Present Day...

At Desembarcar castle...

A young man with fair skin and brown chestnut hair wearing a white tunic with brown tights came brusting through the throne room door.

He came and bowed to King Enrique and Queen Maria.

King Enrique was a handsome man who wear the finest silks and clothing in all of Desembarcar. His dark brown hair framed his tan face perfectly, and a goatee to match. His peircing green eyes could make any lady go weak. His body was that of a fit statue and had muscle that framed every clothes he wore.

Queen Marie was quite a beauty in some fellows' eyes. She had perfectly long brown curly hair that was just right for a woman like her. Her tan skin glisten in the light just at times. Her body was quite fit for a woman like her. Her brown eyes always shone with confidence and pride of her title. She always wore the gorgeous and sofiscated clothing and wore them proud.

The king and queen had three sons who were princes.

Their first born, Prince Carlos, had already married to a beautiful young girl his age. Lucinda was her name. Something happened that made Lucinda want to leave Desembarcar after the wedding though. They still communicate by letters to the king, queen, and the whole kingdom. Last they heard from Carlos and Lucinda, they were expecting their first child.

Their second born, Prince Jose, came just a few years after Carlos did, but he was always married after Carlos had. Now, Jose had always been a ladies man until he first laid eyes on his wife to whom he was not married yet. Gabriella was her name. Something also happened to Gabriella that made her want to leave Desembarcar after the wedding, too. They too communicate through letters to the king, queen, and the whole kingdom.

Their third and final born, Prince Alejandro, came a couple of years after Jose, but he was still not married. He looked up to his older brothers when they were children. He was the last of the spawn and hoped to follow his father's footsteps in becoming king. This was one of two goals that Alejandro had. Finding a wife was the other goal. He went on a journey just to fill this girl and would call his parents to tell him of his progress.

But the king and queen had not heard from Alejandro in the last few days, which brings us back to our story.

"Ah, Cody," King Enrique greeted the boy as he rose from his salutation to the king and queen.

"What news do you bare?" Queen Maria asked the gapped-tooth fellow.

Cody gulped, before explaining. "Your majesties, I came baring horrible news of Prince Alejandro."

The king and queen looked at each other, worryingly.

"Go on," the king said.

"It seems that the village he was staying he not heard nor seen him. Last that seeh of him was going into a forrest where an Aphrodite cave inhabited," Cody stated.

Aphrodite caves were caves filled with female Aphrodites. Any male entering was doom to be under their spell and stay there as long as they lived.

The king and queen went wide-eyed at the sound of this.

"Maybe he's not there?" the queen whimpered, worrying about her only son left in line for the throne.

"Well, he's somewhere," the king stated.

"Maybe we can hire a detective?" Cody suggested.

"That's a great idea!" Queen Maria exclaimed.

"But who?" King Enrique asked.

Cody thought about it and the idea came to him. A few days before, he read an article of a female detective solving her 100th case.

"How Detective Heather of Ciudad?" Cody asked.

King Enrique scoffed. "Ha, a woman doing a man's job? How pathetic."

"But think about it," Cody explained. "If Prince Alejandro did wonder into an Aphrodite cave, she's going to be immue the spell of the Aphrodites and be able to rescue him."

"Yeah, you're right!" the queen exclaimed. "What do you think, Enique?"

King Enrique thought about it and finally agreed to it.

"Fine, go to Ciudad and get the Detective Heather," the king ordered. "Anything to get Alejandro back."

At her business headquarters in Ciudad...

A young girl in her twenties sat in her desk, looking for some cases to solve.

The girl had pale skin(but not too pale) and long straight black hair with a grey steak in it. She wore a brugandy tunic with brown pants and brown felt shoes. Her grey eyes concentrated on the case files.

She was so focus on the files that she didn't notice a person sneaking up on her. When the person got close enough, he leaned down close to her ear and whispered,

"Boo."

This caused to jump enough out of her seat. She glared up at him as he laughed so hard at her misfortune.

"Geoffrey! Don't do that again EVER!" the girl warned.

"Oh, relax Heather and please call me Geoff," Geoff said, reaching out a hand down to help her.

