BUT WHATEVER WERE STILL ON OUR WAY TO FLORIDA!
The good news and the bad news… the bad news is the chapter was sort of ready I just needed to add a few scenes here and there and then make sure I didn't leave anyone out… of course I had so I had to go back and add them in… then I was battling depression and writers block, then my muse gave me her ass to kiss because I was too down to try and write anything, so then when I was ready she gave me the silent treatment… so after groveling and kissing some major ass she decided to help me write this chapter. Now for the good news: EVERYTHING IS FALLING INTO PLACE! Our apartment is ready… we're 10 minutes walking… to the school *Insert screams here* LOL we got our place, we purchased our tickets! We leave on the 11th to go to North Carolina Rocky MT to say goodbye to family there and then we fly from Raleigh North Carolina to ORLANDO FLORIDA BABY!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything and I take credit for only what belongs to me ;)
Guys the first half is going to be hella confusing but I wrote it that way for a reason bear with me it will all be explained so, if your confused then I did my job, but if you're not then guess what? You are one of the few that are so obsessed with the show that remember every detail of their story no matter how miniscule…that's good because you're going to need it… Remember they were all going through different stuff in their lives when they were 18, the only ones that might be similar is Regina and Snow.
"Ow!" Henry yelled grabbing the back of his head as Granny smacked him hard in the back of it
"Watch your mouth" Granny scolded as she looked in the booth. The newly formed teens were starting to stir awake.
"What happened?" Tink asked as she frowned her face
"Who is on me?" Snow groaned pushing at whoever was on her side
"Ow" Regina said as she sat up
"Gina, what the hell is going on?!" Mal yelled grabbing her friends arm
"Yeah" Roland chimed in frowning his little face
"Ugh… I don't know, did we switch bodies or something?" Regina asked as she rubbed her eyes
"Not quite" Princess Tiana said as she looked at a young Regina
"Well, what's wrong with us?" Tink asked as Regina turned to face the fairy
Regina's eyes got big as golf balls and Tink frowned, although fairies have always been young and would never have started out young, but whatever the spell did to Tinkerbell, changed her to look a lot younger than she was. Her hair shined with green pixie dust and her face was soft and round, even with the look of horror on her face from Regina's loss for words to describe her appearance she looked almost angelic
"What… What… What is it? Oh my god… do I have an extra eye! Please tell me I don't have an extra eye!" Tink exclaimed grabbing at her face
"No stupid, it would seem that the spell…" Maleficent started when a scream rang out
"OH MY BLOODY GOD!" Hook screamed "MY HAND! WHERE'S MY BLOODY HAND?" he screamed shooting up out of the booth standing on it and waving his hook around
"You've never had a damn hand!" Granny yelled at the 16 year old. Although Hook was still in his pirate clothes, his appearance was different, his hair was longer, and his entire face was clear of hair, except a goatee.
"That's not true you old hag!" Hook yelled "I had a hand; it had 4 fingers and a thumb on it!"
"Stop yelling" Emma groaned as she sat up
"Mom" Henry yelled
"Uh… nice try kid, I don't have any" Emma said frowning "Where the hell am I?"
"Why am I on the floor?" Ruby said as she sat up "What happened?"
"Papa" Roland said as Robin stirred awake
"Hmmm I must have drunken a lot more than I thought" he said grabbing his head and looking around when he saw a young boy starring back at him.
"Can I help you?" he asked wide eyed
"Papa" Roland said again
"Um… sorry but I don't know who he is" he said as his eyes darted around him
"This isn't good" Princess Tiana said
"What happened" Belle moaned as she sat up "Oh my god are you okay?" she asked grabbing the man beside her who was lying face first on the table
Rumplestilskin groaned but did not move to open his eyes as Belle lifted his head off the table. Belle giggled as she pulled a sliced pickle from his forehead, and other then the fact Rumple refused to open his eyes he didn't appear to have any injuries
"Do you know who he is?" Elsa asked Belle
Belle frowned looking at the teenager and then shook her head "No, should I?"
"What the hell kind of spell was that?" Regina interrupted grabbing her head
"Wait a minute, Gina; do you know who I am?" Mal asked grabbing her friend by the arms
"Yes, why" Regina said snatching her arm away from Maleficent
"Because apparently you're the only one" Mal said looking around the table
"What?" Regina said looking at Snow grabbing the woman's arm
"Ow!" Snow said as she glared at Regina
"Who am I?"
"You're Regina! Jesus, let me go" Snow said as she rolled her eyes and snatched away
"Well that was a stupid question" Granny said "Let me try… Where is your father?"
Snow frowned at the woman "Do I know you?"
"Just answer the damn question" Granny growled
"Excuse me?" Snow said a frown appearing on her face as she stared flabbergasted at the older woman who dared to speak to her that way "When my father returns, he will know how you spoke to me… stepmother, what are you going to do about this? Or must I wait for my father?" Snow asked with a frown
Regina frowned at the girl who was looking at her with such a stuck up-entitled brat-attitude
"Well" Snow said glaring at Regina
"Oh great" Tiana said "She doesn't know he's dead… how old would that make her?"
"WHO'S DEAD!" Snow yelled turning to look at Tiana and the Maleficent
"I don't know, Gina how old are you?" Mal asked ignoring Snow and turning to Regina
Regina grabbed her head, she felt like she was spinning in circles. She groaned and leaned her head against the cool surface of the table, while Maleficent and Princess Tiana looked at her worriedly
"WHO'S DEAD?" Snow yelled again but stopped when she glanced looked around her "And where are we anyway?" she asked as Emma made a face at the girl who turned her face up at the outdated wallpaper and strangers staring at her
"I don't know who's dead but maybe if you stop screaming and demanding things they will tell us" Charming said glaring at Snow who gasped
"Excuse me"
"I said stop yelling, there are other people sitting beside you" he said not backing down
"What are you? A beggar? How did you get in here let alone sitting next to me? The servants quarters and lunch hall should be in the back" she said with an eye roll
"First of all I'm a shepherd…"
"Difference. Please." Snow interrupted not looking at him but straight ahead as if he was too beneath her to look at
David scuffed and continued "Like I said I'm a shepherd and unlike you rude royals, I wait and listen to what is being said so that way I can know what's going on, instead of yelling and screaming"
"Whatever shepherd, remove yourself from my presence I'm through with you" she said giving him her back and a wave of dismissal
Charming's blood boil as everyone in the restaurant looked between the couple, he grabbed her arm and made her face him "You don't dismiss me you spoiled brat! I would never treat someone the way you have just treated me!"
"Well aren't you a real Prince Charming!" Snow growled trying to snatch her arm a way but David wouldn't give
"The irony in that statement alone…" Grumpy mumbled
"You know I used to think that maybe just maybe all you royals weren't alike but I can clearly see that you are! Every last one of you" he said roughly letting go of the girls arm, standing and jumping over the booth into another so he could reached the floor
"Where do you think you're going?!" Snow yelled
"Why do you care?!"
"Because I'm not finished with this discussion, when I'm finished then you may leave" she said looking past her step mother and at the man who was looked to be her age, disrespect her. But to be honest she honestly doesn't know why she called out for him, she could really careless where he was going but something in her felt empty when he left her side
All David did was scuff and glare at her before he walked over to the bar and gave her his back to which Snow just rolled her eyes and mumbled something incoherent under her breath
"What the hell happened to them?" Grumpy asked out loud as Regina looked up at her surroundings. She noticed a very agitated looking blonde glaring at Snow
"Nothing happened but as soon as I get my baring's one of you will take me and my stepmother home" Snow said as a matter a fact
"Who is this bitch?" Emma said pointing at Snow
Upon hearing what Emma called her stepdaughter, Regina shot up from the table looking at Emma as if she had grown another head "Excuse you peasant girl, this is Princess Snow, and you will do right to show her the respect due her title… or the last thing out of mouth will be you begging me not to throw you in the dungeons" Regina said and if the diner couldn't get any more quiet, it would seem that it had
Neal, Emma and Hook looked at each other and then hurled with laughter
"The respect due her title?" Emma mocked
"Throw her in the dungeon?" Hook yelled
"Who the hell are you people?" Neal asked as he, Hook and Emma continued to laugh
Mal grabbed Regina and turned her to face her again "Gina, who am I?"
Regina jerked away from her "Unhand me! I don't know who you are but if you grab me again I will be forced to have the royal guard arrest you" she said as she scooted closer to Snow
"Royal guard?" Neal said as he sobered "Hey, where the hell are we?" he said looking at Emma who suddenly realized who she was looking at.
She frowned pushing back Henry and Paige, while Hook ducked and she pulled her hand back and punched Neal in the face "You asshole! You left me to get caught and go to jail while you ran off!" she yelled as she continued to hit him anywhere she could reach
"Emma, look…." Neal tried to plead as he blocked off most of her hits
"Fuck you!" Emma yelled as she stood up on the seat and threw her leg over the side to get out of the booth
"Hey, where are you going?" Leroy yelled standing
"Minding my business midget" Emma yelled at Leroy
"Hey" Ruby grunted as she stood up right "Emma that was rude"
"And your skirt is too short, what are you a prostitute or something?"
Ruby gasped as the diner erupted with laughter as Neal made his way over the booth and toward Emma
"Emma, wait, how did you… when did you… look I'm sorry about…" but he was cut off by another slap to the face
"Screw you Neal, how could you just leave me out there! I was preg…" Emma stopped. She almost revealed that she had just had a baby about 6 months earlier.
"You were what?" Neal asked not catching what she almost blurted out
"Nothing… whatever I get it, survival of the fittest…"
"No, it's not like that I swear… some guy came to me and said that I had to let you go… that you had to get caught and that I could never see you again"
"And so you just listened to him? Some random guy…"
"He knew who I was, Emma, he knew my name!"
"I KNOW YOUR NAME! UNLESS NEAL ISN'T YOUR NAME!" Emma said with a glare
"No, it is it's just… it's complicated"
"Oh my god, Neal isn't even your real name?" Emma exclaimed "Wow" she said deadpanned and turned to leave
"Where is Blue?" Tink who had remained silent asked as she looked over the diner "Oh my god, I'm big… I've never been big before" she said as she looked at herself "How did I get big" she asked still looking at her body "Oh my god Blue is going to be mad at me!" she screamed as fear covered her features
Everyone looked at the fairy that seemed to have missed or be missing what was going on, they just shook their heads and looked back at Emma who was doing the same as she scuffed heading for the door
"Princess, you can't leave, we have to figure out, what is happening" Princess Tiana said
"Look you got the wrong girl, Queen Entitlement and Princess spoiled brat is over there" she said as she pointed to Snow and Regina before turning to the door to open it when it glowed purple.
