Note: I know OUAT is not supposed to be taking place in 2016, but let's pretend it is for this story. This was intended as a one-shot but it got too long, so I made it into two parts and figured I'd stick it in the one shot collection. Hope you enjoy it! ~Steph

...Our Future is Now: Part 1/2...

Outside of Granny's, Emma stared down at the man she loved, her mouth wide with shock. Killian was on bended knee, his hand holding an open velvet box with a beautiful diamond ring.

"Emma, my life changed for the better the moment you walked into it. I can't imagine my life without you. You make me so happy. I want to spend everyday making you as happy as you make me. I love you so much. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Tears streamed down Emma's face, as she nodded enthusiastically. She opened her mouth to say yes, but just as she did, the earth beneath them trembled. A moment later, a portal opened up right below them. Killian and Emma fell through the portal. The ground closed up behind them as if nothing had happened.

Killian and Emma fell through the sky and landed on the ground with a thud. They were stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. Killian reached out to touch Emma's shoulder.

"Are you okay, love?" he asked.

"Yeah, fine. Are you?"

He nodded with a lopsided grin. "I've had worse landings."

Emma managed a weak smile, as they both slowly stood up and dusted themselves off. It was then that they noticed where they were. They were standing in the middle of Main Street in Storybrooke, not far from where they had been standing a few moments ago.

"What in bloody hell?"

"Did we just go through a portal and end up in the same place we just were?"

Killian shook his head. "Something is amiss. Perhaps it's the same place, but a different time."

"Like when we ended up in the past in the Enchanted Forest."

"Precisely."

Emma sighed as she glanced around at the shops. "Only one way to find out."

She walked to the sidewalk, Killian following closely behind. She continued a few feet, stopping at a newspaper dispenser. She tapped the glass, her eyes widening.

"Oh my God. Look at the date."

Killian bent forward and peered through the glass. "Bloody hell."

The date read: May 12, 2026. Ten years in the future.

They turned to each other and said in unison: "We've been sent to the future."

Emma shook her head in disbelief. "I don't understand. How did this happen? Why?"

"Well, love, someone must have opened a portal and sent us here for some reason."

"But ten years in the future? I didn't even think that was possible."
