Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: The Cemetery

Situation: A memorial service for Ronan (Victor and Ruby's stillborn son)

Naveen's p.o.v

All the sadness in the air makes me want to hold my wife tighter. We were almost in Victor

And Ruby's shoes once. Thankfully, Raven survived her difficult premature birth. She is now

Nineteen years old. She has graduated from high school. Her dream is be a chef and to own

a restaurant. Tiana and I have allowed her to work with us on our food truck. "Ronan was

our miracle baby. There were complications with the pregnancy. That's why Ruby was

induced and delivered early at seven months. I helped her to bring him into this world" an

emotional Victor recounts bringing me back down to reality. My heart aches and breaks for

Vincent and Ruby. Nobody especially them deserves to lose a baby.


Time Period: A Flashback

Situation: The night before Dizzy's disappearance

Drizella's p.o.v

As usual, Francis and I tuck our little princess into bed. Dizzy loves it when we role play. I pretend to be a damsel in distress and Francis rescues me. I consider him to be my hero and prince charming. Dizzy falls asleep believing in fairytales and our tight knitted family bond.

Time Period: A Flashback

Situation: Dizzy has disappeared the following morning

Drizella's p.o.v

I open Dizzy's bedroom door and notice she is not in her bed. I assume she is in the bathroom. I don't hear her footsteps or any water running. Panic and fear begin to set in immediately for me.

Time Period: A Flashback

Francis' p.o.v

Drizella and I searched for Dizzy around our house and town. Nobody knew Dizzy's whereabouts. We ended up depressed and childless in the end. I followed Drizella upstairs where she collapsed on our bed. "Dizzy is missing" a sorrowful Drizella repeated over and over again like a song.


Place: Rumple's Family Burial Plot

Situation: Ronan's memorial service

Regina's p.o.v

Rumple left behind his ashes and family burial plot for me to take care off. I believed Rumple

wouldn't mind if Ruby and Vincent buried their son in the family burial plot. They

appreciated my help and support. We were not yet done mourning and burying Ronan when

a livid Drew appeared. Her eyes burned right through my soul. I could feel the darkness

rising up in her. I tried to embrace her, but she pushed me to the ground. "My daughter is

missing. Dr. Facilier probably took her. What the hell did you do to him this time? Please

don't play the rape or miscarriage card" Drizella snapped at me.


Regina's p.o.v

Her eyes burn right through my soul. I feel as if I am attending my own funeral. She wants

for me to tell her the truth. I have a feeling it is going to be a long and rough day for us.

She will probably put my ashes in an urn next. Even now we swim and explore the deep end.


Place: Mulan and Shang's house-A Nursery

Mulan's p.o.v (she is heavily pregnant with a baby girl at the time)

Frantically, my husband Shang storms into the nursery. I have been preparing for our

daughter's arrival. I am so startled that I fear my water may break. "Please slow down and

breathe" I instruct Shang. He catches his breath before speaking further. "Mulan, babies

and children have been disappearing all over town" Shang informs me.


Time Period: A Flashback

Princess Kwan-Yin (the grown up version of Mulan and Shang's unborn daughter)

Among all my sisters, Father found favor with me. I was well educated and wise.

My father wanted me to be his wanted my husband to be the next future king.

I had no desire to be queen or be married. He arranged for me to get married anyway.

I discovered and joined a convent on my way to the wedding ceremony. The nuns

mistreated me at the convent. I still carried out my duties such as helping those in need.

Father raided the convent and forced me to return home with him. He sentenced me to

death for disobedience. Divine intervention saved my life. I became a goddess of mercy.

Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: Henry's writing studio

Shay aka Kwan Yin's p.o.v

"You summoned me. How may I help you?" I remind Henry. "Lucy has disappeared. Jacinda

has been looking for her nonstop. A curse or something else has made all of the babies and kids to

vanish" Henry informs me. "What does their disappearance have to do with me?" I wonder. "You

are my ghost writer. You are a goddess of mercy. You have helped those, unborn or simply

lost crossover" Henry recounts.


Time Period: Shay's birth

Place: A Hospital Delivery Room

Mulan's p.o.v

"Again, Mulan, Push" Doctor Whale instructs me. "I can't do this. It is too hard" I complain. Normally

I am the strong and tough one. I can handle anything that is thrown my way. Who knew giving birth

could hurt so much? Thankfully, Shang and Aurora are here to support me through this difficult time.

Time Period: A Flashback

Situation: Shay's actual birth

Mulan's p.o.v

The baby has started to crown and my back is hurting really bad. "My back is hurting. These pillows

are not helping me at all" I complain in the mist of pushing. "I got you. I will provide extra body

support for you" Shang insists. I lay my head against his chest and absorb his warm body heat.

He puts pressure on my big swollen stomach. I relax my muscles and hold my legs open.

Shang, Aurora, and Dr. Whale cheer me on nonstop. Apart of myself doubts I can safely bring Shay

into the world.

Time Period: A Flashback

Situation: Shay's birth

Shang's p.o.v

"It hurts and burns. I can't do this anymore" an exhausted Mulan complains. "You are experiencing a

burning ring of fire. The baby is crowning at last" Dr. Whale informs Mulan. After a long difficult

labor and pushing process, Mulan is more than ready to welcome Shay into the world. Aurora

and I continue to offer her words of encouragement. Unfortunately, Shay is born blind.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: Mulan's recovery room

Mulan's p.o.v

Shang and I have decided to name our daughter Shay Joy. Who knew Shay's birth would bring all the missing babies and kids back home? She is some kind of hero. Maybe that is why the universe spared her life. Anyhow, here I am alone in a recovery room. I am swooning over Shay who is sleeping in my arms.


Shay's p.o.v (the grown up version)

I can feel someone kissing my forehead. "Something is wrong. I can't see" I complain to him or her.

The person places my hand on her or her cheek. "Its me, Shay, your dad. You are in the hospital.

You took quite a tumble out of the canal. You rescued all those who were lost and missing.

Unfortunately, you are now blind" my dad informs me. "Shay, I am so sorry. I had no idea that

you would become blind. Your infant self is blind as well. I should've sent you to that realm,

the canal aka purgatory" Henry apologizes.

Shay's p. o.v

Dad helps me into a wheelchair and then escorts me to a room that is located across

the hall. I can hear Dad and Henry talking to a young woman whose name is Mulan.

Mulan has just recently given birth to a baby girl. Surprisingly, Mulan is my mom.

I am caught off guard when Mulan acknowledges me as her daughter. She

allows me to hold Baby Shay aka my newborn baby self. I wonder if this

world is big enough for the both of us or if one of us will have to go?


Place: The Canal-A Type of Purgatory

Shay's p.o.v

Spontaneously, all of babies and kids living in Storybrooke disappeared. Everyone assumed

Jafar or Dr. Facilier kidnapped them. Jafar and Dr. Facilier were innocent in this case. My

former classmate and coauthor, Henry Mills created a new different realm by which he called The

Canal.

Shay's p.o.v

Our paths in life are very different, but we will collide again soon. Our longest darkest hour

and day is still yet to come. I have a voice, but I depend on you to make the right choice.

Even now you know what you must do. Even if it may lead to my demise, you disarm me.


Henry's p.o.v

Regina's house is my first stop on my apology world tour. Mom greets me with a hug and kiss, not

knowing that I have come to repent. She offers me milk and chocolate chip cookies. I savor and

cherish this precious moment. "I helped Mommy to bake the cookies" Solomon boasts. "I am

glad you are home" I tell him. "You and Shay are heroes for rescuing all the missing babies and

kids" mom praises me.

Regina's p.o.v

I enjoyed his presence until he released a huge bombshell. "I am responsible for making all

the babies and kids to disappear. I put Shay's life in jeopardy. She is now blind because of

me" He confessed. "Henry, I almost lost Solomon. What the hell could possess you to do

such a horrible thing?" I yelled at my son. "At least I didn't take Avalon away from you"

Henry argues increasing my anger and disappointment in him. Avalon appears instantly at

the mentioning of her name. She had been reading or journaling upstairs in her room. "I

heard somebody, perhaps Henry, call my name. How may I be of help?" she asked. "We

don't need your help. Henry and me are having an intense argument" I explained to my

daughter. Avalon takes Solomon back upstairs with her.


Henry's p.o.v

Angry, I slammed the door right behind me. I forgot to tell Mother goodbye. She didn't chase after

me. I was totally worthless and useless to her. I bet she wished I was never born. I bet she

regretted adopting me. I encountered even more chaos at my house. Jacinda and my

former classmate Violet worked together to bring me down. Shay was stuck in the middle

of our drama. I was torn between erasing Shay or myself from existence. Before I

could make a final decision, my body waged war against me. I started to experience

shortness of breath and chest pains. I blamed my physical aliments on stress and anxiety.

A celestial being calling my name drowned out Lucy's loud intense sobs and screams.


Time Period: Henry's dream and possible reality

Place: The Edge of All Realms

Henry's p.o.v

"Henry" my guardian angel's voice repeats. I open my eyes and notice my grandpa looking

Down on me. He helps me off the ground. "I can see you. Am I dead?" I wonder. "You had a

heart attack, but you are not dead" Grandpa assures me.