Maleficent threw her hand toward the door, making sure it was locked
"What the hell?" Emma exclaimed as she turned around
"No one is going anywhere!" the sorceress yelled
"You have magic" Regina asked fear in her eyes as she looked at Maleficent "Get away from me!" she yelled as she shoved the women to the side to get out of the booth.
"Guard! Guards!" Regina yelled as she stood grabbing Snow's wrist and pulling her behind her
"Regina, calm down, you have magic too… and if you don't…" Maleficent said as she stood. Magic was fuel by feelings and right now Regina was going through all of them at the same time. Fear, anger, confusion, she knew that if they didn't calm her friend down they would be for a real magical treat.
Prince Naveen went to go grab the frightened Queen, hoping it would calm down
"No!" Maleficent yelled as she conjured her own magic to protect herself and those sitting at the table behind her. The last thing they need was a fully experienced sorceress to tap into her magic defensively, but from the look in Regina's eyes it was too late.
Regina's eyes widened at the approach of a man she didn't know, her fear sky rocketed, not only was she in a new a place she didn't know, but she was surrounded by people she didn't recognize.
"NO!" Regina yelled throwing her hands up in front of her and the restaurant erupted in a bright purple light, a gust of magic that could have taken out and army surged through restaurant, on all sides blowing and breaking any and everything in its wake, glasses, plates even the diner windows. Nothing was spared from Regina's magic, tables toppled over and customers ended up either under tables or on top of collapsed ones. It blew Naveen and everyone near the Queen away from her, including snow. Who landed in some random customers arms; everyone that was in their seats was blown onto the floor, covered in food and drinks.
Once the magic was done everyone moved to sit up and stand
"Remind me never to do that again" Naveen said as he stood brushing off glass and food from his clothes
Hollow breaths were heard as everyone turned to face Regina, she looked more frightened than ever as she stared down at her hands.
"Regina, its okay" Maleficent said as she approached her friend "Calm down"
Regina's eyes watered as she looked around the room to all the eyes on her "I'm sorry… I… I didn't mean to do that" she said with a shaky breath as she continued to hyperventilate, she grabbed her chest "I… I… I can't…" she barely got out as her eyes rolled up into the back of her head and as she fell forward, Maleficent waved her hand over her, her magic surrounding Regina and the young Queen floated to the ground softly.
"What did you do to her?" Snow exclaimed as she stood
"What did she do to us?" Emma yelled as Neal looked at them all with fear
"Where the hell are we?" he demanded looking at Maleficent
"You're in StoryBrooke" Leroy said as he stood sweeping glass of his clothes
"StoryBrooke? Is this near the Enchanted Forrest?" Neal asked "Are in the Enchanted Forrest?"
"The Enchanted, what? Seriously Neal… what did you do drink the water?" Emma asked
"WILL YOU SHUT UP THE HELL UP! EMMA, DAMN!" Neal yelled fear was all over his features, Emma had never seen him this scared before and they were professional thieves, fear came with the territory, the fear of serving time, the fear of getting caught, but this fear she had never seen on him before.
"Okay" she said quietly as she frowned at him
"No, The Evil Queen cast a curse that sent us all here" Tiana said
"Us all?" Neal questioned "does that mean the Dark One is here as well?" he asked quietly
Everyone looked to where Rumplestilskin was sitting finally opening his eyes due to the commotion that was going on, he looked at them with wide eyes "Wha… what?" he said looking around at everyone. "Well it's not me" he said
"Ugh… this shit is really starting to piss me off" Maleficent yelled as she waved her hand over the group of teens making them all glow green. "Now listen carefully, you are going to slowly standup walk over here and we're going to Regina's house. If any of you misbehave and or try to walk, run, sprint, or jog away I will disembowel you. Understood!" she yelled as her eyes glowed green
The group nodded slowly and stood walking over to the sorceress
"Wait, where are you taking them?" Elsa finally finding her voice as she and Tiana along with Pocahontas and Naveen stood beside her
"To Regina's to figure this thing out, go get that blue moth, and whoever else you think could help sort this mess out" Maleficent said as Granny, Jefferson, Paige, Henry and Roland ran to stand next to her as green smoke appeared around them
Mayoral Mansion
As they reappeared at Regina's house, Maleficent made everyone sit down on whatever surface was free in the living room, while she conjured a small cot for Regina who was still passed out
"Move at all, and I'll skin you alive" she threatened as the doorbell rang the teens all sat quietly as she left the room
Jefferson stood by the door with Paige, Henry and Roland while Granny stood next to Ruby
"Granny what's going on?" Ruby asked Granny looked down at her step daughter and sighed, her memories must have changed on the trip to Regina's, and she just patted her Granddaughter's head and smiled
"Where are they?" Blue asked as she walked into the house
"In that room" Maleficent pointed to the living room
Blue, Tiana, Elsa, Pocahontas, Naveen, and Nova "Well did they say anything?!" Blue asked as she rushed into the room. She stopped when she took in the sight before her
"Blue!" Tink yelled as she saw her mentor
"Green" Blue said as she slowly approached her
"It's Tinkerbell… but I don't know how I got big, I don't even remember doing it" the fairy said as she looked at the woman with fear "What are you wearing?"
"Tinkerbell calm down… it's okay"
"Nova!" Tinkerbell shrieked as the fear erased from her face in that instant and ran into her friends arms
"Blue" Snow yelled as she jumped up and hugged the woman "What is going on? Where is my father? I am so frightened!" Snow said as Blue hugged the young girl again
"I know but don't fret Princess; everything is going to be fine… what happened to the Queen?" Blue asked as she noticed the Queen lying on a cot
Snow gasped and walked over to queen "Blue she used magic… I didn't even know she had magic… I don't think she knew she had magic" She said as she sat on the bed next to her step mother and brushed hair from her face
Blue stood by the cot and waved her hand over her face "She's fine she just tired herself out" the fairy said as she turned to everyone in the group
"What's wrong with my Papa and Gina?" Roland asked as he walked over to the other side of cot and took Regina's hand
"Their fine little one" Blue said with a smile
"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Emma finally said as she stood
"Emma" Neal warned "Do you know who this is?" he said pointing to Blue
"No, but clearly there's something in the air and you do!" Emma yelled getting frustrated she felt like she was on an episode of the twilight zone and she was the only normal one that hadn't drunken the water.
"Princess calm down" Blue said
"Stop calling me that! I'm not a Princess, my name is Emma Swan and I am…"
"The daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming also known as Prince David"
David, Emma, and Snow looked at each other and then back at Blue
"WHAT!" they all yelled
"No way, am I her daughter!" Emma yelled scrunching up her face
"Well I don't want you either!" Snow yelled back "And you, you said you were a peasant, so now you're a liar and royal!" she yelled looking at Charming
"I said I was a shepherd and I am… she's lying!" Charming yelled gesturing toward Blue
"I know you are all confused but I speak the truth…"
"Whatever I'm out of here!" Emma yelled as she walked passed Blue when Maleficent stopped her
"MOVE!" Emma yelled as her hands began to glow
"Emma" Neal said as Emma turned to him and he pointed to her hands
"What the hell?" she said quietly
"Look sit down and I will explain everything" Maleficent said as Regina began to stir
The sorceress ran over to her friend "Regina"
Regina groaned and opened her eyes but as soon as her eyes fell on Maleficent she jolted up right, shoving Snow off the bed so she could stand, then she grabbed the Princess placing her behind her
"What do you want?!" she yelled at Maleficent
"You're Majesty, calm down… I know you're frightened but this is a safe place" Blue said making Regina face her and Maleficent scuff
"You're the Blue fairy" Regina said more than she asked
"Yes"
"Where are we?" she demanded "And where are my guards?"
"You're…" Blue began when Maleficent cut her off
"There not here, you're not in the Enchanted Forest anymore, none of us are" Maleficent said deadpanned as Blue glared at the woman
"What are you talking about?" Snow gasped "Where is my father?"
"Princess perhaps we should…"
"Dead… Your stepmother killed him" she added
"WHAT!" Snow and Regina both said at the same time
"You killed my father!" Snow said with tears in her eyes
"NO!" Regina said as she looked at Snow
"Maleficent!" Elsa yelled
"What, we're not going to get anywhere with you all coddling them, tell them the truth so we can deal with this… you!" Maleficent said pointing at Henry "Come here, you know the stories better than anyone, whatever I get wrong or don't know you fix, got it?" she asked as Henry quickly nodded wide eyed
"Regina, how old are you?"
"18" she said quietly
"What about you Emma?" Henry asked
"18"
"So is it safe to say everyone here is 18?" Tiana asked
They all looked at each other and nodded
"Okay, Rumplestilskin is first since you're the easiest" Mal said
"That's your son, he's your father, both of you hate each other… next" she said deadpanned
"Hey no, that's not true" Henry said as he stepped forward
"You guys were mad at first but then you made up, Rumplestilskin was going to die and then you guys made up"
"I was going to what?"
"Die… Christ, what you hard of hearing or something?" Mal said frustrated
"You and Emma had a kid… which is me" Henry said with a smile as Emma and Neal looked at each other "You didn't know me because my mom had me in jail and then she gave me up for adoption and that's when Regina… my other mother adopted me, until I went and found you and you broke the curse"
"What?" Emma said "No, the kid is just had… he… he was an infant"
"You had a kid and didn't tell me?" Neal asked
"Well you weren't exactly around!"
"But you knew how much I hated my dad for abandoning me and then you just…"
"I WAS ALONE NEAL! I WAS IN PRISON! PREGNANT AND ALONE! THE MAN THAT SAID HE LOVED ME LEFT ME AND HIS UNBORN CHILD WAITING FOR HIM IN A PARKING LOT!" Emma yelled as tears fell from her eyes "I didn't even know I was pregnant until a few weeks later" she sniffed
"What about us?" Belle asked
"Belle you were taken by Rumplestilskin to save your kingdom from the ogre wars and then you fell in love with Rumplestilskin" Henry said
"Rumplestilskin you became the Dark One to save your son from the draft to go to the ogre wars and because your wife Mila left you for Killian… you were the one who cut off his hand… because you stole his wife and his magic bean to get Balefire back" Henry said
"YOU CUT OFF MY BLOODY HAND!" Hook yelled jumping up as Rumple jerked backward
"YOU TOOK HIS GIRL!" Belle yelled getting into Hook's face
"THAT DOESN'T GIVE HIM THE RIGHT TO…"
"YES IT DOES! IN SOME WORLDS YOU'RE PUT TO DEATH FOR LOOKING AT ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE! YOU'RE LUCKY THAT'S ALL HE DID WAS TAKE OFF YOU BLOODY HAND" Belle yelled mimicking the pirate
"Got a girl fighting your battles, huh coward?" Hook said glaring at Rumple who was quite literally behind Belle
"Leave him alone" Neal said
"What about me?" Tink asked
"Well you're story isn't a happy one Gree… Tinkerbell" Blue said correcting herself
"What happened?"
