Everyone stood in solemn silence as the town line grew closer, the curse's ominous presence pushing them toward their inevitable separation. Emma and Henry said their goodbyes, and Aurelia felt her heart ache, knowing that they'd never be able to see each other again in the same way.
Henry approached Aurelia, his face filled with regret. "I wish we could've gotten to know each other more," he said, his voice soft but sincere.
Aurelia pulled him into a tight hug, laughing through her tears. "Me too, Henry. You're the best grand-nephew I could've ever asked for. I know you and Emma will be fine, though. She loves you so much."
Henry smiled, but there was sadness in his eyes. "Thank you, Aurelia. For everything."
Emma walked over, her expression mirroring the bittersweet moment. "I'm really going to miss you," she said, her voice cracking slightly. "We may have only shared a room for one night, but-
Before Aurelia could finish, Emma pulled her into a hug, squeezing her tightly. "I think I'm going to miss the rambling," Emma said with a laugh, pulling back to give her a gentle smile.
As the rumble of thunder echoed in the distance and the eerie green smoke from the curse began to close in, Aurelia gave Emma one last smile and Henry one more hug, stepping back to stand beside David and Mary Margaret.
The wind picked up, swirling the magic in the air as Emma and Henry climbed into the car. The rumble of the engine starting felt like a final farewell. Aurelia watched, her heart heavy, as the car drove toward the town line, taking them away from the life they had all shared.
"I always thought about going back to the Enchanted Forest," Aurelia said quietly to David, her voice barely audible over the growing storm of magic. "But I didn't think it would be like this."
David wrapped an arm around her shoulder, giving her a reassuring squeeze. "I know," he said. "But at least this time, we'll be together. That's what matters."

As the curse rolled over them, Aurelia's vision went black. She could feel the magic swirling around her, her grip on David's hand tightening. It felt as if she were standing in the middle of a hurricane, the force of the curse enveloping them.
And then, just as quickly as it came, the curse was gone.
Aurelia blinked, her eyes adjusting to the new light. She looked around and realized they were no longer in Storybrooke. They were back in the Enchanted Forest, standing in a vast field. Everyone, including herself, was dressed in the same clothes they wore the night of Regina's original curse.
Her dress, once tattered and worn from her time in Neverland, was now restored, as if the years of wear and tear had never happened.
"Snow? What happened?" a voice cried out. Aurelia looked up to see a man and woman, unfamiliar to her, staring in shock at their group.
