Tetra's Log

Entry 1

This is the story of my life. Yelling at my lazy excuse for crew members, making sure Gonzo doesn't steer us into an island (trust me, I'm sure he's blind), and trying to get that dope Link to notice me. Being Tetra, captain of one of the most prominent ships in all of the Great Sea, isn't exactly a picnic. So let me tell you about this very "enjoyable" life I lead.

I walked down the halls below deck briskly, hoping to avoid Gonzo. It was his hour of break, so he wasn't up on deck "steering" the ship. Instead he was below deck, and I had a pretty good lead that he was stalking me. Because every once in a while I would turn around and see him tip-toeing on his oddly shaped feet; but then he would just say he happened to be walking by. What a liar!

Excuse me for rambling; I will get back to the point now. So I was trying to avoid him. But right now that didn't seem to successful.

"Hoy, Miss Tetra," came his dopey voice. Drat. I whirled around, my patience spent.

"WHY DO YOU KEEP FOLLOWING ME, YOU CREEP?!" I asked in a huff. "FOR THAT YOU GET LAUNDRY DETAIL!"

"He gets laundry detail?" came a voice. My eyes wandered to the end of the hall where Niko was standing. "Wahoo! Hello new laundry-man, goodbye dirty pirate underwear!"

I just rolled my eyes and walked past the immature babies. Niko would always use that line in some way or form. Ugh.

When I got on deck, I saw something that outraged me more than Niko's lame speech. Link was lying by a bucket of water, fast asleep. I had told him to swab the deck an hour earlier, but apparently he dozed off as soon as I left.

"LIIIIIINK!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

Link's eyes shot open wide, and he let out a little "mommy" before he got up and started to scrub. "I-I wasn't sleeping, Tetra, I was concentrating. 'Cause I…"

"I don't care," I interrupted bluntly. "What I DO care about though is that you haven't done yesterday's homework yet."

Link stared at me blankly. "What homework was that?"

I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh. What an oblivious little boy he was. I have no idea why I like him so much. "Ok, Link, for procrastinating and forgetting your homework, you get extra kisses."

"NOOO TETRA!" Link cried. "NOOOO KISSES!"
