The next morning, Anastasia walked up to the ship she had seen along with Carmen, Tatiana and Ivy. The 4 women stood on the ship, nostalgia coursing through their veins. "Reminds me of the first time we met, Anne." Said Tatiana as she looked at the sails. Ivy turned redder than her hair. "Don't remind me. It took me many weeks to stop laughing after what you did to Calico Jack!" She replied, remembering how they met.
(Flashback!)
"Sister, are you sure we're in the right island?" Asked Tatiana as she and Anastasia were walking around, Trying to find Anastasia's love. Once Anastasia spotted Mary, she ran towards her and pounced on her back. "Ah! Oh, hi, love." Mary said as she held Anastasia in her arms, noticing Tatiana. "Ana, did you bring your sister?" She asked as Anastasia nodded. "Yep! Mary, this is Tatiana. Tatiana, this is Mary." The two women looked at each other as they shook hands.
"Pleasure to meet you, Mary Read."
"Likewise, Grand Duchess Tatiana." Tatiana looked over and frowned. In the distance was Anne being hit on by Calico Jack and she growled. Secretly using a good amount of her magic, she made a thundercloud form on his head as he tried to run away from it, causing Anne to laugh. "Thank you."
"Your welcome.. uh.."
"Anne. Anne Bonny."
"Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna Romanov of Russia." She said, Moving a lock of her Dark Auburn hair out of the way, allowing Anne to see her Gray eyes like liquid Silver bathed with smoky moons, all trapped in a dark ring. Anne was amazed by how.. Bewitching she looked.
(End of Flashback!)
"And my brain was a mess seeing ya, Tatiana." Said Ivy as Tatiana giggled before she tripped over a chest. "Ow." She mumbled before slowly standing up. "What did sis trip on now?" Asked Anastasia as she looked at the chest which once was a beautiful golden color now rusted along with the faded decals. Using her key carver, Carmen created a heart shaped key for the chest and opened it. "Love, look!" She said, reaching into the chest, pulling out a small cloth.
"What is it?"
"If this is what I think it is.. I'm digging up some treasures in here."
"What is it?" Anastasia asked again as Carmen placed the cloth on her lap and untied the knot. In the cloth was a blue heart shaped necklace surrounded by a bunch of tiny diamonds.
"This is called the heart of the ocean, my princess. It fell out of the crown of some royal and was made into a necklace. I had stolen this many years ago and was planning to give it to you.." replied Carmen as she looked at Anastasia. "May i?"
"You may."
Carmen smiled as Anastasia held her hair up as she clasped the necklace around her throat. Once the necklace was clasped on, Anastasia placed her hair back down as it covered the chain behind her hair. She gently fingered the blue gem and looked at Carmen. "At least I now know what kind of Jewelry to wear for our wedding on New year's day, Dear." She said, seeing a deep blush forming on her face. "Really? You want to marry a former Pirate and Queen of Crime?"
"Did I stutter? You heard me." Both Tatiana and Ivy both started laughing as Carmen turned redder. "Shut it, none of you say a word." Said Mary as Tatiana laughed harder. Anne looked down into the chest and gasped. "There's another cloth, Mary!" She said, gently taking it out. Placing the cloth in her lap, she undid the knot.
"What is it, Anne?"
"This is something I wanted to give you before I was arrested." Said Anne as she lifted up a Ruby and Diamond necklace that shined even in the light.
"Anne! Where did you get this?" She asked, looking at the necklace with a mixture of shock and awe. "Got this from Burma. I figured you would like it." She explained, clasping the necklace around her throat. Tatiana gingerly touched one of the gems on the necklace as a soft smiled formed on her delicate lips. "Anne, it's so beautiful.." she said, her eyes twinkling like diamonds. "Of course, Nothing is too good for my future bride." Tatiana giggled, placing her head on Ivy's shoulder. "Do you think that Alexei's resurrected along with Edward, Mary?" Asked Anastasia.
