Chapter 7: On the cards: StoryBrooke

Remi stared into Chester's eyes thinking of their first meeting. She smiled at him as he went to hold her hand.
"Besides tomorrow is another day" Chester whispered looking towards the direction of town. "Come on lets go" Chester said. Remi nodded and squeezed his hand and the two walked slowly back to town.

The two got back to town and Remi looked around confused as the town had become empty. "Where is everyone?" She asked. Chester also looked around and shrugged
"I'm not sure" He said curiously. Remi then noticed Grannies café' was still open.
"Perhaps they are there" Remi said pointing to it. Chester nodded
"Perhaps" He agreed. The two walked over to Grannies and stood outside it and peered through the window. Remi's suspicions were correct, the towns people stood angrily in the café' and they appeared to be having some kind of meeting. Remi pointed to Merida when she spotted her, who sat anxiously waiting for Remi to return.
"So what happens now?" Remi asked in her own thoughts. Chester turned to Remi
"What?" He asked. Remi looked up at him
"Well now I have a mother again are we no longer homeless?" Remi asked sighing. Chester shrugged.
"I think we were only made homeless as the curse had no place for us. I mean I don't exist in this world and well to Regina neither do you" Chester said trying not to upset Remi with the truth. Remi nodded and looked back to Merida.
"Why am I pursuing this?" Remi asked. "I have a life once again with Merida, surely that's enough?" She continued. Chester sighed.
"You deserve to know" Chester said honestly.
"There is no way of finding out" Remi whispered turning away from the window and walking away.
"Well it's along shot but I think I have an idea" Chester said stopping Remi in her tracks. Remi turned slowly to face Chester.
"How?" She asked. Chester sighed.
"Well if we could get back to Wonderland then maybe we could have a chance at obtaining something to help Regina break whatever curse is preventing her from remembering you" Chester said. Remi smiled.
"Really?" She asked sounding more optimistic. Chester nodded.
"But its getting back that's the problem" Chester said. Remi nodded.
"I heard something about having to have a hat?" Remi asked. Chester's eyes snapped up at this, he shook his head slowly and began to smile once again.
"Oh there are many more ways to get there, how do you think I got out?" Chester said devilishly. Remi stepped closer to him.
"I'm listening" She said. Chester stood up straight and folded his arms and smiled.
"Ever heard of the saying 'down the rabbit hole'?" Chester asked. Remi nodded.
"Sure it means you've gone crazy" Remi said. Chester nodded.
"Or it means you've fallen into Wonderland" Chester said grinning much more. Remi smiled too.
"So we need to look for a rabbit hole?" Remi asked. Chester shook his head.
"Not just any rabbit hole" Chester said. Remi nodded again.
"Okay but if we do find it, what are we looking for?" She asked.
"We are looking for a thing called the 'looking glass', its said to reflect a persons true self and I think that it will be able to break this curse on Regina" Chester said thoughtfully. Remi smiled and threw her arms around him.
"You see this is why I love you" She said squeezing him tightly. Chester smiled.
"You love me?" He asked. Remi nodded.
"Without a doubt" She whispered.
