So this is the crossover nobody asked for but I just had to write.

Robin and Alice are now dating, and when Alice gets a mission from Rumple, Robin decides to come too...

...

Alice and Robin had been friends for a little over a year… and now things had changed.

Being a stranger in a strange land Robin had struggled to find her place in the Enchanted Forest and Alice had helped her, with her kindness and acceptance. And Alice was… well… Alice; she expected very little from life and Robin grew happy to exceed her expectations.

As their friendship grew so did Robin's love for her friend, but she did her best to hide it.

It took Alice a little longer to understand her feelings. Before Robin, she'd never had a friend her own age… In fact she never even had the chance to spend time with someone her own age… And Alice loved being Robin's friend. She loved Robin and had told her enough times.

Then a few weeks ago Rumpelstiltskin had tested Alice's power as Guardian and just as quickly stopped her. Rumple insisted he'd saved her from the curse of immortality to give her chance for a normal life and a chance to fall in love. Alice hadn't been able to look at Robin the same way since. Talking with Rumple and comparing his story with hers, Alice was beginning to wonder if she and Robin were maybe more than just friends, only she hadn't noticed before.

So they talked… and they kissed… and they were finally able to call it what it was… love.

After months of doubting their feelings, it was still very new, the ability to kiss those lips and the freedom to take the other's hand and to hold a gaze without a second thought.

But there was still a barrier to their true happiness. Alice was still there alone in the woods unable to be with the father she loved.

Robin would do anything to make that right. To see her girlfriend truly happy.

When Robin arrived at the cabin with her latest letter from Hook, she found a distracted Alice pacing back and forth along her porch; a sad expression on her face. Robin did a quick perimeter check to make sure that Rumpelstiltskin wasn't watching them from the trees before stepping up, taking Alice in her arms and kissing her with a happy sigh.

Alice's smile however was brief when they broke apart.

"What's wrong?" Robin asked.

Alice looked down and started playing with the rainbow bracelet on her wrist.

"I have to leave for a little while." she said in a small voice. "Rumple has a mission for me in another realm. He's heard of a creature who might help find a new Guardian and maybe know of a cure for my Papa's poisoned heart. It's in a realm of magical creatures and talking animals. I have to seek out the great and all-knowing lion Aslan."

As Robin heard the news that Alice was leaving, she wanted to protest but the last bit of information made her gasp.

"A lion? You're going alone to see a lion?"

Alice gave her a nonchalant shrug.

"Lion's aren't so bad." she said. "Jabberwocky and Bandersnatch are worse."

Robin sighed as the real worry rose in her mind.

"But your leaving? For how long?"

Alice, still fidgeting with her bracelet looked down as she spoke,

"A few weeks, I guess. From what Rumple could tell it's a large realm and the lion will be hard to find."

Robin stared at Alice for a long moment running the options through her head. Finally, decision made, she straightened her back and lifted Alice's chin to meet her gaze.

"Well I always said we should start doing more things as a couple." She quipped, to help bring back Alice's smile. "Maybe I should come with you."

And there it was; a smile that shone brighter than a million stars.

"You'd go with me?"

"I'd do anything for you, you know that."

Alice smile widened as she wrapped her arms tightly around Robin's neck and pulled her into a heated kiss.

So, pack on her shoulder alongside her quiver, Robin gave her mom a goodbye hug and headed out into the forest. They were to rendezvous at the twisted oak, the launching point for all of Alice's adventures. Then all they had to do was sit and wait until the right rabbit came along to guide them to the portal to Narnia.

When she found the tree Robin also found Alice, sat on a high branch looking down at her, wearing a grin like a Cheshire cat.

"Are you ready for our adventure?" called Alice, hopping down athletically and landing besides Robin.

"As ready as I'll ever be." said Robin with a laugh,

Alice gave Robin a cheeky smile; hands behind her back, rocking on her toes.

"I'm so glad you're coming with me."

"Like I said before, I'm all in!"

Alice paused and frowned.

"In what?" she asked in a confused voice.

Robin sighed and looked heavenward at Alice's lack of understanding… before realising Alice was just being a tease.

She stepped forward shaking her head, a playful mask of disappointment hiding her smile,

"In whatever trouble you are set to drop me in."

Alice laughed and hugged her. Robin returned the greeting with a one-handed hug of her own, her other hand firmly gripping her bow. She added a kiss on the cheek for good measure.

Alice then settled under the tree to wait and Robin, after adjusting her cloak, sat close beside her.

"So what kind of rabbit are we looking for?" she asked.

"Grey with brown eyes." said Alice. "They may or may not stop and talk to us."

They sat for a while; a long, long while. Robin's leg was starting to cramp as she adjusted her crossed legs. Alice had taken her hand, but was silently watching the undergrowth with piercing intent.

"There." she whispered, suddenly tense.

A small pale rabbit hopped out of the bushes and started nibbling the grass.

"Lets go!"

Alice was on her feet, running at the rabbit causing it to bolt away.

Robin bit back a swear word as she chased after her.

"Wait!"

The rabbit disappeared under a log which Alice vaulted over. Robin followed, her own athletics having improved with a year of hunting and tracking in the forest. She soon found herself matching Alice's speed.

The rabbit then skimmed the edge of a pond and a golden circle grew over the water. Alice dived through the portal without missing a step. Robin finally catching sight of the rabbit stumbled a little… that rabbit looked more faun than grey… but Alice had already gone so she had no choice but to follow.

The portal dropped them besides a huge oak tree in the grounds of a tall stone castle. It seemed to be in the middle of a festival, there were brightly coloured tents and market stalls, and animals bustling around. What made it magical was that the animals were the people; fully dressed and talking animatedly together; dog and sheep, owl and buffalo.

"This is crazy." said Robin in delight. "Talking animals, just like you said."

Alice nodded.

"So all we have to do now is find Aslan the great lion, and talk to him." she said eagerly.

There was a blast of trumpets, the noise escaping from a troop of elephants blowing through their trunks and then a parade of troops appeared; weasel pike-men, hippopotamus drummers, halberd wielding rhinoceroses and crossbow bearing vultures, and riding amongst them in an expensive carriage was a lean lion in a blue ermine-trimmed robe and wearing a large golden crown.

"I think I've found him." said Robin with a laugh.

The two girls shared a wide grin. This was too easy.