"You were always late to your training's and then you met a young girl who you said you were going to help…"
"I did" Tinkerbell said smiling "Well who was it? Did I do a good job?"
"It was Regina" Blue said as all eyes fell on Regina
"I told you that helping her would only bring you pain because her mother was a taker of hearts, she is surrounded by darkness"
"But… she would seem like the perfect person to help" Tink said looking at Regina who stared dumbstruck at Blue
"Well that was your argument and without my blessing you stole fairy dust and went to help her"
"What happened?" Tink asked quietly as she looked at Blue
"What I suspected, your visit to the young Queen didn't help and because you stole fairy dust and disobeyed me, you were no longer allowed to be a fairy, I took your wings and you were banished to live amongst the humans"
Tears fell from Tinkerbell's eyes "But… But… I want to be a fairy… I want it more than anything" she pleaded
"And you did just two days ago you flew and got your wings back" Nova exclaimed
"And me?" Killian said glaring at Rumple "Other than the fact that this bastard cut off my bloody hand"
"You and your brother was in the royal guard…" Henry began "You were sent to Neverland where you met Tink many years later to get dream shade a deadly weapon that the king told you was medicine. During the journey a boy named Peter Pan told dream shade was a deadly poison, but when you tried to tell your brother he didn't listen and cut himself with the poison because he believed his king wouldn't lie to him" Killian sat down at this news and stared at Henry
"Peter Pan told you of a cure for the poison and where to get it, after getting the cure you and your brother left…"
"So he's still alive then" Killian asked his eyes shining with hope
"No… you see Neverland is a magical place and because you were so far away from island… the magic that kept your brother alive went out and he died" Henry finished quietly
"David, you had a twin brother named James… who was not a good guy, you parents sold him to King George to keep their land. James died in battle and because King Myttus promised to make his kingdom wealthy is he slayed a dragon he went and found you… with the help of Rumplestilskin… King George tricked you though after you slayed the dragon… which was awesome by the way… he told you, you had to marry Princess Abigale, who didn't want you as much as you didn't want her" Henry said "Days before the marriage your carriage was robbed by no other than the bandit Snow White who was on the run by then from her Evil Stepmother…" Henry said getting into character as he told the story with excitement
"After you chased her down on the horse she'd stolen from you, you set up a trap in the woods and captured her and that's when you revealed that she was Snow White and…"
"And your making this longer than it needs to be" Maleficent said cutting off Henry
"Hey" he whined
"You two idiots fell in love, had a baby, gave it away, the curse took you, done" Mal said waving them off as she turned to Regina who remained silent
"Regina…"
"I don't want to hear it" she said with fresh tears in her eyes "All those things I could not have done… I am nothing like the monster my mother is"
"Regina" Elsa said stepping toward the Queen
"No, I don't want to hear it, I won't believe you… I don't believe you" she said shaking her head as the tears fell "Where is my father… you said I created this curse, well where is he? I would never leave him behind he would be the first person I took with me" she sniffed looking at Elsa
"Mom…" Henry started
"No! Tell me!" she yelled
"Okay Regina" Maleficent said taking a deep breath "When you were forced to marry Leopold, you quickly grew into your magic with the imp's help" she said pointing to Rumple who frowned and Neal looked at his father "A little after Snow White's 18 birthday you had her father killed and then tried to kill her, she was on the run for years until finally during you last battle with her, she along with her newly found fiancé and her group of munchkins, werewolves and a certain blue moth… she captured you and sentenced you to die…" Maleficent said
"Seeing how sickly sweet Snow is toward you she spared your life and you were banished, were you met me, you and I became the best of friends… that being said our relationship is not for the weak of heart. Along with your banishment you were also forbidden to hurt anyone again in this land" she said with a smile "We grew close and the Dark One also Known as Rumplestilskin aka the Imp, continued to teach you in the dark arts, he created a curse that would allow you to seek your revenge on Snow by taking her and whoever else away to another land… sadly you waited a tad bit too long… because by then Snow and Price Charming had a baby who was claimed to be the savior and break the curse, they threw her into a box and shipped her to this land before you had a chance to kill her…"
"You still didn't tell me where my father is?"
"Regina in order to cast the dark curse you had to kill the thing you loved most" Mal said as Regina gasped
"No" she said quietly
"I'm sorry" Maleficent said sincerely she truly did feel sorry for her, but not just her but all of them really, they had 30 years of memories to catch up on all at one time
"What about me?" Neal said "That can't be all that happened to me"
"No you fell in love and got engaged to a girl named to Tamara who… turned out to be a bad guy, she was in love with another guy and they kidnapped my mom… um Regina and tortured her and they kidnapped me and took me to Neverland, where Rumplestilskin, Regina, Hook, Emma, Snow and David came to rescue me… together… you all put your differences aside and your hate for one another and saved me and then we came back here" he said with a smile
"So you're telling me were all friends… after all the stuff you just told us?" Neal asked
"Well it's a working progress but yeah" Tiana said with a smile
"I find it hard to forgive and be friends with the woman who murdered my father" Snow said her voice dripping with disgust
"Yeah well she found time to forgive you after you killed Cora" Maleficent said deadpanned as Snow looked at her shocked
"It's a long story please don't let me or him have to repeat it" she said as the other adults in the room rolled their eyes "Look clearly you are all at different stages in your life, Gina you dabbled in dark magic but not fully… you really did it to bring back Daniel but magic doesn't do that so in you r fit of rage you targeted Snow who was the reason he was killed, the green moth is still waiting for a baby laugh so she can be born, Shepherd King, you have yet to find out your true identity, The wolf just ate her boyfriend, The savior just had the baby, Snow you just lost your father, Belle you being held prisoner by Rumplestilskin, The Imp is still underneath his rock and Robin Hood is still going through puberty… did I miss anyone?" Mal asked sarcastically
"Yeah me" Killian said
"Oh, well you're still riding around on a boat full of men dressed in more than need be… you fill in the blanks"
"Well what about them" Killian said ignoring Mal's last statement and gesturing to Ruby and Robin "What of their story?"
"Well Ruby your best friends with Snow and that's basically it other than the incident that happened between you and um… Peter" Henry said
"You know about that?" Ruby asked
"Yeah… Snow helped you out during your wolfs time and when you met you mom"
"I met my mom?"
"Yeah, but she turned out to be a bad guy because she tried to kill Snow but you saved her and you guys have been friends ever since"
"Robin, you and your band of merry men stole from the rich and gave to the poor. The story book doesn't say much about you except that Marian your wife died a few months after your son Roland was born…"
"That's me papa!" Roland exclaimed as he jumped in the young man's arms
"My wife… was Marian… she died?" he asked quietly
"She's with the angels, papa" Roland said looking at Robin
"What of my friends?" he asked
"There in the woods!" Roland exclaimed
"But they are here as well? Can I see them?"
"Not tonight but in the morning yes" Elsa said "I know this is a lot to take in but listen to me, although you have heard a lot of bad there is some good in there and everything that happened has made you all better people because of it… so that being said I think it will be wise if you all stay here. I, Pocahontas and Jefferson will stay here as well to keep an eye on things"
"Well where are we going to sleep?" Belle asked
Blue waved her wand over the living room transforming it into a room with a sleeping bags and pajama's on each one, and a giant T.V on the wall
"I am not sleeping on the floor" Snow said as the others all sighed irritated
A very long and trying hour later
Everyone stood in the living room after having argued and fought over where to sleep and next to who… because right now Neal was the only one who looked familiar to her, Emma decided to sleep next to Neal, who was more than happy to oblige.
Roland demanded for Regina and Robin to lie together so he could be between the two of them and after threating to pass out from holding his breath both Regina and Robin agreed. Ruby, Snow and Tinkerbell and Belle decided to lie together, while Hook, Charming and Rumplestilskin chose three separate corners to occupy.
Henry and Paige picked a movie… strangely enough it was Harry Potter until Emma nipped that in the bud and chose World War Z.
"What. The. Hell. Is. This.?" Maleficent said as she walked into the living the room looking at the T.V. screen
"It's a zombie movie" Henry said as Naveen walked in with a bowl of popcorn sitting it down in front of the group
"Well it's disgusting" Snow said as she stood where she sat and walked over to Regina with a brush, handing it to her and sitting down.
Emma frowned as she watched Regina sigh and sweep Snow's long hair off her shoulders so she could brush it. It was such a normal routine for them to do that Regina didn't even notice how Snow didn't even ask for her to do it anymore she just expected it to be done
Before Maleficent and Emma to say anything Paige jumped up and ran over to them "Can I do it please, it will be like having a real life Barbie doll"
Snow looked at the girl and then shrugged "What's a Barbie doll?" she asked as she positioned herself in front of Paige
"A plastic toy with hair on it that looks like a girl" Henry said as he stuffed popcorn in his mouth "They spend all day brushing it and collecting them" he said with a grin when Paige stopped mid-stride and glared at Henry
"First of all Henry… we don't spend all our time brushing their hair and besides how is collecting dolls different from collecting those silly dolls you play with"
"Dude you play with dolls?" Neal asked Henry who dropped his handful of popcorn back into the bowl
"They're not dolls their action figures! And just a few hours ago they were alive!" henry challenged "I didn't see any of your Barbie's out there"
"Your action figures came to life?" Neal asked as Paige and Henry ignored him
"Xena, Wonder Woman…"
"Okay okay okay" Maleficent said as she stopped the argument "Plastic people are considered as dolls, action or not their dolls, end of discussion"
Paige and smiled as she continued to brush Snow's hair and Henry glared at Maleficent as she watched with discuss at the T.V.
"Don't listen to them kid, action figures are not dolls, they just jealous cause they move and Barbie doesn't" Emma whispered as she roughly petted Henry's head pulling him down to lay with her and watch T.V.
Henry watched as Emma watched intensely at the screen just as the main character watches a man bit by a zombie change, Emma reached over to grab some more popcorn not taking her eyes off the movie
"Do you remember who I am?" he whispered with a hopeful glint in his eyes
Emma paused and looked Henry in the eye "I don't know…"
Henry's eyes fell and he laid back down looking at the screen
"But I feel very protective of you…" she whispered in his ear as she leaned closer to him "And if you really are my kid then… I couldn't be happier" she said as she kissed his cheek
Henry beamed at that and snuggled closer to Emma who shook her head and smiled
Regina looked at the pair sadly and then a pang of jealousy surged through her "I thought he was my son" she said frowning
"He is" Mal said deadpanned "Want me to kill her?" she asked with a smile
Regina looked at Mal with fear in her eyes "If… I asked… you would do that?"
