A/N- Wassup? It be TOBN here with a new chapter for Once Upon A Time! YAY!

So after the [not so] cliffhanger last chapter, I thought it would be pretty awesome if I tried and make things harder for them, even if Stephanie isn't around anymore. I hope you like these small plot twists!

As EmmALewisS mentioned in a review, he/she asked about a SEQUEL. I wanted to tell y'all next chapter (Which is the conclusion), but I guess I can tell you all now.

I am indeed making a sequel to this.

YAY!

EmmALewisS gave me a great idea about a sequel which will be revealed at the end of this book, and I promise you it will be soon. But the sequel might not come out for a while, since I plan on making a few more sequels and stories in the future (Hint hint: Multi chapters!)

Shoutouts to...

EmmALewisS- Dude, you make me laugh. You unknowingly revealed the secret! HA! But it is okay; it was bound to come out eventually. No hard feelings! LOL! Anyway, I guess it was determination. Benny does know how to climb I guess; maybe he doesn't do it that well. Plus, Erica did end up pulling him, so I guess he didn't have to work that hard. LOL! And I totally get it; when I wrote the chapter I felt all awesome inside because I was like "HEY! I did something that might make everyone cry!" sorta thing. Thanks for the review!

tomo338- *Stuffs face with popcorn as well* Oh fanfic buddy #2 don't cry! Fanfic Buddy #1 just brought soda, so we can all cry about this together. LOL! Thank you for reviewing; let's hope Benny will survive.

MBAV fan66- Uh, of course! As long as your soda isn't the soda from that Bethan one-shot I made. Don't hypnotize us! Jokes. I am sure tomo338 won't mind. We could be, like, the three fanfic amigos! Jokes! Anyway, yeah, I watched Tangled too, so this plot twist might not be a good one. But I do have a plot twist that will make up for that! Thanks for your review fanfic buddy!

EmmALewisS gave me a pretty (Not so weak) awesome idea, and instead of making it in the sequel, I made it here! I put a little twist in this story that you probably never saw coming (Unless you are physic. JOKES!)

Drop a review and most importantly...

ENJOY!


Then True Love Blossomed, Like A Rose

Benny's face started to grow black, ashes starting to blow from his body. He was fading away fast, seconds passing by.

10 seconds...

15 seconds...

25 seconds...

32 seconds...

Ethan counted the seconds before Benny would turn to ash. Sarah sniffed back tears, as with Jane. But the one who was really on the verge of tears was Erica. She wrapped her now dusty blonde hair, that was tied in a ponytail, around her shoulder as a single tear dropped from her eyes.

43 seconds...

56 seconds...

The drop of tears dripped onto Benny's blackened chest, a small gold aura blazing. Erica stopped crying as that gold glow seeped into Benny. Jane watched in awe as Rory dropped his newsboy hat, which sadly fell out the window.

"It is just like Tangled..." Erica murmured, swirls of golden beauty spiralling around the spellmaster as faints of a heart beat filled Erica's ears. She grinned.

"He is alive." Ethan breathed out, cheering a bit as Erica kissed Benny's damp lips. He drowsily opened his eyes as he stared into Erica's eyes. He smiled weakly.

"Did I mention I had a thing for brunettes?" He said, a daze in his voice. Jane looked at him in confusion as Erica smiled, not seeing what the little girl saw.

"Benny! You are alright!" She cooed, kissing him briefly once more. Benny nodded, fiddling with a ruby ring he had on his finger.

"Rapunzel! You are free of that witch! Please, can you marry me!" He exclaimed, making everyone gasp as Erica's head snapped forward in disbelief.

"What?" She said, confusion and a bit of excitement mixed to one. Benny's eyes glazed as he grinned, looking at Ethan, Sarah, Jane and Rory.

"And these! These peasants can attend! They did help us after all, right?" He asked, making Sarah put her hand on her hip.

"Who you calling peasant?" She said. But Jane frankly ignored he, muttering a few things before snapping her fingers.

"Brunettes!" She exclaimed, making everyone look at her in confusion. The magical girl smiled as she started her explanation.

