NOTE: This is a long post. I hope you like reading :P

I always thought, Dorothy Gale could be Rumple's Mother, IDKY, but she could be The Enchantress (Pandora) you know, The Badass-Witch of the South --- Get it, since Malcolm took the name Rumple called his doll; (Peter Pan). It would make much more sense. I had this theory for a while now. Over 3 & 1/2 centuries ago. As teens, Malcolm & Thea (short for Dorothy/DoroTHEA) dreamed of their lands called Oz & Neverland. However, Thea wasn't born in the Land without Color, nor was Malcolm born in the Enchanted Forest, it was the LWM (instead), so every year as boy Malcolm would dream of Neverland, where he could fly just to escape London flying over the Big Ben as it always struck @ 8:15PM. As Thea dreamed of Oz everytime there was a bad storm heading her way in Kansas, she would be taken away in her home by a tornado and winded up in Oz. Both, everytime. This is how Malcolm met Thea.

Although, they were dreaming, it seemed so real for them. Somehow, they both arrived in the Enchanted Forest after meeting one another when Malcolm was done with Neverland, he would fly over to The Enchanted Forest as did many times before, as well for Thea; when she thought of Oz was so peaceful then, she travelled through another tornado (LOL) and winded up where Malcolm was. They both thought, this world was a strange place to be, even they were still thinking this was a wonderful dream. As Young Malcolm (hopefully still, Robbie Kay) finally gets tangled and swooshed around and gets caught in the same tornado that came out of nowhere and drops both, Malcolm & Thea to their feet as they both stare at one another as their eyes meet. Thea had always dreamed that ever since her parents died, or so she was told by her Aunt Emily & Uncle Henry. She always dreamed that Glinda/The Wizard were her parents, they had resembled them so well. But, when Thea left the first time (with Malcolm), Oz became dark and evil. Thea never woke up, she was stuck in the Enchanted Forest with him as he couldn't wake up, it was like they were both living this nightmare. When Malcolm met Thea, this is how he lost his shadow, he watched it fly back to Neverland, he forgot who he once was because in front of him was Thea, the most beautiful thing he ever saw.

"I'm Malcolm." he says, "I'm Dor... I'm Thea.", she said. 40 years later, Malcolm is all grown up, (played by Stephen Lord) and so is Thea. But this time, Malcolm has just been branded a Theif, Cheat and a Coward. However, their son was just born the night-before and somehow, Malcolm woke up the next morning to a crying baby-Rumple and Thea was nowhere to be seen. Afterall, last night a bad storm had come back for Thea.. which led some of the villagers thinking, (as women-wives don't tend to stay with their cowardly-husbands as told by Hordor in 1x08, when Milah left Rumple) - she was known to abandon her family as Milah did with hers, but what really happened was. Thea woke up back in Kansas, right after she gave birth to Rumple (the same time), the storm ended that night. --- #OhMyGold

10 years have gone by, still Malcolm is up to his old tricks as always, penniless, poor and stealing from the rich to keep him and Rumple afoot, ever since he believed Thea had abandoned him and their son. Meanwhile, back in the LWM --- Thea has tried so many times to dream of The Enchanted Forest, only to be dreaming of Oz, time and time again only to be woken up back in Kansas, everytime she goes to sleep as Oz became darker and more evil as ever imagined it would be. She kept thinking, asking herself that was it all just a dream?! A nightmare?! Did she dream of true love, her firstborn.. for nothing. Up until, the moment, Malcolm hands-over Rumple to a pair of Spinsters who have taken good-care of him while Malcolm had gone to look for work. Thea decides to dream once more, and when she does. She realises that she's not in Kansas anymore, not even Oz. She's back where she belongs, in The Enchanted Forest only to find out (it's a year later) and her son, is a young lad and the only man she has ever loved had abandoned their son for his youth back in Neverland. For weeks now, Thea has been watching Rumple spinning wool and making shawls from scratch. She kept herself hidden throughout the duration of his, or from what was left of his childhood. Disappointed of how she left things with Malcolm abandoning Rumple, all because he thought she abandoned him. It broke her to bits to watch her son grow into the shadow of his father, knowing how much of coward he was and to think, Thea would live in Rumple's shadow, keeping an eye on him right up until he met Milah, they got married, blah blah blah. Then the Ogre Wars happened. Still, Thea didn't know how to come back into Rumple's life. He was always told, he never knew his mother as Malcolm had told him, she left them when he was born.

30 years later, Tumple married Milah and they were working on to having a family of their own until Rumple was called to the front. Thea saw that he met a Seer, told him his future and then left - just like Malcolm was, branded a Coward. All, because Milah was with Baelfire, and he would be fatherless if he fought in the OWs. The night, Milah stormed after handing baby-Baelfire to Rumple. Red smoke emerged from out of nowhere, and Thea saw Milah leave for local tavern which is where she met Hook(Killian) for the first time. Several years went by, again and Baelfire was waiting for Milah to come back home, that led Rumple to find her himself at the tavern drinking with Killian Jones, once again. As Milah saw Baelfire, she takes home and Rumple follows behind them. On their way, Milah goes in with Baelfire, but as Rumple sees someone outside their home. He comes to realise as Thea turns around, he says. "You... Enchantress." and she says, "Hello, Beasty."
