Chapter 2: Meeting with the Dark One
The next day, Queen Regina went to visit an old friend.
"Ah, hello dearie!" Rumplestiltskin greeted.
As she walked in, Regina said, "So, I'm sure you've heard the news, My nephew is marrying a village girl. I want you to get rid of her."
"And, why exactly?"
"I am his guardian. I have to look out for him. And I want. That girl. Gone!" Rumplestiltskin was silent. Finally, he said, "You know, there is a special device that lets you travel through worlds."
"I am aware of Jefferson's hat. Sadly, he is away."
"Oh, but that's not what I meant, dearie! There is a fountain and with one tiny push, you'll be in a different world."
"Where can I find this fountain?"
Rumplestiltskin smiled mischievously. "Your courtyard. But, there's a catch."
Regina groaned, "Of course. With you, magic always comes with a price."
"I want you to do it the day of the Curse."
Regina smiled, "Excellent."
