Once Upon a Time...
Amy Jones never thought she'd be back home. Seattle, Hyperion Heights. A cozy neighborhood, in the middle of the chaotic hell of rain, the grayest state in USA.
But even that small piece of green and heartfelt community spirit was fading away.
Amy hadn't been there in a while, but she recognized how her neighborhood's soul was dying out, as the last pieces of green faded away: first the community garden, then the little farm on the edge of "town", it was all turning into small apartments as well as big. There were signs all over Hyperion Heights, in big letters, they screamed "Belfrey Enterprises".
Now, that Amy knew Ivy was Drizella, she connected the dots, only to find out it was Lady Tremaine who was behind the business industry, buying up everything and turning that once small community into a living hell of traffic, condos, night bars...People started spreading, just as she did. Soon, everyone of them would be scattered, never to be able to find each other.
That was a smart idea. Because, back in Regina's curse, it was easily broken because everyone was in Storybrooke when Emma and Henry's true love engulfed the town in a pulse of light magic. Now, if the curse was broken, the magic, no matter how strong, wouldn't be able to reach everyone.
That led Amy to believe that perhaps Victoria Belfrey was the one pulling the strings and creating chaos in fairytale lives...that she was the one to cast the curse.
Alas, the savior didn't come that far to break the curse. At least, not just yet. She had more important matters, like for example, stopping the cops from going after her newest daughter in law and her soon to be grandchild and finding out how to help Henry deal with his double life: the one shared with Ivy and the other with Cinderella.
With that in mind, she drove her yellow bug, which seemed to be the best method of transportation in any realm, time or curse, and stopped in front of a big neon sign screaming "Roni's" outside what appeared to be a night bar with lack of taste.
That was the place she and Rogers chose to meet, after all those years separated.
It was hard to see the one handed detective after so many years of break up, especially now, that Amy knew how much he really meant to her. The life they shared in another realm. The story of the lost girl who found herself in the arms of Captain Hook...or did she lost herself even more?
Amy cleaned her tears, cleared her throat. She had a mission and hoped for Rogers to have what little love could escape the breaking of their marriage, in order to help Ivy.
The blonde stood out of her car and entered "Roni's", not sure what she'd face once inside.
"Excuse me, is this Roni's?" The savior asked, wrinkling her eyebrows, as she gazed upon a woman in raven curls, shaking a cocktail bottle so hard it might had even exploded.
Amy could only see her back, and hair shaking like springs, a heavy sigh catching the entire atmosphere as the bartender rudely prepared the cocktail, like if it were some kind of magic potion. That sure hell was not the right way to make a drink! The savior knew that in this life, after all, she was one hell of a bartender back in Cali!
"I sure hope so..." The inked hair woman replied, a bit obnoxious, but as she turned around, a deep breath of fresh air entered her lungs, as if it were the first time she took it in a hundred years. The all room lighted up, her eyes grew twice the size, as a jovial smirk caught up the brightness in her face.
"I'm Roni." The raven haired bartender replied, and Amy lost it, as her jaw fell on the floor, just as Emma's always did every time she was astounded by something. Yet, nothing compared to what she just saw! "What can I getcha?" The bartender asked, in a cool earthy relaxed tone.
