It's the crack of dawn and Xena wakes like she always does as the sun is coming out. Xena turns her head and smiles at the sight of Gabrielle sleeping. Gabrielle just recently cut all her beautiful blonde hair due to an incident that Xena had to use her chakram to cut some of Gabrielle's hair in order to free Gabrielle from Alti. But even with her hair shorter, she still looked as beautiful as ever and Xena actually liked it better short.

Xena went to the pond to catch some fish as she let Gabrielle sleep in. She knows how fussy Gabrielle can get without her "beauty sleep". After Xena caught the fish, she went back to where her and Gabrielle were camping. She started a fire and grabbed the frying pan and started cooking. Gabrielle soon woke up to the smell of fish cooking.

"Mmm that smells good, Xena!"

"Gabrielle you always say that about my cooking and you know I mainly cook fish since it's the easiest thing to cook!"

"I know Xena but I still love the way you cook the fish every time. For some reason you cook it better than I do"

"Well Gabrielle you know I have many skills!"

Gabrielle looked at Xena and smiled. She knew Xena had many skills and she admired Xena for it. Xena would train Gabrielle with the things she knew every once in a while when they had time to train and Gabrielle loved those times the best. She didn't really know why but she felt drawn to Xena in a way she could never explain. She always had to be near her. Being without her made her lost. So when Gabrielle was getting training from Xena, she always loved being as close to her as she can get. Especially when they both were dripping down sweat. Gabrielle always did some moves wrong on purpose so Xena would fall on top of her or vise versa.

After Xena and Gabrielle ate there breakfast, they set out to start there day of traveling the world and help those in need when they most needed a warrior. They heard of this village that was in desperate need of warriors so that was where they were headed. As they were walking with Argo, a storm started to form in the sky. It came fast and hard. They decided to ride Argo together to get to shelter faster. They found a near by cave and went inside it to wait for the storm to pass. A few minutes later, Xena and Gabrielle noticed a green twister coming towards where they were. They couldn't explain why it was green but that was the least of there worries. They needed to escape from it but before they could get away further into the cave, the green twister started to pull Gabrielle into the center of it. Xena grabbed Gabrielle's hand before she was too far gone into the twister.

"Xena don't let go of me!"

"Never!"

The twister was getting way to strong and Xena couldn't keep them both on the ground for long no matter how hard she tried. Xena wouldn't let go of Gabrielle even if her life depended on it. So she looked Gabrielle in the eyes.

"Do you trust me Gabrielle?"

"Xena you know I do"

"Good because we're about to go up into the center of that green twister so don't let go of me and I won't let go of you"

Gabrielle just nodded her head in agreement and then just like that, they were inside the center of the twister. Xena and Gabrielle both closed there eyes scared to death.

Then suddenly, a few minutes later they were on the ground not knowing exactly what just happened. They were not in there usual town but a totally different town that they didn't even know how to explain. This town was called Storybrooke, Maine. Soon after they appeared in this town in green twister like smoke that slowly faded into nothingness, Xena spotted Argo not too far from them on the payment road. Xena ran to Argo.

"Oh Argo are you okay my girl?"

Gabrielle turned to Xena.

"Xena, where are we?"

"I don't know Gabrielle but we're about to find out!"

Xena and Gabrielle walked along side the road with Argo. They got to the center of the town where the clock tower is. This was a very strange looking place and they still had to clue how they even got there. They kept walking until they got to Granny's which is the best fast food restaurant in town. Xena told Gabrielle to wait outside with Argo as she went inside to find out more about this place and how they got there. As Xena walked in the door to Granny's, everyone stopped and stared at her for a moment. She had her usual outfit on that made her very sexy looking with her chakram at her side and her sword on her back.

"What are you all looking at?"

Everyone turned away and went back to what they were originally doing except for Regina Mills (The Mayer of that town) and Emma Swan (The savior of the town). This is the town where everyone knew everyone because of the curse Regina cast to make this little town a while back when she was the evil queen in the enchanted forest. Regina and Emma walked up to Xena.

"Hi my name is Regina Mills, the Mayer of this town and this woman right next to me is"

"Emma. Emma Swan" said Emma cutting off Regina.

"May I ask who are you and how in the world did you end up here?"

"My name is Xena. I'm the one they call The Warrior Princess in my world until I somehow ended up here with my horse Argo and my friend Gabrielle who helps me fight all my fights when warriors are needed"

Xena points to Gabrielle waiting outside of Granny's with Argo. Regina and Emma look at them waiting outside then look back at each other with confused looks before looking back at Xena.

"How exactly did you get here?"Asked Regina

"Honestly, I don't exactly know. Gabrielle and I were just walking with Argo to a place where people in a small village needed a warrior since we travel the world and go anywhere where people need us. But then this storm came along that formed this green twister that sucked all of us here somehow."

Regina nodded in understanding and said "Ah now I see. You all got here through a passing cyclone which one can also take you back home to your world!"

"A what?" Xena replied.

"A cyclone. It can take you to a different realm and for some reason, it took you here and now we need to figure out why before we can try and get you back home!" Replied Regina.

Emma nodded in agreement. "Regina's right. You and your friend will just have to stay here until we can figure out why that cyclone brought you here in the first place. Which means, you and your friend can stay in one of Granny's rooms and your horse can stay in the barn not too far from here!"

Xena nodded her head and said "Thank you but the only money we have is just a few dinars!"

"That's fine! I'll let you stay here for free since I'm the Mayer and I have the right to but only because I'll be getting you back home as soon as I can" replied Regina.

"Oh thank you but there's no way we could ever repay you" said Xena.

"Actually you can repay me by helping Ruby around the restaurant taking orders so you can make some money just in case your here longer than expected. Ruby will show you how to do things. Both you and your friend will help out the restaurant".

Xena looked around Granny's and even though it was very different then she's use to, she replied "Okay that sounds fair!"

Regina and Emma got a room at Granny's for Xena and Gabrielle then took them both to the farm where Argo will be staying. Xena and Gabrielle got all settled in the room and that following night before they both fell asleep in the twin beds, Gabrielle turned to Xena.

"This is one strange town with strange things I've never even seen before"

"I know Gabrielle but it's only temporary. We'll find a way to get home!"

"Do you think Ares did this?"

"I don't know Gabrielle but we're gonna find out."

Now I know this chapter is short. I just thought it was a good ending for this first chapter. All my other chapters will be longer!
