The plot line for this story seems a little different than any other plot line, but I was reading a fanfiction with this same sort of style and I liked it a lot! And it also gave me the inspiration to write this too! So... I did! Warning: It may take a while to get Bella and Edward together, but you will just have to be patient. It will happen! So now, my dear friends, I give you Skull and Star Crossed! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: If I was Stephenie Meyer, do you really think I would be writing these fanfictions when I could be out there finishing Midnight Sun and possibly the rest of the series in Edward's POV?!?! (Translation-I do NOT own Twilight or anything in relation to it except this story itself)

Full summary: Bella is the captian, with a interesting and different past, of the nutorious ship, Breaking Dawn; with a crew of all men including her two best friends, Alice and Rosalie. Every man on this ship, besides the ever reliable Jasper and Emmett, are rude, obnoxious, cads, and now Bella starts to believe she will spend the rest of her life, on a ship full of disgusting and dirty men, alone. But when they attack another ship and take a man captive, the man is named Edward Cullen. A sort of instant attraction occurs for both people as he becomes one of Bella's closest friends. Will love form between the captian and this new crew member? Read and find out. Fluffy, maybe limey, action, adventure, no lemons! EXB, RXE, AXJ! It's better than it sounds!!! Really!!!

I woke up to the sound of water crashing against the side of the ship. I smelled the sea breeze and smiled. I sat up in my bed and looked out my window and saw the endless blue ocean. I sighed and thought about how much I loved the sea. It was so wide, so open. I watched some of the dolphins swim just under the surface, then WHOOSH! They pop right out of the water! I smiled and told myself I had to get ready and get to work.

I went to the trunk at the foot of my bed and grabbed my usual attire: Black pants, a white shirt, a long red vest, boots that go to the ends of the pants, and a belt styled sash (Pic on profile). It was sort of a men's style, but it was useful for what I do. And it was comfortable.

I was one of the only females on this ship, along with my two "partners in crime" and best friends, Alice and Rosalie.

Alice and Rosalie are two of the most beautiful women I had ever met. Alice, who I've known throughout my whole life, could be described as a pixie; with her short spiky black hair, and her tiny figure. She has an outstanding disposition, but when she wants to or needs to, she is also one of the most dangerous people on this ship. And her sense of style isn't something that can be rivaled. For as long as I can remember, she has loved fashion and makeup and accessories. Unfortunately, they are not all used on her and Rose, no no... unfortunately, I am also one of there favorite pastimes: Dress Up Bella... But despite all of her annoying triats, like her need to get me all dolled up even though it's just a waste, god, I love her to death. She is like a sister to me.

Rose... Rose was by far the most gorgoues woman ever. With her blond and sparkling blue eyes, there's no wonder why she has captured so much attention onto her. You would never guess by the way she looks that she is actually one of the kindest people you could find. But despite her horrible past (AN: All will be revealed later!!!), she is one of my best friends, and just like Alice, she can be as equally dangerous when provoked. Because her beauty is far more outstanding than the average woman, I feel so intimidated in her presence. Sometimes its very hard to look away. She is very much like Alice in some ways. Just like her, Rose has a magnificent sense of style. With their beautiful curves, they can even make a sack look good on them, though they would never go that far as to test that expirement.

So even though being one of the only females has its advantages, like me being much harsher and much louder than any man ever could be, it also had its disadvantages, considering the rest of the crew were males who most of the time wouldn't control where their eyes wandered. Well, except for two.

Jasper is the kindest man on this ship, but he's very outgoing when he want's to be. He has this strange abillity to change any mood in a room. When one of us gets upset, he knows just what to do to fix that. He is also there to save they day when one of the crew members goes overboard with the flirting. Sometimes, if they go too overboard, they litterally go overboard. With the help from Emmett of course.

Emmett is the largest and most threatening man on this ship, though the threatening part is as far off as you can get when he's around me, Rose, Alice, and Jasper. He and Emmett have known, and have been best friends with eachother their whole lives as pirates. Emmett was like my own personal safety blanket. He is the big brother I never had- He and Jasper both. There is a good supply of teasing me, and a good supply of taking care of me like a sister. It's all in good fun. When any one of us girls gets into trouble with any of the other jerks on this ship, he and Jasper go into all protective mode.

Jasper and Emmett. They were two of the most loyal and respectful members of the crew on this ship, and they were all around two of my closest friends, besides Alice and Rosalie. Though I would never get as close to the guys as the girls were.

Alice and Jasper. Emmett and Rose. There is no love stronger than pirate love and these two couples were by far the most in love of any couple I had ever seen. And not ljust lust; actual love. Jasper and Emmett, though were full of life and excitement and adventure, were the most respectful men on this ship. Their eyes never roamed too much and stopped at their chest, like most of the crew would do to me… before I slap them. These guys would look at a girls face when they talked to them. Not only did Jasper and Emmett treat Alice and Rosalie like pirates, they also treat them like women. Those two were the most gentlemanly pirates I had ever known.

I got finished getting dressed and took one last look out the window before walking to the coat rack and grabbing my long bandanna and black hat. I grabbed a piece of ribbon and tied my hair in a ponytail. I grabbed my cutlass satchel and put it on my back, sliding my two swords into it. I put on my bandanna and hat and walked out of my cabin.

I walked along the deck, passing up many of the crew.

"Mornin', ma'am!" They would yell to me. I would nod in return as I made it up to the quarter deck, where the wheel was.

"Mornin', Captain!" Someone yelled to me.

Yes, my name is Isabella Swan (though I told Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rose to call me Bella. Much more preferred to me than Isabella), I am the captain of the ship, Breaking Dawn, and I am one of the most famous, respected… and feared pirates' in the world.

Kinda short, I know. Well, kinda is a bit of an understatement... But this is just the prologue!! It will get longer! It may take a while considering this idea is so different that I actually have to think really hard about what I'm going to do so... If you have any ideas please put them in reviews!!! Yeah... so... The usual; flames will be used for roasting marshmallows and reviews are my brand of heroin!!!
