The Pirate and the Princess

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day Guinevere thought as she look out at the giant vacuum that is space. The stars and planets that surround her. The absolute beauty that is the universe. She smiled as she thought of the quest that lay ahead. She was sent to find a princess who is missing. This is the most important quest Guinevere has ever taken on. Princess Diamonique of Gelzebob, the most beautiful planet Guinevere has ever visited.
Guinevere was so lost in thought she jumped and let out a little yelp when Devon said "Good morning Guinevere, you seem awful happy this morning". After Guinevere regained her composure she said"Damn it, Devon why do u have to always sneak up on me like that. I swear you're going to scare me to death one day". After a few minutes Devon asked again, "So why are you so happy this morning?". Guinevere gave Devon a funny a look, "I'm always happy. You should know that, you've only been my first mate for three years now," she said.
"Yes but today you seem to be glowing with excitement and joy" Devon said.
"Yes well this is the most important quest we've been given."
"Yes, that is true."
"Any news this morning?" Guinevere asked.
"Just people trying to sell shit like usual."
Before Guinevere could respond the rest of her crew began to come out of their rooms. "Good morning everyone lets have a great day!" She said. They crew replied in unison, "aye aye captain". Then all of them left for the cafeteria for breakfast.
"Hey nick what's for breakfast?" Sven asked. "Just some biscuits and gravy," Nick replied. Sven is the janitor of our happy little ship and Nick is the cook. They are have been nearly inseparable since the day they met. Nick has been the cook on this ship for five years now and Sven joined Guinevere's merry little crew about four years ago. "Alright let's get this day started with a nice hot breakfast everyone!" Sven exclaimed as he winked at Nick.
While Guinevere and her friends were enjoying their breakfast several lightyears away Princess Diamonique was having a party with her two best friends Gabriel and Lucifer. "This was such a bad idea Gabriel. What if we get caught and what about our parents they are going to be so worried about us." Lucifer whined. "Oh shut up, you big pussy," Gabriel replied. Diamonique just rolled her eyes and picked up another drink. "Why don't you boys kiss and make up so we can enjoy this party," she said.

Back to Guinevere and her crew who have just finished breakfast. "That was some of the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had," Guinevere said. "You say that about everything he cooks," Devon grumbled. "That's because it's true," Guinevere replied with a smile. "Thank you Guin!" Nick shouted from the kitchen. With that Guinevere went back to her post at the ship's helm. She sat in her chair and looked at the switches and buttons. She stared for a long time just thinking about about her quest ahead. Her mouth quirks into a slight smile as she fantasizes about saving the princess and being a hero. She thinks about how fighting off villains while escaping some hidden bunker on a remote planet and once the princess is safe and on her ship Guinevere will move some of that long blond hair out of the princesses face and lean close and... "Hey captain!" Someone shouts and breaks her out of her daydream.
Still a little flushed from her fantasy about Princess Diamonique, Guinevere stands to see who called for her. She looks out over the ship and sees Dorothy staring at her waiting for a response. Instead of telling back and forth Guinevere desides to walk down to where Dorothy is. When she reaches Dorothy she asks with a hint of humor in her voice "what's so important you had to ruin my daydream?" "I just thought you should know that tomorrow is Devons birthday and we dont have anything planned," Dorothy replied. Guinevere is so stunned and embarrassed that she completely forgot Devons birthday. That must be why he was asking all those questions this morning, Guinevere thought. "Tell Nick to make a cake and we need to stop at the nearest planet to get supplies!" She says as she starts to freak out. She was so wrapped up in this quest she forgot her best friends birthday. How is she ever going to make up for this? "Calm down Guin I've got you covered," Dorothy says with a small chuckle. "Thank you so much. I owe you one," Guinevere replied. "He's my friend too jackass" Dorothy said jokingly.
Guinevere gave her a big hug to show her appreciation. "Ya know I don't know what you do without us. Haha," Dorothy laughed. "Neither do I hun," Guinevere replied.
Guinevere went back to the helm while her crew worked on the surprise party for Devon.

"This party is dope as fuck Diamon where did you hear of this?" Gabriel yelled over the sound of music and screams of excitement. "I have my connection you know that and you also know I never reveal my sources," Diamonique answered. "Guys when are we going home?" Lucifer asked. Gabriel and Diamonique just rolled their eyes and went back to dancing.
Lucifer, feeling left out and shut out, went to the bar to order more drinks to help him loosen up some more. Maybe if he just learned to relax and have fun then Gabrie would finally notice him for the man he is. The man who would take care of him love him for everything he is.
"Come on Lucy get out here and dance with up!" Diamonique yelled from the dance floor.
This cheers Lucifer up and he comes skipping onto the dancefloor right up against Gabriel.
