It’s been a long long time… / OUAT season 2

Pairings: Michelle x Rochelle, Bella x Alice

Bromance: Nikolai & Jeremy

Extra characters: Petra, Liane and Joshua

Continuing this fic (the second half of episode 2)

——

“I can explain!”

“Michelle?”

“Nicholas?”

The brunette and the blonde frozen in sight of seeing in each other. For Nikolai it felt like years, meanwhile Michelle had been alone in this world for what seemed to be weeks for her. Within a second later, the two of them pulled each other into a hug. Jeremy lowered his sword and grinned slowly leading the others inside the safe house.

Alice was watching Bella as she half smile entering the room. Joshua was holding Liane up as the women rolled her eyes, noticing her daughter was secretly crushing on the girl. To say Joshua was a little flabbergasted was an insult to his expression. He read the books, remembering the words of his father’s small home but never expected for it, to be like this.

Then again there was someone living here now, someone named Michelle. He lowered Liane on the chair near the entrance, as she thanked him for helping. Petra sat on the other side of the room finding comfort in the warmth and smells coming from the kitchen.

Nikolai pulled away from the hug and asked, “Michelle, darling, how are—I thought you were washed away by the curse?”

“No, no I wasn’t. The curse isn’t didn’t hit every single part of the land.” Michelle said, taking another bite of bread.

“But how?”

“Well..long story short, when the curse hit I was helping other folks cover for shelter and promising our friends I would be at the castle in time..and then..”

“..then you weren’t. I am so sorry you were left behind.”

“It’s alright, I had faith the curse would be lifted and I can return home sooner than later. And I was right! Where’s my wife and kids?”

Nikolai winces at the question and responds, “Well that’s the thing, they aren’t here. But don’t worry they’re safe at the other realm with our friends. Now I’m making it a priority to all get home. You included!”

Michelle’s facial expressions changes in milliseconds from sad to wishful as she heard that last sentence of his statement. Of course she was coming along to see her family again, she looked over her shoulder to see the others. Liane looked way different just tired, Jeremy was still grinning like the cheeky pirate he is and she recognized Princess Petra.

However the other 3 were not in her eyesight. She had no idea who they were.

Bella was too busy making eyes contact with Alice to notice Michelle was looking at them, Joshua had to gently elbow the Latina to get her attention. Bella grunted and glared at her friend meanwhile Alice held back a small chuckle. It was the first time the brunette has seen his friend so—well so damn distracted!

He rolled his eyes and smiled decided to introduce himself to the tall blonde as he spoke, “Hi. I’m Joshua. And the two girls being eyes at another another are Bella and Alice.”

Michelle shook his hand and chuckled, “It’s alright, let them have their fun. Wait..did you say, Joshua?”

“Uh, yeah?”

“Holy—Oh my god! You’re my nephew!”

“You’re what now?”

That got a giggle from Liane as Nikolai softly chuckled, hearing Michelle’s reaction to finally meeting her nephew. Michelle went a mini ramble on how she planned on being the first one to hold him when he was born, play games together, take him horseback riding and use a freaking sword. Hell her rambles were so sweet, it made Joshua finally crack a smile this whole trip.

It was then Joshua remembered the research about Cinderella, how Michelle and Rochelle became head over heels in love, as their wedding was celebrated across the land for a damn long week. With Michelle being the loud speaker of the pair and Rochelle being a bit more quiet about things. He could see where the twins got their perspectives from.

Liane yawned and spoke up after a moment, “Uh, Michelle, can we stay here for a little while..or do we have to sign up for an all star break?”

Michelle smiled, “Well it’s Nik’s home and seeing how you guys are here, I don’t see why not! And you’re in luck, I got food to last us a couple of weeks.”

“We don’t need weeks. Just a couple of days and to plan a way out of here without the Orges attacking us.”

“And you need a nap.”

“Hey!”

Bella turned around and faced her mother, “Yeah mom, you do.”

“Oh now you want to talk!” Liane remarked, huffing and noticed Petra took pride in her distress, “What you looking up, Princess?”

“You’re bags under your eyes.” Petra replied half grinned.

The blonde crossed her arms and huffed once again, “I hate all of you.”

Joshua sighed and offered his hand, taking Liane to one of the bedroom. He asked his father which one was suitable for her, as Nikolai pointed to the one in the behind the stairs. He nodded, leading Liane to the back room and helped her crawl into bed, opening the window to bring in some fresh air as the blonde rested her head on the pillow.

Liane wondered why he was being so nice to him but decided to leave that question to ponder herself, requesting for Joshua to stay close by for she can fall asleep. She lied a bit saying she didn’t sleep well in new places, but she was just scared to fall asleep period, thankfully the teenager nodded silently. Joshua sat down in the chair beside the bed crossing his arms and looked around the room, as his gaze fell every so often on the blonde who closed her eyes.

He looked around in awe of the safe house and all his little quirks from the flooring to the walls with framed pictures. He noticed a few drawings and some figurines on tables nearby as well.

“Wow..” He muttered to himself, wondering how his parents lived their days together in this place. God he had so many questions but was shy to ask them.

