So I wrote a silly little story of what would happen if some girls started following Killian around. I had fun writing it so here it is.

Once upon a time ordinary people were allowed in Storybrooke. Whoever stumbled upon the small town was welcomed in but later gently convinced to leave after a while, for magical things were always bound to happen and there wasn't a need for ordinary people to come in and take unnecessary extreme measures. Upon arrival they would be greeted by the town sheriff, Emma Swan, who kindly led them to the town mayor, Regina Mills.

One morning as Emma was driving by to see if anyone was nearing the town, she found a young lady on the side of the road, staring at a map. Emma was a little surprised to see that there wasn't a car nearby. People didn't usually find Storybrooke by just walking. Emma stopped the sheriff car and walked out.

"Hey, need any help?"

The young lady seemed to be so concentrated on the map that she jumped when she heard Emma's voice.

"Oh yes. I was planning on hiking for a couple of days just along the road and then I reached this sign" she said pointing to the dented "Welcome to Storybrooke" sign.

"I couldn't find it on my map so I figured I must be lost." She continued.

Emma smiled. "Don't worry. Our town is a bit small. It may not appear on most maps."

"So hiking all by yourself?" Emma added.

The woman seemed embarrassed. "I know it is kind of weird, but I just needed some time to myself."

Emma nodded. "Not weird at all. What's your name?"

"Amanda."

"Nice to meet you Amanda. I'm Emma swan, Storybrooke's sheriff. I can drive you into town if you'd like. It's the perfect, quiet place to have some time for yourself."

Amanda's eyes widen. "Really? Well that does sound interesting. Okay."

Emma opened the car door. "Just hop right in. I'll introduce you to our mayor. She'd love to give you a tour."

And so Emma drove her into town on that early Friday morning as Amanda told her about her hike and stressful life.

"The category I seem to suck at the most is love. But I guess some people are better off alone right?"

Emma glanced at her with sympathy.

"Aww. Don't say that. I'm sure you'll find someone."

Emma didn't notice that Amanda's gaze was now at a specific location as she said,

"I think I just did."

Emma laughed. "Already? Who?"

She stopped laughing when she realized who she was looking at. Emma had barely stopped the car when Amanda was already out introducing herself.

"Hi. I'm Amanda and just came by the town for a visit. What's your name?"

The dark-haired man stared at her with his deep blue eyes.

"Um. Hello. I'm Killian...the town deputy."

He glanced at the sheriff car where Emma was getting off.

"I wasn't aware Emma was bringing visitors. I would have brought more coffee."

He offered the tray to her. "Here. You can have mine."

Amanda took the coffee with admiration. "Wow. What a gentleman."

Emma walked over to Killian.

"Could you not be so...charming?"
