So I've been thinking about a few things. One being Cruella and how her story is gonna play out. I believe her original story is based in the 1920's, and if the show decides to stick with that somehow, it's the perfect opportunity to bring another fairytale from that era. The Princess and the Frog, the Disney movie, took place at that time. The show could somehow mix the Disney version and the original (The Frog Prince) somehow and have Cruella and the Facilier (the evil guy from The PATF) working together. In the Disney version the Facilier gets dragged to hell in the end. That's another good opportunity to bring in another story. Hercules. Instead of getting dragged to hell he could have gotten dragged to the underworld where Hades is. They brought in Ursula and Poseiden they might as well go in that direction. Personally Hades and the Facilier would be awesome new villains because of their personalities. Plus they aren't fenale villains which would be refreshing. Obviously the show won't do this because it would actually take some planning ahead but it's fun to think!

So heres my idea. Cruella's story begins aroung the beginning of the 1900's in our world. The 101 Dalmations story happens and by that time its the 1920's and she goes to New Orleans looking for a new start. She meets the Facilier, and they fall in love. He teaches her magic since he's from FTL. She gains the power to control animals or whatever that is which kind of makes sense becuase it kind of connects to voodoo and her thing for animals. Cruella wants to go to FTL because shes addicted to magic, but the Facilier has no way there. However, Prince Naveen is coming to New Orleans and Facilier tells her that he has magic that could open a portal there. The magic he has is a gold ball (from the Frog Prince story) which he doesn't even know is magic. Cruella decides to steal it but it won't be easy because of all the guards in New Orleans protecting him from anyone who would want to harm him. Cruella decides that she needs to be sneaky about it. The Facilier tells tells her to manipulate someone close to him and trick him. He gives her enchanted lipstick that turns whoever is kissed by the person wearing it will turn into a defenseless creature and she'll be able to steal the magic ball. Cruella and the Facilier meets Tiana who has been falling in love with the prince but also is desperately trying to get money for her restaurant and Cruella says Tiana can have everything she wants as long as she kisses the prince. Tiana is desperate and even though she feels terrible about it she tricks the prince into kissing her and he turns into a frog. Cruella then takes the ball and reveals she tricked Tiana. The Facilier is happy and tells Cruella they can both rule in the FTL and have all the power they want, But Cruella wants the power to herself and uses the ball to send the Facilier to another land, which unbeknownst the Cruella is the Underworld. Cruella then opens a portal to FTL and takes the frog prince with her. At some point Cruella is banished to the real world.

Meanwhile Tiana decides to do whatever it takes to get to FTL and save the prince. She begins looking into magic and goes to the Dragon that August and Tamara went to and the Dragon tells Tiana that in 2015 (whatever year the show is in now) her chance to save him will come. He also gives her a special magic thing that will keep her young until she saves Naveen. Tiana then joins the "Home Office" and uses a cover up name, 'Tamara', and seeking to destroy magic and undo the curse and turn Naveen back into a human. Then Tamaras story play out and we see her 'die' in Neverland. But since the show does crazy stuff all the time we'll just say somehow the fairies in Neverland brought her back to life and sent her back to Storybrooke just in time for Cruella. Tamara reveals everything to Emma and everyone and they forgive her and decide to help her.

Eventually when Cruella is stopped and says she doesn't know where Naveen is because she left him in FTL when she was banished. Regina says he must have come through with the first curse and they find him as a frog at well in a swamp in Storybrooke and she kisses him and he's turned back into a human. Cruella is then locked up.

At the end of season 4 Poseidon helps defeat Rumple and while everyone decides to spare him, Posiedon stabs him wth the dagger and becomes the new dark one, revealing that he was posing as Posiedon and is really the Facilier. He uses he new power to open up a portal to the Underworld where Hades is waiting.

Now we find out that the Facilier was dragged into the Underworld after the whole Hercules story happened. Hades sensed the evil inside him and decided to spare him and team up to get what they want. They want to take over Mount Olympus and rule over that realm. But the only way to defeat Zeus and the gods is by combing the Darkest magic and Lightest magic. The only two that can do this are Regina and Emma. We find out that it was in fact fate that brought Emma and Regina together. The actual characters of Fate from Hercules were used to bring Henry to Regina and then get Emma and Regina together. Hades knows Emma and Regina now know that their powers truly are the most powerful thing when combined and can defeat him. So they take Regina to the underworld knowing Emma will come to save her and once Emma and Regina are where they are wanted, Hades and Facilier can use them to defeat Zeus and rule that realm. There's the season 5 story.

So if you actually took time out of your life to read that, thank you lol I know its a lot but I love thinking up storylines. Anyway leave feedback and what you think!
