Aurora had been in Storybrooke for 36 hours, having spent the night at Granny's B & B upon the recommendation of a passersby. Now she was at Granny's Diner at Granny's recommendation herself. A nice cup of tea and a few biscuits would cheer her up, for a few hours, at least.
She wrapped her shawl around her tightly to fight off the cold that seemed to settle itself in Storybrooke, and walked into the diner, smiling at the waitress who greeted her with a smile and a "please seat yourself". Unused to the way things worked here, Aurora awkwardly stood in the middle of the diner until the waitress came and directed her to a table.
The seats were hard, the table unmovable, and Aurora felt her heart thumping faster with the unfamiliarity of it all. The waitress asked what she'd like to start with, pointing to the menu by the edge of the table. Aurora shook her head and looked at the waitress before speaking gently. I shall take a cup of tea and a biscuit upon... Granny's? I believe it's Granny. Either way, she recommended such a meal for me, and I'd like it served, please.
The waitress looked at her oddly before nodding her head and writing it down on the pad of paper before walking away. Aurora looked down at her hands as she waited, growing deeper into her depressed as each minute passed.

Neal entered Granny's after a long day and walked over to the counter and sat down. Neal was relieved to have his son back with him, although, something did seem off about him. He didn't want to focus on that too much, he had his son back, no matter what happened.
Neal smiled and picked up a menu, he knew what he wanted. Neal had always ordered the same thing, even though his son and Emma ordered different things to him. Neal ordered a coffee and then looked around the Diner, he was glad to be back in this town. Neal smiled as he saw someone he recognised.
This was one of the people who had helped him get back to Emma and Henry. Neal was wondering why she was alone here and where the people who were with her before had gone too. Neal stood up and walked over to where she was sitting. Neal smiled at her and coughed "Excuse me is this seat taken?"

Aurora had been fiddling with her hands when the waitress had left, seeming to look at her as though she were a bit odd. Perhaps Aurora was, but the cold, polite mask fell on her face again as her gaze landed back on the menu that she neglected to look at.
Granny seemed to be the one who knew why she was here and how to help her, but she didn't want to rely on the old woman's advice for too long. She needed to be independent and make her own way in this world of Storybrooke. She'd get the hang of it, eventually, as Granny had promised her. It would just take some time.
Her gaze lifted when footsteps approached the table she was at, expecting the waitress to come back with her coffee and biscuit, but instead she found Neal. She blinked in surprise at him, her eyes wide and her eyebrows raised as a small smile formed on her face. She shook her head at his question and waited for him to sit down. I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see you here, Neal. I was afraid I was alone in this small town.
The waitress then came back with her order and she thanked the woman quietly before she spoke again to Neal. How did you get here?

Neal smiled as he sat down across from Aurora. "I'm so glad to see you too, but, why did you think you were alone?" Neal asked, curiously "What about your prince and that warrior who came with me to my dad's castle?" Neal didn't want to pry, but, he was worried about his friend.
Neal watched as the waitress came back with her order and his coffee, Neal smiled and then looked back at Aurora. "Well, I used the ship of a pirate known as Hook. He brought all of us back here" Neal said taking a sip of his coffee before smiling at her "How about you? How did you get here?"

Aurora waited for him to sit down, but his question caused her to pause. Her heart clenched at the question of her "prince and the warrior", and she looked away, gathering her thoughts before she looked back at him. Her blue eyes searched his, the polite if not cold facade on her face giving way to a shimmer of pain and anguish. "They did not come with me. My prince, he... he is no longer with us."
The pain it caused her to say it, but it was the truth of the matter and she had to face it. One way or another, reality would smack her in the face hard enough for her to make sense of it all. She asked how he'd come here, and nodded her head at the sound of Hook's name. The cold face of politeness took hold of her once more. The pirate may have saved her life by giving her her heart back, but she didn't trust him any farther than she could throw him. He asked how she came here, and Aurora looked up at him again, her lips pressing gently together before she spoke. "I had come through a portal alone to this world, while I was camping with Mulan, Emma, and Snow White. Mulan, Emma, nor Snow joined me. Hence my reasoning for thinking myself alone. I am only so pleased to see you here. When you say everyone else, who is everyone else?"

Neal looked at her, upset by this information "I'm so sorry about your prince Aurora." Neal wasn't sure how to react to this, she had helped him get to his son and Emma and now she had no-one. Neal sat there looking at her, reaching out to take a hold of her hands. Neal hoped that he could make her feel like she had something "Well, I want you to know that you'll always have me. You helped me get back to my son and I want to return the favour and help you."
Neal took a look around the Diner and then took a sip of his coffee before looking at Aurora again, "Henry, Prince Charming, Regina and... Snow and Emma." Neal said, smiling. Neal had heard that she knew them and had helped them get back to Henry as well, "I'm sure Emma and Snow would love to see you again and I'm sure Charming would love to meet the person who helped get his family home." Neal said, smiling at her.

Aurora smiled at Neal's words, finding comfort in them. His warm hands calmed her, and she looked into his eyes as he spoke again. She squeezed his hands before speaking, her voice soft and kind. Thank you, Neal. I believe just knowing you are here is enough for comfort right now. You, Snow, Emma, and all those I am familiar with. It's a blessing to realize that I am not as alone as I first believed.
She watched Neal look around the diner, taking in his words and smiling more genuinely. The moment she was in held no sadness, grief, or remorse, and Aurora wanted to take full advantage of it. I would love to see them all again. I hear Charming is particularly good hearted. A man who has caught Snow's eye must be. Are they all adjusting well to Storybrooke? Do they understand what's happened?
