belle as they made it to Granny's diner. He smiled as she walked in then followed her. Normally others in the diner didn't pay them any mind but today there was a girl, who appeared to be in her early 20s, watching them from a booth near the back.

She had dark hair that reached her shoulder blades. She also wore a simple long sleeved white baggy shirt with the letters NY and a picture of the Statue of Liberty underneath, along with light blue jeans that had holes in the knees and basic tennis shoes. She narrowed her smokey blue eyes as she watched the couple, fidgeting with a bracelet she wore. It had a leather strap woven in and out of red and white wooden block beads that circled around her wrist and met at a small, working hourglass turned on its side in the middle.

She kept her eyes on Will and Belle as they got food to go, her own drink and fries already finished. "Here's your tab, you sure that'll be all?" she heard Granny ask and block her view of the two as she walked up to the table. The girl looked up at the older woman and nodded silently. She got out a small change purse from her pocket and looked inside to realize she didn't even have enough money for those two items.

Granny moved to lean against the back of the booth in a casual conversation way as she looked at the girl, "So you're not from around here are you?" The girl wasn't paying attention as she looked back at the checkout counter where a tip was being left on it by Will and Belle and Belle was trying to stop Will from sneaking the money back into his pocket by pulling him along with, her with a laugh, out of the diner.

The girl looked back at the money left and underneath the table she held the palm of one hand out and waved the other hand over it so that the money magically appeared in her hand. She quickly stuffed it in the purse before bringing it up above the table and pulling it out along with what she already had and placed it on the table.

"Keep the change," the young woman said as she stood and headed for the door, leaving a confused granny to watch her leave without having her question answered.

The girl walked down the street after having left the diner, looking down at her bracelet which she started messing with again. It didn't take long before she bumped into someone who was also distracted.

"Sorry, I.." the girl started to apologize but went quiet when she looked up at the other person. It was a woman who looked to be about her age but a little older with a talking rabbit traveling beside. Ana had been looking down at the rabbit when she felt the girl walk into her.

"You should be careful," Ana told the girl, but her tone wasn't angry. In fact, it sounded as if she was just trying to give her advice, but perhaps with an impatient undertone.

The girl didn't reply at first, she was still staring at Ana as if she saw a ghost. Finally she shook her head, "Right," she said quietly.

"My name's Anastasia," the blonde spoke again, "and I'm looking for someone named Will Scarlet. Do you know where I can find him?" The girl looked Ana over, pausing briefly on her stomach before looking back at her face, "No. Sorry, I can't help you," the girl replied before walking past Ana and continuing on her way.

Ana turned to watch her walk away with a confused frown, "and I didn't catch your name." The girl looked back at her but kept waking, "That's because I didn't give you one," she called back before smirking slightly, "good luck finding your Will Scarlet," and with that she was on her way.

The rabbit tilted his head as they watched the girl leave, "Well someone wasn't taught manners," he said before looking up at Ana, but she didn't seem to have heard him as she stared after the peculiar girl.
