One Big Happy Family?

Do You Love Me Or Bacon?

"I got it!" Emma yelled. Snow and Belle looked at her in puzzlement. "Okay, I can't tell you what it is now, but when we go back in there just go with the flow. You'll know the joke when you hear it." They nodded, "Oh I have got to see this." Regina said as she followed them next door. Emma lead them inside as she walked toward Hook and kissed him. Everyone's mouth was gaped open and Charming was furious. Emma turned to her dad, "Hey dad, Hook didn't want me to tell you but, we had tacos the other day." "WHAT!?" He yelled staring at Hook. If looks could kill, lets just say Hook would be a pile of dust blowing in the wind. "Wait mate, that never happened!" Hook was so confused. "So now you want to pretend like you don't want me?" Emma said and she laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm going to KILL YOU!" Charming yelled as he searched for his sword. "Honey, calm down! I hid your sword just in case something like this happened." Snow said trying not to laugh. "Woman, where is my sword!" He said raising his eyebrow, still furious. "Mate, no. This must be some kind of joke! I swear!" Hook pleaded but Charming wasn't hearing it. Rumple sat on his bunk with his arm wrapped around Belle laughing. Charming grabbed Rumple's cane, "Let's go!" He demanded, ready to fight. Hook was at a loss for words when Emma yelled, "Stop! I can't take it anymore! Hook, I think I'm in love with Neal." The guys were more confused now than before. "Wha- Me?" Neal said, pointing to himself. Rumple stood up, "Now wait a minute Dearie." "What is going on here Emma!" Charming yelled. Just then she burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"I-I can't believe you actually fell for that!" Emma screamed out through her laughter. Hook blew a sigh of relief. "Emma! Are you telling me all of this was a joke?!" Charming gave Rumple his cane back. "Yes! Do you really think I'd do something like that?" Emma was gasping for air. Snow and Regina were laughing too. "You know what! You better be glad you're 28! I need some air!" Charming stormed out of the room. They stopped laughing, "I'm gonna go see about him." Snow said before running behind him. "Uh oh." Emma said as she walked toward the door. "You've done it now Lass." Hook said as he shook his head. "Yeah, that was just wrong Emma." Neal said as he and Henry left. "So now I'm the bad guy?!" Emma asked. "Dunno, but your father seems pretty pissed." Regina shrugged. "He isn't the only one. You shouldn't play with a pirate's feelings love. It isn't something we take lightly." Hook said before he left as well. "Great!" Emma yelled as she walked back to her cabin. She got in her bunk and stared up at the ceiling. "What's wrong with her?" Cora asked Regina. "Her little prank wasn't so funny to Charming, Neal, or Hook." She answered. "Ah. Dear you shouldn't play with a man's emotions. They're already crazy as it is. You better fix it before it goes any farther." Cora advised. "So I'm suppose to apologize to them for pranking them after they pranked us?" Emma was starting to get a tad agitated. "Sweetie, men are stupid. The sooner you learn that the better. Otherwise you'll be an old spinster like Regina here." Cora said and Regina wasn't paying attention and then it clicked, "Hey!" Emma sighed, "Fine." She set off to go find the guys and apologize.

"Damn men and their emotions." Emma grumbled to herself as she searched for Hook first. "Well, I guess your plan blew up in your face." The author teased. Emma glared, "If I was you, I'd leave me alone right now." "Fine. Jerk." The author said as she got back to the story. She spotted Hook sitting alone, drinking. "Hook, can we talk?" She said, waiting for him to allow her to sit down in front of him. Hook gestured for her to sit down, "What have I got to lose?" He took another sip of his drink. "I'm sorry for playing with your emotions Hook. Truth is, I'm not sure how I feel about you. There's something there, true, but I'm not sure what it is yet and I don't want to hurt you." Hook gave her his undivided attention, "Really?" He smirked. She sighed, "Yes. I don't want to just jump into something because I have to think about Henry, he's my priority. But I am willing to figure out whatever this feeling is." She smiled. He couldn't help but smile as he stared into her eyes, "Love, that's all you had to say from the beginning." She got up and kissed him on the cheek, "I'm glad you understand." She walked off to find Neal and Henry and she couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach. "Mom!" Henry yelled as she ran to her with open arms. She embraced him, "Where's your dad?" She asked smiling. "Right here." Neal said as he stood behind them. She turned around with an apologetic smile, "Neal, I'm sorry. I never meant to toy with your emotions. That was wrong of me and it will never happen aga-" "Emma I love you!" Neal shouted as he interrupted her. Emma's eyes grew wide and she stood there in awe.

"Ummm...Neal?" Emma was stunned. Neal had just professed his love and Emma was flattered but she couldn't help but think of Hook. "Neal I-....I don't love you like that anymore. I have love for you but I don't love you." She tried to say in the nicest possible way. Neal just stood still, as if he was frozen, "Wha- Really? You're going to break my heart like that!?" "Oh hush Neal." The author said as she threw him a pack of bacon. "Ooo bacon! Sorry Emma, I love bacon more. Thanks author!" Neal grabbed his bacon and ran off. Emma just shook her head in disbelief and went to find Charming. "Dad?" Emma called out in search of her parents. "Emma!" Snow called from the bar. Emma ran over, "Dad? I'm sorry about the prank." Charming was just a little drunk, okay really drunk. "I-it's okay sweetie! I forgive you. Besides, I deserved it. Y-your mom and I had ta-tacos in your bed a while back." "WHAT?!? Oh my gosh, ew. Ew! EW!!" Emma screamed as she shook her head. "Mom!? Is that true?" Snow hit Charming upside the head, "Well, sorta. I'm sorry honey, we were drunk." Emma nearly fell to the floor, "I'm burning my sheets as soon as we get home!" She said as she stormed off. The rest of their trip was filed with drunken nights and hangovers in the daytime, with Henry being hyper and driving them nuts.