Time Period: The Edge of All Realms

Henry's p.o.v

Father greets me with a hug and kiss. Gideon waves hello to me. "It is good to see you again, son"

Father tells me. "I am happy to see you too" I respond. "Hello again my grandson Henry" Belle

acknowledges me. Adorable triplets, one boy and two girls, follow right behind her. I can see traces

of Jacinda and myself in their facial features. They are shy and nervous around me. Belle speaks on

their behalf. "Their names are Elijah Maurice Mills, Nikki aka Nicolette Mills, and Dawn Ava Mills"

she introduces them. "Mills?" I gasp in shock. "Elijah, Nikki, and Dawn Ava are your kids. They

haven't been born yet. Jacinda is currently eight weeks pregnant with them. I bet she hasn't told you

or she doesn't know herself" Belle informs me. My mind is spinning. "Please don't

give up hope. Please don't erase yourself from existence" Grandpa strongly advises me.


Time Period: Purgatory-Narnia-Henry's Dream Reality

Henry's p.o.v (between alive and dead)

The night is not beautiful especially for a deadly airplane crash. A beautiful goddess, Isolde's ghost, leads me on a wild goose chase through an enchanted forest. With every step, she cries and pours somebody's ashes out of an urn. The wind blows the ashes in my direction. I can't wipe the soot or her blood off my clothes. Isolde and I stop playing hide and seek eventually. She trades in the urn for some kind of enormous mysterious object. I help her to remove tree limbs and branches off this object in which is a casket. She crawls into the casket and lays down beside her dead lover. Her dead lover is my good friend Tristan. A true love's kiss awakens him. I can hear myself writing and narrating their evolving epic love story.


Naveen's p.o.v

I had just finished eating my lunch in the cafeteria. Unnoticeably, I walked pass the waiting room where Regina, Emma, Drizella, and Jacinda sat. They were obvious distraught over something that Henry did. They didn't have a clue that Tina was undergoing chemotherapy. I stayed silent for my wife's sake. Jacinda saw and rushed to embrace me. "Its so good to see you again, Nave. I bet you have heard about Henry's heart attack. Henry, not Jafar or Dr. Facilier, is responsible for making all the babies and kids to disappear" Jacinda notified me.

Naveen's p.o.v continued

Tiana's pretty face lites up like a Christmas Tree when I enter the chemotherapy room. My heart bleeds and breaks for her. I want to take her home so badly. She must stay put because she is not done with her chemotherapy session yet. "How was your lunch?" she asks me in the present time. "I enjoyed my lunch. I missed you though" I admit.


Time Period: The Present Reality-The Hospital

Jacinda's p.o.v

"It is all your fault that Henry had a heart attack" Emma yells at Regina. "Henry created this chaos.

He gave himself a heart attack" Regina argues. I fear they might get into an actual physical fight.

I am in no shape to play referee. Nobody knows I am eight weeks pregnant. I planned to tell

Henry about my pregnancy until Lucy went missing and I discovered he was responsible for her disappearance. Anyhow, I feel sick to my stomach at this present moment. Drizella hears me vomiting in a bathroom stall. "Jacinda, you are pregnant"

my sister assumes immediately. "I am not pregnant. Sometimes I vomit when I

am stressed especially right now. I am worried about Henry and that is all" I lie hoping

she will get off my case. "I don't believe you" she yells leaving the bathroom. Quickly,

I clean up myself and rejoin my family in the waiting area. "Jacinda, Henry is awake. He wants to see you" Doctor Whale informs me. "Please take me to him at once" I request nicely. Dr. Whale does what I ask. Shockingly, Henry already knows about my pregnancy. He claims he met our unborn triplets in Heaven. Their names are Elijah Maurice Mills, Nicolette aka Nikki Mills, and Dawn Ava Mills. Given the circumstances, he proposes to me again. I am super excited because I have always wanted us to renew our vows.


Violet's p.o.v

I treat Shay to lunch at the lunchroom. She still hasn't recovered her sight. I don't understand why she is blind if Henry and her broke the curse. "Thanks for lunch, Vi. You are such a good friend" Shay compliments me. "You are the real hero here" I deflect. "I was Henry's sacrificial lamb. I am nothing but a blind young woman now" Shay reflects. "We used to be the three musketeers in high school" I recall. "We need to stop allowing Henry to play Russian Roulette with our lives" Shay vents. I freeze for a brief moment. I am feeling a little bit lightheaded and crampy. I rest a hand on my lower abdomen where my 14 week old fetus has been growing. "Vi, you are awfully quiet. What is the matter?" Shay asks me. "I am not okay. I have to go. I apologize for leaving you so soon. Thanks for lunch" I farewell my friend and former classmate. My anxiety and cramps increase as I make my way to the bathroom. What happens next is a blur. I remember collapsing into a woman's arms. "Violet, its me Regina. I got you sweetheart" she whispers.


Violet's p.o.v

I wake up with intense painful cramps. I discover myself in a hospital bed and tied up

to many tubes. I grab ahold of Regina. "Breathe, Violet, Breathe" Regina instructs me.

"Something is wrong with my baby. I am a lot of pain" I inform Regina and Dr. Whale.

"You are losing your baby. The next step is a D&C procedure" Dr. Whale explains.

"No!" devastated, I cry and scream into Regina's arms. "I am going nowhere" she

promises me. "Is there anyone like the baby's father that the hospital can contact?"

Dr. Whale asks. "The baby's father, my husband Christian Jones, died in a helicopter plane

crash eight weeks ago. He was on a business trip. You can contact my dad" I sob.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Situation: Regina witness Violet lose her baby

Regina's p.o.v

Violet's dad appeared just in enough for the surgery. He had been undergoing chemotherapy in a different part of the hospital. He thanked me for looking after Violet in his absence. "I have to urinate really badly" Violet alerted her dad, Dr. Whale and me. "You are about to go to the operation room for surgery. You can use the bathroom before surgery" Dr. Whale sympathized with her.


Regina's p.o.v

As she was being prepared for an emergency D&C, she developed a strong urge to urinate. She was escorted by her dad to the bathroom. "Just step right in here" her dad instructed holding the door open. She bent over in pain and a gush of fluid came out. Dr. Whale caught the dead fourteen week fetus in a towel. "The pregnancy is now over" he declared crushing her heart and spirit even more. I helped her into the bed where she laid motionless like a statue. Upon request, I left the room immediately. I flopped down in a nearby chair outside. I rested my face in my hands.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Situation: Rumple is comforting an emotional Regina outside violet's hospital room

Rumple's p.o.v

I left paradise at Regina's beckoning. I sensed that she needed a friend after witnessing Violet

miscarry. "What is wrong with me? Why are people always leaving me or pushing me away?" she

vents now. "It is nothing that you have done wrong. You did what you could for them especially

Violet" I comfort her. I wipe a tear off her pretty face. I give her a hug instead of a kiss. Hand

in hand, we walk over to the nursery. Our minds travel back to our daughter Avalon's birth.


Regina's p.o.v

I leave Rumple and our precious memories at the hospital. Something inside directs me to Emma's

house. I desire to make amends with her. Emma and Killian's daughter Ellie who has Down

Syndrome greets me with a hug. "Hello Auntie" Ellie acknowledges me. "You are such a sweetheart"

I compliment Ellie. "Ellie Faith Jones, I have your teddy bear. You can play with it while I talk to your

Aunt" Emma bargains with Ellie. "Ok Mommy" the little girl agrees as she takes the teddy bear and

walks back into the house. Emma closes the front door behind her. "Ellie has Down Syndrome, but

I love her so much" Emma's voice cracks. "I want to apologize for offending you at the hospital" I

tell Emma upfront. "I forgive you. You didn't cause Henry's heartattack. He put himself in that

predicament. Where were you when he was discharged from the hospital?" Emma emphasizes.

"Henry's former classmate, Violet had a miscarriage. I was tending to her at the hospital.

Violet's dad has been undergoing chemotherapy. Her husband Christian died in a helicopter

crash eight weeks ago" I share. "I feel sad and bad for Violet. No woman especially her deserves

to lose both a husband and a baby" Emma stresses. A torn page, probably one missing from

Henry's storybook, falls from the sky and lands at our feet. The page displays a picture of two

star-crossed lovers. Emma and I assume the star-crossed lovers are Romeo and Juliet or Tristan

and Isolde.


Place: A Music Shop in Storybrooke

Violet's p.o.v

With Doctor Whale's permission, I have been discharged from the hospital. Although I am feeling

better, I have promised Dr. Whale to take it easy. Papa knows how much I love music so he has

brought me here to the music shop. We look around for a brand new piano. I keep receiving a

strange vibe from the store manager whose name is Tristan. Tristan resembles my deceased

husband Christian. "You are looking at me weird as if you have seen a ghost" Tristan points out.

"You have a very familiar face" I explain. "My favorite instrument is the harp. You should try

playing a harp instead of a piano" he persuades me. "Please don't listen to Tristan. You

can play the piano if you want to" Tristan's young female coworker advises me. "What is

your name, dear?" I inquire. "My name is Isolde. I am Tristan's coworker and girlfriend" she

reveals. She ruins my future plans with Tristan.


Place: Violet and her dad's house-The Living room

Situation: With Isolde's permission, Tristan helps to move the piano into the house

Tristan's p.o.v

"Moving this piano into the house has been hard work. You should've brought a harp" I complain.

