Morgan
This is not a good day to be me—not only am I dealing with caffeine headaches and a ditzy Princess, but I am traveling with a guy who thinks he's my biological father and keeps insisting that he is no matter how many times I tell him to shove his big news up his ass. "Why don't you just admit you need help and quite moping," Hook asks for the tenth time in the space of three minutes.
"Why don't you go jump off the nearest cliff and see if you can fly," I ask in the sweetest voice I can manage. He frowns at my answer, adjusting the strap of his satchel that had twisted on his shoulder. Satisfied that he would leave me alone, I smile a little and skip to catch up with Snow White, whistling The Blood of Cu Chulainn (Boondock Saints Theme) as quietly as I can. Snow smiles a little, letting out a little huff when she recognizes the tune.
"Up ahead, we'll find the compass just over the ridge." He looks at us over his shoulder.
"Do you get the feeling he's leading us exactly where Cora wants us, that this whole thing's a trap," Snow questions.
"It's definitely a trap," Emma nods. "As long as we know they're trying to play us, we can—"
"Stay one step ahead of them." I smile, leaning on Snow slightly as we continue to move up the incline. I guess that old stereotype about blondes being dumb isn't exactly true after all. At the top of the ridge I move to stand between Emma and Hook, looking slack-jawed at the beanstalk that disappears into the clouds. I've heard of them, but never actually seen one before that wasn't in a book.
"Let me guess, the compass in up there." Hook nods with a grin. He's actually looking forward to this shit? "So how do we….Get to it?"
"It's not the climb you need to worry about," he assures her. "It's the Giant at the top."
"You're joking right," I ask, shaking my head. "Everyone knows that Giants are rare nowadays because of Jack." Hooks grin widens as he shrugs, moving to lead the way down the ridge towards the beanstalk.
Storybrooke
Gold looks up as the bell above his shop door jingles, finding Whale walking in with an ice chest carried in his remaining arm. He sets the chest on the display case and pushes it over to Gold, a resolute expression in his face. Gold simply looks down at the chest, wanting Whale to open it in case there was something….unsafe inside. Instead of what Gold was half expecting—some half-cocked plan to murder him—he finds Whale's severed arm inside and smirks. "When they say I charge an arm and a leg, that's meant as a figure of speech."
"Put it back," Whale demands.
"You want me to reattach your arm?" He laughs a little, walking behind the display case, so he was almost out of Whale's limited reach. No need to take unnecessary chances.
"Can you do it?"
"Of course, but first, tell me why."
"Because I want to use it again."
"Obviously. I meant, why bring that stable boy back from the dead? Why now?" Was guilt kicking in after all these years? Whale looks pained, closing his eyes as he tries to explain his reasoning. It's a good job he didn't feel like this when Rumple first approached him or none of this would be happening and he'd be stuck with that idiot gypsy he'd chosen to temporarily replace Regina.
"I thought….I thought that if I helped her, she would return me to my world." Ah, so not guilt after all, purely selfish reasoning. "I want to see my brother, to try and bring him back again."
"Again?"
"The first time ended badly. I need to return and try it once more."
"Well, it seems that's rather beyond her abilities. My condolences." If it were possible to travel through worlds without a powerful curse or Jefferson's hat, he would already have his daughter back and she would ever have met Killian Jones.
"Now my arm. You said you can do it."
"Oh, yes," Gold nods," but there's a difference between can and will."
"Name your price."
"Say it."
"Say what?"
"You know what. You came here, not the hospital. So say it." Whale gives a dry chuckle, looking torn between pride and the want of his arm. Carefully, he works his jacket off, revealing the bloody stump that stop a little under in shoulder.
"I need magic." Gold smiles, glad to have finally won their little wager.
"That's all I needed to hear." He waves his hand, his magic reconnecting the severed arm to the stump—muscles, ligament, bones, and all. Everything back to normal except for the blood soaking his shirt. Whale examines it as though he didn't really expect Gold to complete the task. "Always a pleasure doing business with you, uh, Victor."
Fidget
As a cat, Fidget liked to think he was quite intelligent compared to most animals and even some humans. Rumpelstiltskin knows that and it's why he's lasted this long besides the fact Aveena took an immediate liking to him. Thinking of his human causes his to frown—well, to frown as well as a cat was able. She has been gone for going on two weeks now and he didn't like it one little bit.
Sure, Trista would give him the occasional pat and the Dark One would keep his food and water dishes filled, but it wasn't the same. He missed having a warm body to snuggle next to at night, missed watching his human dancing around her room and singing nonsense songs into her hairbrush, he even misses sitting uncomfortably close to the water on the rare occasion that Aveena took him to the docks with her.
In short, he misses his human very much. His tail twitching back and forth, Fidget jumps up onto the window sill, looking down at the town of Storybrooke with disinterest. There was nothing for a cat like himself to do in a place like this, even the mice are boring! He brings one paw up to his mouth, cleaning his black fur absently until a foul taste makes him jerk back hard enough that he falls from the window sill and onto the floor.
Despite the popularity of the saying, not all cats actually land on their feet. He stares down at the paw he'd tried to groom, his tongue hanging out of his mouth in disgust. That had never happened to him before. Bringing the paw closer, he smells it and flinches back. That is disgusting! How can anyone around here expect him to survive smelling like garbage? He wants his human back, at least that way he would be bathed regularly and smell nice and fresh.
Resigned to having to do everything himself, Fidget makes his way into the bathroom and hops up onto the side of the large porcelain tub that Aveena relaxed in nightly. Surely it can't be too hard to figure out. After all, the only real difference between him and humans is that their paws are shaped differently. Something about being all thumbs or some nonsense. Who the hell needs thumbs? They look ridiculous and claws are much better tools than thumbs will ever be.
Carefully, he edges forwards to the two metal things that release the water, using his small paws to make one of them move. Unfortunately for him, not only does the water come out, but his back paw slips and he finds himself drenched in cold water at the bottom of the tub. Letting out an irritated hiss, Fidget scrambles to knock in his soap, the pink ooze spreading out on top of the water.
Yes, I did just do a cat's point of view, lol. Another short chapter, but it was this or nothing. *Shrugs* Hope you like it!
