At hearing the TARDIS engines, Clara began to wake up. The Professor walked over to where she was, helping her get up. "What happened?" she asked. "Where is everyone?"
"Long story," the Professor answered. "But your safe now. Storybrooke's safe. You are safe."
"I remember being in the Doctor's time stream. You said something to me."
"I gave something to you. I entwined our life force together. Connected us. I think I also gave you magic."
Clara looked back at him. What did he say? She would have said something but couldn't since Leroy, the other dwarfs, Mother Superior and Archie ran over.
"They did it!" Leroy yelled out and laughed in delight. "They saved us!" The Professor and Clara both turned around and greeted the small crowd. When he saw it was only the Professor and Clara, he said in his normal voice, "You did save us, didn't you?"
The Professor nodded. "Yeah. We stopped the self-destruct device. We threw it in a black hole that became the Eye of Harmony. Then Dad, Clara and I had a few adventures before we came back here. Showed her some sights of space and time. Also, I entwined her with my life force. And while that happened, Greg and Tamara kidnapped Henry. Took him through a portal to Neverland."
"Is that where everyone else went?" Mother Superior asked.
The Professor shook his head. "No. They were planning on going to Britain first. As a pit stop."
"So, why did you two stay behind?" Leroy asked.
The Professor took out the cloaking spell and held it out for everyone to see. "Because I had to. For now." He unfurled it and showed the parchment to Mother Superior.
"Is that?" she began, looking up at the Professor.
"A cloaking spell? Yes. It is. Rumple said others were coming."
The group then went to the Storybrooke mines, led by the seven dwarves. As they walked into the mines, Leroy asked, "So who exactly does Gold think is coming?"
"He never said specifically," the Professor said. "Just that they are working with Greg and Tamara."
"Should we panic?" Leroy asked.
"Yeah. Sure Maybe. Just a little," Doctor Hopper said.
"Look," the Professor said. "The sooner the spell gets put up; the sooner everyone can relax. Now, the first thing we need is fairy dust."
"Where do we get fairy dust from?" Clara asked.
"It runs along the walls," Mother Superior said, gesturing to the mine walls.
The dwarves got up to a rock, and Leroy said to Clara, "Careful, sister. Mines are a dangerous place." The Professor held Clara around her waist tightly, with Mother Superior protecting her from the other side. Leroy continued, "No time for whistling, boys. Let's get swinging."
All seven dwarves raised their pickaxes and started to hit the rock, each making a clanging noise as they hit it. Leroy stopped them after about ten hits each, and everyone crowded around. The Professor handed Clara the small bottle of potion. "Here," he said. "Cast your first spell." Clara took it hesitantly and opened it up. She looked around at him. "What is it?" The Professor asked.
"I don't know what I would have to do when I pour the potion over the rocks," Clara said.
"You just need to believe in yourself," Mother Superior said.
Clara nodded, poured the liquid over the rocks, and stood back a little, focusing on believing.
"You might want to believe a little harder," Leroy said, just as an energy beam shot out from the rocks and flew out of the mines, surfacing at a maintenance hole and racing towards the sky, where it began to create a protection forcefield around the town. But what they didn't know was that two of Peter Pan's goons had sneaked over to Storybrooke before the protection spell finished being lowered over.
