TEXT: [ Enchanted Forest - Nine Mouths Ago ] [SCENE_BREAK] (James is walking into Regina's castle. He opens a door, Emma's nursery is behind.) James: This... This is impossible. This shouldn't be here. This is all wrong. Emma: You're right. A full-grown princess still living in her nursery? (Emma wears a ball dress.) Emma: I don't even have a proper vanity. James: Emma, what... What are you doing here? Emma: I was looking for a place to practice. I'm a little nervous about tonight. James: Tonight? What's tonight? Emma: The ball. You know I've never been to one before. I don't even know how to dance. Teach me. (They start to dance.) James: You're a natural, just like your mother. Emma: And you are the best teacher... A daughter could hope for. James: Oh, Emma, this is everything I ever hoped for you. Emma: Me, too. It's a shame I never got it. James: What do you mean? Emma: I'm not really here. I was never here. I should be, but I'm not, all for one reason... You failed me. (The lights turns off. Toys falls down. Emma's dress is dirty. Le wardrobe opens and sucks up Emma. James catches her hand.) Emma: Goodbye, daddy! James: Emma, I'm sorry! I'll save you! Emma: No! You can't save me! You failed me! There's nothing you can do! James: No, Emma! Emma: Don't fail the next one. (Emma disappears.) James: Emma! Emma: Don't fail the next one... Don't fail the next one... [SCENE_BREAK] (James wakes up, he had a nightmare.) James: Snow? Snow White: Look who's awake. Come look at this view, Charming. I'd forgotten how beautiful it was here. James: Someone's in a good mood. Snow White: I am. I have some pretty wonderful news
