A Pirate Proposal

"Lanie Rouge, report to the captain!" Jack yelled. It was the crack of dawn, three years after she had joined the crew.

"Aah!" she screamed, surprised by his sudden arrival. "Oh, yes, the captain, oh, Aye Aye, Jack!"

Jack shut the door and left, leaving Lanie to put on her usual outfit.

The sun was just rising over the docks of Floridian, the floral kingdom, where the ship had docked sometime in the night. Because of its beauty, it was one of the only docks still open to pirates. Hills near and far were blanketed with every color of flower, sending the fragrances all over the island kingdom. The little town by the docks was just waking up, and a few people were beholding the beauty of the Morning Glories. Lanie walked onto the deck, taking in the smells and the coastline. She ran to the edge of the rail and looked over.

"Oh, It's more beautiful than I imagined!" she said. Lanie turned around, searching for her benefactor. John, like Lanie, was looking over the rail beside her. As soon as he noticed her watching him, he knelt in front of her.

"Alaniana Rouge." He said "Will you marry me?"

Lanie took a handful of seconds to compose herself. "Yes, John Bluebeard, if you'll have me."

"Of course I'll have you! What are you..." He trailed, noticing her sly smile.

"Got you." she said.

"Oh, you little pirate, you." John laughed, lifting his fiance into the air.
