Thank you for your ideas. I thought once the season had finish I would have trouble coming up with more one shots.

This one is a little light hearted one. Hopeful you guys will like it.

David missed Neal, and he wasn't afraid to admit that. Neal may have been a petty thief, and at this point David could forgive him for his laps of judgment with Emma when she was younger. It was better than this.

He looked over at Emma and Hook standing, in his opinion unnecessarily close, over the globe that would help get them to Neverland.

Emma looked up to see her father looking over, well scowling at her more like. She couldn't work out what she had done to upset him, it wasn't until about 2 minutes later when she looked up again, to see the look had remained on David's face. Then it clicked, it wasn't her who was receiving that look it was Hook.

Emma knew that there was some sort of connection between her and the Pirate, they understood each other. But she had just lost Neal again she wasn't quite ready to think about anyone else that way just yet. Her father was being absurd if he though anything was going to happen with Hook, especially if she was under the constant eyes of her vey watchful parents.

Hook was being his usual self over friendly, teasing with a side of flirting towards the blond next to him, honestly did like her, he liked teasing her, and he relished in the fact that it annoyed David too. After all that punch had hurt!

"Is Daddy dearest still giving us the evil eye." Hook pointed to the map as if he was talking to her about it.

"Of course he is, he is being stupid. Right?"

"Not necessarily love, I mean." He waved his hand in front of Emma giving her an approved look, that smirk appearing on his face.

David's frown deepened, and he crossed his arms in front of him.

"Your just doing this to wind him up."

"Can't say that it doesn't add to the fun."

Emma had an idea, she needed cheering up. There was nothing she could do regarding Henry whilst they were stuck on this ship. "Want to help me play the rebel daughter?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just watch." With that she put her hand on Hook's shoulder and lent forward slightly. "3-2.."

"Emma, can I have a word please.?" David called out.

"Now? I'm a little busy."

Hook caught up with what she was doing, and put his hand around Emma's waist.

"Yes. Now Emma." David had never sounded more like a father than in that one phase.

Emma turned quickly towards Hook as she walked over to David. "Told you."

Turning towards her father "What's up"

"What do you think your doing?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"Don't try to act innocent, I've lived with Snow too long to get caught out by that one. He is a Pirate Emma, you shouldn't trust him. And I don't want my daughter mixed up with him."

Emma soften a little she had been annoyed by David's behavior but he was only doing it because he cared, but he had to learn that she was an adult now.

"Look nothing is going on between Hook and me, we were just messing around. You don't have to go all fatherly and over protective over it. I am an adult."

"I get that Emma, but however old you are I will always protect you. Especially when it comes to overly friendly Pirates. Can I least get you to agree just to be careful. Please."

"Fine Dad, ill be careful."

David still couldn't get over how easily Dad was slipping into everyday conversations. He was even more determined to keep Hook's hook away from Emma.

"Thank you. Could you do me a favor and check on your Mom? She has been asleep for sometime."

"Really? Is she about to be woken because you want me to stay away from Hook."

"Yes pretty much." David admitted freely.

"Fine, but I am telling her why."

"I can deal with that." David wasn't sure if he wanted to deal with a tired Snow but it's a sacrifice he was willing to make.

David walked over to Hook. "Back off her Hook"

"Don't know what your talking about mate."

"You know darn well what I'm talking about. Stay away from Emma."

"Geez nothing makes you happy does it. Can't flirt with your wife, can't flirt with your daughter. Is there anyone on your family that I am allowed to have fun with?"

David smiled, but there was no way Hook trusted that smile. "Actually there is.. Regina is all yours"

David walked away laughing to himself. Leaving a stunned Hook in his wake.
