Thank you guys so much for all the reviews and welcome to the people who recently favorite/followed this link. One person who reviewed said it was sad that Hook was not going to get a happy ending. Well I for one believe that everyone should get a happy ending, no matter how long it takes them to find one. With that said I hope you enjoy this chapter.

The next day Hook was still in jail, at least today he didn't have to suffer with his highness as company. No, today he was alone, and he was grateful. He hated it when Emma came because all he could do was stare at that ring on her finger. It had brought back memories of Mila, his ex-wife, dead because of the crocodile. Of course he had stopped trying for revenge when he noticed that it did nothing for him but make him sadder, revenge wouldn't bring her back. Hook was broken out of his reverie when a women whom he had never met before came in and sat down at the desk. She had brown hair with red highlights and was wearing jeans and a dark t-shirt with combat boots.

"Well who might you be, love?" She looked up at him but didn't speak, merely waited for him to see if he would continue talking. Hook did not disappoint.

"Alright, allow me to guess?" he asked, the mystery women still didn't say anything but it looked as if a smile played across her lips, if only for a moment.

"I'll take that as a go ahead." It was then she finally spoke.

"Guess if you want, I may or may not tell you if you get it right." And with that she pulled out her phone, but it was evident that she was still listening.

"Alright, well thinking logically, as I rarely do, to be in this town you must be a fairy tale character and they always have peculiar names. The red in your hair suggests to me that that is your favorite color. And I have only heard of one person who likes red. You must be who they call Red, you are the werewolf who used to have a red hood to help control your powers. I've heard about you." Hook said, Red was surprised.

She had to admit that when Emma first asked her to babysit the pirate for a while, just to make sure that he didn't escape, she was a little, well, she had heard so many bad things about this man. I mean he had shot Belle, a good friend of hers, out of spite. But when she saw him, she pitied him. He was handsome, there was no doubt about that, but seriously? Eyeliner? I guess that's just a thing that pirates do, you only had to look at Jack Sparrow to confirm it. But then he started talking, she refused to indulge him but I guess something about her demeanor that gave away her interest. She was surprised that he guessed who she as almost immediately, but then again it wasn't much of a surprise, I mean, people do talk in this town. And usually things sad about her aren't very, well let's just say she had a bad rep.

"What have you heard?" she asked, then stopped herself, why did she care what he thought of her?

"Oh nothing to worry about love. Just that it took you a while to control the whole wolf thing, it took the life of your first boyfriend to finally get there. Snow White says that you didn't know what you were doing. I believe that and I believe that you don't deserve any of the gossip circling around. No, you're not dangerous, just pretty." Red couldn't stop herself from blushing, what was going on with her.

Hook was surprised too, he did like this girl, even though the only things he thought he knew about her were probably just ugly rumors. She hasn't denied the boyfriend thing which means it must be true, that's a bit unsettling. Hook opened his mouth to flirt with her again when his royal pratness walked in.

"Hey everything ok here?" he asked Red as he walked up to the desk

"Fine, if you're here I should go, Emma just texted she wants help with dresses. A maid of honor has her duties!" she said as she got up, the dolluphead nodded and she cast one glance over her shoulder at me before exiting the station. She smiled at me, I think she likes me. Now if I could just get out of here…

"So, lucky for you the town felt it owed you a debt for helping to find Henry and bring him home. Your debts to the bar have been made, please don't rack up more, you are free to go." Charming said all this as he unlocked the door to the cell and grudgingly stood aside, the universal signal for 'get the hell out of here' Hook didn't waste a moment

"Thanks mate!" he said, rushing out of the station hoping to catch her before she leaves

"I'm not your mate!" charming called angrily after him, but Hook was already gone.

When he got outside Red was nowhere in sight, damn, she must have left in one of those things, I think they call them cars. Oh well, I can find her later, for now I need to find a place to stay. Wasn't there a bed and breakfast somewhere? Oh yeah, above Granny's diner, where Red works and lives. This is going to be great! Hook smiled as he headed off to Granny's.

Meanwhile Emma, Belle and Ashley were waiting for Red to get back so that they could discuss some things. After a few minutes Red came rushing through the door

"Sorry, David got there later than expected." She said as she sat down in the booth next to Ashley, Belle and Emma were on the other side.

"That's alright, David texted me when you left. We were all just getting to know each other a bit better." Said Emma, nervous about the whole thing, she didn't really know what she was doing.

