My theory on how she knows RumpleGold/Nealfire/HenryBoy & Other FTL Characters.

My money's on TINKERBELL, for S3. Why? Here's why. [NOTE: It's a long post]

Before The Curse even started. 200+ odd years ago. Several months, before Bae's birth. Rumple got a letter that he was going to be fighting in the Ogre Wars. Milah didn't want this, bcos she was knitting Bae's quilt, but she didn't tell Rumple. He was so thrilled, bcos he didn't want to live up to the fact, his father was a Coward and Theif. I think, what really happened was, he died saving Rumple when he was a boy, bcos Pan wanted him. Nah. Doesn't sounds right, let's start again. Oh, blah, blah, blah. Rumple got a letter to fight in the Ogre Wars, Milah wasn't happy, she was pregnant with Bae, but never told Rumple. Ah, yes. Milah agrees to this and Rumple sets off. On the day of his Oreintation. Rumple encounteers with a young Seer who tells him that Milah is with child, believes she is lying, bcos if he fights in War, their unborn child would be fatherless, or so to speak. When he realises, the Seer was telling the truth. Rumple injures his leg and the word quickly gets out, before Rumple could run home that he was now known as The Village Coward, just like his father was, except his Father was also Theif. Rumple comes home to find Milah holding a baby Baelfire and makes a promise that he would never leave him ever again. 13 years later, or a few months in between. A week before, Bae's 14th birthday. The Dark One, known as Zoso [who I think, is actually Claude Frollo] --- has been controlled by The Duke of the village and is forcing the Duke's soilders to go into Parent's homes and takes their children at a certain age of 14. Baelfire was afraid and so Rumple, he had already lost Milah. Embarrassed that The Duke told Bae about really happened to why his mother left him, bcos women don't tend to love cowards. Bae asks - if it was true, that Milah was dead. But, actually Killian Jones took Milah from Rumple and told him to lie to his son.

After KJ stole Milah, Rumple lied to Bae for so many years and when he met with Zoso, directly, Zoso realises his timespan is up. He decides that he will choose Rumple to take over. He only did this, bcos Tinkerbell knew Rumple's father was a good man. However, the night, Rumple killed Zoso. Bae was more afraid of his Papa than everyone was. His friends had left him and Bae was alone. Which meant after a conversation with his only friend left, Morraine. She told him that the Blue Fairy could help him out with his wish to take him/his father to a LWM. Only, the BF would know this, yes, becos she knew that Tinkerbell knows how to crossborders, with the exception of Fairy Dust in Our World. That night, Bae said his wish. BF said that she couldn't fix his father, but she did say she could take them both to a land without magic where Rumple would be his normal-self and that Baelfire could have his Papa back and not as The Dark One. Except, in this case. Tink already knew of this Prophecy before Rumple ever did. Peter was already looking for the boy, he wanted. So, when BF gave Bae the last magic bean she had left, she gave it to Baelfire - only to find out later on from Rumple that he blamed her for losing Bae. For Rumple to reunited with Bae, BF hesitated when he mentioned CURSE, yells out "I WILL FIND HIM! I WILL FIND BAE!" The moment, Rumple let go of Bae as he went through the portal alone. The Prophecy had started for him to make it right.

One year has gone by in FTL and Rumple is alone, he's more darker than ever and finds himself in a downward spiral in search of a magic bean that could transport him to the LWM, whereas Bae is located in London. Days later, after a converation with Smee. Rumple finds out that Killian Jones is back and that their fight is LONG OVERDUE. Unfortunately, secretly KJ brought Milah back with him from Neverland. Bcos Tinkerbell told Killian that Milah didn't belong in Neverland, like NO GIRLS ALOUD, unless you're a Dark Fairy or Mermaid. XD. Only to find out, Milah was still alive and not dead. When Rumple kills Milah, Rumple takes his hand and Killian Jones becomes Captain Hook. Meanwhile, Baelfire had been with The Darlings partially, for these last few months now. The Shadow returns back to London at Wendy's window. Tinkerbell had ordered The Shadow to go and get Wendy. That night, when she went to Neverland. She talked with Tinkerbell, asked her, if a BOY named Baelfire was there. Wendy nods. The next mornng, Wendy comes back to find Bae waiting for her, seemed like many hours in Neverland, but only a night in Our World. She comes home to tell Bae that The Shadow wants Michael. Secretly, Wendy made a deal with Tinkerbell for Bae, in return she will never see Peter again. Which would explain why, Peter let her go. Because Tinkerbell knew who he was, but Peter didn't. Peter became so frustrated that decades before, Peter and Killian knew each other once, and then one day Peter lost his shadow. He was good then, but Peter did not understand, though Tinkerbell said it was for his own good, it was the only way to portect him from the REAL WORLD. Although, these Lost Ones became like the family he never had, Peter always wanted a family. So, the Lost Ones became his brothers, instead. But, Tink was their mother and not Wendy. Tinkerbell controls Pan's shadow, while Peter becomes more darker and feared among the other Lost Ones, except for the older ones who obey him by finding the BOY, he wants.

