There was a suggestion for a scene of my own devising rather than one where I journey into the thoughts going through characters' heads. Sorry if I get carried away with that, I have this thing about analyzing characters and figuring out why they do what they do. But I have some scenes that aren't like that, and here's one I had fun writing and hope you all enjoy!

Killian observed the cover art on the box for the movie, confused by one thing.

"They all look so happy flying around with him. When do they find out Pan is evil?"

"Well..." Emma couldn't think of any other way to explain it. "They don't."

Killian blinked a few times. "They don't?" he repeated, obviously confused.

"He's not the bad guy. You're the bad guy."

"I'm the bad guy?" he exclaimed. "Now, that's not to say I wasn't always a villain, but to make him out to be the hero and my adversary..." He actually sounded genuinely insulted.

Emma rubbed a hand up and down his arm. "It's just a kids' movie," she reminded him. He nodded, but didn't say anything as he returned his attention to the screen, crossing his arms across his chest. She scooted closer to him, pulling one of his arms around her, and succeeded in making him smile.

But when the animated Captain Hook entered, his jaw fell. "You have got to be kidding," he breathed, aghast as he beheld the silly feather and bright red outfit. "So this is what you meant by waxed mustaches and perms. They are bad," he grumbled, but kept watching, and kept up his occasional personal commentary until the film was over.

"That was awful," he criticized as soon as the credits started to roll. "I mean, I suppose Tinkerbell wasn't too bad, and Smee was accurate to a degree, but everything else..." he trailed off, shaking his head in disbelief. "And what was with the Crocodile taking me prisoner? I don't even put up a fight, it's pathetic! And one other thing bothered me."

She smiled a little at his ramble and at the fact that he was getting so worked up about a children's film. He seemed more appalled than annoyed now, and she was thoroughly entertained. "Yes?"

"Gold is the Crocodile."

"Yes."

"He's also the Beast from the other movie with Belle."

"Yes."

"And he's Rumplestiltskin."

"Yes."

Killian leaned back, sinking into the couch cushions. "So basically, he beats me, gets a castle and a princess, and spins straw into gold, while I'm a pitiful villain with skinny legs, a mountain of a nose, and ugly hair?"

Emma's lips trembled with laughter, so she just nodded.

Killian frowned. "I'm not so sure about this Disney fellow."

Leave a review if you feel motivated! Suggestions are always welcome! (And I know Disney didn't come up with Peter Pan)
