Call me whatever you want sister, I'm just a dwarf

But Gold had no idea how much time they had, nor if they had any.

Reaching the docks, Gold hurried best he could to the boat, cane clacking against the wooden boardwalk.

"Leroy? Leroy?" He called, (he’d be dead in the ground before he’d be seen shouting "Dreamy?!"), eyes searching the deck of the boat until he spotted Grumpy through the window of the cabin of the boat. Climbing onto the boat, he made his way to the man, grabbing his shoulder and shaking him out of his reverie. "We need to find Nova. Now.” Gold growled, the urgency in his voice not reflecting any caring he had for the fairy personally, but something much greater in his eyes. “The Blue Fairy means to use her to break this Curse completely. To send us all back to the Enchanted Forest. If she succeeds…you can be assured your dear Nova will not be returning with us!”

Dreamy couldn't even hear half the words that Gold said, his eyes widening as his blood filled the globe before forming into the shape of the worlds masses. "It's working!" he exclaimed excitedly, pushing away Grumpy who was more than irritated at the whole situation. His love for Nova pushed through all of that, making his eyes widen as his blood indicated to one spot. "Where is this?" Dreamy asked Gold, turning to see the older man.

The dwarf’s next words sparked curiosity in Gold, however, and he frowned.

“May I ask what you are going t—” Before Gold could finish asking, Grumpy had stomped out, the little bell on the door chiming as he left. “…to try.” The man finished bitterly, scowling after the dwarf.

Deciding to do something useful whilst he waited for Grumpy’s return, the pawnbroker sat down on a chair behind the counter. He propped his cane up against the counter, then closed his eyes, opening his palms out flat in front of him – this was something he had not tried in years, but his curiosity of the Blue Fairy’s meddling in Nova’s affairs had peaked enough for him to try the Seer’s gift again.

Silently, Gold sat, oblivious to the world around him as he explored the jumbled mess that was the many possible paths of the future. A slight frown creased his forehead as he tried to focus on pieces regarding Nova and Grumpy, trying to sift through and determine if they were important in the grand scheme of things, if this new development of the Blue Fairy hiding her away was going to affect him at all. Whether or not it did determined how much effort the man was likely to expend trying to help Grumpy find Nova.

…The flash of the future showed the Blue Fairy’s plan and Gold’s eyes flew open, an exclamation flying out of his lips before he could reel his emotions in:

And it had been connected the most when near the ship. It was his only shot at finding Nova. So he marched quickly down the streets of Storybrooke down to the docks where his little ship was tied up. The same one Nova had gotten for them to travel all of the worlds. He'd never truly gotten to appreciate it back then, but now... he sat down the globe and pulled back the plastic covering it, casting it aside before climbing aboard, grasping the blank globe again. 

His calloused hands brushed over the side of the ship, letting it all soak in. He pushed back his pessimistic thoughts and his heartbreak and let himself, for the first time in years as Grumpy, dream. Dream of a world where he could be the hero rather than Charming. Where he would go and find Nova and they'd sail off, out of this little town, not caring if their Leroy and Astrid parts came back. They'd explore this new world together, not caring about what they'd left behind. They'd just explore the world, and each other. 

But, as per usual, she should have paid more attention to where she was going because as she turned to head off the dance floor, she ran right into one of the staff members.
