mismatched (Bridget x Hook)

V- Date?

Hooks POV:
He started his small journey back to the black lagoon, a place he knew uliana and the rest would already be hanging out. And just as he guessed when he arrived to the fish location, it was up and open so he ventured in.

"Oh alast! First day of the evil plan is over. Share now." Uliana pointed at him and slumped over in her throne-like chair.

"Well technically it's not over yet for me." Hook remarked with a slight smirk on his face. Uliana just had a face of confusion but also wonder, "what have you done?" She asked him, "Yeah I saw Bridget today, she looked ecstatic. Must be a ladies man." Hades scoffed, gaining another mean glare from Maleficent.

"So the first part is in motion? She trusts you?" Uliana asked, "We're like a ticking time bomb here, we have until Friday to figure out how to completely destroy Bridget!" She tapped her wrist like it was a watch while saying that.

"And that's exactly why me and Bridget are hanging out tonight!" He finally got to say. Ulianas face immediately glowed with happiness, it was a first honestly she was never happy. "You have a date with Bridget? THIS IS PERFECT!" Uliana let out an evil laugh, which Maleficent and Morgie joined in on, not so much Hades thing.

"Well, uh not so much a date-" he tried to say but Morgie cut him off, "but just think, if Bridget thought you were actually interested her in more ways than being friends she'd definitely be inclined to tell you more. I mean it's not everyday she has a guy after here. She'll fall heavy." Morgie patted Hook on the back as a reassurance thing. Uliana nodded, "Morgies right, you should go to your date. Come back tomorrow morning before school and tell us how it went." All the VK's shooed him away and left him alone with his panicked thoughts, and there were loads of them.

Hook decided to stop by his dorm before going to Bridget's just to change into more, appropriate clothes considering the events purpose has.. shifted. After he changed, he quickly made his way to Bridget's dorm. He was worried he'd be late, not like he deeply cared he just didn't want to make a... uh well bad decision and his chances of gaining Bridget's trust.

He finally managed to make it to Bridget's dorm. He knocked and tried to make himself more presentable as swiftly as he could. Bridget opened the door and smiled at him, "Hi!" She said, with a soft spoken, kind tone. Hook didn't know what to say, "Hey" he said back in a voice that made him sound out of breath. "You look.. beautiful princess." He bent down and kissed her hand again.

"Ha.. thanks, you don't look so bad yourself." She said back trying to be in a playful mood, to be keep things less heated. Hook was just stunned, he wasn't lying she did look beautiful.
"Oh! Uh, shall we?" He said putting his arm out, which made Bridget slightly rise her eyebrow. "You've changed.. keeping things so formal all night?" She asked, with a sarcastic smile on her face.

"Is this not how all royals speak?" He questioned, to be honest that was a genuine question he thought all royals just talked in some old timey formal English language. Bridget let out a small and cute chuckle, "'maybe in the 18th century." She still thought it was a cute gesture though. Hook stood back up, slightly backing up to let Bridget out. This act is going to be seriously hard if he keeps making himself out to be a fool.

Both POV:
They slowly started walking out and around the gardens, "so what do we do here?" Bridget asked, turning to look at him. He didn't really know himself. His silence made her realise that, "Okay... well I'll ask, what made you suddenly interested in being my friend?" Bridget started of the conversation. Hook decided to spice that up, "Is that all you want?" Bridget honestly felt her face just go red, and let out a nervous laugh, "that's quite straightforward for the first question." Hook just gave her a small smile and decided to answer "I like how positive you are, even when people are awful to you.. you just don't give up do you?" It was a rhetorical question, he felt praising her was a good route.

Bridget didn't really know what to say, those feelings weren't positivity deep down to her.. to her it was desperation. She wanted friends so bad.. it's all she ever wanted. Even in wonderland she struggled to get the attention of other children, she thought they'd all think she was cool because of her princess status but they all favourite her sister. They left her out.

"You okay princess?" Hook asked, she didnt realise she went quiet. "I'm sorry I was just thinking to myself." She gave him a smile, although not real. Hook saw a bench and offered her to sit down.

"If there's something bugging you, I'll gladly listen." He smiled sitting next to her. "But if you don't want to I understand, I mean it is our first hangout.." hook realised that this information could be important for ulianas plan.

"I don't want to ruining every by like trauma dumping." She tried to make a joke, but he made it look like he was being sincere. "Yeah but I can tell your desperate to talk about it." He put his hand on top of hers, "I'm willing to be the person to listen." Bridget was kind of stunned by his kindness. He sat, holding one of her hands.

"Well.. I'm just happy this is happening. What you just talked about, how I'm always positive. It's all just an act I guess, I've always desperately wanted friends. I don't think you know how much this means to me because I've always struggled to make friends. Even in wonderland kids my age hated me. I wasn't sure why, it's hard for someone so young to comprehend. They'd say mean things, what's worse is my sister would join in and I guess that tradition just carried on here. I don't know why people hate me. Whatever I do, everybody just hates me." Bridget shrugged, "but as I said, it's fine because you decided to be my friend! So that's a step forward." She smiled to herself.

"Yeah.." hook responded, he felt waves of guilt.. he just always saw Bridget as an annoying, over the top princess. He didn't realise this. No wonder she was so eager to make friends. She cares more about friendship then her power. It's so sweet, and he was part of the problem. He looked down, "I'm sorry I've been part of your issues Bridget." He started to rethink ulianas plan. Until his inside voice reminded him of his villain status. "No it's okay! It wasn't you- well just you." She went silent. "Okay.. uh how about you!" She instantly tried to change topics, "what's it like being, well, you!" She asked.

Hook chuckled, "its amazing. I mean look at me." He said, moving part of his hair with his hook. She laughed as well. The more they talked the more Hook realised he was quite similar to Bridget, he started to question why people hated her so much, why he used to hate her so much. I guess it's because he never gave her a chance. He liked this Bridget, the Bridget he didn't give a chance too.

Finally it was time for the night to come to an end. Hook walked Bridget back to her dorm. "I had a fun friend hangout." She giggles slightly. Hook smiled, "Yeah me too, it was fun!" He turned around to leave, but before she could shut the door he turned around again and bowed down to her, "later princess." He said cooly then slowly drifting away. She just playfully rolled her eyes and closed the door.

Hook felt shame as he walked away, he didn't want to tell Uliana about Bridget's past and her problems. Uliana is a cruel person, hook can imagine so many different ideas of what uliana may do and if hurts him.
