This just came flooding out of me in about 30 minutes.  I couldn’t stop it.  I’ve given up that we’ll ever get this scene.

For the moment, the Evil Queen was nowhere to be found.  Henry and Killian had ganged up on Emma,
pushing for a movie night.  Emma
reluctantly agreed, remembering Hook’s gentle reminder to “enjoy the quiet
moments.”

In their efforts to overrule Emma’s decision to keep searching out
Regina’s deranged half, Henry had suggested that it was time for Killian to get
a look at his animated counterpart.
Killian had ecstatically agreed, while Snow and Charming (who had already
seen the film) snickered behind his back.
Emma had just kept silent – she knew where this was going to lead.  She’d tried to explain the animated Captain
Hook to Killian before, but he didn’t seem to believe that he could be
portrayed as anything but “dashing and handsome.”

Henry was sprawled on the living room floor with a stack of comic books
and his phone by his side.  Killian
lounged on the couch, his right arm slung over the back, his stockinged feet on
the coffee table.

Emma entered the room with popcorn from the “heating box,” as Killian
called it.  She handed a smaller bowl to
Henry and settled down next to Killian on the couch, dropping the other bowl in
his lap. 

“Ok, let ‘er rip, kid.”  Emma grabbed
a handful of popcorn from the bowl on Killian’s lap and curled into his
side.  He dropped his hooked arm around
her shoulders and pressed a kiss into the crown of her hair.

Henry pressed a button on the remote and the movie flickered to life on
the screen.

The first scenes of the movie went by with only a few snarky comments
from the pirate.  He commented that Peter
Pan’s depiction was “fairly accurate” and that the Lady Bell was “too scantily
clad.”  As the foursome of Peter Pan and
the Darling children flew off to Neverland, Henry looked back at Killian with a
smirk on his lips.  He knew what was
coming.

As the first glimpse of Neverland came into view, Killian scoffed.  “Swan, you and the boy’ve been to
Neverland.  This isn’t very accurate.”

Emma grinned to herself and knew that things were only going to get
worse.  Only moments later, the animated
and exaggerated pirate known to children around the world made his entrance on
screen.  The bowl of popcorn on Killian’s
lap flew to the floor as he jumped to his feet in horror.

“Bloody hell!  Who the devil came up with
this?”  He pointed at the screen in
fury.  “That man is a farce!  Look at that hair and those clothes!  The moustache!  This is appalling!”

Henry was doubled over on the floor with laughter.  Emma just sat up patiently, scooping the
popcorn back into the bowl.

“Killian, I tried to warn you about this, but you didn’t want to
listen.”  She tugged at his hand.  “Sit down, it’s just a kid’s movie.”

“Children shouldn’t be subjected to these blatant lies and abject
nonsense!”  He stalked toward the TV and
snatched up the DVD case.  “How can I
contact this Walt Disney?  He needs to be
put in his place.”

Henry continued to chortle with glee on the floor.  “Killian,” he spoke between laughs, “Walt
Disney has been dead for about fifty years.”

“Well, that’s good news for him, because if I’d gotten my hands on him…”  He skimmed the back of the DVD case.  “What about this J.M. Barrie fellow?”

“Also dead.”  Henry sat up on the
floor, wiping the tears of glee from his eyes.
“For about eighty years.”

Killian shook his head and looked over at Emma, who had been watching the
exchange in between picking up kernels of popcorn from the carpet.  “You knew about this?  You knew about this all along.”

She motioned for him to come back and join her on the couch.  He did, clutching the DVD case in his hand,
his eyes never leaving the animated shenanigans on the television.

“I told you, I tried to warn you.”
She tangled her fingers with his and pulled him back down next to
her.  She smirked at him and pressed a
soft kiss to his lips.  “I got the better
version though.”

A handful of popcorn rained down on them from Henry’s direction.  “Jeez, you guys are gross.”
