Ariel had collected the presents for those in Arendelle and DunBroch. They now all resided in a waterproof bag that Emma had made bigger on the inside using magic. She was about to leave when she heard footsteps. She turned and saw Belle running towards her.

"Wait!"

Belle stopped next to Ariel and opened the book she was carrying. She pointed to the title on the page she had opened to;

Mermaid Scale Potion

"It allows you to travel from one realm to another," Belle explained. "So what if, instead of transporting presents back and forth, you brought Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Mulan, Ruby, and Merida's brothers and Mom to Storybrooke?"

Ariel smiled. "I think that's a wonderful idea. How long does it take to make?"

"Less than an hour, if you have all of the ingredients. Which I do. Well, Rumple does. But it shouldn't take long to make at all."

"Then let's get started."

A guard entered the palace to inform Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff that someone who called herself Ariel wanted to see them.

"She's here!" Anna exclaimed. Anna ran through the palace to get outside so she could greet Ariel. The guard looked at Elsa.

"It's fine," she assured him.

Elsa and Kristoff arrived outside after Anna. Ariel's hair was wet, which meant she had just recently arrived in Arendelle.

"Hi!" She greeted Elsa and Kristoff with enthusiasm, though not as much as what seemed to be bottled up in Anna at any given time.

"Hi."

"Hello."

Ariel pulled a vial out of her pocket. "Belle found me right before I was about to leave and told me about a potion she had found. One that can transport you to another realm. So, would you three like to come with me to Storybrooke? Of course, we'll have to make a stop in DunBroch first."

"Yes!" Anna was first to answer. "Yes! Oh, Elsa, can we go?!"

Elsa nodded. "Of course we can go."

Kristoff was a little more hesitant to agree. "Last time we were in Storybrooke, your aunt cast the Shattered Sight Curse..."

"That was last time," Anna said. "This time will be much better! You could stay here, or you could come to Storybrooke with your beautiful wife and sister-in-law."

"...Okay, I'll go."

Ruby and Mulan explained Storybrooke and how Ariel was coming to deliver Christmas presents to Queen Elinor and Merida's brothers. They also explained how there was a portal to the Underworld open, so King Fergus was temporarily back from the dead.

When Ariel arrived, Ruby and Mulan were at the palace with Merida's family. She came, not bearing gifts, but instead with three friends.

"Ariel!" Ruby exclaimed, running towards her. "And you three must be Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff?"

Anna nodded. "That's us."

Ariel explained the potion Belle had helped her make and how they could spend Christmas in Storybrooke. Ruby was all for the idea and Mulan agreed fairly quickly too. Queen Elinor had to be convinced it would be safe before she allowed herself and her three sons to go.

It wasn't long before the group arrived in Storybrooke. Queen Elinor and Merida's brothers looked around, awestruck by Storybrooke and how different it was from DunBroch. Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff headed for Emma's house after Ariel gave them directions. Ruby led Mulan off to Granny's. And Ariel led Merida's family to the merry men's camp, where Merida and King Fergus had been staying.

Emma's doorbell rang. Liam and Killian were deep in a conversation - Liam had been spending most of his time at Emma's house, since he wanted to spend time with his younger brother - so Emma stood up and answered the door. She assumed it would be Henry or Regina or maybe even her parents. She did not expect to see Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff standing there.

"I thought Ariel was just supposed to deliver presents?"

"Well she was, but then Belle found a recipe for some potion that can transport you between realms, so she brought us here," Anna explained.

"This is great!" Emma smiled. She hugged Elsa, then Anna and Kristoff. "Why don't you three come in? Killian and Liam are here, but they shouldn't give you any trouble. Well, unless your name is Elsa and Killian feels like shipping FrozenJewel..." Elsa rolled her eyes, but followed Emma into her house. Anna and Kristoff did the same.

Ruby could have walked back to Granny's with her eyes closed, if she had wanted a slight challenge. But since Mulan was with her, she decided to skip the closed eyes bit. Ruby opened the door. Several people were there eating, and Granny was behind the counter. It just so happened that Prince Phillip and Aurora were having lunch at Granny's.

Mulan ran over to reunite with them while Ruby rushed over to Granny. Mulan decided to stay and talk with Aurora while Ruby headed for the Charmings' apartment so she could see Snow again.

Merida and King Fergus were teaching the merry men all they knew about shooting a bow when footsteps interrupted them. Everyone instantly got silent until Ariel walked into the clearing. Merida jumped up to greet their guest, until she saw that Ariel had brought her family. There stood Queen Elinor and Merida's three brothers.

As Merida ran towards her family, she decided that maybe Christmas miracles really did happen. Especially when your life was a fairytale.