"You see, at the end of Tangled, after Flynn is saved by Rapunzel's magic tears, he said 'Did I mention I had a thing for brunettes?'! Erica isn't brunette, but her hair is that dusty blonde she had before, meaning Benny just said something from his fairytale! So that means..." She paused, bracing herself. "Something must've happened." She concluded, shivering at the thought. Erica walked up to the new Benny.

"Do you know my name?" She asked, a crack in her voice. Benny tilted his head in confusion.

"Of course! Rapunzel." He said, chuckling a bit. "How absurd of you to ask!" He added, his laugh lingered in the air as it was one sided. Ethan noticed a red shine coming from Benny's hand as he grabbed Benny's hand. Benny looked at him in confusion as Ethan examined this.

"Benny? What is this?" He asked. Benny cleared his voice. "One, I think you got the wrong man. I am Flynn. Flynn Rider." He said, shaking Ethan's hand quickly, making Ethan feel a bit awkward, being reintroduced to his friend.

"Okay..Flynn...where did you get this ring? It is obviously pure ruby." He said, admiring its colour. Benny/Flynn smiled.

"Well..."


"Jewels?! Gold?! Rubies?! I AM RICH!" He exclaimed, quiet enough that no one would hear him. But he then realized he had to get out of whatever cruel and twisted fairytale he was in, so he decided to leave the jewels there, from yours truly. He was sure he would be awarded later.

Y'know, if they didn't realize the fact that he stole them in the first place.

But before Benny left, he wanted a small keepsake after this. After all, when they did get to the human world once more, he was bound to get some money out of this. He quickly scoured through the small knapsack of riches when he found a ruby red ring. He slid it on, drop the bag, and got onto his horse and fled, hoping no one saw his small stealing.

Huh. He was really starting to become a Flynn Rider.


"You stole this ring?" Rory exclaimed. Benny/Flynn shrugged.

"At least I didn't steal the rest blonde fool!" He snapped back, making Rory steam. Sarah pulled the two apart when Jane spoke up once more.

"Wait a minute...I left my basket at Cinderella's house when we left. Sarah, where are your shoes?" Sarah shrugged. "Bottom of the tower I suppose. I left them there when I was going to climb the tower." She said, pointing to her bare feet. Jane looked at Ethan, thinking of what he could have brought with him from his fairytale.

"Ethan? How about you? Where is..that sword you got from the castle?" She asked. Ethan shrugged. "Left it outside after plunging it into a Shadow Knight's chest." He said, not really thinking about how weird it must've sounded. Jane looked at Rory, who was starting to get where they were going.

"My hat from Jack's house fell out the window. Erica's hair was cut off. So the only one who actually kept something after their fairytale was..."

"Benny." Erica finished off for Rory, speaking up after she was quiet for a while.

"So the only reason Benny is like his fairytale character is because he has something relating to his character." Erica explained, pulling off the ring.

Suddenly, the whole tower seemed to crumble. Benny's eyes flashed many colours as Jane looked out the window. Smoke surrounded the tower as Jane realized the land was resetting.

"There! We finished Rapunzel! Everyone has to go down right now so we can break the force field before this resets!" Jane yelled, grabbing the rope and scaling down, dagger in between her mouth. Everyone followed, hoping they could make it in time.

"C'mon!" Erica yelled, Benny dazedly following them.

Jane finally reached the final force field, and without hesitation, plunged the dagger into the force field.

The force field shattered, as everything started to rumble. Everyone took shelter under a small tree trunk in the woods, huddling close/

As for everyone, the world started to dim until there was just blackness.

Oh should I say...whiteness?


Benny was the first to awaken, feeling a strange weight on him. Light, but still pretty heavy. He realized that Erica had been sleeping on his chest. He rubbed her awake.

"Hey Erica..we are...wait. Where are we exactly?" He asked, looking at his surroundings as everyone woke up slowly, all of them seeing what Benny saw.

Nothing.

Everyone saw nothing.

Literally, nothing.

They were surrounded by a white background, pure and clear.

"Great. So now what?" Rory groaned. Ethan shrugged. "I do hope we can go home by the time my parents get back on Monday." Ethan said, shivering as he thought if their reactions.

Everyone stood in silence for a while. looking at all the white.

"Hey! I found something!" Sarah exclaimed, seeing a small wooden pencil on the ground. Jane rolled her eyes.

