1st Story - Ten Forward
One minute, Henry had been sitting on a bus to Boston, the next, he was standing in a room with lots of other people having experienced a large flash of light. Looking around, he realised he had no idea where this place was. It wasn't in the book, it hadn't been described by his father and he certainly wasn't back in Storybrooke.
Glad that he still had his bag, he clutched it tightly and moved to stand in a corner out of the way. Closing his eyes for a moment, to stop himself from panicking, he took some deep breaths before opening them again and taking a proper look at his surroundings.
First thing he noticed was the bar. It spanned the length between the two sets of doors and behind it was a smiling woman. On the other side of the room were...well they looked like windows but all he could see out of them were white dots on a black background. And between them, only chairs and tables, people and drinks. And no one he immediately recognised either.
Moving towards the strange windows, he touched one, unsure if he wanted to believe what he thought he saw. They looked like...stars.

"Oh, no. Well, it's just different. I'm used to Granny's."

She nods, as if they have unraveled a great mystery together.
"It's missing that special something only Granny's know about. You know, I've traveled from one end of the universe to the other, and I still haven't figured out their secret."
She smiles.
"That won't stop me from trying, though. What else do you like?"
