"Do you ever consider...I don't know tying your shirt up all the way?" Emma asked as Hook finished up tying up her bandage, after they had reached the top of the beanstalk.
"Why am I making you blush sweetheart?" Hook joked.

"No, but I doubt you need to look manly up here, unless you plan on flirting with a giant?" Emma scoffed at him as she crossed her arms. She then noticed a small tattoo on Hook's chest and saw a familiar name.
"Who's Ariel?" she asked curiously, wondering if he knew who she was thinking of. Hook dropped his joking tone and went all serious as he ignored her question.

"So you want more then revenge then back in Storybrooke?" she guessed looking at the pirate a bit sympathetically now. Suddenly everything clicked in her head, from what she had seen of the red haired girl she had noticed that not once had she been in a relationship with anyone in Storybrooke. Was that because she already had one here that she was just waiting to return to, and her subconscious was just making sure she stayed faithful to her significant other? Emma shrugged to herself as an answer while Hook's back was turned to her. She also remembered Henry telling her something about Ariel's story being different from the original in his story book and that she was in love with a pirate instead of a prince in the story.

"That is none of your business" Hook avoided the question.
"It is since she's my son's adopted sister" Hook paused for a moment.
"You know her?" he asked his tough pirate persona starting to fade a bit.

"Play your cards right with me and you might get to see her again" Emma tried to promise to him. She knew that if he was going to help her he had to try and trust her. She also knew that the more he trusted her the more surprised and caught off guard he would be if she had to turn on him.

Several week's had passed after I had, had that dream and so many things had happened. The most important thing though that had happened over the past few weeks were that Mary Margaret and Emma had somehow disappeared back into our old world. No one knew how they were going to possibly return but we all knew that if they could go back into our world why couldn't we someday?
Since Mary Margaret was gone I had been assigned as the substitute teacher for her class, so Flounder would have to teach swim lessons by himself. Since I had no clue what she was teaching at the time I decided to do the only good thing any other teacher would do which was just let the kids watch Disney movies. It was really adorable actually, throughout most of the films I showed I could hear kids shouting things like

"OH LOOK THERE'S MY MOM" or "Teehee I told you Archie looked like a cricket" and also "That's not how it happened!". Even at one point when I showed How to Train Your Dragon, because I couldn't find any Disney movies that day, Henrick shouted

"THAT'S ME AND MY DOG/DRAGON TOOTHLESS!"

I probably should have been teaching actual educational things to help the kids progress with their learning but they needed to have days like this. These past couple of weeks had been hard for them. They had regained their memories of their old lives back and now they were trying to come to grips with the fact that they may be stuck here in the 21st century forever if we couldn't find a way home.

"Andi...oops I mean Ariel, can we watch the Little Mermaid tomorrow? I mean it has you in it?" Hamish, one of Merida's little brother's, asked me. I bit my lip, it felt awkward for me to show my own story. I knew if I'd show it to them they'd ask me loads of questions about what in the movie was real about my life or not. My heart still ached at the memory of that dream and it felt like talking about my story would just make it hurt more. Not to mention I'm sure I'd cause a riot in the classroom for telling them I was in love with Captain Hook and not the dashing Prince Eric.

"Please?" all the other kids chimed in. I nodded my head slowly being the pushover I was. I mean it couldn't hurt.

"Come on let's go then" Hook said to Emma as he offered his hand to her, after she had shown him the compass. Emma slowly grabbed his hand and quickly latched a handcuff around his wrist, chaining him to the nearest wall.

"What are you doing?" Hook asked angrily.
"I...I can't-" Emma started to tell him.

"Emma have I lied to you once? I risked my own safety just travel up here with you" Hook tried to bargain with her.
"I can't take a chance to see if I'm wrong about you?" Emma finally admitted. She saw a little pouch that was attached to Hook's belt and noticed that even though he was handcuffed his hand was protectively holding on to it.
"What's in the bag?" Emma asked.
"Nothing" Hook lied. Emma quickly grabbed it and held it in her hands. Whatever was in it seemed to be pulsing.
"Do not drop that" Hook told her.
"What is it?" she asked.
"It's something I took from Cora that should not be damaged, it's safer if it's with me, now give it back" Emma opened the bag and saw a still beating human heart, she nearly dropped it when she saw it.
"What the hell?" she asked.
"Who's is this? Why? Why is it so important to you" she questioned not knowing what to say.
"It's Ariel's" he told her, knowing that if he told her the truth she might actually be able to bargain with him. Emma gave him a look and before she could say anything Hook quickly explained his situation to her.

"Cora ripped her heart out before the curse came and almost killed her. The curse is what saved her life. She has kept her heart ever since then, knowing that she can control me in any way she wants if she has Ariel's life in her hands. I stole it from her to know that Ariel's life would be safe if it was with me. Cora doesn't know about me stealing it yet and if she did, she would not be happy about it. The point is, I was going to return her heart to her once we reunited in Storybrooke after we had true love's kiss. Returning to her is more important to me then revenge. Now give it back to me...please" Hook sighed. Emma thought about it for a moment and tied the pouch to her own belt loop and almost felt bad as she saw the look of shock on Hook's face.
"It'll be safer with me" she told him. She looked at him one more time and then let out a sigh

"I'm sorry, I just need a head start" she apologized as she walked out and headed towards the exit, ignoring Hook's shouts of frustration towards her.
