Emma raised an eyebrow inquisitively at Belle's distressed face.
"I don't know why she did it! I didn't even do anything and I really don't want to tell Rumple, because he might resort to extreme measures."
"Calm down, what did Regina do again?"
"She cursed me!"
Emma's eyes widened, "Do you know what it was?"
"She said anything I touched would turn to gold!"
"Like King Midas?"
"You knew him?" Belle inquired.
Emma signed, "Well, don't touch anything and you should be good. We can go and find out why she cursed you- though why she would is beyond me, and if she refuses we can always bring out the big guns."
"Big guns?"
Emma shot her a look.
"Oh, right. You mean Rumple."
The two walked out and on instinct Belle opened the door, Emma realized too late. "Wait no!"
The door quivered and then melted into a puddle of black on the floor. Both women stared at it in surprise before it slowly formed into a shape of a man that Belle instantly recognized. The goo hardened and then broke bringing a blinking Rumplestiltskin, clad in a suit and holding a cane, into existence.
He blinked and then his eyes found Belle. "Belle? What?"
Emma stared in shock and then groaned.
"I am going to kill Regina."
Belle turned to Emma, "I- I don't understand- I thought everything I touched turned to... Gold..."
"Yeah, and it did." She gestured to Rumplestiltskin, also known as, Mr. Gold.
"Oh..."
