Just an accident

I do not own anything

Day 0

" Rumpel? Rumpel? Are you in here?" Belle was looking for her beloved imp. She hasn't seen him all day, so she though maybe he was in his workshop trying to repair some old magic things. But the infamous evil Dark One was nowhere to be found. Instead, Belle found a beautiful crystal vial that she has never seen it before, the colour was sparkling blue and it smelt really nice. Belle picked it up to get a closer look. it smelt so nice.

" Belle? What are you doing here?" suddently, Rumpel walked in and saw her.

" wha…" Belle was startled, she dropped the vial onto her feets. Rumpel watched with horror to see purple smoke started to cover her. He tried to pull her out of it, but fell.

Slowly they were covered in purple smoke. And the darkness clamped them both.

oOo

"Belle? Belle? Are you all right?" Belle could hear soft voice calling for her name. the voice was soft, feminine… almost liked her own voice?

" I am… fine…" throaty, deep and warm voice. Definitely not her voice.

" Belle, open your eyes." She did as the voice told her… and saw… her own face staring back at her.

What the hell?

" don't panic…" that girl with her face said.

" how can I not…? Who… what…"

" it is me, Rumpelstiltskin, dearie." The girl sighed. " it seem that you have found my swapping body medicine."

"what?" Belle stared at Rumpel, who was currently in her body.

" I am sorry, I thought that thing didn't work anymore, I have had it for a quite long time." Rumpel looked down, guilty. " I was just cleaning my workshop… that vial was my swapping body medicine. So now you are in my body, and I am in your."

" what… but…. How could you keep such dangerous thing?"

"well, once upon a time, I just became the Dark One not for long… so I wanted to know what could I do with all those power…. I made a lot of vials, medicine of all kind, this was just one of them… I was planning to trade it for some transform medicine… but something came up and I forgot that I had it… until yesterday when I was trying to clear my workshop, I took it out and put it on my table… and Henry came and ask me to help with his little project, so I went with him, I thought the medicine was no longer work... I am really sorry."

" what should we do now?"

"nothing."

"what?"

"there is nothing you can do, dearie."

"but…"

"don't worry, it will wear off itself after one week."

" oh.."

"yes. It was the only way."

" not even true love kiss can break it?"

" no, this isn't a curse. It is more like a trick. So true love kiss can't do anything, it is just seven days, I am sure we can manager just fine."

" but… what should we do now?"

" I believe it is time for dinner. So, I think both of us weren't in any state to make our own dinner, how about going to Granny for a hamburger?"
