1Chapter 8
" You know what forget it! You stole my body! I'm not letting this go! You used a dangerous magical weapon and probably doomed us to god knows what fate like you always do, Old man!" yelled Anna Sophia
" First off careful how you address me. You are forgetting who I am and what I could do to you without blinking. Second, you don't think I know the magic this dagger wields more than anyone? Don't worry, Dearie her death won't cause any issues just because I stabbed her with the dagger." said Gold
"You better hope so." said Anna Sophia. Anna Sophia walks outside suddenly sees the orange light shooting into the sky. "Son of a bitch!" she yelled and then ran back to the shop. " You opened Zelena's portal!"
"I have been nowhere near that portal." said Gold
"But you have been near Zelena! When you killed her that magic in that pendant of hers had nowhere to go so it went to the closest magic it could find thus opening that portal. So in essence YOU opened the portal!" yelled Anna Sophia
"It's your fingerprints on that dagger, Dearie not mine. So as far as everyone is concerned it's your word against mine It's not likely they'll believe you over me we both have a history of blood on our hands and you are the most reckless one." said Gold
" O no, I'm not going down for this! Clearly, you started something and you are going to take responsibility and deal with it! If you had learned to deal with mistakes years ago none of us would be here and your son would alive!" said Anna Sophia
"Don't you dare drag Baelfire into this! I killed Zelena for him and I know that you would have killed her for Emma because that is what parents do they hurt people who harm their children! And the best thing we can do now is stay as far away from that portal as humanly possible. Dealing with time travel is extremely dangerous." said Gold
"Well, shouldn't you at least close the thing so no one falls in it." said Anna Sophia "I mean take responsibility man!"
"This from the woman who never takes responsibility for anything." said Gold
"I take plenty of responsibility now it's your turn." said Anna Sophia
" You two are spending an awful lot of time in here. If I didn't know any better I'd think you two were having an affair. Rumple, is there something I should know?" said Belle
"No, Belle. Everything is just fine. I promise." said Gold
"We were just talking. Actually, I have to go. I'm supposed to meet the others at Granny's." said Anna Sophia "See you later, Gold. Goodbye, Belle."
"Congratulations on the baby." Belle said
"Yes, congratulations, Anna Sophia." said Gold
Gold turns to the window.
" Zelena's portal is open… I need to go take care of it before someone gets hurt. Belle, stay here."
"What if something happens to you? I'm going with you." said Belle grabbing a cloak
"It's best if you stay here I don't want anything to happen to you." said Rumple
"You left your life in my hands and I'm going to do whatever I have to protect it. I am not losing you again." said Belle
Gold nods.
Anna Sophia leaves the shop and walks back through town into the park. Not too long after Gold is behind her heading in the direction of the barn with Belle following him. As they walk through the park they find Emma and Hook who seemed to be approaching from the other side of the park coming from Granny's Anna Sophia presumed.
"Does everyone in this town need to be everywhere I am?" asked Emma" Because I don't want to talk to you. Any of you."
"We aren't here for you." said Anna Sophia
" You aren't here because Mary Margret and David told you what happened at Granny's? Why are you here?" asked Emma
" We thought we saw something from Gold's shop." said Anna Sophia not wanting to worry Emma. "What are you doing out here anyway? What happened at Granny's"
"I was just thinking." said Emma "And I don't want to talk about it."
" She told everyone that she is taking Henry out of Storybrooke and back to New York I'm here to talk to her out of it." said Hook
" You're still on this! That year we were in New York was amazing but it wasn't real! And don't tell me it's for Henry's safety 'cause that is bull shit and you know it! You have defeated every imaginable thing that has come your way. There is no danger any more. This isn't about us or Henry this is about you… now why… why do you feel the need to run away from this town and from this family?" asked Anna Sophia "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid of anything." said Emma
" That's not true, Miss Swan. That's the same look your mother gets every time she's afraid. Now, what is it?" asked Gold
"Why do you want to be involved in my life all of a sudden? I'm not Anna Sophia I don't interfere in yours unless it's necessary so don't interfere in mine." said Emma
" It probably isn't my place but…Emma, if you don't tell us what the problem is we can't help you." said Belle
"There is no problem." said Emma "I just think it's best if Henry and I went back to New York."
"Why would you want to leave behind this family after we worked so hard to get together? We finally got our happily ever after and you just don't want to be a part of it?" said Anna Sophia
"Because I am sick of the monsters, the wizards, and the magic! Every time I turn around it's someone else trying to kill us or something else trying to destroy us I am sick and tired of it! I want a normal life and this is not a family this is a mess… a mess I don't feel connected to! All of these stories they mean nothing to me.I just see fairy tales when I look in this book. I don't see a family and I don't see a home. I have never felt that any of you were my family and this has never been my home. Never." said Emma "I learned a long time ago that home is a place that when you leave you just miss it and I've never missed this place."
"O my god… our lack in raising you has created a heartless bitch who clearly cares about no one but herself! I carried you for 9 months and I was planning a wonderful life for you. Things didn't go as planned because life got in the way. Now, you get your head out of your ass and listen to me young lady, Life is not safe and it's not easy! You can't run away from it. You are a member of this family. Henry is your son, Prince Charming is your father, Snow White… both of us are your mother and the family continues and continues and that is the way it is and I am appalled and disgusted that you would think any other way!"
"I'm sorry but David is not my father he is just a man who put me in a magical wardrobe and you and Mary Margret are just two women who gave birth to me and then got split in a freak accident caused by that man who gave up his son for a weapon! None of you know how to be parents and none of you worried about your children when you did what your did. I don't feel close to any of you and I never have. I just want a normal, happy life like anyone else and I'm not stopping until I get it!" yelled Emma "Because this book is just a book . And Sometimes, I wish that my parents were just normal people from THIS world."
