I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.

Captain Jasper Hook smiled as he focused on a bowl of soup. *I'm starving* he thought. His eyes widened after he viewed two rats wandering by the bowl. Scowling, Jasper swatted them. He viewed the rats running before he trembled. He stood and went to Midshipman James Hook's chamber.

James smiled and rested on his bed.

Jasper continued to scowl. ''LAZY THING!'' he shouted. Jasper viewed James opening his eyes and sitting up.

''Jasper?''

''There are rats everywhere. Get rid of them,'' Jasper said.

Frowning, James got out of bed. ''You wonder why I'm always exhausted, Jasper,'' he muttered. James stepped out of his chamber. He still frowned.

Jasper turned his head. He gasped after he saw four rats by his younger brother's bed. Jasper scowled again. He chased the creatures out of the chamber. After pausing by the doorway, he walked to the bed. He fell on it and closed his eyes.

A few hours went by before Jasper woke up. His eyes became wide again after rats covered his entire body. Jasper turned to James as the latter stood by the doorway. He saw the latter's sudden smile. ''You forgot to get rid of other rats, James?'' His sibling's smile was the last thing he saw prior to rats covering his eyes.

The End
