ALCHEMY IN ROOM four she told Ella as the pair made their way towards Merlin's class,

"Hook will be in this class.." Ella teased the pink haired girl as she jokingly rolled her eyes.

"I know..I always hope he comes to class but he never does, I've given up hope now-"

*SLAM*

The pair gasps as they turn towards the loud banging. Ella lightly tapped Bridget's arm as she realised that for once, Hook came to class.

"I know, perfect timing!" Ella smiled at Bridget as she squealed in joy.

"Hmmm..Hook, You have decided to grace us with your presence today, I haven't seen you in my class for years now." Merlin stated

Hook shrugged his shoulders, "Well I've decided to turn over a new leaf.." He says sarcastically, "where do I sit?" Hook asks as Merlin sighed.

"Over..you know what, follow me." Merlin walked over towards the pair of girls as he turned to ether blue haired girl "Ella, would you ever so kindly partner up with Charming for today? I need," Merlin tilted his head towards the boy who was blowing bubbles with his gum, "to be with a good influence."

Ella sighed as she nodded "Okay sir." before walking towards Prince charming. She hated royalty. She was annoyed she had to work with one—they probably never even worked a day in their lives.

Ella disliked royalty to an extent and that extent was Bridget. She adored the sweet girl and the two were inseparable..until her stepmother called her home to do her chores.

"So..what do we do?" The boy asked as he stared at the girl weirdly.

Bridget smiled nervously, "why..are you looking at me like that?"

Hook kissed his teeth as he shrugged "I'm not sure..You look, different" His thick British accent made Bridget want to go insane. She could listen to him speak for hours.

"I- uh, I'm not sure what you're talking about.." Bridget admitted as she started to stir the pot, adding a few leaves into the mixture.

Hook inspected her from head to toe before looking straight into her eyes "You're not wearing pink." Hook said

Bridget's eyebrows knitted together as she laughed "Of course I am silly! look here" she pointed to her waist where there was pink hearts embroidered all over.

"Oh..alright—" Hook paused "Wait what did you call me?"

"Silly?" Bridget repeated

Hook sighed "nevermind." before thinking about the nickname the princess gave him.

No one called him anything other than 'Captain' or 'Hook' but the newfound nickname didn't make him want to gag but he wanted to laugh—though he would never allow himself to.

His ego was too high to laugh at a joke from the princess of Wonderland, "Students—allow for the mixture to boil. In the meantime, you can chat with your partner." Merlin announced

"Soo.." Bridget spoke up, breaking the silence between the pair "How did you get that..hook?" Bridget asked

"None of your business." Hook responded bluntly as the girl nodded, "sorry." she whispered.

Trying to move on, Bridget decided to speak up once again, this time hoping for a better reaction than last time, "Why did you decide to come to lesson today? I mean..I always see your chair empty"

Hook laughed as he shook his head "Oh darling, You look for me in class now?"

A pink blush swiped over the girl cheeks due to the nickname as she tried to defend myself "no- I don't- I just notice most things.."

"Sure.." Hook nodded before asking "Why are you so nice?"

Bridget pursed her lips before replying, "You get more with sugar than salt."

Hook just nodded at that statement. What was he supposed to reply with? How he threw someone off the plank the other day?

"I WILL BE"— swiftly Maleficent cut her off. "you will be what Uli? what?" she asked annoyed

"I will be feared- and NONE of you are taking this seriously. She humiliated me and I need my revenge." she smirked "and I have a plan"

Hook raises his eyebrow before asking "May I ask what that plan may be?"

Uliana giggled "Morgie told me about his encounter with Bridget. Clearly if she's willing to help him. She has a liking towards him. Morgie will lead her on and get her inlove with him and then he will break her stupid little heart at Castle Coming." She announced the the group.

Hook furrowed his eyebrows as he felt his stomach tighten, he was confused why Morgie was sent on the job. He sat up straighter before asking "and you're telling me out of everyone, you chose Morgie to get Bridget to fall inlove with?" he asked

"Well, duh. Hades is taken and you are always busy on your boat." she stated as he nodded in agreement.

"I guess so."
