Yay, I'm updating sooner! Coz I love all you guys and I just finished writing this chapter today.
"Oliver, do you really think that was necessary?" Lilly asked as she watched Jackson walk away.
"They're royalty, they can't come with us. It messes the whole hierarchy thing up." Oliver said. Lilly crossed her arms and looked at him. "What?"
"How does the princess coming with us on our voyage mess up the hierarchy? The only way for that to mess it up is if you…" Lilly trailed off, her eyes growing bigger. "Oh my word Oliver! You like her, you like Hannah, I mean Miley!"
"I don't!" Oliver said. Lilly rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, sure, whatever."
"Hello, I little help here?" Rico called from the boat that just docked near them. Lilly and Oliver helped them all out of the boat, turning to look at Rico.
"You're free to go." Lilly said.
"Aww, can't I go with you guys?" Rico asked.
"No, go find your mother or something." Dex said. Rico glared at him and walked away from their group.
"Let's head back to the ship and get ready to set sail." Oliver said and walked ahead of them.
"Hey Lilly, where are Hannah and Jackson?" Danny asked.
"They… uh, left us. They're going back to Oceania." Lilly said and then giggled.
"You're lying." Matt said.
"No I'm not." She giggled again.
"Lilly." Dex said.
"I'm sorry, but that's the truth!" Lilly said to them and then walked faster to walk next to Oliver, leaving the rest of them behind. "Oliver, they're asking about Hannah!"
"Then tell them the truth." Oliver said as he boarded his ship. "Now get this ship ready, I don't think I want to stay here anymore."
"Where do you want to go?" Lilly asked.
Oliver sighed. "Home, to Gaia."

"You think it's safe to go above deck?" Jackson asked. Miley hit on the back of his head.
"If we go up there, they will stick our butts into a rowing boat and send us back to port. So no, we don't go up at all."
"Then how do we know when it's safe to leave?" Jackson asked.
"I haven't figured that part out yet." Miley said and sat down on one of the crates. "But I don't care, right now I'm really angry at Oliver."
"But Miles, he did have a point. You are the princess." Jackson said.
"You're a future king and I don't see that happening yet. Jackson, maybe exploring the world is good for us, maybe we will finally learn where we belong, away from the castles and palaces. No more arranged marriages." Miley said. Jackson glared at her.
"Please, don't bring it up."
"See, you know how I feel about marrying Jake! You feel the same way about marrying-"
"Hannah!" Danny shouted and ran up to her. Miley's eyes widened in surprise, plan A wasn't working that well.
"D-Danny? What are you doing here?" Miley asked.
"Well, this is the kitchen and it is time for breakfast." Danny said, scratching his head. Little white flakes fell out of his hair and landed on Miley, who quickly jumped up and wiped them off her head.
"Oh yeah. It's morning?"
"Yeah and we're nearing Sabre Cove." Danny said. "No one has been able to survive passing through there, I have no idea what is going through the captain's mind."
"He's going to kill us! Oliver is going to kill all of us!" Miley shouted and spun on her heel to march up the stairs and give him a piece of her mind.
"Wait, what about hiding?" Jackson asked, stopping his sister.
"If we don't do anything, then we'll die. Rather get dumped into a rowing boat then die anyway." Miley said and then walked past Jackson, who sighed and followed her.
Miley stepped out into the sun, and looked around the ship for Oliver. He was standing next to Lilly near the captain's wheel and he had seen her come up.
"What are the two of you doing here?" He shouted at them. Miley glared at him and marched across the deck and up the stairs.
"Are you insane or something?" She asked.
"What, are you going to give me a lecture too?" He asked, looking at Lilly who was shaking her head at him.
"Yes, if that's what it takes to get you to give up this crazy idea!" Miley shouted.
"If I was you, I wouldn't be arguing with me. You're a stow away on my ship, I can kick you off this ship right now." Oliver said.
"But you won't do it because you know I won't survive. Face it Oliver, I'm staying on this ship whether you like it or not." Miley said.
Darn it, she's right! "Fine, but when we make port again, I'm taking you personally to the sheriff's place so they can make sure you get a save trip home." Oliver said and then turned back to the wheel. "Now stay here."
Miley watched as they neared the mountain known as Sabre Cove, the one place where it was dangerous for you to sail through. Sharp rocks stuck up from the water and the area to sail was so small, it was hard to actually see where they were.
