A/N: This love story is based on my 6th great grandmother Elizabeth Cummins and her husband.

"Stop right there!" I heard the police call as I stole the silver.

"Oh man where do I go?" I asked myself.

"Gotcha." A policeman said as they grabbed me and handcuffed me.

My name is Akashi Haruna and I'm a thief. The year is 1790 and I'm 21 years old. I live in Britain and just recently they found a new world. The judge told me that I would be sentenced to 7 years in the colonies, along with 150 other convicts. It was better than being beheaded...I hope.

----5th week----
"Hey you!" One of the Guards called me out.

"What?" I asked.

"You're pretty." He said obviously drunk.

"Hey leave her alone!" One of the other convicts shouted.

"Tsk...shut your mouth before I shut it for ya." He said and then punched the convict.

"Hey you alright?" He asked me.

"Yes I'm fine. Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yea. My name is Chinen Yuri. What's yours?"

"I'm Akashi Haruna."

"Nice to meet you. What'd you do to get on this boat?" He asked.

"I stole 20 pieces of silver. What about you?" I asked.

"I stole 200 pounds. Cool huh?" He said jokingly.

"You might want to get that wound cleaned. It's not that clean on this boat." I said as I began to nurse his wound.

"Thank you." He said.

"You're welcome."

"So where are you sentenced?" He asked me.

"I'm sentenced to Virginia. What about you?"

"I'm sentenced to Maryland."

"Oh well that's a shame. I hope that after we serve our time we can be friends."

Eventually we became good friends and we began to talk about what we would do after we finished our 7 years and he said...

"Actually I would like to be more than friends." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I'm saying I love you and want to marry you in 7 years. What do you say?"

"Okay." I answered.

As soon as we got off the boat, we were separated and stayed that way for 7 years. In those years all I did was miss him. Before we left, we arranged to meet at the place we were dropped off on the 16 of May 1797. I was very excited.

Once the 7 years passed, I went to the place we arranged and he was there. He was there!

"Chinen!" I shouted as I ran over to him.

"Haruna!" He shouted as he accepted me into his arms.

"I missed you so much!" I shouted crying.

"I did too." He said as he hugged me tighter.

"I want to marry you." I said.

"Me too."

A few months later we got married and started our life together. We didn't go back to England, instead we stayed in America and started a family.

"What do you think you got from that time on the boat?" I asked.

"You."

"Besides me."

"Well At times we laughed at times we cried and that's how we earned everything one by one." He said.

"That's true." I said.

A/N: I changed up a few things but this is basically what happened to my 6th great grandparents. They stole things, met on the slave ship and before they got off they fell in love. This all happened in the late 1700s. Anyway thanks for reading and please feel free to comment and follow bye bye.