" These stories are our history and I wish you could see just how hard it was for David and I to be together so this family could be possible!" yelled Anna Sophia suddenly they see the light in the distance. "Now if you'll excuse us Gold and I have something to take care of. You , Hook, and Belle can join us if you want but I warn you it's magic that wants to destroy us." said Anna Sophia
Rumple leads the way and the others follow all run towards the light coming from the nearest barn.
" Zelena must have killed herself and her magic must have unleashed the portal." said Gold
" Yea I'm sure it was something like that." said Anna Sophia" The real question is can you close it?"
"I can try. " said Gold he steps in front of the door and opens them but before he can perform magic the suction from the portal sucks them down landing them in the Enchanted Forest.
The Enchanted Forest, several years ago.
"Well, it appears we're back in the Enchanted Forest." said Hook
"Well, thank you, Mr. Obvious none of us would have realized that after coming through a time portal." said Anna Sophia getting up and dusting herself off as the others did the same.
"The question is when?" asked Belle
Anna Sophia sees a 'Snow White' wanted poster. "I believe I know." said Anna Sophia ripping it off the tree.
"You know this is exactly the type of thing that would not happen in New York." said Emma
"No need to get anxious. We have been through worse we just need a plan." said Gold
"Any of you know how to get out of here?" asked Hook
"You think we know how to get back to the future? Do any of us look like Marty McFly to you?" asked Emma
The other laughed.
"Marty McWho?" asked Hook " Is that supposed to be humorous?"
"Yes. It was a comedy about a kid who traveled through time. Rumple and I watched it the other night." said Belle
"The kid's name was Marty McFly." said Anna Sophia "Gold, didn't know you were a Back to The Future fan."
"There is a lot you don't know." said Gold
"OK, someone explain this please." said Hook
" He was this kid who traveled through time with lightning and a Dorlaen ." said Emma
" Of course there isn't a storm right now and we don't have a car so his way is out." said Anna Sophia
" Lightning and a vehicle to travel through time? Is he some type of wizard?" asked Hook
"No, he's not a wizard… he's… Gold… can't you figure out a way to get us out of here?" started Anna Sophia
" How many times do I have to tell you things like that are out of my capability." said Rumple "Unless of course you happen to have a brain, a heart, some courage, and a baby whose pure of heart then I'd be able to repeat Zelena's plan and get home but your baby is back in Storybrooke so it is fruitless at the moment." said Gold
"You better think of something none of this would be happening if you thought before you killed Zelena and unleashed her magic!" yelled Anna Sophia
"Before he did what?" asked Belle surprised " No, Rumple promised me he wouldn't and even if he wanted to I have the dagger he wouldn't be able to do it without my permission." said Belle
"Yea, two problems though… He switched bodies with me and used mine to kill her and he gave you a fake dagger. He switched them on you I presume when he proposed." said Anna Sophia
" Rumple, you tricked me and lied to me?" said Belle in shock
"Belle, I'm sorry." said Gold
"You told me that you were trusting me with the dagger because you loved me and trusted me with your life. We're supposed to be getting married. How could you do this to me? You let Zelena turn you back into a monster." said Belle who takes the fake dagger throws it on the ground and walks away.
"Belle! Belle, please come back! I'm sorry. I'm Sorry!" yelled Gold starting to go after her. The others stop him. Emma looks at Gold
"Just give her some time she'll come back." said Emma."Right now we need a plan to get home. Do you have anything at your castle that might help?"
"I do have various objects. I don't know any that could help us…maybe… yes.. the fairy wand… yes that should be able to do it." said Gold
"Great. Then let's go to your place." said Emma
"Before we do. You might want to change into something more of this realm." said Gold.
They all go over to a clothes line. They each change into Enchanted Forest garb.
"You ladies look absolutely lovely." said Hook "And you look nice too, Rumplestilskin."
"I forgot what a bitch these outfits can be." said Anna Sophia getting used to her dress
"This dress is making some impression on my spleen." said Emma
"None the less they are marvelous on both of you. Shall we go find the other Rumplestilskin?" said Hook
Meanwhile, Belle walks through the woods and ends up on a dirt path. Suddenly she hears something or someone in the woods next to her. "Rumplestilskin, leave me alone!" she said going towards the sound. Someone grabs her from behind.
"Who are you? What are you doing on this road?" asked Snow White
"My name is Belle. I work for the Dark One… or I did I just escaped from his castle. I'm trying to get home." said Belle trying to make up an excuse.
"You really shouldn't be out here by yourself. There are many dangers out here the least of which is the Evil Queen. She's on the warpath looking for the bandit Snow White. Only her men and of course the Evil Queen herself ever come on this road. If I were you I'd go back to your Master's place. The Dark One's will be safer than out in the open." said Snow White
"I really have no intention of going back there." said Belle "There is evil that's taken root in him and it's just gotten hold too strongly. If only he could let the goodness out."
"I wish I could help you but I've never been in love. That's just not in the cards for me." said Snow White. "Now, excuse me I have work to do. "
Belle starts to walk back on the path.
Snow White chops down the tree and it falls in the middle of the road. Belle sees the others walk down the road. They walk up to her. They are about to say something when they hear horses and run for cover Belle trips over the tree and gets her dress caught on a stray branch. She is about to fix it when the horses suddenly buck and scare Belle making her fall over and Charming gets out of the carriage and sees the log and Belle. "Are you all right, Miss?" he asked her. "Wow, I'm sorry if this is too forward but you have the most enchanting eyes."
"Thank you. you are quite charming…. really live up to your name." said Belle
"What name? The only name I go by is James. Prince James." said Charming bowing
"I'm Belle." said Belle doing a curtesy in her blue and red plaid dress.
"Belle, what a beautiful name." said Charming
"What's wrong! " asked Kathryn from in the carriage.
"Worry not. It's just a fallen tree in the way. We will be on the road in no time." said Charming who helps up Belle."What are you doing out here by yourself, Belle?"
" I'm running away from my master."said Belle
"Your master?" asked Charming "You're a servant around here?"
