A/N: I started writing this concept over 3 years ago... i have others like this I am going to start posting... I just felt bad because there were so many I had not finished posting or writing... but I just need to air out and dump some of my other stories. forgive me, these are massive conceptually and take up all of my time I shall endeavor to finish them as long as my depression symptoms stay at bay.

The Wardrobe

"Gepetto is putting the finishing touches on the wardrobe now," Ruby said running into the room where a laboring Snow lay. "I'll help you get her in it."

David nodded and between him and Ruby they got Snow to Emma's nursery. "The queen is coming!" A shout came from down the hall. Causing David to look at his bride.

"Snow, I love you. I know you will find me." He said and kissed her lips. Tears sprung in the laboring mother's eyes as her best friend dragged her the rest of the way to the nursery.

David drew his sword and fought the guards back while his wife and daughter made their escape.

In the nursery, Snow climbed into the wardrobe her sobs of pain and loss combining. "Ruby, Make sure he knows I love him."

"Snow, he knows," Ruby said and hugged her friend. "Come back for us."

Then she stepped back and closed the wardrobe doors just as the purple cloud enveloped her.

Regina awoke and smiled. She'd done it. She had placed the ultimate curse. She looked around her luxurious room with plush white carpeting and a giant soft bed. And stepped out of it. She took in her surroundings and remembered the knowledge needed to survive in this world that came from the curse.

"Indoor plumbing!" She said and ran toward the ensuite The toilet and bathtub and the shower… she laughed out loud and wondered if everyone in her new town was as miserable as she was happy.

Especially Snow White and that shepherd boy.

She stepped out onto the street and walked the town. Everyone looked miserable. Ruby and Granny arguing. Gepetto or Marco hanging a sign fixing things for others.

Rumplestilskin, his injury made it hard for him to move in a land without magic, but she had kept her promise by giving him a better life.

She hadn't spotted her nemesis, but then again… she had a lifetime to find her. She cackled as she continued her walk in her town, and found herself headed to work in her new Job. A Job where she ruled it all.
