Aiden was focused on cleaning up the jammy mess, scrubbing and scrubbing making sure there wasn't a trace of it left. He thought about the message and what it could have meant, Sleeping Beauty? Was he really going to come back tomorrow like the message declared? How did he even know about her? Was it even a he? Was Gold behind this as he was one of a the incredibly few people who knew about her? Aidens mind raced with questions which raised more questions which in turned raised more none of which could be answered.
Turning he faced Charlie and watched her as she moved gracefully despite the odd tremble, she had to get out of here it as clearly still bothering her, maybe at home she would at least feel safe-er. Aiden rolled up his sleeves and moved over to wash his hands before standing next to her, her once radiant aura had become duller than normal and it killed him on the inside. Aiden would bring her radiant aurora back to its full brightness even though it was bring his heart to his knees as it was he wanted it back for her.
"So what are we making?"

Relaxing even more at having him by her side, she smiled more easily. "Chocolate chip cookies." She'd already finished one and a half trays so she was halfway done. She held out a small spoon for him to dish out cookie dough. "Have you made chocolate chip cookies before?"

"Have you made chocolate chip cookies before?"
Aiden graciously accepted the spoon from Charlie. He scooped a glob of dough on to the tray and tried to make it into a circle, instead it was an uneven circleish mess.
"Um, no, no I haven't. I struggle to make toast without burning it."

She laughed as he unceremoniously plopped a huge chunk of cookie dough onto the cookie sheet. "No, no, not like that," she said in amusement. She took his hand and smoothed it open, palm up. "Here," she said, breaking the piece of the huge chunk in half, placing half in his open palm and keeping half for herself. "You form the dough first, like this," she said, gently rolling it between her palms before placing it evenly spaced between the others.

The cool touch of her skin was electrifying and made his heart beat faster.
"You form the dough first, like this,"
Aiden copied the graceful way she formed the dough slowly he begun to stop as the smell of her skin filled his nostril and thoughts of holding her close all tight filled his head. Thoughts of stars shining on the dark blanket of the night surrounding the shimmering moon as the two danced underneath them becoming one love, one life, one soul, l falling into forever. A smile forced its way onto his stern featured face, she was covered in flour and other bakery delights but he didn't care there was something about Charlie that made everything seem right. His existentially forsaken crisis completely disappeared when bathed in her radiance and he liked that.
"I could watch your cookies till the end of time... NO I meant your form, I could watch your form forever... Wait no... aw screw it."
Aiden dropped his the abomination of cookie dough he was mindlessly forming and brushed some hair behind Charlies ear before leaning and kissing her.

She monitored his progress and when his hands slowed, she looked up to see what was the matter. He looked lost in thought then suddenly, his usually stern yet handsome features softened into a smile and her breath hitched. She had a feeling it was a rare occurrence, to be on the receiving end of one of his smiles, and how was it possible that he could be even more handsome?
"I could watch your cookies till the end of time... NO I meant your form, I could watch your form forever... Wait no... aw screw it."
She giggled with the relief that she was affecting him the same way he'd been affecting her and immediately sobered when his fingers gently grazed her cheek as he tucked her hair behind her ear. Her eyes locked on his and her breath held in anticipation as he leaned in. Her eyes fluttered closed as his lips met hers. She felt his heart thumping just as quickly as her own as her hands came to rest on his chest. It was a brief, gentle caress as if asking if this was what she wanted too and in answer, her hands gripped the material of his shirt as she lifted to her toes to kiss him back.

Aiden's heart beat faster as he was pulled into her his hands fell into place resting on her hips while the air around them crackled with the enchantment of their synergy. A strange peculiar feeling washed over him as their lips parted but remained in each others embrace, he stared into her deep beautiful golden eyes and felt no ounce of fear knowing everything would be alright with her. Aiden felt as though he was living in a new world, one where she was everything he needed, one where everything could be put right just by opening a door and seeing her face. Peculiar, strange none of it really mattered with her even if he didn't know what to say to her deep beautiful golden eyes.
"Hello."

