A/N- Yes I know it took me forever to update. I'm sorry, but finals are next week and we're having a bunch of study things and end of the year projects going on so I've been going crazy. Anyways, thanks for the reviews and hope you enjoy this chapter!

BlAcKfIrE889- yes part of the inspiration does come from POTC, but it isn't the same thing still. It's just the pirate theme and some of the language. I think there's a little bit more in this chapter. I love POTC so there is a reason there's some stuff in here…

Ffgirlmoonie- Hope it wasn't too long of a wait! Thanks for the review.

cosmoscrystal96- Like the new name and I'll check out the new story when I get a chance. Thanks for keeping up with the story for so long!

LynGreenTea- Wrote more, just not all that soon… sorry.

VcChick- There's a close call, but you'll see how they get out of it. I'd never want something bad to happen to them! Thanks for the review!

madmoiselle-goddess-bunny- Thank you! Wow, now I feel special.

HeadGoddessOfSarcasm- Updated and hope you like it. There's more to come including more drama. Plus now most of the characters are back together.

Candysis- I'm updating. Do I get another yippee?

RuuD BoY- Sorry, but not much action here either. The story is winding down so there isn't going to be as much action in the coming chapters. Maybe one more chapter full of action and at the most two.

Moon Titan- Lita has a totally different side to her in my story and I think it needed some comic relief as well. Glad you liked it.

eliza-morgan22- Thank you and the drama at the castle begins…

serenity of serena- I will be keeping up the good work all the way till the end. Thanks for the review.

Dertupio- I already had an idea, but yours is somewhat in there. There is some recognition going on, but most will be in the next chapter. He gets to keep his two lives secret for one more chapter.

Sailorceb- updated!


"Serenity! I can see Ceinlys!" Amy called through Serenity's door before going to get Lita. Serenity rushed out of the room and to the front of the deck to watch the city come closer and closer. Soon Lita and Amy were at Serenity's side closely followed by Rei and Mina.

"This is where you grew up?" Rei asked.

"It's amazing! It's so clean and pretty and…" Mina started to drone on about the city that she had yet to visit. "Hey, what kind of shopping is there?"

"Only the best. We'll go at some point. We have a chocolate store that is so heavenly! We'll be visiting their quite often." Serenity said with a smile.

"Hey Serenity, there's another ship anchored in the harbor that doesn't have your flag on it. Where is it from?" Rei asked. Serenity's eyes followed to where Rei was pointing to see a ship with Aderyn flag on it. The flag had a large eagle flying with a snake in it's claws.

"O um, that's the Aderyn flag." Serenity said.

"Why would they be here?" Amy asked Serenity, but she only got a shrug in response.

"O, I hope King Damien and Queen Terra are here! You guy will love them. They're so nice to everyone!" Lita said with a big smile. Serenity smiled at the thought of seeing her parent's friends, but her smile soon fell and her eyes widened.

'Darien' She though before running up to the top deck. Darien was talking in a corner with his friends and had yet to see Serenity. Before Serenity could get his attention Michael stops her.

"Michael, what are you doing? I need to talk to Darien."

"We need to talk first."

"About what?" Serenity huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.

"I know why aren't scared to love Darien." Michael said suddenly. Serenity opened her mouth to make a retort, but Michael continued. "He's Endymion isn't he? Did Princey decide that he wanted a life? He left you to become a pirate!"

""Shut up Michael! Endymion didn't want to leave! It was all Diamond's fault. Diamond sabotaged Endymion's group tortured him! Endy lost his memory so Diamond got rid of him and sent him to Triste. Malachite found him in a gutter and taught him how to become a pirate. You should know the rest. Look, It's been hard on him because he's just started remember small things, but he has years to remember still! Maybe you shouldn't question the person who could have killed you, but let you live and join their crew!" Serenity said. Michael was stunned and his mouth was open I astonishment.

"Is everything alright over here?" Darien asked.

"It's fine. Michael just needed some help clearing things up." Serenity said.

"Alright, you two need to get ready for docking soon." Darien said. Michael bowed his head slightly before leaving to get ready. "You should get ready too." Darien looked down at Serenity. Darien turned around to continue his conversation, but was stopped by a small arm on his arm.