"Papa and I thank you for your help. You are very strong" Violet praises me. Violet and her dad

notice that I am tired. They invite me to rest in the guest room, but I am in a rush to get back to

work and Isolde. Before I can leave, Violet pulls me aside for a heart to heart conversation. She

reopens my eyes and heart. "Maybe I am too late or right on time" I think to myself.


Violet's p.o.v

"I am sorry for dying in that horrible plane crash. I am sorry for abandoning you and our unborn

baby. The author resurrected me. I should've told you that I was alive sooner" Tristan apologizes.

I put his hand on my stomach, hoping and praying to feel signs of life again. "Our little angel"

my voice cracks. Uncontrollable tears breakthrough my tough exterior. I fall apart in my

beloved's arms. "You were pregnant once, but our baby died" Tristan reaffirms.


Place: Emma and Killian's house

Emma's p.o.v

My sweet precious EJ aka Ellie Jones has brought a friend home. I know each one of Ellie's classmates except for this little girl. Her name is Tessa Bloom. She is quite shy and a mystery. "Who are your parents?" I inquire. "I never knew my mother. My last name is Bloom. People call my dad Mr. Bloom. He works at music shop" she admits. "I know only one person whose last name is Bloom. His name is Tristan. He must be your dad" I assume. "I forgot to tell him that I was planning to hang out with EJ after school today. He is so consumed with work and his girlfriend that he doesn't pay me any attention" Tessa confides in me. I contact Tristan asap for security and accountability purposes. Tessa is shocked and surprised that Tristan actually does appear and takes her home.


Place: The Bloom's House

Tristan's p.o.v

"Tessa Blossom Bloom! Why didn't you tell me that you were planning to hang out with Ellie after

school?" I interrogate my eleven year old daughter during dinner. "I never thought or expected for

you to care about my whereabouts. You are always busy with work or your girlfriend" Tessa

assumes. "I apologize for neglecting you. You are never far from my thoughts. I will do better

next time" I promise her. The doorbell rings and Tessa beats me to the door. Our world

collides and merges with Violet's world. We are a family again.


Place: The Mayor's Office

Regina's p.o.v

"Mommy, we have visitors" Solomon yells running into my office. I share this office with his

sister Avalon. Recently, Avalon has been working as my secretary. "Please use your inside voice,

dear. Your sister and me are working" I request. "Mommy, we have vistors" Solomon repeats in a

low soft voice. "You can bring in our guests" I instruct my son. Solomon bring in Tristan, Violet, and

Tessa. I am shocked to learn that Tristan and Violet are Tessa's parents. I remember when Violet

miscarried Tessa. Apparently, Henry has given Tessa a second chance at life. Since Henry is

the author, he can resurrect people. Anyhow, Avalon updates their family registry. I didn't have

to ask her to do it. She is just so prompt and organized. I would be lost without her.


Time of Day: After Work Evening Time

Place: The library

Regina's p.o.v

Unexpectedly, Rumple's presence startles me. Even now his silence is not enough. He picks up

the book that I have been reading off the floor. "A great storm is on the horizon. He is coming after

her. You must protect her at all costs" Rumple forewarns. He disappears back into the shadows

of my mind.


Time Period: Regina's nightmare

Regina's p.o.v

Merciless and coldhearted, he burns her at the stake. He casts her voodoo doll into the fire.

I wish I could trade places with her. He would much rather for me to watch her die. Silently, my

heart aches and longs for her.


Regina's p.o.v

I wake up from my nightmare quite shaken and broken inside. My loud cries and screams send

Avalon running into my room. "Mom, I am here. How may I help you?" Avalon insists. "Oh my dear

sweet Ava" my voice cracks with emotion. I haven't been in this pain and turmoil since I carried

her and gave birth to her nineteen ongoing twenty years ago.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Situation: A Midnight Stroll With Regina Through Storybrooke

Rumple's p.o.v

"Rumple, I am afraid. He is going to burn her at the stake" an emotional Regina confides in me. "I

know she is going to die soon. We haven't lost her yet" I comfort Regina.


Time Period: The Next Day-Lunch time

Avalon's p.o.v

Drew and Francis invited Mom, Solomon and me over to their house for lunchtime. While the adults

are talking and finishing their meals, I supervise Dizzy and Solomon play catch with Lucifer in the

backyard. Anastasia is like a flash of lightning, present one moment and then gone the next. I

can barely keep up with her. Anyhow, Lucifer decides to break loose. He sends me on a wild goose

chase through the woods. "Leave Lucifer alone for great danger is on the horizon" my conscience

warns me. I don't know if I am brave or dumb for ignoring my conscience. Lucifer climbs up a

tall wooden tree. "Please come down and let me take you home" I beg him. His creepy stare

and grin gives me a goosebumps. Lucifer's alter ego, The Cheshire Cat, tries to manipulate me.

The Evil Queen abruptly interrupts our fight. She drags me deeper into the woods, perhaps to my

death.


Avalon's p.o.v continued

The Evil Queen's strong grip makes it hard for me to escape. "You are going nowhere. You are mine

now and forever" she yells at me. "You look like my mom, but you are not her. Let Me Go" I demand.

"Shut Up or I will kill you before he gets his hands on you" she threatens me. "Who is he? Why does

he want to hurt me?" I question her. She slaps me and my tears mean nothing to her. "Never mess

with The Evil Queen" she reinforces. She takes me to Dr. Facilier's secret hideout place. "Hello,

Avalon" Dr. Facilier greets me. He covers my mouth with tape so I will not scream. Dr. Facilier and

The Evil Queen tie my arms and legs to a pole. I fear I am going to be burn at the stake like Joan of

Arc.


Scene 1: The Edge of All Realms aka the Afterlife

Place: Belle and Rumple's Cottage

Rumple's p.o.v

I am in the middle of reading to Belle when I receive a vision. "Something is wrong" I alert

Belle. Belle's pretty blue eyes grow big with concern. "Rumple, how may I help you?" she asks me.

"I had a vision. Dr. Facilier and The Evil Queen are holding Avalon hostage in the woods. They are

about to burn Avalon at the stake. I must stop them" I inform Belle. "I know how much you love

Avalon. She is your heart. Do whatever is necessary to rescue her" Belle encourages me. I

discuss Avalon's situation with Gideon and Baelfire. Like Belle, they give me their blessing to

rescue her. Parting is such bittersweet sorrow, but it is what it is. A time portal transports me back

to the mortal world, specifically Storybrooke.


Scene 2: Storybrooke-The Woods

Rumple's p.o.v

I can hear Regina and her crew arguing with The Chesire Cat aka Lucifer in the distance. My

presence restores order and peace. I am the only one that The Chesire Cat actually helps.

The cat shows us the direction in which Dr. Facilier's secret hideout place is located.

Regina embraces me as a way to express her gratitude. We almost kiss each other.

We enter Dr. Facilier's fortress prepared for a bloodbath. "She is almost roasted

chicken" Dr. Facilier implies in reference to my daughter. This statement sets off

something within me. He is in store for a brutal rude awakening.


Regina's p.o.v

We kept on throwing punches until he shot my heart. By my heart, I mean my daughter Avalon.

He had burned her at the stake as a form of entertainment. She was barely unrecognizable. I

caught her before she could sink deeper into the flames. I cradled her dying body. He laughed

at my pain and sorrow. "You are an evil son of a bitch" I cursed Dr. Facilier. He tossed Avalon's

torn and wornout voodoo doll at my feet. Then he and The Evil Queen retreated to the shadows.


Place: Avalon's hospital room

Spirit Everest Jones' p.o.v (Emma and Killian's daughter)

My friend is a in vegetative state. A true love kiss hasn't been able to awaken her. It is my job to revive her and heal her.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Spirit's p.o.v

Her mind and soul were trapped in purgatory, somewhere between life and death. Our worlds and

memories collided into each other like cars. I breathed a big sigh of relief when she was back in

her right mind and body. "Spirit, you did it. You resurrected me. You healed me. You are a total

lifesaver" Avalon praised me. "Well thanks" I smiled. "You appear to be alittle off. Saving me

has a huge toll on your body. You must rest now" she advised me. "I am fine. I will get over

this oncoming cold or fainting spell of mine" I assured her. Beaming with pride, I informed Regina

and her crew including my boss Dr. Whale that Avalon was alive and fully awake. One by one,

they showered her with love. I felt my body slowly beginning to shutdown. In passing, Tiana

requested for me to heal her next.


Tiana's p.o.v

I close my eyes and pretend to go to sleep on the way home from the hospital. "I understand you

are probably tired after chemotherapy" Naveen sympathizes. He is driving us home.

Time Period: The Present Reality

Naveen's p.o.v

My wife is tired and weary from a long day of chemotherapy. Gently and cautiously, I tuck her into bed. Even now I see her beauty and not cancer. "I love you, Nave" Tiana admits. "I love you too" I smirk. Tiana's mom Naomi, Raven, and I take turns with checking on her.


Tiana's p.o.v

Early in the morning the next day, the sound of the door bell ringing ruins my beauty sleep. I run downstairs to answer the door since everyone else in the house is still asleep. I

open the door and Jacinda is standing outside on the porch. "Good morning, my friend and neighbor" I address Jacinda and she smiles back at me. "These brownies are for

you and your family to eat" she says giving me the brownies that are wrapped tightly in foil. "Thanks, Jacinda. God bless you" I respond with a hug. "Please don't squeeze me.

