After changing the past, twins Crimson and Cree find themselves living different lives. Now the question is, do they ride it out or go back once again to change history? Can they do it without erasing anyone from their lives? Or themselves?
"Oh come on! It's a harmless question." Chloe nudges Crimson. "Well, it's one I'm not answering." "Oh come on, Cree! It's only natural to be curious!" Red explains. "Yeah, well, curiosity killed the cat." He starts walking away with Bridget. "And satisfaction brought it back." Red smirks. "I'm still not telling you." "Rabbits!" The day continues, they show their parents around school, what has changed since they've been there, both showing them their dorm room. "I'm not surprised the beds are pushed together, you two used to always cuddle and share the bed during your sleepovers." Ella smiles. They look at each other and blush. "Oh I'm sure they're doing much more than cuddling now." Chad teases. Chloe slaps his arm. "Ew." The twins grimace. "Whoops, i keep forgetting they're your kids. It's kinda crazy, how are you so casual about this?" He asks his sister. Of course they already got used to them being here, and being their kids from the future, this is the second time they've time travelled, of course they weren't about to tell their parents that.
"So, anyways, dinner?" Red smiles. "Yes, let's all go to dinner, shall we?" Bridget agrees as she holds Red's hand. They all agree and go to a restaurant, after the Charmings and Bridget bicker over who would pay, much to their kids and grandkids enjoyment, it was settled that they'd split the bill. They all take their seats. Charmings on one side while Chloe, Red and Bridget sit opposite them, with the twins at either end of the table. As they look over their menus, Red and Chloe smiles at each other as they play footsy. Both familes fall into comfortable conversation, stories of the past, most of them involving Red and Chloe. Much to their surprise, they actually do and don't remember every story that their parents bring up. It was an odd feeling, having memories of a past that isn't technically theirs but was theirs. The more they thought about it, the more of a headache they got. After dinner, Red and Chloe walked their parents, and Chad, to the front gate.
"Well, I'm happy you two finally found your way to each other. And to meet my beautiful grandchildren." Bridget hugs them all tight. "Ow." "Can't breathe." "Mom!" "Bridget." She releases them as they all breathe easier. "Alright, i will see you during parent teacher conferences." Bridget slips a small bag into Red's pocket before she gets into her car and drives off. "Bye Ella!" She waves at her in passing. "Bye Bridget!" The Charmings all turn to them and hug them tight. "Be good, both of you." Ella tells them. "No promises." Red smirks. Chloe smacks her arm. "Red!" She scolds before smiling and holding her hand. "I'll try, how can i not be with this one over here?" Chloe smiles as Red kisses her knuckles. "Bye sis." Chad goes to hug her when she suddenly punches his stomach. "Ow! What was that for?" "For earlier, you ass." "Wow, you have gotten so much more violent ever since you started dating Red." "Thank you." Chloe smiles.
They watch as their parents leave. Red holds Chloe's hand as her other hand reaches into her pocket and pulls out the bag. "What is that?" Chloe smiles. "My mom must have slipped it into my pocket." She opens the bag and finds a deck of cards. "Are those....?" "Yup." Red nods. Red quickly puts them away. Don't want those falling into the wrong hands. They all walk back to their dorms, the twins go their separate ways from their mothers. "You think that's gonna come back to haunt us?" Cree asks his sister. "What? Meeting the family in this time? Like letting them know about us?" Cree nods. Crimson bites her lip. "I hope not." "Grandma Bridget gave mom a deck of cards." Cree unlocks their bedroom door. "How do you know?" "I saw them from afar. She slipped it in her pocket." Crimson nods. "Does she know how to use them?" Cree shrugs. "I don't know, i think?"
Red and Chloe finally make it back to their room. "My gods, i am tired." Chloe flops down on their conjoined beds. Red stares at her playing cards as she sits on the bed next to her. Chloe notices and sits up. "Can you use them?" She asks. Red nods. "She showed me a long time ago." Chloe smiles. "Can you show me something?" Red thinks for a second. What can she show her? Red smiles as she comes up with an idea. She shuffles the cards, her muscle memory comes back to her. Chloe watches in amazement, a smile slowly creeping onto her face. Red shuffles the cards, similar in a way that Bridget did in her room when they went back in time. She throws them up and watches as they explode into tiny pink glass hearts. Glassheart. Red thought. She smiles as she sees Chloe smile as she looks above her. "Wow, it's beautiful, Red." Red nervously pulls out the little purple velvet box that's been burning a hole in her pocket all day. "Yeah, you really are." Chloe giggles before looking at Red. "Gods, that was so chee-" she sees her holding the purple box. "What is that?" She carefully asks. "Chloe Charming, this is not an engagement ring." Red smiles. Chloe breathes a sigh of relief. "Well, not yet." Chloe squeaks. Red laughs. "This is a promise ring. A promise to always be there for one another. A promise to always love you. To never give up on you, on us. On each other. A promise to give you the fairy tale of your dreams. Not your parents, but our own. With our own little kids running around. As if they aren't already running around." Red jokes. Chloe laughs and sobs at the same time as tears stream down her face. "A promise to give you the happily ever after that you deserve." Red opens the box to reveal a beautiful ring.

"Chloe Charming, i love you. Will you accept this promise ring?" Red bites her lip. Chloe becomes tongue tied and teary eyed. All she can do is nod. "Yes?" Red smiles. Chloe laughs and nods again. "Yes, yes. A thousand times, yes." Red quickly slides the ring on her finger before pulling her in close. Chloe grabs Red's face as she kisses her deeply. How could she ever let this girl go? How did she ever lose her? She's such an idiot. What did she do to lead to her tragic end? Why? Emotions overcome Chloe as she starts sobbing. "It's ok, boo. I love you. I love you so much." Red leans her forehead against Chloe's. "And i love you, Red. Which is why there's something i need to tell you." She can't do it. She can't keep this from her anymore. "What is it?" "The real reason the twins are here...."
