The day when Alex was to meet Darla, his intended, came and Alex was less than excited. His grandfather came booming in right before dinner yelling that they all had to get ready. He made sure that Alex looked presentable. His hair tied back in a ponytail, a bow placed neatly at the back, his best, most official clothes on. He looked in the mirror and cringed, he looked like a British Official, but without the wig. Angeline would have laughed her head off. He walked down the stairs and found his father dressed in the same fashion. Will looked at his son and grimaced, Alex did the same. He stood next to his father waiting for his mother.

"What's taking her so long?" the Governor asked anxiously.

She walked down the stairwell in a beautiful dress. It was a deep green that showed off her eyes, her hair was done in a beautiful bun. Will's eyes lit up as she descended down the stairs and her eyes seemed only focused on him. Alex looked at his parents and promised himself that he wouldn't marry anyone unless they loved each other as much as his parents loved each other. She walked up to Will and they linked arms.

"My, do you two look handsome!" She said to both Will and Alex. Alex rolled his eyes.

"You look beautiful, Mrs. Turner." Will said loving how it sounded to call her Mrs. Turner.

"Too bad I can't breathe." She whispered to him. Will chuckled.

"Let's go! Come on you two off to the Darling House to meet the future Mrs. Turner." The Governor said joyfully.

Alex's face visible paled when he said the future Mrs. Turner, "Grandfather, what if I don't like her?"

"You will, she so beautiful that men my age are fawning over her!" He exclaimed joyously.

"Beauty isn't everything." Alex said and the governor laughed his comment away.

They arrived at the house, which was a stunning mansion. The butler ushered them in and as Alex stood in the foyer he looked around. On one wall was a large painting of Commodore Norrington. Alex sneered at this picture and walked closer to it. He glanced at the sides and noticed hinges on the painting as if it would open to reveal a room. He walked closer when the new Commodore, Commodore Darlington, distracted him by introducing himself. His daughter, as Darla walked down the stairs a moment later. She was beautiful, Alex had to admit, but she didn't light up the room like Angeline did. Her blond hair was tied in a ponytail, curls flowed from the blue bow that tied her hair back and two loose curls lined her face, she smiled her blue eyes lighting up. The dress she was wearing was a dark blue accenting her eyes and revealing quite an eyeful of her chest.

"Oh! Father you must tell me who this handsome gentlemen is!" She said in a high-pitched voice looking at Alex. He rolled his eye inwardly.

"This is Alexander Turner, and his parents Elizabeth and William Turner. And of course you know Governor Swann." Commodore Darling said introducing each of them.

"Charmed, I'm sure." She said holding out her hand to Alex. He looked at his father as if saying, "do I have to" he nodded so Alex kissed her hand quickly.

"Darla, why don't you show them to the dining room." She nodded smiling through her pearly white teeth.

"This way, Alexander." She said putting all her attention on Alex. He cringed.

They sat down to eat. Alex sat across from Darla and next to his mother. Darla's mother looked like Darla only older, her name was Loretta. Elizabeth and Loretta chatted, as did the three older men. Darla looked at Alex and smiled.

"I saw when you saved that atrocious pirate. It was remarkable." She said smiling.

"Thanks." Alex said ignoring her pirate comment and taking a bite of the fillet mignon.

"How much did they pay you?" She said cutting an almost microscopic piece of it and sticking it in her mouth.

"They didn't pay me anything." Alex said truthfully.

"Then why did you do it?" She asked.

"Because I loved, love her." Alex said cherishing the look on Darla's face.

She started laughing obnoxiously, "You are too funny Alexander."

His grandfather gave him a look from across the table. The rest of the meal was spent with little talking. Actually, with little of him talking, Darla however, talked incessantly. She talked of her many dresses, how much they cost and the like, and of the gossip that was going around in Port Royal. When dessert came, Alex was almost glad when he saw Commodore Richard stand to make a toast, almost.

"I want to make a toast to Alexander and Darla, may they find love in each other and make lovely children." Alex's face went pale and he almost choked on his drink.

The Governor stood, "I want to make a toast to my grandson, may he do great things as governor and may he have a powerful woman at his side." Alex cringed.

Will stood, "I'd like to make a toast to my son. May he make good decisions through life and always follow his heart." Alex knew his father's toast didn't allude to anything involving Darla, which was rather comforting to him.

Darla smiled from across the table and ran her foot up along Alex's leg. Alex moved his feet as far as he could from hers. When the ice cream came for dessert, she stuck the spoon in her mouth in a very sexual manner. He looked up and pretended that the ceiling was very interesting. By the end of dinner Alex had decided that he would rather marry a monkey then marry Darla. At least the monkey could make him laugh.

The governor stood to leave and Will, Elizabeth, and Alex followed. Darla clung to Alex's sleeve. She smiled as he tried to turn away from her and forced him to face her. She then tucked at stray piece of hair behind his ear, "I will see you soon, my love." She whispered to him smiling revealing pieces of her dinner that had stuck in her teeth. Alex almost gagged.

"Uh, yeah, see you soon, Ms. Darling." Alex said turning to leave. The Governor cleared his throat and but his hand to his mouth gesturing for Alex to kiss her hand. Alex ignored the gesture and continued to walk to the door.

"Oh! Alexander you can call me Darla." She said giggling obnoxiously.

Alex nodded and as his parents and grandfather kept talking he went outside praying to God that Darla didn't follow and luckily for him she didn't. "Probably so her dress won't get dirty." He walked around her front lawn before starting to walk to his house, which wasn't to far away. He trudged along the cobblestone path, kicking a rock as he went. He hardly noticed Joey when he walked up to him.

"HIYA ALEX!" Joey yelled.

Alex jumped startled and Joey giggled, "Hey Joey."

"What's wrong now?" Joey said noting Alex's somber mood.

"My grandfather wants me to marry this proper twit, Darla Darling, and I don't want to... at all."

"I knows her, she ain't very nice." Joey said trying to keep up with Alex.

"How do you know her?" Alex questioned Joey.

"Wells, I was jumpin' tru the puddles this mornin' and she was comin' but I didn't see 'er so I kept jumpin' 'n' got mud on her dress. She turned bright red and started yellin' at me." Joey said emphasizing his jumping by jumping up and down.

Alex laughed, "I can imagine that."

"Ya know what ya should do ta get your granddaddy off your back?" Joey said as the two stopped in front of the Turner house and sat on the outside gate.

"What?" Alex said curious because Joey always came up with the strangest ideas.

"Well, me daddy once told me about this girl who found her prince at a ball he was hostin' cause if he didn't his dad would hafta pick for 'im."

"Cinderella?" Alex said cocking an eyebrow.

"Thas' the one!" Joey said smiling.

"It's a good idea. I'll ask my grandfather." Alex said mulling over the idea.

"Course it's a good idea! I thought it up! Kinda... But ya gotta invite me ta the ball!" Joey said excitedly.

"I will, I promise."

"Cross yer heart." Joey said crossing his heart.

"Hope to die." Alex said smiling.

"Stick a needle in your eye." They both said smiling and mimicking sticking a needle in their eye. The two laughed together.

"Alex?" Joey said when they had calmed down.

"Yes?"

"You're the bestest big brother, I never had." He said smiling happily.

Alex laughed and tousled his hair, smiling.
