The Perfect Prank

As morning came aboard the Lucian, Xenia smiled as she woke up beside her ever loving mate. Darius rose just as soon as she did, giving her a radiant smile as she greeted her.

"Good morning, my love," he smiled.

"Good morning too, my king," she replied with a smile of her own. "I'm assuming that I'll be swimming as soon as we're done with breakfast?"

"That is correct," Darius chuckled. "I'm sure you can handle it now, however. You've done it before. You can do it again."

And wasn't that the truth? Xenia was sure that swimming through the ocean wouldn't be as hard as the last time she did it. Besides, it was only one day of swimming again. What else was there for her to do except to do it?

"Of course," Xenia proudly smiled. "It's gonna be pretty easy this time too. What with me having already done it."

Granted, there might be a few sharks again, but that was a given, she supposed.
