Chapter 1
As she fell to the ground, her father caught her. Her eyes closed, and she was knocked out. For a brief second, she could her people running around, and she felt her body being moved, and then, she was completely gone.
For a brief moment, she felt like she might be able to awaken from this, but she was mistaken. Before she knew it, she stood in a room surrounded by fire, a place where no one could enter unless they too were under a sleeping spell.

"Regina Mills." The mayor stated flatly into the phone as she headed out to her car. Charming began rambling about Emma being under a sleeping spell and before she knew it she was shouting at him. "WHAT?! How did this happen?" Part of her was happy; no trouble for her and no competition for Henry. However, part of her wondered how the town was going to survive. They loved Emma so much; as they loved her parents. She didn't need rioting right now; she had just gotten everyone back from Fairy Tale Land, dealt with her obnoxious mother and picked up three fairy tale characters. Hook, Mulan and Sleeping Beauty were all new editions to the Storybrooke community.
Mulan had it bad for Aurora, as did quite a few of the dwarfs, and lucky for Mulan, Aurora felt the same. As Regina pulled up to Grannie's for a black coffee to go, she observed them being affectionate in the corner.
A brief memory of Daniel entered her mind right then, but she turned back to Granny, thanked her for the coffee and went to the sheriff's office.

"I don't know what to do." David sighed. He looked down at his daughter, and shook his head. Snow entered as well.
"I thought you had gotten rid of it!" She practically shouted at David and then hit his chest lightly, her stress apparent.
"So did I." He hugged her tightly and she crumpled into him and cried. He looked over at Regina with eyes that said they had to solve this problem immediately.
"There is one idea." Regina began.
Snow composed herself and turned to face her. "Was Emma ever betrothed to anyone?" Regina asked.
Snow sniffled. "No, no one." She replied.
Regina nodded and paced the room. "Well," she sighed. "Then let's have a town meeting, let everyone know what is going on, and all the men that have yet to find true love will line up to kiss her. One of them has to be her one true love." Regina explained.
Snow nodded as did Charming. "It's our only hope." Charming stated.
"The town meeting will be held this evening then. The sooner we get a jump on this, the better." Regina stated.
Regina got up on stage and explained the situation, causing the room to gasp. "Starting tomorrow at 9:00 a.m., all unmarried males are asked to please line up and kiss Emma. Everyone will only be permitted one kiss." Regina explained.
Everyone agreed and left the town center. Henry refused to leave Emma's side. "I will stay with him." Regina told Charming and Snow. "You two get some rest. I need you both tomorrow to make sure the crowds are calm." Both nodded, but neither could sleep well with Emma under the sleeping spell.
