As I looked at the sky, watching the white owl fly away, I didn't notice a certain pirate sneak up on me.

"What are you looking at?" I heard him ask from behind me.

I jumped, then turned around to see Captain Hook right in front of me.

"How long have you been there?" I asked.
"Not long. By the way is your friend the owl coming back?" He looked at me thoughtfully, then added," you know your other friend is fast asleep. Why aren't you?"

"If you could give me time to answer each question, I would answer them. And for your information he is NOT an owl." I said.

"Well why don't you tell me what he is so I can understand" he said.

"His name is Jareth, and he's the Goblin King" I said watching his face for a reaction. There was a spark of recognition in his eyes, but it was gone just as quickly.

"Have you heard of him?" I asked.

"Yeah, from a friend"

"By and chance is that friend a boy named Henry, who has a storybook that has Once Upon A Time on the cover?"

He looked at me. I could see the surprise on his face.

"How did you know all that?"

"There's something you should see"

I brought Hook inside and we started watching Once Upon A Time. At that moment, Izzy woke up and came downstairs to get a drink. When she turned around, she saw Hook and raised an eyebrow at me. I mouthed out 'I'll tell you tomorrow' to her. That next day was even stranger.