"Yes. I work for The Dark One." said Belle
" Rumplstilskin? How did you end up with a monster like that?" asked Charming
" He agreed to protect my friends and family from the ogres attacking our kingdom if I promised to go with him and never return home. I just escaped from his castle within an inch of my life." said Belle. Belle knew her anger towards Gold shouldn't be forcing her to tell these lies but she was so upset that he would lie to her again after he promised not to go after Zelena and tricked her into finally marrying him to boot. She needed time to think and being with Charming seemed like the best way to get away from everything.
"Going on foot is not the smartest idea you should come with us." said Charming
Gold forms a fireball in his hand and is about to throw it. Anna Sophia holds him back "Have you gone insane! What are you doing! You are going to kill Charming and burn down this entire forest enviably killing all of us! Put the fireball out now!"
Belle goes over and gets in the carriage. Gold looks around for another outlet for his anger when he sees Snow White up in the tree. Gold uses his magic to manipulate Emma into moving her hand thus snapping a lose piece from the log in front of the group thus distracting Snow White and making her fall out of the tree. Charming and the men notice the tree has been cut and start searching for the bandit. Charming then goes back to the carriage to make sure the girls are ok and they start to drive on. Snow White runs into the forest defeated
"what the hell…" Anna Sophia says confused she gets up and dives trying to get on top of the carriage before it gets to far away. "No… no… no! This is not happening!" She starts to run after the carriage but it gets too far away. " You can't run from me! I will find you! I will always find you!" Anna Sophia runs back to Gold. "
You… you did this this! You just ruined my life you fucking bastard!" she leaps at him starting to strangle him. Gold knocks her back towards the nearest tree with magic. She then takes an arrow out of her bag and points it right at him "You have gotten too far this time, Rumplestilskin! I can't prove that you manipulated this but now it's time to pay the piper!" Anna Sophia was about to let her arrows go when Rumple disappears behind her and the arrow goes into the tree. Anna Sophia turns around and points her arrow at Gold again. Gold forms a fireball in his hand. "You truly want to go up against me, Dearie? You know you'll never win."
" Hold it… Hold it… before we all start killing each other. what's the problem?" asked Hook
"The problem is that the bandit was me this was supposed to be when Charming and I met and Gold just ruined it." said Anna Sophia
"I was the one that broke the twig." said Emma
"Why did you suddenly get the idea to put your hand down on a loose twig. It might seem like it was your idea but trust me it was Gold's… he couldn't burn down the forest so he does the next best thing. Takes away Prince Charming's true love… ME! Thus screwing all of us over! Again! See crap like this is why Belle left you!" yelled Anna Sophia "You said so yourself again that messing with the timeline can be extremely dangerous… did you leave your brain in Story brooke, Old Man or maybe the years are finally catching up to you." said Anna Sophia
" The timeline has already changed when Belle met Prince Charming. He already fell in love with Belle. I could see it in his eyes and no one… no one steal anything from me. So, I thought a trade would be best. His true love for mine." said Gold
"In the process you stopped yourself from ever finding your son. EVER!" hissed Anna Sophia
"What do you mean?… What do you mean?!" yelled Gold as Anna Sophia suddenly disappears from his grasp.
"No you don't, Dearie. You aren't getting away from me." said Gold he waves his hand and a black haired girl appeared in his hands again.
"Let go of me! Let go" yelled the girl
"Not until we finish our conversation, Dearie. Now, why won't I find my son?" asked Gold
"Son? I don't know you and I certainly don't know anything about your son. " said the girl
" Gold, I don't think that's her." said Emma
" Who else could it possibly be?" asked Gold
"Listen, what's your price for letting me go and forgetting you ever saw me? I'll pay any amount you want." said the girl
" I think you're right,Miss Swan. Anna Sophia would never bargain like that she'd kick me in the chest and then run until she got to the nearest cliff and then she'd jump to safety ." said Gold
"Which means this is the bandit Snow luck is finally on our side." said Hook "We can fix what Rumplestilskin screwed up with the bandit's help and get things to how they should be."
"How do you know who I am?" asked Snow White
" That's not important." said Gold putting Snow White down.
"What makes you think I'll help you?" asked Snow White
" Because, We want to help you get what you want, Dearie. A way out of dodge." said Gold
"You can get me out of this realm? How?" asked Snow White
" Aboard my ship. The Jolly Roger. It is the fastest sailing vessel in all the realms." said Hook
"How much?" asked Snow White
"We don't want money." said Hook
"Then what do you want? I know everything comes with a price." said Snow White
"We need you to perform a little task for us. There is a very valuable silver ring with an green stone in it. It is currently at King Midas's castle. We need you to steal it for us. Can you handle that?" asked Hook
" Midas's place? That could be very tricky to get into." said Snow White
"You don't think you're up to the task?" asked Hook
" Never said I wasn't up to the task." said Snow White "I'll do it although, I'd like to know who I'm working for."
"They call me, Captain Hook and this is my lovely first mate Miss Swan and of course you've met the Dark One he's an old… acquaintance who has something else quite valuable at stake but first the ring." said Hook
"What does the Dark One have at stake if you don't mind my asking?" asked Snow White
"Actually, I do mind you asking!" said Gold
"Now, here's the plan… we'll keep the prince occupied at the ball tonight while you go up and steal the ring." said Emma
"Deal." said Snow White
Snow White goes off into the woods.
"Now, let's go to my castle and secure a way home." said Gold who transports them on the hill by the castle and Gold changes into Timothy Osmundson.
"Why aren't we in the castle?" asked Emma "And why you look like Timothy Osmundson?"
"It's better if the pirate stayed back." said Gold "And if we're going to my castle the past version of me might be there. It's best if he doesn't see me."
" And He's quite right about my staying back with my history with Rumplestilskine he'd want to shoot me on sight." said Hook
"I'd take that bet "said Rumple from behind them." they turned around."I have been waiting a long time for this day."