"Hi," she answered back as she gazed into the blue depths of his eyes. The simple exchange was fitting. She felt as if she was really seeing him, really meeting him for the first time. Charlie felt she'd be content to stay like this forever, gazing at him, watching him gaze back as they held each other close. But time was not on her side and the realization pulled her from the trance. She didn't want this to end but it had to. Charlie wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her cheek against his chest, closing her eyes as she memorized the feeling of this moment.
She hummed a sigh of content before grudgingly breaking the spell, pulling back to look up at him with reluctance. "My aunts will start to worry if I'm not home soon," she said. She picked at the small bits of cookie dough that had transferred from her hands to the front of his shirt and she grinned in amusement.

"My aunts will start to worry if I'm not home soon,"
Aiden cupped her hands within his own, even covered by cookie dough her skin was soft and her touch was heavenly. "Then I should probably stop distracting you so you can get it done and I can offer you that door to door service as promised"

The clock, which has been stuck at 8:15 for as long as anyone can remember, began to move once again promptly at 8:15 p.m.
Several hours pass. It is now the morning after the clock has started.
A few may have noticed the clock moving last night and those close enough may have realized when it chimed the 9 p.m. hour. Others may have learned by word of mouth or not until they next arrived in town.

***Chaiden enter from The Woods***
As the couple approached the bakery Aiden released his hand from Charlie's instead he place his hand on her waist pulling her in front of him wrapping his arms around her waist holding her tightly against him his chin resting on her shoulder every fiber of his being unwilling to let her go. He wanted nothing more than to hold her, protect her and love her.
"Is it selfish to want you to stay? Even going as far as to bring you stars upon stars so you wouldn't leave..."

Charlie wrapped her arms around his neck in turn, squeezing tight before letting go. She smiled at the whimsical image he weaved with his words.
"Should my aunts catch you here, all the stars in the sky couldn't stop them from chasing after you, wielding various kitchen utensils. Now go, get some sleep. I know you've been up all night watching over my cabin," she chastised. The corners of her lips twitched upward into a hint of a smile. "Even knights in shining armor need their sleep."
The clock chimed the hour and Charlie panicked. It was far later than she realized. "Go, go," she said, shooing him away as she dug out her key. "I have a lot of work to catch up on!" The door swung open and she quickly turned to give him a quick kiss on the cheek before disappearing inside.
Charlie switched on the lights and started to tie on her apron as she took a step forward, paused when her foot sent something skidding across the floor. She grabbed the folded up piece of paper and shoved it into her apron pocket, assuming it was a note from Callie reminding her that she had a breakfast date and would be in late. The note was forgotten as fast as it was discovered as Charlie rushed around the kitchen.

She'd had to make up for lost time by working at full steam, running around the kitchen preparing various goodies. She'd managed to have the stoves loaded and baking with a couple trays awaiting their turn for the oven.
Her aunts had arrived just as Charlie was taking the first batches out of the oven. "Good morning," she said cheerily as she started transferring pastries from baking sheet to tray.
They smiled back, each saying the same in turn. Nothing seemed amiss to them. Charlie had been in a good mood every day, all day since they'd given in and let her have her bakery. Aunt Ivy headed straight to the front to open shop and Aunts Merry and Fae a couple minutes after when Charlie had handed them each a tray.
The ovens were loaded anew with the rest of the breakfast style goodies and pans and trays of the dessert variety were neatly lined up on the counters. She fell into a chair and let out a tired breath of relief as she looked at her work. Apparently, she'd forgotten to switch out of rush mode. There would be more to do but for now, she was ahead and needed to stop before she keeled over.
The sound of voices from the front drifted her way, amplified when Aunt Fae opened the door and bustled in. "Your cinnamon swirl coffee cakes seem to be a big hit. They're flying off the shelves--or trays, as it were."
Charlie smiled and pointed to a tray with two loaves of it neatly sliced and cooling on a tray. She had noticed their popularity growing which is why she'd increased her batches of it. "It sounds busy," she said, smiling again though there was a sadness in it. She longed to be part of that commotion.
Aunt Fae saw the sad longing behind her niece's smile and gave a patient smile in return. What had been discussed a million times already didn't need to be discussed again so she didn't address it. "You've been working especially hard this morning, my dear," she said, taking in the counters full of pans and trays. "Why don't you relax for a bit. Perhaps a little fresh air." Her aunt started for the door and paused. "If you do go out--"
"'Stay out of sight but don't go too far'," Rose finished on behalf of her aunt. Charlie gave a child-like exaggerated sigh to amuse her aunt. "I know," she said in quiet defeat to the door closing behind her aunt.

