Happy New Year! And welcome to the sequel to Hope! I hope you guys enjoy this and are ready for season 2. I know I am and now I know how to get the dialogue as close to the show as possible. I've got the transcripts on the wikia! Anyways, as a side note, this season for Hope will be focusing on friendship and keeping her family together. And if anyone's confused later, I support Henry/Grace so that will come into play sort of. Leave a review and enjoy Faith!


I opened my eyes as the purple smoke faded, my eyes picking up the particles of the smoke. Dang heightened senses! I thought as Snow and Charming's arms loosened around me.

"What's happening?" Snow asked. I looked up at Charming.

"Let's find out." He answered as the two released me. Snow held onto Charming's hand and draped an arm across my shoulders.

"You have quite a lot of explaining to do." She smiled. I giggled,

"I know but I don't need you to tell me what happened the nine months before the Curse. I was always watching you even though you couldn't see me." It was true, I did watch them and the rest of my family after I died and I saw everything in my curse when I watched the episode. My eyes widened. It's been a year since I made my wish, the premiere of the show in whatever universe I was in, though Emma's birthday was still a month away. I shook it off as we approached Red and Granny, hiding behind Snow to surprise them. Red pulled away from Granny and whispered in awe,

"Snow?" Snow smiled and hugged Red tightly while Granny hugged Charming when Red's eyes landed on me. "Hope..." She whispered as she quickly switched with Granny and hugged Charming for a second before hugging me tightly.

"Red!" I smiled as Granny's eyes landed on me.

"You're alive!" The older woman smiled. I laughed,

"I can't be killed that easily." I heard a voice say,

"Your Highness?" I turned and gasped as the dwarves embraced Snow. Grumpy suddenly noticed me. I grinned at him. "Little Rose?" He whispered. I giggled and ran to the dwarves. All seven of them hugged me tightly.

"We thought you were gone!" Sneezy smiled before he sneezed. I giggled.

"Just like I told Red, I can't be killed that easily." Grumpy chuckled lightly as the eight of us broke away.

"The Curse...it's broken?" Grumpy asked.

"It appears so." Charming said as he clasped hands with Grumpy.

"So what do we do now?" Red asked. Snow smiled,

"Now...I find my daughter."

"So, it's true..." Emma's voice said. Snow and Charming turned around while I walked up to stand beside them. In front of us were Emma and Henry. Apprehensively, Snow reached out and touched Emma's cheek. She smiled at Emma and hugged her tightly, whispering,

"You found us." Charming followed, hugging Emma as well. I smiled and walked over beside Henry, slinging an arm across his shoulders while he rapped an arm around my waist. I was taller than him by only a little bit so it was natural.

"Grandpa?" Henry smiled. Snow laughed as Charming smiled,

"Yeah, kid, I suppose so." He broke away from his wife and daughter and hugged his grandson. I smirked,

"Aren't you forgetting the only living cousin?" Snow, Charming and Henry laughed, with Charming and Henry pulling me into their hug.

"She did it;"Henry smiled, "she saved you." Snow smiled as she pulled back.

"She saved all of us."

"I...no..." Emma protested.

"Uh, then why are we still here?" Grumpy asked.

"That,my friend, is an excellent question." Charming stated. I rolled my eyes.

"Geez Charming, couldn't you have a better answer?" I asked sarcastically. Charming gave me a glare but I could see him barely fighting a smile. Sneezy sneezed,

"What was that smoke?"

"Who did this?" Doc asked.

"What was that smoke?" Bashful asked.

"And why?" Sleepy asked.

"And what was that smoke?" Happy asked.

"Magic." I answered at the same time as another voice. I turned as Blue approached. She smiled at me before continuing,

"It's here. I can feel it." I nodded,

"Me too." Henry's eyes widened.

"Magic? In Storybrooke?" He gasped, "But you're the Blue Fairy. Do something magical." Blue smiled,

"It's not that simple, Henry. No wand, no Fairy Dust, matters are complicated now." Henry turned to me.

"What about you Hope?" I shook my head.

"You saw how I was under the Curse, Henry. Even with magic in Storybrooke, it'll take me some time to adjust and not pass out by using a big sure of my magic." I explained.

"Let's go to the person responsible for bringing it; the Queen." Grumpy suggested. The other dwarves nodded and agreed. Emma shook her head,

"No wait. It wasn't Regina." My eyes widened.