"Yeah, I uh, I heard that you had to watch over Hook this morning, I'm sorry." Said Belle, still wary about the man who shot her, even if he helped save Henry.

"It wasn't that bad, I actually had fun, and he seems nice." Red said with a blush, everybody looked at her in surprise and Red hurriedly tried to change the subject.

"Anyway, you wanted us here for a reason Emma, what is it?" Red asked and Emma, sensing that her maid of honor didn't want to talk about Hook, obliged.

"Right, well I was trying to decide on the color of the bridesmaid and maid of honor dresses but couldn't decide because I don't really know what you guys like, what colors you prefer. My only actual decision is that it won't be pink." Emma stopped rambling long enough to look at everyone else

"Well, I don't really have a preference, though I wouldn't mind red. It seems like a good color." Said Belle

"Yeah, but I can't wear red without my face looking all red, it really doesn't flatter me" Said Ashley, so red's out then, thought Emma.

"How about a dark blue or purple?" suggested Red, and Emma thought for a moment,

"Yeah, I like the sound of dark blue." Emma said and then looked around the table again, every head was nodding in agreement. Good, thought Emma, that's one thing settled she tried to think of what else she needed when Red jumped in

"What about flowers?" oh, right, flowers thought Emma.

"How about Tie dye dendrobium orchids?" this was suggested by Belle,

"What are those?" asked Emma, she honestly had no clue. Belle pulled up a picture on her phone and showed it to Emma

"Oh wow those are really pretty, will they be in season?" Emma asked as the picture as shown to Red and Ashley.

"Yep!" Belle said excitedly

"Great so we have our flowers…." Said Emma, trying to figure out if she needed anything else.

"Well there are the guest lists and wedding invitations…" said Ashley, but Emma shook her head

"Neal and I are going to figure that out later, along with the seating chart once people start RSVP'ing." She said

"Ok well then there us your bachelorette party." Said Red

"Right, didn't think about that, how about a girl's night out at the bar?" Ashley was about to say something when Red cut her off

"Yeah that sounds fine!" she said while giving Ashley a look. Ashley was about to suggest that they do something more outrageous that Emma would not want to do

"Alright well, I need to talk to Neal about some things, thanks for meeting me today guys." Emma said, getting up and getting ready to leave

"Hey Emma wait up! Can I talk to you?" said Red, hurrying to catch up with Emma who was already halfway out the door, Emma turned around and nodded. Red followed her out the door.

"So about what I was saying, about Hook earlier, I…" Emma cut her off

"Ruby, its fine. Hook is an easy guy to like, just be careful." Emma said, she really was fine with it, maybe now Hook would stop bugging her all the time. Red smiled

"I will, thanks Emma, for not being mad at me." Red said as she turned around and started to walk back to the diner

"Thanks for the help!" Emma yelled after before turning around and heading home. She pulled out her phone just to make sure Neal was there

-Hey she sent

-Hey you his reply came immediately

-you at home? She sent back

-yep, just got back from dropping Henry off at Grace's, you're right her father is a little weird.

-yeah, I was just asking because we need to figure wedding invitations and the like

-can't wait.

-ok well I will be home in a minute

-see you then

A minute later Emma walked into her house and found Neal in the living room, he was staring at a bunch of papers very intently and didn't notice her walk in

"You know you should be more aware of your surroundings, I could have been a crazy axe murderer." She said, startling him, he looked up and smiled

"No, you're just my crazy beautiful fiancé." He said, getting up and pulling Emma into a kiss, Emma smiled

"What were you looking at?" she asked him as he walking back over to the couch, she followed him and sat down next to him

"Wedding invitations, I had a few different ones sent over for us to look at." Emma was impressed

"Wow ok, which one is your favorite?" she asked him and he immediately picked one up from the table, it was pretty, simple, Emma liked it

"I like this one, what do you think?" He asked her softly

"It seems we have our wedding invitation." She answered and kissed him again. When they broke apart Neal reached for the phone and called the company to inform them which invitation they were choosing and how many they needed. When he hung up he turned back to Emma, who was looking through a bridal magazine

"Have you figured out the dresses yet?" he asked her

"Yeah, dark blue and I even have the flowers ready, Belle called the floral shop and ordered these." Emma said, showing Neal a picture on her phone.

"Pretty." Neal said before leaning down and kissing Emma. He picked her up and carried her upstairs to the bedroom, knowing full well they had at least a few hours alone together.

Hey guys I hope you liked the chapter! Thanks again for all of the support! If you have any ideas at all please don't hesitate to tell me!
