A/N: Thank you for the feedback, guys! I've taken it to heart. I just wanted to point out that in no way am I condoning Hook's actions in real life. I get that it may offend some people that Hook acts like an ass, but I like writing him as one. If it makes you upset, then all I can offer is that you don't read on. However, I do agree that Emma needs to kick his ass real good. :)

"Emma, imagine my fist is his face," Charming said, trying to spur on his daughter. Emma slammed her fist into his gloved palm with all the force she could muster. The next time I see that bastard, he won't see me coming. "Is that the best you can do?" Thinking it was Hook's groin this time, Emma came in for a jab. "Come on, Emma! Surely that's not all you've got?" Charming goaded his little girl.

Forgetting that she was practicing with her father, Emma whirled and did a fast kick to the jaw. Charming didn't see the bloody thing coming. Her foot collided with his face, knocking him hard on his ass.

"Son of a bitch..." he murmured, rubbing the wounded area.

"Oh God, oh God, I'm so sorry!" Emma said desperately.

Charming forced a smile. "I'm so proud of you. The next time he tries to kiss you, and I'm not there, you'll be good to go." Aw. Daddy's little girl.

Emma pulled him to his feet. "I'm glad you think so because I think I will make good on my word and kill him." She grinned, flashing her white teeth.

"Just make sure I'm there to watch... Mmm, I need to go check up on this inside. I'll be back out in a minute," he announced, fingering the bruise that was swelling around his jaw.

Couldn't have that pretty face busted in now could we?

It was at that very fortunate moment when Hook came strolling down the neighborhood, eyeing the new Charming abode. Catching sight of Swan, he grinned privately. "Hey, Beautiful! Got a new car I see."

Emma whirled, secretly screaming inside with glee. Oh—she was going to play him. Hard. "Hey, Handsome," she returned back, voice enticingly sensual. Oh I'm seriously about to kick your ass, and when David comes back out, we're BOTH going to kick your ass.

Hook smiled, thinking that his kiss might have undone her. Ambling up, he started: "Love, you look ravishing in your—"

Emma punched him hard in the face. "Ow—bloody hell! What was that for, woman?"

"For kissing me, you sick bastard."

"Come off it—you know you want me, love." He appeared unaffected and even more cocky.

Emma went in for the kick. Her foot connected powerfully with his scruffy cheek, and he stumbled. "Mother of God, Swan! Stop it! I didn't know you were into this kind of stuff. You use whips and belts too?"

"Excuse me?" a voice cut in to their left.

"Oh no..." Hook whispered.

"Oh yes," Emma laughed. She knew full well who that voice belonged to.

Charming stood on the porch, arms crossed over his chest as he glared down at Hook. "I've been training her, Hook, so you'll have to get a little more creative from now on if you don't want to get beat up every time you approach her... Show him what you can do, Emma."

Emma wasted no time delivering punishment. She swung and jabbed at the pirate, this time making him truly dance. The pirate was quick on his feet, impressed by her skill but cursing all the same. He wanted to burst out laughing because this was a turn-on for him.

He let her go for a few more throws before he smiled and suddenly swung out with his right leg in a wide arc. Emma fell on her back with a loud 'oof!', and he instantly had her pinned to the wet ground.

"You're Daddy just challenged me, Swan. I can and will get more creative..." he hissed into her ear. "After all...I am supposed to be a gentleman." He winked at her before rolling nimbly to his feet.

"Hey!" Charming shouted, flying off the porch to haul Emma to her feet. "If you lay a finger on her again, I'll find you and personally end this."

"Good luck with that, mate."

With that, he shot off down the lane.

He had to get more creative.

Less humor, but a point was made to Hook XD Remember that these one-shots will necessarily not be in chronological order. Think it would be too soon to elaborate on the sundae scene?