Charlie thought about what she should do with her break. She started for her satchel, intending to finally start reading the book Henry had lent her but then recalled that she'd forgotten to ask Aiden about Thumper. Surely he would be fine by now. Charlie hadn't detected any damage beyond his foot needing stitches, though an x-ray would have determined if there was worse damage to the bones.
She turned back to the phone on the wall and once she was satisfied her aunts were good and distracted with customers, she perused the list of Storybrooke business phone numbers pinned next to the phone and started punching in the number for the Storybrooke Pet Shelter.
When it started ringing, Charlie wandered as far from the swinging door as the cord would allow.
"Thanks for calling Storybrooke Pet Shelter, This is Belinda,"
"Hi Belinda," Charlie began, keeping her voice low but audible. She nervously twisting the cord. This was only the second time she'd ever made a call and the first time she was speaking to a stranger over the phone. "I'm calling to see how Thumper is doing." Realizing that the bunny had been brought in without a name as 'Thumper' hadn't popped into her head as her name for him until later, she explained. "He's a grey bunny, brought in two days ago by Aiden. Poor thing had gotten his foot stuck in a trap--the bunny, not Aiden. Aiden's foot is fine."
Charlie cringed at her own awkwardness. She had barely any social skills and was doing a horrible job of being a random, forgettable routine status call.

[via phone] "Looks like the little guy received some stitches on his foot, but he is all fixed up and ready to come home! I am happy to report that Thumper's been quite the trooper,"
Charlie smiled at that. "I'm so glad to hear it. Someone will be by to pick him up today. Thank you, Belinda!" She'd wandered back toward the receiver but fumbled the phone back. "Oh, goodbye. Have a nice day," she added quietly before placing the phone back in its cradle. There. Her first real phone call. She smiled to herself, thinking she'd done a decent job of it.
She reached for the phone again, intending to call Aiden but stopped. He'd finally be getting some sleep after having been awake all night keeping watch over her cabin. It had taken too much convincing to get him to go in the first place and the last thing she wanted to do was disturb his well earned rest.
Charlie removed her apron as she headed for the back door, the folded paper falling from its pocket. She distractedly stuffed it in her satchel as she continued to wonder what to do about Thumper. She should just wait until Aiden returned later and ask him in person, she thought as she pulled her jacket from the coat hook and replaced it with her apron. She rested the satchel strap on her shoulder. But what if the shelter was closed by then? After a brief hesitation, Charlie went to one of the cupboards and retrieved a carrot from her forest friends treats stash and headed out the door.

***Enters from Main Street Outside of Shops and Diner (after a non-posted stop off at home)***
Exhausted and out of breath, Charlie hung up her satchel and closed the door behind her, then leaned on it with eyes closed. She'd been gone far longer than anticipated and after having detoured all the way home to drop off Thumper, had run back to the bakery.
"Where have you been young lady?!"
Charlie's eyes flew open in wide-eyed surprise. She placed a hand over her already racing heart. "Aunt Merry, Ivy... you nearly scared me to death."
"We nearly scared you to death?" Merry added in a chastising tone.
Ivy poked her head out the door to the front, whispering loudly. "Fae, she's back."
Ivy stepped out of the way as Fae now poked her head in from the front to look over Charlie. All three watched her expectantly.
Taking a moment to catch her breath, Charlie began. "There was a bunny-"
Aunts Merry and Ivy gave an exaggerated sigh, Ivy adding an eye roll and Merry throwing her arms up in defeat. The chime of someone entering the bakery had Fae retreating back to the front, now that she was convinced everything was fine.
"It was hurt and defenseless, the poor little thing. I couldn't leave him out there so I had to take him home and tend to his foot. I got back as soon as I could." It was enough of the truth to allow Charlie to tell it evenly without feeling too guilty and giving herself away.
"That soft heart of yours will get you in trouble some day," Merry lectured whilst wagging her finger.
Ivy nodded in agreement. "You've got that bunny's fur all over you. Quickly, go clean up and get back to your baking. We've been busy today," she added proudly.
Charlie beamed at that. She quickly obeyed, retrieving her lint roller from her satchel and stepped back outside. 'This was a nice, unexpected touch to back up my story,' she thought as she made quick work with the lint roller.
Back-up to her story? Since when did she start thinking like that, she wondered. The little exposure she'd had to the town was already changing her.