Maleficent… not catching on to what Regina was insinuating, looked at her with a proud smile "If you wish it"
Regina shook her head sadly as she stood up and ran out of the room and upstairs to one of the bedrooms.
Snow started to get up when Mal stopped her… Maleficent and Elsa ran after her
"Your Majesty" Elsa said as she knocked on the door that had soft cries coming from
"Please…just go away" Regina answered quietly
Maleficent waved her hand over the door and opened it; Regina was curled up on her bed with knees to her chest crying softly
"Gina…" Mal started
"Get out" she cried softly
"Gina listen…"
"How did I turn out this way, Rumplestilskin said I wouldn't become like her and I have" she said as she wiped her eyes as more tears fell
"Rumplestilskin preyed on your love for Daniel like he does so many who would do anything for the person they love… but…" Mal said when Regina abruptly stood and stood in her face
"You offered to kill my son's birth mother… How... Could… I…" Regina as she swayed and slurred her words
"Regina" Elsa said as she approached the Queen as she fell forward in her arms
"MOM!" Henry yelled from down stairs
Elsa and Maleficent ran down stairs with Regina floating behind them, they made it into the living room just to see everyone slumped over and glowing green.
A second later everyone stirred and sat up
"What the hell was that?" Emma asked
"I don't know but whatever it was, I hope it doesn't happen again" Regina said
"Regina" Elsa said as she tuned to face the Queen "Do you know who I am? Who any of us are?"
"Well unless you changed in the past hour she's Maleficent and your Elsa… How the hell did we get here?" Regina asked looking around her and then at herself
"Well you guys have been going in and out since we left the diner"
"Papa?" Roland asked looking at Robin
"Yes, my boy" he said as he opened his arms
"Papa you forgot me" Roland said with a pout
"Never" Robin responded with a grin as he brought his son in for a hug
"So, are we back to normal now?" Neal asked
"No, were still young… I just think that the spell isn't strong enough to keep up the way we are… so it's breaking so to speak" Regina said as she stood
"So we won't be like this for long?" Robin asked
"No, probably a few days at the most but we're going to be going in and out between the past and the present" she said as folded her arms
"Great" Emma said as she sighed heavily
"Well what do we do?" Tiana asked
"There's nothing we can do except wait for it to run its course"
"So you're saying…" Charming began
"To get some rest because it's going to be a long day tomorrow"
Elsa, Anna, Mal, and Jefferson all volunteered to spend the night as everyone else went home
Next Morning
Regina woke up to the smell of breakfast being made, she slowly sat up glancing at the faces around her, everything was hazy from the previous night she remembered everything up until she ran upstairs. She walked into the kitchen to find Granny, Anna, Elsa, Jefferson, Roland, Henry and Paige all sitting at the Island while Granny stood by the stove
"What's going on?" she asked as all eye fell on her
"Good morning mom" Henry said with a smile, Regina returned it as Roland smiled deeply and gave her a morning greeting as well
"You're majesty" Elsa began "We we're just discussing what everyone was going to be doing today"
Regina folded her arms across her chest and looked at the people around her speaking as regally as possible "Which is?"
"Well Paige, Roland and I are going to school with Snow" Henry stated proudly
"Yes and you and I along with a few other members will be going to a meeting" Elsa said
"You're separating Snow and me?"
"Well yes… but only because we don't have anyone to cover her class… no one that is qualified"
"Look…" Regina said as she stepped closer into the kitchen "I know that in this land or whatever alternate land or magic this is… that I hate Snow and parts of me do… I will admit that, but she is my responsibility, and I don't know any of you so…"
"I know that you don't know any of us but try and look deep into yourself…" Elsa said "Do you find any of us a threat here"
"No" she answered honesty
"Okay well that's a start; do you trust any of us enough to be with Snow while we are at the meeting?"
Regina looked around the kitchen her eyes landing on them all it wasn't until another figure came into the kitchen that she had her answer "I want Maleficent to go" she said
Mal frowned "Go where"
"Really?" Elsa and Tiana both said "Out of everyone here, you chose her"
"Someone sounds jealous" Mal said smiling "Where am I going"
"To an elementary school to teach kids all day with Snow" Granny said as Maleficent's smile fell
"Gina, No!" she said looking at Regina who smiled at her
"For some reason I trust you, I don't know why, but out of everyone here I feel the most comfortable around you, and that says something" Regina said looking at the frowning blonde
"Then let me stay with you then" Mal said as the others laughed at her whining like a child
"I can I trust you with Snow, I know if something were to happen you would protect her"
"I think you have the wrong friend" Mal said deadpanned "I hate that flake of Snow just as much as you do, she's infuriating and stuck up and…"
"A royal just like you and I and she behaves accordingly" Regina said raising an eyebrow at Maleficent "Maleficent please, believe me for some reason I am still at that stage where I am very protective of Snow, although you al say I hate her and I would go if I could but I can't"
"Come on it's only for an hour or so" Tiana said as the others walked into the kitchen as well
"Fine" Maleficent said glaring at Snow who walked into the kitchen frowning back at the woman
After serving breakfast they all got dressed and was told where they were to be placed.
Regina was to go with Elsa, and Tiana for a meeting. Ruby was going with Granny; Charming, Neal, Emma, and Jefferson are going to the station, where some of the merry men will meet them. Robin, Belle, Snow, Rumplestilskin and Hook were all going with Anna, Maleficent and few other people who were called to the school.
Snow complained just like always and Maleficent let her know just how unhappy she was also with the arrangement.
After convincing Snow and Maleficent to behave and that it was only an hour or two they were to be together, everyone left for their prospected places.
School
Robin and Hook where placed in the Gym with Little Jon and Pete. Little Jon's facial expression upon seeing Robin was priceless. They stood around for at least 30 minutes discussing the situation Robin had found himself in and how much fun things are going to be now that there leader was young and reckless again. Rumple was placed in the art center, Belle was in the library with Mr. Dewey and Snow and Maleficent had the pre-k class which happened to be Roland's.
As snow and Maleficent walked into the classroom, they were met with 20 smiling toddlers.
"Good Morning, Mary Margret" the children all said in unison
Mal glared around the room "I hate children" she said as Anna giggled
"Why"
"Because they're tiny and cute" she said looking around the room at all the different types of children "They make you soft by smiling at you and then next thing you know, you have created one"
Anna laughed at Mal as Snow walked toward the children "You don't want children"
"No"
"Why"
"Because they're liars" Mal said as she curled her lip at a dark haired little girl who smiled and waved at her. The little girl looked to be Indian with her smooth sun tanned skin, her hair looked black as it fell thick and curly around her small face, and her eyes were something out of the Enchanted, they were such a clear ocean blue color it looked as if you stared long enough you would just drown.
"What, how did you come to that conclusion?" Anna asked chuckling and folding her arms
"Because you think they'll stay like that forever but then when you're not looking they grow up and lock you in basements for 30 years"
Anna frowned "Your talking about Regina" she said more than asked "You knew her when she was this little?"
"Hell no" Mal said smiling at the same little girl who was sticking her tongue out at her "I knew her 3 years after she married Leopold"
"That's amazing how did you two meet?"
"I don't like you" Maleficent said leaning toward the girl who smiled even harder at her
"That's mean, don't say that to her" Anna scolded
"I was talking to you" Mal said as picked the child up and walked over to Snow who was talking to the class. The little girl had on a dark purple dress with flowers on it, a small jean jacket and little silver flats.
Snow smiled "Who is Mary Margret?" she asked as a little girl raised her hand
"You are silly, that's you name" she said as the class started to giggle
Snow felt as place here she didn't know but she knew that when she spoke to them she had to be calm and nice
"It is?" she asked with a smile "Well I want to be call Snow today, okay"
The children nodded and smiled
"So what do you guys want to do?"
"Play"
"Color"
"Play dress up"
The kids all yelled at the same time
"Well why don't we play, color and play dress all at the same time" Snow said and the children screamed excitedly as they jumped up to grab whatever they could get their hands on
Snow smiled as a few girls came up to her with princess gowns and combs so they could brush her hair
The young girl in Maleficent's arms wiggled to be put down and Mal placed her back on the floor
"So what do you want to do? We can color or play OR…" the girl shouted her hazel eyes sparkling with excitement "We could play dress up"
Maleficent studied the girl for a long time and then bent down looking her straight in the eyes "You remind me of someone" she said with a glare
"I do" the girl said smiling and swaying side to side "Who"
"Can you play dress up with me" she asked looking up at Mal who glared at her
"I don't know, will you listen to me and do any and everything I say?"
The girl looked up and smiled at her nodding "Fine, I shall call you… Augustine" she said as green smoke surrounded the little girl's arm and a bracelet with her new name on it appeared
The girl gasped surprised at the magic and then took off toward the dresses
The Gym
The gym was the perfect place to put a sailor and a professional thief, both needed to be physically fit, able to run for miles or carry heavy loads with tiring easily, and talk there ways out of difficult situations which they did with ease.
The gym looks to be the size of an Olympian gymnasium, it had 3 ropes hanging off the ceiling to the right of the back, a pummel horse, ring, floor exercise mat, horizontal bar, balance beam and then there was the volley ball court that was in the back along with basketball hoops, soccer balls and jump ropes
Robin and Hook looked in awe at everything
"This must be some sort of training ground" Little Jon said as he looked on with the boys
"This place is amazing" Robin said as he ran over to the rings and jumped on them pulling himself up "Come on little Jon!" Robin shouted
"Um... Robin, are you forgetting I am now twice your current age and way over the weight limit for that… thing" Little Jon said with a frown
"Nonsense!" Robin said as he jumped off the rings and ran over to the balance beam "What the hell is this?" he asked
"It looks to be something you use to practice walking around on castle walls" Hook said jumping on it and walking along the beam. Although he griped and groaned about his hook he used it as if he had had it all his life, Killian trusted his metal hook and he used it with ease "Maybe it's to help…" hook began when a voice rang out from behind them
"Okay boys, my name is Selina Kyle" a tall short haired brunette, with white basketball shorts and a black white beater on and I am the school's gym teacher"
Robin, Hook and Little Jon's jaw dropped at the bombshell standing before them, she was lean and curvy all in the right places. She popped her hip to one side looking at her clip board
"My class will be here soon, help me with them… you know get them to participate and I will reward you guys handsomely" Selina said smiling as all three nodded their heads
Seconds later the heavy falls of tennis shoes and loud commotion filled the gym
"Okay guys" Selina said walking to the center of the gym… well not walked but more like swayed her hips to imaginary music, the way her hips seemed to mesmerize Hook, Robin and Little Jon
"Okay so guys know the drill, pick a spot and exercise" she said as the group sighed and groaned unmotivated
"Come on Ms. Kyle this shit is dumb, nobody wants to do gym!" a girl shouted out and the others chimed in agreeing
"What if I make a game out of it?" Selina tried but the kids rolled their eyes and scuffed at the suggestion
"May I?" Robin said stepping forward
"Sure" Selina said as she looked at the group "Guys these are my new assistants Robin Hood and Killian Jones"
"You mean like the Robin Hood" A blonde haired girl exclaimed
"You've heard of me?"
