The next day, Sea-Wise Odyssey began her sailing away from the Bahamas towards her next destination.
Meanwhile, many miles away towards the Gulf of Mexico, Peter Albany, King of the Confederacy, had arrived by helicopter onboard the TCN Richmond. This aircraft carrier was by far the largest and most impressive in The Confederate Navy, the perfect vessel to serve as Peter's flagship.
"Confederate Marines, Salute!" barked the sergeant on duty.
The Marines obeyed and saluted their King.
As Peter stepped out of his helicopter, he returned the salute.
"At ease" said the King. As the Marines obeyed he looked out to sea at the Battleship TCN Virginia sailing alongside the Richmond. Farther out, he could make out the Destroyer TCN Copper. Her sister ship, TCN Gold was sailing on the other side of Richmond, creating a protective zone for the carrier.
Peter breathed in the fresh sea air. 'I've always loved the sea,' he thought.
A little while later, Peter was on the Richmond's bridge conversing with the ship's commander, Captain Jeb Longstreet and the fleet's Grand Admiral, Margret Davis.
"It's too bad that William Collins guy didn't invite you to cruise with everyone" said Davis. "I'm sure Tommy and his friends would have loved to have you enjoy the vacation with them."
"Yeah, I wish I could have gone to" said Peter, "But Collins is extremely nationalistic towards the United States. And he hates that the Confederacy gained its independence."
"Well he might be a nationalist but he probably won't be a big business man much longer" said Captain Longstreet. "Have you heard of that Communist revolution in North East Africa that's probably going to ruin his corporation?"
"Yeah I have" said Peter "and from what I've heard it looks like the revolutionaries are winning."
"I may not agree with Communism" said Davis "but I think it serves Collins right after all the horrible things he's done to the African people."
At that moment a Confederate Naval Officer came up.
"Your Majesty, Admiral, Captain" said the officer.
"Yes" asked Peter.
"One of our submarines, TCN Royalty, has detected some very unusual geological activity just twenty miles north of Cuba. It looks like there's a possibility of an undersea quake in that area."
"Wait a minute" said Peter "that ship that Tommy and the others are on should be in that area! We have to warn them!"
Captain Longstreet spoke into the ship's radio. "Sea-Wise Odyssey, Sea-Wise Odyssey, come in, this is the TCN Richmond of the Confederate Navy, and do you copy, over!"
While all that was going on however, back on Sea-Wise Odyssey, Angelica Pickles was playing with Zoey Anderson in one of the ship's wading pools. As they splashed and played, the blond decided to ask her friend about something.
"Hey, Anderson, can I ask you something" asked Angelica.
"Sure Angelica" replied Zoey.
"Have you ever realized that you've done things, like really bad things, to peoples and then suddenly regretted it?"
"What do you mean" asked Zoey.
"Well, you know I haven't exactly been…" Angelica paused. "Well, um, sometimes I can be a little, um, not exactly nice."
"Not exactly nice" asked Zoey putting her hands on her hips.
"Okay, okay!" barked Angelica, "I'm always mean and rotten to everyone!" She sighed. "Look, every one now thinks my stupid cousin Anthony is this big cool guy. Anthony hates me and because of it has all those babies and Susie on his side. And it's because he's actually nice to them while I'm always mean. It's really stinky being the mean one. I mean, I've realized that things are always bad for me whenever I'm mean to those babies and Susie."
"Like what kind of things" asked Zoey?
"Well for example, last Halloween my Daddy caught me eating candy when I wasn't supposed to and tolded me I couldn't go trick or treating. But later on when we were at the amusement park he tolded me that if I was good he'd let me off of my punishment. But instead of obeying, I tolded the babies that their costumes would make them turn into real monsters unless they gave me all their candy. Well of course I got caught and spent the rest of the night watching everyone eating their stupid candy while I had nothing."
Angelica sighed and went on. "And it's not just getting caught that stinks ether. When I'm mean no one wants to play with me, ever. And… and sometimes I can't blame them."
"Oh, Angelica, I'm sure you couldn't of done anything that horribles" sad Zoey.
"No" said Angelica glumly, "that Halloween wasn't anything. Have they told you about some of the other things I've done?"
Zoey shook her head slightly and Angelica went on.
"Well, you know my youngest cousin, Dilly" asked the blond as Zoey nodded. "Well back just a little while after he was born we were all at Tommy's house when Dilly grabbed my Cynthia and well…"
"Did you hurt him" asked Zoey slightly shocked.
"No, no, it's not that" assured Angelica, "But, well, all those babies were in their Reptar Wagon…"
"Reptar Wagon" asked Zoey, "what is that exactly."
"Oh, my uncle Stu invents toys and stuff" replied the blond.
"That's cool" said Zoey.
"Yeah, well, the Reptar Wagon was one of his inventions. It's basically like a big play car only it looks kinda like Reptar. Well they were all in it and I was mad because I wanted to watch TV and they were being loud and well… basically I kicked the Wagon out of the front door. I only meant to kick them out into the front yard but that stupid Reptar Wagon rolled all the way down the street and well, eventually they all ended up in the forest near our town."
"Really" said Zoey, "what did you do then?"