Rumple starts to strangle Hook.
"No, don't kill him!" yelled Emma
"I don't know who you and your friend are, Dearie but go and let me enjoy this."said Rumple
" He is not going to hurt you. Believe me." said Emma
"No use reasoning with him he is too filled with anger over Milah." said Gold
"What do you know about what this man did to my wife?" hissed Rumple.
"Word travels." said Gold
"Listen. if you kill him you will never see your son again!" yelled Emma
Rumple let's Hook go.
"How do you know about my son. Are you a witch?" asked Rumple
"No. I'm the one who breaks your curse. I'm the product of true love." said Emma
"But I haven't done it yet." said Rumple
"You will and you succeed." said Emma
" If that's true that would mean…" said Rumple
"We're from the future." said Gold
"But time travel hash't been invented yet." said Rumple
"Well, someone cracks the code." said Emma
"We need something from your castle to reopen the portal that brought us here." said Gold
"There is only thing you could be referring to but it's quite dangerous, Dearie. I'd help you but first… you… do I find my son?" asked Rumple.
They all look at each other.
"Well?" asked Rumple
"Yes." said Emma
He takes them to the castle.
"Thank you for believing us." said Emma "I know time travel is hard to swallow."
"Not as hard as why I haven't kill him yet!" said Rumple indicating Hook
"It's not from lack of effort." said Hook
" Believe me you tried every way you could think of and he tried to kill you every way he could think of. In the end you just buried the hatchet." said Gold
" What business is it of yours?" asked Rumple to Gold
"You did it to help me with a serious situation." said Gold "That involved you as much as it did me."
"Really and what possible situation could make me not bury a hatchet in this man's skull?!" said Rumple
"Your father kidnapped Baelfire and my grandson." said Gold
Suddenly Belle enters with a bucket and scrub brush. She sees the others. "Rumplestilskin, you're back and you have guests. Is there anything you needed me to do."
"Belle." Gold and Emma said together
"Do I know either of you?" asked Belle
"No… The Dark One told us about you." said Emma
"Did he?" she asked coyly.
"No I didn't." said Rumple
"Yes you did." said Gold
"No, I didn't!" said Rumple "Now, Belle why don't you go read or whatever it is you do for fun, Dearie, come back and clean later. I'm very busy right now."
"You could ask me nicely." said Belle
"I could also turn you into a toad. " Rumple pointed out.
Gold goes in front of her " You even think of changing this amazing woman into a toad I'll turn you into a fly and feed you to her, you slippery crocodile!"
"Are you threatening me in my own home? Clearly, you don't know who you're dealing with, Dearie." said Rumple
"I know exactly who I'm dealing with. I'm dealing with a monster who's afraid of his own heart but that gives you no right to treat the woman you love in such a horrible manner! You might not understand your feelings for her you might want to even acknowledge them because you don't know if she'll ever feel the same but she does though she won't if you remain this monster." said Gold
"What? First all of you tell me that I don't kill the pirate for personal reasons and now I fall for the help. You must think I'd believe anything you tell me just because you claim to be from the future." said Rumple
"You put your anger with the pirate aside so the two of you could fight a common enemy… your father… Peter you and Belle had a rocky relationship but you made it through. In fact, you're getting married." said Gold
" How do you know my father? If he is up to his tricks again then tell Pan sorry but I'm not biting! And what was that about my getting married? That is impossible, Dearie. I don't love not anymore." said Rumple
" Pan didn't send us. I'd slit my own throat before I worked for him again but It's true you do love Belle. You wanted to kill me when I try to hurt her." said Hook
"Now, that I can believe." said Rumple
"Can we focus please?" asked Emma "You promised you'd help us get home."
"Yes, I can open your portal back home. I just need to get something from my vault first." said Rumple
"No, we can't go yet. We need to go to the ball at King Midas's." said Emma
"You come all the way from the future and you want to go to a ball?" asked Rumple
"We don't want to we have to. We changed things and this is the only way to change things back." said Gold
"We? You're the one who stopped it from happening." said Emma
"Do you have invitation or disguises?" asked Rumple
"I was just about to handle that." said Gold
"Allow me." said Rumple who changes the three of them into royalty with a glamour spell. "And so you don't stick out this is how you'll appear to one and all. Good luck. " said Rumple who suddenly transports them to the ball.
They enter and go to Midas. "I am King Midas father of the bride who have I to welcome to my home?" asked Midas
"I'm…" started Hook very nervous
"Prince Charles and I'm Princess… Leia." said Emma
"Announce Prince charles and Princess Leia." said Midas.
Gold shakes his head and then comes forward.
" And who else do I have the honor of welcoming?" asked Midas.
"I'm Prince Carlton." said Gold
"Announce Prince Carlton. " said Midas.
Meanwhile Snow White swings a grappling hook over the side of the wall and starts to climb. She finally gets to the top and then kicks open the tower door . She sees some guards and spin kicks them knocking them out. Snow White the runs to a door and kicks it open to reveal a bedroom. Snow White starts searching through trunks and drawers for the ring that was described to her.
Meanwhile, back in the ball room Gold looks and spots Belle across the room in a blue dress by herself. Charming and Abigail are standing now too far away " Would you care to dance, My dear." asked Charming
"I didn't wear my dancing shoes." said Abigail
"I could go to your chambers and fetch them for you." said Charming
"My hero." said Abigail sarcastically
"What's the problem, My Dear. You have been very cold ever since we've gotten here." said Charming
"This is not the time to discuss it." said Abigail
"As your husband I have a right to know if I have done something to upset you." said Charming
"Drop it. We will discuss it later." said Abigail
"I think we should discuss it now." said Charming
"You want to discuss it now? All right? Ever since we brought home that Belle person she is all you can look at and all you can talk about. So, you want to dance with someone dance with her." said Abigail
"My dear, I'm sorry." said Charming as Abigail is walking away from him.