"Yes, you stole money from King George and gave it to my village when I was like 6…. I'll never forget it"
Robin almost smiled at the comment when another voice rang out "Aren't you supposed to be like… older" a short girl with green streaked hair said
"Well I…."
"And isn't Killian jones a pirate? Why is he here on land?" another girl asked "What you get arrested or something and this is like community service?"
"No I…"
"Yo, this dude got some tight ass pants on" a tall African American boy said he had on black shorts with a shirt on that read 'you mad or naw'
Robin and Selina looked down at Killian's pants, which Maleficent had shrunken down to fit the now adolescent pirate. The black leather pants were so tight that they had risen up his ankles.
Robin chuckled as the other teens hurled with laughter, even Selina tried to contain hers.
"Yeah well I bet me and my tight pants can beat you and any obstacle in here" he said as the boy frowned
"Yeah right, I'll wipe your ass all over this damn gym"
Selina's eyes lit up at the opportunity and before either boy could say anything else she spoke up "Okay, I say we have a challenge"
The kids cheered excitedly
"Two teams, 20 kids a team, Killian and Jeremy are the captains…. Make your way around the gym, send 2 or three people to each piece of equipment and make your way back to this very spot, you two, being the captains will go last and you will carry your team to victory, Now all you need to do is choose and whoever wins gets bragging right" Selina said as the two teens turned to the group and smiled
"I want Robin" Hook said as the archer smiled and ran over
"Dude, you're going to lose, you only have one hand and a metal hook"
"Yeah, but I am a pirate and this…" he said gesturing to the gym "Is my Jolly Roger"
The Library
Belle stood staring at the endless rows of books, and smiled. Mr. Dewey also known to the little kids as the Pagemaster, because he had memorized every story and newspaper in the library, said that today was the day that the older kids came down for their free period
Belle was excited about the kids her age that loved books just as much as she did. Back in the Enchanted Forest, she was scolded for always having her nose in a book, and not in her studies to be a princess or future ruler; she wanted to go on epic adventures like the heroines in the books she read.
The sounds of footfalls in the hallways and the sounds of voices had Belle grinning as wide as possible as the teens filed in.
Diner
"Granny do I really have to work here? Why can't I go with Snow, or David? I'll even go with Regina" Ruby whined as Granny opened the door to the diner and switched the lights
"Because I need your help" Granny said sighing as she switched the sign around "And other than the obvious reason that this happens to be your job" Granny said sarcastically
Ruby sighed rolling her eyes as she sat at the bar, watching Granny walk around it to the kitchen to turn on the stoves. After a beat she came back out and watched a mopping Ruby as she drew circles on the bar top
"Look if things go good today, tomorrow I'll let you guys hang out at here or at the school, but can you just try to make today work" she asked and Ruby nodded
Although it was a long long time ago Granny does remember what it was like to be a teen, wanting to always be with your friends afraid you were missing something epic. It's why when she was of age to work; she and her friends choose a job they could do together. She remembers when Ruby was a teenager, always getting into things and not listening, the first to come up with some crazy idea that others were stupid enough to go through with. That's the main reason why she didn't let her go with any of the others because one, they had enough to deal with as it was then to have to put up with the shenanigans of her granddaughter and two, because at this age Ruby wolf started to reveal its self, and she needed to be watched like a hawk.
"Here" Granny said as she tossed Ruby a her apron from underneath the bar along with a rag "White the table down and make sure all the ketchup and salt and pepper shakers are filled, customers should be coming in about 1hr"
Ruby rolled her eyes but did what she was told
Meeting
Regina walked quietly beside Tiana and Naveen as they walked into her office "Okay, I know you don't remember much but I'm going to need your help, King George and Lady Tremaine, are going to try and undermine everything I do and make the council turn against you so I need you to listen very carefully and follow along okay?" Tiana said rummaging through Regina's desk and then stopping to look at the young girl
"Okay" Regina said timidly
Tiana looked at Naveen who then turned to Regina "What's wrong?"
"This place is very confusing and I'm worried about Snow, King Leopold put me in charge of her and if he finds out that I disobeyed him he will be very cross with me" she said quietly not looking at the man
"Regina, nothing is going to happen to Snow, I promise, she had to go to the school there was no one else that could cover for her not only that but you sent Maleficent with her, I know she'll be alright"
"Yeah and this meeting should only take a few minutes, were just going over the things we were supposed to go over in the last meeting and then after we finish you can go be with Snow" Tiana said
Regina sighed heavily and then nodded "What am I supposed to do" she asked as her face showed that of royalty
Tiana smiled at Regina "I need to find your meeting notes, um… there in a folder with little colorful tabs on it"
Regina walked over to the desk that she assumed was hers and stared at the items on it. There were pictures of her and Henry, pens, a few papers and a medium size silver box. Regina looked at the box and then picked it up. She opened it up ran her thumbs along the rim of it, she didn't know why but holding it brought her so much sadness. She quickly put the box down and glanced toward the floor, where the strap of a bag was sticking out of a drawer, she bent down and opened the drawer freeing the strap and pulling the bag out of the drawer and placing on top the desk.
"I think I found it" she said pulling out a thick manila folder
Tiana walked over to her grabbing the folder and flipping through it "Yes this is it, thank you, come on" she said smiling as she grabbed the young girl's arm "You're always early no reason not to be now" she said as she walked toward the door as Naveen pulled it open
As they walked into the room Tiana showed Regina where she sat which was at the head of the table and then she sat to her right.
"No, you stand and greet everyone as they come in"
"Oh" Regina said smiling
"Um…" Tiana said "Not like that, you're usually scowling when you greet us"
Regina frowned "Why"
Tiana looked at Naveen and then back at Regina "I don't know, it's just what you do and since I'm sure George found out about the spell, he will do everything in his power to throw you off and make you look weak, luckily Elsa, Pocahontas, Ralph and I will make that won't happen"
"Okay" Regina said as the door opened and a woman with long pale blonde hair walked in
"Good Morning Regina" Elsa said
Regina scowled as she clasped her hands in front of her "Good morning" sounding like her old self Elsa smiled
"Close your majesty, but next time put your hands on your hips and then scowl" she said winking at Regina who smiled
Next person that walked in was Jasmine and Pocahontas who had tiger, a humming bird and a raccoon at their sides "Good Morning, your Majesty" both women said at the same time
Regina placed her hands on her hips and scowled "Morning"
The two women smiled and giggle
"Almost" Jasmine said "Try again, next time sound a little more irritated"
Regina frowned again but nodded
The next persons to come into the room was Yzma, Cruella, Mr. Skinner and Ralph in that order
Regina inhaled a tired breath hoping she got it right this time. If she couldn't pull off a simple greeting then this meeting was going to take longer then she'd like. She hated her training with her mother and she hated sitting for long periods of time, and to be honest she was really worried about being away from Snow. Not because she wanted to be in her presence because if she was being really honest she hated being left with her, the girl was truly annoying and she acted entitled, even for a Princess. But she didn't want Leopold to find out she left his precious daughter in the hands of strangers.
"Good Morning Darling" Cruella said as she sat
"Regina" Yzma said with a nod
"Hello and good morning Regina!" Ralph said with a smile as he walked over to her
"Good Morning" Regina said curtly
Ralph stopped as his smile fell "Have I upset you?" he asked
Regina face fell "Well… no but Princess Tiana said I need to greet everyone… mean"
Ralph smiled at that "Oh… well you did a great job, I believed you" he said as he approached her
"Well that makes one of us, but if you plan on tricking Tremaine and George I suggest you drop the good and stick with the morning part, darling" Cruella said as she put her skunk purse on the table and rifled through it
Regina's shoulders dropped and she let out a breath, Ralph walked over to her grinning hard. Regina gasped as the giant towered over her, he bent down and wrapped his strong arms around her "Don't worry you'll get it" he whispered as Regina smiled up at him
As he pulled away Pocahontas spoke "What no raccoon purse today?" she asked surly as the older woman smiled while pulling out a cigarette
"No darling, no point, when your flea infested friend is sitting in lap, maybe next time, what do you think Mr. Skinner" Cruella asked without acknowledging the man but staring at Pocahontas
Raja growled next to Queen Jasmine "Goo boy Raja" she whispered at the tiger settled down
Elsa reached over the table and pulled the cigarette out of Cruella's mouth "No smoking"
George and Tremaine walked in glaring at Regina
"Seems like we held that vote a little early, it would have been nice to have the town see your incompetence as a leader for their own eyes… the monster they elected to ensure their safety" George said as he and Lady Tremaine sat down
Regina scuffed folding her arms in front of her and placing her most regal mask on "First of all the town did see me, and if we were going to discuss incompetency it would most certainly revolve around you and failure to care for your kingdom when we were home in the Enchanted forest…" she said with a chuckle as everyone looked at her, Tiana, Naveen, and almost everyone aside form Tremaine and George smiling proudly "No wonder they would reelect a monster… than to have you run this town"
"Excellent Darling" Cruella said "Even I forgot you are only the tender age of 18" she said with a smile
Regina rolled her eyes "Can we get started" she said as she sat down
Tiana stood "I'll read the minutes and then we will quickly discuss the new budget for the school since we will be needed more teachers and more classrooms…" she began as the doors swung open
Sidney walked in looking around the room until his eyes fell on Regina, who frowned and looked at him
"Excuse me, Sidney but this meeting is…"
"Oh my god, I didn't believe them but here you are… you look…"
"I'm sorry but do I know you?" Regina asked
"Yes you do Regina and he's a…."
