Pilot Part 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 The Enchanted Forest)

Prince Charming rides on his horse at lightning speed to find his lover, Snow White. He raced through the forest as snow began to fall. By the time he reached Snow White in her glass coffin, it was too late. Her mind and body are forever trapped in a death-like sleep. The seven dwarves all gathered at her coffin, sad and miserable. Charming stared at Snow's pale face, her blood-red lips, and her closed eyes.

Charming didn't want to believe that Snow was gone, he ordered the dwarves to open the coffin so he could at least say goodbye. They opened the coffin for Charming. He kneeled to Snow White then he kissed her. Light magic was spread out across the land, chasing away the darkness, and broke the spell.

Snow White awakened from her slumber, gasping for a breath of air. Charming smiled as Snow stared at him "You found me." Snow White spoke. Charming helped her out of the coffin, they stared into each other's eyes. Charming promised her that he would always find her and that promise would never break.

They arrived at the castle where they were getting married. Everyone in the kingdom was present for this special day. Once they said their vows, the preacher made them husband and wife. The whole kingdom cheered, clapped, and smiled at the new king and queen, even Grumpy was happy for them. And they would live happily ever after, or so they thought.

Just as they were about to kiss, the doors opened, and people gasped in fear as they turned to see Regina, the Evil Queen. She wears a dark smile on her face as she storms towards Snow and Charming. She used magic to push away the palace guards, people were now terrified. Snow didn't want her stepmother to ruin her happiness anymore, so she took Charming's sword and pointed it at Regina. "She's not a queen anymore," Snow stated as people whispered. "She's nothing more than an evil witch!"

"You're wasting your time, you've already lost. I will not let you ruin this wedding." Charming claimed.

But the Evil Queen didn't come to ruin the wedding but to give them a gift. Snow told Regina that they wanted nothing from her but she already forced them to have it. Regina spoke her plan, "My gift to you, is this happy, happy day. For tomorrow my real work begins. You've made your vows, now I make mine. Soon, everything you love, everything you all love, will be taken from you forever. And out of your suffering will rise my victory. I shall destroy your happiness if it's the last thing I do."

She walked away from Snow and Charming, knowing that her plan would succeed. Charming refused to let her win, he called out to her and threw his sword straight at her. But the Evil Queen disappeared in a puff of smoke without getting hit with the sword. Charming held Snow tight, hoping that the Queen won't win.

(In New York)