"I have no doubt in my mind. We just need to wake him and Alexei up if we can find something that they both had years ago in our time." Said Mary as Anne nodded her head, agreeing with her. "I still can't believe that everything we lost is still here.. I wonder how Lee Jordan managed to get the Vanity back." Anne said, never letting go of her fiancée. "I don't know.. but let's head back before everyone else at ACME gets suspicious about where we've been gone." Said Tatiana as Anne sighed. "Fine.." said Anne as she let Ivy back into control.
After the two left, Mary looked at Anastasia. "Let's look the next day if we find something." Said Mary as the blonde beauty nodded. The two left the ship and went back to VILE. When the two women went to their shared room, Carmen noticed that Anastasia looked very saddened. "What's wrong, Princess?" She asked. Anastasia looked up at her with watery eyes. "What if this might be our last day together and I might never see you again?.. when I heard about your death, I was brokenhearted for years, dreaming about the day I could find you again. When I died, I.. I was sure I could see you again.. I'm sorry if it sounded so selfish..But.. I- I just can't stand losing you again!" She sobbed, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Anastasia.." Carmen walked over to the weeping woman and held her close. "Oh Ana, it 'twas never your fault that I died. We were caught off guard and those damned officers got us. Had the crew fought like us, they wouldn't hang now like dogs. When I heard about YOUR death, I was grief stricken and couldn't function.. the thought of losing you pains me so much. I never imagined you and your whole family were shot dead.. especially since you did nothing wrong. The damn British couldn't save you.. I wanted to jump out of hell and save you. So please.. don't ever blame yourself."
Anastasia removed her tears as she nuzzled into Carmen. "Ok.." Carmen then picked up her fiancée and placed her in her lap, stroking her head. She decided to help her calm down via a song.

Mary read: "I knew from the start you were trouble, my dear.. why would Calico Jack keep a beautiful woman so near? I hid best I could, tried to keep my disguise. But you saw through all my pretense and lies~ Through sunburn and blisters, through bruises and scars, My Romanov, my lassie, I see who you are."
Anastasia looked up at her, head resting on her chest as one of Carmen's arms kept itself on her waist as she continued, sapphire/brown eyes meeting Caribbean/Cornflower blue. Mary had to let Anastasia know it wasn't her fault for what happened and to tell her side of the story.
"The night when they caught us, the crew's guard was down. So full of themselves, enough whiskey to drown. The heroes were downstairs, they were drunk now, and well.. As the first soldier climbed o'er the railing, I yelled: "my love, draw your gun, and I'll have your back!" My Romanov, my lassie, your eyes burning black. I'd die by your side any day- forever your Mac.
Our rage as we realized they'd hid below deck. At being boarded by the Albion, that sorry-ass wreck! Those weaklings, those cowards, crying into their grog. Had they fought like us, they wouldn't hang now like dogs! You struck down like lightning, my angel, my bride! My Romanov, my lassie, the Vanity's pride. The fiercest of warriors, and I fought right by your side!"
Anastasia was blushing and giggling as Mary caressed her face and planted little kisses on her neck. She could tell Anastasia loved the affection and needed the reassurance that they both would live together forever since the Lord gave them an another chance to have their happy ending, the ending they rightfully deserved after going through so much pain and suffering.
"The port Royal courthouse was packed to the aisles, to see the infamous monsters Anne bonny and Mary read stand trial, you two listened in silence to those idiots' bleats.. So fragile, so Royal, they should've bowed at your feet! We wanted to save you, to kill one and all! My Romanov, my lassie, so quiet and small..
I knew from the start you were trouble, my dear.. but I am not one to be held back by fear, You're my greatest adventure, so fuck that Barnet. He may have caught us, but I have no regrets! I may be rotting in prison, but don't cry for me.. My Romanov, my lassie, I was never as free, As when we were lovers in arms on the sea~!
And that freedom don't wear off by hanging from a tree.."
Anastasia smiled once more as Carmen was relieved. "Feel better?" She nodded as Carmen held her close. "Good. I don't want to see another frown spoil that beautiful face of yer's, my treasure." She giggled as she felt safe in Mary's arms before she felt her lids close and something from Carmen and Mary at the same time.
"After all, you'll be the first thing we both steal."
