I do not own Once Upon a Time.

FYI- "Getting out of hand" is code for "Crap is about to hit the fan".

Amelia spent the rest of the day with Neal, but they knew they were going to have to find out from Emma how she had stopped the Snow Queen. And with Snow Queen gone, would Marian be saved now?

They met up at Granny's.

"So how did you save the day this time, Savior?" Amelia raised her latte to Emma in thanks.

"It was a joint venture. Myself, Elsa and Anna, that's Elsa's sister…" Emma began the story.

"Elsa found her sister? Good for her." Amelia said, so happy for a reunited family.

"Ingrid had a change of heart after hearing a letter that her sister, Elsa and Anna's mother, wrote. It said she was sorry for trapping her in an urn and how she was just scared. She truly loved her sister and wished things could have been different. So Ingrid stopped the curse herself…"

"She sacrificed herself? Wow."

"Yeah, that's one word for it. Now we have to get Elsa, Anna and Kristoff back home." Emma stated.

"Wait, who's Kristoff?" Neal asked, trying to follow the story.

"Sorry, Anna's fiancé'. They came over here with a wishing stone."

"Wishing stone?"

"It's a stone that you can wish on and it will grant your wish. They aren't as rare as homing stones though." Amelia informed them, instantly wishing she had kept her mouth shut. Her knowledge would only lead to other questions.

But clearly both Emma and Neal had other concerns. "How are they going to get home to Arendelle?" Neal asked.

"Not sure yet, we are working on it."

Then Amelia's phone rang, it was Robin. She quickly answered it. "Hey, how is she?" There was silence then a sigh of pure relief. "Alright, I'll meet you over there." She hung up the phone and turned to Neal and Emma. "Marian's fine, Regina stuck her heart back in. I'm meeting them at the duck pond." Amelia gathered her coat, kissed Neal's cheek and left Granny's.

She ran to the pond; she couldn't believe her friend was fine. This reunion was going to be much better than the first one they had.

Up ahead, Marian was feeding ducks with Roland while Robin was sitting on a bench with Regina. Now what would become of that relationship? Amelia was worried but just wanted all parties involved to be happy.

"Aunt Mia!" Roland called when he saw her. Marian had a bright smile on her face as Amelia came closer.

"How are you today, having fun feeding the ducks?" Amelia asked Roland as she hugged him. Then she turned up to Marian. "How are you feeling?"

"Amazing, like I took a very long peaceful nap." Then her eyes rested on her husband and the Evil Queen. "I told him I wanted to be chosen."

"What?" Amelia asked confused.

Marian sat down on the grass and Amelia took a seat next to her. "Robin has lived by a code of honor his whole life, that code tells him that he has to be with the mother of his child for the sake of the child. Even if he is unhappy. It's not that he doesn't love me anymore, but he moved on after my death. That's all I ever wanted for him, not to dwell on the past, but hope for a loving future with someone else. Did I ever think that was going to be the Evil Queen…"

Amelia laughed. "You learn really quick that fate has a sense of humor. So you're really okay with them being together?"

The two women looked over at Robin and Regina. "Look how happy he is." Marian whispered. Robin looked over the moon happy.

Amelia smiled and turned back to Marian. "What are you going to do now?"

Marian looked at her oddly. "I wasn't always Mrs. Robin Hood you know, I had a life before I knew him. Amelia, every princess has a story before their met their Prince Charming. We are not defined by our partners."

Amelia certainly had a life before meeting Neal or Killian and even Benjamin. She squeezed Marian's hand. "Did anyone ever tell you that you're very wise and understanding?"

"No, you should do it more often though." They both laughed and then Marian became serious. "I want to open up a dress shop."

"And be a business woman? That sounds great. I'm here for anything you need."

"I know; you are a very good friend."

Much later that day, after the sun went down, Amelia found herself wandering the streets of Storybrooke, looking for empty building or storefronts. She would prefer one close to the library, just so Amelia could keep an eye on Marian. Or even close to the bakery. Just friends looking out of each other.

Then Amelia saw Killian walking out of Granny's. She stopped dead in her tracks. She should go over to him, during the curse, she had said some things that beyond cruel. She should apologize, be the bigger person for once.

"Killian!" She called out to him, he stopped but didn't turn around until she was right behind him. Was he mad at her? "Hey, so during the curse, I know I said some things…

"Don't worry about it, lass. We were cursed." He gave her a forced smile.

But she kept talking. "But the things I said, I shouldn't have, shouldn't have even gone down that road. They were uncalled for…" She had never felt so guilty in her life. And that was saying a lot.

"Lass, you were under a very powerful curse. You can't be held responsible for your actions." He still sounded so dead pan, as if not only trying to convince her, but also himself.

"So are we ok?" She looked up at him, almost pleading for forgiveness. What was going on?

He nodded, again that forced smile. "Of course. I have your back."

"Okay." Something about this felt wrong but Amelia couldn't put her finger on it. So she nodded and started to walk off.

Getting out of hand… getting out of hand.

Then she froze and it clicked inside her head. She whirled around. "Killian, during the curse; you said things were getting out of hand."

Finally, a break in his emotionless exterior, a weight seemed to be lifted from his shoulders. She understood his clue. "Aye."

Gold, Gold was planning something awful. He was lying to his wife and his son, he had his dagger, and it had nothing to do with protecting the family. It had to do with one person, himself. There was no telling what he would do or how bad it was going to be.

Amelia shook her head. "I'm going to kill him." She growled. She had warned him about testing her loyalty. She stormed away and would have gotten farther if she had not disappeared from the street.

CLIFFHANDER! Because I am mean like that.

As you can see, Marian is fine, hence Robin is not leaving. It broke my heart to see him leave.