"That helps. A pencil. Are we writing a test or something?" She said, catching a bit of Erica's sarcastic persona. Ethan shrugged as he and the gang waited a bit again. Benny finally broke the silence.

"Um..so what happened to me?" He asked curiously. Erica laughed, punching him playfully. "You happened! You stole that ruby ring, then turned into a weird Flynn Rider. You even proposed to me!" She exclaimed, giggling. Benny blushed, saying nothing.

"I would have said yes if it were really you." She added, blushing a scarlet as Benny blushed as well, fiddling with his messenger bag. (For all who are confused, Benny had a bag the whole time. Sorry I forgot to mention that.) Sarah rolled her eyes.

"So what are we to do now?" Sarah said, tapping the pencil on the white ground. Suddenly, the pencil made grey marks on the white floor, like a regular pencil would have done with a paper. Benny saw this and an idea popped in his mind.

"Sarah, give the pencil." Sarah looked at him, but gave it to him anyway as Benny went on his knees and started to write.

Once Upon A Time...

And as Benny suspected, the pencil wrote those words. Jane finally caught sight of small writing on the pencil and gasped.

"Write your own fairytale. Return to me! From Evelyn! She sent us this pencil!" Jane exclaimed. Rory laughed.

"We have to write our way out of here. Let us do this the write way! Ha!" He joked, getting a eye roll from everyone. Benny snapped his fingers as a blaze of pink emerged. He grinned.

"My magic works a bit. I may be able to make an animating spell on this pencil so we can be faster!" He said. Jane smiled. "Lemme do it! Before it slams in your face." Everyone laughed as Jane said the spell. The pencil glowed pink as it started to write whatever she said.

*These are the titles! Eek!*

Once, In A Faraway Land, there were six friends, stuck in a fairytale.

Their world glistened pink. Jane continued.

There Was A Maid, Beautiful Of Heart, portrayed by a vampire who was kind and caring. She couldn't go to the ball, making her sad.

Sarah smiled as Jane continued. A glass slipper appeared in the midst of the white.

A Young Boy, Mischievous Of Mind, who decided it was okay to steal gold from a giant to escape, being the first to do so.

Rory saw a beanstalk grow from the nothingness.

A Girl, Hood As Red As Blood, who was visiting her grandma. She was lost in the woods and was confronted by a wolf. She escaped his clutches and went with the hunter, who was going to crash a ball.

Jane felt fabric on her shoulders. She looked and saw a red hood on her shoulders. She grinned and continued.

A Trapped Maiden, Hair Like Finest Gold, who was stuck in a tower by her evil mother. She had long hair, and had a wonderful voice.

Erica heard singing in the distance, smiling as she heard the beautiful song.

A Wealthy Prince, Searching For A Bride, and he got too much in his dreams when he discovered he was a prince. But he met a beautiful girl, masked at a party. He searched for her when she left, and found her finally.

Ethan saw a silver sword in the distance as he grinned. Jane was very good words!

A Fair Man, Curious Of Soul, stole a ruby ring, but was turned good by one's beautiful heart. He helped the maiden escape and even sacrificed himself for her life and safety.

Benny saw a crown in the distance, and curious, picked it up. Without anyone looking, he slipped it into his messenger bag, curious if it will still be there when he returned. He smiled as Jane continued.

A Witch, Evil As Darkness Itself, who cursed the teens into a twisted fairytale, playing them like pawns. But they defeated her in the end, ending her gruesome touch to the world.

A picture of Stephanie appeared, dissolving fast as Rory pumped his fist in victory.

Then True Love Blossomed, Like A Rose, and everyone was happy.

Erica and Benny linked hands, followed by Ethan and Sarah, and Rory and Jane. They held hands together as Jane finished off, the pencil almost stopping.

And They Lived Happily Ever After, being whisked all the way home as they were finally happy with their lives.

Jane paused as the white world began to spin.

And time never changed, although it did a bit, because the six teens made it back seconds before Jacuzzi Time Machine started.

Everyone laughed as they were zoomed out into blackness, falling in a well deserved sleep.


A/N- Might have been the second or third longest chapter ever! Whoo!
