Disclaimer: I do not own Once Upon a Time or it's Characters, they belong to their respective owners. I do, however, own Storm and her alter ego as well as Striker and his alter ego and their story line. This has come from the haunted, depraved, tortured darkness that is my mind.
electrogirl88: Oh yes, the romance is here and will continued to grow but true loves road is never flat and easy to follow and this won't be either ;P
Nicksmom3612: Thank you, I've been trying to keep the characters as close to their originals as possible but damn it, Mr. Gold deserves some love too :D
shippolove844: Thank you and more updates will come soon, I'll try and get another out before ME3 comes out.
Hope and love: Thank you and I will.

=Ms. Star's P.O.V=
"You don't have to worry about Ms. Star, she's really nice"
I glanced up over the top of my magazine and shook my head lightly at the sight of Henry and a blonde woman before lowering my gaze back to my magazine. "You know Regina was in here bitching about you being missing last night right?"
"Sorry Ms. Star" He smiled sheepishly as I placed the magazine down on the counter top.
"It's alright kid," I glanced over the woman beside him. "So are you going to introduce us?" I asked moving round the edge of the counter.
"Sorry, Ms. Star this is my mum, Emma Swan, Emma this is Ms. Star"
"Nice to meet you Miss Swan" I extended my hand as I leant against the front edge of the counter.
"Nice to meet you too" She shook my hand giving a small weak almost nervous smile.
I looked to the clock before looking to Henry. "You need to get to the bus stop; I'm not dealing with Regina's spat if you miss the start of school again"
Henry looked to the clock behind the counter and nodded quickly before rushing out the door throwing a goodbye over his shoulder.
"You sound like you don't like the mayor"
"I don't," I rubbed at my aching temple briefly. "She and I don't always see eye to eye and even less where Henry's involved"
"You've noticed too huh?"
I nodded. "He's a troubled kid who just needs someone to be there for him," I smiled lightly taking a drink from my bottle of water. "He comes in every morning with that book of his"
"You know about the book?" She seemed surprised. "His mother didn't seem too"
"I know about it because I found it, I told Mary Margret it might help him with his problems," I shrugged lightly. "Don't know if I've made things better or worse but at least he's got something to hold onto now"
Emma nodded lightly. "So what do you think about the curse he keeps talking about?"
I shrugged lightly. "It's something to help him cope with what's going on around him I guess, I mean in all honesty I'd probably be the same way he is if I had a mother like her" I grinned lightly gripping the neck of my bottle as another brief flash of pain flashed through my brain.
"Are you alright?"
"Fine, just a headache" I turned heading back around the counter and gripped the edge stalling briefly as an almost crippling pain seared through my brain, images dancing before my eyes briefly before dying down.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
I quickly glanced back up and nodded. "Yeah, fine, I'll talk to you later Miss Swan"
She nodded lightly leaving the store but not before glancing back at me as she walked out the door.
I settled on the stool behind the counter and groaned softly rubbing my aching temples, I still couldn't quite comprehend what had happened only a few moments ago, the brief flash of something had given me cause for concern, it was like a memory but it was obviously not mine.
I winced replaying it over and over in my mind, the words echoing in my mind, visions dancing before my eyes.
"Dinner?"
The woman nodded. "Dinner" She stated simply.
The man stood before her gave a nod. "Alright dearie"
"Then you have a deal Rumpelstiltskin," The woman stated extending her hand to shake his. "I will fetch these ingredients for you and in return you will have dinner with me"
I blinked several times and clutched at my head again as another sharp shot of pain enveloped my brain before subduing and fading just as quick.
I exhaled slowly and looked up smiling softly as Mr. Gold walked in, I could hear his humming the minute he stepped through the door. "You're in a good mood this morning love"
"That I am Ms. Star," He came to a halt in front of me as I stood slowly. "And it's because of you" He stated leaning over the counter and placing a hand on my cheek before kissing my lips.
I blinked rapidly, mind slowly processing what had just happened as he pulled back smiling. He is in a good mood indeed. I felt my cheeks flush and bit my lower lip lightly quelling the gutter thoughts that had begun to crawl from the depths of my mind. "And just, pray do tell, what did I do?"
"Last night Ms. Star," He hummed happily, a smile winding up to his lips. "Last night" He repeated softly before he sighed and turned walking out of the store.
I blinked again, mind still trying to work through everything that had happened in the space of a half hour. I wet my lips idly reaching up to touch them before it dawned in my mind he'd kissed me. I exhaled slowly still fingering my lips before shaking my head lightly. I am so going to live to regret everything I've ever said one day, which reminds me on the way home I need to stop by the supermarket and get some food, I don't think two minute noodles is going to cut it for tonight.
Spoilers (not for the story but for OUAT) so as I've been reading on my main sources of entertainment during the long boring days, Episode 19 (The Return) is going to be about Rumpel and his son Baelfire, cannot fucking wait :D