Charming goes over to Belle "Belle, would you care to dance?" asked Charming
"Yes." said Belle
The two of them start dancing. Gold tries to make his way to the crowd towards them by taking different partners to get closer and closer as they all spin. As he manages to get close enough Charming whispers in Belle's ear and they leave together. Gold let's go of the person he was dancing with who happened to be Emma. He hurried after them. Charming takes her into a room to talk to her.
"I don't think I can go through with this." said Charming
"Everything will be fine, James. I promise." said Belle " But if you ask me Abigail is not the right girl for you. I think the right girl would be sweet but determined. A princess who is also warrior. And she might have a name like Mary Anna Sophia Margret… or something like that."
"Mary Anna Sophia Margret?" asked Charming
"Or maybe just as simple as Snow White." said Belle
"Don't see myself with Snow White…but, I hope whoever she is she's like you " said Charming going in to kiss Belle. Gold rams through the door.
"Step away from her now!" yelled Gold pointing a sword at him.
"Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?" asked Charming turning to him.
"I happen to be Belle's suitor." said Gold
"You never told me you were betrothed." said Charming
"I am. but not to this man. I've never seen him before in my life." said Belle
" Stay away from her." said Gold
"What will you do if I don't." said Charming
" You don't want to know but for starters I'll tell George and Midas you are cheating on Midas's daughter, Dearie!" threatened Gold
"Rumple? Rumplestilskin, what are you doing here? Don't answer that! Leave! Now! You can't control my life. You know that. Nothing is happening between David and I. " said Belle
"I'm sorry, Belle. I'm doing this for your own good. By the way, Prince James… I believe you are being robbed." said Gold
Gold and Belle disappear in smoke and end up in the woods outside the castle.
"Of all the selfish underhanded tricks!" yelled Belle
"Belle, I'm doing this for you." said Gold
"Rumple, you took me from David because you're jealous! It was for you not me. You want to do something for me then prove to me you care. Just leave me alone." said Belle
"You're right. I'm sorry." said Gold.
He looks up at the castle. "Where is that bandit. She should be down here by now." said Gold. "Stay here! I'll be right back. Don't move, Belle. Please." said Gold who vanishes.
James goes into the other room followed by Emma and Hook who had come up the stairs when they noticed that James and Belle were gone. Snow White finally finds the ring and is holding it up to get a better look at it. before pocketing it.
"Who are you?" asked Charming.
Snow White goes to the window.
"Not so fast, thief!" yelled Charming knocking her to the ground.
"You're a girl." said Charming in surprise.
" I'm a woman." said Snow White knocking him in the face with a jewelry box. "They call me Anna Sophia." said Snow White thinking quickly
"Stay right where you are." said Charming who goes towards Snow White. Suddenly, there is another Snow White.
"Sorry I'm in a rush, Your Highness." said Snow White.
"You go, Anna. I got this." said Gold in a Snow White disguise.
Snow leaps from the window and goes down the side of the castle and gets onto her horse.
Charming yells after her, " You can't hide from me! I will find you! I will always find you!"
"You'll have to deal with me first." said Gold who spin kicks Charming in the face.
Charming takes out his sword and points it at her. "I usually don't fight women." said Charming
"There is always a first time for everything I suppose." said Gold who kicks Charming in the face again.
" I will find your friend and I will get that ring back. You can do whatever you want to me." said Charming
"I love a challenge." said Rumple throwing him a sword then takes out one himself.
"A woman who knows how to sword fight? That's different." said Charming
"I'm gifted." said Gold
They start to sword fight with each other. Gold gets into it so much it seems as if he intends to kill in fact at the end of the fight he pins Charming to the wall and is about to go for the kill when he's held back but Emma and Hook.
"What's going on in here?" asked Hook
Charming and Gold fight and look at him. "Snow White, you don't want to kill him. ." said Emma
"I'm sorry got carried away and I'm not Snow White Dearie she is gone but she's probably heading to the harbor if you want to catch her.." said Gold
He then leaves the room and bumps into a guard. " Let my father and Midas know that I must leave the ball. I should be back in the morning." said Charming
"Why?" asked the guard
"My engagement ring was stolen by the bandit Snow White." said Charming
"Snow White?" asked the guard running down the hall. "The bandit Snow White was in the palace? I must alert the king right away!" said the guard running down the stairs. When Charming was gone and so was the guard they went over to the window.
"Mission accomplished with no help from you, Gold." said Emma as the group watched Charming ride after Snow White. A guard comes up next to them and tries to shoot Snow White with an arrow. Emma knocks him over knocking him out. Emma falls over and sees the ring. She puts it on her finger as runs more guards enter. Hook fights them off as Emma runs. Gold sees her put the ring on and goes after her. As they come down the stairs Regina enters the ballroom. Gold stops when he sees her. " Leia, wait… you have to wait until Regina leaves."
"That could take all night! Snow needs this ring now! " protested Emma
Emma goes down the stairs and is about to exit the ball room when a guard comes in. "That's her. That's the one who helped the bandit escape." said the guard.
Emma is suddenly surrounded and Regina ends up in front of her . "Going somewhere?" asked Regina
"Regina…" started Emma
"A bit informal. It's your majesty. Now, Snow White may have left the party early but I suspect your night has just begun." said Regina
"Why take an imitation when you can have the genuine article." said Gold coming out the darkness as Snow White.
"Snow white. I didn't think you were dumb enough to show your face at a royal ball when you are feared by this entire kingdom, barely escape and then show up again just for her and the other friend I found in the woods? You really shouldn't leave the look outs behind that's rather careless, dear. " said Regina
"Other one? What other one I didn't have a look out." said Snow White
"Come now, you're protecting her because you think I'll run off and tell Rumplestilskin that you have his girl… I'm not that cruel. Besides, you did me a favor I've been trying to figure out how to win the girl's confidence for some time now but now I don't have to because I can use her as a bargaining chip. So, Thank you, Snow White." said Regina. Regina turns to the guards. "Take both of them and let's go."
