In honour of my birthday today here is a extra chapter you lucky ducks.
Harry dipped Breanne in the final step of the dance then slowly brought her back up as the two breathed heavily and closely. For a moment the two were caught up with each other but a distinct smell broke Breanne out of it.
"Do you smell rum?" she questioned then looked around. Her gaze caught state of the team quickly mopping up the spill that had caused Matthew to injure himself. Then her gaze narrowed in on a smirking and avidly talking Xander and Lucas.
"They didn't" she grumbled detangling from Harry and storming over to the two. Both became cool once they saw her approaching.
"Hey Juju having fun?" Lucas asked with a broad almost innocent smile.
"Rummy swap? Really. You stoop to playing pranks during one of the most important parties in my reign." she folded her arms at them
"We have no idea what you're talking about dear." Xander denied but Breanne was wise to their antics
"You to seem to forget that I played Rummy swap so that you Lucas could charm one of the many women that caught your eyes at these kinds of celebrations and you Uncle Xander taught both of us how to play because you got annoyed with Grandpapa, a lot." she raised her eyebrow at the two.
"Speaking of delightful, women excuse me." Lucas dodge past his niece leaving Xander alone with Breanne.
"Well, I'm getting tired my dear, have a lovely night." Xander took his leave as well and Breanne rolled her eyes deciding now, to check up on Matthew.

The next day Uma approached Harry, she was curious. She admittedly had been curious for a while but the previous night's even led her to question her first mate.
"Harry." she called. Uma had found him on the ship back on the isle twirling his hook. "So whats going on with you and Queenie?" she questioned making him look up at the mention of Breanne.
"Nothing why?" he became defensive which made Uma raised an eyebrow at her first mate.
"Harry, we've been close since we were kids, you're my first mate and loyal pirate. You can't ever fool me." she folded her arms in a silent gesture to make a point. Harry rolled his eyes and walked away.
"It's complicated." Uma's head tilted slightly, she had a theory but she thought to test it first.
"What could be complicated about a stuck up Beastie Queen?" She taunted him and he turned sharply holding his hook to her neck.
"Never speak of her like that." he glowered at her and Uma smirked in response which confused the pirate.
"You love her." she breathed "The Queen stole your greatest treasure...your heart." Harry's face faltered slightly
"Her and I can never be together. She's a Queen and she has a duty, i would never ask her to betray her oath." he went to stand at the edge of the ship looking over the water.
"She's changed you." Uma commented and he glanced back at her "Why can't you? Ben was going to marry Mal, he still might." Harry scoffed
"Mal being within touching distance of a crown is the doomsday scenario." he shook his head "No, Bree needs someone who understands her world and what she needs to do." he grabbed one of the ropes and swung himself off the ship.
"Miracles happen." Uma muttered to herself shaking her head.
