Sneaking Snacks

Emma and Hanna get into some trouble with their dad.

Hanna was at the station with her dad and Emma. She was sitting at across from Emma at her desk and becoming very bored with the work she was suppose to be doing. She looked up and made eye contact with her sister. She could tell Emma was getting tired of working too.

Emma gave her sister a grin. "You know, I think I could use a snack." With a wave of her hand, Emma sent some snacks flying into the room from the vending machine in the hallway.

"Hey, let me try!" Hanna did exactly what her sister did and a few snacks came floating into the room and set themselves right on Emma's desk.

The girls just laughed and went to open their treats.

David came back into the room and found Emma's desk covered with all kinds of chips, candy bars, and cookies from the vending machine. They were suppose to be working, not having a snack party. Emma had a mountain of paperwork to get through that she'd been putting off for the last two weeks, and Hanna had a book report she was suppose to be completing.

"What are you girls doing?" he asked.

"We're hungry, Dad," Hanna said as she flashed her charming smile at him.

"Yeah, we're just having a little snack," Emma said with a shrug.

"This sure doesn't look like a little snack to me," David said with a raise of his eyebrows. "And did you even pay for all of this stuff?" He knew they probably just used their magic.

Hanna and Emma just looked at each other and didn't say anything.

David sighed. "You can each pick out one snack, then send the rest back. You'll spoil your dinner. Put some money into the machine too."

Emma and Hanna nodded and did what they were told. It wasn't too long though before they decided their one snack was not enough. Emma gave her sister a nudge with her foot. Hanna looked up and knew exactly what Emma was thinking. Hanna turned and saw her dad working intently on something at his desk. His back was turned to them, so as long as they were quiet, he would have no idea. Hanna looked back to Emma and gave her a nod. They both smiled and started to send some more snacks flying into the room.

"Girls, put them back," David said without even having to look up from his work.

Hanna and Emma's mouths fell open and their snacks dropped to the floor.

"How did you…" Emma started to say.

"I'm your father. I know things," David said with a shrug.

"Aww come on, Dad. Please," Hanna tried.

David turned and raised his eyebrows at his youngest daughter. "Now, Hanna."

Hanna grumbled, but waved her hand and sent the snacks back into the vending machine.

"Now, I need to run out for a few minutes," David said as he walked over to Emma's desk a little later. "Can I trust you two to not sneak any snacks while I'm gone or do I need to bring you with me?"

"You can trust us," Emma told him.

"Yeah we'll be good," Hanna added.

"Okay," David said with a nod. "I'll see you when I get back." He gave both of his girls a kiss on the top of their heads and left to run his errand.

Hanna sighed as she looked back at her book report. She wasn't even close to being done. She was about to get back to work when she saw a cupcake drop right in from of her. She looked up to find Emma's desk full of snacks again.

"Emma!" Hanna looked up at her sister in shock.

"What?" Emma shrugged. "I'm hungry."

Hanna just laughed and picked up the cupcake.

"Hurry up and eat all this before Dad…"

"Before Dad what?" David asked as he came back into the room. Unfortunately for Emma and Hanna, he had forgotten his keys. "Girls!"

They both quickly waved their hands, making the snacks disappear. "What?" they asked innocently as they looked up at their dad.

David just raised his eyebrows at them. Were they really going to act like he hadn't seen what they just did. "Alright, that's it." David walked over to his desk and retrieved something from one of the drawers.

Hanna looked up at Emma, who just shrugged her shoulders at her. They didn't know what he was going to do. Then, they felt him put something on each of their wrists.

"Dad…" Hanna looked down to see what it was.

"Where the hell did you get these?" Emma asked, referring to the magic blocking cuffs he had just put on them.

"Regina gave them to me a while back. She thought they might come in handy if I ever needed to arrest someone with magic. I never thought I'd have to use them on you two."

"Why didn't you tell me we had these?" Emma asked.

"Honestly, I forgot until now," he told her.

"Okay, Dad, We get it," Hanna said. "You can take them off. We'll stop sneaking snacks." Hanna didn't like the feeling of not being able to use her magic.

"Nope," David shook his head. "No magic until you both finish up your work. I'll be back in a little bit."

"You do remember I'm the sheriff, right? Not you," Emma called after him.

"But I'm the dad," David said with a grin. "And Dad trumps sheriff in situations like this."

Emma just groaned and rolled her eyes as her dad continued to walk out the door.

"This is your fault," Hanna said as she glared up at her sister.

Emma sighed. "Just hurry up and get your work done so we can get these things off."
