A/N- So here's the second chapter. It sets up the story and our favorite couple is in it. Please review when you're done reading! If you didn't review on the first chapter (which I understand) you should review on this one. Plus the more reviews I get the faster I update.

Same disclaimers…


At the Castle of Ceinlys

"Serenity, get up! It is too late for you to be asleep. You should be awake the same time that your kingdom wakes up!" Queen Selene said as she tried to get her daughter out of bed.

"But mother, the sun has yet to come out." The princess said from under the blankets.

"It does not matter. The kingdom is awake and getting ready for Prince Diamond to arrive."

"Why is he coming? Can I not just avoid this confrontation all together?" The princess asked.

"Of course not! There will be a ball tonight in honor of his visit. You will attend and you will be ready for when he arrives." The queen ordered.

"Yes mother. Can you please call Molly in so I can get ready?" Princess Serenity asked as she got up and stretched.

"She is already drawing you a bath. Now hurry, Prince Diamond could be here any minute!"

"Mother I'm moving aren't I? That is an accomplishment."

"For you, it is." Queen Selene said as she shook her head. "I will be with your father in the dinning hall. You are to join us when you are ready."

"Of course Mother." The princess said as she walked into her bathroom. Her handmaiden, Molly, was waiting for her and had already drawn a bath for her.

oOoOoOo

At See aboard TheSea Cobra

"Captain Darien, we will be arriving at Port Triste soon." A crew man announced. "The look out has already spotted the port."

"We will dock and get the needed supplies. Make sure to tell everyone that they are to be back her in two nights." Darien said

"Yes Sir." The crew man nodded and left. The captain just kept watching the waves hit his ship. He had spent most of his youth saving enough money to buy his own ship. When he finally did he found a crew and left home never to return.

oOoOoOo

Back at the Castle…

"Serenity, it is nice of you to join us." Serenity's father, Seamus, said as Serenity walked into the dinning room and took a seat.

"Sorry father, but I accidentally slept in. Thank you mother for waking me up." Serenity said like she had been taught for 16 years.

"Now Serenity, you must attend the full ball and not leave after making an appearance. There is an announcement I want you to hear."

"Could you not tell me now? You know how much I hate balls. Too many men trying to get my attention in the grossest of ways." Serenity said as she looked at her breakfast.

"Do not worry, no one dares to hurt you while you are within these walls." Seamus said with a smile. "Anyways, when Diamond gets here I want you to keep him company today until you need to get ready. If I remember correctly, the two of you have always been close."

"Real close I'll say. Every minute is trying to get me to kiss him…" Serenity thought as she nodded.

About ten minutes later the sound of horns echoed through the castle alerting everyone that Prince Diamond had arrived. King Seamus, Queen Serene, and Princess Serenity all waited in the main throne room for their guest. Serenity sat next to her mother trying as hard as she could to hide her boredom.

"Your Highnesses, Prince Diamond of the Kingdom Derfail!" Someone announced. Serenity sat up a little straighter so it looked like she was the well behaved princess she was taught to act like.

"Your highnesses, thank you for inviting me to your kingdom. Father said you had some things to discuss?" Diamond said as be bowed to show his respect.

"Yes, but all shall be discussed tonight after the ball. For now, why don't you and Serenity enjoy yourselves and go talk?" King Seamus suggested.

"That sounds wonderful your highness." Diamond said as he bowed again. Serenity got up and walked down to greet Diamond. "Princess" He murmured as he kissed the back of Serenity's hand.

"Diamond, it is nice to see you again." Serenity said as she gave a small bow. "Shall we go to the gardens?" Serenity asked. Diamond simply nodded, took Serenity's hand, and allowed her to lead him to the gardens.

"When will you give me a kiss?" Diamond asked when they got far enough into the gardens to have some privacy.

"When we are engaged, which will hopefully be never." Serenity said.

"O come on dear Princess, you need to loosen up. Your parents hold you up in here without any contact with the male kind, am I correct?" Diamond asked.

"Actually, you are wrong. My parents allow me outside of the castle if I wish to go riding. And when I go riding my friend Andrew tends to come with me. We've always been close." Serenity said as she looked at some of the roses. She knew that the fact she is friends with another guy would get Diamond mad.

"So it seems I was wrong." Diamond finally admitted.

"Excuse me Prince Diamond, but I need to go get ready for the ball tonight. I will see you then." Serenity said as she walked back to the castle, leaving Diamond in the gardens.

oOoOoOo

On the Sea Cobra

"Darien, it seems that we might actually have some fun while we are here." Malachite, Darien's closest friend said as he walked up behind Darien.

"Why is that?" Darien asked.

"It seems our favorite Prince is here in hopes of marrying Princess Serenity." Malachite said.

"Then maybe we will have fun." Darien said with a rare smile. He turned to the crew who were getting ready to leave. "Change of plans. I want everyone back on deck by tomorrow afternoon. We have something to do after that. We will leave when we are done with this new… plan." Darien announced. Some of the men were excited with the possibility of plundering one of the nearby wealthy towns while others just wanted more time in Triste.

"You all can go and have some fun." Darien said as he turned back to Malachite. "Let's go to the bar and getting something to drink. We'll discuss our plans after that."

"Alright, should I get Jed?"

"No, I think he is seeing that fiery temptress, what was her name?"

"I believe it was Rei." Malachite answered. Most of the crew was already in the city by the time that Darien and Malachite left the Sea Cobra.

When Darien and Malachite reached the bar they found an empty table that was somewhat private. Then again, they didn't need that much privacy because people got so drunk that they barely cared.

"How do we want to do this?"

"I think we have some fun and plunder the village next to Triste. It's small, but wealthy. We should attack when Diamond heads home. Can you find out when that is?"

"I should be able to. Most of his servants come here to have some fun. I can get them drunk enough to get some information."

"Alright, when he is by that village we attack by see and give our friend a little visit. Maybe he'll have the Princess with him so we can get stuff from her too."

"This should be the plunder of a lifetime."

"Not only a plunder, but what will King Seamus think when he lets his daughter leave with her soon to be fiancé and they get plundered by pirates?"

"So we can end a powerful relationship between two of the biggest countries from merging?" Malachite said with a gleam in his eye.

"Correct, let's have some fun tonight. Remember to get that information." Darien said. He wanted to find something to do to kill the boredom that flamed within him while he was on dry land.

"Of course, see you on the deck tomorrow." Malachite said with a smile as he got up and left the bar. Darien smiled knowing he was off to find his mistress Mina.


A/N-

Alright, there's the first actual chapter. Promised you I would have it up pretty fast. I'm not sure how fast I'm going to get the next chapter up. I have a Lord of the Rings story I'm working on, I'm going to start a story for Heartland and have other Sailor Moon stories. I promise to update as soon as possible because so far I like this one the best.