I am carrying triplets. I need to fit into my wedding dress. You are the maid of honor" she forewarns me. "Congrats. I am going to be an auntie again. I am going to be your

maid of honor" I exclaim. "I hope you and your family will continue to have a great day" Jacinda discloses leaving my property. I then close the door and make my way to the

kitchen where I eat a brownie. "Babe, what are you eating?" suspicious, Naveen demands walking into the kitchen. "Jacinda dropped by the house while you were sleeping. She

baked brownies for us" I explain. "Excuse me, let me get a brownie" Naveen says pushing me to the side. "Okay, my prince" amused, I laugh watching Naveen stuff

his face with food.


Date: 4-6-2020

Jacinda's p.o.v

"Wake up, Jacinda " a voice whispers breaking through the foggy mist. "Please leave me alone" tired, I order the voice. I am six months pregnant. My body

demands more sleep. "Wake up, Jacinda" the voice persists once again. Weakly, I open my eyes. Tiana sits at the edge of the bed holding my hand in hers.

"Today is your wedding day. I will drive you to the church. We shouldn't keep the groom waiting" Tiana reminds me. The wedding, I almost

forgot about it. The triplets prompted us to get married right now instead of later on. Henry spent most of his time planning the wedding since I was feeling

unwell. Occasionally, he would share his ideas with me and I provided feedback. We would find a way to combine our ideas somehow. "How did you get into

my house?" I wonder in the present time. "Lucy let me into the house" Kasey admits pointing at Lucy. Silent, Lucy stands in the doorway. I depend on her

for protection these days. Nauseous, I run to the bathroom where I perform my daily morning ritual. Vomiting in the toilet takes a real toll on my body. I feel

as if all of the strength in my body has left. Extreme morning sickness, this is the price I must pay for carrying Henry's triplets. They definitely worth

my pain. I can't wait to hold them three months from now. Lightheaded, I collapse on the bed. Tiana offers me a peppermint and a drink of water in which

cures my sickness for a little bit. She is kind enough to escort me to the car outside. Lucy follows behind carrying my wedding dress. They assist me in the

bride's chambers. Fear consumes me until I encounter my beloved at the altar.


Place: Jacinda's hospital recovery room

Henry's p.o.v continued

"You must resurrect Nikki" Jacinda demands shaking me. "I can't resurrect family especially her.

I couldn't resurrect my own father. My powers as the author are limited" I explain. Roughly,

Jacinda throws a pillow at me. I dodge her violent attack. "Our daughter is dead

and will be gone forever. My heart hurts nearly as much as yours" I cry. "Please leave me

alone or go to hell. It is all your fault that Nikki died and she is never ever coming back"

Jacinda yells. Her harsh words chase me out of the room and her life temporarily.


Date: 4-8-2020

Place: The Docks

Event: Nikki's memorial service

Jacinda's p.o.v

I hold Nikki's urn dear and close to my heart. Nikki was cremated at the hospital without Henry's

permission or knowledgement. He decided to give me space after our big fight. Honestly, I hated

myself. I blamed Henry for Nikki's death and my suffering. Lucy, Raven, Dizzy, Anatasia, Driuzella,

Tiana, Francis and Naveen have supported me in Henry's absence. Anyway, I am planning to make

amends with Henry at the memorial service. I am surprised when he actually does show up. We

embrace and kiss each other as if there is no bad blood between us. He is kind enough to help me

spread out Nikki's ashes. Later on, we visit our other babies that are still in the nicu.


Place: The Hospital-The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Jacinda's p.o.v continued

"Hello, my name is Henry. I am your dad" Henry introduces himself to our son and daughter. His

words pull on my heartstrings. I feel guilty for being mean to him earlier. "Henry, you are an amazing

husband and father. I am sorry for being mean to you earlier. I hated myself more than you" I

apologize. He takes his hands in mine. "I forgive you. I understood that you were hurting. I wanted

to give you space. Even now you nor I killed our baby" Henry admits.


Henry's p.o.v

"When can I hold my babies?" Jacinda asks an attending nurse. "Your babies were born two days

ago. They are very vulnerable and fragile. You can't hold them quite yet. You can hold them in a few

weeks. The hospital has this rule in an attempt to prevent infection. All you can do now is observe

them and talk to them" the nurse advises us.


Time Period: A Flashback

Situation: Avalon's hospitalization and miraculous healing after the battle with Dr. Facilier and The Evil Queen

Regina's p.o.v

I follow closely behind as Rumple carries Avalon's body over the threshold. She is transported on

the gurney to the ER. Anxiously and patiently, we wait for her surgical procedure to be over.


Date: 4-13-2020

Rumple's p.o.v (as both a mortal and immortal)

Emma and Killian's daughter, Spirit resurrected and healed Avalon. I should've went back home to

Belle and our sons immediately after Avalon was discharged from the hospital. Something kept me

here in Storybrooke. I wanted to help Regina with Avalon and Solomon. I had hoped to use this

opportunity to confess my love for her.


Date: 4-14-2020

Rumple's p.o.v

"I love you so much" I tell her in bed. We fell asleep with our clothes on the night before. She kisses

me and I find it hard to resist her touch. We get straight down to "business" again. We make sweet

passionate love. We wash our hands and brush our teeth before we join Avalon and Solomon for

breakfast downstairs. They made breakfast for Regina and me. "Happy birthday to you" Solomon

sings giving me a birthday card. "December twenty first is my birthday" I correct my son.

"I must've gotten your birth dates mixed up" Solomon explains. "I love your birthday card. Lets

pretend my birthday is today. I will take you out for ice cream later on" I bargain with him.

"You are wearing the same clothes that you wore yesterday" Avalon points out. "I know" Regina

laughs nervously.


Rumple's p.o.v

After breakfast time, Solomon and I ran errands. I treated Solomon to ice cream at the local ice

cream parlor. People kept a safe distance away from us. Maybe they didn't want to bother us or

something else. Solomon and I visited my old pawn shop. I used magic to open the door.

Mother and her evil minions stopped partying when they saw us. Mother looked back

and forth between Solomon and me. "I see him in you and vice versa" she mentioned.


Place: Rumple's old pawn shop

Fiona's p.o.v (aka The Black Fairy)

Solomon's pretty brown eyes lite up at the thought that I am his grandma. "Grandma!" Solomon acknowledges me with a

hug. "I am too young to be called grandma. Please call me Mimi" I request nicely. "I love you, Mimi" Solomon proclaims.

I am ready to conquer and control his mind, heart, and soul. Rumple pulls the child away from me. "She is not your grandma.

She is a monster" Rumple warns his son. "I am not a monster. I have changed. I do have a good side if you give me a chance"

I argue on the brink of tears.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Rumple's p.o.v

Her last words are "I am so sorry my son". After I sent her away for good, I felt no remorse. "Papa,

Mimi said she changed. Why did you send Mimi away?" Solomon complains. "I did it for us. Your

grandma is a complex person. Someday you will know the truth" I promise him. Reluctantly,

Solomon helps me to restore my pawn shop.


Place: Maleficent's mansion

Maleficent's p.o.v

Diaval enters the mansion in his raven form. I catch and hold my son and messenger boy in my arms. Lily, my granddaughter Victoria, and me are in awe watching Diaval

turn back into a human. He gives me a little kiss on the cheek. "Guess who is back in town" Diaval pulls our legs. "My friend and former lover, Rumple is back in town"

I guess. "Mom, you are correct. My former sire is indeed back in town" Diaval reaffirms. "You must send Rumple a message for me at once. He is invited over for dinner"

I instruct Diaval. "I saw Rumple with his son Solomon at the pawn shop. He has been spending most of his time with Regina and their kids. He doesn't have any time for us"

Diaval notifies me. "I trust and believe you, Diaval" I admit.


Time Period: A Flashback

Place: Fairytale Land

Event: A Ball at Lady Tremaine's mansion

Anastasia's p.o.v

"Anastasia, please say hello to Dimitri. He lives right next door. He is around your age and single.

I want you to dance with him tonight" mom pressures me. "Alright" I sigh as I lead Dimitri over to the

dance floor. "Anya has new boyfriend" Drizella chants getting underneath my skin. For mother's

sake, I pretend to enjoy my date. "I understand that you are not interested in me. Your mom forced

you to dance with me. I am not looking for a girlfriend. You will never see me again after tonight"

Dimitri bargains. I don't know what possessed me to kiss and hug him. We promised to remain just

only friends from then on.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: A High shool Lunchroom

Anastasia's p.o.v

"Earth to Anya" Dimitri teases sitting down beside me at the lunchtime. "Good afternoon, Dimitri" I

acknowledge him. Even now we are between lovers and friends.

Dimitri's p.o.v continued

The school day ended with Anya leaving me hanging. Anya didn't know if she wanted to be my prom date or not. She promised to contact me later when she made a final decision. Anyhow, she doesn't matter to me at this present moment. I must finish preparing dinner for my parents who are visiting from Narnia.


