Amelia was walking on deck. They would be able to dock within the hour. She couldn't wait to be home. Then her and Delbert would be able to get some alone time. While she was daydreaming she didn't see where she was walking, and she ran right into Delbert...who was leaning over the edge of the ship.
"Whoa!" Delbert yelled. As he fell he saw some rope and grabbed it. Hanging on for his life. "HELP!"
"Delbert!" Amelia yelled completely forgeting her Captain act. But who can blame her she loved this man. (Even though she hadn't said it quite yet.) She looked around and saw a piece of rope. She tied it to herself, and something that was on the deck. She then dived off the deck reaching for Delbert.
"Delbert! Give me your hand!" she yelled. They reached for each others hand until they finally locked hands.
"Pull us up!" she commanded. The crew pulled up Delbert and Amelia. As soon they were back on deck Delbert brushed himself off.
"Well, that was more fun than I-mhm" he started but was interupted when Amelia basicaly threw herself at Delbert knocking him down, and she sat on top of him.
"Delbert Doppler! If you ever pull a stunt like that again, I will personally see you locked into your house and wrapped in bubble wrap!" Amelia yelled. She then got up off of Delbert, and marched to her stateroom. Leaving an awestruck Delberrt and crew.
"Um, I'll go talk to her." he reasured the crew. He then walked in the direction Amelia had went in.
"uh, Captain?" he said.
"Go away."
"Amelia. What's wrong? Did I do something?"
"Delbert...just leave me alone..."
Delbert sighed. He then opened the door and walked in. He looked around until he saw Amelia hunched over her desk. Her shoulders shaking.
"Amelia, are you crying?" he asked as he closed the door behind him.
She turned her head slightly and said,
"I said to leave."
"Well, Captain, I would've listened, but I'm not acting as your crew member. I'm acting as your friend."
He laid a hand on Amelia's shoulder who grabbed it with her own.
"Delbert, I-I almost lost you...I-I can't lose you like I lost Arrow...I-I love you."
Delbert looked ar her then picked her up and turned her around. He then pulled her into a kiss. She was surprised at his boldness, but melted into his kiss. He pulled away and looked her in the eyes.
"Amelia, I love you too. You don't need to worry about me. I will live for years to come."
Amelia smiled. She had choosen a good man. she never thought she would love a man. Although, many men had tried to win her heart. She never let them see passed her barrier, but some how Delbert had. He was the only man who could catch her defenseless.
KnockKnockKnock
Amelia sighed. She was having such a good time. She stepped away from Delbert.
"Come in."
It was Alice.
She is always ruining my moment. Amelia thought. She is not staying on this ship. Oh well. The search for a decent first mate continues.
"I came to inform you it is time to dock. Plus, I will be needing my paycheck." Alice said.
"Alright. I shall be out in a minute." Amelia replied. Alice nodded and left Delbert and Amelia alone again.
She turned to Delbert with a smirk on her face.
"Well, Doctor, are you ready to be on solid ground again?"
"Hm, will I nearly fall to my doom on solid ground?" he replied also smirking.
Amelia rolled her eyes in mock frustration.
"Doctor, I asure you. You want fall through the ground."
"Then let's be off. Shall we?"
He extended his arm to Amelia. Who took it gladly.
"We shall."
With that they were off.
Okay it's finished. Please give me reviews. I write for those things. See ya next time!
