A Hooked Reunion

Description

... You know what, this deserves a small story.


It was a clear evening off the shores of Neverland, and the crew of the Jolly Roger was asleep. The moon shone through the evanescent clouds in the night sky, the main star and the second to the right luminescent like a burning candle.
That night, the captain was resting in his quarters and his first mate, Mr Smee, gleeful yet tired on the job, was making his rounds. The short, yet rotund man hummed a tune whilst looking off the side of the ship in case intruders climb aboard.
But he hadn't seen a single being until he took a glimpse from the starboard side of the vessel and nearly jumped in a fright. Seconds later he sighed of relief when he saw t was no intruder, but a woman. "Oh my goodness me, are you alright? What are you doing in the water? And this late at night?" He asked the figure as he stepped closer, readjusting his glasses on the bridge of his bulbous nose.
"I'm fine, I was swimming, that's all. It's a little... Habit of mine." The woman replied, making sure her face was only seen, covering the rest of her body with the railing of the deck. From the captain's stateroom, their conversation reverberated through the door and to the captain, making him wake up abruptly and jump to his feet. Groggy and rather moody, the captain, Captain Hook, sauntered to his door and swung it open, his eyes darting around the deck before he caught Mr Smee at the side of the ship. "Smee! I don't hire you to talk to yourself on shifts." He bellowed at the man. The woman however, reacted quickly and ducked to where only her eyes can be seen. Smee stammered, "B-B-But captain, I wasn't talking to myself, sir. I was talking to this lovely lady. Odd thing, she was swimming in the middle of the night. And uh, oh what was it... Oh! She asked to see you and I was just about to come and get you." He explained to him with a delighted grin on his face. "What are you blabbering about--" but before Hook could finish, he saw her. "You! Who are you? Show yourself!" The woman didn't know what to do. Either let go and swim away, or fight back. But considering she had no capability to do so, she gave in and pulled herself up onto the rail and sat on the edge, not revealing her tail.
"Why it's a mermaid, captain!" Smee exclaimed in awe. "Not often we get visited by mermaids, no sir. Usually they're so frightened of us that they'd swim away."
'Incoherently, this one didn't', Hook thought. He looked her over a few more seconds before he blinked, his eyes widening as if he saw something flash before him. A memory. The same face, the same hair, the same eyes... It was her. "Why... Bernadette? Is that you?" He asked, stepping closer. The mermaid looked at him with uncertainty as he lifted his hand and hook. "You do not remember me, do you?"
Once he asked her that simple question, thoughts swam in her mind like fish escaping piranhas. "Why would I-- !!" Bernadette stopped and her eyes widened as she looked at the red coated man. The mermaid swung her body around, bringing herself into full view of the two men, revealing her fins. But she didn't care at that point when she called his name with sincerity, "... James?"
Mr Smee looked at him and then the mermaid, then the captain and jumped in a shrill excitement, realizing what was going on. "You two have met before?" He asked Hook. The taller man chuckled as he readjusted his his hat before taking it off with a short now to her. "Met her? I've known her for years! In fact, the first time we met, I was a cabin boy with my fellow crew members. I was making my rounds on my shift, like you were. It was a beautiful evening like tonight, and off to the port side of the ship, I see a woman. I asked her why she was out at sea, but she said she was swimming. I didn't know what she was talking about until I saw the fins." James sighed with a smile and put his hat back on. "Oh the memories..." He said as he walked to Bernadette and lifts her up from the rail and spins her. Much to her surprise, she laughed and held on even after he stopped and looked at her. "Ah, it's so wonderful to see you again, Bernadette. You don't know how much I've missed seeing you every other day." He said.
She smiled back and held him close to her as she leaned closer. "I've missed you too, James..."

I also ship my OC with Hook so it’s very nice to see someone else ship their OC with the Captain as well! I absolutely love Bernadette and her design. Such a pretty character! :D
