Andromeda's POV

I woke and saw Elizabeth rummaging through my secret draw pulling out the necklace I took from Will. Yes she and I still share a room after eight years of being here. Our beds are on opposite sides of our big window. "Elizabeth how many times do I have to tell you to stay out of my draws?" I ask her as I sit up. She had put on the pirate medallion. "Don't let dad see you wearing that" I grumble.

"I had a dream last night, about when we meet Will" she tells me. She had turn to face me with a smile. How does she look beautiful so early in the morning? When all I want to do is go back to sleep.

"Same here, that's weird" I murmured as I stand up. Just then there was a knock on the door and I grab my robe tossing Elizabeth hers. We quickly put them on flicking our long hair out the back of it. Elizabeth had golden brown hair while mine is a chestnut brown colour.

"Andromeda, Elizabeth are you decent?" dad asks from the other side of the door.

"The necklace" I remind Elizabeth and she hides it under her dress. "Yes, Yes!" I tell dad as I wrap my robe around me. He enters the room smiling with mine and Elizabeth's hand maids.

"Still in bed at this hour, it's a lovely day" he tells us as Estelle opens the curtains. "I have something for you both" he adds. It was then I noticed Hope and Shani were holding dress boxes in their arms. I lift the lead of the one Hope is holding and Elizabeth lifts the lid of the one Shani is holding.

"Oh they're beautiful father" I state as I take out the pink dress and Elizabeth takes out a yellow/gold one.

"May I inquire on the occasion?" Elizabeth asks as she goes behind her changing screen with Shani and Estelle.

"Does a father need an occasion to dote upon his daughters?" dad asks.

"Yes, we know you tell well father" I tell him and go behind my changing screen. With Hope and Alice to help me get dress.

"Though I had hoped you'd wear it to the ceremony this morning" he states.

"Ceremony?" Elizabeth and I ask him from behind our changing screens.

"Captain Norrington's promotion ceremony" Dad clarifies.

"I knew it" Elizabeth states sticking her head out.

"Are you really surprise Elizabeth?" I ask her and she says nothing popping her head back behind her screen. Alice starts to tie up my corset and I tell her not to do it so tight.

"Commodore Norrington he's about to become" dad tells us. "Fine gentleman don't you think Andromeda?" he asks. "He fancies you" he adds and I roll my eyes. Dad had been trying to set Norrington and I up for months. Don't get me wrong he is a handsome man and a true gentleman. But I when I look into my future with him as my husband, it is unclear.

"Elizabeth how's it coming?" dad asks her changing the subject.

"Difficult to say" Elizabeth gasps out.

"I'm told they are the latest fashion in London" he states.

"Will women in London must have learnt not to breath" Elizabeth states. I agree even with the corset not tied up properly, I can barely breath. Suddenly one of the butlers enters the room to tell dad something.

"My lord you have a visitor" he states.

"Thank you, I will see you girls downstairs" dad tells us before leaving. My dress was finally on and Hope starts to do my hair. Elizabeth soon comes out from behind her curtain and Estelle starts to do her hair. Once she was done she placed a hat on Elizabeth's head as Alice gives us our fans.

"Thank you ladies, we will see you tonight" I dismiss them. They curtsy before leaving the room leaving Elizabeth and I alone. "You look absolutely beautiful Elizabeth" I tell her as I stand up. She to stands and turns to face me smiling broadly.

"Not as beautiful as you Andromeda" she states. "Lets go show dad" she suggests holding out her arm. I laugh quietly and link my arm with hers as we leave the room together.
