Chapter ONE: Regeneration
A man walked home in New York City. When he reached his apartment, it began to rain and he went to his window to go and shut it, but it was jammed open. He attempted to closed it again, when he dropped his cellphone out of the window, down the fire escape. He leant out, when a dove came to his window, to leave a postcard behind. He picked it up, and the picture was of the Storybrooke Clock Tower. He flipped it over, where someone had written "Broken".
Meanwhile, on the Main Street of Storybrooke, the purple cloud of magic dissipated, leaving Mary Margaret and David Nolan, with both their memories back, together in the street. "What's happening?" Mary Margaret asked her husband.
"Let's find out,": David said, as he holds Mary Margaret's hand and began walking down the street, where they found Ruby and Granny, who also had their memories back ans Red Riding Hood and Granny.
"Snow?" Ruby asked Mary Margaret, as she hugged her best friend, when the seven dwarves raced up to them.
"You're Highness?" Leroy, who was Grumpy, asked, as all the dwarves bowed down to them. "The Curse ... it's broken?"
"It appears so," David said.
"So what do we do now?" Ruby asked.
"Now... I find my daughter," Mary Margaret said, but she didn't have to look far because standing right behind her was Emma and Henry.
"So, it's true…" Emma asked.
Mary Margaret went up to her daughter, hugging her. "You found us."
"Grandpa?" Henry asked David.
"Yeah, kid, I suppose so," David said.
"She did it; she saved you."
"She saved all of us."
"I... no…" Emma said.
"Uh, then why are we still here?" Leroy asked.
"That, my friend, is an excellent question," David said, before all the seven dwarves started asking an array of questions; the majority being :What was the purple mist?"
"Magic," Mother Superior said. "It's here. I can feel it."
"Magic? In Storybrooke? But you're the Blue Fairy. Do something magical," Henry said.
"It's not quite that simple, Henry. No wand, no Fairy Dust, matters are complicated now."
"Let's go to the person responsible for bringing it; the Queen," Leroy said, making the dwarves nod in agreement.
"No, wait. It wasn't Regina," Emma said.
Meanwhile at the wishing well, Mr Gold and Belle were conversing, with River Song and the Professor watching.
"My darling Belle. You have to tell me what happened to you?" Mr Gold asked.
"I was abducted," Belle said.
"Regina."
Belle nodded. "She locked me away until her curse, and I've been in the asylum ever since."
"For twenty-eight years?" Mr Gold asked, and Belle nodded again. "All these years... you've been here? Alive?"
"Is that—is that why you did this? Why you wanted magic? For revenge?"
"Oh no—but it might come in handy."
"No... NO."
"I cannot let this stand, Belle; I will not let this stand!"
"Look..." Belle said, taking his hand, "promise me—promise me you won't give into your hate. Promise me you will you won't kill her." But Mr Gold looked away from her. "Promise me, and we can be together."
Mr Gold started to caress her face. "Sweetheart.. I promise," he said, then kissed Belle deeply.
Then River spoke up. "Well, I suppose I should be going now."
"Yes see you," the Professor said, then collapsed to the ground.
"What's happening?" Belle asked, in shock.
"He's a Time Lord, Belle. Which means he's about to regenerate," Mr Gold said.
"But he hasn't been in any sort of danger. No harm," River said.
"But that's where you're wrong, Well … kinda…" the Professor said, getting up slowly. "…I put a drop of my blood in the true love potion. When magic came to Storybrooke, it's trying to co-exist with me. Which means I'm gonna have to change…" Once he was standing upright, he brought his hand up, and instead of a golden regeneration glow, it was purple; the same colour as the smoke. He put his arms up in the air and let the rush of purple rejuvenation energy engulf him, like a normal regeneration. And then it stopped. He looked back at River, Rumple and Belle with the same face he had before, but more youthful. Like a 19 year old.
"What was that? You said you were gonna change. But you didn't," River said.
"But I did change, mother," the Professor said, making a fireball appear in his hand, then put it out.
"But how is that possible, dearie? Time Lords aren't practioners of magic. It shouldn't affect them," Mr Gold said.
"Well, that drop of my blood in with the magic cloud, it changed my DNA build up. Yes I'm a Time Lord still but it rearranged itself so I can do magic. And instead of a regeneration, I do a rejuvenation, which is what you guys saw. And there is no limit to how many times I can rejuvenate, so I think I'm immortal. Or eternal. I always get those two mixed up."
"Well, I should tell him indoors this," River said. "I'll see you later." And she vanished with the help from a vortex manipulator.
