Chapter 1: Setting the scene

A year that is what it has been since the curse broke since all memories were restored. It was a year reconciliation, loss, and a search for a way home to the enchanted forest. Finally they have one, the magic beans. However not all want to go home.

Regina and Emma grew closer as the year progressed and they soon became more than just friends. On the outside they still appeared to be against each other, they and Henry knew otherwise. Emma was trying to build a relationship with the parents who she had just found and knew that they would not accept Regina, so they kept it a secret.

With a way home Snow and Charming have decided to return to the Enchanted Forest and resume their thrones and to lead their kingdom. People were given the opportunity to stay in Storybrooke and continue their lives there, or they could return to their original land and resume the lives they had. Many people decided to return to the forest, as well as many choosing to stay in Storybrooke. Amongst those deciding to stay were Regina, Emma and Henry.

For Regina the Enchanted Forest had been a prison and carried to many unhappy memories. Storybrooke had brought her happiness in the form of her son, Henry, and her Sherif, Emma. Therefore she choose to stay in the land that gave her happiness. Emma had been to the Enchanted forest earlier that year and greatly despised it, for her the world she grew up in was home. So she decided to stay in the land she called home, and hoped to get her happy ending with the woman she was slowly but surely falling hopelessly in love with. She is angered by her parents decision to 'abandon' her again yet she knew she absolutely could not live in their kingdom for the rest of her life. Henry on the other hand was eager to see the Enchanted Forest however he knew the pain it had caused his parents and knowing he could not live without them he choose to stay in Storybrooke and to be a family.

This leads us to today the day that those leaving Storybrooke open the portal and return home.
