Rose was preparing herself for the day. She was in her new room, and things were still not in order. But for her, it was more important to help the town than fix her bedroom. Her father was watching her, standing by the door, as she continued getting ready. He was happy to see her here with him now that the curse broke.

"Why the early bird, sweetie?" He asked her. "I was thinking we could spend the day catching up. We all need it."

"Sorry, papa. But as you can see, I got plans." She answered as she made her way out the room and down the stairs.

"Have you? With what?" He asked and followed her down.

"I'm helping the town with what happened last night."

"You don't have to" He reminded her. She didn't make the mess the wrath left behind.

"I know. But I want to."

"Rosemary-"

"Hey, it's your fault that the town is like this. And unlike before, I will do something about it instead of waiting around indoors." She decided and left the house in a good mood with herself. Rumple continued to watch her from the window. She got on her bike and rode off. He knows his daughter is a good person, but with the curse broken, what might the town think of her now?

"Is everything alright?" Belle asked, noticing his expression and feeling troubled herself.

"Everything is fine." He didn't sound to sure, though.

Even with good intentions, Rose did not feel so welcomed when she showed up to help. Every person by then already received the rumor of who she is and who her father was. Glares were thrown at her and negative whispers were definitely heard. Maybe her father was right, again.

Rose left the town hall and decided to head for her father's shop instead of home. After getting off her bike, she saw David Nolan (Prince Charming) marching out of the shop and into his truck. Driving away in a hurry. She then heard crashes and shouting coming from the inside. She ditched he bike and ran inside to see what was going on. Shattered glass and broken objects were all over the floor. The picture reminded her too much of when her papa did that right after his fight with Belle in the castle.

Speaking of the dark one, he was still hitting things with his cane. Crying and shouting.

"Papa, stop!" She screamed in horror. No second later, he stopped and lost strength to hold his cane. He took one look at his daughter with guilt and sadness in his eyes

"I'm so sorry, sweetheart…." He cried and held her tight in his arms. Rose tried to comfort him by returning the hug.

"I'm so sorry….. So sorry…."

"Shh. It's okay, papa. What happened? I'm guessing Charming wanted something." That was the only thing she could think of for being the reason why he was acting like this.

"He wanted a potion to find someone. But he delivered me an unpleasant announcement."

"What did he say?" She asked. If her father got this upset over something Charming said, it couldn't have been good for them. He pulled away to look at her, but felt the pain again. His could feel his eyes getting watery again, and he did not want the truth to hurt her, But he knew there was no point in hiding it. She would find out sooner or later.

"We can not go and find Baelfire." She was confused. That was the whole point of coming to this world. To finally find her brother. Was his dark side acting up again?

"But papa, you said-"

"I-I know what I said. What I am saying is…… we can't leave."

"Why?" She still didn't understand.

"Apparently, if you cross the town line, you lose your memories. You end up with the curse memories only." He explained.

This was bad news. They had waited decades and decades to reunite their family. And all that time was wasted all because of the town line? She started to cry herself. Rumple took her back in his arms. Laying her head on his shoulders to cry on.

"I am so sorry my sweetheart, I am so sorry."

Rose ended up going back home. Her motivation disappeared for the day. All she wanted to do now was to lay down on her bed.

She noticed that a group of people were talking in secret as she pass by. She assumed they were about her, since they were doing that earlier. Bu to her surprise, the discussion was about Henry.

She hid behind a tree to eavesdrop on what Ruby and Charming were saying.

"She has Henry! She's threatening everyone."

"She has Henry?"

"She showed up at the town meeting. The one you missed. Her magic is back! Everyone is panicking. They want to leave town. They're going to lose everything!"

"But I have to go after him-"

Rose had heard enough and didn't care what else they said. It was clear to her that Charming was not thinking straight. She was not going to risk another second to see if he would go and save Henry. Not when she can.

Rose opened the door of the Mills house. She marched right in to the dining are where she found Regina. Regina was taken by surprise of seeing the teenager back so soon.

"R-Rose! H-How are you?" The woman nervously asked her. But Rose ignored her question and pointed her want straight at her.

"Where's Henry? I want to see him." She demanded to know. Regina had to admit this was not the Rose Mills she knew. Rose Gold was back for sure.

"Henry come down." Regina called out to the boy from upstairs. Rose could only assume he was in his room. Trying to stay away. Regina looked back at Rose and noticed Rose was still on guard with her wand up.

"You won't be using your wand."

"Whatever you throw at me, I can take it. I was taught how to-" Rose stopped talking after her former aunt made a smile. But it wasn't an evil smirk, which confused her.

"Of course you were taught. What I meant was, that you won't be needing it." Regina correctly said.

Footsteps were heard coming down the stairs, Rose soon saw Henry. The two made eye contact and rushed towards the other for a hug. They hugged so tight like never before.

"Rose! You're here! I've missed you so much." Henry cheered.

"Right back at you, kid." She laughed back. Regina felt hurt as she watched the two kids show such affection towards the other. She never realised how much she truly loved them.

"Henry, Rose is going to take you back to David." Regina's decision surprised them and ended their hug. Giving her their full attention.

"I know I don't know how to love very well. I wasn't capable of it for a very long time. But I know… I remember that if you hold onto something too hard, that does not make them love you." Regina explained. Rose nodded to that. She knew it was hard by personal experience.

"I am sorry that I lied to the both of you. That I made you both feel like you didn't know who you were. In Rose's case, I kept her true identity a secret. But I want the two of you to be here because you want to be here, not because I am forcing you to or by magic. I want to redeem myself. So…. go and get your things. Both of you." Henry raced up the stairs to his room. But Rose didn't.

"I already did that." She explained. Regina was shocked she already did.

"You did? When?"

"Yesterday. Right after you left the house. Sorry I broke in. But in my defense, I still have the key to your house." She sheepishly acted. Regina couldn't help but chuckle at the young girl.

"You should keep it. Just incase."

"You know, you can change. Not completely, obviously. But you can try little by little." Rose encouraged.

"You believe in me?" Regina felt a warm tug in her heart. A hopeful feeling of something good.

"Well, papa had the same problem too. It took him a very, very, very long time to set things right with me. Bu eventually, he did. And I know one day you can too." She smiled.

Rose rode her bike with Henry leaning behind her. They reached to Granny's diner where they saw a worried Charming. When he heard them he quickly ran up to the boy. Getting him off the bike and checking him for any injuries.

"Henry, are you alright? Are you okay? Did Regina hurt you?" He kept on asking, not giving the boy a chance to answer after a while.

"I'm fine Gramps. She let Rose take me away." Henry finally said. Charming looked at him surprised and almost not believing him. After all, the Evil Queen was always a horrible person. This type of action is odd of her to do.

"She did?" He had forgotten that the teenager was still there on her bike. Giving them a wave reminding him she was still there.

"I should go. Henry be safe, and I'm only a call away." Rose said as fast as she could. She felt awkward enough of having Charming and others looking at her in disbelief.

Henry was worried why Rose left them so quickly. When he turned back to face his grandfather, he noticed the he and others were still watching her. Whispering to others and glared at the girl. Henry wasn't happy to see this. Yes, she is Rumpelstiltskin's daughter, but she is a person with feelings too. To him, Rose will always be his big sister.
