I know there’s not much love for the Once Musical episode in this corner of the fandom but I keep humming the final song to myself. It really links with what Belle said to Rumple. “A fresh start. A happy ending.” “No a happy beginning.”

Tomorrow is uncertain, who knows what it will bring?
But one thing is for sure love, with you I have everything
And happily ever after, is the way these stories go

Used to think that’s what I wanted but now I finally know
….

Leave the past and all it’s scars
A happy beginning now is ours

A happy beginning now is ours