Susan's p.o.v

My husband, Prince Caspian helps me out of the magical coat closet that is located in my bedroom. "You are absolute gentleman" I compliment my husband. "Well thanks" he smirks. It feels good to be back home, specifically Storybrooke. I trust and believe my siblings will take good care of the kingdom in the absence of Caspian and myself.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: Regina's office

Regina's p.o.v

Rumple has decided to look after the kids while I am working. "You took my land away from me. I

demand for you to give back what rightfully belongs to my husband and me" Susan yells catching

me off guard. "I assume you are Prince Caspian's wife. I am sorry for taking away your land. Even

now my past mistakes are inerasable" I apologize.


Tiana's p.o.v

I try to hold back my vomit as I talk to Regina on the phone. She has been complaining about Prince

Caspian and his wife Susan. Apparently, Regina stole their land which is now Storybrooke from

them many years ago. "Regina, I understand. I am here if you need any help. This is not our first

rodeo or battle. Goodnight and sweet dreams to you, my friend" I end our conversation abruptly.

Nave hears me vomiting in the bathroom and rushes to help me. "We will defeat cancer together.

This is not our first rodeo or battle" he reminds me. He must've eavesdropped on my telephone

conversation with Regina.


Naveen's p.o.v

I offer my sick wife bottled water and a peppermint. She consumes these two items very quickly.

Gently and carefully, I help her back into the bed. "You are an amazing husband and father" Tiana

compliments me. "Please don't die on me. I can't live without you, my sunshine" I plead with her.

"You will always have Raven and my mother Naomi. They will take good care of you in my

absence" she assures me. "I love them, but they are not you" I reinforce. We make love until

we fall asleep in each other's arms.


Place: City Hall-A Conference Room

Tiana's p.o.v continued

"Regina, you stole our land. You violated our degree. You can give back our land or we can banish

you" Susan bargains with Regina. Rumple, Nave, and me are here at this meeting out of support for

Regina. "Just in case you didn't know, I am the town's mayor and queen. It is too late for you to

reclaim your land" Regina argues. Nauseous, I abruptly leave the room to vomit outside. Nave,

Rumple, and Regina care enough to check on me. "Just in case you didn't know, I have cancer" I

inform Regina and Rumple for the very first time. Regina is torn between handling

her personal business and helping me.


Regina's p.o.v

Tiana's cancer crisis served as the perfect distraction away from Susan and Prince Caspian. I didn't care if I left them hanging. My conscience warned they would come after me someday. Anyhow, I visited my adult Henry at his house. I had hope he could "heal" Tiana. Since Henry was the author, he was treated like a god by his peers and me. Henry rejected my request for him to write a chapter where Tiana's cancer didn't exist. He suggested for me to trust the natural process. I was about to tell Henry about my issue with Susan and Prince Caspian when the sheriff called me. I met the sheriff at the music shop where a swat situation was taking place.


Tristan's p.o.v

Violet and Tessa kissed and hugged me goodbye, unrealizing I wouldn't immediately return home from work. Who knew my coworker and former girlfriend Isolde would hold me hostage at our workplace? The music shop had transformed from a welcoming family friendly fun place into a dangerous environment. Isolde hated me because I broke her heart. Violet had replaced her in my life. Isolde had a psychiatric breakdown and she gave me hell. I experienced and endured both physical and verbal abuse. She drugged and sedated me at one point. When I awakened, I discovered myself half-naked and stuck in the back storage room with Isolde. She locked the door on purpose so I wouldn't escape. "Tris, you really did it this time. I have found myself in the family way. I am pregnant. Please don't leave me. The baby is coming" Isolde announced clutching her stomach. I was completely blown away. She must've raped me while I was asleep. The baby was coming so fast that I didn't have time to wrap my mind around the situation. Sadly, Isolde died giving birth to our son named Franco.


Tristan's p.o.v continued

When it was safe, I contacted 911 and the authorities. They rescued Franco and me asap. Isolde's dead body was transported to the morgue.

Tristan's p.o.v continued

I am damaged or simply awakened and shook up. Violet has always wanted to have a son and little brother for Tessa. We have decided to keep Franco instead of giving him away. Franco is a product of my rape (Isolde assaulted me) but I love him for my family's sake.

Anyhow, Ruby (a rape victim and survivor) and her husband Vincent have agreed to babysit Tessa and Franco while Violet and I attend a therapy session with Archie. Violet recommended for us to visit him. I would rather talk to my friends (Francis and Henry), but it is what it is.

"You were recently attacked at your work place" Archie begins our group therapy session. "My now deceased ex girlfriend, Isolde had a psychiatric breakdown. She attacked me and raped me. The security tapes have proven my innocence. The Mayor, the sheriff, and my family also believe me" I reinforce.


Regina's p.o.v

He shows up at my office, unexpectedly and uninvited. He breaks down crying in my arms. "I'm sorry about your friend's situation. Your friend didn't deserve to be violated" I comfort my son. "I'm sorry about your friend's situation" he admits.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: City Hall

Situation: A honoring ceremony for Vera

Vera's p.o.v

Regina invited me to attend a town hall meeting this evening. I never expected to receive an award

for saving Tristan's life. I didn't consider myself to be a hero because the female suspect died

before I could arrest or interrogate her. "Just in case you didn't know, Vera is our new town sheriff.

The late and great Graham Humbert is her dad" Regina reintroduced me to our town people. Was it

reality or my imagination that my dad sat in the audience?


Time Period: A Flashforward- The Evening of Friday June 5, 2020

Place: The Library

Vera's p.o.v

I slam shut Henry's second famous book, "A Change of Seasons and A Twist of Fate". Quickly, I put

the book back on the shelf. My heart is pounding fast. I struggle to catch my breath. A mysterious

man who resembles father helps me to regain my balance . "I got you, sweetheart" he assures me.

"Sir, I am ok" I smile. He kisses my forehead and then walks away. "You took quite a tumble, baby"

my friend and lover, Breonna Knight teases me. Breonna is one of the town's gatekeepers, so called

guardian angels. "A mysterious man helped me" I recall. "I witnessed everything. That man, Dr. Grey

is surely a mystery. I don't know much about him. You should stay away from him" she advises me.

"Happy birthday to you" I sing making Bree blush red. "I am twenty seventh years old" she boasts.


Vera's p.o.v continued

I receive a text message from Regina. Regina wants to see me asap. Hand in hand, Breonna

accompanies me to the Mayor's house. Regina and Tristan await us there. "I know its late, but

Tristan wanted to meet with you" Regina explains. "How may I help you, Mr. Bloom?" I ask Tristan. "I

didn't have a chance to thank you at your honoring ceremony. I thank you for saving my life. You are

a real hero" Tristan praises me. Reluctantly, I accept his compliment.


Vera's p.o.v continued

Breonna and I bid Regina and Tristan goodbye then we head off on our merry way. My eyes are torn

between the ground and the sunset. Breonna can sense my mental and internal turmoil. She gives

me a hug and kiss. " Honey, you saved Tristan's life by answering his 911 call. You are a hero

whether you caught the villian or not" she encourages me. "You are right, Bre" I respond with

wrapping my arms around her waist. "Somebody's reading glasses are on the sidewalk. She or he

must've dropped them on accident" she points out. After much waiting, the owner who is Tristan

appears and claims his glasses. Yet again, he is grateful for my help. Its a good thing that we found

his glasses because he needs them for a card game with his friends.


Place: Drizella and Francis' house

Tristian's p.o.v

"Hello, Mr. Bloom" a bubbly Dizzy greets me at the front door. "Hello, Dizzy" I respond with a smile. Dizzy is the daughter of Drizella and my good friend Francis. "Tristan, Francis must've invited you over for a card game" Drizella assumes. "You are correct, Drew" I smirk. Drew escorts me to the basement where Francis and Henry await me.


Henry's p.o.v

"Hello, Mr. Four Eyes" I knowledge Tristan who is wearing reading glasses. Francis tries to hold

back his laughter. "Even if you're talking trash, we're cool" Tristan dismisses. "I am going to beat you

in Spades" I boast. "Bring it on, Henry" Tristan challenges me. "Please act civil, boys. You are my

friends but I can kick you out of my house at anytime" Francis warns us. Tristan and I promise to

respect each other. Spades gives us an opportunity to discuss real serious deep personal issues.


Henry's p.o.v continued

After I won the card game , I paid a visit to Mulan and Shang's house. In my personal opinion, their house was way too big for both Shay's infant and present future adult self. One of them had to go. Somehow Mulan and Shang were able to manage. I wore my heart on my sleeve. Shay knew this feeling all too well. Shay and I had a brief heart to heart conversation outside. I apologized for playing russian roulette with our lives. I promised I wouldn't write off her or myself.


Regina's p.o.v

I am awakened by somebody banging hard on my front door. Fast asleep, Rumple can barely hear

anything. Sensing trouble is near, I grab my gun from underneath my bed. Avalon and I meet at the

top of the stairs. My daughter overlooks and dismisses the fact that I am carrying a gun. Our

unknown house guest has frightened her more than my gun. I order Avalon to return back to her

room and lock her bedroom door. Obediently, she does what I tell her. Bravely, I confront my

adversary and stalker, Susan who will not stop harassing me. I reach my breaking point and shoot

her on accident or purpose.


