Disclaimer: I don't know anything about Once Upom A Time, but this was suggested, so tada!
Happy Birthday, M.J.! (And to Anthony Ramos as well! (I am excited about this!)) Sorry about the lateness, I had this written, but I just got time to publish it. I am going to change the name, so please review with a suggestion!
George and Martha Washington missed their son so dearly. But alas, there was nothing they could do.
Alexander Hamilton cried, remembering his parents. They had been so sweet and caring, but they had been taken to the real world from the Enchanted Forest when he was a baby. He still remembered them.
Alexander had been taken with them, but something had gone wrong, and he hadn't seen them since.
Little did he know that he had been separated on purpose, as he had to fulfill his destiny of saving the Enchanted realm and the people in it. For this to happen, he had to live as a runaway orphan until the age of 28.
Alexander was now 23, and he had lived alone his whole life as an orphan. Then, one day, he had met another orphan (well, the boy wasn't exactly an orphan, he had run away from his home with a lot of money, but anyway), with the most beautiful freckles and curly hair, and who introduced himself as John Laurens.
Both boys had been struck by the other's beauty. They had fallen in love, and now lived in a small house in the real world, bought by John's money.
Until one day, a young boy came knocking at their door, claiming to be Alexander's son, Philip. John had been shocked, he thought Alexander was gay, and had lived with John his whole life. Alexander tried to persuade John that this boy was not his son, but John wouldn't hear it.
Until Philip started explaining Alexander's story, of being an orphan, of being cursed, of his parents, and Alexander remembered all these things. Alexander broke down crying, John rubbing his back. Philip begged Alexander to come with him to the city of people who had been cursed in the Enchanted Forest, a town called Washington Heights.
Now it is the present.
When Alexander, John, and Philip reach the town, they are lost. They begin asking people for information about how to reach the city center. Most people brush them off, but one man stops.
He tells them to continue on their path until they reached the big circular fountain, then to follow the red line on the ground. The group thanks the man, and asks what his name is. He doesn't reply for several moments. Then he stutters, "Uh... I don't remember."
As the group moves on, Alexander contemplates. Finally, he says aloud, "That man reminded me a lot of Aaron Burr from the Enchanted Forest. I remember my father talking about him a lot."
John says, "Then why didn't he remember his own name?"
Alexander mumbles, "I don't know."
Philip cuts in, "All these people lived in the Enchanted Forest, but they were cursed and transported to the real world, and don't remember who they were there."
By this time, they have reached the city center.
Philip rushes into a corner, pulling Alexander and John with him. "Yeah, so the mayor of this town is the
evil guy who cursed these people, he came here to control the cursed people and keep them cursed, your job is to take him down. Just be careful, I brought you all here because your names were in the prophecy the mayor read in private. He knows you are capable of taking him down, so he will be furious with you. Please don't mention me." He begs.
"Prophecy? What prophecy? And how did you hear it if he listened in private?" Alexander questions.
"Please don't ask so many questions. I just wanted to warn you." Philip answers.
"Fine. We'll go. Come on, John." Alexander leaves, pulling John's arm around him.
"Alexander? What if something happens? What if one of us dies? I can't live without you!" John whimpers.
"Don't worry, Jackie. I'll protect you until the end." Alexander replies gallantly.
As they head off, they question people about what the mayor's name is. Most people will not answer, or simply say, "The Unnameable Mayor" and refuse or forget their names, much like "Aaron Burr" did.
"We should get disguises." John remarks as they walk past a Halloween store.
"Yeah. Oh wait, the mayor is having a Halloween costume party tomorrow!" Alexander says, seeing a poster advertising the event.
"Rather odd for a mayor that cursed everyone and rules with an iron fist."John remarks amusedly.
"Oh well. Maybe he's a weirdo that tortures everyone for his sick enjoyment." Alexander muses.
"Probably." John answers, and then they lapse into silence.
They enter the costume store, choosing the most conventional and normal person looking costumes before paying and hurrying to the palace where the mayor lives.
Today the mayor is having open talk time (sorry, I don't know the word - you get what I mean, right?) , where people can come and suggest changes to the government, but in front of the rest of the town. The mayor tries to accommodate the requests in a way that the people won't find out they used to live in the Enchanted Forest, which is why he holds these at all, to judge how much they know, because he has no further interaction with them when he retires to his "mayoral" palace (more like a king, don't you think?;)).
Alex and John request a private conference. The messenger goes to inform the mayor.
The mayor sends back word that the people requiring a private conference will have to wait until the town has finished, likely in about 5 hours. Alex and John accept this, leaving to get a hotel room.
They secure a room, crawling into a bed. They promptly fall asleep, waking up only when the alarm rings very loudly and almost jumps off the table (isn't that what it always does? ;)).
They dress hurriedly into their costumes, giving their names as Andreas Dias and Fernando Bart, as they both look a little bit Latino. The messenger looks at them quizically, and Alex realizes that most people here can't remember their names and that the names Alex and John have given don't correspond to any people who may have lived in the Enchanted Forest. Oh well, too late now. He thinks.
They are admitted to the king's private room, where they see him facing the wall with his back to them.
Alex calls out, "Hello, sir!"
At which, the king whips around, swishing his magenta coat. They see his face, his curly hair bouncing.
Realization flits across Alex's face. "Wait a second!" He exclaims. "I know you, you're...'
Most of you probably already know who the mayor is by now, but if you don't I'd love to see your predictions! Also, I don't know anything about this show, so please pardon me if I made any mistakes, if you can help with clarifying anything that would be lovely. I have written the next chapter already, I desired a cliff-hanger, sort of. I hope you like it, M.J.! Happy Birthday! Will Alex and John be able to defeat the villain? Please review! I love reading them, they're awesome!
