Lillian stood beside Emma as she looked at two dresses for the wedding. Rumple had defeated his mother and Gideon had his heart back, so the wedding could go on. Lillian herself was standing in a dress that Killian had picked for her as the maid of honor.
''Did you decide which one?''
''Not yet. I have narrowed it down to two, but neither one feels exactly right.''
''Well, Emma, I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure that the curse even brought it over from the Enchanted Forest, but I had Belle scour the back of Gold's shop, and she found it.'' When Emma lifted her eyebrow at her mother, Snow perked up. ''My wedding dress! Do you want to wear it?''
''Of course. Where is it?''
''Well, I dropped it off at the dry cleaner, and it should be back in plenty of time for the wedding tonight.''
''Oh, Mom, that's... Thank you!'' Emma hugged her mother closely as Lillian watched the mother-daughter duo.
''With all we've been through lately, I just never thought we'd get a moment like this.''
--------Once upon a time--------
Lilith sat on her bed in the castle of Snow white and prince Charming. She had moved in with them for the time being as she protected Snow considering she was pregnant with her first child at the moment. And that way Lilith could stay closer to her mentor who was living in the cell in the basement.
She pressed her hands hard against her ears when she could hear Snow and Charming singing a few rooms up ahead. She groaned as she pushed the pillow over her head, not being able to tune out the sound.
She sighed as she pushed herself out of her bed, getting ready for the day that she would most likely never forget.
--------Once upon a time--------
''It's here!'' Snow said with a song like voice, Emma putting down the glass that Zelena had passed her just a few moments ago.
''Oh, wow. Mom! It's beautiful.'' Regina, Zelena and Lillian stood at the side as they watched Emma with aw as she held the dress in front of her, but that changed when the dress turned into a dark, black color. ''Mom?''
Lillian turned her head within a second when she could feel magic entering the room, quickly joining Emma and Snow as she pushed them back slightly.
''I never was a fan of white weddings.'' Fiona spoke, Lillian's lips parted in shock for a moment, her head looking in between Regina and the others before turning back to the Black Fairy.
''How are you still here?''
''Did you really think you could turn my own son against me? Even you're not that powerful sweetheart.'' She put her hand over Lillian's cheek, only for it to be slapped away within a second.
''What the hell are you doing here? Why are you crashing my daughter's wedding day?'' Snow stepped forward for a moment, but she was pushed back by Lily, snow frowned for a moment, but when she saw Lillian's blood red eyes, she understood not to provoke the teenager.
''Because Emma and I are destined to fight. Light and dark must have their reckoning. Unless, of course...''
''What?'' Emma snapped at her, getting fed up with the fairy.
''Unless you give me your heart now and save us both the trouble of fighting the Final Battle.''
''You really think I'll just surrender to you?''
''I know you think you're strong, Emma. But I've spent centuries collecting orphans just like you. And we both know deep down, you're still the lonely little girl you always were.''
''I hate to break it to you, but I've grown up.''
''Have you? Go to the clock tower. Then you'll know what your up against. -- The Final Battle is coming, whether you want it or not.''
The five people entered the clock tower, staring up to the ceiling where a big bowl of black dust was collecting.
''Is that all...''
''Black Fairy dust. Enough to curse Storybrooke ten times over.''
''So, that's how the Black Fairy plans to win the Final Battle ... By separating us with a curse.'' Lillian moved her hand over to dust, her hand glowing gold as she did so, her eyes set in concentration as her lips were pursed together.
''It's tied to the clock tower. The moment it strikes six, it'll be released.''
''That's when Hook and I are getting married.''
''Well, you have to admit, she's got a flair for the dramatic.'' Zelena stated, her eyes darting between Lillian and Regina. Lillian dropped her hand as it landed on her white dress, turning her head to Emma who spoke up.
''That's it. The Black Fairy's going down right now.''
''Wow, not so fast.'' Lillian had grabbed her wrist within a second, not allowing the blonde to go into a battle unprepared.
''Emma, I know that you feel responsible, but this is not just your fight.'' Snow spoke to her daughter, only to be shut down again.
''She seemed to think it was.''
''Yeah, well the last time I checked, she doesn't get a vote.'' Regina spoke up, her eyes darting back to the black dust above them. ''Zelena and I will figure out a way to disable this thing. I ruined your parents' wedding. The least I can do make sure you get to enjoy yours.''
--------Once upon a time--------
Lilith sat besides her window as she looked outside, her mind drifting back to Peter who was still on Neverland without her. She closed her eyes before opening them again, her eyes now fully red.
She really hated it to sing, but because of that stupid wish of Snow white she was unable to normally talk. She sighed, but before she could speak up, Peter appeared in her room.
Her hand was plastered against Peter's as she leaned her head against his chest, resulting into her falling onto the floor with a loud thud as he disappeared back to Neverland. Leaving the teenager alone and crying on the floor.
--------Once upon a time--------
Lily had gotten herself out of the white dress she was to wear at her cousin's wedding. She was again dressed in her casual clothing as she ran across the street to find Peter and the twins. She arrived at her home, smiling when she saw Peter and the twins all unharmed. She fell into Peter's arms as she smiled brightly at him.
''Wow, not that I am complaining Tiger ... but what's going on?'' She panted as she looked at her husband, trying to get herself to speak to him. He intertwined his fingers with her, calming her down as he looked at her. ''What's wrong?''
''Fiona ... Rumple didn't banish her. She's preparing for another curse. The entire clock tower is filled with Black Fairy dust.'' The twins had now caught the commotion in the living room and had walked down the stairs.
''So ... we're going to be torn apart?'' The two parents turned to the children who looked at their parents with great fear.
''Oh come here.'' Luna and Liam both rushed to their parents, holding them closely.
Peter, Lillian and the twins were walking outside as they tried to find a solution for the curse, they hadn't heard from Regina and Zelena in a while so they decided to go and look for them. What they hadn't expected was to find Rumple who froze them.
They, alongside the charming family -except for Henry- in the office of Regina. Lillian could feel herself trying to fight the magic that was binding her in her position, anything to make sure she was able to get out. She was able to move her eyes, darting between her family before Emma came in again.
As Emma began to sing out a song that was placed inside of her, Lillian could feel herself starting to break free, a smirk tugging onto her lips before all of them unfroze because of Emma's magic, Henry pushing in Emma's heart.
''You should've done this the easy way. 'Cause my curse is still coming. And the Final Battle is going to be worse than you could possibly imagine.'' The entire room looked at Fiona as she disappeared, Snow and Charming rushing to their daughter.
''Emma. Emma. How did you do it?''
''It was the song you gave me.''
''What do you mean? What song?''
''It doesn't matter. It's not important. What matters is you were with me. You were with me my whole life!'' Lillian and Peter smiled at each other as they pulled one another into a one-armed hug, smiling at the soon to be married couple of Hook and Emma.
Lillian stood beside her cousin in her dress as Henry gave Killian the rings they were going to exchange.
Her eyes passed those of the guest until they landed on Peter, who gave her a smile before winking at her, allowing a blush to creep onto her face as the door opened, Emma walking in with Snow and Charming as they led her down the isle.
Lillian her head snapped up as she danced with Peter while the twins were standing with Baelfire. Regina and Robin held each other closely as they looked at the black smoke approaching them.
Lillian held out her hand to each of the twins as they looked at the smoke as well.
''Where do you think it will take us?''
''I don't know sweetie ... but we'll be okay.'' Lillian answered her daughter as she kissed the top of her head. She than closed her eyes and waited for the impact of the curse hitting them.