"We need to talk, now." Serenity said with pleading eyes. Darien nodded before going over to the group to excuse himself and then leading Serenity to their room.

"What were you and Michael talking about?" Darien asked when they entered the room. He went over to his desk and sat down in his chair before pulling Serenity onto his lap.

"He knows who you are and decided to lecture me until I told him what really happened." Serenity explained as she played with Darien's hand.

"Why would he lecture you?"

"He, if… if Diamond hadn't made the marriage proposal I would have been married to him." Serenity whispered.

"So in other words he's jealous and mad because he has no chance."

"Pretty much, but he really never had a chance."

"Alright, so what did you want to talk about?" Darien asked.

"Your parents are here." Serena splurted out.

"What?"

"Ya, just warning you cause our secret's going to come out soon."

"Maybe they won't recognize me."

"Endy, they're your parents! If course they're going to recognize you!"

"Well, I should have known it would come out soon. C'mon, let's see how long we can drag this on." Darien said getting up. He kissed Serenity before leaving his room to watch everyone work. Serenity soon left as well to rejoin the girls at the front of the ship.

oOoOoOo

"Princess, there are carriages ready for you." Charley said when Serenity walked off Darien's ship along with Darien and the rest of their entourage.

"Thank you, how many are there?" Serenity asked while walking up to Charley and the rest of the navy which was ready to fight the pirates when given the command.

"There are two. One for you, Lita, Amy, and the other two women. Then there is another for the pirates. There will be an escort and your parents do not want you riding with the pirates." Charley said.

"Thank you Charley, see you around!" Serenity gave Charley a big smile before she led the group to where two carriages awaited them. "We'll be at the castle soon. The girls in the first carriage and the guys in the second." Serenity explained. Everyone went into their assigned carriages and waited for the group to leave.

(Girl's Carriage)

"So we get to go shopping soon right? Are there jewelers? I want a yellow dress." Mina started rambling once more about going shopping.

"Mina, shut up!" Rei said. "So are we meeting your parents right away or are we doing something else?"

"We'll probably see my parents first then we'll get everyone rooms. Darien and Zoicite will have their own room while you three (Serenity points to Rei, Mina, and Lita) get rooms with your husbands."

"But your parents know I'm not married." Lita said. "Plus they're going to be looking for a ring!"

"You can tell them who Nephrite is. Your mom probably told them something or they heard the story from another maid. As for the rings, here." Serenity opened her hand to show three rings.

Where did you get those?" Rei asked picking up a gold ring with a ruby in the middle.

"I sort of raided the ship's treasury." Serenity said with a smile.

"They're so pretty!" How come Mal never said anything?" Mina asked picking up a silver ring with a yellow canary diamond in the middle.

"I don't know. Maybe they were waiting till we got to the cove to show us." Amy said.

"Ok." Mina quickly dismissed the question as she admired the ring on her finger. While everyone else was talking Lita was playing with her necklace as she looked at the last ring in Serenity's hand.

"Lita, aren't you going to take it?" Serenity asked.

"O, mhm." Lita nodded her head and picked up the silver ring with the emerald surrounded by small white diamonds.

(Guy's Carriage)

"So are we ready for this?" Malachite asked once the carriages had started moving.

"I hope so, otherwise we're going to be getting some time behind bars." Darien answered.

"Alright, so we meet her parents, pick up a couple pockets full of gold and leave right?" Jadeite asked.

"We might be staying longer. I don't know, but I left Christopher in charge of the ship and told him to wait farther out. The night before we leave, we light torches on the dock. The next morning we'll leave and be on the open sea in no time." Darien explained.

"With treasure?" Jadeite asked.

"With treasure." Darien answered with a smile.

"I want a crown." Jadeite blurted out.

"We figured as much." Everyone said as they started laughing. The carriage grew quite again before Nephrite broke the silence.

"I want a jade encrusted dagger or sword… or at least a nicer weapon."

"I want one of those big hats with the feathers." Malachite said with a smile.

"What about you Zoi? You want something?" Darien asked. Zoicite just shrugged and kept looking out the window.

"O come on man! You should at least want a book. Like that philosophy book you have or something." Jadeite exclaimed.

"I'll get something, don't worry." Zoicite said putting an end to Jadeite's ramblings.

