Kat clutched Arthur as the purple smoke disappeared.

"I'm going to fucking kill him." She growled.

"What?" Arthur looked down at his wife in shock.

She blushed. "Sorry. Habit."

"No, it's fine, but who are you talking about?"

"Rumpelstiltskin. This was him. He brought magic…I have to go find him."

"I'm coming with you."

"No, Arthur you don't have to-"

"Kate, I've been walking around this town, not knowing who you for 28 years. If you think that I'm just going to let you run after I've just woken up then you don't know me very well."

Kat stared at him for a moment then grabbed his jacket by the lapels and kissed him.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" She said after breaking the kiss.

"You have mentioned it a few times." He chuckled. Kat smiled and grabbed his hand.

"Come on, I'm going to need someone to stop from killing the imp."

"Where are we going?" Arthur asked. Kat had led him into the woods and it seemed to him as if they were going in circles.

"The wishing well."

"Why?"

Kat sighed. "Because that's where Rumple is. Now come on, we're almost there."

Without another word, Arthur trailed behind his wife for a few more minutes. Suddenly she stopped.

"I…think we should go back." Kat whispered.

"What?" Arthur asked. "But we're already out here, why-"

Kat turned Arthur head to face the well. "Oh."

Rumpelstiltskin had his arms wrapped around a brunette that Kat knew could only be Belle.

"I'll beat him up later. But right now I'll give them time to…get reacquainted." She finished with a bit of a blush.

Arthur chuckled as the pair started their journey back to Storybrooke.

Kat pushed the door to her house open.

"Dash!" She called. The cocker spaniel came racing to the door and jumped up on Arthur.

"Dash! How are you?" He asked the dog, rubbing the animal's stomach.

"How long have you had him?" Back in Camelot, Arthur had several dogs. Dash was the smallest and Kate's favorite. During the first year of their marriage, Arthur had given Dash to her as a birthday present.

"Since the curse."

"How is he still alive?" Arthur asked, rising to his feet

"Same reason we haven't aged. The curse." Kat answered. She slipped her jacket off and tossed it on a nearby chair. "Go on. Sit down. I'll make tea."

"Kate, tea is the farthest thing from my mind right now." He said pulling her closer.

"Arthur Pendragon, magic just came to Storybrooke. How the hell can that be on your mind?" She teased, pushing him back and heading towards the kitchen. Just then there was a crash of thunder. "Rumple." She said through gritted teeth. Kat reentered the living room and put her jacket back on. "I have an imp to murder. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"How do you know it was Rumpelstiltskin?" Arthur asked as Kat was almost out the door.

"Because it's always Rumpelstiltskin." She replied. Despite the fact that she wanted nothing more than to throttle the imp, Kat couldn't stop herself from smiling.

Kat exited her car. She took a deep breath and headed into Gold's shop.

"Alright Gold." She called. "What are you up to?"

No reply. "Gold?" She tried again. Still no answer. Kat suddenly wished Arthur had come with her. Slowly started towards the back room. "Rumple?" She asked entering the back room.

Rumpelstiltskin was sitting at his spinning wheel with a chipped cup in his hands.

"What happened?" She asked gently.

"Belle…she's gone." He whispered.

"What happened?"

"I brought a Wraith to kill Regina…"

"So?"

"I promised Belle I wouldn't kill her."

Kat fought the urge to roll her eyes. "Let me guess you pointed out that you weren't killing her." He nodded.

"It's all my fault…I'm such a fool." He said. Kat saw a tear roll down his face. In that moment any anger she felt towards Rumpelstiltskin went away. She saw the broken man she had met all those years ago. Slowly, she sat down next to him and put an arm around him.

"It'll be ok Rumple…" The two just sat there in silence for a few minutes. Suddenly Kat got an idea. She would go find Belle and try to talk to her. If she could just convince her to come back and talk to Rumpelstiltskin…

"Hey, I have to go." She said, rising to her feet. "Arthur will be wondering where I am. I'll stop by tomorrow."

"Arthur!" Kat called as she entered the house. "I need your help to…Ah."

As she entered the kitchen, she saw Arthur and Belle drinking tea.

"There you are darling." Arthur smiled.

"Hello, I believe we've met before." Belle said kindly.

"Yes…we have." She slid into the seat next to Arthur. "I just went to see Rumpelstiltskin."

"Yes, I remember." Belle said, looking into her teacup. "You were friends."

"We are…he really misses you Belle."

"Then he shouldn't have-"

"I know what he did." Kat interrupted. "But he wants to change for you. He loves you Belle…but he can't change on his own. He needs you."

"I'll think about it.." Belle replied. "If you'll please excuse me, I need to go for a walk." She said, getting up from the table.

"Of course." Kat said. "Just think about what I said."

Don't let it be forgot

That once there was a spot-

"Gwen it's 1:30, you better have a hell of a reason to be calling me." Kat said rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. After Belle had left, the couple had talked about what they should do now. Adam had decided that he would talk to Charming in the morning. Around midnight had put 'Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows' in and Kat had past out twenty minutes after it started, but Arthur was still watching intently.

"What?... You're kidding?...But what about Henry?...How did you find out?...Alright. We'll go see him first thing in the morning…'Night-Oh! Tell Lance we said 'hi'." Kat could hear her sister blush. "Right. Goodnight." With that she ended the call.

"What was that about?" Arthur asked, pausing the film.

"It's Mary-Margret and Emma."

"What?"

"They feel through a portal. They're trapped in our world."

WOAH! Finally on Season 2! Going episode by episode now. What did you think about last night's episode? I'm glad August's not dead, but I wish that he was still August. :/ My friend thinks they'll figure out a way to turn him back in Season 3. We were both really glad when we were proven right and Tamara was evil! Anyone else think she's Tiger Lily?

Reveiw!
