“Zelda, wake up.”
“But I don't want to.... I'm tired.”
Ryoko kind of eyed Zelda then glanced over at a digital clock which they had took from Zelda's old house. “It's twelve O' clock in the afternoon and besides today's the day that we're finally going to get a ship and leave this stupid planet. You know what that means?”
Zelda shot up with excitement. “More rum?”
Ryoko looked over at Zelda and shook her head. “No.... Well yea.... But no, that's not what I'm talking about.... We're going to start gathering a crew after we get off this planet.... We're pirates and it's time to leave this place.”
“Oh.”
Ryoko stood up and walked out of the little house. She looked around and smiled. She thought about how she wasn't ever coming back to this dreaded planet.
Zelda walked out on the porch and leaned against the railing and looked into the woods.
“This is it, Zelda,” Ryoko said. “No more dealing with this evil planet and all the evil that's happened from those dumb bounty hunters. They're worst than vampires. They're not just thirsty for blood but also enjoy watching people suffer. No more.” Ryoko looked up into the blood red sky. “Time to go. Get everything we need.... Weapons.... Food....”
“Rum?”
“And rum.”
Zelda rushed into the house. Ryoko waited a few minutes before going back inside to help Zelda gather everything that they needed. Leaving Blaze
Ryoko and Zelda were over by the docks. The water by the docks looked more like lava than water. Ryoko looked over at the ships as Zelda looked down into the water. Ryoko noticed this blue and silver ship that she couldn't take her eyes off of. It was a beautiful ship and she was going to get it. She pulled out a bag of gold and counted it in her hands. She was going to actually buy it. “Come on, Zelda. I found our ship.”
“Okay.”
Ryoko and Zelda made their way over to the ship dealer to purchase the ship. The man, who worked at the dock was selling the ship for less than three hundred. “Can I bargain with you for that ship?” Ryoko asked, pointing to the blue and silver ship.
“That one.... There's no need,” the man replied. “I only want two hundred for it.”
Ryoko looked at the ship it was beautiful but not that beautiful. “How 'bout a hundred?”
“Ah....” The man thought about it. “A hundred and fifty?”
“A hundred and I'll throw in....” Ryoko took a bottle of rum from Zelda.
“HEY!”
“This bottle of rum?”
The man thought about it. “Deal.” They shook on it.
Ryoko handed the money and the bottle of rum to the man.
“She's all yours kid.”
“Alright. Come on, Zelda.”
“Yes, Captain Ryoko.”
The two girls made their way over to the ship. The name of the ship was painted on the side of the ship in beautiful gold letters. The Blue Ram was the name of the ship. “Come on. Let's untie the ship and get off this planet,” Ryoko told Zelda.
Once on the ship, they both decided to explore and see what was on the ship. They heard something trying to growl at them. They turned around to find a baby bear. The little bear cub looked like someone had tried to paint him blue. He had a white belly and there was white around his little black nose, but the rest of him was blue.
“Awe,” Ryoko said. “He's so cute and he must be the animal for this ship.” She sat on her knees and went to go to pet him, but he backed away in fear. “It's okay, little guy. I don't want to hurt you.” She laid out her hand to let him know that it was okay.
“What's his name going to be?” Zelda asked.
Ryoko looked at him. She wanted his name to match the color of his fur. He looked like he was a polar bear and she had and idea. “Not Icy.... Not Freezy.... Not Minty.... How 'bout Winter?”
“Winter?” Zelda asked, smiling. “I think it's cute.”
“Okay.” Ryoko looked at the bear and picked him up. “Your name is Winter, because you look like a winter bear.”
Winter titled his head as if he was trying to figure out what Ryoko was. His little, beady, black eyes made him look like a teddy bear.
Ryoko placed the bear down and stood up. “Now, it's about time we left this planet in search for a crew. Don't cha think, cuz?”
“Aye-aye, captain.”
Olivia had broke out of jail and snuck into a dark ally. She had made her escape and she was ready to get some where's away from the prison. She couldn't go home. She needed to leave the planet.
“LEO!” Princess Magma called. She was extremely ticked off about something and obviously it had something to deal with Leo.
“Yes, princess,” Leo said.
“How come there's pirates on the front page of this news paper? It's suppose to read.... Princess Magma is throwing a ball and only people with invitations are invited.... Why am I reading about pirates instead?”
“Um.... Um....”
“What's going on, Magma?” Queen Lizabeth asked, walking into the room.
“I should be on the front page of this paper.... But instead, it's talking about pirates, which should be put to death by,” Magma stated as she pointed to Leo, “him and his men.”
“Let me see that.”
