Hope Jones The Pirate Princess

The dress

Finally the weekend had rolled around after a long week of school work and Hope could not be happier
"Mum when are we going?" She called down
"I'm 10 minutes!" She yelled back today was the day Hope would get her prom dress. Snow had decided to bring all of the girls over to her palace and have her tailors hand make Hopes dress. Hope and Emma clambered into the yellow bug and began to drive through the forest on their way the drove through multiple small villages who were all amazed by the car. When they got to Snow and Charming's palace Snow and Regina were stood outside waiting for Hope and Emma
"Hey!" Snow smiled as Hope stepped out of the car
"Your seriously still driving that thing?" Regina asked screwing her face up
"It's cute and it was a wedding anniversary present!" Emma tutted before Snow began to usher everyone into her dressing room where her tailors were waiting for Hope
"Princess Hope!" They bowed "what kind of dress would you like?"
"Well I've thought a lot about this I want my dress to have the same feathery effect Grandmas wedding dress had, to be the same colour as my mums dress for her first date with my dad and Regina if you wouldn't mind I'd like to borrow your Camelot pendant?" She smiled Emma and Snow began to cry whilst Regina nodded. Snows tailors began to take measurements and draw up ideas before Hope finally approved one she sat down on the stand in front of her family and smiled
"Hope your dress is going to be beautiful!" Snow sniffed
"Grandma I'm not getting married just going to prom!" She laughed
"It won't be long before you are getting married!" Snow smiled
"No!" Emma and Hope yelled
"Ok clearly we're missing something" Regina laughed cocking her head
"Well before Hope went to Hercules promposal she no we had a bit of a breakdown she's worried that things are going to fast and that she won't be able to go to some of the places me and Killian promised to take her!" Emma sighed
"Hope! It doesn't matter how old you are you are always going to be coming with us on every adventure!" Regina smiled
"You really think your father, grandfather or brother would leave you here whilst we were all off on some mission?" Snow laughed "it wouldn't happen sweetie!"
"I know it's just I want to be little again. I mean don't get me wrong I love Herc but sometimes I wish I was just a little girl again running around the palace driving you all insane!" She laughed
"Hope, you never stopped driving us insane!" Emma laughed "it was you who last week thought it would be highly amusing to hide your fathers hook in the dishwasher or pull your brothers chair out from under him !" They all laughed and Hope realised no matter how old she was she would always be her parents baby through anything her parents would stand by her. Not long after the tailors brought in a dress that looked exactly as Hope he described she tried it on
"I hate it!" She cried
"I can't blame you it's not nearly princessy enough!" Snow sighed "let's try again and this time I don't expect you to be back in here so quickly!" She hissed
"Ok Regina any ideas?" Hope smiled
"Yes let's try a pinkish dress with an undertone of peach, off the shoulder sleeves with leaf embellishments and make it silky!" Hope smiled it was obvious Regina knew what Hope would like "the problem with that one is your thinking of how to involve everyone else into it when right now you should focus on yourself!" She smiled hours passed and it was getting late when Snow decided she would check on the tailors
"Hope it looks gorgeous!" She smiled "although they don't think it's going to be finished until tomorrow so if you want you can come back or I'll have them deliver it?"
"Grandma?" Hope smiled
"Yes sweetie"
"What about if I stayed over night?" Snows face lit up
"Of course you can you can sleep in your room!" She smiled
"Hope has a bedroom here?" Emma smiled
"You sound shocked Emma she used to stay here all the time! Of course she has a bedroom!" Snow laughed
"Ok then Regina do you want a ride back?"
"I'm that yellow death trap I'll pass!" Regina laughed as she disappeared into a puff of purple smoke
"Ok then, well kid I'll see you in the morning am I to bring your dad or no?" Emma smiled as she stroked Hope head
"Yeah bring Dad!" She smiled. Emma walked back out of the castle and drove towards her palace whilst Hope began her sleepover
"Snow?" Charming called
"In here David! We have a visitor!" She smiled
"We do?" He laughed "ah squishy!" He smiled
"Gramps I'm nearly 17 you can drop the squishy now!" She giggled
"No definitely not! It throws me back to all those years ago when we first met and you were just so...squishy!" He laughed Hope sat up with her Grandparents for hours soaking in her time with them until she was told she had to go to bed. Boy did that send her back to being little! The next morning Hope heard a knock on her door it was her Grandpa
"Morning Hope your dress is ready and your parents are here!" He smiled
"Mhm five more minutes!" She whined
"Unfortunately not madam come on!" He laughed. Hope pulled herself up and out of bed she threw on her shorts and T-shirt before brushing her hair and heading towards the dressing room. There it was her prom dress
"Oh my god it's gorgeous!" She cried
"I'm glad you like it!" Regina called from behind her
"Are you going to try it on or do we have to sit and stare at it all day? Not that it isn't lovely of course!" Robin smiled. Hope and Emma scurried off behind the folding screen where Hope wiggles into her dress before Emma laced up the back she slipped on her Grandmothers heels and strutted out to where everyone was sat
"Lass that looks lovely!" Killian smiled
"Your fathers not wrong!" Charming chimed in
"I love it!" Hope squealed "it's definitely princessy enough!" She smiled
