Rush doesn't know why but he suddenly feels his whole body weaken. He realizes he has been locked in his quarters for the duration of the trip and probably hadn't eaten anything at all but these are not hunger pains. What he feels, feels like withdrawal symptoms like when he ran out of cigarettes days after arriving on Destiny.
He shakes off the feeling.
Rush glances back at the main screen. All he can see is empty space, Destiny having made its way safely through the drone field. It still bothers him why there were all those dead drones in the middle of space.
Rush checks the coordinates of the planet but a sharp pain in his chest forces him to bend over. Colonel Young notices him and begins to call TJ but Rush motions him to stop.
“I'm fine, I'm fine,” he says.
“Seriously Rush, you do not look fine,” Parks comments, “You look like you're half-dead actually,”
Rush glares at her before shrugging it off but even an sharper pain elicits a loud cry. “Okay, I'm calling TJ,” Colonel Young declares, “We're not going anywhere until we figure out what's wrong with you,”
“No, no, don't stop Destiny. We're very close to Avonlea and Belle,” Rush pleads, placing his hand on his heart. “Belle, it's her. This pain is coming from her,”
Brody and Dr. Volker look unconvincingly at each other. “Why would Belle be in pain? Is she dying?” Lisa asks.
“No, but something else must have happened,” Rush reasons.
~~
Belle's never felt her heart break before. When she was in Storybrooke, she heard stories about how the Evil Queen could reach through your chest and remove someone's heart and crush it if she wanted, killing the person. Belle's heart is still intact but a part feels as if its gone.
She's never been alone before.
Growing up, there was always someone with her, be it her mother, her father or some maids attending to her. Her father died long ago and she didn't even have the chance to say goodbye and now, Rumpelstiltskin is dead too. But at least she got to say goodbye to him.
Still, Belle has no idea what to do next.
Baelfire wrote a letter and sent it to the palace, letting the Charmings know about Rumpelstiltskin's death. Belle didn't imagine after everything he had done, Rumpelstiltskin had many friends in fairytale land. The Charmings were the closest thing he had to family - not closest - they were family. Henry is his grandson and the boy never had the chance to acknowledge his grandfather.
“Belle,” Baelfire says, calling her away from the hearth. “Someone's here to see you,”
Belle straightens her dress, checks her make-up before going out to greet the visitor. The red-hooded woman turns, smiling warmly at her before embracing her.
“Oh Belle,” Red sighs. “I am so sorry. If anyone deserved a happy ending, it was you - especially all that lost time together,”
“Thanks Red but it wasn't all lost,” she reasons, “I was able to spend some time with him before he passed,”
Red smiles, “Typical Belle, always looking at the bright side,”
Belle glances up at Baelfire and then to her friend. “Before he died, Rumpelstiltskin said my destiny was not here but elsewhere,” she whispers.
“Elsewhere like where? You mean on Destiny, the ship that brought you here?” Red questions.
Belle shrugs. “I know Nicholas Rush isn't the most amiable person and I doubt he would come back here for me unless he was forced to but sometimes, I wonder...”
“Well, if I were you, I would get away from here,” Red adds, “but if you do stay here, you'll always wonder what else was out there or if you were supposed to be with him,”
“I don't know...”
“Red's right,” Baelfire buts in, looking at Belle. “But I think as soon as we have the funeral, you should go,”
“No Baelfire, this place is my home,” Belle protests.
He smiles. “And it always will be Belle but if my father saw your future elsewhere, you should follow it because he usually tends to be right,”
“I'm not even sure when Destiny will come back,” she reasons, “I can't wait forever and I doubt Nicholas misses me,”
“But you do miss him, don't you Belle?” Bae wonders.
Belle does and figures, maybe that's why she feels another part of her heart breaking.
~~
“Well, I can't say conclusively but - it sounds like your heart is breaking,” TJ says, putting away her equipment after a brief check up of Rush's condition. Colonel Young and Chloe are there.
Rush buttons up his shirt, more than a bit confused about that statement. He had heard of the term “your heart is breaking” but never thought his heart could literally break.
“So what about Belle?” Young asks.
“What about Belle?” Chloe adds, “Is she in trouble?”
“I didn't start to feel these heart pains until we got closer to Avonlea, closer to Belle,” Rush muses, “Something's wrong,”
Chloe smiles, “You think that this is some kind of bond or connection between you too? That's actually kind of sweet,”
TJ laughs but immediately covers. “Bond or not, Rush, I wouldn't exert yourself too much. Take a rest. Colonel Young will let you know once we reach Avonlea,” she advises.
“I won't rest. I close my eyes and I'm not sure I will wake up,”
“I could give you a sedative if you want so you don't dream,” TJ says.
Rush massages his forehead. He doesn't want to sleep. He sleeps, horny Belle visits him again and he's tired of horny Belle. He wants to see the real Belle but he also doesn't want to die either. “Sedatives won't be necessary, Lieutenant Johanson. I'll take a nap and I trust Colonel Young to send someone to wake me once we get closer to the planet,”
“Scouts honor, Rush,” Young promises. “And I won't lock your quarters this time either. Chloe, please escort Rush to his quarters. Want to make sure that is where you end up for your rest,”