" First, not the entire kingdom fears me just everyone who believes those posters in other words, only the people who is stupid enough to believe the musings of heartless bitch written on pieces of paper." said Gold "Now, let them go. They have nothing to do with this. This is between you and me!"
" They are still in league with helping hide you and I'm afraid I can't tolerate that." said Regina "But don't worry, it won't be for long just until their execution."
Emma and Gold are thrown in a cage with Belle.
"Well, what's the plan?" asked Emma
"We wait until we get to Regina's." said Gold
"That's all you got? You're the fucking dark one do magic get us out of here!" yelled Emma "We're running out of time and it's all your fault."
"Rumple, you have to do something. Our future is at stake here." said Belle
"I know… I know. But I know this cage it's made to repel magic I can't get us out of here." said Gold"But we'll get our chance to fight this. Don't worry." said Gold who was slowly forming a plan in his head.
After what seems like a few days at least. They are all woken up an escorted down to the cells all three are thrown in the same one.
"Well? Now what?" asked Emma
"Now, we make sure that we get back on track. We need Charming and Charles to rescue us." said Gold
"We could just figure out a way to rescue ourselves." said Emma
"What's the fun in that, Dearie." said Gold
"Rumple, you have magic. Just get us out of here so we can get to Snow White and Prince Charming together." said Belle
"No, you're safer here." said Gold
" I wouldn't say any of us are safe here." said the woman in the next cell.
"And you're an expert on this, Dearie?" asked Gold
"I've been here a long time and we're only going to be here one more day. The queen plans to execute everyone in here. Tomorrow." said the woman
"Well, aren't you merry sun shine… listen, Dearie. You might be executed tomorrow but I guarantee the rest of us won't be." said Gold
"Actually, Snow. I imagine she'll kill you tonight." said the woman
"Wrong again, Dearie." said Gold who suddenly disappears from the cell.
He reappears in another part of the forest where he sees Snow White and follows her as she is walking through the woods and both get trapped in a net. Charming comes out from behind a tree laughing. "I told you I'd find you." said Charming "No matter what you do I will always find you."
"Is this the only way you can catch a woman by entrapping her?" asked Snow
"It's the only way to catch thieving scum." said Charming
"Well, aren't you a real prince charming." said Snow
"It's amazing how a sarcastic remark becomes a cute nickname."
"Who are you? Why do you look just like me." asked Snow
"I am you." said Gold
" No, you're not." said Snow
"Yes I am.." said Gold
" No, you're not." said Snow
" Both of you are giving me a headache. Please stop. By the way I have a name. It's James." said Charming
"I don't care." said Snow "Charming suits you. Now, cut me down, Charming."
"No, Snow White… don't worry I won't turn you in. I just want the ring you stole from me." said Charming
"That will be difficult considering you don't know which one of us is the real Snow White." said Gold
Snow realizes what Gold is doing. "She's right you can't be sure but I don't have your ring not the jewelry type." said Snow
"I noticed now give me the ring." said Charming
"I don't have your ring." said Snow White
" You don't?" asked Gold " You were supposed to steal that ring! How else is Hook supposed to take you out of this kingdom?" asked Gold
"Well, excuse me! I dropped it during the fight." said Snow
"You are completely useless." said Gold
" How dare you… who do you think you are anyway!" yelled Snow
"I'm the person who helped you escape though I wish I hadn't." said Gold
" One of you has my ring where is it?" said Charming
" my princess has your ring." said Hook coming from behind a tree. "Sorry allow me to introduce myself. I'm Charles… that was a lovely ball you threw the other night. My princess found a ring and went to find the owner but was unsuccessful."
"She has my ring?" asked Charming "Well that's three women who robbed me. Where is she?"
"That's the problem she was taken captive by the evil queen and taken to her castle." said Hook
"Not a problem it used to be mine. I can get you in but not from here. So, cut me down then you can get your prince, you can get your ring, you can stop being me, and I'll never have to see your Charming face ever again." said Snow. Charming cuts Snow White and Gold down. Hook pulls Gold over to the side.
"Rumplestilskin, what exactly are you doing?" asked Hook
"Well, Charles, I'm trying to get help for Leia and Belle. Belle is still very upset with me I thought I'd make it up to her." said Gold
They steal a carriage and as they ride they hit a bump and Snow White and Gold fall over Charming laughs. "You are really enjoying this aren't you Charming?" ask Snow and Gold together.
"It's not my fault that your face is plastered on every tree in the forest." said Charming he suddenly notice her grab something.
"What's that I thought you weren't the jewelry type?" asked Charming
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." said Snow
He goes to grab it from her.
"No, no careful that's a weapon." said Snow
"Dust?" he asked
"Fairy dust it's from a very dark fairy. It makes enemies into something much less threatening."
"Really?" laughed Charming
"She's quite serious." said Gold
"I'm saving it for someone." said Snow
"The queen?" asked Charming
"No, Bernadette Peters. Yes, the queen." said Gold
"The charges on her posters are lies but it hasn't stopped her from trying to kill me. It's why I had to steal from you I've got to get out of this kingdom. I was trying to get passage on a pirate ship." said Snow
"What did you do to incur her wrath?" asked Charming
"She blames me for ruining her life." said Snow
"Did you?" asked Charming
"Yes." said Snow
They stop in front of the castle.
"We're going to need some help." said Gold
"Wait here. we'll be back with help." said Gold and Snow together
After Snow and Gold talk to Ruby. Gold does a spell to synchronize himself with Snow White so anything he said or did she would say or do also. They take grappling hooks again and slowly climb up the side of the castle to Regina's chambers. Oddly enough Regina was looking at an apple. Snow White and Gold enter trying to sneak up behind her. Snow White prepares the dust to throw at Regina when she turns around. "I didn't think you were dumb enough to break out of the dungeon and then sneak back into your own home." said Regina " Though having a decoy was very smart…wonderful to see you, Rumple."