Magma handed the paper to Lizabeth and the queen read the paper and became angry by it.
“Pirates are more important than my daughter, Leo?”
“No, your highness.”
“Then why are they on the cover of this paper instead of Magma?”
“I don't....”
“One-Eye Nick and his crew are on this planet.... Find and kill them.... And then threaten the news paper company....”
“Yes, your highness.” Leo left the room.
“Come with me, Magma. Your father is waiting in the throne room for us.”
A few days had pasted, the Blue Ram had landed on Bull Ridge. Ryoko tied the ship up to the dock as Zelda made her way toward the shore, holding a bottle of rum. Once Ryoko was done, she made her way over to her cousin.
“What's the plan, captain?” Zelda asked.
“Well, we need to start looking for people to recruit. Come on.”
They walked around looking for someone, who they could take into their crew.
Olivia was wearing a long coat to hide her out fit and had stolen a pair of shoes in place of her old, torn up shoes. She also wore sunglasses to cover her eyes and baseball cap to cover her face. When no one was looking, she stole a hotdog from a hotdog stand and walked away.
“I saw that,” an older girl said to her.
Olivia looked around, hoping that girl was talking about someone else.
“Yea.... I'm talking to you.”
Olivia was confused. “Me?” she asked, pointing to herself.
“Yea.... You.”
“What? You going rat me out to the police because I stole a hotdog?”
The girl was quite for minute, then she let out a sigh. “No.... That would make me a hypocrite.... You see, I do the same thing.”
“Who are you?” Olivia asked. “Why are you talking to me?”
“Before I answer your questions.... I want you to answer a couple for me.”
“What?”
“What's your name?”
“Olivia Lander.”
Another girl walked out of the darkness, holding a bottle of rum, laughing. “Lander? Olivia Lander? What kind of name is that?”
Olivia kind of started to get mad.
“Don't mind her,” the older girl laughed. “She drinks too much....”
“Hey.... Look.... A flying pig....”
Olivia started to look around, confused.
“Sorry.... She hallucinates after drinking too much.”
“Wait.... He's leaving me.... Wait for me....” the younger girl started to walk away but the older one grabbed her arm, pulling her back. “I have to go....”
“No.... He'll come back.... He always comes back.”
“But....”
“Forget it.... Okay?”
“Fine.”
“Okay.... Now do you....”
“I GOT IT!” the younger girl exclaimed. “I'm going to call you Olivia Newton-John.... You know.... That one girl who was in that one movie with that one guy and they sing....” Once she finished talking, she pasted out and fell back.
The older girl just looked at her. “Then that happens....” She looked at Olivia and kind of smiled. “Anyways.... Do you have any family members that are still around?”
“Yea.... My parents, but they disowned me a long time ago,” Olivia answered.
The girl nodded. “Good, and that's all the questions I wanted to ask you.... To answer yours, I'm Captain Ryoko Griffen, and that's my first mate and cousin, Zelda Griffen.”
“Oh....” Olivia thought about it for a minute. “You're pirates?”
“Yep.... We're alone too.... We're orphans.”
“Oh.”
“Yea.... And we're here looking for a crew.... Would you like to join? Become a pirate girl?”
Olivia thought about the question and decided that it would be a good idea. “Yea.... Sign me up.”
“Good.... Now for the first mission.... Is help Zelda get up.”
“Okay.”
Ryoko and Olivia walked over and picked up Zelda.
While they were on they're way back to the ship, Zelda finally woke up and started walking herself. “So, where we going now?” she asked.
“Back to the ship,” Ryoko answered.
“Oh.... Goody.... Because I need more rum.”
“Of course.” Ryoko looked up at the docks and noticed that there were bounty hunters all over the place. “Oh crap.”
“What?”
“Bounty hunters.... We can't leave.... Or we're dead.... We can't go back to the ship yet.”
“But we have to go to the ship.... I'm going to go crazy without rum.”
“Zelda,” Ryoko said, “you're my cousin and I love you, but you're crazy when you have rum....”
“But what about Winter.... He's going to cry,” Zelda started to say, crying, “because he's going to miss us.”
“Who's Winter?” Olivia asked.
“You'll find out when you meet him.”
“Okay.”
“Zelda, Winter'll be fine.... He can take care of himself.... We need to get away from here for now before the bounty hunters see us and start attacking.... Now, come on.”
All three girls backed away until they reached the city and as soon as they turned around they noticed a bounty hunter, who was standing behind them. The man was the one who Ryoko promised herself she would no longer call her father.
“Ryoko,” the man said.
“Leo.”
The two of them eyed each other in anger.
