The Jolly Swan Surprise.

Ever since he'd started putting the finishing touches on his boat, Hook had been planning this party. When he realized it would line up perfectly with a certain someone's birthday, the plan was immediately modified.

The food he'd arranged from a local cafe was fairly simple, cut up fruit and vegetables with a variety of different sandwiches and meat pies, as well as some modern snacks like potato chips and the curly fries from the boardwalk. To drink, there was a juice and sodas as well as a fully stocked bar, all courtesy of funds from Hook's new job...not that he'd told anyone he'd gotten a job. It wasn't like there was any piracy to be had in Darrow and he would rather not have to put Emma in the position of having to arrest him.

He'd conspired with Henry, Charming and the others from their realm to make this a surprise for Emma. Some of the food was sitting on the table on deck but must of it was in the galley by the bar. In the center of the table under the deck was a cake made by Henry surrounded by cupcakes (There were some apple tarts, donated by Regina, but that had mysteries disappeared. Overboard. It's what the queen got for trying to clean his boat. It was perfectly clean thank you very much).

Hook had made sure to invite has many of both of their friends as possible and had them all gather on deck at the time Henry was supposed to bring Emma to the docks. There was a drape covering the name on the back of the boat. He was dressed in his pirate best, with his red waist coat and hook polished to a shine as he stood on the dock, two glasses of champagne perched next to him on a post.

[backdated to October 23rd. The boat looks like this yacht though the furnishings inside are much more rustic and only half the cabins have beds, the others are storage. The plumbing and electricity do work, but there are no TVs or anything by way of modern convenience outside of the galley.]

Emma wasn't interested in being friends with Gold, truth to tell. Something about him had never sat well with her and never would. But David had a point. "I gotta admit, seeing Regina in the past, it really made me realize how far she's come."

"From nearly killing you with her soldiers when you were a baby in my arms?" David poses, the bitterness long buried, but still there. He wishes he could be as forgiving as Snow, but he's not. He's still too stuck on aspects. "Then again, King George is just as vile in my mind. Our family really has a lot of enemies, when it comes down to it."

Emma wasn't about to make excuses for Regina's past behavior, she so she merely gave her dad a quick side-hug. "She saved Neal," she did point out. Maybe it had been a group effort, but it had been Regina's use of light magic that'd won the day.

"I know," David promises with a firm nod of his head. "Trust me, it's complicated and I'd much rather it be simple, but I understand that Regina has a place in our family and I definitely want to encourage her to be on our side. Things are better that way."
