A/N: So this was just some random idea that I had when I was actually talking about something else. Like I said in the summary, if you don't like it, then don't read it. Here's a slightly better summary:

One day, Amelia and Delbert are walking and Amelia remembers a young woman that had once been her lover. Then, the woman shows up on Amelia's doorstep! In the end, who will Amelia choose ... Natalie or Delbert?

Chapter 1: Remembering

Mr. and Mrs. Doppler walked along the path that they strolled along everyday at this time … just before sunset. As they walked, they held hands and took in the beautiful scenery. Amelia still could not get over how beautiful Montressor could be. She remembered it being beautiful before, but now it seemed almost magical.

She wondered if it wasn't Montressor itself that had changed, but her. The last time she had been on Montressor (before her beloved Delbert), she had been with someone else. The name Natalie instantly popped into her mind. Oh Natalie, she thought. How long has it been? … Three years? No! It couldn't have been that long. But as much as Amelia would have loved to deny it, it had in fact been just about three years since she had seen Natalie … her Natalie.

Amelia was shaken out of her reverie when she felt a slight squeeze on her hand. She brought herself back to reality and heard Delbert say, "We're here, my love." She smiled at the comment as she sat on the hand-made, wooden, bench that Delbert had built for them before they had gotten married. He sat next to her and she snuggled up next to him, laying her head on his chest.

They were on what they liked to call their hill. It had a perfect view of the sunset and it was also where Delbert had proposed to her about a year ago. As they watched the sun set (just as they had every night since they had gotten married), Amelia murmured, "Montressor is so beautiful if you just give it a chance."

Delbert smirked at the simple comment made by the feared and highly respected Captain Amelia. "Yes, it really is. I'm surprised you never came here before you met me." Amelia perked her head up and she looked at her husband.

"Oh Delbert. You don't know how wrong you are, love." She smiled at the surprised look on his face and continued on without being asked. "I used to come to Montressor all the time. Every time I got back from a voyage, in fact." Delbert looked down at his wife and cocked his head. "You did?! How come you never told me about this before?"

Amelia sighed. "Guilt, I guess. You see, I used to spend my free time with a certain … friend. The last time I saw her was just before I left for Treasure Planet."

Delbert could see the guilt all over Amelia's face and questioned, "Why don't you go see her now? Nothing is stopping you." The infamous captain chuckled and said quietly, "No. I couldn't go back. She wouldn't understand."

"Wouldn't understand? What do you mean?" Delbert had no clue what had come over his beautiful Amelia. She looked as though she were about to cry. Before he could ask again, Amelia stood up.

"Come on, Delbert. I think it's time we went home." Amelia offered the doctor a hand and Delbert accepted it as he got up. He didn't press the matter any further for he knew that changing the subject was Amelia's way of telling him to drop it.

As the couple walked home, Delbert couldn't help but wonder why returning to this friend would be so difficult. Amelia strolled in a daze, seeing her beautiful Natalie and the smile that had once been reserved for her.

A/N: So, tell me what you think. Yes ... no? Review please!! This is only going to last for just a few chapters (nothing too extreme).

Oh! And about the whole three years thing ... that was just a guess. Three years was just the first number that came to mind. Sorry if that's somehow inaccurate
