After the rather cold events of yesterday, Hook was glad to get back to his room at Granny's. But he had taken some convincing from Charming and Snow that Emma would be perfectly fine until the morning. Charming said he would not have minded him staying the night to keep an eye on her but he recommended he got home and got some sleep. Hook was struggling to argue because truth be told, he was exhausted. He just managed to get up the stairs into hid room and remove his leather before collapsing into bed and sleeping till morning
After what seemed like an eternity of rest, he heard a knock on his door, but was unable to respond verbally as within a second, the door flew open and Ruby walked in with her arms crossed. Hooks vision was still blurred with sleep but he could make out the long black hair and the statement red in her attire. He finally let out a sleepy groan.
"Lass, if you'd have done this two years ago, very different things would be happening right now" He managed to slur out before earning a scoff from the lady wolf.
"Don't flatter yourself Hook" She said with disgust while the Pirate just smirked. She stepped a little closer to the bed and noticed he was falling back asleep again so she decided on a different wakeup call. She walked into the Bathroom and soaked a flannel in cold water. By the time she got back, Hook had zoned out completely. She balled up the Flannel practiced her shot a few times and flung it straight in the pirates face. Hook jumped a foot in the air as he spluttered and flailed his arms around in the air.
"What the bloody hell ... am I bloody drowning ... What... Wha..." Ruby began to snort as Hook spluttered beneath the flannel and finally his hand went to his face and grasped the wet cloth. He gave a disgusted noise and threw it at the wall as if it were a slimy sea creature. Ruby was holding her stomach and almost on the floor she was laughing so hard. Hook rubbed his face violently before peeping out from over his hand and aiming a death stare to ruby.
"Well the best way to wake a pirate up is with water isn't it" She sad through hysterics. Hook merely raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"And what pray tell, prompts such a rude and terrifying awakening?" he said trying to regain he composure which was proving difficult.
"I set your alarm clock for 9 and it is 10:30!" Ruby said but Hook just looked clueless
"You set my what?" He said completely baffled. He had no idea what an alarm clock was. His goals while being in this world were mainly revenge and rescue based. He hadn't really had much time to get to know this world. Ruby rolled her eyes at his naivety.
"Your alarm clo..." but as she motioned to the bedside table where the digital clock sat, she noticed it was gone.
"Your clock was right there" She said with concern. Hook followed her gaze and the penny dropped.
"Oh you mean the enchanted box with the magic numbers?" He asked with a certainty. Ruby stifled a laugh and bit her lip to avoid any sound Escaping.
"Yes Hook the box with the numbers, where is it" She asked getting a little impatient now. Hook looked at her for a moment and pointed to the corner of the floor where a pile of broken alarm clock bits lay in a heap. Ruby stared at the broken clock and brought the palm of her hand up to her forehead. God, this man could give anyone a headache.
"Hook, why is the alarm clock broken on the floor" She said with a strained effort as if she were a mother looking after a toddler who had just spilt their dinner all over the floor. Hook's eyes shifted around the room before finally looking back at ruby and shrugging.
"It kept beeping and it wouldn't stop" Hook moaned like a child. Ruby threw her head back and groaned.
"That's what it is supposed to do, genius! They are used to get you up in the morning" Ruby ran both her hands down her face in despair.
"Good, now we have established what the beeping thing is used for, Good night" Hook huffed as he rolled over and tried to get back to sleep but Ruby strutted over and yanked the covers off of him. Leaving him in his pyjama trousers. This time he sat bolt upright.
"Bloody hell, Woman! What is it now?!" Hook Barked but Ruby stood her ground.
"There is a reason I wanted you up early, Hook" Ruby said
"And what is that" Hook said with mock enthusiasm wearing his favourite smirk.
"We are going shopping" Ruby stated simply. Hooks face fell.
"Lass, you getting me to go shopping is just about as likely as you getting me in a dress and waltzing with the dark one" Hook growled but Ruby wasn't going to give in.
"That wasn't a question Hook, we are going shopping for some new clothes for you" She said while beaming at him because she knew it annoyed him. Killian just barked a laugh.
"Lass, I have worn that leather for 300 years and it has never let me down. The day you get me out of it is the day you dress me for my funeral. Actually you can leave it on even then" Hook began to raise his voice in a tantrum which Ruby continued to smile at.
"Ok Hook, but how are you going to get around the town without the leather" she said with a smirk. Hook glanced to the chair where is leather stayed when he was not wearing it. It was gone. His trousers, vest and coat were all missing. All that was left what his boots. He stared at ruby as if to kill.
"Where are my clothes, Little Wolf" Hook spoke through gritted teeth. Ruby shrugged.
"Somewhere where you will never find them unless you come shopping" She said with equal menace but with a smile on her face. Hook knew he couldn't very well walk around town with nothing but boots and a hook brace, so after another stroppy groan...
"Fine! I will come bloody shopping. Gods woman you are Satan itself" Hook frowned and Ruby's' smile grew bigger. She strutted out the door in victory and in from the corridor, flew in Hooks' leather pieces one by one. Hook felt his blood boil as He heard Ruby from half way down the corridor...
"Be ready in ten minutes" She hollered in a sing song way. Hook growled and got out of bead to face what would be a truly torturous day.
(More to come. Hook in a shopping centre and the families' reaction)
