Chapter Eight - Broken
Season 2 - Episode 1
There was an Enchanted forest filled with all the classic characters we know.
Or think we know.
One day, they found themselves trapped in a place where all their happy endings were stolen.
Our World.
This is how it happened...
In New York City, a man in a business suit walks down the street, travelling by foot, down to the subway, until he arrives at his apartment. Inside, he sees it's raining outside. He notices his window open and tries closing it, accidentally dropping his phone onto the fire escape. Frustrated, and with the window remaining open, he leans his head against the window sill when suddenly, a pigeon lands on the sill and then quickly flies away. When he looks up, he sees that he left a postcard from Storybrooke; he looks at it and then flips to the back with the words 'broken' written on it.

Prince Philip and Mulan ride toward an abandoned castle on horseback; when they arrive, they discover Princess Aurora lying on a dias, seemingly under a sleeping spell. The Prince cuts through the vines while Mulan hangs back, letting him do the leg work. "If this works, we don't tell her everything," Phillip warns his travelling companion. "Not right away." Mulan nods, agreeing with him for now, and the Prince kisses Aurora, which breaks the spell, waking her up as a pulse of magic spreads throughout the land.
"Phillip..." Aurora gasps, looking at her beloved.
"Yes, Aurora," He smiles down at her.
"I told you not to come after me," she replies. They kiss again and pull apart, and Phillip helps her off the dais. "How long have I been asleep? What happened?"
"It doesn't matter," The Prince assures her. "The worst of it is over. Now that we're together, we'll restore this castle and our kingdom. As we dreamt. We'll be here always."
"Where is everyone? Why does it need to be rebuilt?" The Princess asks him.
"It's a long story. And you, my love, need rest," Phillip replies, not wanting to talk about it till they're safely back at the safe haven.
"I've had my fill of rest," Aurora assures him, feeling wide awake.
"Come with me. Our people have gathered in a new safe haven. We must join them," He informs her.
"A safe haven... From Maleficent?" She asks him, completely out of the loop.
"No. Worry not – she can no longer harm us," The Prince promises her, wanting to get her to safety.
"First, she goes after my mother, then me. Forgive me if I'm still a bit wary," Sleeping Beauty replies.
"Don't be. There are new dangers now. But nothing we can't handle," Phillip assures her.

In Storybrooke, the purple smoke swirls around the town, and Mary Margaret and David hug in the middle of the main street. "What's happening?" Mary Margaret questions, looking at the purple smoke.
