The naughty corner- part 3
Boomer asked for a oneshot of a third part to Ch808 (second is 816) "The naughty corner" where Charming sees Emma a stop sign. When he tries to pull her over she just speeds up. Charming calls Snow, who intercepts Emma at home and sends her straight to the corner without letting Emma explain. Snow notices Emma fidgeting in the corner a lot and asks her if she needs to pee. Emma denies it, but keeps fidgeting. Snow tells her she can go to the bathroom, but she must come straight back to the corner. Ten minutes later and Emma isn't back. Snow is furious until she finds Emma has fallen asleep on the toilet. As with all part 3s this will be the last instalment.
"Oh shit." Emma grumbled. She had forgotten that stop sign was there. She was just so desperate to get home to use the bathroom! She shouldn't' have had that extra bottle of water, but it was just so hot today!
Suddenly, Emma heard the siren sound behind her. She looked in her rear view mirror and saw her dad in the cruiser looking rather annoyed.
"No, not today!" She said, speeding up rather than slowing down. If she let him pull her over she'd not make it in time, she feared. Charming sighed and pulled over. Emma was definitely heading for home. He pulled his phone and called Snow.
"Hey honey…no everything's fine. Emma ran a stop sign and sped off when I tried to pull her over. I think she's heading home…yeah, that's what I was aiming for. See you when I've finished my shift…love you too."
At home
Emma rushed in through the front door to find her mom standing in the hallway. Snow pointed to the living room.
"Corner." Was all she said simply. Emma groaned, her dad must have called.
"But I just need to-"
"Not interested, corner. There is no excuse for running a stop sign and speeding off from your dad. Corner, half an hour, now." Emma rolled her eyes but went to the corner. The quicker she did this, the quicker she could pee then have a nap. Heat made her sleepy. Emma stood with her nose pressed against the wall but with her legs crossing one way then the other in an attempt to hold it in.
Snow noticed the fidgeting about five minutes in.
"Emma, do you need to go to the bathroom?" She asked, Emma shook her head, determined to get this over and done with. Snow let it slide, but saw that she was still fidgeting five minutes later. Snow laid her hand on Emma's shoulder. "Go to the bathroom." She said gently, but firmly. "This isn't meant to be torturous. Although I expect you back down here straight after."
"Thanks mom." Emma said quickly, rushing off. She wished she'd gone when her mom had asked the first time.
Ten minutes later, and Emma hadn't returned. Snow couldn't deny feeling mad. She had trusted Emma and her daughter had violated that trust. Snow marched up the stairs to find that Emma wasn't in her room. Had she just taken her phone into the bathroom?
"Emma Swan, come out here right now!" Snow shouted. "Your time isn't up, and hiding in here won't make it go away." Emma didn't answer. A thought occurred to Snow, had she climbed out the window? Oh Hell no, she wasn't getting away that easy. The door may have been locked, but Snow knew how to handle doors. One swift boot and it was flying open.
Emma bolted upright on the toilet. Had she fallen asleep mid flow? Emma was then aware of her mom standing there.
"Mom!" She shouted, attempting to cover herself. "A little privacy please!"
"Sorry, but you were gone for ten minutes. I thought you'd try to escape, not fall asleep." Snow said. "Although you still have twenty minutes, don't think I've forgotten."
"Oh believe me, I didn't doubt you for a second." Emma grumbled. Ten down, twenty to go…providing she didn't fall asleep at the wall.
