I really hope thats not tha case, there arent that much lies (of this kind on the show) specially in a season-series finally (which was when Alice told this) It's not a lie, it's Alice telling her daughter a story. XD I mean, I would rather tell my daughter that my friends had a happy ending, rather then "they were eaten by mome raths!" or something :D

But I don't think it's the case anyway. I think a lot of people around the internet are forgetting (or don't realize!) that there is clearly a gap of many years between when we last see Will in Wonderland and when Alice is telling that story. If we believe Alice's account is true, he will end up with Ana-- just not yet, as it's years away from present time in Storybrooke. I don't see the point in getting so upset over the Will/Belle relationship. I think people are upset because it seems so out of character with Will. He went to pretty extreme lengths to shield himself from the pain he got after Anastasia left him, yet here the only direct reference to her has been the library break in and now he seems to have moved on. We can assume he's just looking fo a distraction, but really, must we assume everything? Can't they show us? If the writers had given us a scene of him all heartbroken over losing her again and sharing his pain with the newly-heartbroken Belle, or a scene in which the two of them connected at all, it wouldn't seem so out of place.
