"You?" Killian's voice cut in. Damn. I was so distracted by Killian's arm muscles that I hadn't remembered to feign a little ignorance. "They're here to save you?"

"Um…"

"Emma why wouldn't you tell us?" Mary Margaret asked sounding angrier than I had ever heard her. "What are they protecting you from? What is coming that is going to hurt you?"

"Look, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry about something that might never actually happen. I can take care of myself."

"Clearly someone thinks you can't and has sent a couple out of time body guards." David added raising his eyebrows significantly.

"They aren't bodyguards. If they were they'd be here now. Do you see them anywhere?"

"Actually," Regina cut in, voice oozing with irony.

"You've got to be kidding me." I dead panned. She gestured silently out the window and I took a peak, groaning. "They're just standing out there. Staring. Cause that's not creepy at all." I made for the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" Killian asked, sounding more and more like the over protective version of David every day.

"To tell them to stop staring at my window, that's weird."

"I'm coming with you." He insisted.

"What? Why?"

"In case you're right and someone is controlling them to get to you. As you so eloquently put earlier, they might be trying to kill us all-in which case it would be safer to travel in pairs." Before I could argue he had swept me out of the room and we were walking briskly down the stairs. I tried to ignore the feeling of butterfly-lightness that emanated from the Killian-hand-shaped pressure on my lower back.

"Oi, mates!" he called out to his brother and younger counterpart the second we stepped out of the door. "I'm afraid your constant vigilance is unnerving the lady so if you would be so kind, we would appreciate…"

"Princess," Lieutenant Killian cut him off as though he hadn't heard a word the pirate had just said. "We apologize if we have startled you, we were simply looking out for your well-being. Perhaps you would be less unnerved if we were spending time together organically."

"What?" The pirate asked his younger self.

"I simply meant that I understand having two people watching you from outside your window or following you around might be nonplussing no matter their intentions, perhaps you would be less alarmed if we were to oversee your safety whilst in a more natural setting. For example we might take you out for dinner this evening. That way you would be kept within our sights and we would feel more comfortable, and you would feel less like we were spying and more like we were simply getting to know each other."

"Oh," Did he just ask me on a date?

"Did you just ask her on a date?" Killian echoed my thoughts. He sounded like he was about to slit someone's throat with his hook. Killian stepped forward, his silver appendage reached forward as if to prove my thoughts. I stepped between them and Killian ran into my back as he attempted to get to his fledgling.

"I mean we all have to eat at some point don't we? It would make more sense if we did it together. If you'd like Mary Margaret and I could whips something up for everyone tonight. You'd both be welcome to join us." The Lieutenant and his Captain bowed appreciatively and I tried excruciatingly hard to not pay attention to the fact that when Killian had run into me he hadn't stepped back. In fact the entire length of his body ran down the entire length of mine. My hands were shaking with excitement. I couldn't deny it anymore, at least not to myself. I was falling for this rouge pirate with his dashing looks and devilish smile. There was a spark and when I felt those piercing blue eyes look my way it was all I could do not to blush. Keeping all that in mind, I still found myself staring into the equally blue eyes of the Lieutenant and grinning back when he flashed that sweeter and almost shy smile. Only in Storybrooke would I find myself falling for two different men who happened to be the same guy. Did I just attract crazy?

"Shall we say about 7:30?" I asked. "Captain, Lieutenant, Killian?" They all rushed about to accept and I forced myself to step away from Captain Killian "Hook" Jones and turn back towards my apartment. "Then I will see you boys later." Later. When Both Killians, the late Liam Jones, the Evil Queen and my parents would all be in the same room. Oh and Mary Margaret would probably invite Belle and Gold. What could possibly go wrong with that crowd?

Okay folks-sorry it's taken so long! With the end of the year coming up studying is upon me and I am having less time for writing! I will try to get another chapter done by the end of the week-I hope you are loving this story as much as I am! Also I do realize that the whole time travel thing has been cannonballed pretty hard by last night's episode but as this is an Alternate Universe I don't feel to terribly bad about this! Let me know what you think and review! Please!
