Author's Note: So… episode 18, "Ruby Slippers". A lot of people said they hated the episode cause Mulan got put on the waiting list from the love department, again, but I liked it. Come on Dorothy and Ruby! There are so many directions that relationship can go, why not! Personally I think everyone's ticked off because OUAT picked a ship name for this new couple before they did:)

Disclaimer: I don't own Once Upon a Time :(

Dorothy kissed Ruby, returning her true love's kiss and sealing a bond that would last a lifetime. The Munchkins cheered for the curse on their beloved and benevolent hero was broken. Ruby smiled, both she had been looking for someone to love, and now she had Dorothy. Dorothy was looking for the same thing ever since her family had abandoned her, now she had Ruby.

"So what happens next?" Ruby asked.

"I don't know." Dorothy laughed.

The Munchkins were running around celebrating, breaking out bottles of champagne and singing merry old songs. Snow was in the corner with Mulan, both were smiling at Ruby and Dorothy. Ruby smiled at Snow, she was such a good friend to journey with her, oh no.

"Snow, you need to get back to Neal." Ruby exclaimed, with all the excitement she almost forgot the second part of her mission.

"Yes, let's go. But when you are ready." Snow said. She wanted her friend to have ample time with her true love.

"Dorothy I need to take Snow to Storybrooke." Ruby said.

"But how are you going to get there?" Dorothy inquired.

"The silver slippers, Zelena gave them to us."

"Zelena?!" Dorothy yelled. She was shocked the Wicked Witch of the West had helped them awaken her from a curse. There must be another reason to her motives.

"It's a long story." Ruby told Dorothy, she didn't feel the need to go into too much detail, not yet anyway.

"Come with me." She told Dorothy.

"What?" Dorothy asked, shocked at how fast things were moving.

"Come with me, back to Storybrooke. I want to show you my home and introduce you to Granny." Ruby said. Dorothy chuckled a little bit, it was only natural for Ruby to want to introduce her to her family, after all Dorothy would have wanted more than anything to introduce Ruby to Aunt Em.

"But what about…" Dorothy began, she looked at the celebrating Munchkins, she couldn't leave Oz not when it's people might still need her.

"Go." Several Munchkins shouted. Why the nosy little devils! Dorothy thought.

"Zelena won't be able to hurt them anymore, she's in the Underworld." Snow assured her, she wanted to get back to Neal as soon as possible.

Dorothy looked around, the people of Oz had needed her but now maybe was a time to focus on what she herself needed, true love. She looked at Ruby, whose eyes were full of light and hope. Dorothy thought to herself how much she had wanted someone to love her now here she was. How could she say no to this beautiful wolf? Dorothy kissed Ruby once again.

"Let's go."
