This is no ordinary story about any ordinary pirates that just happen to fall in love and so called 'live happily ever after'. No this my friends, is a great tale of Golden Abigail Whitman and Careless Nicholas Bowman .There journey to happiness was not easy. In fact they never did meet happiness, but they came very close. After going through hell and back fighting for a distant future there lives stand proud remembering the past. They were here to tell everyone about their great journey along the skyways we call life...
A tribal celebration was going to take place in Rapa Nui , that only happens every 50 years. Rapa Nui Just happen to be the home of Mormo, a water mole who worked upon Golden Abigail's cure. Abigail's honorary sister and brother were going to be at the celebration, so that gave more reason to go beside the point of Mormo.
"Party will be great fun captain! Many games, dancing, and special yum for all!" Mormo explained to Abigail as she steered the ship towards skull island skyway.
"I bet, but will the yum there be SAFE. You know what happens when witchdoctors like us drink the REAL stuff. Nothing good Mormo nothing good." Abigail replied to her loyal watermole.
"Yes yes, my people alway spiff it up with plenty of mojo potions to dilute it."
"That's good" Abigail said in relief. She heard stories about witchdoctors who had drunk REAL yum and had gone on killing rampages or some other insane things.
"Captain it be almost sun down. I can have Jack take over the night shift while we sleep if you want." Her first mate Bonnie Ann shouted as she walked out from below the decks with her so called boyfriend, Lucky Jack the dog.
"That would be nice if he didn't mind," Abigail said looking back at the two.
"I've been sleeping all day! It will be fine captain, go get some rest." Jack shouted at his captain walking over to take the wheel.
"Thanks Jack." Abigail said handing the wheel to him. "Mormo you better get some sleep to. Tomorrow we land and get ready for this large party of yours."
"Will do captain" Mormo said proudly.
With that Bonnie went to the captains quarters to get Abigail ready for bed. She started undoing the beautiful braids and ribbons that bound her hair up wonderfully. It was always sad for Bonnie having to take out the masterpiece she had woven that morning.
"Ouch!" Abigail yelped as Bonnie pulled too hard on her hair.
"Sorry captain forgot you were tender headed for a second." Bonnie said softly apologizing. "That should do it. Now you're ready for bed."
"Thanks Bonnie. Can you make sure everyone gets to bed early for me, I wanted to help the watermole tribe set up this celebration of theirs." Abigail said walking towards her bed.
"I will even if it means having to calm the hyperactive pets of yours," Bonnie said walking out of the captain's quarters.
Smiling to herself Abigail pulled out her book she was currently reading, a gift to her from her Aunt, or so adopted mom. Madam Vadima had rescued her as a baby on the shore of skull island, when she went on an earlier morning walk. She never knew why or how Abigail came to skull island on a piece of driftwood, but all she said was that when she left the house that morning she sensed something awful had happened cased by dark magic.
The book was beautiful! A red cover with engravings around the edges and corners, lined with strings of gold. She traced it with her finger along the front. This book was about a story about two pirates who had sailed the skyway together, one a privateer, the other a buccaneer. The romanced seemed to fuel the dreams she would have about her own true love. Of course he would HAVE to be a witch doctor like her or her Aunt wouldn't approve.
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Come in" Abigail shouted putting down the book.
Bonnie appeared sticking her head in the doorway so she would not interrupted her captains sleep."Everyone is settled in, and I was wondering if it would be ok if I helped keep Jack awake on the nightshift?"
"Yes you may. You two seem to keep each other awake all the time…" Abigail said in a joking way.
Bonnie then left the room before she could hear the joke, but it didn't matter to Abigail. She knew the two of them would get married on her ship someday.

"TIME TO WAKE-UP CAPTAIN!" Bonnie shouted bursting into Abigail's room.
"Oh but Bonnie! I was having a wonderful dream!"
"About what?" Bonnie asked drawing Abigail's bath.
"Our crew finding the third piece of that map that leads to a mysterious place no one knows about that Vadma gave me" Abigail said taking off her night dress covered with charms that keep nightmares away and evil spirits that suck the life out of you in your sleep. She had a plain white nightgown but she much rather wear that one.
"How long did it take us?" Bonnie asked in supiction.