Place: The Police Station

Regina's p.o.v

I remember we were fighting over Storybrooke. Susan (Prince Caspian's wife) wanted her land back. I had stolen the land from Prince Caspian and her many years ago. I wasn't

ready to surrender quite yet. Everything that happened after I shot Susan was a blur. Reality struck me when I was locked up. "You are a criminal and not a good queen" I

reprimanded myself.

Place: Still The Police Station

Avalon's p.o.v

She is innocent or maybe not, who knows? "Susan is not dead. She remains at the hospital in critical condition. She and Prince Caspian are planning to press charges" Vera informs my family and me. My heart drops to the floor. Her words have increased my anxiety and uncertainty about the future.

Rumple's p.o.v

"I am the mayor and ruling queen over this town. I don't belong here in jail. I shot Susan out of self defense. I am innocent in this situation" Regina reinforces as if Vera, Avalon, and I don't believe her. "We understand. We trust and believe you, dearie" I assure Regina.


Background: Prince Caspian and Susan gave Regina two options: she can spend the rest of her days behind bars or she could give up all control over the land and remain a free woman. Regina gave all control over the land because she didn't want to leave her family and friends. Prince Caspian and Susan tricked Regina by banishing her to a far away land (Manhattan, New York). Regina couldn't use her magic in Manhattan, New York.


Time Period: A Flashback

Situation: Regina's banishment

Regina's p.o.v

I hear a low and soft meow at my front door. I open the door and spot Drizella's cat Lucifer on the

front porch. I assume Lucifer is lost. He doesn't let me to touch him or take him home. I will not

give up that easily. He sends me on a wild goose chase. Our final stopping point is the border that

separates Storybrooke and the real world.


Place: The Mayor's office

Drizella's p.o.v

Frantically, my family and I looked for Lucifer throughout town. Our pet cat was nowhere in sight. The mayor's office sent us a text message that said somebody crossed over the border. The border separated Storybrooke and the real world. I wondered if Lucifer left Storybrooke by accident. Francis, Dizzy, and Anastasia went back home just in case Lucifer showed up. I visited the mayor's office hoping my mom would provide information about Lucifer.


Time Period: Regina's New Reality

Date: 7-4-2020 (Independence Day)

Place: Regina's apartment in Manhattan, New York

Regina's p.o.v

From my balcony, I can see fireworks lite up the night sky. The Statue of Liberty is barely vincible up ahead. The wind blows my hair with the gentleness of a lover. I miss Rumple especially tonight in which is our wedding anniversary. I remember we were wed when I was pregnant with Avalon nineteen ongoing twenty years ago. A pretty white dove flies right pass me.


Time Period: A Flashback

Place: The Storybrooke- The Mayor's Office

Drizella's p.o.v

While out looking for Lucifer, I received a text message from the mayor's office. The text message read someone had crossover the border separating Storybrooke and the real world. I wondered if Lucifer left Storybrooke by accident. I visited the mayor's office hoping to receive information about Lucifer's whereabouts. I found the door closed in which was strangely weird. I pushed the door open without my mom's permission. Her chair was faced toward me. "Lucifer is missing. I can't find him anywhere. Do you know where he is?" I questioned my mom who was the mayor. The chair turned around and I gasped in shock. My former crush and frenemy Susan had replaced my mother. Lucifer loved it when Susan stroked his fur. He didn't immediately jump into my arms. He preferred her over me. "Where is my mother? What are you doing with my cat?" I snapped at Susan. "I won't tell you anything unless you call me by my nickname" Susan bargained with me. "Lola baby, where is my mother? What are you doing with my cat?" I asked her nicely. "Drew honey, I banished your mom. Your mom had stolen this land Storybrooke from my husband Prince Caspian and me many years ago. Our cat, Lucifer helped my husband and me to get rid of your mom for good" Susan recounted. "Your son and my sister are friends. You should've known better. You are stupid and foolish for banishing my mom" I yelled. "I am in charge now. I will imprison you or do something else worse if you track down your mom" Susan threatened me. "Lola baby, you can keep Lucifer. You and him belong together. I will not bother you anymore. I don't like my mother that much. She is better off in exile" I lied leaving her presence. I couldn't conceal the truth from my family.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: Regina's house-The Garden (specifically the apple trees)

Drew's p.o.v

Francis and I have been taking apples off the trees. We are planning to bake apple pies. "Regina" a familar male voice addresses me. I am startled to see my dad who has returned back from running errands with Dizzy.

Rumple's p.o.v

"Drew, I am sorry for confusing you with your mom. I have been accustomed to seeing her in this garden. The apple trees were her favorite" I apologize. "I understand that you miss her" Drew sympathizes. Francis and the kids take the groceries and picked apples into house. I am glad that I have Drew all to myself. "I told Susan that she could keep Lucifer. I told her that I wouldn't bother her anymore" Drew refreshes my memory. "I know how much you want your mom back. A tiny lie is still a lie or broken vow pertaining to Susan. Eventually she will find out our plans" I warn my daughter.

Time Period: A Flashback

Place: Regina's garden (specifically the apple trees)

Regina's p.o.v (as witnessed and experienced by Drizella)

"I received your text message. You wanted to see me" Drew recalls. I take her hands in mine. My power flows through her body like an electric shock. "Why did you give me your magical powers?" she inquires. "I fear and worry something bad is going to happen to me soon. I want you to have my power just in case" I explain.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: Regina's garden

Drizella's p.o.v

"Before mom was banished, she gave her power to me. Maybe she wanted me to protect Storybrooke in her absence" I recall. "There goes a pretty firebird. The bird is dropping pearls" Dad shows me.

Place: Merlin and Morgana's house

Morgana's p.o.v

I check my jewelry chest and my favorite pearl necklace isn't in there. I am flustered because I remember I put my necklace in the box last night before I went to bed. Merlin notices my face turning bloody red. "Morgana, you are surely heated. Why are you so mad?" he asks me. "I am mad because my favorite pearl necklace is missing" I complain. "Our firebird and little princess Nicole must've stolen your pearl necklace again" he suspects.


Francis' p.o.v

Her loud screams awakened me and half the town. I was taking my usual afternoon nap at the

time. "Francis, Dizzy has disappeared" a frantic Drew alerted me. I crawled out of bed and hunted

down Henry asap. Apparently, Henry didn't learn his lesson from our previous situation. I remember

he had sent all the babies and children including my precious Dizzy to a different realm called The

Canal. Anyhow, our lives crossed paths in the street. I punched him and I didn't care if we were

friends. He didn't hit me back though. "What the hell, Francis?" he inquired. "My daughter Dizzy has

disappeared. It is all your fault" I yelled shaking him. "I swear I had nothing to do with her

disappearance. My hands are clean in this one" Henry confessed.


Drizella's p.o.v

Francis said Henry was innocent concerning our daughter's disappearance. I believed and trusted him. I reshifted my focus and anger toward Susan. Francis, Vera, and Papa warned against taking matters into my own hands. I didn't know if I have been made to be a destroyer or a peacemaker.

Rumple's p.o.v

Dizzy's disappearance was the final straw for Drizella. No matter how many times I overlooked her dark bad side, I saw the fire in Drizella's eyes. She resembled my former evil self. Rebellious and yet careless, a bloodthirsty Drizella went after Susan. My daughter was definitely on a warpath. Her actions created huge ripple effects from City Hall to the streets of Storybrooke where I fought against Prince Caspian and his armies. Prince Naveen, Francis, Tristan, and The Charmings helped me.


Avalon's p.o.v

"Avalon, I am scared" Solomon complains as we approach the border. We are planning to bring our mom back home. "I will protect you" I assure my little brother.

Place: Regina's apartment in Manhattan, New York (The Real World)

Regina's p.o.v

I was writing in my journal and looking after my adopted daughter Dizzy when I heard a low soft knock on my front door. I answered the door expecting to see a girl scout selling cookies. I encountered a teenage girl and her very cute little brother. Their names were Avalon and Solomon. They claimed to be my children. They promised a new beginning for Dizzy and myself.


Rumple's p.o.v

According to Drizella's text message, Susan banished Regina and Dizzy to Manhattan, New York. My precious son Neal aka Baelfire used to reside there. While my crew and I were in engaged in battle with Prince Caspian and his army, Avalon and Solomon crossed over the border. They planned to bring Regina and perhaps Dizzy home. I gave them both my permission and blessing. I had a lot of faith in them. I put a protective spell on them so that no danger would come to them. The arrival of Regina and Dizzy restored order, peace, and joy in Storybrooke. Francis and Drizella were happy to be reunited with their little princess. With Shay's help, Henry wrote or killed off Prince Caspian and his family.


Time Period: Post The Battle With Prince Caspian, Susan, and their army

Drizella's p.o.v

I join mom for a private meeting in her garden. She picks a red apple off an nearby tree. She gives the apple to me as a peace offering. "Drew, I thank you for defending my honor" she begins. "You must want your magical powers back" I assume. "Yes, dear" she chuckles.


Date: 7-21-2020

Place: Hades and Zelena's happy home

Hades's p.o.v

I have heard through the grapevine that the war is over and Regina has reclaimed her title as mayor. Drizella looked after things in Regina's absence. Regina has taken back her magical powers from her daughter. Drizella is currently going through magic power withdrawals. Anyhow, here I am enjoying time with my wife Zelena and our nine month son Midas. We have joined my daughter Morgana and Merlin in celebration of Nicole's tenth birthday.

