So I was alive again which was a bonus, but once again I was in an unknown land with no Killian. I sighed and brushed myself down before walking out the the meadow. But this time, instead of not meeting anyone, I walked strait into a man. He looked a little erratic, wild hair and patchy clothing. His arms were full of cloth and when I walked into him they fell to the floor. "Oh, I am so sorry" I said and bent down to pick up his things.

"It's alright, no harm done, its only fabric" he said and bent down to help me pick the things up.

"Sorry, this may sound strange, but where am I?" I asked the man handing him his things and standing up.

"Why your in Wonderland of course" he said adding under his breath "The most miserable place ever" he said and I sighed. Rumpelstiltskin had been right then, of course he was.

"Of course" I muttered as if I knew where Wonderland was. "And is there a beach near here?" I asked and the man shook his head.

"Not that I know of" he said "Sorry I have to go, I'm making hats" he said and began to walk off. I stayed where I was for a moment but then called after him.

"Excuse me!" I said and he turned to face me. "Sorry to be a bother, but would you mind awfully if I came with you. You see, I'm very lost" I explained and he thought about it for a moment. Eventually he nodded and I grinned running to catch up with him then the pair of us walked through a forest in whatever direction he was heading in. "Here, let me take some of that" I said and took some of the fabrics from the man's hand before he had a chance to protest. He smiled at me and it looked like it had been the first time he had smiled in a while.

"Thank you, its been a long time since anyone had shown me such kindness" he said and I frowned.

"I don't see why not you seem like a nice man" I said with a shrug.

"The name's Jefferson but most call me the Mad Hatter" he said and I frowned.

"Adaline" I said introducing myself before continuing the conversation "Why do they call you the Mad Hatter?" I asked and he shook his head sadly.

"Some times I forget myself" he said "But a long time ago I lost my daughter, she was taken from me and the only way to reach her again is to make a portal hat. But none of them seem to work" he said.

"Oh... I'm so sorry" I said "It appears that we are both trying to find someone" I said.

"Why? Who are you looking for?" he asked and I shrugged.

"It's a long story. But the short of it is that me and my love, Killian, have been parted by no fault of our own" I explained and he nodded. Jefferson looked the the kind of man who would understand.

"I lost my wife a long time ago, Grace is all I have left" he said and I smile.

"Well then, I'll help you find her" I promised.

"And I'll help you find your Killian" he said and I nodded.

"It's a deal."

Henry, although delighted that everyone had regained their memories still looked a little puzzled, just as Emma did. "Henry... What's going on here? If the curse is broken, why didn't they go back?" she asked and Henry shrugged. I noticed that Mary Margaret had left the room so it was only: Henry, Emma, me, Doctor Whale and Mother Superior left.

" I... I don't know" he replied. They both looked at me and shrugged

"How am I supposed to know?" I asked and they nodded agreeing with me. Suddenly the sound a tray crashing to the floor filled our ears and we all turned to look at a nurse who was staring out of the window a look of horror on her face. Emma ran to the window and Henry jumped out of bed to copy. I peered through another window and gasped when I saw the same thing that everyone else did. A large, purple haze was rushing at great speeds towards us and it showed no sign of stopping.

"What is that?" Emma asked.

"Something bad" Henry told us and a shiver ran down my spine.

"Henry, what do we do?" I asked trying to work out what to do and failing.

"I don't know" he said shaking his head and we watched as the haze drew closer and closer. Then just as quickly as it had come, pushing itself up against the glass of the window, it vanished.

"What the..." I began but Emma glared at me for a moment and I held my tongue, bad language around Henry's wild imagination would be a bad idea.

"Come on, lets go and find out what all this is about" Emma said and handed Henry his jacket and the three of us ran out of the hospital.

We were running down the main street when Henry cried out "There!" he shouted and pointed at a gathering a little further down the street. We ran over just in time to catch the end of the conversation.

"Now? Now I find my daughter" Mary Margaret said and Emma stepped forwards, Henry staying at my side.

"So it's true" she said and I looked down at Henry for an explanation.

"Parents" he whispered and my eyes widened. This was going to get weird. Emma was the same age as her parents. I turned my attention back to Mary Margaret who had cupped Emma's face in her hands and looked like she was going to cry. Suddenly she pulled Emma into a hug and Emma froze not completely sure of what to do.

"You found us" Mary Margaret whispered. David, who I remembered from Henry's stories to be prince Charming (making Mary Margaret Snow White), joined them embrace.

"Go on" I whispered to Henry and he nodded walking forwards a little.

"Grandpa?" he asked and David pulled put of the hug to smile down at Henry.

"Yeah, Kid. I guess so" he said and they hugged as well. It was nice everyone was back together with the people that they loved, but not everyone was. I hadn't seen my best friend Jefferson, and according to Henry Killian was still looking for me and had no idea about Storybrooke. I would just have to wait, something which I had gotten to be quite good at.