"No let her make that decision on her own" Sidney scolded "I'm Sidney, I used to work for you…"
"Sidney we are in the middle of a meet…" Elsa said standing
"CAN YOU JUST LET ME TALK, IM NOT GOING TO HURT ANYONE! I JUST WANT TO TALK TO HER!" he yelled pointing at Regina who said nothing
"Regina, I…" he said as he walked closer to her
Regina quickly stood and glared at the man "Do I know you?" she asked with a frown
"I don't mean to frighten you, but Yes, I have known you for a long time now; we met a few months before Snow's 18th birthday"
"What do you want?" she asked an uneasy feeling washing over her
"To speak with you, privately"
"Well… I am in a meeting and… you can talk to me… when my husband comes back from his… trip" she stumbled as the man walked closer to her, her eyes widening as her heart raced fear creeping down her spine
Sidney chuckled "There were times where we would talk for hours when your husband and his annoying little girl weren't around" he said as he reached for her hands
Regina backed away from him, her fear drowning in the face of anger as he spoke. If he was saying that she stepped out on her husband then he would pay for his slander, as much as she hated the king and the fact that she was his wife, she would never step out on him. Her hands glowed as her teeth grinded together and before anyone could stop it, Regina's hand found its way to Sidney's throat causing everyone to stand from the table "If you are insinuating that I…" she growled out as he eyes started to turn black
Raja stood growling at the new threat in the room, while Niko hid under Pocahontas' chair
Sidney grabbed her hand "No…" he grunted "We were friends… you trusted me with secrets your… husband was too busy to listen too… and in return I kept you company… while he and his daughter were away" he gasped out as his face turned red
Regina's eyes faded back to brown and she released her hold on the man, she had never felt so much anger and distain for a person before, even when she pushed her mother through the portal, it had just been a taste of the anger that had just consumed her moments ago. Everyone looked between her and Sidney and she felt the need to apologize for her actions. "I'm… I'm sorry" she said as Ralph stood behind her with his hand on her shoulder
"Leave now, or I'll move you myself" the kind giant said
"Ralph" Regina said as she looked up toward where he was standing
"No, it's fine" Sidney said as he massaged his throat trying to catch his breath "It's fine… I'm leaving" he said as he straightened and sighed heavily "Later" he said as Raja growled louder at the man as he quickly made his way out of the door
"Are you expecting any more visitors or can we get started?" George asked as they all took their seats again
School
As soon as the meeting was over Regina was excitedly waiting to be brought to the school where everyone was. Elsa walked her to Snow's classroom as they approached the door, Regina stopped and smiled at the sight of Snow playing dress up and coloring with three little girls who were dressed as firefighters and doctors, Snow dressed as a ballerina.
It didn't take long for her to spot Mal who was playing with Roland and another little girl. Maleficent must have a felt her presence because she looked up and saw the brunette, smiling and gesturing for her to come over.
Regina walked over to the trio, and as soon as Roland spotted her he jumped into her arms.
"Gina!" he shouted as Regina hugged the boy back, she still wasn't sure as to the extent of her relationship with him was but she did feel a pang of excitement and love for the toddler when he was near.
"What are you doing?" Regina asked
"Were having tea" the young girl said smiling up at her
Regina gasped at the girls mesmerizing eyes and deep dimples "Who is this?" she asked as Roland spoke before the young girl could say anything
"This is my love!" he exclaimed as the girl smiled at him
"Oh" Regina said as the young girl handed he am empty cup
"Remembers pinkies up" the young girl said as she watched everyone including a smiling Roland
"Roland, what is your loves name?" Regina asked
"I'm Katherine" the girl says with a huge grin "But everyone calls me kitty"
Roland laughed and started mewing as Kitty smiled at him
"Roland is my love, he always says 'meow' when someone calls me kitty"
Regina smiled at that while Mal rolled her eyes and looked at kitty "Your name is Augustine, not kitty" she said as the girl gasped loudly
"Oh yeah, I'm Augustine" she corrected as Regina frowned, she didn't know why that worried her but it did. Since she couldn't figure out why she just ignored it and continued to have tea with them
As they day went on and on, the group finally made it to the end of the day, they were all together now as the parents came to pick up their children. Robin, Rumple, Belle and the others all gathered around in Snow's classroom and hallway as to say goodbye to everyone
As Snow waved goodbye to the another child that left, she grabbed her head
"What's wrong?" Anna asked her as she walked closer to her
"I don't know, I fell a little dizzy" Snow said as she frowned
"Well, you just spent 7 with a bunch of toddlers if you're not dizzy then you didn't do your job right" Anna said as she looked over to Maleficent who took to using her magic to create more dresses and accessories for the girls and of course Roland
"Maybe I should sit down" Snow said as the feeling got worse. Anna looked at her and then Regina when she saw that the Queen as well sat down and was grabbing her head
"Maleficent" Anna called as she kneelt down in front of Snow
"Can't you see I'm busy" Mal said as she conjured a new hairstyle for
"Snow and Regina said that they feel dizzy and…" was Anna got out before Regina, Snow and everyone that was in the hallway passed out, either on the floor or on the desks
"Gina!" Roland yelled as he ran over to her, shaking her awake
With a grunt and moan she lifted her head off the desk and looked at the bright worried eyes that seemed to get bigger as she stared back at them
"Roland" she said as she rubbed her head "What happened?"
"You fainted again" he said as she grabbed her hands "Do you remember me?" he asked her as he began to crawl into her lap
"Yes, Chief Ro Ro I remember you" she said giving him a quick squeeze as he laughed "I also remember meeting kitty" she said as Roland's smiled grew bigger
"She's over there with Mal" he said pointing to the sorceress who was too busy primping Katherine than checking to see if her friend was okay
"I'm okay, I promise" Snow said as she rose from where she was sitting with a worried looking Anna following her
"Kitty Kat!" a woman yelled into Snow's classroom. A tall African American woman dressed in blue nursing scrubs called out for her
Kitty's head jerked up at the nickname and she ran from Mal's grip as she primped her dress and toward the other woman
"MOMMY!" she yelled as she jumped into the woman's arms
"Hi baby, I missed you!" she said as she smiled down at the girl
"I missed you too mommy"
"What did you do today?"
"I played dress-up and pretend and then Mal… Mal… If... Mal… if… a… scent" kitty said as she frowned at her inability to say Maleficent's name right. "Mal did magic on me, and made me these dresses and this bracelet with my new name on it… see!" Katherine exclaimed showing her mother the bracelet on her wrist
Kitty's mother frowned but before she could say anything Maleficent walked up to her grabby Katherine from her "She's mine!" she stated firmly as Katherine's mother looked at her dumbfounded
"MALEFICENT!" Regina shouted as she grabbed the child from her friend and gave her back to her mother
"What are you doing I claimed her!" Maleficent argued
"You can't claim people's children! They're theirs, they claimed them! Have you lost your mind?!" Regina turned to the now frowning mother "I am so sorry, she's new here, she doesn't understand the rules of this land"
"What the hell is this? And who is Augustine?" the mother said jerking her daughters arm toward the Maleficent
"It means I'm her pet!" Kitty said excitedly while her mother looked like she was ready to kill both Regina and Maleficent
Regina's eyes got big as she looked at the woman "Ma'am, I know how this looks and before you get upset let me explain"
"EXPLAIN WHAT? THE FACT THAT MY DAUGHTER HAS JUST TOLD ME THAT SHE IS SOMEONE'S PET!" the woman yelled at a young Regina who filched at this. She knew a mother's wrath and anger all to well, hell she had Henry and used it on other adults plenty of times.
"I asked her, and she agreed to be mine" maleficent said calmly as if she were discussing taxes
This infuriated the mother even more as she shifted her daughter's weight to her hip "Look you bit…"she began when Snow, Elsa and Anna finally walked over to try and help
"Georgette" Snow said cutting the woman off "Listen to me let me handle this, I know this is not what you expected to hear when you got here but please, calm down"
The woman looked pass Snow glaring at the sorceress "Get this damn thing off my daughter!" she said more to Maleficent then Snow
Snow shook her head along with Regina who turned to Maleficent "Mal get this damn thing off her, I told you I will find you a pet" Regina said
"Well I don't need you to don't that anymore I have already found one!" she said smiling at Kitty who smiled back
"You can't…" Snow began when Maleficent waved her hand and the princess's mouth shut "Shu up, I don't like you" she said as Regina sighed irritated removing the spell and pushing Snow away from the agitated sorceress
"Mal look, what you have done is illegal in this land, she is a child and royal, sorceress or not, you will be arrested and taken to jail"
"They can try" she said making her hands glow and then poofing Kitty to her hip as her mother lunged at the woman to get her child back. Robin and Hook grabbed her as she pleaded for her daughter's release
Ralph who was talking with Elsa in the hallway ran into the classroom upon screaming and yelling, he and Elsa both
"What is going on here?" Elsa asked as the mother just got of the thief and pirate's hold, thinking quickly Ralph blocked her and picked her up as Elsa and Ralph took to the opposite side of the classroom to try and calm the mother down.
Georgette began to cry as she pointed to her daughter and sorceress
"Mal… I don't want to play this game anymore, my mommy doesn't like it" Kitty said sadly as she watched her mother try to get away from the two teens
"I don't care you said you would be mine and you would listen to everything I said" Mal said looking at the girl
"Yeah but mommy is crying" Katherine said looking down "And I don't like it when she cries" she said now looking at her mother.
"Maleficent please, take the bracelet off of her" Regina said as Georgette seemed to have calmed down
Maleficent looked at the girl who was staring back at her "You want to go with her?" she asked Kitty nodded sadly still not meeting Maleficent's eyes "But she can't do magic for you, get you nice things, and dresses for you" she pointed out at the girl finally looked up at her
"I know but she's my mommy… and I love her" she said as Maleficent glared at the child who smiled "If you let me go with my mommy and promise to come back, I'll play pretend with you tomorrow"
Maleficent scuffed and rolled her eyes "I'm not coming back" she said placing the girl on the floor and folding her arms
"KITTY KAT COME HERE!" Georgette called out
"Okay" Katherine said as she looked up at Mal who was still pouting
"Mal… if… a… scent" Kitty said looking up at the woman and tugging on her dress
Maleficent ignored the girl as she snatched her dress from her grasp, Kitty laughed and tried again "Mal… if… a… scent"
Mal finally gave in and looked down to see those big eyes and deep dimples looking up at her "What little peasant baby"
"Come here" she said pulling on Mal's dress, Maleficent groaned but kneelt down so she was on her knees in front of the child
"What" she said deadpanned
Kitty giggled and grabbed Mal's face kissing her on the cheek "Today was the best day ever!" she exclaimed as she looked down at her dress and bracelet before slipping the bracelet off her tiny wrist and giving back to her "Let's play again tomorrow" she said as she began walking over to her mother who picked her up and took her out the classroom with the child still waving goodbye
"I can't not believe you did that" Regina said crossing her arms
"What? You were busy and I wanted a pet now" Maleficent said standing as she grabbed her cheek where the phantom kiss still lay
"Well it's a good thing Snow and Elsa calmed Georgette down or you would have been arrested
"Whatever, can we go" Mal said walking out of the classroom
Mayoral Mansion
After coming back from their places and Ruby greeting them all excitedly they began to relax take showers and baths and fill each other in on the things that took place when they were apart. After explaining to Ruby that a party was supposed to go down tonight when the adults leave to discuss what to do about the spell… Ruby worked on getting granny to go to the B&B and get her a few items she didn't need from her room
It was just 4 hours before the party was to go down and before Granny and the rest of the adults that were deemed to watch them, were to have another emergency meeting to figure out what to do with the newly made teenagers. Henry, Paige, Neal and Emma all showed whoever was interested how to work the T.V., video games, and radio. Robin eventually decided he'll try and play while the others watched. Everyone was in their night clothes ranging in different colors but all the same long cotton pants and a button up top, of course Maleficent turned Regina's into silk making Snow pout because she wanted silk as well but after a stern no and a few threats from Mal she decided to keep her cotton white pajama's and shut the hell up
Hook stared at his hand with frown as he examined it over and over again as if the metal hook was the reason why fingers where no longer there. "How could I have lost my hand?" he asked with a sigh as he watched David play video games with Emma, Neal and Henry
"They told you Rumplestilskin cut if off" Robin said never taking his eyes off the screen
"Yeah well I don't believe them, look at this kid, he's about as green as they come, he doesn't look like he has the stomach for hand to hand combat let alone cutting of the hand of one of the best pirates known to sail the seven seas" Hook said glancing at Rumple who just rolled his eyes
"Well someone thinks highly of themselves, although I'm inclining to agree with you" Snow chimed in
"Any other theories?" Hook asked
"Well you are a pirate maybe a shark ate it" Emma said as she rapidly pressed buttons on her controller not taking her eyes off the screen.
