As for Aurora, I think she's happiest in Storybrooke simply because that's where almost everyone is these days. The Enchanted Forest became a barren place after the curse. A lot of the people who were spared in her quarter of the land were either killed by ogres or by Cora (those in the safe haven). She wanted to follow her new friends (Mary Margaret and Emma) back to their land to keep from being alone, until she learned she couldn't, and that there was a chance at getting Phillip back. Now that she has her family and she can be in Storybrooke, I'm sure she's happier. Until Maleficent resurfaces, of course. :P