"I'm not sure, all I remember is that we weren't alone." Abigail said dipping her toes in the bath Bonnie had drawn for her.
"Oh well sounds like fun. Did you want me to do your hair today?" Bonnie asked turned around so she couldn't see her captain.
"Yes if you would. Try making it look like a type of "hard working" hairdo since we're helping the watermoles set up their celebration." Abigail said now fully in the bathtub, bubbles covering her
"Of course captain" Bonnie said turning back around grabbing her captain's head of beautiful wavy brown hair.
Abigail always enjoyed her baths. They were even more enjoyable when she was alone in the warm water leaving her to think about life. As Bonnie washed her hair, Abigail could sit and think about her troublesome life.
The 15 year old witch doctor had been sailing the skyways for 3 years. Before then she grew up in Skull Island with her adopted mother Vadima. She had gone to a small one room school with a few other students, but soon quit to focus on spells Vadima would teach her. Abigail never made many friends but she had gotten to know some. She never knew what became of them, but she didn't really care about that. As Abigail grew she became social with fellow witch doctors, hoping one of them she would meet she would like. There was one she had been fond of though. He was the prince of the third kingdom of the underworld, and a very friendly witch doctor she had gotten to know. She had also met a witch doctor her age, but over the year she soon turned to insanity, and became isolated in a swap treehouse. The prince had been known to be forceful and selfish at times, but never around Abigail. She found it odd that people spread awful twisted rumors about him when he was just the nicest thing to her.
"So captain are we all going to the celebration?" Bonnie asked.
"I would encourage it but I won't force you to."Abigail replied. "Did you and Jack last all night driving the ship?" She then asked.
"Yes it was pretty tiring. I hope to get some time for a nap sometime today."
"LAND HO!" Jack yelled above deck.
"Thanks for doing my hair Bonnie but I think you better leave and help landing the ship I'll get dressed by myself." Abigail ordered Bonnie.
"Yes captain," Bonnie said leaving the room.
As Bonnie left Abigail to get dressed, Abigail could hear many shouts and screams and a big THUD up above. Her crew was an interesting bunch. She had a batucada and a sky snake for companions, which was odd for many crews. Once dressed in a nice witch doctor dress, Abigail walked out of the cabin to find her ship docked next to an unfamiliar ship she had never seen before. Right behind it was her honorary sisters and brothers ships.
Abigail had met Noble Anna Write, and Humble Kyle Lincoln in the skyways. They soon became close friends and called each other siblings.
"Captain Captain!" Mormo yelled from the docks of Rapa Nui his home.
"I'll be right down Mormo! On second!" Abigail yelled. "Ok what is it you wanted to tell me?"
"That ship next to ours, my people have gone on many crews across the skyways, I wanted to tell you that there will be more than just you and your siblings that will be at the party that are pirates.
"Oh I see. That's ok I don't mind."Abigail said under her breath. " Now let's get to decorating this town," She said changing the subject.
That was the last thing Abigail wanted, more pirates. She was known to get drunk easily just from yum mixed with mojo potions. At least she knew she wouldn't go on killing rampages.
"Captain they wanted help in the kitchen, I'm willing to go if you'll let me." Bonnie asked her captain.
"Yes go ahead. I can already smell that watermole cuisine!" Abigail shouted across to Bonnie as she grabbed streamers.
Tonight would be amazing! Abigail thought. She would see her brothers girlfriend for the first and meet up with her sister who she hasn't seen in what seems like forever. Afterward she would sail to see her mother in skull island who is still teaching to younger pirates. Nothing more nothing less, just party with the water moles and see your mother in the morning. THEN, you can go to your secret island where your house is and restock on supplies. Then you're on your way to find the third piece to the mysterious map your mother gave you. Simple straight and to the point.
Before she knew it, Abigail was done decorating and the sun was going down. As she walked back to her ship, she saw someone standing on the deck talking to a water mole. He looked to be a swashbuckler about as old as her or a year older. He had dark brown hair, almost black, that was messy and swept to the side, with deep blue eyes. He glanced at Abigail and looked back to his water mole companion. My was he attractive, Abigail thought. Her thought was interrupted by the post that hung her flag next to her ship.
