Author's Notes: I do not own Once Upon A Time. Now Nameless Wildflower asked for Beatrice to give Gold and Belle sentimental gifts, which was meant to be a holiday prompt, but this is what I came up with. Anyway, please let me know what you think and happy reading!

Disney Fact Check: Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom didn't start until 2012, but this was funnier. Those candy apples cost $10, but are huge and totally worth it. Also, remember Beatrice doesn't know Merlin as Merlin, but Grandpa Colin, but I've been calling him Merlin except from her POV so... Oh and only three hotels have the monorail. Some people think it's all of them, just don't get there and be sad because All Star Movies wasn't. All Star Movies is a cute little hotel, though. Okay, I think that's enough...

2003

Belle checked her watch again.

"What time was the flight getting in to Boston?"

"Belle, he has to drive here still."

Belle paced the living room. Five days. Her father had taken Beatrice for five days on a trip to Disney World since they were unaffected by Regina's curse. It was the longest she had ever been away from her baby and as she neared the end, she felt as if she was going to disintegrate from the strain.

"Belle, she's fine."

"What were we thinking letting her go to a far off land like Florida?"

There was a frantic knock at the door. Lady ran towards the door.

"Mommy! I'm home! Let me in!"

Belle ran to the door, not even pausing between the time she opened it and grabbed Beatrice.

"Beatrice! I missed you so much!"

Gold got up from the sofa to join them as Merlin carried in Beatrice's little pink suitcase and a Disney tote bag bursting with souvenirs.

"Did you have fun, sweetheart?," asked Gold.

"Uh-huh."

"Are you serious? We had nonstop fun," said Merlin. "From the time the plane landed."

"Grandpa and I went everywhere!"

"Well, I want to hear all about it," said Belle, leading Beatrice to the sofa.

Beatrice began recounting her tale as Lady jumped all over her, from her first breakfast with Mickey and Minnie, how the monorail went from their hotel straight to the park, how they saw animals, met Winnie the Pooh and rode into space. Of course the main attraction was the Princesses. She pulled out a pink autograph book with the Disney Princesses on the cover.

"What is this?," asked Gold, pulling some sort of an objet in a white paper box from the tote bag.

Merlin glanced over. "That is a candy apple made to look like Winnie the Pooh."

"And we went to a tea party!," Beatrice added.

"You did?," asked Belle.

"Uh-huh. We had cakes and tea and Princess Aurora was there."

"Was she?"

"We also met the Queen of Hearts," said Merlin looking at Gold.

"Was that really necessary?," asked Gold.

"Most definitely."

"You know who we met?!," asked Beatrice.

"Who?"

"Belle! Princess Belle. I told her my mommy was named Belle."

"Oh, what did she think?"

"And I told her you like books and she thought you two should be friends."

"Well, that would be interesting," said Belle.

"I got you a present."

"Oh, baby, you didn't have to do that," said Belle.

Beatrice dug in the tote bag for an odd shape buried deep in tissue paper. She presented it to Belle who unwrapped it to find a music box with figurines of Beauty and the Beast on top.

"Oh, my goodness," said Belle, staring at this world's version of herself.

"It does the song!," said Beatrice, twisting the little gold knob to make the figures dance to their song. She beamed at Belle. "Do you like it?"

Belle looked over at Gold's dismayed look.

"It is wonderful, sweetheart and it was so kind of you to think of us," said Belle. "I am going to put this on the night table in my bedroom."

"What's this?," asked Gold, finding some cards that read "Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom."

"That was nothing," said Merlin.

"Oh. That was the game Grandpa hated," said Beatrice.

"Did he now, sweetheart?," asked Gold.

Merlin shook his head. "That was a blip. I bought her some mouse ears, we worked through it."

"Merlin was supposed to train us to be sorcerers and beat the bad guys, but Grandpa said it was stupid," Beatrice pouted.

"All I said was that I-" he paused. "That Merlin would never have a beard like that and walk around in a nightdress."

"Really?," asked Gold. He turned to his daughter. "Beatrice, I want you to tell me all about this Merlin."

Merlin stood. "I'm going home to try and get Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah out of my head."

"Thank you again for taking her," said Belle.

"Thank you, Grandpa," said Beatrice.

"You're welcome, sweetheart," said Merlin. He leaned down to Gold and whispered. "They will get round to you one day, sunshine."

2010

Gold watched in disbelief as Shrek Forever After played on the television. It was a rainy afternoon and Beatrice thought she might as well watch the cartoon.

"This is ridiculous!"

Beatrice snorted. "I know, right? They were totally stretching to make a sequel out of this plot."

"Why would there be a loophole in the contract?!," Gold shouted. "True Love's Kiss can't change time!"

Beatrice frowned. "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"And that hair..." Gold said with disgust.

"You seem really upset about this."

"I'm not, I just-" He groaned and got off the sofa. "I need a scotch."
