AN: It has been awhile since I posted a new chapter to this story but I am not abandoning it as I do like writing it and am hoping to finish it. With the Corona Virus going around and spending a lot more time sitting around the house now I am hoping to get a lot more writing done but no promises. I hope you enjoy a new chapter to the story from a new point of view. Again if you have any ideas or questions leave a comment or shoot me a message. I welcome all questions.

Also I am trying to decide on a pairing for Ursula so if you guys have an idea in mind let me know. I have a few options I am leaning toward right now but I would love to hear your ideas about a pairing and maybe even how they meet.

Thank you


Ursula arrived in Storybrooke with the three witches that had surprised her family at their Boston apartment. It was weird to be here and watching people walk around like it was normal, but she recognized many of the people that are here. Some people she knew just from the way they acted even if they had never met before. The large amount of Disney movies she was 'forced' to endure while watching the children made it obvious. (She will never admit how much she liked the Disney movies except Little Mermaid. It made her look fat and ugly.)

Ursula was sitting in Granny's dinner the day after she arrived looking through the ads to find a place to live for Emma and Lily. Ursula was still unsure of what she was going to do. She had moved in with them in Boston to help out with the kids, but with Maleficent, Regina, and now Ingrid here she could have some friends and maybe her own life as well since the trio of grand parents were going to be happy to help with the kids as well.

"Would you like some coffee?" The brunette waitress asked her. She seemed a little over the top but Ursula had been warned how the town might react to her coming since new people don't show up often.

"Sure. That sounds lovely." Ursula said with a smile going back to the ads.

"Are you looking for an apartment? You're here to stay?" Ruby asked quickly noticing what the woman was looking through. When Ursula looked up with a slightly annoyed look at the nosy waitress. Ruby stepped back with a sheepish smile. "Sorry I am just a little curious since you were seen yesterday but didn't check into the bed and breakfast. We don't get a lot of new people."

"I stayed with a couple of friends of mine before looking for an apartment. To stay in." Ursula replied.

"Who are you staying with?" Ruby asked quickly.

"Regina and Maleficent." Ursula replied.

"Really! I always thought it was cute when Maleficent showed up and she and Regina spent so much time together." Ruby giggled thinking back then.

Ursula smiled. "Those two like to pretend they are tough and heartless. But they are saps."

Ruby laughed. "I know, everyone used to hate the mayor but then after Maleficent came she changed. Not that she is best buddies with everyone or anything. But she just seems so much more approachable and has helped us out a lot." Ruby smiled at the changes that had been going on. "I never got your name." Ruby finally pointed out.

"Ursula." She replied.

Ruby laughed. "What is it with all the villain names around here?"

Ursula smirked. "Who would want a name like Snow White? The villains have the better names."

Ruby nodded. "That is true. Although Aurora is a cool name. And sometimes my friends call me Red. I don't know if that is name really. But what do you plan on doing? Like a job?"

Ursula looked at Ruby. "I am not sure yet. I used to work at the aquarium in Boston but there really isn't anything like that here. I will probably just ask Regina if there is anything at the Mayors office or for the city."

Ruby nodded. "Well, that sounds like a plan. If you are looking for a good apartment then I would look at this one." Ruby said pointing at a specific listing in the paper.

"Why should I choose that one over one of the others?" Ursula asked.

"It is a good price and a decent location. Plus it has the added benefit of belonging to my grandmother rather than Gold like the other apartments." Ruby said with a huff.

"I have heard of this Gold before. Is he really that bad?" Ursula played along knowing full well what Rumpelstiltskin is like.

"He gives me the creeps." The waitress replied with a shiver.

Ursula chuckled. "I will try to avoid him then. But I am also going to need to find a second apartment or home that has 3 Bedrooms."

Ruby looked surprised at this. "There are more people coming here?"

Ursula nodded. "A couple of friends of mine and their two kids are going to be moving in."

"That's great! So many new people!" Ruby then pointed out a house that was for sale a good price since nobody had moved in a while so the price got lowered several times. (The house Emma got after becoming the Dark One.)

"It looks great. Thanks for the help." Ursula was thankful since this cut a lot of looking out and now all she had to go do was look at them in person.

"Ruby! Get to work!" Shouted a voice from the back of the diner.

"I know!" She shouted back in a huff. Ruby turned back to Ursula. "Sorry about that. I am just tired of working here all day. I never get any time to myself."

