Once upon at time, there was two kingdoms by the sea. Both the rulers had a single child. And they began to plan their children's bethrolal. Ever summer season, one of the children visits the other and they began a tense friendship.

On the summer when the children turn 18 and 20, the Princess had grown into a very beautiful young lady, and the Prince turn to a very handsome young man.

"Mother, Why do I have to visit Prince Killain?" Princess Emma asked.

"Because, it is what your father and I wanted for you." The Queen told her daughter.

"He is rude to me when he is with his friends." Princess Emma said. "I am not sure I even like him."

"Why do you say that?" The Queen asked.

"Because, last summer he was acting kind of weird. As if he doesn't know how to behave when he is around me." Princess Emma told her mother, as they packing for her trip.

"My darling daughter, you were changing into a fine young lady, and I am sure Prince Killain noticed it." The Queen said.

"But.."Princess Emma began.

"It has been arranged, and therefore will happen." The Queen said, as she locks her daughter's trunks. "Just have fun, my darling."

"The ships are ready." The King comes into the room, and sees his wife and daughter. He opens his hand to his daughter. She smiles and grasps her father's hand, and they hug. "Maybe this summer will be different."

"Maybe." Princess Emma said, "May I bring Elsa and Belle?" They were her ladies in waiting and her friends, and cousins.

"Yes you may. We want you to be comfortable and happy." The king said. Princess Emma smiled as she went into their rooms.

"Are you sure you know what you are doing?" The Queen asked her husband.

"Yes. King Midas and his Queen told me in a letter. After the visit, Prince Killain was moody and to himself. When the king asked his son what was the matter. Prince told him that he might be falling in love with Emma." The King said

"Might? There is not yes or no, dear husband." The Queen reply.

"I am thinking that the Prince still thinks of Emma as that young girl who bothered him alot." The King said with a chuckle.

Meanwhile, King Midas is with his son. "The Princess will becoming in a few days." Midas said.

"Yes, Father." Prince Killain said.

"Did you meant what you said last summer?" Midas asked.

"During this time apart. I do find myself wondering about her, How is she doing, and if she has any suitors during this time apart." Prince Killain said.

"She did have some, but she turn them down. It seems she is longing for you son." Midas said.

"Truly?" Prince Killian said.

"Truly." Midas said.

"Now, I want her to come soon." Prince said as he is looking out to sea.

"Do you miss being part of the navy?" Midas asked.

"Father, my place is with you and mother. True, I will always miss the sea." Prince said.

A couple days later. as Princess Emma gets ready for her trip. She is greeted by her kingdom's adviser, who has been working the dark arts. "Master Rumple. How may I help you?"

"I fear for you, Princess Emma. For the trip could be dangerous."

"I have traveled this trip many times. It will not fear me." Princess Emma said.

"But, your highest. There are people who want to harm you or even force you to do be with them." Rumple said.

"I will have guards, and my father will be traveling with me." Princess Emma said.

"I just want to keep you safe." Rumple said as he grab her hand and kissed it.

"Unhand me!" Princess Emma said. "I will find out what you are up to, Master Rumple and I will tell my father about it." She takes her skirts and began to walk away from him.

"I will be ready for that, Princess." Rumple said as he moves his hands and a puff of purple smoke circles him and he disappears.

On the ship, Princess Emma along with her ladies are playing a game.

"What do think of Master Rumple?" Princess Emma asked

"I think he is dangerous." Lady Elsa said.

"I think he is very handsome." Lady Belle said. "It is true." she said as the duo look at her.

"Well, I think he is up to something not good." Princess Emma said, "I heard that he is into the dark arts." she added

"That is just a rumor going around the castle, Emma." Lady Belle said.

"Some rumors can be true." Lady Elsa said. "What did he do?"

"He basically said he had a feeling that I would be endangered and then he tried to kiss my hand without my permission." Princess Emma said as a shiver when down her body.

"The creep." Lady Elsa said.

A knock was heard from the door. Princess Emma gave a nod to Lady Elsa, who got up and get the door.

"Yes?" Princess Emma asked.

"Your grace, we are almost to the bay and to the dock." The captain said.

"Then we have a couple of days journey to the Midas' castle." Princess Emma finished, "Have taken this journey all my life."

"I just want to let you know. Do you care for anything?" The captain asked.

"No. I am fine. Ladies?" She looks at Lady Elsa and Belle. who said no. "Thank you Captain. Make sure my Father is okay."

"As you wish, your grace." the Captain bows and exits the room.

"Now. that is a man." Lady Elsa said with a sigh.

"You have feelings for the Captain?" Princess Emma said.

"Yes! He is too perfect for words." Lady Elsa said as she goes to the window and watches him go up the stairs. "I wonder what it would be like if he kisses me."

"Elsa!" Lady Belle said with a shock, "A lady shouldn't mention things like that.

"Well, it is true...Have you forgotten last summer when Prince Killain was at the castle?"

"Yes. I said the same thing about him." Princess Emma said. "Now I have been dreaming about him. I just wonder if he is feeling the same about me." She added as she looks out the window towards the shore.
