Chidori: ...I SHALL CONTINUE THIS STORY! I had my phone open to my e-mail yesterday, and it kept beeping. New reveiws, new favorites, new follows! I was like, "I love these guys!" Oh, and just a quick pointy-out thingy...Their Neckercheifs mean they're high ranking command on the ship.
And I also feel the need to tell you guys; I have no idea what the heck you do to keep a ship running, so I'm still reserching that stuffz...^^"
Disclaimer: I don't own the Story, the plot, but i DO own Pokemon and the characters! Oh, Wait...That's supposed to be reversed. I don't own POKEMON or the CHARACTERS, but i DO own The STORY and the PLOT!
~Chapter 2~
"Explain." Drew demanded. Leaf and Dawn looked down at the ground, their hands clasped behind their backs.
"Um, well, you see…" Dawn started.
"We're, uh…We might just be…" Leaf began.
"Spit it out already!" Drew spat.
The two girls exchanged looks before looking back at Drew.
"We might, possibly, kind of….We're broke…" They hung their heads as Drew gave a choked gasp.
"We're what now?!"
"It's all Dawn's fault!" Leaf exclaimed, "You shouldn't have put her in charge of our money!"
"What?! No way, it's all your fault!" Dawn shot back.
"Just explain what happened!" Drew roared angrily.
~One long, insane explanation in which Dawn and Leaf try to shove the blame onto the other later~
"I don't know what to do with you two." Drew groaned, sliding a hand down his face.
"You could pretend you never found out?" Dawn suggested.
"Too bad, girls." Drew snapped. "Hand over your neckerchiefs." He held out his hand, looking pointedly at the two girls.
"WH—what?!" Leaf asked, taking a step back.
"For your punishment, you're going to spend some time as regular crew members. Leaf, you're on kitchen duty. Try not to burn the ship down. Dawn, you get to scrub the Bloody Rose down, every inch of it. And when you two aren't working on these new duties, you'll be checking up on Maybelle." Drew smirked. "You'll also be changing cabins."
Dawn had anime-tears running down her face.
"ANYTHING BUT CLEANING!" She wailed.
"Neckerchiefs." Drew demanded. Sulking, the girls undid their status symbols and then ran out of the room.
Drew let out a weary sigh and sunk into his chair.
"If this ransom is refused, we're done for."
May sat on the bed in her "room." Her ankle had been wrapped, and her burns had been treated.
"Well, this is boring…" She mumbled. A scratching sound came from the walls and she instinctively shrunk back.
"Ewww! This ship has rats?!" She wailed as loud as she dared, (That purple headed boy had already come in and yelled at her for being 'too loud.')
"Rreow!" An odd, animal-like sound huffed from the wall. May blinked.
"That didn't sound like a rat…In fact, that sounded more like a…!" She cut herself off as a small, sleek bluish/gray head popped out of a hole in the wall near the baseboard.
"Rrrreow!" The cat purred, stepping out of the hole and stretching luxuriously.
"Hello, kitty…What are you doing in here?" May asked cautiously.
The cat turned its piercing cobalt eyes towards her, looking almost confused. She took a cautious sniff of the air, before leaping up on the bed beside May and curling up.
"Oh…! Do you like me? I like you…You're very pretty." May said as she stroked the cat.
"The ransoms been refused. And thanks to those two morons, we're broke. Anyone got any ideas on what we do now?" Drew asked, running his hand through his hair.
"….Just wondering, but where are "Those to Morons"?" Misty asked.
"Working." Drew replied.
"Working? Working on what?" Gary asked.
"Cleaning the Bloody Rose for Dawn and Kitchen duty for Leaf."
"You put troublesome in charge of cleaning the ship?" Paul growled.
"Aww, is wittle Paulie worried about wittle Dawny?" Ash joked.
"Shut up." Paul grunted.
Ignoring the two, Misty turned towards Drew.
"Alright, if we're broke, then we can't afford to keep the girl. We've got to get rid of her." Drew nodded.
"I figured that much." He let out a heavy sigh. "Alright, I'll be right back."
A loud gasp roused May from her light sleep. Leaf and Dawn stood still, eyes trained on the gray cat, who was contentedly curled up next to the brunette. Standing by the two girls feet, were two cats.
One was pure white, with large blue eyes, and the other was a light golden tabby with deep auburn orbs.
"You got Glacier to come up to you?" Leaf asked.
"Um…If Glacier is the cat, then yes."
"Glacier normally stays out of sight; she's never approached a crew member or even the other cats before." Dawn explained.
"Yeah, look, even Pip and Solana are shocked!" Leaf pointed at the cats standing next to them.
"How many cats do you have?" May asked, furrowing her brow.
"Um, well…There's Pip and Solana and Glacier, then there's Raid and Forest and Onyx, and then Pikachu and Delta! So that's eight cats!" Dawn counted the cats off on her fingers.
"And each cat belongs to one of the seven high ranking crew members, Me, Dawn, Misty, Gary, Paul, Ash and Drew. Glacier we just count as belonging to Drew, as she doesn't really like anyone else."
"Why are you two explaining cats to her instead of doing your work?" A venomous voice snarled from behind the two girls.
"D-Drew! Um, well…look! May got Glacier to come to her!" Dawn stuttered. Drew narrowed his eyes.
"Leave." He snarled, placing his hand on the handle of his sword.
"What are you going to do to May?" Leaf asked cautiously.
"The ransoms been refused, and we're broke. What do you think I'm going to do? Now leave!"
The two girls were helpless to do anything, and reluctantly left the room, their cats following.
Drew shut and locked the door behind them, before drawing his sword and stepping towards the girl on the bed.
He raised his sword, and—
The girls' terrified screamed echoed around the boat. Wincing, Leaf buried her head in Gary's chest.
Paul noticed Dawn's tears and awkwardly patted her head, only to have the bluenette bury her head in his chest.
Chi: :P Who wants to kill me for that little cliffy there? C'mon, Be honest! :D Anyways...
