Captain Swan One-Shots

A Storybrooke Mermaid Tale: Part Seven

Liam, David, and Hope peeked out from behind the sand dune as they waited for Blue's signal.

David then tilted his head. "I don't even see Grandpa and Grandma. Where are they?"

"They're doing the same thing we are - hiding," Liam pointed out with a roll of his eyes.

"You don't have to be so bloody smug about it."

"I'm the smug one? You're..."

"Both of you be quiet! We have to watch for Blue!" Hope scolded as she gestured toward the sky. No sooner had she spoken than the three of them saw a blue light descending.

"And wait for it..." Hope began as they kept their eyes glued to the fairy. When she bobbed up and down three times, she then shouted, "Now!"

The boys gassed the four-wheelers as they tore out from behind the sand dunes. All three gripped the water guns in their hands as Blue lowered the protective barrier.

The mermaids all gasped. Morgana then shouted, "Adella! They're trying to make us get out! Do something!"

Adella grinned wickedly. "No problem!" She then poised her hands - only to hear a shout.

"Not so fast, you witch!"

Liam aimed his water gun - and sprayed her right in the face.

"Ugh!" she screamed as she wiped her face. She glared at Liam.

"You little jerk! I should have..."

Her words cut off when she got hit by more water. Her squeals were accompanied by that of her friends.

"Stop spraying us!"

"We'll change back!"

"You won't get away with this!"

Water flew in every direction as the siblings sent a steady stream in the mermaid's direction. As it became harder and harder to dodge, Adella shouted, "Run!"

The girls all ran outside of the lair - the ATV's followed close behind. Liam, David, and Hope continued to douse them with water.

David then let out a groan. "Hope! You're supposed to be spraying them, not me!"

"You try doing it with one hand!"

"I am doing it with one hand - while driving this thing!"

Liam interrupted, "Hey, you two! Less arguing, more spraying!" He then shot a stream of water toward the back of Raine's head.

She let out a squeal as Hope and David exchanged a nod. They aimed their water guns and sprayed Serena and Larinia in the back of their heads.

The girls screamed as the siblings shared a smile. David then noticed their grandparents waving them over.

"Liam! Hope! Drive them toward Grandma and Grandpa!"

He gestured with his water gun. His siblings nodded as they continued to spray down the mermaids.

They only stopped to glance up at the blue light flying overhead. Adella's eyes then widened as she gasped, "My necklace! My magic!"

She let out another squeal when water pelted her in the face. She continued to run - only to trip over a rope and face plant in a net.

"Let go of me!" she then shouted as someone tied her wrists together.

"I don't think so," Charming threw back as he tightened the ropes. As he stood, he crossed his arms over his chest.

"You and your friends aren't getting near anyone in Storybrooke or the rest of the Realms."

Adella smiled. "But we just wanted to have some fun. Is that so bad?"

Charming only grinned as he held up the necklace. "Nice try. But we're immune to your tricks - and you don't have any magic."

She only glared at him. Her eyes then widened when a bright light engulfed her legs.

"No!" she shouted. When the light faded, her tail reappeared.

She cut her eyes back toward Charming. He waved over Hope, Liam, and David as they continued to chase Serena and Morgana.

"Ugh!" she then yelled as a stream of water splashed her. Serena fell at her side.

She glared at her. "This is your fault, Adella. Do you know who we're dealing with?"

Adella gritted her teeth. "I have a feeling you're gonna tell me."

"Liam, David, and Hope are the grandchildren of Snow White and Prince Charming. Their mom is the Savior and their dad is Captain Hook."

"How was I supposed to know that?"

"It serves you right for messing with us!" David piped up as he slowed to a stop. "And for doing this to me!" Hope added as she flipped her tail.

"And now you're all going back to where you belong!" Liam seethed with crossed arms as Snow and Charming tied up Raine and Lavinia.

The prince and princess took a step back as a white light engulfed the mermaids. Shouts of protests converged when the light faded to reveal their tails.

They started to squirm as they tried to wrestle their way out of the ropes.

"That isn't going to work, girls. None of you are going anywhere," Snow told them. She couldn't help but smile as she added, "We know a thing or two about tying knots."

"I guess you think you're so clever, Snow White," Morgana seethed as she continued to squirm.

Snow only rolled her eyes and shook her head. Everyone's attention then drew to the blue light sinking down from the sky.

Blue hovered up and down a few times. With a wave of her wand, she resumed her human form.

She then held up her wand and eyed the mermaids.

"You girls are on a one-way trip back to the ocean - and you are never to show up here again."

"That won't be a problem," Adella seethed as she waved her bound wrists.

"Especially since we've learned to never listen to her," Larinia threw back as she sent her a glare.

"As I recall, stopping in Storybrooke wasn't even my idea."

Adella then set her glare on Serena, who rolled her eyes. "I didn't hear any protests then."

"Well, next time, avoid the place with all of the heroes," Morgana argued as she wriggled against her bounds.

Charming pinched the bridge of his nose. "You can continue this discussion back under the sea. Blue, will you do the honors?"

The fairy nodded. Her eyes then widened when a stream of water flew past her. She sidestepped out of the way.

Liam, David, and Hope sprayed down the mermaids from their heads to the tips of their tails. The girls all squealed as they continued to be drenched.

"Ugh! You've already won!" Adella then screamed out.

"That was for good measure!" Hope threw back as she smirked. The boys adopted smirks as well as they added, "No one messes with the Swan-Jones brothers!"

Adella scowled, as did Serena and Morgana. Larinia and Raine both wore a glare.

Snow then cleared her throat. "If you three are finished, I think it's time we send these mermaids back home?"

The siblings nodded. Blue then stepped back in front of the mermaids. She raised her wand.

It glowed as she aimed it at the mermaids. With a flick of her wrist, they disappeared in a cloud of magic.

They all popped up out of the water. They didn't spare a backward glance as they dove underneath the waves - their tails flipped up before they disappeared.
