Finally Avery returned just like he said he would. Realising them all. He looked Alton over. His brother had grown so much since he had last seen him 37 years ago.
He no longer seen the young quite sickly boy he left at home. Same wiht Scarlet she didnt seem so much as the rebel rouser she was back then. "Now your turn to be free Avery." Alton smurked. the group made there way into a secret entrance that Avery knew of.
"So uhh.." Huggins began.. "what about the others?" "Ariah!" Scarlet nearly shouted remembering her best friend. "I herd James say he was keeping a few on the ship in the brig." Avrey said to his daughter. "I hope so .. Jim owes me a hundred dollers for my blowed up engine." She said jokenly.
"Scarlet!" Bethany Scolded . "what He does." Scarlet shrugged. "Still thats horible to say Scarlet!" "Only in your eyes Bethany. " "Everythingyou say is offensave!" "than dont listen."
"Are they always like that?" Avery whispered to Alton. "Every single time." "Reminds me of us." "Really?" "Very much so. you were always annoying." "Me? Annoying? Hardly."
Once back on the ship i seemed everyone of the Cadets and hawkins and the dopplers. were in the Brig. "I have an Idea...but it might get messy.." Scarlet started refering to the gaurds. "Oh no you dont Scarlet." "How do you mean Beth?" "Anything that starts wiht you and ends with messy is hardly a good thing."
"Why dont be such a pink poodle Beth." "Dont be a mutt Scarlet!" "why you-" "Okay! Jeez you guys are like adults." Rebecca snapped. "Uh so are you Becca." "Yeah... but your like 37 Scarlet." "and..." "Anyways" Alton cut in before it got crazy and they were found. "We could use this tear gas ?" Rebecca offered pulling it out of her pocket.
"why do you have tear gas in your pocket Rebecca?" Amelia said almost in a scolding voice. "You shouldnt carry that." "Why Crescent cause your gonna protect me?" "Yes" "Like that'll ever happen mummys boy...Same reason Nova has a pocket knife." "November!" "Thanks Bec." "Sorry."
" Hehe its just a lil reasurence mum nothing more." "We'll deal with this later young lady."Alton said getting the tear gas from Becca ,as if she could have used it . 'crap' Nova flattened her ears. When the shouts of confustion rang out below the guards ran out and was met by the escapies. "What tha heck! Scarlet!"
Scarlet herd Ariah voice rang out against the halls of the brig. "Ariah!" "Shoulda known that was your rescue." "Sorry im not a knite in shining armor ." "thats wierd Scar." "Thank you. but it was Becca's idea this time."
"What is with you Arrows and your hair brained schemes?" "I'd watch my tounge James. It is this hair brained officer who has to write your evaluation report. " Alton said coming down the stairs behind Amelia.
"Oh I didnt mean you sir..." He glared at Scarlet. "Well James Im proud to see you kept everyone in line." Se motioned at the cadets who were all glareing at him. "er...no problem captain.." Once they all were freed they all ran to there stations to get the Legacy the heck out there.
Once they were launched Jim bumped into whom he thought was Alton. "Oh Sorry Alton.." "Well its alright son but i'm not Alton." For a moment he just stared at the big rockatarian man.
Now that he looked he was bigger than Alton by a good bit. "But you were close..Avery...Avery Arrow." The big man smiled and shook his hand. "Jim Hawkins so your Alton's brother?"
"I am..older Brother at that." He said with a sense of cocky pride. "And Scars dad?" "that I am." Jim knodded and and bid Avery goodbye as he herd Ariah call for him.
Later that night Avery seen his neice November out on the shrouds alone. 'She's alone alot..' Perhaps the lass was alot more like her papa then he originally thought.
He did a little ahem to get her attention. "Oh uh hi." She said quietly. "whatca doin' out here all alone?" "Just where I wanna be." 'Yep there Alton.' "dont ya get lonely ?" "no!" she snapped. 'There's Amelia.'
" Mm well do you mind if I join you?" She stred at him for a moment almost studying him. "Yes.." she moved over. "so your the baby huh?" "Mhm." "whats it like?" "what?" "Being the baby..im the oldest I wouldnt know."
"Its great at times. Annoying at others." "Same with being the oldest." "Whats it like being captured?" "Scary.." "I bet..what was my parents like as kids?" "Eh well I didnt know your mum very well but not much different then she is now." "And papa?" "Like you to a point your alot like your mum." "I hear that alot." "He was quite is the only difference in him today."
"why did-" "November!" Amelia called. "Gotta go...night uncle Avery." "Night November." "Call me Nova." "Alright good night Nova." she smiled and ran off to her parents stateroom.
sitting at there desk Amelia looked at her husband who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "you know We got away easily." "We did." "But...we gained your brother." "Yes..but lost our secret."
"We did.." She got up and sat next to him. "Oh well." He started. "I'd rather be your husbandthen just your first mate anyday." "oh stop."she slapped him playfully. "Ya know I think we are the most 'in love' couples at our age I know." she smiled. "..Oh well." With that they kissed and went to sleep under the stars that had drawn them near.