"Well, remember what I said about Dilly having my Cynthia" asked Angelica, "well I remembered they had her so with the help of Tommy's dog, Spike, I went after them. When I eventually met with them again, it was horrible. There were all these monkeys attacking everyone and they even tried to take my Cynthia. But then there was that big wolf that almost ate us, and…"
Zoey noticed tears running down Angelica's face.
"B-but that wasn't the worstest thing I'd done" continued Angelica. "About a few months later, all of our families got invited to Paris you know that city in France. We were invited because my uncle had to see a giant Reptar robot he had built. Well there's this big amusement park there called Reptar Land where we all stayed. Well while we were there, my uncle Stu and Chuckie's dad tooked us to see Chuckie's new mom, Kira."
"Wait, his new mom" asked Zoey.
"He never tolded you" asked Angelica, "well you see his original mommy, well…" She looked to the side for a second before turning back.
"So how did Chuckie get his new mom" asked Zoey.
"Well that's just it" said Angelica, "I tolded him that I would find him a new mommy."
"Really" asked Zoey.
"Yeah, but when we were first there I didn't think Kira was going to be his mommy, I thought it would be, well, someone else."
"Who exactly" asked Zoey curiously.
"Well, you know how we were seeing Kira?" replied Angelica. "Well me, and few of those babies wandered off into a deferent room and while we were there I saw this big bowl of some Chocolate stuff. It looked good and I was hungry so I started to eat it all. Well after those babies left I was still in there when this mean lady named Coco and her assistant came in and caught me. And well that was when I made a deal with her to marry Chuckie's daddy…"
"You almost had some mean old lady be Chuckie's new mommy" asked Zoey, "but why and why did she want to marry him?"
"Look" said Angelica, "before she caught me she was talking to someone on a big TV who offered her a probotion or something. Well apparently she needed to like kids for her job. After the TV went off she tolded her assistant that she hated kids but that she needed to marry someone with a kid for her job. And that's when she caught me.
"That Coco lady grabbed me by the back of my clothes and tolded me that she was going to put me away somewhere for a very long time. I was scared because I thought I wasn't going to see my Daddy or my Mommy or anyone I knew ever again. Well at that moment, I remembered how Chuckie's dad wanted to find a new wife and how Chuckie wanted a new mommy. So I made that horrible deal with her.
"The deal was if I could help her get Chuckie's daddy then I could get my own float in a big parade with ponies and everything. Well later on I realized that Chuckie hated that Coco lady but I refused to see it. Eventually when Chuckie's daddy decided to marry her she decided to put all of those babies away in a big room with the giant Reptar robot. I thought it was funny seeing those babies get taken away at first but then she had me taken away with them.
"That was when I realized just what a horrible thing I had done. Poor Chuckie started to cry because he thought he couldn't stop that mean lady from being his new mommy. I never felt so guilty in my whole life."
"So, what did you do then" asked Zoey.
"Well I tolded them and my cousin Tommy tolded me that that was the worstest thing I had ever done."
"Did you apologize" asked Zoey.
"Yeah, I did but even to this day they haven't looked at me the same since" said Angelica glumly.
"So, Chuckie's daddy did not gets Coco for his wife" asked Zoey.
"No, we stopped him" said Angelica. "We stole'ed that giant Reptar robot and went all the way to the church where the wedding was at. We even battled Coco's assistant who was controlling a giant robot of Robo Snail."
"That sounds awesome!" shouted Zoey excitingly.
"Well" Angelica continued, "We won and Chuckie's daddy called off the wedding. I even gots some revenge on Coco by stepping on her dress and ripping part of it off and making her underpants show."
Angelica started to chuckle and Zoey giggled but then Angelica sighed again.
"But no one ever really forgave me for what I almost did to Chuckie" said the blond. "And when we returned to America they wanted nothing to do with me. And rather than trying to make it up to them, I just kept on being mean. Even that day when Chuckie's daddy and new mommy adopted each other's kids, I tried to get his new sister, Kimi, on my side but of course that failed. Even she hates me now."
"Angelica" asked Zoey, "I'm not mad at you but I need to know. Why are you so always so mean to everyone."
"I wish I wasn't so mean, I really do but I can't help it" replied Angelica. "I'm so lonely all the time because no one ever wants to play with me. And whenever I'm lonely I gets sad and then when I'm sad I gets angry. And when I'm angry bad things always happen, really bad things."
"Maybe you should apologize" suggested Zoey.
"I wish I could but they all keep hanging around my stupid cousin, Anthony" said Angelica. "And well, I'm… I'm afraid of him."
"But Angelica" went Zoey, "if you say you're sorry and show your friends you really mean it than they won't have any reason to hate you anymore. And even if Anthony still hates you, you would now have Tommy, Dilly, Phil, Lil, Chuckie, Kimi, and Susie all on your side."
"You really think so" said Angelica.
"I know so" replied Zoey.
"Anderson" asked the blond again, "would you mind being there when I apologize?"
"Of course I will" replied Zoey, "That's what friends are for." She gave Angelica a hug.
Meanwhile back with the Royal Confederate Fleet onboard the TCN Richmond, Peter was standing on the bridge with Captain Longstreet and Admiral Davis.
"Have they gotten the warning yet" asked Peter.
"Yes" said Captain Longstreet, "but their corporate policy makes it difficult for the ship to just change course unless it's an immediate emergency and well no undersea quakes have yet to be detected."
"Those corporate idiots" said Peter; he prayed to his God for the best.