Geoff was her 'sidekick' in their Detective business. Geoff had baby blue eyes that always had a joyous feeling in them. He had blond hair that always move when he made the slightest movement with his head. He had fair skin a bit darker than Heather's but not by much. He wore white long baggy sleeve shirt with grass green pants and shoes.

Heather accepted the hand offer to her. Geoff was all she had from her childhood. From her father's disappearance to her siblings and her splitting, he had always been there for her and she had always been there for him. They both did lose the same person when they were ten, Bridgette.

"Why are you looking through these files?" Geoff asked. "We just solved our 100th case! We should be out celebrating! Come on, Heather what did you say?"

Heather thought about it. The reason she was looking through this files was because she was wanted to be a famous detective, not in Desembarcar but the whole world. But Geoff was right. She needed to relax and celebrate.

When she was about to accept his offer, there was a knock at the door. Heather walked to the door and opened it to find a short young man with fair skin and brown hair aka Cody. Geoff joined at the door, looking confused and kinda disappointed of going to the pub interupted.

"Pardon for any interuption, sir and madam," Cody said,"But King Enrique and Queen Maria request your presence for a mission. It's really important and urgent."

Heather and Geoff looked at each other in confusion.

King Enrique? Queen Maria? Request? Mission? This had to be good.

At Desembarcar castle...

Heather, Geoff, and Cody walked down the hallway to the throne room. As Cody opened the throne room, Heather and Geoff gulped as they looked at each other.

All three walked in the throne room and walked toward the king and queen. Once they reached a reasonable distance, they all bowed to the king and queen.

"Raise," King Enrique ordered. Heather, Geoff, and Cody all raised.

"Your majesties, Heather and Geoffrey of Ciudad Investigations," Cody introduced. Heather and Geoff bowed again.

"Ah, the girl detective," King Enrique said nonchanltly.

"Enrique, " Queen Maria muttered angerly before turning to Heather and Geoff. "Raise, you two."

Heather and Geoff did that before Queen Maria continued.

"Now our son, Prince Alejandro, had went on a journey to find him a wife. But we hadn't heard from him in a few days. Today, we just learned that he had disappeared at village he was visiting."

Suddenly, Heather and Geoff grew wide-eyed at this. They both had known what it means for someone you love disappear, Heather especially.

"Now, Prince Alejandro was last seen going into a forrest where an Aphrodite cave inhabited. Do you know what that is?"

"All too familar, my queen," Heather responded. "Sometimes we find our cilents' husband in caves like that so we have an idea or two about Aphrodite caves."

"Yes, anyway, we think Prince Alejandro in this cave," Queen Maria explained. "I want you to find our son and bring him here back in this castle."

"But what if he never found a wife?" Cody asked.

"Yeah, at least give him more time to find him one," King Enrique said.

"Alright, bring him back when he finds a wife," Queen Maria said.

"Wait, is that it?" Geoff asked. "You just tell us our mission and we go?"

"No, Cody, make sure our detectives are prepped for this mission," Queen Maria ordered. "Give them our two best horses and give them supplies for their trip to Gente."

Cody gave them just that. Horses and supplies. After they were prepared to go, Heather and Geoff left to go to Gente.

The horse that Heather was riding was a nice black beauty stallion. The horse that Geoff was riding a white confident female horse. At times the two horses would nudge each other as if they were flirting.

"Why are we doing this again?" Geoff asked when they left the castle and city surrounding it.

"Think about this way, Geoff," Heather said. "We succeed this case; we're put in the newspaper where Bridgette can see us and she and us are reunited."

This seemed to light up Geoff a bit but not much.

"Alright," Geoff sighed.

Heather looked up ahead where a new adventure was beginning.

Hey guys so sorry about the late update! But I offically opened this story up again and its my main Aleheather story at the moment.

Sure, I have small projects like TD Music Channel and Chatroom, and big ones like When A Child Wants Guitar Lessons and Total Drama Kiddos, but this falls under 'Big Projects'.

Now I typed this up in just TWO HOURS and that's the shortest time I have ever written a story or update. Possibly this is a 'get going' chapter where the charaters and the story start. I hope this was worth the long wait for guys who reviewed.

Well, I'm going to bed. I have school tommorrow! Hooray. X-l

Well, review! :)

Luv, Flutejrp
