Chapter 3
When Michael awoke all he heard was screaming and running. He rubbed his eyes and looked up to see everyone running about. As he tried to get up he was thrown over to the other side of the room.
"What the hell is going on?!" he yelled. At that moment he saw Terry J run up to him.
"We've hit a storm! And a bad one at that! Are you ok?" he asked him.
"Yes I'm fine." he said getting up. It was then when he remembered about Mary and Lilly.
"Mary! Lilly! Where are you?" he yelled.
"We're over here Michael!" Yelled Lilly from the bunks. He ran over and gave Lilly and Mary a big hug.
"You and Mary stay down here. I'm going up in deck to see if I can help." he said. Then he ran up on deck with Terry.
The storm was bad. Waves crashing against the side of the ship, pulling of cargo and supplies. Then Michael saw Eric struggling with pulling the sails down so he went over to help.
"Need a hand?" Michael asked him with a smile.
"Hah it would be appreciated yes." Eric said with a smirk. Then Michael went over and grabbed some of the rope that Eric was pulling to get the sails down. He gave it a mighty pull and it moved a bit. "Ok on the count of three pull with all your might! 1... 2... 3!" Erica yelled pulling the rope as hard as he could. At that moment the sails went down. They had done it. Michael turned too look at Eric and they both smiled at each other.
But then, a huge wave swept in and brought Michael down. He was about to be dragged off of the boat. Eric ran over to him and took his hand, yanking him away from the water. Then Eric held him tightly against him. Michael was so shocked that he just held onto Eric as well. After a few seconds Eric got up and helped Michael to his feet.
"We'd better get inside. We've done our part for now." Eric said patting Michael on the back. Then they went below and saw a women holding Mary (who was crying) in her lap while trying to calm her down.
"Is this your sister?" the women asked Michael.
"Uh yes. That is Mary and my other sister is Lilly." he said.
"Well then? What's your name? My name is Carol Cleveland." she said extending a hand out.
"Oh nice to meet you Carol. My name is Michael Palin. And this is my friend Eric Idle." he said while shaking her hand and pointing to Eric. Eric's face beamed at the sound of Michael calling him his friend.
"So are you here by yourself?" Eric asked her.
"No. I came with my friend Connie Booth. She'll be along any minute now." Carol said looking down the hall. At that moment a short, young blonde haired women came in.
"Hi I'm Connie." she said shaking Eric and Michael's hand.
" Hello I'm Michael Palin." he said.
"And i'm Eric Idle. Nice to meet you." Eric said. Then Connie told them that she was engaged to marry John Cleese once they got to Jamestown.
"Jamestown? So that's where were going!" Eric said with a smile. Michael was a little confused at why she would want to marry John. But he decided not to say anything about it.
Then Terry G came down the stairs from the main deck and went up to them.
"Everything is alright now! The storm had cleared and it's smooth sailing from now on! Hopefully haha." Terry said enthusiastically. Everyone cheered and went back to their bunk. Michael decided to take a short nap before anything else happened.
