Hi! This is my first time posting here, excuse any errors I make. I'm open for reviews and constructive criticism, so please tell me what you think. I've only seen Road to El Dorado once, so I apologize if the characters are a little OOC. The first three chapters will be short because I wrote them all in one day, but I'm going to spend more time on the others. I don't own any rights to the characters mentioned except for Emilia and anyone else I will create in later chapters. I also apologize for the lack of good plot in these, they are mostly just building up to something else that I don't really know yet, as I'm making this up as I write it.
Ch. 1 - A Circumstantial Reunion
She hopped from rooftop to rooftop, sliding down shingles onto the busy street.
"See ya later, Slick!" She ducked into an ally, her fiery red hair disappearing into the darkness. A man appeared out of nowhere, almost knocking her off her feet. The man caught her, correcting her balance.
"Watch out! Why are you running?" The large man she'd just swindled burst out of the crowd.
"It gets me places. Gotta go, Sweets." She wrestled her way out of his grip and made the quickest escape she could, diving into a box full of apples on the dock. She closed the lid and decided to wait until she was sure the search had died down before leaving. Strangely, she felt like she was moving. While she was waiting she hid the money in a secret pocket under her corset. Counting to three, she burst out of the crate, finding herself surrounded by burly men on a ship. She was dragged into the captain's quarters, kicking and biting all the way there.
"Ah, so you are the delinquent who stole from one of my men. Emilia, is it? Well, we don't take kindly to stowaways." The voice growled. When Cortes stepped out of the shadows she bust out laughing at his hair.
"Yeah, okay Shirley." Emilia rolled her eyes. His nostrils flared.
"Into the dungeon." Cortes ordered.
"Really? I will battle you!" She proposed, but she was dragged off anyway. Soon after, two other people were thrown in, one of which looked vaguely familiar.
"What are you in for?" The dark haired one asked, leaning against the wall.
"Sneaking on the ship, although I would call it more of a kidnapping." The blonde's head snapped up.
"Emilia? I thought you were in England?"
"I thought the same of you, Starshine." They hugged, not having seen each other for years.
"So you're the one I fenced before. I want a rematch." The one she now recognized as Tulio frowned, crossing his arms.
"I won fair and square, Ponytail."
