"I hope you make you decision wisely," Mother Superior said.

"I think I know what to do," I put the small test tube in my coat pocket.

The town hall doors just opened and people were starting to come out.

"Good Luck," Mother Superior patted my shoulder and walked away.

Before I could even see Regina, "Who are you?" Dr. Whale approached me, "How do you know who I am or what land I came from? Not many people know who I am."

I quickly found a scapegoat. I grabbed Ruby who was with Regina and trying to have small talk with her, "Ruby got drunk and told me."

"It's not that simple!" He swore.

"Laura, let's go," I grabbed Regina's hand and wanted to walk her to my bike.

"Laura? Millie? Carmilla! You are the Vampire Queen," He yelled, "Monster!"

"Go away," I yelled back, "I just want to live a normal simple life. I didn't want to be a monster, but you created a monster."

I got on my bike with Regina and we rode home with Dr. Whale screaming behind us.

Within the next hours, most people had already made up their mind - all of them picked option one, returning to the Enchanted Forest. Their journey started the next day, after they did their packing.

The evacuating got a few stages. On the first day, they sent a few dwarfs and a few fairies to clean up everything. On the second day, they sent families and children, followed by couples. On the third day, they sent the rest of the residents of Storybrooke, with the exception of the "clean-up crews".

By the end of the day, they had used up their last Magic Beans. They must wait another two weeks to harvest the next batch of beans from the plant in the Mayor's office.

That night, the remaining people were invited to Granny's for dinner meeting. Actually, there were only thirty-something people left in town. Although I couldn't eat, I had decided to join and socialize with them. I sat down at one of the tables and started reading the menu.

"Can I get you anything?" Granny asked.

"Probably not," I answered.

"Free food. Help me clean out the freezer. I hate seeing the food going to waste," Granny complained.

"If you give me food, then it will go to waste," I replied.

"She doesn't like your food," Then I heard a man voice, "Trust me, I am a doctor." He placed a freezer box next to me on the table, "Get her an empty glass."

Granny walked away and returned with an empty glass. Dr. Whale and Ruby sat down opposite to me. "I found this in the hospital freezer. I figured you would want some." He took out a bag of blood and poured it in the glass. I took a sip. It tasted horrible, but since I hadn't eaten anything for a while, bad blood was better than no blood.

"So, I am your friend now?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I might have over-reacted the other day," He apologized, "Ruby had a talk with me afterward and convinced me that everyone deserved a second chance."

"Apology accepted," I was nothing if not forgiving, "So, are you going home or moving to the Enchanted Forest?"

"Home," He said, "I have a brother waiting for me. Ruby has agreed to go with me, so is her Granny." Ruby nodded and showed her ring.

"That's cool," I laughed, "Look like little Victor is getting hitched soon."

"What about you? You are coming with us, right?" Ruby asked.

"I..." Suddenly, the room went quiet. Everybody turned his head at the door. Regina came in. Henry quickly ran to hug her.

"Who invited her?" Leroy asked. I was finally getting better with names.

"I did. She is family," SnowWhite said.

Everybody resumed talking and ignored the new guest. It was sad to see her get rejected. Even Mr. Gold, the creator of the curse, didn't get the same treatment.

"Regina! Come sit with me," I moved over and gave her some siting space. I hadn't seen Regina for three days. She had been staying in her big empty house in solitude. There were moments when I wanted to talk to her, but I didn't have enough courage to say it.

"It's all right, I want a moment with Henry," She walked to another booth.

I texted her, "Tonight after dinner at your place. I want to talk." She looked at her phone, and then at me, she nodded.

"Anyway, are you going with us?" Ruby asked.

"Unfortunately no," I said, "I have decided to do something else with my life."

"Made up your mind already?" Mother Superior walked by and took the place I saved for Regina.

"Thanks to you, yes," I touched my coat pocket.

"You are not planning to be a nun, are you?" Dr. Whale asked.

"Even if I am, that's not your problem," I said, "I am not Ruby." I stuck my tongue out.

Ding ding ding, Leroy tapped his glass with a knife, "It seems that everyone is here now. Nova and I have an announcement to make."

He held hands with one of the nuns, "I know I was always the loudest one talking about returning to the Enchanted Forest, but I once promised that I would go see the world with Nova. If we go back, we will return to our old self. I understand that a dwarf and a fairy can never be together, but two humans can. So, we have decided to stay. Brothers, I am sorry, but I must find my own happiness. You must take your journey without me. But, hey, you have Tiny to take my place now!" He laughed. He turned to my direction; "Blue Fairy, Nova and I thank you for your understanding."

Mother Superior smiled and gave her blessing.

"I am so happy for you two, but we are all going to miss you very much!" SnowWhite and the three remaining dwarfs went to shake their hands.

"We have something to say too!" Ruby stood up and walked to the center of the room with Dr. Whale, "Granny and I have, too, decided to not return to the Enchanted Forest. Victor proposed. We will travel to the Land Without Colour with him."

"Congratulation!" People started lining up to give their blessings.

"Neal and I have decided to return to the Enchanted Forest, for Henry's sake," Emma announced too. She placed her hands on Henry's shoulders.

Mr. Gold hugged his son, "Belle and I are so glad that you are coming with us." Lacey has regained her pre-cursed memory.

"I am not giving you second chance," Neal said.

"Sure," Mr. Gold said, "I will prove to you and Belle that I am worthy of you two."

"Regina, have you decide..." Emma looked around and Regina was gone.

"Granny, spaghetti with meatball to go," I said.

"Finally decided to eat, huh?" Granny teased.

I grabbed the takeout and went to Regina's place. She didn't answer the doorbell, but she was inside the house. I unlocked the door and let myself in.

"Regina, you okay?" I asked, "I've brought take-out from Granny's."

She curled up on her couch. She wiped the tear off her face, "Who told you that you could come in and watch me cry?"

"I told myself," I sat down next to her and lay out the food, "Why did you go so early? You haven't even had food yet."

She held me and started crying. I patted her head like she was a little girl. "Everything is going to be okay."

"They are going to take Henry back to the Enchanted Forest, without me," She cried.

"They offered to take you back," I tried to comfort her.

"They offered to trap me in a jail cell," She buried her head on my shoulder.

"So, do you want to stay here then?" I asked.

"Take me, take me to your land," She begged.

"I am sorry, I can't," I declined.

"You lied to me. You promised," Her eyes wide opened, but her body refused to push me away.

"I will never abandon you," I said, "There has been something on my mind lately."

"You are breaking up with me?" She asked.

"We never dated, how could we break up?" I laughed and hugged her closer.

"Then what?"

"I am not returning to the Land Without Colour, or staying in Storybrooke," I waited for her reaction, "I am taking the third option."