"It was 'Stilskin!" Emma nodded,

"He took the potion. It has to be."

"Wait what potion?" Charming asked.

"The one made from yours and Mary Margaret's hair." Emma explained. Charming smacked his forhead.

"That's why he wanted the hair from me and wanted me to put it in Maleficent!" He exclaimed. We began to walk, Emma leading the way, Snow and Charming to her left and Henry and me to her right along with Red, Granny, Blue and the dwarves behind us.

"Is there anything you wanna ask us?" Snow asked, "I mean, you must have questions."

"The only questions I have are for Mr. Gold-Why did he double cross me, and what did he do to this town?" Emma stated, not even looking at her parents.

"Um...shouldn't we talk about-it,first?" Snow asked.

"What?" Emma asked, still not turning.

"Us?" Snow asked, "Your life, everything?"

"Can we do everything, maybe, later?" Emma asked, "Like, with a glass of wine? Or several bottles..." I laughed, slinging an arm across Henry's shoulders again. Henry smiled up at me and I smiled back.

"I know it's a lot to take in, for all of us." Charming said.

"Understatement." I whispered. Ignoring me, Snow added,

"And we don't wanna push, but we've waited for this moment for so long-"

"Yeah, so have I!" Emma interuppted, stepping forward and turning around to face her parents, "I've thought about this moment my entire life! I've imagined who you might be. But of all the scenarios I concocted, my parents being...I-I just need a little time. That's-that's all." I could hear a commotion coming but I wasn't sure what it was but it put me on edge.

"Snow..." Charming said when suddenly a mob ran past.

"What the heck?!" I cried when Jiminy ran up. It was weird for me to see him as a human and not the cricket I was used to.

"There you are!" He cried, "Come with me, I need your help. Dr. Whale's whipped everyone into a frenzy; they're going to Regina's house; they're gonna kill her!"

"Great, let's watch." Grumpy said. I glared at the dwarf.

"Grumpy!" I cried. The dwarf shrugged at me.

"No!" Jiminy protested, "No, we cannot stoop to her level. No matter who she is or what's she's done, killing her is wrong." I nodded,

"Jiminy's right, as usual." Henry nodded,

"Yeah." He turned to Emma and pleaded, "Please! She's still my mom." Emma turned to Snow.

"We have to stop them." She said.

"If the Blue Fairy and Hope are right and magic is here, Regina could have her powers back." Charming said, "They could be marching into a slaughter." He shared a look with Snow and nodded. We all took off running.


When we arrived at Regina's house, Emma faced Henry and me.

"You two stay here." She instructed. I crossed my arms.

"You do know that I've stood against Regina and won more than once." I said. Henry nodded,

"It's true. She's taken down my mom in the war with her magic. They were some of my favorite battle scenes to read." I smiled,

"Thanks Hen." Henry's nose wrinkled at the nickname. I laughed, "Alright I'm sorry, I won't call you that." Henry shook his head.

"It's fine." He said. Emma smiled but it faded and she instructed,

"Stay here please." I sighed,

"Fine, I'll stay back and protect Henry in case someone gets any ideas since she's his adopted mom." Emma nodded and headed forward with Snow and Charming. Red came up and stood beside us. "What, you're here to make sure I don't pass out?" I sarcastically asked, a smile on my lips. Red chuckled,

"Just making sure you're fine." I smiled and looked at Henry.

"So were mine and Regina's battles were your favorite battles?" I asked. I only battled her a few times once Blue's training with me had progressed. Henry nodded,

"You were so brave and strong, always convinced you could win and protect your family even when everything counted against you, skill, size and most importantly age. You were the youngest hero in the group and had so much heart and soul...you were my hero." I smiled down at him and hugged him tightly.

"Aw Henry!" I smiled, "You are so sweet." He hugged me back tightly. "I'm so glad your my best friend." I whispered. Henry smiled against me.

"Me too." He whispered. Red was smiling at us when I heard the crowd part. I turned my head as Snow, Charming and Emma came, pulling Regina behind them.

"Come on kids." Emma said and we followed the group to the jail.


Once there, Charming put Regina in a cell and locked the door.

"So I'm a prisoner now?" Regina asked.

"If the Curse is broken, why didn't we go back?" Charming asked. Regina smirked,

"Because there's nothing to go back to. That land is gone."