*** Flora enters from Main Street Outside of Shops and Diner ***
Stepping into Storybrooke Country Bread, Flora was instantly hit with the fresh aroma of baked breads and goods. After the stressful phone call she had just encountered, her spirit was slightly lifted as she peered through the displays of delicious breads and treats. At the queue of her watering mouth, Flora snapped back to the main reason that she had stepped foot into the Bread shop. Hearing some chatter in the back of the shop, she walked up to the counter and awaited for some assistance.

Fae had stuck her head through the back door at her sisters' beckoning. Charlie had returned. She couldn't help but smile at the gentle heart of her niece. Yes, she's frightened them with her lengthy time away but as usual, it was due to her caring of an innocent creature.
The bell of the front door rang and Fae retreated back to the front. She gave a genuine warm and welcoming smile to the lovely young lady at the counter. "Good morning, miss. What may I get for you?" she asked in gentle, lilting voice.

Eva stopped and threw her skateboard down on the ground followed by her bag which jingled with the sounds of spray paint cans hitting spray paint cans. The music coming through her head phones grew louder as her head fell back and she let out a long deep breath as she felt more in tune with the music.
'Memories haunt me everyday the pain does not evade scars will never fade memories have all turned into hate, the damage still remains, forever, some scars will never fade Don't tell me you love me cause words mean nothing, Don't tell me you love me, it's to late, you haunt me everyday'
As the singing ended and the guitars and drums kicked in her head snapped forward and she bent over and riffled through her bag. Eva pulled out a can of spray paint and vigorously shook it creating a loud rattle before aiming at the wall and making her first line of black paint.

"Good morning, miss. What may I get for you?"
Flora kindly greeted the lady behind the counter with a grin before proceeding with her order. "I hear you guys have the best cinnamon rolls in town. I will take your four pack, please," she ordered. Flora's ears seemed to pick up a strange spraying sound faintly, but didn't let it bother her too much. She was on a mission, after all.

"I hear you guys have the best cinnamon rolls in town. I will take your four pack, please,"
"Well you heard correctly," Fae said with a cheeky grin as she headed for the display case. "I'll get those boxed right up for you."
Fae heard the quiet tones of her sisters voices, still clucking like old hens about Charlie. She faintly picked up the last part of Merry's sentence as they emerged from the backroom. "--one of those LoJack devices."
"Don't be a ninny, Merry," Ivy whispered in response. "Those are for vehicles, not people."
It would be a matter of seconds before her sisters took notice of the sweet looking young lady on the other side of the counter. One would think having spent every moment of every day for over two decades coddling a girl would have quite sufficiently satiated even the most fervent of mother hens, but such was not the case with her sisters. With a twinkle in her eye, Fae leaned toward the young lady and said conspiratorially, "Brace yourself, my dear."
As predicted, the frowning bickering old hens took notice of their customer and like a switch, advanced toward the counter as doting mother hens.
"Good morning, dear," Merry said with a beaming smile.
"Look at that lovely red hair," Ivy said.
"Just like our Callie's," Merry said and Ivy nodded her agreement.
Fae shook her head as she chuckled. She gave the young lady a wink of amusement before expertly extracting one of the hens away from the counter and providing a distraction for the other. "Merry, could you please bring me a box. One of the medium sized ones, please. And Ivy, would you please ring her up? Four cinnamon rolls."
"Delicious and warm out of the oven," Ivy said proudly, pushing buttons on the register and taking note of the grocery bags. "A well deserved treat. I see you've been busy running errands this morning."

