Same thing with the last chapter, I don't own any characters accept for Emilia, the chapter is extremely short. Reviews welcome!
Ch. 2 - A Plan Executed
Two days is how long it took somebody to come up with a plan.
"I got it!" Tulio exclaimed, dropping to the floor to demonstrate. "In the dead of night, us three will grab provisions, hijack one of those longboats, and then we row back to Spain like there's no mañana!"
"All the way back?" Miguel asked, sounding only slightly hesitant.
"Okay, but how do we get on deck?"
"...In the dead of night, the three of us will grab provisions, hijack one of those longboats, and then we row back to Spain like there's no mañana." He replied, doing the exact same demonstration he did with the previous answer.
"You don't have a plan, do you?"
"No."
"Good, cause I have one." Emilia pulled the pouch of pesetas out of her corset, tossing it to Miguel. "In that bag is 300 pesetas and a rock of gold. We'll bribe the guard for the keys, get out, and execute the plan."
"300 pesetas!" Tulio asked incredulously, his eyes widening.
"More importantly, gold!?" Miguel opened the bag to check, pulling out a lump of gold the size of an apple seed.
"Yep, swindled a guy out of it today. Angry I'm doing better than you?"
"Oh, shut up and bribe him." She took the bag and stepped up on a crate, peeking out of the lower deck. "Pssst! Hey, over here!" Reluctantly, the guard got up and glared down at her. "How would you like to trade?"
"No."
"Wait, you haven't heard my offer yet! For the keys to the lock I will trade you 300 pesetas and a gold rock." His eyes widened at the gold, but he didn't seem to believe her. She dumped the bag out on their empty tray of food, displaying it. "What do you say?" After minutes of deliberation he left, and she thought he wasn't going to come back until the keys fell by her feet. To make sure they were real she unlocked the door, climbing out. "Well, that was easy." She rammed him in the stomach, pushing him overboard and almost falling over too.
"Grab a crate of food, let's go!" Tulio's plan went flawlessly, except for the rowing back to Spain part. They rowed for days, their arms and stomachs aching. They ran out of food during a storm when the boat flipped. Many times Emilia thought she saw something, but she never believed it.
"Miguel," Tulio said groggily. "You've made my life full of adventure."
"And you've made my life rich." Miguel sobbed.
"And you two have made my life depressing. We aren't going to die, come on and row!"