"You have something that belongs to me. I want it back." Snow and Gold say together
"A synchronizing spell. very clever." said Regina
"Don't come any closer." said Snow White and Gold together both holding up a hand.
"You think I'm afraid of fairy dust?" asked Regina
"This is dark fairy dust." said Snow White and Gold together
"How did you get that?" asked Regina
"Doesn't matter. What matters is that I intend to use it on you." said Snow and Gold together
"Do you really think turning into a bug will stop me?" asked Regina
"No but stepping on you will." said Snow and Gold together
"You plan to kill me? I don't think you have that in you, Snow White either of you." said Regina
Snow White throws the dust and Regina stops it and makes it disappear.
"Dark magic is my strong suit not yours." said Regina
"It is mine, dearie!" said Gold turning both of them into the dark one. "I am the one that taught you. Now, let Leia and Belle go or I will make you wish you never even heard of Rumplestilskin, Dearie!" yelled Gold forming a fire ball in his hand. He throws it at Regina who suddenly catches it and throws it right back at him. Gold and Snow disappear behind her and it hits the nearest wall. "Let them go, Dearie or I'll make you." said Gold
"Just try it." said Regina
Gold rips out Regina's heart and talks into it.
"Guards! I Release the prisoners." said Regina
"Are you sure, milady?" one of the guards asked
"Don't argue with me just do it!" she yelled
The guards left to release the prisoners and Gold puts Regina's heart back in her body and turning Snow and himself back into Snow White.
"I wouldn't have done that if I were you. Guards! It's time you suffered as I did." she said as the guards came out.
"It was a mistake Regina. I didn't know that telling your mother about Daniel would cause her to end your marriage I was a child." said Snow and Gold together
"A child who never learned the most basic lesson all actions have consequences. " said Regina
"You can kill me Regina but this kingdom will never be yours." said Snow and Gold.
"She dies tonight." said Regina
"You can't kill one without killing both." said Gold
"Then that's just what I'll have to do." said Regina"Take them both away."
The guards take her away. Snow White and Gold are escorted to the square and tied to a stake
"So, who are you really and why are you dying with me?" asked Snow White
"I'm Rumplestilskin and you are not dying tonight, Dearie. We are both well aware of that." said Gold
Snow throws a fire ball setting the stake on fire. The others scream as they get there in time to see Snow White get set on fire. "RUMPLE! RUMPLE!" yelled Belle.
Everyone starts to cry and even later that night around the fire they are still crying especially Emma who realizes that she truly lost her family and things would never be the way they should be.
"Wait, I'm still here. We saw her die. If she had I would have faded from existence because I would have never have been born. She's alive… Snow White's alive."
"That means Rumplestilskin might still be alive too." said Belle
A lady bug and a beetle fly around them and Hook tries to kill them when Charming stops him and explains what Snow White told him. Gold suddenly lands on a log and transforms himself back to normal. "Rumple!" yelled Belle running over and hugging him. "I can't believe I almost lost you again."
" I'm sorry, Belle. It seems that every time I try to protect the ones I love it always comes out wrong because I let anger get in the way. You deserve someone much, much better than me. When we get back to Story brooke I'll step out of your life forever." said Gold
"No, Rumple, I don't want that. I was thinking about it and I once told Neal that I loved all of you even the evil parts if I leave you just because you killed someone else I would be a hypocrite. I hate that you lied to me but I think I understand why and I wasn't going to forgive you but when you were burning on that stake I knew felt all the same pain that I felt the first time we met and I know that I truly love you and that if you were willing to die to save Snow White then there is truly love in you." said Belle
"Speaking of which." said Gold. He goes over to the lady bug and snaps his finger changing her back. Emma suddenly hugs her making Snow White very uncomfortable. Snow White hugs Red. "O, and Rumplestilskin… thank you."said Snow turning to Gold
"Your welcome. Dearie." said Gold
"And Charming. I guess I should thank you too. You saved me." said Snow White
"It seemed like the honorable thing to do." said Charming
"I'm going to the stream to get water. I can fill your canteen if you like." said Snow who walks away.
"They are warming up to each other. Good this is good we're on the right track." said Emma
Gold walks up to Emma. "Let's talk about the new person shall we? What were you thinking, Miss Swan? If she was supposed to die. She was supposed to die. You are now the one ruining the timeline. Who knows what untold horrors her being alive could cost us. "
"Then let's take her with us." said Emma
"No, if she needs to die we need to kill her!" yelled Gold
"No! We can't kill her." said Emma
"Well maybe you can't but I can." said Gold forming a fire ball in his hand and throws it. Emma pushes Marian out of the way.
"Emma, you are being honorable but Rumplestilskin is right this time she isn't supposed to live." said Hook
"Gold, Belle doesn't want you to kill anymore." said Emma
"She doesn't want me to kill for revenge. This isn't about revenge this is about all of us!" yelled Gold
"We're taking her to the future… we are not killing her and that's final." said Emma "And if you feel so strongly perhaps we should see what Belle thinks."
" Fine. It's your funeral, Miss Swan." said Gold
They go talk to the woman who refuses to believe them so Emma knocks her unconscious. Charming comes over. "Have either of you seen Snow, she went to the stream to fill the canteens and she… the ring she took it." said Charming
"Do you know where she went?" asked Emma
"She was trying to get passage on a pirate ship. There is only one way to the harbor from here the troll bridge." said Charming running in that direction.
