The Story: .

[Helena is happy to be a host for all to watch this movie of Robin Hood. It's so amusing because he is actually here in Wonderland, and he is not a fox, so she is excited to see what he thinks about this story of his life. She has many things thanks to the closet, bean bag chairs and a nice couch and chairs. Many snacks as well for all the people if they arrive but if not, much food for her to enjoy. Pizza, chips, M&Ms and donuts. Also soda and juice. If people bring their own things, they do not have to share and it can be all for them.

The movie will start promptly at seven, no exceptions, and there is a seat reserved just for Robin Hood himself, right next to her.]

Medieval banjos? [She has no freakin' clue, but she's gonna offer that, because maybe Henry likes smart girls.

Anyway.] You gotta love a guy who could probably be doing that job anywhere and, instead, he's just following a great guy like Robin Hood around. Everyone else doesn't have much to lose, but minstrels are a big deal in old times.

[henrydaniel]

I think 'medieval banjo' is the technical term. [He knows it's not right but he has no idea what it's actually called, so he's going with it.]

Have you met the real Robin Hood? He's here, but I've never asked him if there really was a guy following him around and singing.

[powerofmabel]

Hold up. The real Robin Hood is here? [she clutches her face.] Is he another one of your fairy tale relatives?

[even without knowing anything, people assume the entire OUAT cast is related to Henry. It's a thing.]

[henrydaniel]

Kind of? He's dating my mom. Well, one of them. My other mom is dating Captain Hook.

[A) It's a correct assumption. B) talking about this part of it is much much MUCH better than talking about how neither of them are really dating anyone because they're evil right now. At least, Henry assumes the Dark One doesn't have time for dating.]

[powerofmabel]

[Mabel blinks at him for a moment.]

Your life sounds so amazing.

[marry her.]

[henrydaniel]

[He can't help but smile softly at her, though it doesn't really reach his eyes.]

It's not always.

[He doesn't want to bring this down though, it isn't right or fair, so he makes his smile wider.]

I got to steer a pirate ship. And I've used pixie dust to fly.

[Henry wants to keep Mabel smiling, because right now, that's more important than talking about the things happening with his family.]

[powerofmabel]

[her expression falters for a second, but as he moves on, so does she, eager to keep the happy going.]

Like that pirate ship out on the water? [Mabel's been sort of fixated on the pirate ship for awhile now, seeing as her birthday is coming up and they need a theme and pirates sounds like an amazing theme and...

and now she's distracted, because pixie dust.] Whoa. Whoa. Wait. Pixie dust?? Can you get that from the closets?? I mean... Dipper and I have jetpacks, so we don't really need it to fly, but who says no to pixie dust. I think happy thoughts all the time! I'd be a pixie dust ninja.

[henrydaniel]

Yeah, it's Captain Hook's ship. The Jolly Roger?

[And then she poses a really good question.]

Actually, I dunno. It kind of seems like something the vendors would want to be able to take a memory for, though. You could always try it and see what happens?

[powerofmabel]

[her face falls a bit and she tugs on her sweater.] Yeah, if it's a vendor thing, it's a no-go. I already lost one memory to the Core, and that was awful.

[henrydaniel]

[Henry is immediately concerned, his forehead creasing as he looks at her.]

Mabel, what? What happened? That had to be...was that during the rips?

[This just makes him feel bad, and if any of his attention had been wandering, it's completely on her now.]

[powerofmabel]

[She grimaces, trying to play it off with an awkward laugh.] Yeah... and I mean it was more like the Core itself was awful. And the queen was awful. But who actually uses their parents' names, right? It's not something I need to know.

[henrydaniel]

[He does just call his parents mom, mom, and dad here. But still. Sometimes he has to differentiate between the two moms. Although. Maybe not now so much anymore. His face softens though, looking at Mabel.]

But...you were okay otherwise? I mean it doesn't...the Core didn't do anything to you?

[powerofmabel]

Except for the memory thing. [she kicks her feet back and forth.] And gave me, like, five ice cream headaches at once.

[henrydaniel]

[Just because he's been in a bad mood, doesn't mean he doesn't care and isn't concerned, and he reaches out to hug Mabel, just briefly before he remembers not everyone is as good with the random hugging as he is.]

Still. I'm glad you're okay. I don't trust a lot about this place, but especially the other side.

[powerofmabel]

[she's definitely a hugging person and she wraps her arms around him tightly to make sure he doesn't let go suddenly. let her enjoy it.]

Hey, I'll be fine. [she manages to keep the delight out of her voice, even if she can't keep it off her expression. Fortunately, she can't see that.] Dipper and I know what we're doing.

[henrydaniel]

[Henry just can't really lose anyone else, family or friend, and he pulls back with a sheepish smile at the display of...whatever that was.]

I know. He told me you guys go on adventures all the time back home. Which must be pretty awesome.

[powerofmabel]

[a preteen girl who is at least decent enough to NOT try and smell your hair. just go with it, henry. shh. shh.]

Pretty much. Facing down candy monsters, child psychopaths, evil triangles... [she's trying to sound casual about it, even if all of those things have been varying degrees of traumatizing.] All in a day's work, y'know?

[henrydaniel]

Sounds like my kind of day's work. Which is why I'm gonna see if I can get a magic bean soon. So I can grow a few from it, and then...maybe I can visit you.

[He pauses for a second.]

Candy monster, though? I'm trying to remember it's apparently a really bad thing. Even if it sounds kind of...cool.

[powerofmabel]

[her cheeks flush scarlet and she tugs on the collar of her sweater a bit, giggling like a schoolgirl.]

There were two... Once was made of gross loser candy and tried to eat us. The other was like this little naked troll guy who just kept eating our candy, so at least one of 'em was kinda easy to get along with.

[henrydaniel]

Mabel? Your world sounds kind of crazy, and I really wanna see it.

[It's completely genuine, it sounds really chaotic, but in a way that's totally different from Storybrooke.]