Hades' p.o.v continued

Morgana is my other precious baby that is my heart. I hand off Midas to Zelena so that Morgana and I can talk privately outside. "Thanks for coming to Nicole's party, Dad" Morgana thanks me. "Your mom, Nicole's grandma should've been here" my voice cracks with emotion. I remember my ex wife, Persephone died giving birth to Morgana.

Hades' p.o.v

"I understand that you lost my mom in childbirth. I forgive you for being distant" Morgana admits. "I apologize for sending you away. I watched over you from afar. Your adoptive dad, King Arthur's dad was surely cruel to you. You deserved better" I apologized.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Date: 7-29-2020

Place: Storybrooke-The Hospital

Situation: Penelope aka Persephone is a labor and delivery nurse working along side Dr. Whale

Penelope's p.o.v

Dancing around an uncertain future, an art of giving birth. Nevertheless a bloody show, an act of bereavement and longsuffering. My self-sacrifice was for the greater good or for my own betterment. Hope in the absence of joy, an act of bereavement and longsuffering. I will reach my greatest potential with or without you.

Penelope's p.o.v

Witnessing life enter this world has resurrected my memories and flashbacks. I remember I carried a baby girl once, but I died in childbirth. After a long work day, I am ready to go home. My friend and coworker, the infamous mysterious Dr. Grey walks me home. We walk pass a ghost, perhaps my former lover, Hades on the street.

Hades' p.o.v

My heart wouldn't let me walk pass her and say nothing at all. "Your name is not Penelope. Your name is Persephone. The Spring Goddess, Demeter is your mom. You died giving birth to our daughter Morgana. The author, Henry Mills who is my nephew must've resurrected you" I refreshed her memory. "Hades!" she exclaimed embracing me. "I gave Morgana up for an adoption, but she is mine now and forevermore. She is married and has a ten year old daughter named Nicole" I informed Persephone. "Penelope, your Persephone, is my coworker. We are just only friends. We are not romantically involved with each other. She is all yours" Dr. Grey told me upfront. "You are so creepy. I don't understand why you and her are friends" I insulted him. Silently, Dr. Grey retreated to the shadows of my mind. Persephone resented me for judging Dr. Grey harshly. I barely knew that man. What I felt about him was based off gossip. It was rumored that he was the reincarnated version of Graham and his daughter was the sheriff.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Date: 8-2-2020

Situation: A morning run with Drizella and Jacinda

Morgana's p.o.v

I love feeling the warmth of the sun on my face. I also love running with my friends. "Earth to Morgana" Drew breaks through my dream world. "I am sorry for blanking out" I apologize. "Drew and I understand that you have a lot on your mind. You are a strong warrior" Jacinda empathize. Jacinda abruptly leaves Drew and me because she must check on Tiana who has cancer.

Place: Henry's writing studio

Jacinda's p.o.v

When I arrive home, I ignore my crying babies and head right upstairs to Henry's writing studio. I trust Lucy to take care of them. Henry who is experiencing a writer's block is caught off guard by my presence. "My friend, Tiana has cancer. She is dying. You must save her life. She deserves to stay around especially for Raven's 20th birthday in October" I reinforce with tears in my eyes. "Like you, my mom requested for me to save Tiana's life. Maybe it is her time to die. I suggest for you to trust the natural process" Henry advises me. "I know you can't resurrect dead people. You have never said if you can or can't heal people" I recall. "I can heal Tiana by writing off her fate. It would appear unfair if I saved just only her life. I hate playing God" Henry explains. "Even now it is a life for a life or not. I will seek other alternatives" I close out our conversation.


Place: Tiana's hospital room

Spirit's p.o.v (as a nurse working at the hospital)

I walk in on Naveen laying down beside Tiana in the bed. An emotional Raven, Jacinda, and Naomi surrounds them. "Please heal me. Please deliver me from this affliction, cancer" a dying Tiana begs me. We hold hands and my power flows through her veins. Her cancer is completely annihilated, cease to exist. I experience a fainting spell in the meantime. Big strong masculine arms, belonging to my dad or someone else, lift me up off the floor. He carries me somewhere, perhaps home.

Killan's p.o.v

I received an automatic health alert text message that read Spirit fainted again at the hospital. I rushed to the hospital where I discovered my unconscious daughter in Tiana's room. Carefully and gently, I carried Spirit home. Everyone bid us farewell.

Place: The Jones' house-Spirit's bedroom

Emma's p.o.v

I watch Killian lay Spirit down on her bed. Usually, Spirit quickly regains consciousness. Somehow this time is different. Maybe her body has given out for good. Ellie places her teddy bear right beside Spirit. Ellie believes the teddy bear will bring Spirit goodluck. I don't want to burst Ellie's bubble therefore I stay silent. Killian cares enough to play along with her. Ellie is a very sensitive child because she has Down Syndrome. We strive to protect and perserve her innocence at all cost.


Place: The Police Station

Vera's p.o.v

Sparkle barks excitedly when Breonna appears with dinner. Breonna brought herself and me takeout meals from Grannys. She pulls up a chair next to my desk. We pray and share one long passionate kiss before we eat. "Tiana doesn't have cancer anymore. Spirit healed Tiana at the hospital. Spirit lost so much power that her body gave out. Killian and Emma are struggling to wake her up" my girlfriend informs me. "I thank you for the information. You are a wonderful source" I compliment her.

Breonna's p.o.v

I wanted to spend the night at the police station with Vera, but I couldn't keep my dad waiting. I hugged and kissed Vera goodnight. Vera's spirit animal, a dog named Sparkle, led me to the exit door. I encountered Mister Graham's doppleganger, Mr. Grey, outside. Mr. Grey gave me goosebumps. I said hello to him anyway. He gave me a warm kind greeting in return. He thought Vera and I made a cute couple. I blushed crimson red and laughed in response to him. My father Will didn't mind if I came home late.

Will Scarlet's p.o.v (he is Breonna's dad)

Breonna walked through the front door and I embraced her. "Welcome home, Love" I greeted her. "Thanks, Dad" she smiled melting my heart. I helped her into a chair at the dinner table. "I cooked dinner for us. Please eat up" I invited her. Between bites, Breonna told me about her long work day and date with Vera. Bree will always remain my ex wife Marianne's legacy and my unstolen gift.


Date: 8-12-2020

Place: City Hall- Regina's office

Regina's p.o.v

Morning brought Marianne's ex husband Will Scarlet to my office. I remember Robin had stolen Marianne from Will many years ago. Breonna was a little girl at the time. I assured Will that his daughter Breonna wasn't breaking any rules by dating the sheriff aka Vera. Vera and Breonna could date for as long as their personal issues didn't interfere with their jobs. Will bumped into Emma on his way out of my office. "Hello troublemaker" Emma acknowledged Will. Will wasn't offended by her words. He kept on his merry way. "What brings you to my office?" I shifted Emma's focus. "Spirit is still in a coma. I remember when Spirit healed Avalon. Spirit's power is probably flowing through Avalon's veins. I am sure Avalon can revive Spirit" Emma explained. "Avalon is my secretary. You're not touching or stealing my heart" I protested. Against my wishes, Avalon sacrificed her life for Spirit.


Place: The Jones'-Spirit's bedroom

Avalon's p.o.v

My heart bleeds for my friend who is in an unconscious state. She is Sleeping Beauty in this world where time stands still. I squeeze her hand very tightly. I transfer my power over to her. She becomes coherent immediately. I feel dizzy and lightheaded, perhaps on the brink of death. I dread fainting on her bed or bedroom floor. My angel of mercy, Spirit, rescues me.

Time Period: A Flashback

Place: Regina's office

Situation: Avalon's decision to help Spirit

Regina's p.o.v

"Avalon is my secretary. You are not touching or stealing my heart" I protested. "I know how much you love Avalon. I am not taking her away from you permanently. My family and I will need her services temporarily. She will be okay" Emma assured me. "I want to help your daughter and my friend Spirit" Avalon volunteered before I gave her permission. Reluctantly, I surrendered all control over her. Avalon was nearly twenty years old. She had a right to make her own decisions. We hugged each other goodbye. Solomon provided joy and comfort for me in her absence.


Morgana's p.o.v

Merlin and I encounter the Mayor aka my Aunt Regina and her son Solomon in the waiting room. "Hello, Aunt Regina. Why do you look so sad?" I wonder. "Avalon has healed Spirit. Emma said via a telephone call that Avalon experienced a fainting spell" Aunt Regina updates me. "I thank you for the update. Merlin and I have been trying to have a second baby. We are hoping Dr. Whale will have good news for us today" I share with her.

Morgana's p.o.v continued

"Hello, Merlin and Morgana. Please sit down" Dr. Whale greets us in a solemn tone. My stomach is in knots as Merlin helps me into a chair. He takes a seat himself. I wonder if he is as nervous and anxious as me. "A second pregnancy is unlikely or can be fatal because you have incompatible blood types. Your blood types are a dangerous combination" Dr. Whale begins. His words break my heart that has longed for a second child. "Morgana and I share a ten year old daughter named Nicole. I don't understand how we were able to have her if we have incompatible blood types" Merlin mentions to Dr. Whale. "You and your wife were lucky back then" Dr. Whale assumes.

