The Pirates Of Penzance

by LuciaBlackTheWolfWitch

Emma is let out of her indentures of piracy and sets about to destroy the crew she once loved. She falls for an innocent noble woman named Regina and protects her, her sisters, and her father from the raunchy pirates. They plan to battle when a technicality calls her back into her apprenticeship as a pirate where she must leave Regina and her family.

1. Out of My Indentures

The scene starts with pirate crew drinking, playing cards, and celebrating merrily. Their ship sailing the waters peacefully as the sun shone brightly and the baby blue sky was clear, not a cloud in the sky. A young blonde woman of 22 years sat a bit farther from the pirate crew her face despondent of any emotions.

"Land ho!" One of the crew shouted as they anchored to shore.

" Pour, oh, pour the pirate sherry;

Fill, O fill the pirate glass;

And, to make us more than merry,

Let the pirate bumper pass." The crew sang

"For today our pirate 'prentice

Rises from indenture freed;

Strong her arm, and keen her scent is

She's a pirate now indeed!" A handsome blonde man sang proudly as he clapped Emma on the back

"Here's good luck to Emma's ventures!

Emma's out of her indentures." The crew joined in

"Two and twenty, now she's rising,

And alone she's fit to fly,

Which we're bent on signalizing

With unusual revelry." The blonde man named Charming broke in once more.

"Here's good luck to Emma's ventures!

Emma's out of her indentures.

Pour, O pour the pirate sherry,

Fill, O fill the pirate glass;

And, to make us more than merry,

Let the pirate bumper pass." The crew sang

A tall thin but well built brunette woman with wild red streaks in her hair stepped out of the captains quarters and clapped Emma on the back wrapping an arm around her shoulder and pulled her to her side. "Yes, Emma, from today you rank as a full-blown member of our band." Ruby said proudly to Emma and her crew.

"Hurrah!" The crew cheered

"My friends, I thank you all, from my heart, for your kindly wishes. Would that I could repay them as they deserve!" Emma said with a bittersweet smile

The crew looked on confused "What do you mean?" Ruby questioned.

"Today I am out of my indentures, and today I leave you for ever." Emma told them.

Ruby's jaw dropped "But this is quite unaccountable; a keener hand at scuttling a Cunarder or cutting out a P. & O. never shipped a handspike."

"Yes, I have done my best for you. And why? It was my duty under my indentures, and I am the slave of duty." The crew groaned hearing Emma speak once more of her sense of duty. "As a child I was regularly apprenticed to your band. It was through an error - no matter, the mistake was ours, not yours, and I was in honour bound by it." Emma continued.

Charming frowned "An error? What error?" He asked, confusion evident in his voice.

Emma winced "I may not tell you; it would reflect upon my well-loved Ingrid" Emma said as an 47 year old blonde woman walked out of the crews quarters and settled next to young Emma.

"Nay dear master my mind has long been gnawed by the cankering tooth of mystery. Better have it out at once." The elder blonde said.
