A/N:I do not acknowledge that Season 5-7 OUAT does exists so I had alternated a lot of storyline and characters in my OUAT Universe. Here's the list of characters and their connection to avoid confusion.
* Caroline Liddell (age 18) is daughter of Cyrus and Alice of OUATIW. She is same girl at end of OUATIW series.
* Neal Nolan (age 19) is son of David and Snow. He remains same.
* Anastasia & Will Scarlet are married and moved to Storybrooke, so basically, Will never left SB as said in S4. They have two children, Mia (age 9) & Lucien (age 6).
* Regina Mills is married to Eugene "Flynn" Fitzherbert and had three children; Oliver (age 4), Adelaide & Gabriella (both age 2). (Her infertility had been cured) In addition of Henry Mills, she also had a daughter, Felicia (age 9) who is made from magic. The relationship of her and between Robin H00d never existed.
* Zelena Mills is married to Phillip Mountbatten and had one daughter, Maƫlle (age 7) "May" (as a replacement of Daughter Robin) and a stepson, Philly. Her relationship with as H00d never existed.
* Snowing relationship remains same that left off of S4, in addition of, they never attempted to remove Darkness out Emma because it was ridiculous storyline. The only thing that I kept from S6 was that they lived at their farm.
* Ruby returned to Storybrooke and has a daughter, Isla (age 2)
More to come as I make progress through the storyline.
Disclaimer: I don't own OUAT and OUATIW or else I'd be too busy rewriting and filling potholes of S4-S7.
Eighteen years old Caroline Liddell packed her very last set of clothes into her suitcase when her mother, Alice Liddell entered the room, with a plate of cookies in her hand.
"Are you really sure that you want to move to Storybrooke? You know you can work for us."
"Mom. You know I have no desire to work in politics. I want to explore the world."
Alice sighed as she knew that her daughter would not change her mind at all. Besides, she felt a little bit better knowing that her daughter is just heading to Storybrooke to live with Anastasia and Will Scarlet and their two young children. Caroline proceeds to shut her suitcase and looked up to her mother.
"All right, Caro. Will you give cookies and send them my love." Caroline gave her mother a hug and promised her to write a letter. Shortly after, her father appeared with the White Rabbit. Her father proceeds to hug her tightly.
"Caroline Amara Rose Anastasia Liddell, you make me very proud. You had grown up into smart, fierce, beautiful and honorable. I know this upsets your mother greatly, but you had grown up so much and you're ready for another chapter of your life. I miss you so much and we are anxious to hear back from you soon."
Caroline smiled and proceed to hug both her parents tightly. She was excited but nervous at the same time for her brand new adventure that is waiting for her in Storybrooke.
"Excuse me for cutting the farewell too soon, but we need to get going. We are two minutes late," said the White Rabbit anxiously. Caroline let the hug go and wished them a farewell with a promise that she will write soon. She watched the White Rabbit making a portal to Storybrooke. Upon the completion of the portal, she gave them the last goodbye which she took a deep breath as she was anxious what it will happen while living in Storybrooke.
The portal only took her fifteen minutes, but it felt like a year had passed before finally landing in the forest, just right outside of the town. Caroline quickly stood up and inspected herself for anything that might be torn on the trip through the portal but she couldn't find anything.
"Awesome! Now my adventure begins." Thought Caroline.
The White Rabbit was already on the move which Caroline had no choice but try to catch up which she did not until she already arrived in the town.
"Wow, this is Storybrooke?" she exclaimed while going into circles, exploring the town.
"Yes, Caroline." said the White Rabbit with some annoyance in his tone.
Caroline decided not to bug him while staring the buildings any time longer. Besides, she has all the time to explore as soon she gets settled down. It is not a long walk to the Scarlets residence in a small house off on the main street. Caroline quickly knocked on the door which Anastasia answered which she gave her a tight hug.
"Caroline! You had grown up into a lady! Welcome to Storybrooke!"
"Thank you, Anastasia. You look well yourself."
Anastasia smiled at the White Rabbit, "Hello White Rabbit. You look well, sir."
"You look well yourself too. I must excuse my short visit. Wonderland bids me back." said the White Rabbit which he ran off to return his portal.
"He hadn't changed in the slightest." smiled Anastasia, "Doesn't matter now that you're here. Let me show your bedroom and get you freshen up. The first task in Storybrooke is picking Mia and Lucien up from school. They'll be excited to see you."
Caroline quickly followed Anastasia to the upstairs which her bedroom is next to Mia's. It was a beautiful room with the window facing the Storybrooke Clocktower. Twenty minutes later, Anastasia reappeared in her room, informing her that it's time to pick her children up from school. Caroline happily strolled while exploring a little bit of Storybrooke.
"Oh, Anastasia. This town is too grand, unlike Wonderland. You have so many things that I could not even imagine.
"It is amazing, even though I only lived here only seven years, Storybrooke still amazes me every day."
