Chapter One – The White Cliffs Of Dover

It was just approaching dawn as the large cruise liner came within sight of land. Few of the many passengers were up and about to see it, but two people were, and they were rewarded with a glorious sight.

"Wow!" said the girl softly as she gazed at the horizon, "I have never seen anything so beautiful."

"Me neither." Agreed her male companion, however his gaze was not upon the horizon, but upon the slender redhead standing in front of him.

Raising his eyes to see what had aroused her senses so, he was overawed by the sight of the seven chalk white cliffs that form the white cliffs of Dover. The white chalk in stark contrast to the fading dark blue sky gave the cliffs a mystic appearance. And as the first few rays of the dawn began to creep over the horizon, bringing tinges of pink and orange, to not only the sky, but the white of the cliffs; illuminating them resplendently so that the two who were watching were stunned into silence.

Turning his gaze away from the magnificent sight that greets many who cross the English Channel early in the morning, the young blond man rested his eyes upon his companion. He marvelled at the way the glow of the sunrise cast golden rays on her skin, making it look radiant, almost heavenly. And her eyes, her glorious blue eyes that already shone with excitement, flashed stars of gold as the sun caught them. Her hair seemed to be on fire as the day broke before them. She became a part of the amazing scene of beauty before him.

With the break of day came a swift breeze that rushed around the pair as they stood together at the bow of the ship. The young girl shivered as the cold became noticeable to both.

"Is this the so called English weather, we have heard so much about." She giggled as she rubbed her arms to keep warm, "Oh! I forgot I had my camera with me. I wanna take a picture of this."

"I have an idea." The young man took the camera from the girl and stopped a passing steward.

"Excuse me, I don't suppose you could take a picture of us, please?" he asked

"Certainly sir," replied the steward, taking the camera, "Stand together, lovely!"

The camera clicked a whirred, as the captured image flashed upon the small screen of the camera

"There you go sir." Came the clipped British accent of the steward

"Thanks." Said the young girl as the steward returned to his chores.

The pair continued to watch as cruise liner cut silently through the calm waters of the English Channel, the sun rose higher into the sky, bathing the world in its orange glow.

"Come on," said the young man, "we are nearly there now, lets go wake the others and get ready to come to port."

They walked arm in arm back towards their rooms, as their cruise liner began it's docking at the port of Dover.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter! This is more of a token introduction really. If there are any inconsistencies I do apologise, but it is 2am GMT, and I am burning the midnight oil in a major way!

Please feel free to post a review, I know that there is not much to review but there will be soon. I will respond to all of my reviewers! More chapters up as I finish them!
