Yeah, one of the reason's I like Rumbelle is because I think the actor's do a fantastic job with their poorly written scenes. The best scene they've had in a while is when Belle kicked him out of town.

Honestly I have to agree. Rumple is really the only person that has ever seemed to care about Belle in her entire life. Other than maybe Colette anyway... I mean think about it; Moe is kind of crazy and wants to control her, and she doesn't have any friends. The Charmings are only "friends" with Belle when they need her to do something for them. I mean, when have they ever seemed to genuinely care about her? Their attitude is just, "Hey, we need something looked up. Ah ha! Hey, Belle! Get your butt over here and help us! Then you can go back to your miserable life! Thanks, bye!" I'm not saying that Rumple has ever really put Belle first, but he has at least bothered to save her life a couple of times. So she can go back to Rumple, or she can go back to her friendless, lonely life. I guess at least when she kicked Rumple out of town she got all his stuff... JK :P