———

Outside of the bedroom, the group were discussing living plans. There wasn’t much room, so some of them might have to bunk together. Jeremy and Petra didn’t mind the couch, Nikolai assumed he would retake his bedroom unless Michelle wanted it and Joshua or Bella might take the mattress upstairs.

Alice and Bella soon realized they might have to share a room together which led to awkward silence and tiny hints of blushing being seen. Michelle snorted seeing that, remembering her and Rochelle were the same way. She took those moments help Nikolai and Jeremy serve lunch, which basically meant bread and cheese with fresh water.

The trio missed their chats, hell they miss their adventures.

Michelle took that moment to ask, “So how is everyone back uh, home?”

Jeremy sipped water and responded, “Well my husband lied for starters, as he broke the spell bringing magic and had us running around like idiots afterwards..”

“Besides that dummy! I mean how are our people?”

“Ohh! Well King Alexander is out of commission, so great for us and bad for him. Rochelle and Cass are fine, missing you. Uhh, I think I saw some couples making out on the streets after the curse broke.”

“Damn I missed that! How our my babies? Last I saw them they were 4 years old.”

“Well, time was frozen more or less for everyone, but the kids grow up at a slow rate, so that means your twins are 7 years old now.”

“7?! That means are in school now?! Who’s teaching those ankle bitters?”

“Don’t worry, Charles is their teacher and Erik is one of the officers there, so they don’t get into much trouble. More or less.”

“More or less?! My babies are insane, I should know I’m a little nuts.”

Nikolai walked in after checking on the girls and hissed, “Shh! I forgot how loud you are. I see Jeremy is catching you up on things. I am surprised he hasn’t shown you the cell phones yet.”

“What’s a cell phone?” Michelle questioned, raising an eyebrow at the item he mentioned.

“I’ll explain to you later.”

“What other things are in that realm?”

“Well you have movies you can watch on Netflix.”

“What’s Netflix? Is it some sort of note taker?”

“Oh geez Michelle…you are gonna experience a lot of new things.”

“Speaking of new things, since when does Mal have a kid?”

Alice yelled softly from her chair, “That’s what I said!”

“Al hush!” Petra shouted, sitting next to her.

Michelle muttered, “But she’s white..”

Jeremy almost crooked on his blueberry at Michelle’s comment.

“You know that’s my mom you’re talking about, right?” Bella remarked eating her sandwich.

“Did Liane remarry?!” Michelle exclaimed with a gasp, “Did Ethan cheat? I swear I’mma murder him if he-”

“No, I’m adopted! And no, dad was under the curse somewhat, my biological mother is god knows where.”

“Whew! And here I thought I was gonna have to kill your daddy.”

“Go ahead, he’s not the smartest man. But I love him.”

Michelle and Bella shared a humorous moment together, chuckling. Joshua soon joined the others, Liane was asleep, as he sat down next to Jeremy stealing a blueberry from his plate. He heard the others throwing comments about the current state of their crew and he chuckled hearing Bella’s latest statement.

Joshua then had to ask, “Michelle..uh, how did you know that the cabin would be empty and safe to stay in?”

“Well, honestly I figured it would be better than staying in a hostel cave for weeks. I used to visit this area for shelter when I was single, me and the guys would come over here and just hang out.” Michelle explained smiling.

“What about the creatures outside?”

“Easy.” She added grinning, “I slayed their asses.”

“Cool!” Joshua says sounded very impressed.

“How about you kid? Slay any beasts yet?”

“No, but I have met a few.”

“Don’t worry, one week with me and you will know how to flip your sword over and throw it into a dragon’s chest.”

“Okay, you’re officially the cool one.”

Jeremy’s eyes widen, “The fu-?”

Nikolai patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t sweat it, man.”

“Wait if she is Liane’s kid?” Said Alice had a clueless expression on her face pointing to Bella and then pointed to Joshua, “Then who’s he?”

“His.” Joshua replied pointing to Nikolai with a small awkward half smile.

“How?! You guys ALL look young?! Did you guys find the fountain of youth or something?”

“..yup, she really is Alice from Alice in Wonderland..”

“And other places! I swear, take a one way trip and that’s all anyone ever knows about you.”

Bella smiled softly to herself finding her kinda cute, as it earned a small humorous eye roll from Joshua. It’s crazy, they land in the Enchanted Forest for the first time and the first thing Bella does it find herself an instant tiny crush on a blonde from Wonderland. Honestly, Joshua was happy for her and definitely was gonna tease her later for it.

Meanwhile the adults decide to take the lead in planning a new plan in order to avoid being caught here any longer. Petra suggested a magic bean, Nikolai mentioned the original wardrobes from years back could be another option, meanwhile Michelle planned on the best route to get there. Either the dust from the warehouses or the magic bean.

Jeremy pointed out that both options were good but needed a possible alternative route to leave, such as another portal.

He figured they can probably find his pirate ship and use whatever option from their plan to sail out of there, then appear in the shipping docks of Fighter-Town. He was just hoping that his ships would be ready to operate and not washed away during a storm.

Fingers crossed things went smoothly.
