Disclaimer: Sorry! For not Up dating sooner! I had tons of work, and I started another story with another authoress! This brings me to a huge plea! PLZ Read New Moon, and Stranger in a strange land. I'm not helping with stranger in a strange land, but I just have to say if u want to read a very original story not to mention read a different side to duo you should read this story! As for new moon read that as well, I think the first three chapters have turned out well!

The girl before her let a huge smile spread her face causing Rose to be on edge. Why did I just call her Dagger? She felt embarrassed as she looked at her feet, and she felt as if she had just insulted the girl.

"You don't remember me at all. Do you," smiled Caroline.

Rose looked up to see Caroline's aqua eyes twinkling. There was an uncanny aura about the girl in front of her. She seemed unfazed by the constant motion of the boat, and her body language gave the impression that she was once a sailor of the seven seas. The wind lightly blew past them causing their hair to sway. The girl's smile faded and her facial expression turned into a dark one.

"Out of all those sailors two survive," chuckled Caroline.

Rose couldn't help but cringe the menacing chuckle felt familiar, but she couldn't help but feel as the laugh was very familiar to her.

"Don't worry. I'm not an enemy if that's what your thinking; that would be extremely off road there," chuckled Caroline. She continued to laugh "By the way what do u remember?"

Rose gulped "I know I'm a pirate, and I just realized that about a half hour ago."

"And a pretty darn good pirate if you asked me. I know that your memories aren't up to date and everything. So, I'll tell you flat out who I am and what I know about you," chuckled Caroline.

Rose couldn't help but smile Caroline's laughter sounded like any sailor's laughter. She could tell that the girl in front of her was a very good natured person despite past actions.

"My real name is Caroline Wilmington. I was born into a rich family that lived in London. I was one out of three girls. I was the only one who hated the rich life and yearned for another. On my tenth birthday I snuck out to hear some old sailor stories down at the Blue Bird's Pub. When I got home there was nothing left. Not a single person alive. From that day on I was the richest orphan to ever live, but I could not touch a cent until I hit the age of twenty. I wandered around the streets of London, until I met up with someone who would change my life forever," spoke Caroline darkly.

She continued. "That person was you. I will never forget the day I signed up to join your crew. I had expected to see a well built gentleman like the sailors I had seen in the pubs, but I was completely wrong. I remember standing in line and the other sailors making fun of me because I was a girl and so small; not to mention frail looking. Then a girl the same age as me stood in front of everyone with an older sailor at her side. I will never forget your presence you were ten years old and you were adorned with effects galore. You made it clear that you want no slackers, and that anyone who ever mocked you would be shot on sight. We traveled all over the world causing havoc and by the time we reached the pirate port of Tortuga we were dripping in the blood of Oz soldiers. You were proclaimed as the strongest pirate captain's and the master of the sea. You were fearless, good natured, and strong; sometimes a bit daft. By the age of fifteen I became second mate, and our crew had become the most feared in all of the Galaxies," chuckled Caroline.

"But as time went on the solar system forgot about piracy and all its splendor, and Earth became the pirates spot for retirement. When I hit the age of twenty I decided it was time to retire, and being the great Captain you were you let me go. You ended heading to the solar system to conquer the seas there, but the ship fell apart in the atmosphere, and Sam and you are the only ones that survived. Sam is your first mate, not to mention best friend. I know that you probably are afraid of duo finding out, and I of course can help you there," smiled Caroline.

"Really," asked Rose it all sinking in?

"Of course, Captain Joselyn," smirked Caroline. "But sadly you don't realize you'll be braking someone's heart," crossed Caroline's mind.

"I will have Sam go get you he'll be posing as you're Uncle," smiled Caroline.

"So what's wrong, Duo? You haven't said a word," asked Quatre?

"Well, I think I like Rose a lot. But she's so lost enough as is and I don't want to make things awkward for the both of us," sighed Duo.

"I think if you told her she'd be flattered," smiled Quatre. "Your advice worked for me, so why not you," added Quatre.

"Your Right," smiled Duo.

His friends smiled they had never seen Duo be shy about his feeling towards a girl. Maybe Rose has changed him for the better.

"Well, work calls," sighed Heero.

"See you guys," smiled Duo. He stood next to Rose as the cruise ship took off.

Duo turned the ship home and Rose just lounged out on the beach chair. Duo slowly gathered up his courage and walked out to see an old man standing on the dock with Howard. The old man was wearing a tailored suit and a hat to match the suit. Duo was about to ask who he was when Rose jumped up and hugged the old man.

She didn't even turn to say goodbye she just followed the old guy to his car and got in.

"Who," asked Duo?

"That's Rose's Uncle. He spent half the day with me waiting for her," smiled Howard. His smile faded as he saw the look of sadness on Duo's face.

Not even a goodbye…………nothing…… just there to take care of her………….it's not like she cared about me anyway…….. Duo walked slowly up to his room. These thoughts were clouding his head as he went to bed.

Months went by with no word, and nothing not even a thank you card. Duo got his degree, but wasn't even excited for his achievements. He stopped talking to people who tried to make light of the Rose situation. He spent hours alone in his room wasting away on his bed looking up at the ceiling. People began to worry how long he'd last, but that was were they were wrong. He would wait forever if he had to. He'd wait for Rose to come back.

It was a serene night and Duo found himself passing the Scarlet Fox after a visit with Mrs. Crooks. He stopped to the sound of a commotion, and curiosity got the best of him and he went inside. The place was grubby and extremely dirty. Sailors in fights or passed out here and there. He sat himself in the back and took a mug of beer. He didn't touch it just stared at the gold liquid in front of him. That's when someone sat at his table.

"You lad," came the guy's voice.

"Yes," asked Duo? He looked up to see a giant. This guy was huge height wise and muscle wise.

"You like the ocean,' asked the guy?

"Have you ever heard of Joseyln," asked the Guy?

"No," replied Duo. This guy was starting to get on his nerves.

"Oh, well. My Captain said she was looking for a guy by the name of Duo Maxwell. Seeing as you don't know Joselyn it can't be you," sighed the guy.

"Well, that's weird my name's Duo Maxwell, but I don't know a Joselyn," laughed Duo. He shook his head and left the bar as quickly as he could.

He arrived home and slipped into bed. He pushed the thoughts of someone looking for him away, and tried to get some sleep. He closed his eyes, and was almost asleep when he heard his window open. He reached for his gun under his pillow, and waited. The person climbed onto his bed.

"Duo," came a familiar voice.

"Rose," yelled Duo. He tackled the figure.

"Your all right I came as soon as Caroline gave me the word about how you've been," explained Rose.

Duo focused on Rose's appearance she was armed to the teeth, and was wearing a long leather jacket. "Why didn't you say goodbye, or write," asked Duo?

"I didn't want you to get in trouble with some people. Duo I left because of my past I don't want you to get hurt….. but I realize now that my heart is always going to be here with you. I'm not happy on the seven seas like I use to be. My old self is dead. What I'm trying to say is that I love you," blurted out Rose.

"I love you too. I don't care about what your past life was all I care about is your with me," smiled Duo. He cupped her face in his and kissed her.

"You don't mind the fact that I'm Captain Joselyn Blackheart and I'm the most feared Pirate of them all," asked Rose.

"That was you looking for me," laughed Duo. "No as long as were together I'm fine with anything," smiled Duo.

"Ready for a new adventure lass," asked Duo in the best Pirate voice he could do?

"Aye, that I am," smiled Rose.

Duo pulled her close and they fell asleep with their arms around each other.
