Alex eyes flicked open, light came in through the window setting a yellow tone through the room, she untangles herself from a sleeping Harry's strong arms as she climbed out of the bed and made her way over to the mirror she ran a brush through her long curly hair effortlessly. She looked at Harry's reflection in the mirror, he looked so peaceful sleeping, in the week they'd spent together she had come so used to waking up in his arms she wondered what it would be like to sleep alone again, or with someone else, how would she sleep without those protective arms holding her?
"Alex you have to go home." She tried to persuade herself.

"A million thoughts in my head, should I let my heart keep listening? I know it's time to say goodbye. So hard to let go...."  She sang sadly a tear rolling down her pale cheek by quickly being wiped away as she tries to compose herself.

Alex outfit for today.

She got up from the table pulling on her red dress she had made from stolen materials and pulled on her black heels. Moments later there was a knock at the door and Gile popped his head though the door waking Harry from his sleep.

"Guys Uma wants us on deck..." Gile explained. "She's looking for you Harry."

"Uh, okay lets go, Harry can get dressed and meet her up there." Alex smiled at Harry's get up, his hair was messy and all he wore was a pair of boxers, his chest was bare as he sat on the bed still half asleep. Alex followed as Gile lead her up on to the deck, where Uma and the rest of the crew busied themselves. When Uma caught sight of Alex her usual wicked smile didn't spread across her lips instead her face was filled with worry and frustration.

"Tie her up!" Uma yelled, for the first time since being in the ship Alex started to worry about what lengths Uma would really go to to get the wand.

Gile followed his orders tying Alex to the mast of the ship with rope, Alex couldn't help but feel a knot build in her stomach as she waited tied up for what ever came next. Finally Harry appeared on deck, Alex couldn't tell how long he'd been up there as she couldn't see most of the ship from where she was tied. All she really knew is the second that boy came into view that giant knot that had formed in her stomach just disappeared, she felt save with him around. Harry toke advantage of Uma being preoccupied to talk to Alex.

"Hey princess you look a little tied up." He chuckled at his own joke.

"Haha very funny. What do you want pirate?" Alex tried to hide her smile.

"I wanted to tell you you look beautiful before we have to put in a show for everyone. I going to miss you princess."

"I'm going to miss you with all my heart Harry Hook." All Alex wanted in that moment was to embrace him and feel his kiss on her lips, instead she held back the tears that begged to escape her blue eyes.

"Alex." Uma's voice snapped Alec back to the present. "You look very glamorous for bait."

"Well what can I say a princess must always look her best." Alex smiled smugly.

"Glad you gave up the isle look it didn't suite you." Uma baited.

"Oh I know rags and not for everyone I think I'll stick to my riches from now on, image is everything you know." Alex played along over playing the stick up princess role perfectly.

"I always knew you was shallow and self cantered."

"Oh like a kiddies pool." Alex agreed.

"Not long now princess only 30 minutes." Harry chimed in wickedly.

"That says 11.20." Alex corrected Harry. "Can't get the help am I right." Alex laughed mockingly.

"I could hurt you." Harry threatened.

"Do it I dare you." Alex played along.

"Harry! Leave us alone." Uma jumped in defusing the situation.

"I never get to have any fun." Harry moaned as he walked away.

"His right though you're running out of time."

"Uh, I've made my peace. I'm hoping they don't show."

"Oh they'll show." Uma looked out over the docks.

"Probably." Alex admitted.

A/n- I know if only reprise is Mal's song but it worked so well for the situation I couldn't help but use it for Alex.
