JUST KIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDING hahaha
sorry its taken me forever... sigh... i suck at story writing...




Once upon a time, in a kingdom by the sea, there lived four sisters. They lived in a humble little cottage on the beach at the bottom of a cliff. Their names were: Jasy, Kat, Jo, and Doronia. At the top of this cliff by their cottage stood the royal palace made of crystal. In the palace there lived a king, a queen, and their four sons: Jack, Eric, Dimitri, and Seth. The sisters led a simple life. Across the sea there was a cluster of kingdoms that the "kingdom by the sea" traded with regularly, one of which these sisters were princesses of. Their father was the king of one of these kingdoms and his brother, another. Their mother had passed away when they were just infants. As all good kings seem to do, their father passed away mysteriously and his brother had taken over his kingdom. Their uncle seemed to despise them and had orders drawn out for their execution. The sisters had snuck into the luggage area of a grand ship that carried out exports to the kingdom by the sea. For days they hungered and feared for their lives until the ship docked and the sisters quietly snuck out and began their life at the bottom of the cliff. For months and months and years and years, the sisters led the same mundane life... they lived a structured, boring, but safe life. The sisters knew that if they did anything that would draw too much attention to themselves could be a cause for their immediate execution. Who knew what their evil uncle had in store for them? The cliff life was not bad, a simple one, but not bad.But, all their lives were about to change on that one fateful day when a big castle of a ship crashed into the nearby reef. The princesses awoke to a scene that was unfamiliar to them; nothing like the clear blue skies and clean water, but to a ship crash that was not so far from them. As girls usually are, they were curious and decided to go take a look at the crash site to see if they was anyone still inside…any hot princes {ehhh ;)} because it was about time for some excitement in their lives after years of living under the cliff with just the four of them. To their dismay, they didn't find princes, but rather, lots of food, weapons, and PIRATES (who scared them because of all the stories they had heard about them). Four of them were lying on the ground. Just as they were turning to leave, they heard the noise of one of the pirates stirring. He sees them - and they scream! A princess’s scream is a frightful sound. While people have said the cry of a banshee can instil fear and dread into the hearts of those who hear it, a princess’s scream has quite the opposite effect. It encourages a sense of courage and compassion and can force even the laziest knight into action. So one can only imagine the power of four screams from a set of quadruplet sister princesses on four lowly pirates! The princesses of course had all of this in mind as they screamed; they were very clever for their father had taught them well. But, their plan did not go quite as they had hoped. "What is that bloody – shut yer insolent howling!" roared the pirate. His companions around him began to stir. The princesses kept screaming, though they were all very confused as to why their screams did not seem to have the desired effect. "This is unbearable, SHUT UP!!" yelled another pirate. "Of ALL the places we could have been shipwrecked!!" yelled the third pirate. The princesses did not stop. "Ladies please, I don’t know why you’re screaming like that but it’s not helping my headache at all and I do believe it’s irritating my companions to no end and I really would not like to see anyone get hurt today so please, stop yelling," said the fourth pirate. Surprised at the gentleness of his tone but more out of worry at the prospect of getting hurt, the princesses stopped screaming. They all looked at each other in silence for what seemed like an eternity when finally, Jo spoke. "Umm are you going to kill us?" she asked. "Of course they’re going to kill us, they’re mangy no-good thieving lying packs of dung," said Jasy. Kat, feeling very tense, said, "Maybe you shouldn’t call them names Jasy. I don’t really feel like dying today." "Madams please, we’re not going to kill you, we only need your help. My name is Drake and these are my companions: ***, ***, and Mark Antony [pointing to third pirate]. As you can see, our ship has crashed and it looks like we won’t be able to recover much. We’re awfully tired and cold and hungry," said Drake [the fourth pirate]. Doronia, easily swayed by rugged men with bad-boy demeanours, immediately said, "Our cottage is right over there! We have food and blankets and everything you’ll need. Would you like to come with us?" Her sisters looked at her in disbelief. Doronia ignored them. "Thank you, thank you so much," said *** [pirate 4]. "Please don’t be afraid, we’re really quite harmless." They all began to walk toward the sisters’ cottage."Harmless my ass," grumbled Jasy under her breath.
The princesses' cottage was, due to their circumstances, very unique. If you were to visit there, you would notice that the soft sand surface under your feet would change to a firmer ground of pebbles and driftwood.The cottage, was in fact, not quite a real cottage at all but a small abandoned houseboat that the sisters had taken days to haul under the cliff and clean in order to create their home. One might call it a cottage though, as the boat had been spruced up and positioned in such a way that its white deck resembled a wrap-around porch. As the group approached, Kat suddenly quickened her pace, throwing herself against the doorway. "Aye, is smthin wrong lassie?" questioned **** (the second pirate who happened to be irish) raising his brow. Kat gave her sisters an exasperated look. "Our home... is a complete MESS. I MUST do a quick clean before you come in." She said pointedly. Doronia, Jo, and Jasy rolled their eyes. The pirates chuckled. "That raaaally shant be neccessary! s'long as you 'ave a pint 'n some grub, i reckon we'll be fine!"
They all entered the cottage and the pirates tossed their bags on the floor as they entered the small kitchen. "I'll find you all something to eat..." Said Jo quietly, motioning for the pirates to sit down. Kat began rummaging through their cupboards. Dora opened up the fridge and took out serveral bottles of beer, placing them on the table. "It's awfully warm in here don't you think?" She said as she removed her shawl, purposely draping it over the chair Marc Antony was sitting on. Jasy looked up from sulking in the doorway. "oh... my... goo-" "WHY dont' you hang up their coats and bags for them!!!" Said Dora a little too excited. Jasy muttered as she stepped over and reached down for their packs. "NO!!!" yelled *** [the first pirate]. He reached over to snatch up his bag but in his hurry knocked it over and all its contents spilled onto the floor.

FISH. The whole cottage smelled of fish. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Kat screams. If you know the smell if fish, you understand the way its putris stink eventually gets into every nook and cranny of the "container" its in; in this case, the princesses' cottage. Marc Antony mutters something under his breath and proceeds to stuff the rotting fish back into his bag. "WHAT? WHAT did you say?" Kat questions. "I SAID SORRY" Marc Antony shoots back, his hands moving faster, stuffing more and more fish into his bag. "WHY do you have fish in your bag....?" Dora asks flirtatiously... "are you theives who stole fish from some rich rich man and are on the run?" (Dora seems very attracted to 'bad boys')... Drake speaks up "just TELL them...". Marc Antony heaves a sigh, "we have rotting fish in our bags because...
