So guys. This is my first ever post on Fanfiction! Woo! I hope you guys like this story. Please review? I guess that's what it's called? Anywho! Enjoy! :D
I watch as two girls stand side by side. It took me a second to realise those girls were Nova and me. But that's all I know. I try and turn around, take in my surroundings, but I'm frozen. Only able to look at the girls, I mean us, I wait for something to happen. Then, as if brought by my thoughts, a massive purple cloud came tumbling over the far hills. I watch the evil cloud grow closer, waiting for us to run. But we don't. Not even a change in our facial expressions. With the cloud inches away, "I" turn to "Nova".
"See you on the other side!" I say with an evil grin. With those words, the cloud is upon them.
My eyes fly open when a door opens, causing an alarm to go off. When I'm fully awake, I recognize the alarm to be small bells. Looking around, I don't recognize anything. Without Nova in sight, I follow the direction of the bells. I push back a curtain and find Snow White standing in front of me looking at a display case. I make a face and do a 360. A cupcake store? Really? This has Nova written all over it!
I must have made a noise because Snow White looks up. Not knowing what to do, I walk over to the cash register.
"Hello?"
"Good Morning! I'm Mary Margaret. I noticed that you have just opened this cute little cupcake shop and I couldn't resist popping in. I know I shouldn't really be buying cupcakes, but I just couldn't stop myself."
I open and close my mouth before holding up a finger.
"One second." I then run back the way I came, opening every door.
"Nova!" I whisper.
"Destiny?"
I open what looks to be the kitchen and find Nova standing there with a 'Kiss the Chef' apron on. I bite my lip.
"I didn't know you could bake." I mock.
Nova frowns. "Oh my god your hair!"
"What do you mean?" My hand jumps to my hair and sure enough it's about 4 inches shorter then it was in the Enchanted Forest.
"Oh my!" I whisper.
"I like it!" Nova smiles, running her hand through my now short hair. She then looks around the kitchen. "Where are we?"
I grin. "Where else? Storybrooke!"
Nova's eyes widen, taking in the new information.
"Oh my gosh! We actually made it? And we can remember everything?"
I take a bow.
"You're welcome! Before the curse, I put a spell on us, making us remember."
"Amazing!" Nova looks around the kitchen, full of cupcakes and empty pans.
"We have a Cupcake Shop!"
"I know." I groan. Then I gasp. "I almost forgot! Snow White is in the store. But she says her name is now Mary Margaret?"
"Mary Margaret? Does that mean everyone's name is changed? " Nova asks, taking off her apron.
"That's my guess. That means before we go out there and introduce ourselves, we need new names. Have you got any ideas?"
Nova bounces up and down. "Oh! Oh! Can I be called Glitter? Pleassee? It'd be so cool," She begs.
"No!" I roll my eyes. "We need to be able to blend in! How about Star? It's still a bit weird but not as weird as Glitter. You should be able to kind of fit in this world."
Nova puts her finger on her chin. "I like it! Now what about you? Oh! Can we be sisters?"
"I already know my name. It's Kailee. And sure. But I get to choose the last name!"
Nova rolls her eyes. "Fine but don't pick anything stupid."
"Jones. We're Kailee and Star Jones." I point my finger at her as she opens her mouth. "And don't give me any crap about it."
Nova throws her hand to her forehead dramatically.
"Oh Killian! How it pains me so to bare your last name! If only it could be true that I was your little ol' wife. We could be pirates together and sail off into the sunset!"
I reach out and grab at her, but she runs around the kitchen singing. I grab the closest thing and chuck it.
"Destiny loves the pirate! Destiny loves the pirate! Destiny loves-" Nova drops to the floor and moans. "Really? A spatula?! Wait how do I know what this is? What is a spatula?"
I roll my eyes and stick out my hand, pulling her up.
"I guess we know more than we thought about this world. Must be a curse perk!" I shrug.
Nova ties her apron back on, dusting off invisible flour.
"How exciting! I know things I don't even know I know!"
I roll my eyes at her excitement.
"Hopefully you can cook better than you could in the Enchanted Forest. I don't think our customers will be too happy with food poisoning."
"My cooking wasn't that bad. It was one time. I'm sorry I forgot to cook the chicken and just put it into the soup. Salmonella is a lot worse than I thought." Nova smiled attempting to look innocent.
Quickly her smile disappeared as a look of realisation washed over her face.
"Snow White!"
It then clicked. I had left our first customer in the shop alone. This wasn't the best start to our business.
I let out a sigh.
"Okay, you go out there and watch the shop. Serve customers, if you really have to, bake cupcakes. I am going to go and find out more on this curse and who everyone is."
She frowned. "Fine, you go explore and leave me here with the evil contraptions and the shiny sprinkles."
Maybe this wasn't the best idea. Firstly she'd burn the building down and I'd probably come back to a pile of ash with hundreds and thousands in the mix.
I exit the kitchen but instead of following Nova to the front, I look back. I see three doors. Luckily one had an exit sign above it. I waste no time getting out of the hallway and outside. I honestly have no idea where I'm going or where I am. Mindlessly I walk down the enclosed street and onto the actual path that leads down to the main road.
There isn't really anywhere I'm trying to get to, seeing as I don't know the town, nor the identities of these people. I only know who they are in the Enchanted Forest, not their Storybrooke counterparts. I aimlessly walk down the pavement, seeing various shops and a few people I recognised but had never really spoke to in the Enchanted Forest let alone here.
I try to decide which shop would have the most people in it and the likelihood of someone I knew. I finally decided on the diner as I could see multiple people inside it and at least there, I could get food. I don't plan on taking my chances with Nova's cooking.
As I enter the quaint building, I recognised nearly everyone in the room, but only one of them I am sure knows my name before the curse and this way I could see whether she knows the Storybrooke me or the real me from the Enchanted Forest.
I waltz over to her, trying to pick the correct words to say that'd make me seem the least crazy.
"Do you know my name?"
Well done Destiny, you seem totally normal and not the least bit crazy.
"Umm… No I don't. I don't know you. Sorry. I'm Ruby," Red smiled. Her name change is kind of understandable.
"I'm Kailee. I own the cupcake shop down the road with my sister," I said, trying to fit in as a normal Storybrooke citizen. Not that any of the actual residences were normal- not that they know that either.
She let out a soft laugh.
"It's nice to meet you Kailee. My Granny owns the diner, so I work here for minimum wage."
I smile.
"Well that's nice."
I look around the room and take note of all the people I know. The Dwarfs, Jiminy Cricket and a couple fairies. Like a switch, everyone froze due to the door swinging open. In comes Regina, her icy glare beginning to sweep the diner before settling on me. Her eyebrows furrow in confusion as she makes her way towards me.
"I'm not sure I know you," She says with a sickeningly fake smile. "I'm Regina. I'm the Mayor here so you can call me Mrs. Mayor."
I reach my hand out with a smile as real as her's.
"Well, Regina, I'm Kailee. My sister and I just moved here. We own the Cupcake Shop at the end of the street."
"Oh how…" She pauses, smiling again. "Sweet."
I nod at her and then turn, waving at Ruby who is standing still, mouth slack. I could feel Regina's glare boring into my skull. Opening the door, I spin on my heel, resting my arm against the glass pane.
"It was nice meeting you," I smiled cockily. "Regina."
I leave the diner with a smirk forming on my lips. This could be fun! And to think. I have 28 more years of this life to have fun before things get interesting!