The others go after him when they realize that Snow doesn't have the dust anymore. Meanwhile at the troll bridge the trolls ambush Snow White and Prince Charming who both go about kicking their asses. Charming holds the trolls off as she runs. She turns back to let him know they are safe and sees that Charming is in trouble so she thinks fast and picks up the sand on the ground. Then goes back and threatens the trolls telling them that she has dark fairy dust and unless they let Charming go she will use it. They all back off running away. "You saved me." said Charming
"It seems like the honorable thing to do." said Snow
"But how you used the dust on yourself." said Charming
"Sand. Trolls aren't known for their cleverness." said Snow
The others watch as Snow and Charming exchange what they have to exchange. Charming takes out the ring and Snow White puts it on. Then they say goodbye and part ways. Suddenly, the others hear something from behind them. " So, what did I miss?" asked Anna Sophia
Emma hugs her " Mom, I'm so sorry. You're right. I missed you." said Emma
"I missed you too." said Anna Sophia
She looks over at the body. "Who's that?" asked Anna Sophia
"Just someone who was in a cell with me. Regina was planning on killing her but we've decided to take her to the future." said Emma
"Have you lost your fucking mind?! If this woman is supposed to be dead we need to kill her!" yelled Anna Sophia
"We're heroes. We don't kill people… that's what you always say." said Emma
"This is different this is a time travel thing… Gold messed up the time line you fixed it there is no need to mess things up again?!" yelled Anna Sophia
"Well, we're taking her. I'm not going to have blood on my hands." said Emma
"It's your funeral." said Anna Sophia
They go to Rumple's place. "We did it. Everything is back on track."
"And you brought another friend and some luggage." said Rumple
"So, how's the portal coming can you open it?" asked Emma
"I cannot." said Rumple
" What do you mean you can't! Listen you scaly skinned crocodile! You promised my daughter you can get her home and you are going to get her the fuck home or my arrow is going to make a new home in your goody bags!" yelled Anna Sophia
"Relax, I can do it. Rumplestilskin, hand over the black fairy wand." said Gold
"I don't just give away my possessions and I don't just take orders from people." said Rumple
"Do you take orders from yourself?" asked Gold changing back into himself "Now hand over the wand."
"You wouldn't hurt me you are me." said Rumple
" Then you know what I'm capable of now hand over the wand." said Gold
Rumple gives Gold the wand. He stares in amazement as they go through but suddenly grabs hold of Emma. "Wait, does my son forgive me?" asked Rumple
"Yes." said Emma
"Yes but what? What are you not telling me. Tell me or you'll never leave."
"He loves you and he forgives you but he dies. He dies to save us all don't let that be in vain." said Emma
"No, I can change it. I can save him." said rumple
"No, you think you can change the future but you can't just drink that potion you were making and forget you ever saw us." said Emma
Rumple drinks and let's go of emma as the portal closes. They all end up back in the barn and as they land the portal closes. Emma and Anna Sophia walk out of the barn and go to back to their place. Mary Margret, David, and Henry are in the living room dressed in formal attire. Emma and Anna Sophia go about hugging them all.
"We were worried you weren't answering your cell." said Charming
"I'm fine." said Emma
"Where have you been?" asked MM
"Somewhere very enlightening." said Anna Sophia
"I'm just glad to be home." said Emma
" So, you're not…" said MM and AS together
"No, this is where we belong in Storybrooke… Mom… Dad… Mom… I missed you." said Emma hugging them again.
"What changed your mind?" asked Anna Sophia
"That's rather rude." said MM
" Seeing you burn at the stake I realized how much I loved you and I was so worried that I would never see you again then when you were ok I hugged you and you looked at me and had no idea who I was. You acted as if I was a complete stranger and I realized I've been doing that to you… all of you ever since I got here. When Henry brought me to Story brooke he said he was bringing me to break a curse but he was bringing me home. I missed all of you." said Emma
"Come on, go get ready we have a wedding to get to." said Anna Sophia
In the woods everyone is gathered by the town well for the ceremony. A tent is pitched close by for the reception but everyone is standing around.
"It is my honor to aficate this most honorable union." said Archie "If anyone has an objection to this please speak or forever hold your piece."
No one said anything in objection.
"Belle and Rumplestilskin will not recite vows they have written themselves." said Archie
"Rumplestilskin, this thing we have it has never been easy." said Belle "I've lost you so many times to darkness, to weakness, and finally to death. Now, I realize I have not spent my life losing you I have spent my life finding you." said Belle
"Belle, when we first met I wasn't just unloved and unloving I was an enemy and had only brought me pain. My walls were up but you brought them down. You brought me home. You took away the darkness and brought the light. I owe more to you than I can ever say." said Gold "How you can see the man behind the monster I will never know."
"The monster is gone and the man beneath may be flawed but we all are." said Belle "Sometimes the best book has the dustiest jacket and sometimes the best tea cup is chipped."
They then kiss. Everyone is enjoying the wedding reception. The woman starts to freak out when she sees Regina. Emma goes over to Regina..."So, Regina. I brought a woman back from the past and she still sees you as Evil. I told her it was ok but maybe if she talks to you…" started Emma
"I understand." said Regina
Emma brings her over and Robin over. "Marian? Marian! I thought you were dead." he kisses and hugs his ex wife.
"Robin!" she hugs him
"Momma? Momma!" yelled Roland hugging her.
"You… you did this?" asked Regina
"I just wanted to save her life." said Emma
"You're just like your mother never thinking of consequences." said Regina
"I didn't know." said Emma
"Of course you didn't… congratulations, you just ruined my marriage." said Regina
Regina stomps away. The Charmings go after her "Regina, we need to talk about this." said Anna Sophia
"You are the last people I want to talk to! This entire Charming family does nothing but ruin my life and take away everything I love!" yelled Regina
" You know these are just mistakes. We were not aware that was Robin's old wife." said Anna Sophia
" Well here is something you should be aware of take one step near me and you'll burn!" yelled Regina
They step closer to try to reason with Regina but instead of a fire ball a blast of ice forms in Regina's hands and she uses it to freeze the Charmings into ice statues the force of her magic blows her back and when she gets up Regina has changed from an evil queen into an ice queen and everything around her has frozen over.
