Emma walked past David and into the Captain's Cabin and slammed the door. Killian was knocked out on the bed, his nose bleeding and blood dripping everywhere. What did David do? Emma asked herself. She knew David never really liked Killian, but to knock him out and give him a nose bleed. That didn't sound like David, but then again, she didn't even know him that well. She didn't know how he handles things, she didn't-doesn't know how he deals with people he didn't like. Whatever he did, Emma didn't want to know.
She walked to his bed and set his coat on the floor beside her, and looked around. Didn't he have a First Aid kit or something? Oh right... Pirate. They don't worry about anything. Emma spotted a piece of cloth and used it to clean all the blood from his nose, mouth, and ring. She carefully removed the rings, one by one, then cleaned his fingers and the rings themselves. As soon as she finished, and threw away the cloth, she spotted the rings again and her eyes widened. Which ring went on which finger? She placed one on his index and one in his middle finger. They looked right, didn't they?
Emma knelt down next to him like she was doing before before she decided to clean the blood and shook him awake.
"Killian?" She whispered, trying not to startle him. "Killian?" She shook him again until he groaned "Emma?"
"Hi," she replied, watching him carefully.
"Hey beautiful. Any chance you can punch you dad for me?" he asked.
Emma laughed, "no, you okay though?"
"I'm fine, really," he said, sitting up and examining his hand. He took the ring from the middle finger and put it on the ring finger, and whispered with satisfaction, "much better."
Emma was watching him, trying not to smirk.
"Something wrong, love?" he asked, looking at Emma.
"Nothing," she replied. He stared at her, his ocean, glowing, beautiful blue eyes looking at her. She felt him move closer to her, his ocean sense becoming stronger and stronger until his lips were inches away from hers. She started to close the small gap between them, but Mary Margret's voice from outside carried in the cabin: "we can see Neverland!"
Damn you Mary Margret! Emma thought.
"Right," Killian grunted, standing up and giving Emma his hand and she took it, "we're at Neverland." He smirked and she couldn't resist smirking back at him and followed him out.
Killian took the steering wheel, steered them into the water, and then called out, "gather 'round!" Everyone gathered in a circle around him, Mary Margret and David next to each other, Mr. Gold next to David, and Emma in the middle of Regina and Killian.
"So," Emma said in a small voice, putting her hands behind her back like a child, "where are we?"
Killian gave her an annoyed look and not knowing why, Emma blushed. "We're in Neverland," he said.
Emma sighed, "where in Neverland?"
"In the ocean," Killian replied, and Emma raised an eyebrow. "On the ocean," he corrected.
She stared at Killian's blue eyes until somehow, she stared inching closer and closer to him before Regina pulled her back.
"I don't want to see any kissing here," she said, annoyed.
"Right," Emma mumbled, looking down. She heard Killian talk, but she tuned him out and stood like that until she felt someone grab a hold on her arm. It was Killian.
"Did you even here a single thing I said?" he asked, his eyes sparkling.
"Uh.. Sure," Emma replied.
"I said, we're taking a tour of Neverland, so buckle up, it's going to be a long day."
"Mm..kay ," she said, walking to her parents whose hands were twined together.
"Hey," Emma said and immediately got a reply from her mother. David was glaring at her as if she just killed someone.
"Did I.. um.. like... kill someone?" Emma asked, giving David a scared look.
"He doesn't like the idea of you and Killian- Hook- the pirate, whatever you call him," Mary Margret replied.
"Why not?"
"Well, he's a bloody pirate."
"So..."
"You're a princess," he replied, she flinched but he ignored it. "You're a princess and he's a pirate. It's not really the best fit."
"Well, you were a prince, and she was a thief," Emma argued back.
"We love each other."
"What makes you think Killian and I don't do the same?" Emma asked and silence followed David. Oh snap! Emma thought in a singing voice. Emma and David ended up having a staring contest, completely forgetting Mary Margret was there until she stopped them.
"First stop, Tiki Forest," Killian said, the Jolly Roger was flying over the forest and they saw a small tribes living in it.