"Hello, Mrs. Scarlet. I hope you're doing well." said a woman with red hair who saw them walking toward the school.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Mountbatten. I'm well and I hope you are too. May I introduce Caroline Liddell from Wonderland. She is staying with us while she settles down in our world."
Mrs. Mountbatten turned her attention which she extended her hand to offer a shake, "I'm Zelena Mountbatten. I'm delighted to meet you."
"Pleasure to meet you too, Mrs. Mountbatten."
Zelena and Anastasia chatted all way to the school, which it leaves an opportunity for Caroline to observe the town. Not too long after, they arrived the school where it was filled with all the children running around. She happily watched the children interacting with their parents, which she felt pangs how much she missed her parents even she is gone for about two hours.
"Mom!" shouted the little girl with dirty blonde hair as she ran to hug her mother. Anastasia chuckled as she picked her up and giving her a kiss. "Hello, little darling. How was school?"
"Marvelous. Mrs. Campbell taught us about marine life. I wanna go to the aquarium!"
Anastasia chuckled, "We can take you this weekend. Now, where's your brother?"
The girl pouted as she was impatient for the weekend, then she pointed her brother coming out the school building with Mary Margaret.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Scarlet! Please excuse his tardiness, I found him in the library once again!"
Anastasia cuddled her son which she smiled, "What book are you reading today?"
"Vikings! I want to be Lookback!" said the boy.
"It is Lothbrok and I don't think you want to be a Viking. It's very dangerous," said Mary Margaret.
"But he goes places! I want to do when I'm big!"
Anastasia couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes but for now, Mommy and Daddy need you at home. Now you have a good evening, Mrs. Nolan."
Mary Margaret bid them goodbye and went off which Anastasia shifted her attention to Caroline.
"Mia, Lucien. Remember I was telling you this morning that my friend, Caroline will be coming today and this is Caroline."
Mia and Lucien gave her the biggest smile and hugged her.
"Do you like marine biology?" asked Mia.
"Not really but you can teach me all about marine biology!" said Caroline cheerfully. Her response made Mia jump around in joy.
"Mia, Luc. We need to get going. Daddy will be coming home soon and we do want to see him, right?" said Anastasia with a firm. The children obeyed her order which they were on their way back to home. Upon arriving home, Anastasia received a phone call from Will that he will be meeting them at Granny's Diner as he wanted to celebrate her homecoming.
Upon arrival to Granny's Diner, Caroline immediately realized that she is starving as she had not eaten since arrival to Storybrooke. The food smelled really good upon stepping into the building.
"Ana! I'm here!" Waved Will upon seeing them entering. They all walked toward to him, which Anastasia and the children gave them a quick hello hug.
"Caroline, that's you?" exclaimed Will after hugging his children. Caroline could not help but gave him a big hello hug. It has been so long time since she last saw him.
"Last time I saw you when you're a cute little girl like my Mia and now you're standing in front me as a grown into a fine lady! No wonder how proud your parents are!"
Anastasia chuckled as Will was speechless how much she had grown up. Not too long after, Ruby arrived their table to take their food order.
"So, you're the Caroline that I been hearing about! How wonderful to finally meet you!"
Before Caroline could reply, Ruby was already yelling at Granny to come down from the behind to meet Caroline.
"Hi, Caroline! I'm Granny Lucas, the owner of this diner. This place will be your home for the rest of your life. And whenever you get married and starting a family, I'll be your child's "grandmother", She proceeds to cuddle Mia and Lucien, "Basically, I am the grandmother to all Storybrooke children."
Ruby began to laugh, "Shhh. Don't let Isla know. She does not like sharing grandmother with everyone else."
Granny waved her hand to dismiss Ruby, "Shoo. You have a customer waiting." then she shifted the attention to Caroline to take their food orders. Twenty minutes later, the food had arrived, which Caroline took in two minutes to examine the wonderful meal before devoting them. It was uncommon for her family to eat a meal at the restaurant so she wanted to remember her first meal as long as she could.
"Did you enjoy the meal?" asked Anastasia after she finished her meal.
"Yes, it is delicious and I could barely wait for next time I will be dining here."
"Then you will love living in Storybrooke because there are so much more to offer."
Caroline let out a yawn as she is exhausted from the trip, "Fortunately, I have all the time I needed because I'm too exhausted to complete!"
"I agree. You don't want to run out things to explore!"
"Like going to the aquarium with me!" perked Mia who overheard the conversation between her mother and Caroline.
Caroline rubbed Mia's nose, "Then you will be my new teacher!" Mia let out a delighted squeal with excitement. She definitely could not wait for the weekend.
"All right, kids. It's time to go home. We have to go bed as it's getting late." said Will as he is tired as also and couldn't wait to go bed. After they bid Granny and Ruby a good night, they were off to their home for the night, which Caroline never felt that so excited about going to bed that night. There is such of many adventures waiting for her when she wakes up.
