"WHO DID THIS?" Rumplestilskin could feel himself seething. Gripping his cane tighter in his hand, he feels himself spin wildly around toward the sound of his little bell above the door ringing. Half of the Charming family clan stands in his doorway, and though normally he would be grinning like a mad man he is too angry to even think straight. Charming and Emma exchange a look and walk slowly forward, guns pointed in front of them. They would never really think to shoot the imp but he was menacing enough to cause someone in town to call the sheriff station.
"What the hell is it Rumple?" Charming asks, practically rolling his eyes and putting the gun back in his holster, crossing his arms.
"Someone, destroyed all my…suits," Rumple practically whispers out the last word, causing Emma's hand to clasp over her mouth to keep herself from laughing. Gold's stare silences her and he begins to make his way out the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" Charming asks, pulling on the man's arm. Rumple shrugs him off and opens the door before flashing them a maniacal smile.
"They destroy my suits, I destroy the town," he answers before slowly letting the door close behind him.
"You can't just do that Gold!" Emma shouts at him, not quite accustomed to using his fairy tale pseudonym.
"WELL I'M SO GLAD I DON'T GIVE A DAMN," he yells back, making his way down Main Street to carry out god knows what.
"Well that plan went well Dad," Emma curses under her breath, looking over the side of the overturned car her family is hiding behind. Neal chuckles slightly before being silenced by Emma's glare. 30 minutes after they had attempted to have him confronted, Rumplestilskin is on a rampage, overturning cars and throwing bursts of magic every which way, which had landed a few people in the unfortunate bodies of mice.
"I don't see you coming up with a better one there Princess!" her father retorts, feeling his wife's grip tighten around his arm. Henry crouches behind his dad; chuckling along with Neal about the strange turn of events. The entire Charming family clan raise their heads above the car as they watch Rumplestilskin again throw a burst of purple smoke out of his hands. He stomps along angrily before seeming to make up his mind and stomp away from Main Street.
"Where is he going?" Snow asks, head turning to look at her family. Everyone but Henry shrug, causing four pairs of eyes to turn to him.
"Well it looked like," Henry begins and both Charming and Neal nod towards him, causing Emma and Snow to swoon slightly at their husbands being so understanding and caring towards him. "He was going to my mom's house," Henry finishes, nodding his head towards the side street. Charming nods once, and quickly grabbing Snow by the hand, leads everyone down the street and towards the large, white mansion.
"THIS IS LOW, even for you your Majesty," Rumple yells, as he slams open the door while Regina sits innocently at the dining room table, sipping her tea.
"To whatever are you referring imp?" Regina asks, swirling her teaspoon around in the cup and placing it in her mouth before licking away the tea; dropping it back softly into the cup.
"Don't play nice with me your majesty, I KNOW," Rumple begins to raise his voice, barely hearing the Charmings quietly open the door and begin to make their way to the imp and the queen. Regina looks extremely puzzled and Charming understands that she truly does not have an idea as to what he is referring to. Finally reaching Regina's side, Charming and Emma both draw out their guns once again as added insurance. Rumple begins to scream again, waving his arms wildly at the queen.
"Don't you understand? She is lying, the queen is lying!" he gestures to his suit in outrage. Regina stands and slowly walks around the table toward Rumplestilskin, clearly barely frightened by his threat.
"Alright imp I destroyed your suits. You needed to be taught a lesson in both fashion and otherwise," Regina winks and turns her back knowing Rumple's stare is piercing through her back.
"YOU MAKE SOME MORE FOR ME RIGHT NOW!" Rumple screams and the entire family looks at each other in confusion.
"Dad, couldn't you just conjure up a few?" Neal asks, before ducking to avoid the teacup being hurled his way.
"I have many powers, but know this, unfortunately all power has its limits," Rumple looks down and the glares back at Regina.
"Fine imp have it your way," with a whisk of her hand as many suits as Gold can carry appear neatly folded in his arms. He giggles gleefully and is interrupted by Regina describing her choices.
"I choose all darker suits, thought they may be a little more appropriate," Regina smiles at her joke while most of the family simply scratch their heads in confusion. Emma rolls her eyes and Henry mutters: "I understood that reference," before being silenced by Emma. Rumple finally walks out the door and the Charmings quickly follow suit, making their way back to the apartment.
"What a crazy day," Charming shakes his head, pulling Snow to him and planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Agreed," voices Neal, mimicking his father in law's motion and causing Emma's face to break out into a wide smile. They all make their way up to the apartment and have barely shut the door when a shriek is heard out in the chilly night air. A sudden rapping comes at the door and Henry opens it quickly to find Granny and Red standing at their doorway.
Snow moves quickly to the door with concern, looking from her best friend to Granny. "What is it?" she asks, voice low, hoping not to provoke Granny who looks as though she may snap someone's neck at any given moment.
"Someone destroyed my crossbow, and they better be willing to damn well PAY," Granny yells before trudging back down the stairs, followed quickly by Red who stares at everyone as though they should follow.
Charming leads the way, rolling his eyes before the entire family follows Granny and Red out into the night.
"Here we go again."
