Zelda started laughing. She started kissing him back.
Zelda and Ben were walking around the city on Connie. They were heading to an old wearhouse to reload on rum.
A dark skinned, kind of chubby guy, around Zelda's age, walked past them. He recognized Zelda. He knew her at one time. They were younger then. "Zelda Samara Griffen," he said, turning back to her and Ben.
Zelda looked at him and she remembered him. She thought that he had died and was surprised to see him again. "Zack? Dude, I thought you were dead. It's been a long time since I seen you."
Zack laughed. "I wish I could say the same about you, but everywhere I turn there's a wanted posture with your face. So, you're still a pirate, huh?"
"Yep." Zelda smiled as Ben walked over to them. "By the way, Zack, this is my husband, and first mate of my crew, Ben."
Zack shook Ben's hand. "It's nice to meet you, man."
"See, Zack was on Ryoko's crew," Zelda told Ben. "He was my brother from another mother if you can't tell." She started to talk to Zack again. "So, are you still a pirate?"
"Actually, no. I'm working as a bag boy at the Speed Bucks," Zack admitted.
Zelda took it as a joke. "I remember that great since of humor that you have. You'd always had everyone laughing."
"Baby," Ben said, not laughing, "I don't think that he's joking."
Zelda was still laughing. "Of course he is. Right?"
"Actually," Zack admitted, "I'm not."
Zelda slowly started to realize that Zack wasn't joking. "Oh my gosh, you're not. But why?"
"Because," Zack started to say, "I decided that years ago, after fighting those bounty hunters, and then finding out that Ryoko was killed, that it wasn't worth trying to live. I was tired of trying to save my own life, it just wasn't worth it. I'm sorry, but I don't want to worry if I'm going to killed or not. I have a job now that I don't have to worry about getting killed, and it's a good job too. Sorry, Zelda."
Zelda acted like she didn't hear anything that Zack said. She wanted him to become a pirate again. "I want you to join my crew, Zack."
"Didn't you hear what I just said? I'm sorry, Zelda, but no."
Zelda was disappointed. "Come on. Please," she begged. "It could be like old times."
"No."
"But you're the Zackanator and you'll be back," she said, deepening her voice at the end.
"I'm a bagboy, not a pirate anymore." Zack started to walk away.
Zelda went after him. She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the White Rose.
Ben followed behind.
Zack tried to get free but Zelda's grip became tighter and her nails started to dig into his skin.
"You're joining my crew, like it or not," she told him.
"Girl, you can't be serious."
"Oh she's serious."
Zelda noticed the Black Valvet was right next to the White Rose. She stopped, took off her Scooby-Doo bandana, and tied it around both of Zack's hands. She made sure that it was too tight for him to get free. "Good, Olivia's here. Ben, bring Zack to the ship and have Peter Pan show him around the ship. Then meet me at the Black Velvet."
"Okay, Zelda."
Zelda went toward the Black Velvet, while Ben and Zack went to the White Rose. Getting Rum
John was getting mad at Will because Will was flirting with Olivia. Olivia wasn't flirting back, mostly because her boyfriend was right there, and partly because she didn't like him.
Zelda walked onto the Black Velvet and walked over to them. "What's going on?" she asked.
"Will's flirting with me and that's making John jealous." Olivia kind of did like the idea of two guys fighting over her. "Did you get the rum yet?"
"No. We had two delays.... Now, tell me why Will is flirting with you in front of your boyfriend?"
Olivia didn't know the answer to that at all. "I don't know, but can you tell him to stop?"
"Why do I have to tell him to stop?" Zelda hated being the one to solve problems. She didn't like solving her own problems. She was the one who caused problems. She didn't want to solve them. "He's not flirting with me. You should tell him to stop, or tell your boyfriend to tell him to stop, and I think that John will give him a reason." She knew that John would kill Will if he was given a chance.
Olivia didn't want to tell John because she also knew that John would kill Will. "But then, John will hurt him."
"Exactly."
Will walked over to them and they grew quiet before he found out what they were talking about. "Zelda," he asked, "can I talk to you for a second?"
Zelda was confused. She didn't know what to do. She hoped that Ben would show up and that way if Will tried anything, Ben would kick his butt. "Ye-ah, sure."
Zelda and Will walked away from John and Olivia. He didn't want them to hear what was going on, Will really didn't want John to hear. "Look I like you and Olivia," he admitted to Zelda, "but you're already married, and you're water, and I'm fire, so we won't fit together."