"Donny, I'm gonna need you up in the crow's nest!" Oliver shouted. Donny nodded and climbed the rigging that took him up to the tallest part of the ship. "Ok, we're in."
Miley watched as they passed the side of the mountain and the space around the ship got smaller.
"Rock on starboard side!" Donny shouted. Oliver turned the ship to the port side to miss the rock. Miley then leaned again the railing, watching everyone stay on alert. Maybe they could get through this alive.
Lilly, however, wasn't too pleased with what was going on. She had a feeling something bad was going to happen, very soon. She looked over at Miley who was calm, of course she hadn't experienced some of the things she had.
There was a ripple in the water and Lilly turned around and looked down into the water. She saw two yellow eyes looking back at her, but no body. "Ahh!"
"What?" Miley asked, looking at Lilly. Lilly turned around and then looked at the crew who all seemed to be going into some kind of trance. "Lilly, what is happening?"
"I don't know!" Lilly said. She watched as Matt started walking towards the edge of the ship. Out of the water came a lady made out of water, with yellow eyes. "It's sirens!"
Lilly ran towards Matt and pulled him back by his shirt just as the siren was going to drag him under water. "Miley, get me some rope!"
Miley nodded and picked up the rope that was lying near Oliver's feet. She ran to Lilly, handing her one end. "We have to tie the crew up."
Lilly nodded and they ran around the guys on the deck, catching all of them in the rope. They tied them to the mast and then smiled at each other.
"That was easy." Miley said and then felt the ship hit something. Both turned to look at Oliver, who was busy following a siren towards the edge of the ship. "I'll get Oliver, you steer the ship."
Lilly ran towards the wheel and turned the ship to miss another rock that was coming into view. She looked at Miley who had grabbed Oliver by his shirt collar and dragged him back onto the ship.
"I'm coming my darling!" They heard someone shout and saw Donny jump from the crow's nest and towards the ocean. Lilly looked at Miley and then noticed Jackson wasn't tied up either.
"Miley, go save Donny!" Lilly shouted and let go of the wheel and dived for Oliver. She got him to his feet and put his slouched body on the wheel so it wouldn't go out of control. Lilly then looked at Miley who managed to get a rope around Donny and then pull him up and out of the water.
"Lilly! Look out!" Miley shouted as she grabbed hold of the edge of the ship as it dipped downwards when they reached a mini waterfall. Lilly felt herself fall forwards and into hit a siren. She then felt someone's arms wrap around her and kiss her. Lilly opened her eyes to see Jackson kissing her.
"Lilly, help me here!" She heard Miley shout. Lilly pushed Jackson away from her and tied him to the railing. She turned around and saw Miley struggling to keep Oliver away from a siren.
"I'm coming!" Lilly shouted and ran towards the wheel. Miley managed to tackle Oliver onto the floor and sit on him. Both then looked forwards and paled, up ahead was a bigger waterfall. "Hold on tight!"
The boat dipped again and Lilly managed to keep it hitting another rock. They felt the ship fall and then hit the water hard, one of the masts breaking. Lilly then steered the ship out of Sabre Cove and out of earshot from the siren's singing.
"Urgh, something is on my stomach." Oliver groaned and then opened his to see Miley. "Uh, what are you doing?"
"Sitting on you." She said and got off him. Oliver got off the deck and rubbed his head and looked around.
"What happened?"
"Sirens. We saved your life." Miley said and indicated her and Lilly.
"Ok then, thanks. But that doesn't mean I'm keeping you aboard." Oliver said. Miley just shrugged and then looked over at the rest of the crew.
"Why are we tied up?" Matt asked.
"And why am I hanging from my underwear and soaking wet?" Donny asked from above. Miley ran down and untied the rest of the crew, let Donny down and untied Jackson.
"What happened?" He asked, rubbing his head.
"Sirens. You also kissed Lilly." Miley said, grinning.
"Wh-what?" Jackson said, eyes going wide and looking at Lilly who was now arguing with Oliver. "Oh man."
"Don't worry, before that you were making out with a siren." Miley teased him. Jackson glared at her and walked towards Lilly and Oliver. Miley shook her head and followed.
"Oliver…" Lilly said.
"That's it, it's final." Oliver said and then turned around. "We're here."
"Where?" Miley asked, turning and looking at the land. It looked familiar, but she couldn't quiet place it.
"That is Gaia." Lilly said.
