[The locket turns on to show Snow sitting cross-legged on her bed, a rather large book at her lap, titled 'Once Upon a Time'. Which is decidedly familiar to at least one particular other. If not various others in some more vague way. Fairytales. Though the ones in this particular book aren't quite the traditional ones most would be familiar with. She sets the locket to try show the pages, the pictures and at least some of the text.]
I know others probably had gifts recently, from home. This is what I was given. A book I found in my wardrobe and gave to my grandson. It has stories from our world. From the Enchanted Forest. Stories most probably consider fairytales for children. I thought I'd read at least one of them.
[When Snow White meets her Prince Charming. Of course. To show people aren't always as they seem. To show even if some might disagree initially, they can work together. Can come to care about each other in spite of the obstacles surrounding them.
She tells the story, starting from Charming and his fiance in the carriage, the road being blocked by a tree in a trap from a bandit who steals some jewels from the carriage when the prince gets out to find out what the hold up is. Chasing the bandit, he realizes it is a woman. She smacks him over the head with a rock and flees, only to later get caught in his trap, held up in a net. Between the banter and blackmail - him threatening to tell the Queen he's found the infamous Snow White, she agrees to help him get his ring back for his fiance. They go to the Troll Bridge and she uses her pixie dust to defeat them and save his life. The honorable thing to do. After returning the ring to him as they agreed, they part ways. Not yet realizing just how much of an impact this meeting would have.
There's a hint of an almost bittersweet smile at her lips as she reads, as she finishes that particular chapter and closes the book at her lap. Memories. Charming. How much she misses him in all of this.]
And that's how Snow White met Prince 'Charming'. Or, rather, the Shepard. But we can continue that story another time. Most of you probably already have plenty of questions from that as it is, I imagine.
[Really. Because. Snow please. At least Charming has a scar to forever remind him of said meeting with his future wife. Best first impressions.....]

[But surely. Eventually. He'd find her. Or she would find her way back to him. This likely only more confirms she's a different Snow to the one he met, but that's no reason to ignore him or shun him for his actions back home. Intentions must be taken into account. His being placed in Seelie counts for something, surely.]
At least I have Emma. I didn't know if I'd see her again, after....after things back home.

[Terra knows and understands by now that she and the Snow White back home are two different people, just like he's coming to realize the same for the Zack he knows here and the one he met at the Coliseum. He gives her a smile, if not a bit of a small one. He was lucky that he had Aqua and Riku and, yes, even Zack because of the familiarity, but he can't imagine spending a year here and being the only one from home.]
If he's anything like my friends, he'll turn up. We have...a knack for finding each other.

[She's hardly unused to being apart from family. But part of that is that they always do have a knack for finding each other, as Terra says. The Charmings are no different in their steadfast determination to stick together. His vow to always find her. Whatever the circumstances, however long that might take.]
Either that or I'll find my way back to him. We always find each other. He promised that the same day we met. And he always has. Every time.
