Yeah, fine, I started a new story. But this was making my head spin! What if people from Storybrooke came to help? AU, hope you like it!

Regina had seen better days in her life. She once was a queen, then a Mayor and then finally, a happy woman with a family that she would die for. Right now, fixing the almost falling apart bar she proudly called 'Roni's' was definitely not one of her best moments. Especially with Henry not remembering and that witch Drizella...

Roni tried to not think about that vile woman she had created herself as she turned the screw. If the sink would not fix, then she would not be able to open the bar that day.

"Wow. This can definitely beat the Rabbit Hole."

Regina froze. She had not heard that voice in years. It wasn't possible now, was it?

"I am not so sure if this is the place." A male voice said, uncertainty in the voice. Regina knew this one far too well. Oh boy, her dream was coming true or maybe her nightmare...

"Aye mate," another voice said, one she had heard so many times over the last few days but spoken from a different mouth, "I doubt the queen would stay here."

"I am here!" Regina found herself saying, dropping the wrench and standing up.

When she had heard the voices, she thought she was dreaming. But no, looking at the faces right in front of her.

Emma Swan.

Killian Jones or Captain Hook.

Mary Margaret Blanchard or Snow White.

David Nolan or Prince Charming.

"Regina!" Snow said excitedly, literally running around the counter to hug her step-mother turned good friend.

"Snow! Charming! You got old." Regina said, gently patting Snow on the back. Indeed they had. They looked like the wish realm version of themselves, barring the majestic clothes which were substituted with some normal day to day clothes. Even Emma look wrinkled, her hair pulled back in a ponytail and Regina was sure she saw some white hair on Killian's head.

"You didn't."Charming said, sitting on a stool. "It's been years Regina."

As Regina and Snow broke apart, Regina fixed her eyes on two other people.

"Miss Swan."

"Madam Mayor."

"Captain Guyliner."

Hook scowled as others snorted.

"Hello, Evil Queen." He said with distaste.

"I prefer Roni nowadays." She said, following Snow out of the counter and briefly greeting everyone. This was like a dream come true!

But there was a reason Regina did not want to contact the people of Storybrooke.

"What," Regina said, sitting herself, "are you doing here and how you got here? I thought all of you were enjoying your happy endings!"

"We were," Snow said, looking at everyone and taking the lead, "but then there was no news from any you from over a year..."

"And the last time we talked you said something about a curse being cast?" Emma said.

"As much as we love our happy endings," Charming said, "there is no happy ending without our whole family." Charming said, keeping a hand over Snow's shoulder.

Regina couldn't help but smile. She had missed this. She would never accept it, but she had. The hope that these people brought for her.

"Now milady," Killian said, looking around, "where is my good for nothing version who was supposed to be protecting you and where's our boy?"

"It's a long story." Regina sighed.

"We have all the time." Snow said with a smile.


Gideon Gold was looking at a book, supposed to be reading. But he just did not feel like studying. His mother was gone, his father was soon going to leave him forever and he literally had no family to call his own. His minds wandered, thinking about the magic and the life, the stories he was told about the adventures his father and mother had been on.

He did not remember being brought by the Dark fairy or all bad things he had done, for which he was thankful. But he really, really wished he could do something to ease is loneliness.

Gideon thought about Baelfire. Whenever someone talked about him, they would say he was a great man, a brave person who gave up his life to save his father's life. Gideon often found himself wondering what life would have been like if he had survived. What would he be like a brother.

As Gideon wondered, he found himself producing magic. It was a result of being the product of true love and being the Dark One's son. His mind wandered as he thought about a happy life, with his mother and half-brother and playing. Maybe he would be annoying or maybe...

"What the hell am I doing here?"

Gideon broke out of his trance and dropped the book he was holding at the sound of an unexplained voice. He looked up to see a man in his thirties, wearing a jacket and looking a bit familiar.

"Um," Gideon quietly stood up and looked at the man, "Do we know each other?"

The man raised an eyebrow and said, "I doubt it. Who are you?"

"Gideon." Gideon replied. "What's your name?"

"Neal Cassidy, or Baelfire."


Henry Mills was done for the day. He had driven enough mad people and he needed to work on his book. A glass of anything Roni had to offer would be enough.

Henry walked down the street, parking his car at a distance. Henry pondered over what the last few days had been like. He had gone on a road trip with Roni to get someone named Selena and her daughter Robyn back to Hyperion Heights. It was an interesting experience which had baffled Henry a lot. But Robyn was nice.

Then there was Nick. He was a cool guy but he was trying to win over Jacinda. Henry really wasn't in a mood to fight someone. If Jacinda liked him, she would...

His thoughts were interrupted as he crashed into someone. The landing was bad for him, as his hips began to hurt and his bag was thrown away.

"I am so sorry!" a voice seemed to say. Henry's eyes were closed as he withered in pain. Someone grabbed his hand and Henry found himself standing up.

Once Henry opened his eyes, he saw a young man, probably younger than him holding him carefully. The poor guy looked scared.

"Are you all right?" he asked, looking at Henry for assurance.

"I am fine." Henry said. He looked around from his bag when a pair of hands gave it to him. Taking the bag, he found himself staring at a young teen boy and a young teen girl.

"I haven't seen you before," Henry said looking at the three people in front of him, "not that I know everyone. Are you new here?"

"We are just visiting." The man who had helped him up said. He extended his hand and said, "Hi, My name's Neal. These are my nephew Liam and niece Alice."

Henry smiled and took the hand. "Henry Mills."