Zelda looked at him kind of funny. It was almost like he was braking up with her but they never were dating. She was confused and had no idea what was going on.
"Now, me and Olivia are both fire, so we're a perfect match," Will paused, "except the fact, that she has a boyfriend. I want your help to break them up, so that way I can get Olivia."
Zelda understood now what he was talking about. She didn't want to brake up Olivia and John. Then, that would of met that she went through all that trouble to get them together for nothing. That kind of made her mad at the thought. "Um, dude, that's not going to happen."
"And why not?"
"Because I'm the one who hooked them up."
"Crap." Will wasn't expecting to hear that. Now, he felt like an idiot.
"Now," Zelda said, walking over to Olivia and John, "if you excuse me, I have to go talk to Olivia."
Ben was now on the deck of the ship. He walked over to zelda and put his arm around her. "Ready to go get some rum?"
"Of course. You two are coming with us," Zelda told Olivia and John.
"Okay," Olivia agreed.
Zelda, Ben, Olivia and John were going to get rum. Ben and John were walking a head of Zelda and Olivia.
"What did Will say?" Olivia asked.
"Well," Zelda said, thinking of how to word it, "he likes you and me, but because I'm married he said that he's going to leave me alone. You, on the other hand, he said that he'll go after you. He wants me to help him break up you and John. But I told him no.
Olivia couldn't believe what she just heard. She was shocked. "He wants to break up me and John?"
"Yep, but can we talk about something else?"
"okay. How did you have two delays today getting rum?" Olivia asked. She figured that Zelda wouldn't let anything stop her from getting rum. "You're the kind of person that has to get rum right away. You wouldn't care what's going on."
Zelda smiled. "Well, the first time," she started, trying to figure out the right words to say, "me and Ben were in our room talking and one thing led to another and...." She purposely didn't finish the sentence.
"And what?" Olivia was confused. She didn't know what Zelda was trying to imply.
"Let's just say that there's secrets that you can tell your friends, and others that should be kept to one's self." Zelda left it at that.
Olivia realized what Zelda was talking about and dropped her mouth. "Okay. What was the second delay?"
"We ran into Zack."
"Who's Zack?"
Zelda couldn't believe that Olivia forgot who Zack was. "You remember Zack from Ryoko's crew?"
"Oh. You mean the guy that you use to hang out with?" Olivia asked, kind of remembering Zack.
"Yep." Zelda nodded. "He's not dead. He's not a pirate anymore either. He's a...." She was ashamed to finished the sentence. She started to cry. "Bagboy."
Olivia laughed. She didn't believe it. "He's a bagboy? He's pulling your leg. I remember his sense of humor."
Zelda looked at Olivia with tearful eyes. "It's not a joke."
Olivia realized that Zelda wasn't joking. Her eyes started to get watery as well. "You mean he's really...."
"Yep. But I'm going to turn him back into a pirate," Zelda told Olivia with high hopes that it'll work.
"Good luck with that." Olivia was trying to be encouraging to Zelda.
Zelda, Olivia, John, and Ben were in an old wearhouse, getting rum. The place needed to be condimmed because it was the oldest building on the planet.
Leo and Russel arrived out of no where.
They were going to finish their job. "Hello, pirates," Russel said.
Zelda turned around holding a crate filled with full rum bottles. The box looked too heavy for Zelda to try and carry, but that didn't stop her. She was okay as long as she had her rum. "Hello, bounty hunters."
Russel pulled out his sword and aimed it toward Zelda. "Now, I can finish what I started."
Zelda dropped the crate, which missed her feet, and pulled out her sword. "Whatever you say, Grandma Rosie?"
Zelda's words ticked off Russel. "That's it. Say hello to Ryoko for me."
They started sword fighting. Leo, Olivia, John, and Ben just watched as their blades hit one another.
"YOU SHOULDN'T OF SAID THAT!" Olivia called to Zelda.
"She's Zelda, she's going to say whatever," John reminded Olivia.
Olivia couldn't argue with him. She knew that he was right. "Good point."
Ben worried about Zelda. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her. He loved her too much to let something bad happen to his wife. "I can't stand this. She coud get hurt." Ben pulled out his sword and jumped into the fight.
"What are you doing?" Zelda asked Ben. "I can protect myself."
