AN: I'm fully aware that if this was in the actual show, the timeline wouldn't make sense and I know the whole Jefferson remembering/him not having Grace was a big thing in the show, but I needed Wonderland characters around and it is AU(ish)! Anyway, I know this is a pretty short chapter, but I think it's kind of worth it!

Will look bewildered. "And how the bloody hell do you expect to do that?"

"I have no idea yet, but I will figure it out."

Will had never heard Alice sound more determined so he believed her. He thought this whole Wonderland, magic and curse thing sounded crazy, but Alice was his best friend and he would stick by her no matter what.

Unknown to Alice however, was the fact that the Wonderland curse had coincided with another curse. Regina, the Evil Queen, had cursed the Enchanted Forest residents to come to Storybrooke too. Emma Swan was the one who had to break that curse. But since the residents of Wonderland had been taken by a separate curse, they would stay frozen even if Emma did break the other curse.

Luckily for Alice, Henry Mills, son of Emma Swan and who was trying to convince her to believe, was friends with Grace. After telling Will, Alice headed to Jefferson's house with him in tow and who else should be there but Henry Mills. This may not seem like a big deal but Henry was a believer in all things magic, which Alice was made aware of when he accidentally referred to his mother as the Saviour.

As Jefferson made tea for them all, Alice hurried over to Henry. "Sorry to bother you, Henry, but did you just say Saviour."

Henry hesitated and so she carried on talking. "I only ask because I think I'm supposed to be a saviour too."

Henry looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Me and Will here and maybe some others were brought here by a curse."

"The dark curse? Because of the Evil Queen?"

"Evil Queen? No, because of Jafar."

"That's not the same curse that brought everyone else here. So maybe you're just supposed to save everyone who is from your world?"

Alice's eyes widened. "But I don't know how."

"True love's kiss would work?" Henry glanced at Will when he said this.

Alice didn't notice and looked crestfallen. "But my true love is in Wonderland."

"Then we will have to find another way to break a curse. And I know just where to go."

"The library?" Will scoffed. "That's your genius plan?!"

Henry looked at him. "If you know where to look, the library can give you the answer to anything." Alice thought he was smart for a 10 year old.

And so they searched and they searched (Will was rather reluctant at first but he actually seemed to enjoy himself after a while) and most of what they found was either very impractical, such as needing the person who cast the curse to be there or it was just True Love's Kiss over and over again. After a few hours, Alice collapsed and sighed.

"Oh this is no use! It's all suggesting an act of True Love but Cyrus isn't even here."

"An act of True Love doesn't always have to be romantic you know." Henry remarked. "Now, my mom, both of them, will be wondering where I am." And with that he left Alice and Will looking rather confused.

"True Love not romantic? I'm not sure I understand."

"I'm not sure I do either Alice."

She linked arms with him. "Let's go home and get some rest."

They exited the library. As they crossed the normally quiet road, a yellow bug was coming towards them. The person driving didn't have time to stop.

"Alice!" Will screamed. He pushed her out of the way, knocking her unconscious. The car swerved slightly so it didn't hit him full on, but managed to knock him over. A million thoughts ran through his head. "Anastasia." He whispered and then he passed out.