"Gaia?!" Miley and Jackson said together, looking at each other.
"What's wrong with that?" Oliver said.
"Oh nothing. Except for the fact I know the princess there who is a spoiled brat and thinks she's better then me!" Miley said.
"Yeah, same with Miley." Jackson said, looking really nervous.
"Hey, all the more reason to go there! She'll help you go back home." Oliver said. Miley glared at him.
"Didn't you hear what I said? I hate her!"
"Oh, yeah…" Oliver said. "Well, I'm not turning around."
"And I'm not getting off there!" Miley said stubbornly.
"You don't have to, I'll take you off myself." Oliver said.
"You wouldn't." Miley glared at him, crossing her arms. Oliver glared back.
"Oh yes I would."
And so, twenty minutes later when they docked in the harbour, everyone saw Miley/Hannah thrown over Oliver's shoulder; who was walking off the ship.
"Oliver! Put me down!" Miley screamed, hitting him on the back.
"Sorry, I can't hear you over the screaming." Oliver said, ignoring her request.
"Oliver, this isn't funny. I can walk by myself."
"Oh, but if I put you down, you'll just find another way to get on my ship, which I can't have since you have to go back home." Oliver said as he walked into the town. Miley sighed and stopped fighting Oliver. She looked at Lilly and Jackson who were walking behind them.
"What is so funny?" Miley asked.
"Nothing." They said, trying not to laugh, but failed. They burst out laughing and Miley glared at them. She turned her head and looked into a shop window and there she was. Mikayla, the annoying princess of Gaia, busy looking for yet another dress.
"A royal cart." Oliver said, placing Miley back on her feet.
"Thanks." She said sarcastically.
"You're welcome." Oliver said and shrugged. Miley rolled her eyes and turned to run away, but it was too late. Mikayla spotted them.
"Miley? Is that you?" She asked, putting on a fake smile and walking up to her. She scrunched up her nose when she saw what she was wearing. "Don't you look… nice?" She then looked up and saw Oliver. "Ooh, who's your friend?"
"No one, I don't even know him." Miley said, glaring at Oliver again.
"Then why is he holding onto your hand?" Mikayla asked. Miley and Oliver looked down and saw that they were holding hands. Miley quickly let go and took a step away from him, revealing Jackson and Lilly. Mikayla and Jackson's smiles quickly faded. "Jackson, you're here too."
"Yeah." Jackson said, looking everywhere but at Lilly, Miley and Mikayla. Lilly shot a questioning look at Miley who sighed.
"Uh, why don't we go back to my palace and have lunch there? Miley and I need to talk and catch up and…uhm, you too Jackson." Mikayla said and then looked at Oliver, giving him a wide smile. "Can you help me get into the cart?"
"Sure." Oliver said and followed Mikayla to the cart. Miley's anger towards Oliver deteriorated and was now focused on Mikayla.
"Oliver, please help me! I'm all defenceless and need a mans help!" Miley mocked Mikayla. "Please, she doesn't need help at all."
"Ooh, someone's jealous." Lilly said, smiling.
"No I'm not."
"Yeah, you are."
"I can't be if she's supposed to marry a prince." Miley said.
"Yeah, but she's still flirting with Oliver. And who is the prince that she has to marry?"
"Oh it's…" Miley trailed off at Jackson's shocked face. He shook his head and mouthed 'No'. "Some random prince from some country I don't even know about."
"Oh, cool." Lilly said and then got into the cart after Oliver. Miley turned to Jackson who looked really upset.
"Now you know how I feel. Are you going to tell Lilly?"
"Tell Lilly? Shouldn't you tell Oliver about Jake who is chasing you?" Jackson asked. Miley sighed.
"Fine, I won't tell if you don't tell."
"I don't think it's me you should be making this promise with." Jackson said and got into the cart. Miley followed as well and took the seat next to Jackson. Across from her sat Mikayla and Oliver.
"So Miley how is Jake?"
So, things aren't looking good for any of them. Anyways, I said adding Mikayla would help out with Moliver moments, also decided it will help with Lackson aswell. And yeah, I made it pretty obvious why Jackson isn't too thrilled about seeing Mikayla, all part of my genius plan!
I also want to ask you guys, if there is anything, anything at all, that you want to see in this story, please tell me! I have, a million different ideas for this story, but whatever you guys want to see, I'll add. Thanks guys!