Ursula thought for a minute before she remembered something. "One of my friends that is moving here works as a waitress. She may be looking for a job."

Ruby brightened up at that. "Really! That would be great." She sighed and went back to work.


Ursula left the diner to look around the town. She was walking through the city park when she was suddenly attacked by a dog.

"Pongo! Stop!" A shout came and the dog got off of Ursula.

Ursula was a little put off about it but it was also a little nostalgic. It had been a long time since Ursula's friend Cruella had died. No one was sure what had happened but seeing this dog again had brought back old memories.

"I am so sorry!" Apologized the red-haired man that was trying to help her up.

"It's alright. It happens." She brushed off.

"I don't know what it is. He always runs off whenever I try to take him on a walk." He complained trying to get the dog to calm down.

She looked over at the dog which had a lot of energy. "How often do you take him out on a walk?"

"I usually take him out in the morning like right now before I have to work and then again in the evening at the end of the day." He replied confused.

"What about the rest of the day?" Ursula asked again thinking she understood what was going on.

"He just lays down in my office while I work." He answered still not sure where this was going.

Ursula nodded. "Dalmatians are very active dogs. They require a lot of time to run around and be outside. If he is only out for a small walk twice a day it won't be enough to burn off the energy. I take it he has issues going to bed at night and is often restless." The man nodded. "I would suggest letting him out more often. Get a fenced in yard or even a long cord that can be tied to a tree so he doesn't run off but is still able to spend more time outside to burn off the energy." She explained remembering how much her friends Dalmatians ran around.

"Thank you. Are you a vet?" He asked curiously.

She shook her head. "No. I had a friend who had dogs and used to work at an aquarium. I just know a lot about animals."

"Maybe you should talk to the Sheriff Graham. He helps with animals on his off time but with being Sheriff and not having a deputy it is a lot of stress on him." The man walked off with his dog leaving Ursula there thinking.

She didn't think working with animals would be a bad idea. It could be fun to work with animals. There was also the fact that it sounded like the Sheriff was a little overwhelmed and could use a deputy. Emma might be interested in that.

She decided she would need to talk to him sometime about that.


At the end of the day she returned to the mayoral mansion to find Maleficent and Regina there preparing dinner. Ursula sank down into the couch in the living room after a long day of checking out the down as well as touring both the apartment and house.

"How was your first day in Storybrooke?" Maleficent asked curiously.

"It went well. I didn't run into anyone I hated. I think I was able to check out a good apartment for me and a decent house for the girls. And on top of that I have ideas for jobs for all three of us." Ursula explained.

"What job were you thinking of?" Regina asked from the kitchen.

"I ran into a red head with a dog."

"Dr. Hopper. The psychiatrist and also Jiminy Cricket. I don't think you ever met him in the old world." Regina explained.

"Yes. He said that there really isn't a vet or anything for animals and that the Sheriff helps whenever he can. So, I was thinking of maybe opening up a clinic for animals. Also maybe trying to get Emma to be a deputy with her experience as a bail bondsman." Ursula explained.

Regina and Maleficent nodded along. "I never really made a vet in this town when I did the curse since I didn't think about it. Everyone just took care of their own horses and cows in the Enchanted forest." Regina added.

"Should I be worried about working with the Sheriff?" Ursula asked wondering who it was.

"I don't think so. He was the Huntsman and one of my top guards. I did take his heart and force him to do some bad things before including sending him to kill Snow." Regina explained.

All of them knew there was a chance the curse could be breaking soon and were trying to make allies that wouldn't completely turn on them when it did break.

"I will go talk to him about it tomorrow." Ursula explained.

"Have you talked to Gold yet?" Maleficent asked.

"I would rather not." Ursula explained.

"I am willing to bet he already knows you are here. If you stopped by Granny's then everyone in town knows you are here and the name Ursula is not very common." Regina explained slightly amused.

Ursula nodded in understanding. It seemed that Maleficent and Regina had been trying to figure out Golds plans for awhile and have not gotten anywhere. They would never be able to trust him and his motivations must have been important for a scheme that he planned to this scale for so many years.

"There is one thing that we didn't mention before though in front of the girls that we thought you should know." Regina said suddenly.

Ursula looked up at the other two witches a little worried. While they exchanged a few nervous glances to each other.

"It's about the Charmings. And their daughter…."