"Well maybe…" Ruby said as she walked in from the kitchen holding a plate of backed chicken, mash potatoes and gravy, sweet peas, a saucer with a piece of double chocolate cake on it and a large glass of ice cold tea. She sat on the floor in front of Hook and quickly sipped her tea before continuing
"Maybe you were ship wrecked on a dessert island and the only food you had was your own flesh…" Ruby said as she took her backed chicken leg from her plate on the floor and held it her hand. The others pause the game to look at the girl as she told the story with such conviction it was as if she was there. "… And in a fit of starvation you ripped the skin from each finger…" she said taking the chicken leg thin crunchy skin between her teeth and yanking it hard causing the skin to make a sickening ripping sound she then sucked the hanging piece into her mouth with an overly loud sucking sound as she chewed it.
The group grimaced at her and Prince Naveen seemed to turn a pea green
"Then as you finally made it to the meat of your fingers you…" Ruby said as she opened her mouth, Emma, Neal, David and Henry so into it they follow the actions with their own mouths. And Ruby chomps down on the chicken ripping the meat from the bone as she smiled
Regina scuffed and threw the nearest pillow at her "Don't be vulgar!" she said as Ruby laughed dodging the pillow. Paige had insisted that Regina let her brush her long hair, Regina was going to object at first but for some reason she had a soft spot for children and couldn't seem to say no to them, which would explain the toddler that was currently occupying her lap as he played some small electronic game, that had a young boy being followed by a baby leopard.
"What it's possible" Ruby said as she scooped up some peas and mash potatoes onto her spoon and then shoved it into her mouth
Emma shook her head and un-paused the game
"Maybe someone just cut it off" Regina said shifting her eyes at Rumple as she adjusted Roland in her lap
"Yeah but why" Snow said as she leaned against Belle who was brushing her hair, ignoring her stepmother insinuation
"Maybe you owed them money" Belle said as she ran the brush though Snow's long black hair
"Maybe you were stealing and got caught…" Robin said glancing at Regina who smiled he gasped watching the screen as his character almost missed the big jump
"Oh you almost died" Henry exclaimed as he rapidly pressed the buttons on his controller
"Maybe you got caught stealing money of jewelry and your punishment was the loss of your hand" Tink said
"Look if I steal, I'm not getting caught" he said with a heavy sigh
Robin pauses the game again causing Emma, Neal and Henry to groan in protest "Look if it's bothering you that much then why don't we, do something about it"
"Like what?" Emma said "Go find a hand and sew it back on"
Ruby gasped dropping her spoon and looked at the group excitedly
"No, No, No" Hook said
"Oh come on think about it, you'd have your hand back"
"Ew" Paige chimed in
"Cool, you'd be like the Frankenstein monster!" Henry yelled excitedly
Hook frowned at the boy and then looked at Ruby pointing his hook at her
"Here are the two reasons I say no, to this stupid idea, one, and what are we going to do with Naveen, Maleficent, and Granny"
"Easy Maleficent doesn't seem to care what we do" Ruby said as the Mal smiled and nodded flipping the page of her magazine
"And Naveen will be easy to distract, and you can leave granny to me"
"And the second?" Ruby said eyeing the pirate
"Oh I don't know maybe because IT'S NOT MY HAND STUPID!" Killian said throwing an empty can at Ruby hitting her in the forehead
"Oh come on, you're the one sitting here pouting at the damn thing so either you want to do something about it or you can just sit there and mope" she said throwing the can back at him
He easily blocked the shot and sat staring at the metal on his wrist and then shaking his head he sighed "I know I'm going to regret listening to you but okay I'm in" he said
"What" Belle exclaimed "You're actually going to do this?"
Killian just shook his head with a light chuckle that said clearly showed his reservations on the idea but was too excited about the prospect of one sneaking out and two having his hand back that he just went along with it.
"Idiots" Snow said aloud
"Alright what do we do about Naveen?"
"I got it" Emma said lying on the floor on her back and then she curled into the fetal position grabbing her stomach
Neal smiled he knew this trick all too well
"When I start play along" she said to the others who looked confused
"When will we know you started?" Belle asked looking at Emma strangely
"Oh you'll know" Neal said covering his ears
Just as he said that Emma unleashed an ear piercing scream and began rolling around on the ground holding her stomach
Roland Jumped in Regina's lap and curled into her covering his ears while Paige ducked behind Regina's back covering hers
Naveen came running into room looking to see where the screaming was coming from when he spotted Emma rolling around
"WHAT IS IT? WHO IS IT? WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU DOING SNYTHING?" he yelled the last part at maleficent who casually flipped another page in her magazine
"Because I'm busy" she said deadpanned
Naveen glared at the woman before kneeling down not touching Emma but hovering his hand s above her at a lost, at what he supposed to do
"What's wrong Princess? What is it?" he said as he gently laid his hand on her shoulder
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Emma screamed
Naveen backed up as if a gust of wind had blown him over "What do I do? What do I do?" he yelled looking around the room fear on every feature of his face, Emma almost felt bad… Almost
"Oh no, it's her period!" Neal shouted "It's the cramps!"
"HER WHAT!" Naveen shouted
"You know when a woman bleeds, she feels pain… you know down there" Neal said gesturing to his privates as Naveen's eyes widened in fear
"Okay I need to call Granny or the Hospital" he said grabbing the phone
"No!" Henry shouted now catching on "She just needs hot water and chocolate!"
"Okay!" Naveen shouted jumping to his feet and running out the room, not knowing where the hell he could get the chocolate from but he knew hot water could be made in the kitchen
As Naveen left the room Emma stopped screaming and quickly sat up "Come on, let's go before he comes back" Emma said as everyone stood and raced toward the door
"What about them?" Regina asked as Paige, Henry and Roland who has latched himself to Regina's leg looked at them
"Leave them, come one"
"But…" Regina said as she looked down at Roland "But…"
"Look either your coming or you can stay and watch the twerps"
"Hey I'm not a twerp!" Henry called out "And besides either you take me with you or I'll tell Granny your leaving and going to go steal body parts!" Henry yelled
"Alright, you little shit, just keep your voice down" Emma growled as she looked toward the hallway where Naveen had run off
"What about us" Paige said holding Roland's hand
"No way, you guys have to stay here" Ruby said
"What… but I want to go with Gina" Roland whined
"And I don't want to be left here" Paige said
Rapid footsteps where heard in the hallway Emma groaned "Ugh, fine come on but I swear if anything happens and you get snatched, I'm not looking for anyone, you're going to be S.O.L got it!" she said as she glared at Henry and Paige
"Whatever" Henry challenged as he quickly ran toward the window
"Hey genius, the exit is this way"
"Yeah, if you want to get caught, this is our best chance to get away without being seen… stupid" he said as he pushed the window up and threw his leg out of it.
"He's got a point Emma" Neal said as he followed the boy
"Shut up" Emma scolded as she rolled her eyes and followed the group out
"What's S.O.L" Tink asked Ruby as she threw her leg over the windowsill
"Shit out of Luck" Ruby chimed grinning at the fairy
As they made it outside they made a mad dash for the next house on the block but when they heard Granny Tiana and Naveen call for them, they ran as faster and further. They didn't stop until they came to at least three blocks away from Regina's house.
Gasping and breathing hard they all looked around them to see if they had been followed
"Okay… I think… the coast is clear" Hook said between gasps
"I think I'm going to throw up" Snow said as she brought her hand to her chest as she bent over
"I think I already did" Tink gasped frowning "How… do you humans do it… all this running?"
Paige just smiled at the fairy coughing a little
"So how far is it to the cemetery?" David asked
"What" They all said standing straight and looking at the teen
"You said were going to get some dead man's hand and sew it on…"
"Yeah, from the hospital morgue you dumbass not the cemetery, everything there is moldy and falling apart" Emma said as everyone laughed
"Well how far is the damn hospital then" Charming asked upset and glaring at Emma
"About 10 blocks that way!" Henry said
"10 blocks?" Snow gasped "I quit, I'm going back" she said turning to leave
"What can't handle a little exercise, no chauffer to pick you up and drive your royal ass around" David said chuckle
"And so what if I am peasant, running around and getting sweating like a donkey in heat is for the likes of you, at least I didn't think we were going to go to some cemetery to dig up a dead body, just to get a hand!" she shouted back
"Okay… Okay" Ruby said getting between the two "Let's just go"
"I can't make it 10 blocks with him" Regina said as she picked Roland back up, holding him on her waist
"It's okay I got it, he's my kid right?" Robin said as he took Roland form Regina and placed the boy on his back
"What about me?" Henry said looking at Neal
"Dude, you about the same height and weight as me, hell no you're walking like the rest of us" Neal said playfully shoving Henry
"Okay guys come on!" Ruby said as she took off in the direction of the hospital
Hospital
As they made it to the hospital they all stopped against the wall panting and out of breath, Ruby looked into the glass doors and fell hard against the brick wall that was now holding them all up
"Shit" she exclaimed with her eyes closed trying to regulate her breathing and calm her racing heart
"What" Emma asked as she squatted wiping off the sweat on her forehead
"The… nurses… I forgot… about… the nurses" she said between breaths
"What's wrong with them" Tink breathed out as she slid down the wall unable to stand any longer
"No, they'll bust us" Neal said as he tried to think of a plan
"I got it" Henry said looking at Roland
He whispered something to the toddler who shook his head 'no' causing Henry to sigh hard "Come on, Roland, I promise we'll come get you"
"Come get him where?" Robin asked his inner parent coming to the surface
"Nothing" Henry said glaring at the toddler "So are you or not? If not then you can't play the game and I'm not talking to you"
Roland looked at Henry and then sadly shook his head "Promise"
Henry smiled wide shaking his head and then pushed Roland out in front of the glass doors
"What the hell are you doing?" Emma asked the boy
"Shhh" Henry said as they listened for the doors to open
Once inside Roland cautiously walked to the desk, where a blonde nurse dressed in white stood looking at a file she was filing, as she glanced away from it to the computer she spotted Roland dressed in his incredible hulk night clothes
"Oh my, what are you doing down here?" she asked with a smile as she made her way from around the desk to kneel in front of him
Roland looked to the glass double doors and saw everyone peering over the side of the brick wall and Henry gesturing for him to continue
So Roland smiled big his dimples making the nurse melt "I was coming from the morgue?" he asked as a question and he could hear Henry slapping his forehead with the palm of his hand
"That is not what I said" he growled quietly as Tink chuckled
"Were so caught" Neal said shaking his head at the scene
"That can't be, the morgue is in the basement, did you come from upstairs, the floor with the clowns and balloons on the wall?" she said reaching out to grab Roland when he shied away looking as if he were going to cry. The nurse smiled and added quickly "Because if you did they're serving ice cream you don't want to miss the ice cream do you?" she asked with a smile as Roland's eyes went big and he nodded vigorously
The nurse smiled and stood "Okay well let's see if we can get you some and tell what ever nurse is on that floor to keep a watchful eye on you" she said reaching to take his hand which Roland gladly took
"That actually worked?" Emma said confused
"I'm telling you man, it's the dimples chicks melt over dimples" Neal said as he and the others crept into the hospital and ran toward the steps as they stopped Robin looked at Regina and smiled
"So… is it true Mi' lady? Do you just melt?" he said smiling deep as his dimples sunk in
Regina rolled her eyes along with Neal, Hook and Rumple as they made their way into the stairwell and down the steps, hearing commotion they all stopped and listened for the few doctors and nurses that worked the night shift to go into the door below them, they raced down the rest of the steps and came to the basement.