"Well you heard correctly," "I'll get those boxed right up for you."
"Perfect," Flora smiled with slight relief as she placed the paper bags full of groceries onto the counter to rest her arms. She had looked high and low, and so far no other stores in Storybrooke sold what she had been looking for. Country Bread had been her last hope, and was thankful that she did not give up so easily on her search.
Flora glanced over to the other two ladies who appeared from a back room, coming up behind the counter who seemed to be bantering and conversing amongst themselves. Flora couldn't make out exactly what they had been talking about, nor did she bother to ponder but attempted to keep to her own as she waited for the woman to come back with her pack of rolls. That was, until the two hens noticed her existence in the shop.
"Brace yourself, my dear."
"Good morning, dear," "Look at that lovely red hair," "Just like our Callie's,"
Overwhelmed at their warm yet over bearing approach, Flora did not know what to say but nodded politely at them and was able to make out a kind "Thank you," before the first lady she had been dealing with had come to her rescue.
"Merry, could you please bring me a box. One of the medium sized ones, please. And Ivy, would you please ring her up? Four cinnamon rolls."
Flora's eyes grew with excitement as she watched the lady place the delicious rolls into the box and ring them up for her. She couldn't wait to see the look on her husbands face later.
"Delicious and warm out of the oven," "A well deserved treat. I see you've been busy running errands this morning."
Flora glanced down at her bags of groceries patiently waiting on the counter before looking back up at the lady. "Yes, it's been a long morning for sure," Flora smiled before proceeding with business, "How much do I owe you?"

With three of them handling the storefront, it was no burden if one of them stepped away to assist with carrying larger orders and she had to admit, she enjoyed a casual chat with the town folk that she and her sisters had generally avoided for all these years. She hadn't realized how much she'd missed the simple things that went with being part of civilization until Charlie's pleading to run the bakery had drawn them back to it. She sometimes felt a twinge of guilt over their resolve to keep Charlie safely tucked away, especially in those moments she caught Charlie listening at the door or with a dreamy look on her face as she stared at the wall toward the storefront, probably imagining herself chatting with the customers as she took their orders.
Fae had thought it might be past time they loosen the reigns a bit and ease Charlie into the world. She tried broaching the issue with her sisters but both vehemently argued against it, bringing up events of the past and most especially, what had happened to cause Charlie to be orphaned as an infant. They also argued that it was too late at this point. Charlie was an adult now and was completely naive in her innocence to what the world and the people in it were capable of. She and her sisters may have regaled Charlie all her life with warnings of the evil and deception of people but Fae feared now that they may have done her a disservice by keeping her away from others. Without growing up amongst people, Charlie did not have the experience that taught a person to recognize the signs of good and bad in a person. The instinct or feeling of what was genuine and what was a mask hiding what the person did not what you to see.
It was Fae's rebuttal that they would not be around forever to protect Charlie that finally won her a small victory and so Callie was hired and brought into Charlie's life. It was a good start, a foot in the door, and Callie was a sweet girl who they trusted to keep Charlie secret. She had also seemed like she'd be patient and kind with Charlie's inexperience in socializing with a peer.
Getting to know a little here and there about the people of town was Fae's way of slowly planting small seeds in her favor in the minds of her sisters. She would casually share with them the information she'd gathered, shining a positive light on a fellow town person any chance she got. And now here she was, ringing up a seemingly sweet young lady that her sisters had already taken a shine to simply for the fact she had reminded them of Callie. The girl's overabundance of items to carry presented Fae with another chance to gather seeds.
Fae gave the young lady her total and after payment was settled, headed around the counter. "Here, let me help you with some of that," she said, taking the boxed cinnamon rolls and one of the grocery bags in hand. In case the young lady had it in her mind to protest, Fae added with a kind smile, "It would be a shame to lose the cinnamon rolls or any of your groceries in an attempt to juggle it all and besides," she sighed in exasperated amusement as she gave a nod toward her sisters, quietly bantering once again, "I could use a little fresh air."

"Here, let me help you with some of that,"
"Oh ... well thank you!" Flora graciously spoke. It took a minute for her to register why this lady was being so nice, but then again, she remembered where she lived and that the folks here were generally this way. She allowed the generous lady to relieve her of one of the grocery bags.
"It would be a shame to lose the cinnamon rolls or any of your groceries in an attempt to juggle it all and besides," "I could use a little fresh air."
Flora nodded, "You're too kind," she grinned as the two of them carried her things outside to her parked car alongside of the road. However, once outside the shop, both women became immediately distracted by someone spraying something on the walls of the business.

