The prompt for this one was "Jeff and Annie go on a double date with your favorite pairing from a different tv show." I chose Hook and Aurora from Once Upon a Time.


"I'm getting really tired of Abed shoving his favorite television shows into our adventures," Hector whispered to Marrrrr as the princess and the one-handed pirate found their way back to the table.

Marrrrr shrugged. "It's not his fault everyone else backed out of game night at the last minute. He had to think of something."

The pair's new traveling companions sat down. "The princess and I have discussed your proposition," the pirate said. "We're willing to help you. For a price, of course."

"Look, guy-liner," Marrrrr growled. "The way the princess here tells it, you're trying to get back to your friends, too. You've got the weird magic dust, we've got the watch. You need us as much as we need you."

"I told you they weren't stupid, Killian." The princess glared pointedly at her companion.

"Did you really expect me to not try to get a little money out of this, Aurora?" He aimed a perfect smirk and an arched eyebrow at the woman, who rolled her eyes.

"Great. I'm going to be traveling with two Marrrrrs," Hector said to herself.


"Abed's laying it on a little thick," Marrrrr grumbled to himself as he prepared to go out an hunt. After both a Perception check and a Sense Motive check, he was able to pick up bits and pieces from Killian and Aurora's conversation. Killian wanted to try to just steal the watch, but was quickly shut down by Aurora, who reminded him that Marrrrr was a thief, too, and it probably wouldn't be easy to just steal from him. She then laid on a thick guilt trip about learning to trust people. It was not entirely unlike a conversation Marrrrr and Hector had at the tavern earlier. He was pretty sure Abed was trying to make some kind of point.

"Let me use your bow," Marrrrr said to Hector, who was trying to set up their tent.

Hector gave him a skeptical look. "You don't have a small weapons proficiency."

"Whatever, I'm going to be shooting at slow moving boar. I can't imagine I'll have that hard of a time."

She smirked. "You just don't want to get blood on your clothes by using a melee-ranged weapon."

"Well, it's not like we have a change of clothes!"

Hector smiled affectionately as she handed over her bow and arrows. She went to turn back to the tent, but Marrrrr grabbed her arm. "Make sure you've got your dagger on you. And don't take your eyes off of the pirate."

"Paranoid much?"

"I just…" he looked into her eye, imploring her. "I don't trust him. Okay?"

Her expression softened. "Okay."


Marrrrr carefully pulled the arrow back, ready to shoot the boar in his sights, when a rustling sound scared the creature away.

"Dammit!" Marrrrr shouted as Killian appeared. "I almost had it!"

"Don't worry mate. You'll get the next one," Killian said, shooting Marrrrr a charming smile.

"What are you doing out here?"

The pirate's smile fell. "Aurora told me to 'go help'. Said we really shouldn't eat the food you bring back if we didn't help to catch it."

"Well, you're doing a bang up job with that helping part," Marrrrr quipped. "She's got you pretty whipped, huh?"

"Excuse me?"

"You fall all over yourself to please. It's okay. It's cute."

"It's not… I just owe her. A lot. More than a lot."

It was silent as Marrrrr tried to spot another boar. "Wait a second, we're not together!" Killian burst out. Marrrrr raised a skeptical eyebrow. "We're only traveling together because we're looking for the same mutual acquaintances. That's all."

"Okay."

"What about you and your girl?"

Marrrrr stilled. "Hector? It's not… like that."

"Please. I saw that intense little moment between the two of you."

"I was warning her not to trust you."

"That's fair."

"What's stopping you? She's cute, she's obviously interested."

"It's complicated," Marrrrr sighed in irritation. Killian rolled his eyes. "It is!"

"What's so complicated about it?"

"I'm older than she is."

Killian scoffed "I've got a few centuries on Aurora."

"I'm not good enough for her."

"I've killed people."

"I've done some terrible things to her."

"I stole Aurora's heart."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Marrrrr asked.

"No, I literally stole her heart. I reached into her chest and removed her heart."

There was a long moment of silence.

"Holy crap."

"I know. I did get it back, but… like I said, I owe her a lot."

"But, wait. I thought you said it wasn't like that with you two," Marrrrr pointed out.

"It's not. Shut up." Killian pouted as he stomped off.

Marrrrr watched him go, trying not to think too hard about the conversation. "Dammit, Abed."
