*Yay! Love at Sea

Chapter 2!*

^w^

Pearl sat aghast, 'She's alive! I can't believe it!'

"Now, what were you about to say?" Pearl snapped out of her daydream and turned her attention to Garnet, "What?"

"What were about to say?" Garnet smirked, "It was along the lines of 'you have some nerve.' You sort of stopped when I put you down." Pearl blushed, "Oh, I...I was going to say you have some nerve taking me. But, it was you! And I know you wouldn't kidnap me, that would just be absurd!" Garnet sat down in a chair in front of her, "Well, I'm not kidnapping you...well technically I am, but that's beside the point. Pearl, will you come with me?"

"Where?"

"Let me rephrase that; will you stay with me, and live as a pirate by my side?" Pearl's heart swelled with emotions, "I...Garnet...I'm betrothed...I can't."

"Yes, you can. Pearl, I came back for you. Wait...your betrothed?! To whom!"

"The prince of Jottinghan. My father had just told a few moons ago..." Garnet rubbed her temples, "Why didn't you stop him?!" Pearl felt angered, but she didn't know why, "Because I thought you were dead! It's my job as a princess to marry a prince, and rule the kingdom after my father passes.

"Well, I didn't make a 7 day trip to be told no." She stood up and went to the door, "So, you're coming anyways." Pearl stood as well, "What?!" But Garnet had slammed the door before Pearl could stop her. Pearl looked around a nice room with a bed, a big wooden desk (it seemed to be a study desk), a few book shelves, and many other things. 'This must be Captain's Quarters.' She sat back down in one of the wooden chairs next to a circular desk in the middle of the room, with a large map on it. 'I...want to stay with her...but, the prince could have be beheaded!' Pearl scolded herself for thinking about her own being, 'But, I...I lover her. I have to stay with her, I can't bear to lose her again!'

Pearl stood up and opened the cabin door, she noticed the ship was a decent size, but no crew to help. 'Does she do everything by herself?'

"I see you finally came out, princess." Pearl looked up towards Garnet, she was at the wheel. "Oh, yes. I decided I needed some fresh air..." Garnet remained emotionless, "Alright then." Was all she said, Pearl hated it when Garnet was like this as a child. Pearl walked up the stairs that lead lead to the port deck, and to where Garnet was. She stood beside Garnet and looked at the ocean, the blue waves seemed to continue forever. "You know, every time I look at the ocean, it reminds me of your eyes." Pearl looked up at Garnet, her face flushed with a bluish color. "T-thank you, Garnet." Garnet smiled, but was still refusing to meet the paler gem's gaze.

Pearl took a deep sigh, "Garnet...I've...I have missed you so much." Garnet finally looked at her, "I have as well. That's why I came back, I had to see you again." Pearl smiled, and hugged Garnet, "I'm so happy you came back!" Garnet gave in and hugged her back, it felt wonderful. When they finally pulled away from each other, Garnet gave her one last smile before returning her attention to the sea. Pearl curtsied and left to Captain's quarters. When Pearl entered she thought a minute, 'Hmm, I do wonder what time it is.' She pulled out her pocket watch, 'seven-thirty. I would be taking my bath right now.' She sighed, 'I wonder if Garnet has a gown I could barrow for tonight.'

Pearl pushed her thoughts aside and decided to busy herself with other things. After an hour, she looked out the small window and noticed that the sun was now beginning to set. Pearl sat back down at the rounded table until Garnet entered the room. "I have the ship pulled to a halt and the anchor has been dropped." Pearl just smiled, "Okay. Oh, Garnet, I was wondering if you had an extra gown I could barrow for tonight. And where shall I sleep? I don't really know where the Crew's quarters are."

"I do have a night gown for you. I bought it on the way to Hyline. Now, about where you shall sleep, you will accompany this room as well." Garnet smiled, "I guess that's one favor I can pay back, huh?"

Memories flashed through Pearl's thoughts, she smiled and replied, "Yes, I do believe so." Pearl's stomach growled lightly, Garnet chuckled, "Hungry are we?" Pearl blushed and nodded, "Yes, a tad bit." Garnet moved the map off the table, and left. When she came back, she had three platters, one had fruits, the second had two wine glasses and a bottle of champagne, and the third had a pork roasted to perfection. Garnet sat the platter's down in front of the paler girl, "There you go, my dear." Pearl's stomach grumbled again, "It looks amazing!" Garnet smiled and took a seat across from Pearl, "Let us dig in." Pearl got a good serving of fruits and the pork, Garnet stood again, "I had almost forgot. Champagne, my dear?" She popped the cork off the champagne, and poured some into Pearl's glass.

After dinner, Pearl undressed behind a screen dresser, she hung her daytime attire on top of one of the panels and slid of the night gown. It wasn't silk (unlike like the ones she had grown up too), yet if was very comfortable, but a little short for her liking. Okay, a lot short for her liking. "Um, Garnet, I hope you don't mind me asking but; where did you buy this night gown?" It was a few inches above her knee, this was something she was far from used too. "Why do you ask?" Pearl came out from the screen dresser, pulling the end of the gown downward. "Let me see it without you pulling it down." Pearl stood up straight, blushing furiously.

"Hmm, I do guess it was a little wrong to buy that from a prostitute."

"You bought it from a prostitute?!" Garnet chuckled, "It was cheap, alright? I'm a little low on bread and honey right now." Pearl continued to blush, and mumbled something under her breath, Garnet questioned, "What was that?" Pearl mumbled again but a little louder, enough for Garnet to catch it, "I would rather go naked..."

"I'm more than fine with that." Garnet winked at her and started to make her way towards the screen dresser. Pearl smiled, 'At least she opening up more.' She could still feel the hotness in her cheeks, 'Why can she make me blush like? Even the prince can't make me blush this much and I accidentally saw him...nude...'

Pearl shook her head, and sat down on the freshly made bed. When Garnet came back out, she had her white poet shirt just swaying with her body movements. And it seemed as though she had no pants on, but she was wearing underwear. Pearl had to admit, Garnet did looked really beautiful, her loose, curly back hair was finally free from her Monmouth cap. Her dark skin complimented with the whiteness of her shirt, Pearl caught herself staring, she quickly turned her head away from Garnet. Trying her hardest not to blush, she looked back and said, "A-are you ready for b-bed now?" She felt ignorant for stuttering. Garnet pulled out the covers, and laid down. She tapped the spot next to her, Pearl laid down.

"Goodnight, my dear princess." Garnet rolled away, Pearl sighed, "Goodnight, my dear pirate." Although Pearl didn't see it, Garnet rolled her eyes. A few minutes passed, but Pearl just couldn't get comfortable. Garnet knew this from the way she stirred, the darker gem finally rolled back around and held the small girl. Pearl stopped, feeling Garnet's warmth against her backside, she turned around to face Garnet. When she met Garnet's eyes, Garnet kissed her gem. The beautiful white gem began to glow.

"I'll take that as you liked that." Pearl nodded, she gave in, and nuzzled her face into Garnet's neck. Pearl felt comfortable at last, soon drifting off to sleep...

"Goodnight, my sweet princess."