-Enters from Storybrooke Savings & Loans-
Scarlet made her way around the corner only to see someone vandalizing The Country Bread. "I get more action out here, I should join the police department instead." Sighing she carefully made her way around while the vandal was distracted, she took hold and smiled. "It isn't nice to destroy property." She gave both ladies a smile, "Fae, what would you like me to do with this one?"

"You're too kind,"
"A pleasure, my dear."
The smell of paint accompanied by the sound of spraying caught both their attentions and she found herself also craning her head for a view of the side of the building.
Scarlet came around the side of the building with a young girl in her hold.
"Fae, what would you like me to do with this one?"
Fae tisked whilst shaking her head at the young girl. She silently considered before responding. "Please have a seat with her inside and we'll discuss what to do about this. Thank you, Scarlet, dear." The two began to move and Fae quickly reached out to take the spray can from the girl's hand. "Ah, I'll hold on to this." The last thing she needed was for the girl to artistically express herself on the inside of the bakery.
She turned back to Flora. "Sorry about that. You have yourself a lovely day, young lady. Enjoy those cinnamon rolls and we hope you'll visit us again soon," she finished with a warm, sincere smile.

The music played on and Eva begun spraying the outline of herwork.
Cish.
Cish.
Cish.
Rattle; rattle.
Cish.
Eva held the sleeve of her hoodie over her mouth as she sprayed to spare her from breathing the paint fumes in. The painting was beginning to take shape, it was a portrait view of the top half of a women, her head was burried in her arms and she was crying, the curves and outlines made it look like it she was framed in a heart. It was rough and course looking with lines of wet spray paint running down the wall, Eva prefer it this way there was something the rough uneven state in art spoke to her more, felt raw, felt real. Unfortunately for her Eva was to into her vandalism and had failed to notice the presence closing in on her, the music the pumped through her headphones covering any other sounds made in the alley. Busted! Eva was nabbed byself and she tried to shrug herself loose of her captor, fighting against the pull as the spray can was taken off her and she was lead inside the building she was momentarily defacing. It was a woman who had grabbed her, Eva didn't recognise her though she didn't pay much attention outside of herself so it wasn't a huge surprise she didn't recognise her.
"What is with this town and its freakishly strong women!"

"Please have a seat with her inside and we'll discuss what to do about this. Thank you, Scarlet, dear." Scarlet smiled and nodded her head, taking the girl inside and finding a seat for her to plant her butt in.
"What is with this town and its freakishly strong women!" Scarlet didn't sit down, she just stood there and loomed over her. "I workout after work, never know when someone will try and rob the bank." Scarlet did notice the beautiful work on the side of the building, she imagined what it would have looked like on paper. "You should think about using your skills on paper, the piece was nice." She had a feeling the ladies of Country Bread would go easy on her, they weren't the type to make a huge deal, but to make things right.

Flora observed the situation and watched as the two business women verbally tackled the mischievous girl who happened to be vandalizing the side of the bakery. Keeping her mouth shut, her nose remained out of the situation as she preferred to stay out of business that was not hers and patiently waited for the gong show to be over so that she could continue to her car.
"Sorry about that. You have yourself a lovely day, young lady. Enjoy those cinnamon rolls and we hope you'll visit us again soon,"
Bearing a polite, pursed grin Flora nodded kindly to the woman of the bakery and continued to carry on with her groceries to the car. Placing the groceries in the back seat of the vehicle, she peered down the street in the direction of her husband's business. He didn't seem too pleased when she had to rush off of the phone. Should I drop in to make sure he's okay, Flora thought for a slight moment. She knew for a fact that when he got upset, it usually stewed with him the whole work day until he would get home and that was never pleasant for both of them. She hoped that once he saw the surprise later on, that he would understand. Crossing her fingers in her mind that they would have a happy anniversary tonight, she broke her gaze from down the street and hopped in her car.

"I workout after work, never know when someone will try and rob the bank.""You should think about using your skills on paper, the piece was nice."
Was she for real? Was she making small talk? Who in this dingy little town is going to try and rob the bank? Though Eva did have to admit to herself that being an attractive take no shit independant woman was kinda cool, not that she would ever say it aloud or anything. Eva assumed a look of thought on her face as her bro furrowed and her lips slightly pursed.
"Hmmmm, thought about it and I am gonna have to go with no. You never know someone may try and rob the art gallery it ends up in." she forcing as much snarkiness into it as she could.
