Despite everything that occurred earlier that day with the Black Fairy, I rush back to the Swan residence with Emma, Katherine, Snow, Regina, and Zelena to help the bride-to-be get ready for her big day, which is happening in less than two hours. While they start on Emma's hair and make-up, Katherine and I sprint upstairs to change and grab my sister's dress, only to find the two she'd been indecisive about laying on the bed. My eyes scan over the gowns in front of me, noting the pros and cons of each one that my sister listed, before I look over at the unsure look on Katherine's face.

My gaze turns back to the dresses before a crazy idea pops into my head, one I hope I won't regret later. A small breath passes over my lips as I wave my glowing golden hand over the gowns in front of us. Not a moment passes when they begin to match my shining hand before they combine into one, creating a single dress that contained all the pros that Emma listed. After exchanging a grin with my redheaded friend, the two of us quickly change into our dresses before grabbing the bridal gown and making our way back downstairs.

Once we make it back to where everyone else is, we find Emma fully ready for the event as she paces back and forth in front of the other three women. My eyes follow the Savior for a moment before Katherine and I take a step forward to make ourselves known then show Emma her newly made wedding dress. The bride-to-be stops in her tracks as she stares at the gown before a huge grin spreads across her face.

"How did you do this?" my sister asks as she runs her fingers down the lacy fabric.

"I've had my magic for a few years now, Emma. I think I can manage to fix a dress with it," I laugh before placing the white material in her hands, "now, go get changed. We have a wedding to get to."

Henry, Sam, and I stand behind a curtain on the roof where the wedding will take place as we wait for the music to start. A small smile forms on my face as I watch my nephew shift uncomfortably with the box containing the rings in his hands. Just as I place a hand on his shoulder to comfort the boy, the music signally the start of our entrance starts to play. A small sigh passes over my lips as I interlock my arms with Henry and Sam before the three of us walk out from behind the curtain and towards a grinning Killian. Everyone watches as the three of us continue down the aisle in sync before we come to a stop in front of the captain of the Jolly Roger.

After taking his arm away from mine, Henry approaches Killian then hands the rings over to the blue-eyed man. The smile on the pirate's face does nothing but grow as he places a hand on the boy's shoulder before the latter goes to sit next to Regina as Sam goes to stand in front of the raven-haired man. My eyes stay glued on the two of them as they have an inaudible conversation then Killian pulls the blonde boy in for a hug. Once they end their moment, the former Saved Boys goes to sit next to Katherine before I step up to stand before the man who was the first to show me that I meant something in this world. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, I pull him in for a tight hug, taking him off guard for a moment before I feel his arms wrap around me.

"I'm so happy for you," I whisper into his ear as my grip around him tightened, "you deserve this."

"I wouldn't be able to do this without you by my side, Evie," he responds before we pull apart from each other and share one last smile.

After giving his hand one last squeeze, I make my way over to where everyone else is sitting and take my place between Sam and Felix. As soon as I'm settled in my seat, the music quickly changes before everyone gets to their feet and turns their attention to Emma as she appears through the parted curtains with my parents at her sides. The crowd watches with smiles on their faces as the three walk down the aisle and towards the grinning groom waiting at the end. They come to a stop just in front of where Killian stands before David turns and pulls the veil over Emma's head. The two share a smile before Prince Charming places a gentle kiss on his daughter's cheek. Once the two finish their moment, Emma turns to Snow, who copies David's actions then whispers something to her daughter before the Savior steps up to stand in front of Killian while David and Snow take their places with the rest of the crowd.

"Are you ready to recite the vows?" Archie asks the soon-to-be-married couple before Killian glances at the crowd behind them then turns his attention back to Emma.

"Emma...when we met, there were just two things that mattered to me; getting Everly back from that twisted boy and my revenge. And you did something that few ever could. You showed me that a heart full of love was the most precious treasure of all...and one that I don't intend to lose. They say that a captain's heart belongs to his ship," the pirate captain hesitates for a moment as he stares at his future wife before carefully take a ring from the box in Archie's hands, "but with this ring, it now belongs to you."

"Killian...I spent so much of my life on my own. And then, Henry found me and brought me to Storybrooke and helped me find the rest of my family. But just because you learn that you come from true love...doesn't mean that you believe that you'll ever find it. But thanks to you, now I have," the Savior shares a smile with her future husband before taking the remaining ring from Archie and sliding it onto Killian's finger then takes his hand into hers once again.

"Do you, Killian Jones, take this woman to be your wife...and to love her for all eternity?" the redheaded man recites with a smile on his face.

"I do."

"And do you, Emma Swan, take this man to be your husband...and love him for all eternity?"

"I do."

"Then, it is with great pleasure...that I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Applause fills the air as the pirate and the Savior share their first kiss as a married couple.

Later that evening, everyone circles around the married couple as they share their first dance. As I watch them twirl around without a care in the world, my hand finds Felix's before our fingers intertwine and I lean into his side. The two of us continue to watch the couple as I feel his hand leave mine before he wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"How does it feel having the man you saw as a father figure for most of your like marrying your technically younger sister?" a smirking Sam questions as he stands with Katherine similar to how I stand with the former Lost Boy.

"Can you please stop bringing that up?" I retaliate, earning laughs from him and Katherine as well as Austin, who is standing at Sam's other side with Roland right in front of him.

Before our bickering can continue, the crowd begins to join the couple before everyone surrounding us dances around the rooftop and celebrates the marriage between Emma Swan and Killian Jones. After sending Sam one last playful glare, he takes Katherine to join everyone before Roland forces Austin into the crowd. My eyes stay on them for a moment before I feel a hand in mine once again then look up to see Felix smiling down at me. The next thing I know, he drags me out onto the dancefloor before placing his hands on my waist as I wrap mine around his neck. The two of us move to the music as we stare into each other's eyes with huge smiles on our faces.

"Just like back at the ball in the Enchanted Forest, huh?" he says, causing the smile on my face to grow as I place my head on his chest.

"Exactly like that," I whisper before feeling a gentle kiss placed on the top of my head.

Just as he opens his mouth to continue our conversation, the eerie sound of chiming fills the air around us, causing everyone surrounding us to freeze. My heart stops as I pull my head off of the former Lost Boys chest to look into his nervous gray eyes before the two of us follow the crowd's actions and look at the clock tower to find it exactly six. While my eyes stay glued to the clock's face, my hand interlocks with Felix's once again just as the glass breaks and an inky black fog streams into the sky.

Everyone's eyes stay locked onto the smoke as Leroy's scream about the curse breaks through the silence. My grip on the blonde boy's hand tightens then feel someone clutching my other hand, drawing my attention away from the upcoming doom to see Roland grasping my hand with panic on his face. After pulling the boy closer to my side, I glance over to Sam, Katherine, and Austin to see them staring back at me with panic in their eyes before we all turn our attention back to the slithering fog.

"Where do you think it's taking us?" Felix questions.

"I'm not sure," I respond as I step closer to him, "but I'm gonna be really irritated if I'm left behind or forget everyone again."

Silence fills the air once again as the fog finally reaches us, surrounding everyone in darkness and taking us to an unknown destination.