"We should get to Gold." Snow said and we left but as we did, I sensed Regina trying to do magic but failing.

"Her magic doesn't work here well, does it?" I asked. Snow shook her head,

"Not yet." Emma pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

"Who're you calling?" Henry asked.

"Ruby, so she can watch you two." Emma said. I groaned,

"Emma, I'm physically 14 in a week, technically 43 in a week. I don't need Red to watch me again!" Emma raised an eyebrow. "When Snow first moved in with the dwarves, she left me with Red while she went to get a potion and then later went to meet Charming. She didn't return for a long time so I had to stay with Red for awhile." I explained. Snow looked down, slightly guilty. I placed a hand on her arm and smiled at her to reassure her as she met my eyes. She smiled and nodded.

"You may be technically older but you are still a kid." Emma said as she hung up, "I'd rather not have you deal with Gold yet." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair when the wind blew past me and I shivered. I closed my eyes and summonded my magic. Soft pink smoke surrounded me as my outfit changed. I opened my eyes and the smoke cleared revealing a long sleeved soft pink shirt with a jean jacket, jeans and my boots. White fingerless gloves covered my hands and I had a white headband in my hair, the stem of my soft pink rose stuck through it. I groaned slightly and wobbled only to have Snow, Charming, Henry and Emma steady me.

"And that is why you should go with Ruby." Charming said, "Your magic makes you weak if you use it." I sighed,

"Fine but I'm not letting you guys coddle me just because I get weak using only a little bit of my magic. It's in my blood and will die down eventually like it did last time."

"Hopefully." Snow added quietly. I rolled my eyes as Red's care pulled up. Henry helped me in and I tuned out as Emma talked to Red. Finally, she said,

"Keep them safe, Ruby." Red nodded and drove off.


Once we arrived at Granny's, Red and Henry helped me up and get me in. Once inside, Granny came up and fussed,

"Oh you poor girl, don't tell me you used magic already?" I sighed,

"I had to Granny, I was cold." Granny sighed.

"Stubborn girl." She muttered. Henry and I went to our corner booth so I could relax and recharge. God I sound like an electronic device. I thought with a groan. Suddenly, a bell went off. I shifted and saw none other then Gretel, Hansel and Grace run in.

"Hope!" Grace cried when she saw me and the three ran over and came into the booth. "What happened?" Grace asked as she sat next to Henry, Hansel next to her and Gretel next to me with me next to Henry.

"I used my magic and made myself dizzy." I answered. Hansel groaned,

"Hope! What part of 'don't use magic unless you want to be in pain' do you not understand?" Gretel placed her hand on my arm.

"It'll get better." She promised. I nodded,

"I know but it can still hurt." Not wanting to dwell on the pain of my magic usage anymore, I asked, "So how're your dads?" Gretel grinned,

"Father's great and said he knew he'd find us." I smiled,

"I told you not to doubt him." Hansel grinned,

"You were right, as usual." I laughed when I noticed Grace's silence.

"Amazing Grace?" I asked, using the song as a joke, "You okay?" She nodded,

"Yeah...I just haven't gone to see my Papa yet."

"What?!" All four of us cried.

"Grace, you know where he is, why wouldn't you go find him?" Henry asked. Grace looked down at her hands.

"I just...want him to find me and...keep his promise." Henry put a hand on Grace's shoulder. She looked up and gave him a slight smile.

"Everything will be alright Grace." Henry reassured, "I promise." Grace's smile widened as the rest of us nodded.

"Thanks guys." She smiled.

"So...you five gonna help now?" Red asked. I laughed and nodded. Soon we were all cleaning when I sensed something.

"Oh no." I said, looking up and watching as everything flew around.

"What's happening?" Red asked as she noticed my frozen state.

"He summonded something." I whispered in horror. I moved to go outside but Red grabbed my wrist.

"You five are staying here until I say so." I sighed when Grumpy and the other dwarves ran in.

"Whatever's going on out there ain't good." He said.

"Yeah we can see that." Gretel stated. Ella walked from the kitched towards the front.

"We should stay here." She said. She and I had our reunion once we started cleaning and she wasn't shocked I was alive. She said she had faith in me. Thomas walked up to stand beside his wife, Alexandra in his arms.

"Hopefully Snow, James and Emma are alright." He said. I gasped when it hit me. They could be in danger.

"Red we have to go!" I cried.