Baelfire makes a deal with The Shadow to take him, instead and to leave The Darlings alone and to never return to her window again. Wendy watches Bae as he flies with Pan's shadow. This is the moment, where she realises she made a mistake and tells her parents of Neverland and its' danger. For the first time ever, her father believes Wendy. This wasn't one of her fairytales about Neverland, it was the ACTUAL truth. Because they saw Baelfire fly away with some shadow figure, thing. Meanwhile in Neverland, Bae escapes Pan's shadow and realises he doesn't want to go to Neverland, bcos then he'll never leave. Bae meets Hook and so he hides Bae from the Lost Ones, which is why they were there, bcos Tink sent them to find Baelfire. But, Hook wanted Bae, bcos he was Rumple's son. In the end, Hook teaches Bae how to fly the Jolly Roger, after finding out he's Rumple/Milah's son. Bae took Hook on how to kill his Papa with his dagger. However, Bae finds out Hook was the Pirate who tore apart his family, but actually it was Rumple who started, the damn thing. Hook betrays Bae and hands him over to The Lost Ones, hoping Peter Pan won't be mad at him forever. Bcos it was Hook who helped Tink rip off Pan's shadow. When the Lost Ones find out that Bae isn't the boy, Pan is looking for. Bae is taken to the others where Bae finally meets Tinkerbell. Hook realises that he misses Baelfire already. He wishes that he never betrayed Baelfire. Hook make a HUGE mistake.

However... 100+ years have passed now and Tinkerbell has protected Baelfire long enough, she has showed up him magic of light, instead of her favourite as dark. She told him that she knew of The Blue Fairy and hopes to see her again sometime soon, or whatever. She decides it's time for Bae to leave. Because now, Bae wants to LEAVE Neverland. He's gotten to know The Lost Ones aren't ALL bad, yet he thinks of Felix as a brother which is weird, bcos Felix hates Bae so much, he thought he would've been dead, decades ago -- if Tinkerbell didn't keep him alive. Of course, Peter doesn't approve of this idea, becos he still hasn't found the BOY, he wants. However, he had grown to know Peter personally and makes a deal with Pan himself. Somehow, they had a heart-to-heart because Peter/Baelfire have some things in common. They were abandoned, but Bae misses his Father. Bae finds out that Peter in Tink's son. She was protecting Peter, for his own good. Now, Tink must protect Bae. Peter understands, bcos he knew of Milah. Peter met her through Hook. Of course, Hook fears Pan. Yet, he found out Milah was Bae's mother. Pan understands, agrees to let him go. However, the deal that was struck is when Bae promised Pan that he would find the BOY he wants. Bae emphasises that Pan needed the BOY. Tinkerbell agrees to take Bae to OUR world on one condition. She must find the BOY before someone else does. Apparently, she found out about The Curse. Tinkerbell takes Baelfire out of Neverland with a promise to Peter, SHE WILL FIND THE BOY.

It's 1992 and Bae celebrates his 15th birthday with Tinkerbell, who can somehow turn off her magic just like that. Since, the only magic she can use is fairy dust, which she doesn't have anymore. She can't fly, either. Unfortunately, unknown to Bae's knowledge 100+ years had gone by and The Darling descendants had started The Home Office. It is now, 8-9 years into The Curse where Tinkerbell is fully aware of Storybrooke. Becos she found out Blue was taken there along with the other fairies too. So, Bae couldn't stay in London. Smehow, they both winded up in the States somewhere. It's 1995 and Bae is now 18. He has changed his named to Neal Cassady and now leaves in New Jersey and works as a janitor. Next she found out who August was, sent him to Neal, told him that he knew he was Baelfire, since Pinocchio is a liar. Would explain why he was turning back into wood. Tink told August to break up Swanfire and make Neal, do what is right for Emma. Of course, Tink knew the moment, Emma was with child. I'm guessing, pretending to be a Adoption Agentwoman. Tink disguised herself as someone who does closed Adoptions which is what she requested in jail. Tink took him, but before Emma gave him. Tink asked, if Emma was to name the BOY, what would Henry's REAL name be? Emma could've said Peter. Because she like the Peter Pan stories. 10 years later, Peter becomes trapped in Henry's soul of lost, confusion and depression and stress. Realising everyone hasn't grown up, except him in the last 10 years. Finally, he brings Emma to SB, and time starts moving again. Henry's PLEASED seeing the clocktower move. Rumple hopes that Emma enjoys her stay in SB.

A month or two goes by, August arrives in SB pretending to Rumple's longlost son and Henry's new friend who believes in his stories. After the encounter with Mr. Gold, who is fully aware of his identity. Gold pushes Emma in the right direction, only to have failed once again that Henry is Emma's last hope.. which makes Henry so special. Henry warned Emma about Regina's evil ways, but Emma ignored the danger which led to Regina losing the last piece of magic she had left that almost got Henry killed. Now, for some reason, since magic has come to Storybrooke. Time started moving in Neverland and everyone started aging. Now to stop this from happening, because it happened before. History is repeating itself. Henry brought Emma to SB and this so-called fake-town began to move in time a year ago, now magic is back in SB. Neverland is different now. Neverland is aging rapidly, so to stop it from happening. The last piece to the puzzle was that Greg/Tamara work for the Home Office, wich is actually run by Tinkerbell and not Wendy. Her descendants are dead. Tinkerbell controls Pan's shadow, Peter lost himself in this OTHER life, so in a way for him to return in this new life meaning Our World. Henry was created through the magic of True Love's Kiss and The Dark One's Curse, meaning Emma was the product of True Love and Neal is Son of the Dark One. Which would mean why Henry is Rumple's Undoing and that Emma is the only one who can save Henry.

She saved him once, bcos he died and she brought him back to life again and now she has to do it again and break Henry's curse. Although, she unaware of these events which Rumple does know. Henry is different in Season 3, was one reason. Henry changes and he has to make everyone believe in HIM, including his Paternal Grandpa. Rumplestiltskin.

I hope, I didn't confuse anyone?! Thoughts?!!!
