**Hey, so, this is 23a, writing Chapter 2 of this incredibly fun-to-write story, I hope you enjoy it!**

**Let us know if you have any ideas of how Henry can prank hook! ~emmacharming2**

Henry grinned as he stood at the counter making himself a sandwich. His latest prank was one of his personal favorites. He had found the bottle of cologne that Hook always applied... generously (not so generous to Henry's nose, but whatever), and replaced it with his own personal concoction of smelly socks, mud, and little ground-up stink pellets. He kinda felt bad for his mom for having to smell it, but maybe it would finally make her drop him like... well, dirty socks and mud. He knew there was more to Hook than just being a sleazy, disgusting pirate - he had some secrets he was keeping. And Henry was going to find them out. His grandma and grandpa were waiting on the couch with Neal, again. His mom came down. Henry almost gagged when he saw her. She was wearing a different dress tonight, a light purple one. Where was she even getting all these dresses? But this time, she didn't look like a 10 year old. She looked like a woman. Like, seriously. The dress was showing... no. Henry had to look away. This was even less his mom than the night before. And the thought of Hook seeing her like that made Henry clench his fists and grind his teeth.

"Woah", Mary Margaret said when Emma came into view.

All that came out of David was "Uh..."

Ok. He had to speak up. "Mom?", he asked hesitantly. Couldn't be too obvious. "You sure that's the dress you want to wear?"

"What do you mean?", Emma asked. "It's fine."

"Actually", David said. "I think I'm on Henry's side here. It's only Date 2."

"Guys, I am 30 years old, I am capable of making my own decisions", Emma said.

"Even bad ones", Henry muttered under his breath. Then the doorbell rang, and Emma answered it. The hook was back. And so was the one he wore on his hand.

"No hand anymore?", his mom asked.

"Well, the Dark One's magic wasn't all it was cracked up to be", he replied.

Henry smirked. Good on his Grandpa for not succumbing to the eyelinered grin. "Alright", Emma replied. "Shall we go?"

"We shall", he answered, escorting her out the door. Henry smirked again. The scent should be kicking in right about... now. And he was going to find out the dirt on Captain Creepy.

OUATOUAT

Emma was so focused on her nerves that she didn't even notice the stench until they sat down at yet another restaurant. As soon as she did. her eyes started watering.

"Something wrong, love?", Hook asked.

"That smell... what is that?"

Hook grinned his cheeky grin. "Well I assure you it's not me."

She leaned in a bit and sniffed, then gagged. "It's you."

He sniffed himself, and he too gagged. "Blimey! Sorry love, I don't know what's wrong, but I better go and wash up. Same time Saturday?"

"Sure", Emma replied, still covering her nose with her arm. Hook exited the restaurant. Emma sighed and began heading home.

OUATOUAT

Henry walked up to his mom's front porch and knocked. Regina opened the door. "Henry! What's going on?"

"I need to borrow the storybook."

Regina frowned. "For what? Are we stopping Operation Mongoose?"

"No", Henry replied. "I just need it for Operation... Anaconda."

"Anaconda?" She sighed. "This is another one with Emma, isn't it?"

"No, but it's for Emma. Just please, one night."

Regina smiled. "Well of course. It is your book." She went and fetched it. Henry got a cab back to the apartment before David and Mary Margaret even knew he'd been gone.

OUATOUAT

Emma re-entered the apartment, hung her coat up, and sighed.

"Emma? What is it this time?", Mary Margaret asked.

"For some reason, Hook reeked of... I don't even know what."

Mary Margaret frowned. "Really?"

"Yeah." Henry smirked. "We're going out again Saturday", Emma finished, before going up to her room. Henry sighed. Oh well. He had the dirt now. He went upstairs to his room to find out just what it was Hook wasn't telling.

OUATOUAT

Henry flipped open the book. He saw a young Baelfire... his dad. And then he and Rumpelstiltskin went to the tavern, where a woman who looked a bit like Baelfire was drinking. He realized that she must be Rumpelstiltskin's wife, and Baelfire's mother... his grandma. And right across from her was... Hook. He read the rest of the story, was already furious at him for taking Milah. Then it got worse. By the time he got to Hook selling his dad out to the Lost Boys, he wanted to smack Hook across the face and throw him into a tank of piranhas. The guy was not only sleazy, deceitful, disloyal, and murderous, he was Henry's step-grandpa. No way was he letting his mom continue dating someone like that.