"You think this is it" Tink asked
"Well it does say basement" Snow quipped as the fairy curled her lip up at her
As they opened the door to the floor that read B, they spotted a few closed doors with key codes beside them and doctor Whale coming out of an office
"The wizard" Regina said as Henry, Emma and Neal pulled her back and clapped their hands over her mouth
"Shhh" scolded as Whale walked past the door
"You know him?" Belle asked as Neal peered out the door to see if the coast was clear
"Yes, he…" she said and then stopped when she looked at Snow "I just saw him before and he said he was a wizard, well Jefferson called him a wizard" she said as Neal waved his hand for them to follow him in the hallway. After quickly checking all the doors and finding them locked Paige called out to them
"Hey, I found it" she called as she pulled open the door and walked in, the others quickly following behind
The room was all white and in the middle sat two silver tables, on the far wall was a deep 3 section sink, a red trash can that had 'hazardous' written on the bag.
"Here, I think they're in there" Paige said pointing to a wall with at least 60 square size metal doors on it.
Ruby smiled cheeky and walked over to them "Well let's see what's behind door… number… 7" she said opening the metal door. The cool breeze and thin smoke that escaped from its confined space as Ruby pulled the bed out.
Everyone walked over to the body staring at each other as they all wondered who would do the honors of unzipping the bag
"I'll do it" Rumple said as he reached forward, with shaky hands he slowly… painfully so... unzipped the bag all the way down to the middle and then stopped
"Well open it!" Neal said as Rumple frowned
"You open it" he retorted as Regina sighed
"I'll open it" she said yanking the bag apart when they all stopped dead in their tracks, eyes wide and mouths agape
Lying before them was a pale looking corpse with black hair, firm, toned body and pale pink nipples, the body looked eerily smooth and strangely enough in a deep sleep
"It's a woman" Robin said eyes not leaving the corpse
"She's naked!" Henry shouted and that's what brought them all back to earth
Emma snatched the bag together while Neal grabbed Henry's face covering his eyes and parts of his nose as well "You go over there until we call you"
"What!" he exclaimed
"You too!" Emma said pointing to Paige
"What why? In a few years I'll look just like that!" she said folding her arms and Henry's eyes got as big as golf balls
"I mean… I don't know… well not dead!" she added quickly as Ruby and Belle laughed
"Just stand over there… please" Emma said grabbing the space between her eyes and nose
"Okay, wrong bag" Ruby said as they zipped it up "Not unless you like French manicures" she said lifting the woman's stiff arm
"Ew, Don't touch it!" Snow said as she turned away and went to open another door
Emma and Neal did the same as Ruby pushed the unidentified female back into her ice cold slumber
"Hey I found one" Neal said as everyone closed the other opened doors and walked over to him
The body was male it had a strong muscular build, its arms were fairly hairy and he was kind of handsome looking. He had a trimmed beard and short black hair
"I think this one is perfect" Ruby said as she reached into the bag, it making a sick crunching noise, from the plastic bending and the she grabbed the hand. It was strong and matched perfectly to Hook's left hand
"Okay now what?" Snow asked
"We cut" Ruby said walking away and grabbing on of the small silver knives on the table
"Wait, I don't think this is a good idea" Hook said as he eyed the sharp silver knife and the dead body they were about to dismember, he wiped the developing sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and gulped loudly
"We did not do all this, sneak out of the house, and almost pop a lung just so you could chicken out when we get here" Robin said "So either we get the damn thing or we cut off your other hand" he added glaring at the pirate
Hook said nothing just stood frowning
"Alright then" Ruby said as she laid the sharp inch long blade on the corpse's skin and began to cut, the skin made a sick crunching sound as the blade drew a dark red line across the skin, David and Hook both gagged and passed out
The sound of bodies falling had Henry and Paige turning around "What happened?" she shrieked
"They're wimps!" Ruby said as she continued to cut "Why isn't this thing coming off!" she growled as she dug the knife further into the skin and bone
"Oh my god please don't do that" Rumplestilskin said gaging and trying desperately to swallow the rising bile in his throat, his stomach gurgling as he released a wet burp followed by another gag
"Because you need this!" Henry said holding up a saw that he turned on as he walked toward the body
"Whoa kid" Emma said as Henry placed the spinning saw on the corpse's wrist and splattered bone, skin and blood everywhere. Regina, Ruby, Belle and Snow all screamed while Rumplestilskin and Paige both passed out
By the time Henry was finished and cut the machine off Emma snatched it from him hitting him in the back of the head
"Ow" he said grabbing his head
"Look what you did!" she yelled pointing to the bodies and the blood and body matter all over everyone and closest surface
Regina was grimacing as she wiped off the blood from her clothes, while Ruby glared at him, and Snow gaging as she whipped so bloody bone from her neck and cheek
"Well its cut isn't it" he argued still rubbing his head
"It's uneven and still hanging, you dweeb!" Emma yelled
Henry frowned at his mother and looked back at the hand. She was right it was horribly cut most of the bone was chipped and the skin around it looked mangled and chewed
"Well, what do we do know then" he asked quietly
"We have to leave... all this was for nothing" Emma said with a growl and turning toward the door
"Whatever, we can still use it" Ruby said as she walked over to the corpse and ripped the dangling hand off, causing the body jerk and make a sick ripping sound
Snow gasped as her eyes rolled up in the top of her head and she fainted followed by Tink, Belle and Neal
"Hey, Em, help me get Hook on the table" Ruby called out as Regina held her face to settle her stomach
"Ruby, we can't use that, its cut wrong" Emma said
"We can use it, just get him on the table, here I'll help you" she said sticking the corpse hand in her back pocket and bending down to grab Hook's lifeless body
Henry made a face and Robin went to assist her "Your calmness during all this is kind of… unsettling, Mi'lady" Robin said as he grunted standing and shuffling the body to the table with Ruby as his side
"Tell me about it" Emma and Henry both said with a grimace
As they laid Hook down on the table Ruby pulled the hand out of her pocket and laid it on his chest "Hold on" she said digging into her pocket and pulling out her phone
"What are you doing" Regina asked as she stared at the young wolf
"Selfies!" she said as she positioned the phone above her head and took a picture with Hook in the background the hand still on his chest
"You're sick individual" Regina said as she walked over to check on Snow
"Wait, wait, wait" Ruby called as she snatched the hand from Hook's chest and ran over to Snow, Tink, and Belle
"What are you doing?" Regina said as she was shoved out of the way
"Photobomb" she said as she laid on the floor with the group positioning the hand on Snow's cheek as she smiled brightly taking pictures "Come one, Regina, live a little" Ruby said as Robin frowned at the young wolf's behavior
"Ruby that thing is not supposed to be out like that, what if it… turns bad or something" Emma says as Ruby scuffs placing the hand on a puke ridden Rumple and snapped a photo
"It's frozen, see" she said banging it on the table as a little blood splattered from the opened part and pieces of the tattered bone chipped off
Robin leaned his head back taking a deep breath as his stomach started to bubble
"CAN YOU JUST STOP PLAYING WITH IT AND SEW THE DAMN THING ON PLEASE!" Regina yelled as the room started to fill as if it were spinning
"Okay, gosh, party pooper" Ruby said as she walked back over to Hook who was still passed out "Alright I'm going to need some needle and thread" she said as she grabbed a pair of goggles of the table and placed them over her eyes, then worked on removing Killian's hook, which just slid right off after twisting it from the cuff on his wrist
"Got it" Emma said as she walked over to her with a hook looking needle and black wire thread
Not knowing what the hell she was doing Ruby began to sew the mangled hand on to hook's numb
"Wait aren't you supposed to cut open Hook's wrist so the hand can attach its self to the skin?" Robin asked as Killian's wrist began to bleed from the needle and thread
"No way, it would bleed too much, once it sew it on I'll leave a little space where I'll cut it open and the new blood with fall in the new hand and then we just have to wait for it to heal" she said as a matter of fact sticking out her tongue in concentration to sew in a straight line
"That's crap" Emma said as she went to take the needle from her "You're doing it wrong" she said as she went to go grab for the needle when the room began spinning for her too "Whoa" she whispered as she grabbed her head
Ruby and Robin began to feel dizzy too
"Hey are you okay?" Henry asked as Ruby shook her head hoping to clear her eyes
"Yeah, I think that this sewing is making me dizzy" she said whipping her sweaty brow "Come one girl pull yourself together" she said to herself
"Here maybe this will help" Henry said as ruby turned to see a large staple gun being handed to her
Ruby smiled "Perfect" she said grabbing the gun from Henry "I'll be done in no time"
As Ruby lined up the stapler and Hook began to stir awake, no one heard the rapid falls of running feet as they came surging down the hallway and as the door burst open, Ruby pulled the trigger on the gun and Hook shot up screaming with a half sewn and bloody hand dangling from his wrist
