"Sure," Rachel said with a bit of a shrug. She watched as he pulled the book out and blinked. "That's a huge book. You just carry that around?"

"Not all the time," Henry said with a quick grin. "Just sometimes." He set it on the table, opening it and flipping through a few pages until he came on one with an illustration of Storybrook.

"Where's that?" Tina asked, peering over at the page curiously.

"Book of stories," Henry said, turning the book around.

"You're doing a scavenger hunt out of this?" Rachel asked, reaching out to touch one of the pages. The paper was oddly heavy, moreso than she thought it would be.

"Yeah," Henry said, glancing at her. "It's kind of a pet project of mine."

"Okay," Rachel said. "So what are you looking for?" She looked at the book.

"Well, so far I've found a lot of things." Henry flipped through a couple more pages, showing them a few landmarks in Storybrook. Then he flipped the page again to show a park near the apartment building Rachel and Tina were in.

"That's our park," Tina said, blinking down at the page. She'd know that park anywhere, it had the best climbing trees.

"That is our park," Rachel said, surprised. She leaned in to get a closer look. "Yeah, that's the fountain on the far side. How...?"

"That's what I'm trying to find," Henry told her. "This book isn't just stories. It has real people, real places."

"So you're trying to find this park?" Rachel asked, trying to clarify. "This one, in the picture?"

"I started out looking for it, yeah," Henry said. "I'm guessing it's not far from here?"

"Not far at all," Rachel said, shaking her head. "Four blocks, maybe five. Within walking distance, easily."

Henry nodded, turning the page. There was clearly someone in a tree in the park now, but it wasn't clear who.

Tina frowned at the picture. That was her favorite napping tree, she knew the shape of those branches. "This is weird," she muttered.

Rachel frowned as well. She recognized the picture as well; she'd found Tina in that tree often enough to know what it looked like when her friend slept in the tree.

"Where did these pictures come from?" she asked. "Better yet, where did the book come from?"

"I'm not sure." Henry shrugged.

"What, no publishing info in the front?" Tina asked, stepping closer.

"All hand done." Henry showed them the binding. "Pictures, too."

"That's... both impressive and sort of creepy," Rachel said. "That someone would take that kind of time, and that they ended up with pictures of our park."

"It's not just here," Henry told her, flipping to a picture of Storybrooke, with Snow and Charming there. "This is all real."

Rachel blinked when she saw the two people on the page. They looked familiar, but she couldn't place where she'd seen them before.

"Who put this all together?" she asked.

Henry smiled. "I have an idea, but I don't know for sure," he said. "That's part if what I'm trying to find out, too."

"This is some weird kind of scavenger hunt," Rachel said. She glanced at Tina. The book was kind of vaguely creepy.

"It's fun, though," Henry said, looking at them both.

Tina was still frowning at the book, because that was Not Normal, and something about it put her on edge. Like there was something she should know about it, and she just couldn't remember.

"Do you mind if I look through the book?" Rachel asked after a moment, reaching for it. She wanted to see what else was in it; maybe more of it would be familiar.

Henry pushed the book over towards her, watching her. Well, she was interested, that was a good start.

Rachel took the book gently and began flipping through it.

"Wait a second, these are fairy tales," she said as she found familiar stories. "I thought you said these were true stories?"

"They are," Henry agreed gently, watching her. "I've met all of these people. I live with them." He paused. "Well, I live in the same town, I mean."

"That makes absolutely no sense," Rachel said as she skimmed through some of the stories. They seemed like a mix of Grimm and Andersen, but they weren't quite the same ones she knew.
