They Searched for True Love and failed, but it found them together:

Belle is distraught after the revelation from Rumpelstiltskin about how he feels about her and decides to get a drink to quell some of her hurt feelings, she sees the Rabbit hole bar and enters. Belle sits down next to a stranger and before she can tell the barkeep what she wants the man next to her says "a glass of MacCutcheon scotch for me and the lady". The barkeep listened and got the drinks for them.

Belle stated, "you didn't need to do that".

The man says, "yes I did because I know exactly how you feel".

Belle replied angrily "how do you know what I what I feel".

The man answered, "because the curse broke, freeing us from our suffering but you and me and here drinking our misery away because we now remember how shit our lives were before the curse". Belle acknowledged this and the man continued "I can also tell by the look on your face that someone as just the love of your life rip your heart away and crush the love you thought you had because it suited them to use and abuse you".

Belle admitted "well you sir are correct with that one but how did you know that was exactly how I felt".

The man admitted "because that's exactly how I look, feel, and am".

Belle said "well then good to know I'm not alone. You want to tell me your story if I tell you mine".

The man said "sure, before the curse I was in Wonderland, my girlfriend her name was Anastacia and we went to Wonderland to start a new life but we were still poor as all fuck and she decided to through me under the bus all for a fucking crown. She married the king and became the fucking Queen of Wonderland".

Belle asked "you mean the Queen of Hearts".

The man answered "no but they are both bitches who will rip out your heart, one just literally does it. No my Anastasia is the Red Queen who just threw me away telling me that she never loved me and used me to get better in life but when I couldn't provide it, used me to get to where she is now and told me because she got what she truly wanted and thought I deserved to know the truth about her never loving me. So I left Wonderland heartbroken and as soon as I made it to the Enchanted Forest, bam Queen's curse hit.".

Belle replied "my love used me too, I made a deal with him to be his servant if he saved my kingdom, he did and I served him. I began to fall in love with him but he never loved me back but he didn't want to lose me for his own benefit. So he kept me around until I made an advance on him. He threw me away acting as if it was just him unable to accept love and not him unable to love me. I left and tried to return but was captured by the Evil Queen until the curse came. Once it ended he finally revealed the truth to me and couldn't let me go on thinking their was a chance between us and worst of all the man I believed I loved was the dark one".

The man replied "the Queen thought cursing us; was the worst thing but I would do anything to be cursed again and forget my pain".

Belle answered "I was cursed to not have any memories, so I got nothing to compare it too but I would like to go back to knowing nothing at all".

The man said "okay since I don't know your real name and you don't know mine, how about you make up your curse self and I'll tell you my curse self".

Belle agreed "okay let's hear it".

The man said "okay my name is Charlie Pace, my middle name is Will. I am a struggling recovering drug addict who believes he is the bass guitarist in a band called DriveShaft who got by one drugs before by stealing from the rich. I came to this town is hopes to restart my band but it didn't work and because I had nothing, I had no reason to leave.

Belle replied "my name is Claire Littleton my middle name is Lacey. I am from Sydney, Australia and came to Storybrooke to give my baby up for adoption but I lost it on the way. I was so distraught by the loss of my baby that I never left because I had nothing left to go back too because my dad had his real family in LA and my mother is in a coma that she'll never wake up from.

Charlie exclaimed "now that's a curse story, a real tragedy that no one can come back from".

Belle informed him "it is a curse remember".

Charlie answered "I remember and even though it was horrible, it was better than now, that is until I met you because for the first time in forever I haven't felt alone".

Belle replied " you know what, I didn't think this would happen after what happened to me but I feel the same way".

Charlie asked, "you want another drink".

Belle answered "yes, thank you, nice to meet you Charlie".

Charlie replied, "nice to meet you".

Charlie walked her to her new home that night and before he left he told her "my real name is Will by the way, Will Scarlet. I was a merry man with Robin Hood until I went to Wonderland.

Belle replied "my name was Belle in the enchanted forest".

Will asked "you mean like Beauty and the Beast, Belle because in this land, our lives are books and movies and yours was a love story".

Belle replied "then yes but ours wasn't a love story, it was a tragedy".

Will insisted "maybe that because it's not the ending, I once thought so too but that was until I met you. I would like to see you tomorrow for breakfast at Granny's.

Belle said "I would love too, Goodnight Will".

Belle and Will began dating and soon professed their love for each other and got married soon after the defeat of the Wicked Witch. Belle found out not long later that she was pregnant and gave birth to twin boys named Aaron and Gideon.