"What ever you say." Nephrite said patting Zoicite's shoulder.

oOoOoOo

Just like Serena said, the trip to Ceinlys Castle from the docks didn't take long at all. When they reached the castle it became blatantly obvious that security had been increased.

Serenity stepped out of the carriage first followed by the rest of the girls. Serenity had barely gotten two steps before she was engulfed in a hug.

"My dear baby, I'm so happy to see you again and safe!" Queen Selene said as she gave her daughter a hug.

"Serenity." Seamus said as he hugged his daughter after she was free from her mother's grasp.

"Dad, mom, it's good to see you too." Serenity said. "Where's Lord Alec?"

"On his way, he was in a far wing seeing to some things. Amy, you don't have to worry, he'll be here soon. Ah Lita, there you are… Lita, my dear, is that a ring?" Serenity asked.

"Yes it is your highness." Lita said.

"Lita got married!" Serenity said with a smile.

"You what?" Selene looked at the tall woman next to her daughter.

"Did you hear about Nephrite? Lita's former love from before she worked here?" Serenity asked. Her mother nodded still looking at Lita and then to Serenity. "Well, we met him, they fell back in love and then got married."

"He's one of the pirates isn't he." Seamus asked.

"He is." Lita said.

Before their conversation could go on yelling from behind the group made them turn towards the other carriage. Darien and the others were trying to get through, but the guards were keeping them up against the carriage with swords pointed at their necks.

"Put your swords down now!" Serenity yelled.

"Serenity! What are you doing?" Seamus asked.

"Making sure no one gets hurt." Serenity said. "Did you not hear me? I said put your swords down NOW!" The men looked from their small princess to her father and back and forth trying to figure out what to do.

"Put your swords down." Seamus said. The men agreed and put down their weapons, but were ready to stop the pirates at any point.

"Daddy, this is Darien, Malachite, Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoicite." Serenity introduced each man.

"These are the pirates that you have been with?" Seamus asked as he studied each man.

"Yes."

"Guards, arrest them." Seamus ordered.

"WHAT?" Serenity yelled and ran to Darien were he wrapped her in his arms and she locked her arms around his neck. Lita and Amy gasped as the soldiers closed in on the group, Serenity included.

"Put down your swords! Heaven sakes put down your swords!" Seamus ordered as he walked closer to the group. "Serenity, what are you doing?"

"Dad, I don't know what Seiya has told you about these men, but they are not to be harmed or arrested." Serenity said.

"What? How did you know Lord Seiya was here?"

"On the way here I talked to Michael and he told me about Seiya being here and what he was telling you. He lies!" Serenity shouted.

"Come inside, you're causing an unwanted scene." Selene said. "We'll go to the throne room where we can discuss this like the adults we are and Lord Seiya will be there as well."

The guys rejoined the girls and the group walked into the castle together. Everyone, including Amy and Zoicite, held hands causing gasps to come from the crowd.

"Lord Taiki, where are your brothers?" Seamus asked when they walked into the empty throne room.

"They're in their rooms." Taiki said. "Would you like for me to go get them?"

"No, that's what Michelle is for. Michelle, please go get Lord Seiya and Yaten please. O, and please get Queen Terra and King Damien as well." Selene said.

"Yes your majesty." Michelle said before she rushed off to do as she was told.

"Ok, now, Serena has already stated the pirate's name." Seamus said as he sat in his throne. "What are your names?" Seamus looked at Rei and Mina.

"My name is Rei my lord."

"My name is Mina your highness." Both girls bowed to Seamus and Selene/

"And these are your friends Serenity?" Selene asked.

"Yes mother."

"Alright, well we need to go get rooms ready for them. How many do we need, just two right?" Selene asked.

"Mother, everyone here is my friend. Plus Mina is married to Malachite, Rei is married to Jadeite, and Lita is married to Nephrite." Serenity explained.

"So five rooms… wait. Lita is married? When?"

"Mother, you remember hearing about Lita's past and the young man she was be courted by? Well the young man is Nephrite and they've found each other again and they got married when we gone." Serenity explained. She pulled Lita's hand up and showed her mother the right. Mina and Rei followed suit by showing their rings to Selene as well.

"Alright, well what is the story with Captain Darien and Zoicite?" Seamus asked. "Though I must say Darien looks like-"

"Endymion!"
