A young light blue hedgehog named Jules Maurice Hedgehog, the younger brother of his older brother Sir Charles Maurice, Jules has no rank and has to clean the poop deck everyday until everything soon changed that one day which would lead to changing...
Jules saw the shop nearby and makes a stop as soon as he saw it. "Alright, we're here." Jules said as he put Aleena on the ground "That was really fast..." said Aleena. "Fastest on both land and in the sea." Jules said to Aleena. "You have a lot of potential with your abilities. With the right training, you'll go far, metaphorically speaking. My father can teach you." said Aleena. "I'm not the brightest student. I never did well on tests." Jules said sadly. "Jules......Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you have any idea how many people in my kingdom would have leaped at the opportunity to be personally trained by my father the king? My father asked me to offer this opportunity to you." Aleena said to Jules. "You think he could train me?" Jules asked Aleena. "He knows he can. You have the abilities to breathe and use your speed underwater thanks to part of his powers running in your veins now. How could my father be a king and leader if he can't teach or train his own daughters and people?"
Aleena said to Jules. "Good point. But why choose me?" asked Jules. "Because you're here for a reason even if you can't understand it there's always a reason. Also, my father said that pendant he made for me was designed to search for qualities and traits in a potential male suitor that he values. That fact that my pendant chose you means that you have qualities that the king values. That's not something to take lightly, Jules." Aleena said as she finished her explanation. "Let's focus on getting you a better outfit first, Aleena. But, I will seriously take into consideration everything you told me. l'll also have to discuss this with my brother since also had in mind that business he wanted to started in this country." Jules said to Aleena. "I understand. And thanks for considering my father's offer to you." Aleena said to Jules with a smile on her face. "You're welcome." Jules said to Aleena.
"Princess!!!" shouted what appears to be a crab that was running towards Jules and Aleena. "Juan, What are you doing here?!" Aleena said as she quickly picked up the crab with her hands. "I got caught with all these fish here. It's hard trying to avoid being bought and eaten and I had several close call already." Juan said to the female hedgehog. "Thankfully for you. I don't like crabs. But I can't speak for my brother." Jules said to the crab that Aleena held in her hands. "Jules, really?" Aleena lightly chastised while looking at Jules. "I'm actually being serious Charles really does eat crustaceans." Jules said to Aleena. "Jules, meet Juan The Crab. He's the Royal court composer, Singer songwriter, and my father's chief of staff." Aleena said to Jules. "Juan will be cooking to a different tune if my brother sees. He loves eating crabs, shrimps and lobsters. I remember the last time we made the mistake of stopping at an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. He ate ALL of their crustaceans. 2000 rings worth!" said Jules. "Oh great..... I'm screwed if I see your brother." Juan said in fear. "Since you're here Juan, you can hide in my hair for now." Aleena said to Juan. "Thanks, Princess." Juan said to Aleena before he hides in Aleena's hair. "It'll be better if we return him to the ocean first before we meet up with my brother. But after we get you some better clothes." said Jules.
The couple made they way to the clothes shop where they were greeting by the female shop owner, who was taken aback by Aleena's poor clothes. "Oh my! It looks like that poor thing went through a shipwreck." said the Shop-owner. "This noble hedgehog found me by the shores and offered to provide me with decent clothing. I'm a very long way from home and had a recent run-in with pirates." Aleena said to the Shop-owner. "You poor young lady. It's a miracle you're still alive and was saved by this strapping young hogger." said the Shop-owner. "Oh it was nothing, we were wondering if you could help find better clothes for this girl." Jules told the Shop-owner. "Of course I'll help the young lady. You wait here while I take this young lady to try on some of the clothes." said the Shop-owner. Juan had to quickly crawl down Aleena's hairs and head over to Jules without being caught. "What kind of clothes would you want me to give and dress the young lady in?" asked the Shop-owner. "The best one you have. I'll pay in full for it." Jules told the Shop-owner. "Are you sure about that?" asked the Shop-owner. "I have a lot of money so I'm sure about it." said Jules.
"You only met the maiden. Today and you're given her royal treatment." said the Shop-owner. Jules thought 'The irony.' Shop owner then saw Jules pull out a sack fully of gold rings. "Like I said, I can pay for it." said Jules. "Alright then, I'll find the best outfit we have and have this young lady try it on to see how she likes it." The Shop-owner said to Jules before she took Aleena with her. Juan sighed in relief that he didn't get caught. "I don't understand why you surfacers wear what you call "clothes." The cultural barriers is so hard to comprehend." said Juan. 'Because seeing Aleena without clothes arouse and excites me. I want to maintain my self-control.' Jules thought to himself.
Aleena's face was a dark shade of red after hearing Jules' thoughts about her just now. The shop owner looked at blushing Aleena and asked. "Are you OK? Do you have a certain hedgehog on your mind?" asked the shop owner. "I'm fine.. just fine..." Aleena said to the shop owner while she was blushing. "You're a very lucky girl to have been found such a rich nobleman so willing to take you in and care for your needs. It's every woman's fantasy to be loved and taken care of by a strong masculine man who appreciates our feminine qualities and allure as women." the shop owner said to Aleena with a smile on her face. "I will admit that he is really handsome." Aleena said to the shop owner while she was still blushing.
Two hours passed as Jules patiently waited. As a guy, he never understood why women took so long to dressed and groom themselves. "If I knew it took this long, I'd have gone for a run and explore this country further." said Jules. "Or you could take me back to the ocean instead." Juan said to the light blue male hedgehog. "At least it'll give me something to do." Jules picked up Juan and placed him in his pocket. He was about to leave when Aleena and the shop owner appeared in front on him. "My apologies for the long wait. I took the time to clean and groom her before she dressed." The shop owner told Jules. "It's alright." said Jules. Aleena was dressed in an purple and white Old English Victorian dress with glazed golden fringes around the bottom edge of the dress and sleeves. Her hair was neatly cleaned and groomed with a matching jewelry headpiece that went with the dress. She had on matching shoes and a nervous smile.

"Jules, what do you think...?" Aleena shyly asked Jules. "You look beautiful..." Jules said while blushing. Aleena's new appearance made her look regal and from a rich high class noble family. She had no makeup on since the shop owner found that Aleena's natural beauty was more than enough. "This dress is my favorite work and the fine materials it's made with were imported." said the shop owner. Jules paid for the regal dress and everything else that was done for Aleena and told the shop owner "I'll be sure to purchase more dresses from here for her. I like your style." The shop owner thanked him, knowing she now has a new returning customer. The couple then left the shop.