"Anyone important in there?" Emma asked, pointing to the tribes.
"I think the only one you'll know is Lily Tiger, lass," the pirate replied.
"Can we land?" Emma wanted to see Lily Tiger.
"No," he replied, steering it to the next location.
"You call this a tour?" Emma really wanted to go down and to actually touch and explore Neverland, not to fly over it in a magical ship.
"Yeah."
"Neverwood," he said, steering the ship to the ground.
"Now this is a tour," Emma said, following Killian and the others out of the ship.
The six of them walked until they reached a shaggy old house. Killian slowly opened it, making sure it wouldn't fall into ruins and stepped inside, followed by David, Mary Margret, Emma, then Regina and Mr. Gold; or Mr. Gold then Regina. Emma didn't know, and didn't care.
The house looked like it wasn't touched in years, there were spiderwebs everywhere, dust covered in everything, and Emma swore she heard a few rats and bats.
"Only been here once or twice," Killian began, "it was kind of a home for me. The boys left, she, Wendy died, so I left and.. well... became a pirate."
Emma could tell he was holding back tears, his voice was as normal as ever, but she could tell. It came with the lie detector skill she had, but hadn't work well ever since she met Killian. She moved to Killian's side and took his arm and shook it gently, silently saying, it's okay, i'm here for you.
"This place is probably one of the most dangerous places in Neverland," Killian began, "Mermaid Lagoon."
"How is Mermaid Lagoon dangerous?" Regina asked.
"Oh, the place isn't dangerous, the mermaids are. Don't walk near the edge, they'll pop up and grab you and drown you." Emma swore his eyes flickered to her with a worried expression, hoping she was listening.
The six of them got out and went until there were 5 feet from the edge.
"Here is about as far as you can go unless you want to be dinner," Killian said, and Mary Margret and David took a step back. Killian whistled and five mermaids popped out of the lagoon and swan closer to them. Everyone but Killian took several steps back until they were ten feet from the edge. Killian turned to the right to say something, but found them missing and looked back.
"Oh, really?" he said, annoyed. He gave them a wave and walked back to the Jolly Roger.
"I see you don't know how to have fun," Killian commented.
"I like to have fun," Emma winded back, "I just don't like to be dinner. Or dead."
"Yeah..." Killian said, "right."
"Anyways," Killian said, brushing away the subject, "Skull Rock up next!"
Killian steered them to Skull Rock. Emma saw many small green spots on the water and looked at them curiously.
"Crocodiles," he said, reading Emma's mind, "nasty little things, not much worse than the crocodile here." He glanced at Mr. Gold and growled. They hovered above the water, but not so close just in case the crocodiles decide to attack it.
"Didn't you live here?" Emma asked Killian, "at least for a while?"
"Oh no, I turned into a pirate here, yes, but live here? No, I was in a different ship, and when I was old enough to be on my own, I stole the Jolly Roger."
"You stole this?" she asked and Killian gave a quick nod before steering the Jolly Roger to their next location. "So this is the Neverland Plains," Killian said, "I don't need to give you a tour of a forest, do I?"
"Nah," Emma said, and he steered past the forest until Emma saw a tall mountain.
"Neverpeak Mountain," Killian replied, reading her mind again, "you can see anything from there."
Killian looked at the sky and scrunched up his eyebrows.
"Sorry guys," he said, steering the ship to the place where they first landed, "it's almost dark, and we have to get going."
"Awww," said everyone but Mr. Gold at the same time.
"Sorry," he said again, "we have to pinpoint where Henry may be."
Killian walked to the Captain's Cabin and came back with a map dangling on his arm and some pushpins in his hand. He laid it out on the floor and everyone dropped to his level.
"There are about four possible places Henry could be," he began and pushed the pushpins into four places in the map.
A/N: Sorry. It might suck, but at least I didn't have writer's block... Today... The Evil Queen... So, obviously, I can't write it on a OUaT day, even if it's a rerun.
