I hope to read some more reviews from you readers!

Disclaimer: I own not the Misadventures of Flapjack.

Just as an eager young child would, Flapjack stared dramatically at the injured girl now passed out on Bubbie's tounge. With no help from K'nuckles, Flapjack and Bubbie had patched up the bleeding scar on her forehead. Silently, Flapjack began staring at her, never looking away for a second. Nearby, K'nuckles kicked back against one of Bubbie's large teeth, drinking maple syrup, bottle after bottle. He had no interest in saving whoever the girl was.

Flapjack became worried. "When do you think she'll wake up?" He asked aloud.

"It'll probably wake up when you stop staring at it." Answered K'nuckles sarcastically.

Although unnoticed, Bubbie expressed an angry look at the old sailor. "K'nuckles, you didn't help this poor child at all! All you care about is getting drunk on maple syrup." Her uvula shoot annoyingly.

"Drunk?" Said Flapjack in wonder, finally looking away from the girl. K'nuckles coughed slightly.

"Yes, honey. Being drunk is what happens to old men who have nothing else to live for, except for getting high-"

"You don't know what you're talkin about!" K'nuckles retorted angrily. "Maple syrup is a delicious and healthy beverage that only sailors can drink. And we know how to limit ourselves from drinking too much!" Wearily, K'nuckles attempted to stand from his seat, resulting in a loss of balance. He tumbled back down, letting out an "Uumph!". Flapjack giggled at the unusual sight.

"Mmm, hmm!" Bubbie scoffed, her hands at her waist. "You can't even stand up, you old drunkard."

Regaining strength, K'nuckles once again lifted himself from Bubbie's gums, leaning against her teeth for balance. His body swayed slightly. "See? I can stand!" He sneered. "Besides, shouldn't you be watchin yourself about what you say in front of Flapjack? The boy's too young to be hearin about things like this."

"My baby knows better than to drink something as unhealthy as Maple Syrup. Especially to the point where he can't stop!"

"I can stop any time, woman!!" K'nuckles was now yelling. In the midst of this one-on-one battle of alcoholic knowledge, Flapjack simply blinked with curiosity as a faint sound was heard next to him. Instantly turning around, he gasped in surprise as the almost forgotten girl laying beside him slowly cracked open her eyes, dazed by her injury.

"Captain K'nuckles! Bubbie!" Flapjack shouted excitedly. Instantly, the two ceased their argument.

"What is it, Flapjack? Can't you see we're in the middle of something?" Said K'nuckles, agitated by both Bubbie and over consumption of maple syrup.

"The girl! She's awake!" Flapjack replied, pointing down at the girl who's eyes were now fully open. Suddenly interested, K'nuckles hobbled over by Flapjack, keeping a distance from the stranger.

Tired and confused, she slowly sat up, staring wide-eyed at both the young and curious boy gazing at her intently, and the odd looking purple chap next to him. Her mouth dropped open as she studied her surroundings - the inside of a mouth. Surprised, she jumped up from her spot, trying to keep calm.

Flapjack suddenly turned to K'nuckles, smiling gleefully. "First impressions are always important!" He whispered excitedly. Turning back to the strange girl, he immediately noticed she had emerald green eyes.

"Hi, friend!" He greeted happily, holding out his arm. "My name is Flapjack. You have pretty eyes!-"

"Where the hell am I!?" The girl interrupted, uninterested in making a new friend. Slightly disappointed, Flapjack lowered his arm. "Who are you!? Am I being eaten!?''

"I'm guessing the lass doesn't know first impressions are important," K'nuckles whispered to Flapjack, chuckling with sarcasm.

Not finding the joke at all funny, the girl with red dreadlocks suddenly and swiftly pulled from behind her back a long, rusty Scimitar, waving it threateningly in front of Flapjack and K'nuckles. Shrieking in fear, they both stepped back, one hiding behind the other. Angrily, Bubbie opened her mouth, spitting out all three of them. "What is going on here? K'nuckles?"