"They could be in danger!" Henry added, "All of them!" Red looked at the sky and then at Henry and me.

"Alright if it gets somewhat lighter, we'll go find them." She relented, "Until then, you two and I are going to stay here." We nodded and continued to help clean when I sensed the magic die down. I looked up and noticed that it had, in fact, calmed down.

"Red! It's calmed down!" I called. I was worried and because of it my magic was threatoning to spill over if I didn't calm down. Red nodded and Henry, Red and I ran off. Red sniffed the air, catching their scent.

"They're at city hall." She said.

"Thank God for your werewolf senses." I muttered as we ran. As we came in, we found Regina holding Charming against the wall with vines, Snow and Emma no where in sight.

"Mom?!" Henry cried. Regina turned.

"Henry, what are you doing here?" She asked. Henry walked closer to her.

"What are you doing?" Henry asked. Regina walked closer to Henry, the vines holding Charming releasing him.

"Charming!" I cried and ran to him, making sure he was alright with Red, overhearing Regina say,

"It's okay, you're safe now."

"Wh-where's my mom? Where's-" Henry began but Regina cut in,

"They're gone. They fell through a portal; they're...Henry, I'm sorry." Henry shook his head, stepping back as he said,

"No, you're not. You really are the Evil Queen. I don't wanna see you again."

"No, don't say that. I love you." Regina protested.

"Then prove it!" Henry cried, "Get Emma and Mary Margaret back! And until then, leave me, leave everyone alone!" I smiled slightly. He was speaking just like a royal would when standing up for their kingdom.

"But where will you go?" Regina asked.

"With Hope and me." Charming said as he stood up and led Henry and me away, Red behind us. Once we got in the car, Henry was silent.

"Hey," I said as I rubbed his shoulder, "it'll be okay." Henry looked at me before turning back to the window. I sighed and took out my phone, texting Hansel, Gretel and Grace to tell them what happened and that Henry and I were heading home with Charming.


When we returned to the apartment, Henry went to the counter and stared at a picture Emma and Snow took before the Curse broke.

"Henry." Charming said.

"Yeah?" Henry asked, not turning.

"Don't worry; Emma and Mary Margaret; they're alive." Charming reassured.

"He's right, Hen." I agreed, trying to get a reaction out of Henry.

"How do you know?" Henry asked.

"I have faith." Charming smiled. I grinned,

"So do I."

"Why?" Henry asked.

"Henry." Charming said and knealt down in front of Henry, me standing next to Henry himself, "Henry, I will find them. I will always find them." I placed a hand on Henry's shoulder and smiled as he turned to me and said,

"It's what our family does." Henry smiled,

"I know."


Later that night, I laid in bed reading good memories in my diary when Henry walked in. I looked up at him curiously.

"Can...can I sleep in here with you tonight?" He asked quietly. I smiled and moved over.

"Of course." Henry smiled and climbed in. I turned the light off and whispered, "Goodnight Henry."

"Goodnight Hope." I closed my eyes and fell asleep.


I woke with a yawn and noticed there was no noise outside. I quickly got up and changed into my dark purple dress and braided my hair with a periwinkle at the top of the braid. I went outside and looked around. Nobody was around as I attahed my quiver to my right hip, my sheathed sword on my left hip, my bow on my back and my staff through the bow's string. I looked around curiously. Where is everyone? I thought as I entered a clearing. Suddenly, everyone from the camp jumped out and yelled,

"Surprise!" My eyes widened as Snow came forward.

"Happy 14th birthday Hope!" She cried as she hugged me tightly. I smiled and hugged her back.

"You remembered!" I cried.

"Of course we did." Charming smiled, "You deserve it, after all you are the youngest and you have the purest heart here." I smiled,

"Thanks you guys."

"Happy birthday!" Three voices behind me cried. I turned around and smiled as Hansel, Gretel and Grace came out.

"H-how?" I gasped. Grace smiled,

"Your cousin had Collin and Julia send us invitations to your party and gave us directions." I turned to Snow and grinned,

"Thanks Snow." I hugged her again. The rest of the day was peaceful with no battles or attacks made on us. It was the first peaceful day I've ever had.


There we go! Broken is over! Now Hope is staying in Storybrooke with Charming and Henry to run the town. And she's spunky with being coddled as you can see. That was fun to write. I hope you guys liked it because I'm proud to have written it for you.
