Emma headed back over to the rumble, helping Hook and Dream out. Emma helped Dream out first before they both helped the one-handed pirate. "You are brilliant. Amazing!" Hook chuckled at Emma while Dream held his hand, pulling him out. "May I see it? The compass?" Hook asked when Emma pulled out the gold compass, showing it to Dream and Hook.

"Wow... That's what's gonna get us home?" Dream asked as Emma nodded at her.

"It's more beautiful than legend." Hook chuckled, reaching to grab it from Emma, but she pulled it away from him, putting it back in her jacket pocket. "Come, let's go." Hook said, holding his hand out to Dream, who took his hand, going to help him stand up. Emma moved when she put a bronze shackle around Hook's wrist, making Dream pull her hand away, looking at Emma.

"Emma?" Dream asked when Emma stepped away while dragging Dream with her.

"What are you doing?" Hook asked, standing up, looking at Emma, who pushed Dream behind her, despite Dream trying to move away from her. "Hook, I... I can't..." Emma started to stutter when she looked down at the ground. "Emma, look at me. Have I told you a lie? I brought you here; I risked my own safety to help you. The compass is in your hand. Why do this to me now?" Hook asked, looking at Emma, while Emma looked back up at him.

"I can't take a chance that I'm wrong about you. I'm sorry." Emma sighed, going to walk away, when Dream stood there, unsure what to do. "You're sorry? You're sorry! I got you here! I got you the compass!" Hook yelled as the chain stopped him from going any further. "I got the compass." Emma corrected, turning to look at him. "Dream, let's go," Emma said, looking at the girl, who stood still between the two of them.

"And you're just gonna leave me here to die? Have that beast eat me to crush my bones?" Hook asked, looking angry at Emma.

"He's not a beast. And you're not gonna die. We just need a head start, that's all. Dream?" Emma asked when Dream looked at her. Dream looked back at Hook when she saw her bracelet by his boots. The bracelet that Gold gave her. She looked up at Hook, who wanted his revenge on Gold. Then, she remembered that Gold had tried to kill her mother. Dream looked over to Emma.

"I dropped my bracelet. I need to find it; I'll meet you at the bottom." Dream said as Emma started to walk off when Dream pretended to look for her bracelet. "Swan. Swan! Swan!" Hook yelled after her when Dream looked over, seeing that Emma was out of the treasure room when she walked back over to Hook.

"What are you doing, love?" Hook asked when Dream sighed, taking a bobby pin out of her hair when she moved to open the lock. "Helping you get out. What does it look like?" Dream asked, not looking at him, when Hook chuckled, smiling at the girl.

"Why are you doing this?" He asked when Dream unlocked the shackle.

"Because we both want the same thing..." Dream sighed, finally looking up at him. "Which is?" He asked, with a cheeky smirk on his lips. "To go to Storybrooke..." Dream said; when Hook moved to walk away, he stopped, seeing her bend down to pick her bracelet up and put it back in her pocket.

"Let's go." Dream said, catching up with Hook.

They stopped when they saw the giant when Hook moved Dream behind him. "Who are you?" The giant asked when it was really loud. "My name is Dream... And this is my... friend, Captain Killian Jones. We are just going to head down with Emma." Dream said when the giant was skeptical. 

"I only agreed to you and Emma leaving. I owe her another favor." He said, looking at Hook, who he agreed to watch, giving Emma a head start.

"Please... We just want to go home." Dream said when the giant was still skeptical. "You asked our names... What is yours?" Dream asked when the giant raised his brow.

"Tiny. My family called me "Tiny"." He said when Hook was confused as to where Dream was going. "Is that your real name?" Dream asked when the giant sighed. 

"Anton." He answered when Dream smiled at him. 

"The name that means "worthy of praise"... You have a nice name." Dream smiled when the giant saw her genuine kindness. "Thank you... You can leave that way." Anton said, pointing to the hole in the wall.

"Thank you, Anton." Dream smiled when she grabbed Hook's hand when they went to leave.

Hook stopped, looking back, making Dream stop to look at him. "What is wrong?" Dream asked when Hook looked at her. "I think I dropped my satchel. I will grab it and then return soon... Stay here." He said, walking back while Dream waited there, pulling out her bracelet.

"I wonder if this thing is right... Could Captain Hook truly be my destiny?" Dream sighed, mumbling to herself when she looked at the bracelet. "Come on, Dream... Don't be ridiculous." She scoffed to herself, putting her bracelet back in her pocket.
