AN: Hey guys, I'm back; this story will be a multi chapter fic of in-between moments, from some of my favourite episodes. Our favourite ship Captain Swan will be the focus of this story, these in between moments will take place in seasons 4,5 . This has probably been done before, but I wanted to give it a shot; we'll start with one of my favourite and probably one of yours too; their first date, we didn't get to see Emma prepare, or the actual date itself. Hopefully this will help. It will be in two parts, read and review please as it would be greatly appreciated; MysteryFan1997

Ch1 - The Date Pt1
I knew that I should have been the one to plan the date, I've planned dates; well when I say dates, I mean honey trap stings. So maybe it was a good thing that Hook was planning the date, I had no idea what to wear; as I don't even know what where we are going, I pulled a couple of outfits from my closet.
To say I was nervous would be an understatement, who would have thought that I Emma Swan; would be going on a date with Captain Hook. I opened my closet, and began to filter through my many jeans, T-shirts, blouses and dresses.
I held each piece of clothing against my body, as I stood in front of the mirror; tilting my head in both directions, should I go all out and wear a dress?
Or wear my go to outfit? I stared at my jeans, T-shirt and my leather jacket; shaking my head internally, knowing that Hook would probably be making an effort...Not that he needs to, as he's reminded us dozens of times that's he's devilishly handsome.
After a few more minutes, I settled on a light pink dress; one that I hadn't worn in a very long time, I then pulled out a pair of nude heels. Something else I haven't worn in a while either, and they just happened to go perfectly with the dress I had chosen. Once I was satisfied with my outfit, I started to get ready; I got dressed, then headed over to the mirror.
I twirled slightly, and I giggled softly; as I stared at my reflection, I then moved onto my hair and makeup. I put my hair into a high ponytail, and painted my nails; in a similar shade to the dress I was wearing.
I smoothed my dress down, before making my way downstairs to where my parents and Elsa were standing. I heard them talking, as I walked towards them. I took a breath, before speaking.
"Ok, I want honest opinions; what do you think?"
My mom turned around, before speaking.
"Wow..."
My dad spoke.
"What your mother said"
Elsa then spoke.
"Is that just the corset? Where's the rest of it?"
I tried not to scoff, as I glanced down at my dress; before speaking.
"This is the rest of it"
My mom, spoke softly; as she placed Neal in his crib.
"Someone's sister, is going on a very big date tonight"
I laughed softly at that, before speaking again.
"Let's not oversell..."
Before I could continue, a quick flash; which temporarily blinded me, interrupted my sentence.
"Wow, I really need to get my own place"
My dad laughed, before he spoke.
"Cut your mother some slack, it's not like we got to send you to a ball"
I smiled softly, before speaking.
"You sure you guys don't want help? Maybe I can get Hook to stay in for the night?"
Elsa spoke again.
"My sister put her wedding on hold, because of me; I don't want anyone else to stop living their lives on my account"
I smiled softly, then took a breath; when I heard a knock, I guess Killian's here. My mom smiled as she spoke.
"Here we go..."
I spoke again, while making my way towards the door.
"Ok..."
I opened it, and stood there in complete silence; as I let it swing open, I glanced at Killian and that's when I noticed he looked different.
I smiled when I realised, he wasn't wearing his pirate garb; he was wearing an entirely new outfit. I stood back slightly, as I started to feel kind of nervous; he looked at me, smiling softly as he spoke.
My nerves settled, as he spoke.
"You look stunning Swan"
I flushed slightly, before speaking.
"You look..."
He stopped me, as he spoke again.
"I know...Now that I'm settling into this world, I finally thought it was time to dress the part"
I smiled, as I spoke.
"Oh wow, you really went all out..."
He silently held out a rose, I smiled internally as I took it; my mom then spoke.
"Emma..."
I turned slightly to look at her, and I followed her gaze; as it landed on Killian's hand, or hands I should say. He has two hands, when did that?...How did that?...
I spoke.
"Is that..?"
He smiled as he nodded, before speaking.
"Mine? Yeah, the dark one kindly restored; what he once took from me, it would seem he has indeed changed his ways"
Gold had his hand this entire time? Wow ok, that is slightly disturbing; I stared at him, trying to see if he was keeping something from me. I couldn't get a read on him, so I smiled; before speaking.
"So what do I cal you now? Captain Hand?..."
He smirked at me, before playfully rolling his eyes; as he answered me.
"Killian will do"
I nodded, before speaking.
"Ok Killian, let's get out of here; before David decides to give you his overprotective dad speech"
Killian laughed, before speaking.
"Well you can spare yourself the trouble mate, I assure you; your daughter couldn't be in better hands"
My dad stood there, as he tried his best to look every bit the overprotective dad; which failed slightly as he spoke.
"That's exactly what worries me, especially now that you've got two of them"
I turned back to my dad, as I spoke.
"I can take care of myself"
He spoke again.
"Are you sure you don't want me to drive?"
I smiled softly, while feeling slightly embarrassed; I spoke quickly.
"Bye..."
I heard my dad move to close the door, Killian turned slightly to look at him; after a few seconds, he placed his hand on my shoulder. I smiled softly at the contact, but the second we began to make our way down the stairs, he placed his arm around my shoulder the second we were out of view; we then made our way towards Main Street.
We walked the familiar path towards Granny's, when he moved slightly; that's when we changed direction, and headed towards the docks. I only spoke, when my curiosity got the better of me.
"Where are we going?"
He chuckled softly, before answering.
"I'm not telling you love, it's a surprise"
I smiled, as we neared our destination; a quaint little restaurant, beside the docks. We stopped briefly, so that Killian could move to hold the door open for me; the second we stepped inside, Killian spoke.
"Well Swan, what do you think?"
I smiled, before speaking.
"I like that it's not Granny's"
We made our way towards our table, and Killian moved again to pull my chair out for me; I moved to sit down, once I was situated the waiter handed me a menu. Killian chose that moment to speak.
"Well I've only see you go on one date, and that was with a flying monkey; I thought I had to top that"
He then moved to sit down the chair on the opposite side of the table; all while taking his jacket off, I laughed softly before speaking again.
"He set the bar pretty high, he proposed that night"
Killian spoke again.
"He also tried to kill you"
I laughed softly, falling into a brief comfortable silence; which was broken when Killian spoke again.
"Shall I order us some drinks?"
I shook my head, before speaking.
"No not tonight..."
He interrupted me, smiling at me as he did so.
"Why love, are you worried that you'll find me even more irresistible after a few libations?"
I shook my head again, before speaking.
"No, I want to stay sober; just incase the Snow Queen decides to crash our date"
He looked at me, before he spoke.
"You still think her being here, has something to do with you?"
It has everything to do with me! I sighed, feeling slightly frustrated that he didn't understand where I was coming from. I then spoke.
"I don't think it, I know it; there was a puddle beside my car this afternoon"
He spoke indignantly.
"A puddle? What does that prove?"
I went to speak, when he stopped me again; he then reached across the table, taking my hands in his. I blushed slightly, still getting used to him having two hands; he spoke.
"Swan, I didn't bring you here to talk about the Snow Queen; I brought you here to have a good time"
I smiled, as he quirked his eyebrows at me; as he did so, I laughed softly. He smiled at me, while he gestured to the guy behind the bar, I guess I was going to have a few libations.
We sat in a comfortable silence, our hands entwined on top of the table; so far so good, hopefully it stays like this...
