Welcome! This firt time will be on Delbert and Amelia's first real conversation. We all know how they met, but what was their first actual talk about? Well, read and find out.
Thank you, Mister Hawkins. Amelia thought as she walked down one of the ships many halls. That blasted Long John Silver and his pet just wouldn't leave me alone...
"This damn suit! Never again will I fall victim to that pushy, two-headed saleswoman!" said a voice.
Amelia's ears perked up. She knew that voice.
Ah, Doctor. She thought. What fun might you provide me now? Wait, Amelia, are you stalking him for fun? What? No! It's all for fun...Right?
She shook her head. She decided to listen to the doctor some more.
"I made a total fool of myself today. Well, atleast it wouldn't be the first time. Sniff, Sniff What the hell?" Delbert said.
Amelia was sad that he felt this way and confused. What was that sniffing sound for? She got her answer sooner than expected when Delbert stepped out of his room to find himself looking right at the captain.
Ah, Fuck! She thought while giving Delbert a startled look. He sniffed me out! Woah, wait a second. Delbert actually looks rather dashing without that stupid su-Stop! Since when is he Delbert?
She was taking out of her thoughts by Delbert who was staring at her wide eyed and mouth agape.
"I-I-uh...Captain! W-What are you doing d-down here?"
"Is it illeagal for a Captain to go into a hallway of her ship?" Amelia asked with a slender eye brow rising to end it.
"Well, uh, I guess not, but uh why were you standing at my door?"
"I-uh I came to...apolagize! Yes, er, I mean I came to say I'm sorry for making fun of you."
"Oh. Well, it's quite alright. It's-uh not the first time, and I doubt that it'll be the last."
Amelia gave him a look of shock as he said this. He looked down, and turned red as he realized what he said.
"Well, Doctor, I'm sorry to hear that. If you need any help with those people I'd be glad to lend a hand." She added that with a smirk as Delbert realized what she said, and looked up with shock.
He looks so cute when he-STOP IT! Delbert-The Doctor is just another financier. Nothing more.
"Well, um, thank you, Captain. Well, I-I guess you have some work or something to do-"
"Actually, Doctor, I'm not doing anything now." Ameila said before she could stop herself. It's just she REALLY wanted to stay and talk with him. Delbert was standing there completely dumb-founded. He was so confused. First, she made fun of him, and now she was trying to well he didn't know what!(Come on now, girls. Don't deny it. We've all done this to the boy we like. Especially if he's like Delbert.)
Women! He thought. I'll never understand them!
"W-Well, if you say so. Um, would you l-like to come in?"
Amelia gave him a small nod, and entered his small room. It wasn't much. In one corner was the bathroom, and in the other was a bed. Amelia saw a small shape under the blanket on the bed. Curiosity took her over and she went over to the form.
"Oh! Um, Please don't-" Delbert tried but was to late. Amelia lifted the cover to reveal a small harp. She gasped. She never really knew a man that could play before.
"I-I um. Well you see-it's...It's a hobby..." Delbert said. He looked at Amelia who was looking at the instrument with interest.
"Doctor, I didn't think you played. Do you think you could play a little...for me?"
Delbert turned red. He never played in front of someone before.
"Well, I-I-I guess. I could strum out a t-tune."
He picked up the instrument with great care, and positioned it.
"You'll have to excuse me. I'm not very good."
He then strummed out a wonderful and enchanting tune.
"Well, um. th-that's it." He waited for the criticism.
"That was beautiful. I always loved music. In fact, I play the piano-" She stopped herself. She looked at Delbert who was just as stunned that she was now acting less like a captain, and more like Amelia.
"Ahem, well that was very good, Doctor." She returned to her Captain act. She was startled that she had let Delbert see that side of her. Only her family knew that side, and no one else. He nodded, and was obviously confused.
"Well, thanks. Maybe you could play for me one time-" He stopped and bit his tongue. "I mean only if that's okay with you. Although, I'm sure you don't just do that for anyone, so I completely understand if you don't want to. By all means, you don't have to. I was just trying to be nice, and it accidently slipped out. I guess I just wasn't thinking. That seems to be happening alot though. So I-"
"Doctor! Please calm down. Just take a deep breath in. I'd be happy to return the favor, and maybe play for you. It just so happens I brought my keyboard along to keep me busy, but it seems I'll have an audience." Amelia interupted. "Now if you'll excuse me. My break seems to be over, and I have to get back to work."
Delbert nodded and stood up to open the door.
"Yes. Ofcourse, Captain."
He opened the door for her and she gave a greatful smile.
"Why, Doctor, I had no idea you were such the gentleman." She said teasingly. He turned red.
"Well, I-I guess. If-If you put it that way."
Amelia walked out of the room, and turned around as she exited to say something else. What did happen was she turned around and Delbert was right there, so they ended up touching noses. They both took a step backwards when it happened.
"Um. Good night, Doctor."
"G-Good night."
That's it. The next one will be up in a while. R&R. Bye.