"Why are you always looking at me?!" Cried K'nuckles. "It was her! The little girl holding a lethal weapon! She's trying to kill us!''

Gasping, Bubbie scooped up the confused Flapjack, placing him safely atop her head. "You better not be tryin to hurt my baby!" She shouted. "He's the one who saved your life!"

Still defensive, the infuriated girl held up her Scimitar beside her head. After hearing the whale's words, she lowered the blade slightly, though still keeping her guard up. "W-what are you talking...Agh!" Suddenly, she dropped the weapon, hands pressed against the patched wound on her head. She felt the bandages, becoming even more confused. She looked around - they were completely surrounded by water. She stood on an unfamiliar dock, nearby an unfamiliar harbor.

"W-where am I? What's going on?" She asked with less fury. Bubbie glanced at Flapjack, who glanced at K'nuckles, who was completely out of it.

Flapjack cleared his throat. "Uhm... you're in Stormalong Harbor," he replied. "I found you in an ally... You were sleeping on a dumpster, and your head was bleeding!"

The girl blinked.

"Soooo... I brought you here! And Bubbie and I fixed you!" Flapjack suddenly looked confused. "Don't you remember how you got here?"

"N-no... I don't remember anything..." The girl stuttered, feeling the wound on her forehead. "I can't... remember..."

A moment of silence passes.

"Well, I'm Flapjack!" He greeted once again, becoming enthusiastic. The cheerful lad sprang from Bubbie's head, feeling it was now safe. K'nuckles, however, still kept his distance. As the lad happily approached the disturbed child, he noticed K'nuckles slowly inching away from the scene. "Captain K'nuckles, come say hi to..." He paused. "Erm... what's your name?"

The girl's eyes snapped shut in distress, painfully trying to remember. Nothing came up. "I... I don't know..."

"It must be because you hit yourself on the head so hard," suggested Bubbie. "Child, how did you hit yourself so hardon the head?"

"Well I... I don't... I just... I, I DON'T KNOW!" The girl replied, becoming frustrated with herself.

The lad frowned, feeling sorry for the girl. "Well how am I gonna make a new friend if I don't even know her name?" Flapjack asked Bubbie, whom was quite confused herself. Suddenly, a flashing light bulb appeared over his blonde, overly enthusiastic head. "I know!" He exclaimed, "I can just give you a name!"

Flapjack thought it over, mumbling random names he thought were suitable. "Pancake...no, no... Muffin... Cupcake... hmmm..."

"Aphrodite."

The suddenly suggested name perked Flapjack's ears. He looked to the source - K'nuckles, whom was sitting comfortably on a nearby barrel while drinking a bottle of maple syrup. The old sailor took another sip, shivering at the strong, thick taste.

"Aphrowho?" Flapjack repeated, struggling to correctly pronounce the difficult name.

"It's Aphrodite, boy." Corrected K'nuckles. "The name comes from an old sea goddess, who was said to be born of the sea foam. But considering she was the goddess of love and beauty, I'm not so sure it would fit the lass so well after all..."

The girl stared at K'nuckles, slightly offended.

"But I can't pronounce that!" Complained Flapjack. After another moment of thinking, he snapped his finger in satisfaction. "I know - Dite! Just shorten the last part from Aphrowhatsit!" Completely proud of his selection, Flapjack twirled on his tip toes, singing aloud the name Dite as if it were a song.

Dite simply stared at Flapjack, although still frustrated and confused, couldn't help but crack a small grin at the boy as he gaily danced along the docks. K'nuckles simply rolled his eyes as he chugged the last bit of maple syrup he had left in the bottle. These people were obviousely not a threat, though she still felt slightly uncomfortable in her surroundings. What was this place? And how did she get here?

Meanwhile, a few hundred miles away, an inhumanly dark and powerful cloud formation slowly inched its way closer to Stormalong Harbor.

-

A/N: For all who don't know, Dite is pronounced "Die-tee".

I quite enjoyed writing this chapter, just because K'nuckles is so hilarious when he's mad.