Morgana's p.o.v continued

Hand in hand, Merlin and me approach Zelena's front door. Zelena and my dad have been looking after Nicole in our absence. Merlin rings the doorbell and Zelena who is holding her son Midas answers the door. "Hello Merlin and Morgana. How was your doctor appointment?" my stepmother asks us. Before Merlin or myself can answer her, a joyful Nicole embraces us. We forget about our infertility issues briefly. I talk to Zelena and my dad in a private room while Merlin plays with Nicole. "I appreciate Dr. Whale, but his words broke my heart. He said a second pregnancy is unlikely or can be fatal because we have incompatible blood types. Merlin and I have decided to stop trying for a second child because it is too risky" I share with them. Dad and Zelena embrace me as a way to express their sympathy. They know how much we wanted a second child. I notice a tiny baby bump underneath Zelena's clothes. "You are pregnant. I can see your tiny baby bump" I point out. "Midas was born in October of last year. He is about turn one, but he is going to be a big brother. Your dad and me were planning to tell you eventually" Zelena reveals. Dad kisses her right in front of me. Even if she is blossoming, I am content with what I have been given.


Date 8-17-2020

Event: A Town Hall Meeting-Spirit's honoring ceremony

Regina's p.o.v

"Please come to the stage, Spirit" I request nicely. Nervously, Spirit approaches the podium. Avalon who continues to be on the mend, presents Spirit with an award. Spirit is totally caught off guard by the huge honor because she has never been recognized before. The audience including her own family claps loudly and proudly. "This special award is for you, Spirit. On behalf of Storybrooke, I thank you for your service. Your healing powers have saved many lives" I praise her. "You are welcome and thank you" Spirit remarks. She takes her seat and the town hall meeting resumes. I catch up with a super glowing Zelena afterwards. "You appear tired. You should go home and rest" she suggests. My eyes fall on a tiny baby bump underneath her clothes. "I am pregnant with my second child. I am due in April" she informs me. "I am going to be an auntie again for the third or fourth time!" happily, I exclaim.

Date: Still 8-17-2020

Rumple's p.o.v

Patiently, I wait for my family outside City Hall. "Papa!" Solomon squeals leaving the building with Regina and Avalon. I gather my little prince up in my arms. He rests his head on my chest. I hand him off to Avalon so that I may talk to Regina privately. "Regina Baby I love you but I have to go" I tell her upfront.

Place: The Edge of All Realms aka the Afterlife

Belle's p.o.v

Rumple exits time bubble and we exchange one long passionate kiss. Hand in hand, we cross over the bridge leading to our cottage. Neal and Gideon are busy with their own private worlds. Only Rumple matters to me at this moment. He holds the front door open for me. We collapse on the couch. "OH, my sweet Belle. I am sorry for delaying my return. Storybrooke especially Regina wouldn't let me go" Rumple apologizes. "Rumple, I understand. The magic crystal ball allowed me to witness everything you experienced in Storybrooke" I drop on my husband. "I bet you resent me for sleeping with Regina" Rumple assumes. "I did see you and Regina have sex. I forgive you" I admit. "Although Regina and I share children, our sexual intercourse means nothing to me" Rumple reinforces as if I didn't believe him. "You are home and mine now. I love you. I have a gift for you in our bedroom" I seduce him. It doesn't take Rumple long to figure out what I want.


Time Period: The Present Reality-8/24/2020

Place: The Police Station

Regina's p.o.v

Among all places, I visit the police station during my morning stroll through town. Loud feminine laughter greets me at the front door. I catch Breonna and Vera reading "Fifty Shades of Gray". I am distracted briefly by Vera's dog Sparkle. "Hello, sweet girl" I acknowledge Sparkle as I pat her fur. Sparkle loves it when I pat her fur. Breonna runs out of the door before I can confront her about missing work. Breonna is one of the town's gatekeepers aka border control police officers. I shift my focus back onto Vera who is in a hurry to put the book away. "I wonder if my father's doppelganger, The Mysterious Dr. Grey, is really Christian Grey" she jokes in an attempt to break the ice. "I thank you for the little icebreaker, but you should get back to work" I respond kindly. Her hug provides some comfort for my broken heart. I don't know how I can live in a world where my beloved is gone and certain people suffer worse than me.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Morgana's p.o.v

My stepmother Zelena unlocks and opens the front door for me. "Goodbye, sweetheart. Thanks for sharing your heart with me" she farewells me. "You are welcome" I smile. From the front porch, She observes me getting into my car. I wave goodbye and blow her a kiss. While driving home, I am startled by a mysterious and harmless black panther crossing the street.

Time Period: The Present Reality

Morgana's p.o.v

"I am sorry for my absence. I am sorry for making you worry. I have been looking for my older brother, Sai The Panther" Chadwick apologized. "The author, Henry Mills will be able to help you" I assured him.


In about the year 1824 or so, years ago two little panthers were deserted by their mother in one of the forests of Ashanti (now Ghana). They were too young to get food for themselves, and would probably have died had they not been found by a passing traveler, and taken by him to the palace as a present to the king.

Here they lived and played happily for several weeks. One day the elder and larger, whose name was Sai, gave his brother, in fun, such a dreadful squeeze that, without meaning to, he suffocated him.

This frightened the king, who did not care to keep such a powerful pet about him, and he gave him away to Mr. Hutchison, an English gentleman, who was a sort of governor for the English traders settled in that part of Africa. Mr Hutchinson arranged to have Sai shipped to England.

Chadwick's p.o.v

"Now that I have told you my story, you understand my situation. You can probably help me. You can locate my brother and reunite us" I assume. "I understand your situation, but I can't help you" Henry burts my bubble. "Why not?" I pout.

Morgana's p.o.v

Angry, Chadwick storms out of Henry's house. I follow him outside where he falls apart in my arms. "I am a dumbie for believing Henry could help me. I wish I knew why everything can't work in my favor for once" Chadwick vents. He makes my eyes to fill up with tears. "Even now I feel sorry for you and myself" I cry. Although I have a family that cares about me, I miss my biological mother. I can sense and understand Chadwick's urgency to reconnect with his brother Sai. Something within me says to pursue the subject further. "I have cancer, specially Colon Cancer" Chadwick hits me with the force of an avalanche. We drown each other in a river of tears.


Place: The Library

Idris' p.o.v (aka Bagheera in human form)

I am so careless and desperate for answers that I knock books off shelves. I cause a huge commotion. My friend and former caretaker, Penelope aka Persephone assists me in putting the books back on the shelves. We dismiss our peers' judgmental stares. "You are looking for information about your sons, Sai and Chadwick" Persephone gathers from reading my mind. "The Library doesn't have any information on them" I complain. "You should visit Mayor Mills. She keeps track of families here in Storybrooke" she recommends.

Place: City Hall- The Mayor's Office

Idris' p.o.v

Persephone accompanies me to City Hall. I meet Mayor Mills and her daughter Avalon who is also her secretary for the first time. "My human name is Idris. I am Bagheera, The Great and Wise Black Panther in a different lifetime. Sai and Chadwick are my sons. I have been looking for them. Do you have any information on them?" I rest my case.

Place: The Hospital

Penelope's p.o.v (aka Persephone)

Downtrodden, Idris visits me at the hospital. "I am so sorry for your loss" I comfort Idris. "My son Chadwick is distant and not dead" he corrects me. "I am sorry for assuming your son was dead" I apologize. "This is not what she wanted but we'll live" he assures me. He disappears into the sea of patients. Hades and a redheaded woman who appears to having a miscarriage captures my attention.


Scene: A Hospital Room-An Ultrasound Test

Hades' p.o.v

I am grateful for Persephone's help, but my main priority is Zelena and our unborn baby. Unfortunately Dr. Whale can't detect a fetal heartbeat. Even if we cry, we can't revive our baby.

Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: The Hospital Day Care and Tutoring Center

Persephone's p.o.v

My ex-husband, Hades catches me picking up five year old Taylor from the hospital day care and tutoring center. He completed his homework and patiently waited for me here. Besides his teacher and me, he is also a good little boy for Hades. They become quite fond of each other.

Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: The Hospital Day Care and Tutoring Center

Hades' p.o.v continued

"You left me in quite a rush. I wonder if I am your son's father" I whisper to Penelope aka Persephone. "You are not Taylor's father" she responds quickly. I look around for him who stolen her heart from me many years go. "Adonis is Taylor's father, but he returned back to Aphrodite" Penelope admits. "Do you love him?" I ask her. "I love Adonis, but his heart will never belong to me" her voice cracks with emotion. Her words pull at my heartstrings. I prepare to call our daughter Morgana. "Morgana doesn't know about you, Taylor, or Zelena's miscarriage. She deserves to know the truth. I am planning to contact her right now" I inform Persephone. "You can contact Morgana. Taylor and I will wait for her to show up" she permits me. We wave hello to Regina, Avalon, and Solomon. I assume they are planning to visit Zelena.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Regina's p.o.v

Her greatest joy and deepest pain, our common loss. Laying motionless as if tomorrow will never come, a stillborn dream. The crimson bleeding heart, endless tears of an angel, an unwanted and unexpected spontaneous miscarriage.
