"Belle. There you are."

"Rumple, what's happening?" She asked.

"Long story, dear. All you need to know is that this might be our last time together."

"What?" She sounded frightened.

"Storybrooke, I'm afraid, is going to disappear...along with us."

"What about my carpet?" Jasmine asked as Belle finally noticed the third person in the room.

"What!?" The princess asked as the long shaking finally ended. This one, the longest out of all of them so far.

"My father's magic carpet. It can travel between lands. Couldn't we have everyone-"

"I'm afraid that might take too long...and who knows what land everyone will travel to. That carpet can send you anywhere, and everyone here might be split into several lands all at once." Rumple answered.

"Then what do we do?" Belle asked.

"We wait. And we see if our dear mayor, makes the right decision."

They looked around at the many fallen things in the shop.

"What would she do to stop it?" Belle wondered.

"Either just break it off with David. Or, the way that he's been reacting to all of this...she may have to erase his memories. Along with ours."

He had begun to open his safe and he took out a potion bottle.

"What's that for?" Jasmine asked.

"It's to stop us from forgetting. She may cast her memory charm, but we'll be able to remember."

"Why?" Belle demanded.

"Because...someone's gotta remember. You'd be amazed at how much power you can have over someone when you know a tiny little secret." He smiled, devilishly.

"Rumple, if this is about revenge. Please don't!" Belle protested.

"This is not about revenge. It's about protection."

"From what?"

"Anything." He took a little sip and she grew furious. "Please, just drink it...Please."

She hesitated, but eventually drank it and he gave the last drop to Jasmine. The teen looked out the window and saw a large crowd of people heading in the same direction. A woman with a red leather jacket and long blonde hair was leading them with a short-haired brunette woman beside her.

"Where are they going?" She asked, creeping closer and closer to the window. Causing Belle to do the same.

"I don't know." She answered. "Rumple?"

"One's coming this way." Jasmine said before Gold could answer.

Emma entered the shop anxiously. "We're all meeting at the town hall. Regina says that there's a magic bean that can bring us all back to the Enchanted Forest before this town crumbles around us."

"Do you really think it will work?" Belle asked.

"It's kind of a long shot, yes. But we must try something. And we don't have all day to talk about it, so come on."

They all left hastily and Jasmine felt very out of place. For the first time seeing this town, it was destroyed and completely in ruins. They arrived at the town hall where everyone was there and people gathered with their loved ones. Jasmine, however, was the only one with no one to hold. She felt awkward and didn't want to be there with all of the love that she watched other people give.

She turned to leave and Belle put her hand on her shoulder. "Where are you going?"

"Oh, I was just going to go find a bathroom." She lied.

"Be careful." The woman smiled at her and let the young girl go. As Jasmine walked out of the first set of doors, she saw a man and a woman enter and she quickly hid behind one of the open, double doors.

They walked into the town hall and she was about to leave when she realized that everyone in the room stood upon their entrance. Still out of sight, she watched from behind the door.

"I'm afraid we couldn't-" The man said, holding hands with the woman beside him. Jasmine watched as everyone broke down in tears, embracing their family members and the man turned to the woman. "Regina, I-"

"It's alright, David. Go see your family." He kissed her on the forehead before going over to the blonde and the short haired brunette that the teen girl recognized from earlier.

"Mom? Dad?" The blonde said as she cried, they all went in for a big hug, including a young boy who squeezed out of the hug shortly after it began and walked over to the woman that Jasmine suspected was her own mother, due to the man calling her Regina.

"I love you, Mom." The boy said.

"She has a son, too?" Jasmine asked herself, realizing more and more how unimportant she was.

The tall, blonde man (who was awkwardly the father of a girl his own age) stepped up to Regina and kissed her before putting his hand on her stomach. He bent down to talk to the baby.

"Hey Ariana, I just wanted you to know how much Mommy and Daddy love you. We wish we could hold you right now. Maybe one day." The man called David kissed the woman's stomach and they cried.

"I love you so much, David."

"I love you more."

"I doubt it." The woman smiled through her tears.

They kissed again and Jasmine decided to leave. She wasn't wanted here, nor did it matter now because they were all gonna die. She began to leave before feeling the most violent aftershock of them all. She felt the whole world crumble around her.

"David? I have to!" Jasmine heard her mother yell.

"What!?" The man could hardly hear her because of all the shaking.

"I have to do it! This isn't the way!"

"Regina! What are you talking about?!"

"You know how much I love you, right?!"

"Of course I do!"

"Then you understand?!"

"Understand what, Regina?!"

"Why I have to do this!"

"Regina! What are you saying?!"

"I love you!" She yelled one last time as Jasmine, still unseen, watched her sob.

The woman waved her hand very slowly and suddenly, the shaking stopped. Jasmine, confused, had no idea what just happened. She stared into the room and noticed that no one else seemed to understand either. Until she looked at the man and woman (called Belle and Rumple?) who had been at the shop with her. They both exchanged looks that expressed that the potion they had drank worked and they still had their memories.

Everyone else recollected themselves and looked around. They couldn't remember what they were doing there.

"Regina? What's going on?" The woman with the red leather jacket asked. "What are we doing here?"

"We were discussing my resignation as mayor and the power went out." Jasmine heard the pain in her voice as she lied. She looked as though she might cry.

"Your resignation?" The short haired brunette said, as she held David's hand.

"Yes. I have a daughter to raise, and I feel as though you need someone better than me as your mayor. I'm sorry for everything I've done in the past and I will leave you alone for the remainder of your days."

"You have a daughter to raise?" The blonde woman was now confused.

Jasmine grew more sad as the resigning mayor put her hand on her stomach. "Yes...Olivia." The hiding teen felt a tear escape her eye as she watched her mother smile when she said the name. She was surprised that Regina said 'Olivia' after David had just called her 'Ariana.'

"Who's the father?" The woman holding David's hand asked.

Jasmine was curious as to what the fake answer would be as Regina looked at the real father.

"Graham. Graham's the father." She turned to leave and Jasmine quickly sunk back behind the door, realizing that she had unconsciously moved out too much when she was trying to watch more happen.

Suddenly, just as Regina reached the door she stopped, causing butterflies to form in Jasmine's stomach. Had she seen or heard her? The young girl relaxed when she realized that she had stopped to look back once more at the hugging family and the young boy who seemed to have forgotten about her, even though she was his mother. Jasmine didn't understand that, and she grew angry with the boy. He had a mother who clearly loved him. Her mother. And he didn't even act like she was there.

Regina looked down at the floor in sadness and turned to leave. As she walked away, Jasmine came back from behind the door and a few slow tears ran down her cheeks as she noticed the feelings that both she and her mother shared. The pain, the hurt, the feeling of being forgotten, and the unimportance.

It took all of Jasmine's strength not to run after her mother. But she believed that if she were to appear in Regina's life at this hard time, it would only make the former mayor's life worse. Jasmine was only the baby that was taken and never searched for. She wasn't wanted. Her existence in this world...in any world was pointless.

Jasmine had wanted to see her mother so badly in the past. Then, she finally realized, that the past was just that...the past. And there was no going back to change it.