"Ouch!" Abigail shouted not knowing that the guy was still looking at her.
"Are you ok miss?" The guy shouted at her.
"Yeah I'm fine" Abigail yelled in response. "Ish"
With that Abigail made her way to her room and sighed. No! She thought. This is not the time for distractions! You don't need any men in your life! Plus he's not even a witch doctor!
"Captain, want me to curl your hair?" Bonnie said walking in.
"Yeah that would be nice, would you also find my good dress. I feel like wearing something nice." Abigail said. If she was going to get wasted she wanted to look good doing it!
"Of course captain, just don't get too buzzed tonight. We need to refill the supplies by Monday, so if you getting drunk sets us back a day we might be without water for a day." Bonnie said getting the curlers hot.
"Yes of course Bonnie, I can't promise anything, you know" Abigail said laughing to herself.
"Right," Bonnie said laughing to.
Bonnie was soon done with Abigail's and her own hair they both looked great. Bonnie put something nice together for herself, to impress Jack, but Abigail was her true masterpiece.
She wore a dress that was low on her chest and sleeves were hanging below her shoulders. For a small framed girl she was pretty was a striped corset that showed off her curves a lot and hugged her body. The skirt was long, all the way down to her ankles. It was matching the color of the corset, pink and green of course! Her hair was curled and in a low ponytail, but her front hair was left out, framing her face perfectly.
"Ready to head out captain?"Bonnie asked.
"I'll be right out you and the rest of the crew go joy yourselves," Abigail said admiring herself in the mirror. Bonnie out did herself she thought. But she did look beautiful. She walked out of her cabin proudly,feeling amazing and pretty.
She glanced over to the town and saw a giant bonfire in the center with people and companions dancing around everywhere. There was Bonnie and Jack together, Mormo dancing with his fellow water moles, and her brother with his girlfriend. She didn't see the guy on the ship next to her though. That thought sadden her. NO she told herself. Look your brother and sister are here go say hello to them and don't worry about the guy you saw.
With that she walked off her ship and helped herself to a pitcher of yum, one sip and she could feel it intoxicating her head.
"Abigail! Her brother yelled hugging her.
"Oh Kyle it seems like forever! Now please introduce me to this beautiful young lady you have next to you here!" Abigail said demanding.
"This here is Faith the privateer." He said, sounding a little buzzed. "I met her helping an old friend then we talk and everything kinda went from their,"
"We'll it's nice to meet you Faith but I must be going sounds like he's a little buzzed," she left before she could respond. When her brother got drunk he always bragged and it was never fun.
She couldn't find her sister, after she took a few more sips of yum, so she just started looking for human shaped bodies. She thought she found her on top of a hill away from the party. As she got closer she was convicted it was her sister, but as she got closer the average person could tell it wasn't.
"Anna?" She said tapping the figures shoulder.
"Huh wha..." the figure said turning around to face Abigail. At that moment she knew who it was. The person she thought was her sister was the guy from the ship next to hers. Ugggg she did not want to see him after he witnessed her running into a pole.
"Oh sorry I thought you were someone else. Oh god this is really embarrassing, I'm so sorry." Was all Abigail mumbled. Ok it's not Anna now go walk away before he starts a conversation, she told herself.
"It's ok. Hey you're that girl that ran into the pole this morning." He said. His voice was calm and amusing to Abigail, playful and welcoming.
"Yeah that's me sorry you had to witness that whole accident. " Abigail replied to him. What was she doing! She was being pulled into a conversation! This is awful! She kept saying in her head.
"Care to join me for a drink? You seem like the type to get to know." He asked.
"Yeah sure, but first I gotta know your name" Abigail said playfully.
"Umm it's Parker, Parker Clark. What's your? And you're a witch doctor right?" Parker said.
"Oh yes a very true witch doctor, My name is HICCUP Abigail Whitman, thats Golden Abigail Whitman as I'm known as." Abigail said looking down at her cup seeing it was empty. Parker saw this and offered her a drink.
"Hey looks like you're out, care for some of mine?" Parker said luring her in.
"Yeah thanks that would be nice!" And without thinking straight she drank from the flask he pulled out of his back pocket. Little did she know that it was PURE yum. The rest of the night was a total blur.
