Ch.14: Dreamy
After announcing to everyone at the diner to remind everyone about the annual event coming up, which didn’t get any volunteers, Mary Margaret left.
Later, LeRoy, known as the town drunk in Storybrooke, met Astrid and helped her with some bulbs. Then, later on, he promised her that they’d sale all of the candles this time so they could pay the rent they owed to Gold in two weeks. Unknown to them, they’d met somewhere entirely different back in the day.
*Flashback*
After meeting the fairy whom felt like she always did the wrong thing, he gave her hope that things could turn out better for her, and that she would make a wonderful fairy Godmother. He did that by saying, “If you can dream it, you can do anything.” Then she spoke of fireflies, though he didn’t understand or know that she was inviting him along with her to see them.
Later, when he was feeling down, he met Belle. They began talking and after he told her what the fairy said, she informed him that she was inviting her to go with her, so that’s what he did.
Later though, after the Blue fairy came to him, he couldn’t go explore the world with her like they both wanted to, because otherwise, she’d be giving up her dream to be a fairy Godmother, because she’d have to get her wings taken away. So he told her that they couldn’t go away together because he was a dwarf and she belonged with other fairies. And so he returned to the tunnels to continue his work as a dwarf.
*Present*
When his promise of selling all of the candles didn’t pan out, he had to think of another plan.
After a drink with Mary Margaret, he got an idea and went to the roof and used an ax to make the lights all burn out.
“What are you doing?” she questioned, since she’d followed him up on the roof.
“Selling candles,” he replied to her.
Because it was dark outside and there were no lights working because of what he did, everyone bought every single one of the candles, so the promise he made to Astrid came true.
He went over to where Astrid was, a box of the money in hand.
“Five thousand bucks. Peace of cake,” he said.
“You sold them all?”
“Well, I had a little help,” he admitted.
“You made it happen,” she replied, amazed.
“You have no idea,” he replied with a smile.
“I don’t know what to say.”
He handed the box over to her and she took it.
“You’re welcome,” he replied.
“It’s beautiful,” she stated, seeing fireflies coming out.
He turned and saw them and looked at them with her.
