The next day in the Tavern….

…

….mmmm….ugh….wha…what the heck happened? This tavern is a rect. People and animals are unconscious, tables and chair are on the floor, and…yuck…slips on the ground. I found myself being on the floor next to where the bartender was, I looked up and saw him calmly clean the countertops. I…did my best to…pull myself up, *breathes* dang I don't feel so well.

"Ah mornin' Ms. Mari"

"Pete?", I said holding myself on the table, "You're back?"

"Hahah yea and what a way to come back too, I'm gonna need more help fixing this place up"

"What even happened here?"

"Well what I was took there was an arm wrestle on one of the tables then a misunderstanding started, knocked them into the arm wrestling group, aaand you see the result of it", Pete said tapping the head then rubbing his bread, "Looks like you got involved"

"I don't remember, I was too busy drinking"

"You suurre were", said the Pelican Bartender, "She drank so much tart lemonade, even asked me to mix sour plum in it too"

"Mari, a girl your age should not drink drink that much tart", Pete said folding his arms, "You know the result aren't good"

"Yea…I know", I said reach for money in my pockets, "Here's my pay for the last drink, I'm…gonna go now", I said walking out holding my stomach.

Sitting outside wasn't any better, the sun was soo bright and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Uuugh…oh man I don't…*vomits*….*coughs*….uuuuh, huh…who is patting my back? Oh it's Kobe…this…is pretty embarrassing, he gently picks me up and carries me with one arm. I'm not going to- huh, a yum fruit!

"Kobe…grab that for me please", I asked slowly pointing to the fly yum yum fruit.

He listens and grabs the swift flying suck and hands it to me, eating something sound much better than drinking something.

"Good morning Kobe", We heard Blind Mew say.

"Ohayōgozaimasu", Kobe greeted with a bow.

"And good morning to you too Ms. Mari", Blind Mew greeted, "Judging by the smell of you, you had a less pleasant night than how you were feeling yes?"

"Mmmm…", I said chewing the yum yum fruit while giving him a moody glare.

Kobe looks at me and I looked the other way, I will not explain what happen last night to him OR Mew.

"I'll take that as a yes", Blind Mew said, "If you don't mind me asking, how is the tall rat and young witchdoctor miss"

"Nothing of your business Mew, let's go Kobe!", I demanded, "Aaah…hey, stop shaking me"

"Apologize", Kobe calmly demanded.

"Rrrr, sorry for that Blind Mew", I apologized folding my arms in disgust.

"It's quite alright, I'll go asked people at the clinic then", Blind Mew said walking away with one arm behind his back.

Kobe takes to the docks and onto my ship, to be honest I'm not in any mood to do absolutely any. I don't even want to be on my ship, that is sad.

"Mari, what happened to ya? You look a mess", Bonnie said looking at me with her hand on her knees.

"…..", I answered with a glare.

"We have all the necessaries", everyone heard Gaspard say from the hold, "Now all we need now to get…well say of the devil, there she is", he said walking out the hold then saying me in Kobe's arm.

"…", I answered with a very disgust glared.

I don't why, but Gaspard has been giving me a hard the pass few days. Why is he doing this? Is he still mad about what happened in Scrimshaw? He's not one to grudge on me like that, uuuuugh…I feel like vomiting again. *Burps* That's better…, but I still feel like dirt. Kobe kindly carried me to the cabin and gently placed me on my hammock. He asked if I needed anything, I just shook my head and he left. *Sigh* at least I can relax-….Why is the ship moving, dang it where are we going?! Rrr…someone better walk in here and talk me what's going on dang it! Hm? Someone opened the door…it's Gaspard…greeeaaat *Disgust sigh*.

"What is it Gaspard?", I asked in a moody way turning my head towards him.

"I just thought I tell ya the reason for why and where we are setting off?", Gaspard said grabbing a stool, bringing it over to my hammock, and sitting down, "We're off to the find Bonnie a new musket"

"Why couldn't you guys buy one?", I asked shaking my head and raising my eyebrows.

"Hey mentor is she need a one of a kind musket, something called a scaramanga valencian", Gaspard said taking off his hat and rubbing his cheek.

I may not be one for guns, but dang that's some gun she's gotta have. There's like…less than a thousand of those things now, we'd be lucky to fi-…..Oh…my…gosh…

"Gaspard"

"What is it Mari?"

"I think I know where one is"

"What, where?"

I explained how I saw one at Gun's old cabin in Corsair's Cove. I remember looking around the place til my eye caught a glimpse of it, the thing was a half buried in the sand aaand I didn't know what it was at the time. So i didn't touch it and good thing I didn't too, I sure hope it's still there. Gaspard was glad to hear that, but then he asked me what happened…last…heck…night…mrrrrr. I turned over on my hammock and help my blanket tightly.

"I know you don't want to talk, but you look like you have something to get off your mind", Gaspard said.

"….I told Rebecca what happened to Tari and Milo", I said quietly.

"….wow…, hmm reminds me of something", Gaspard said, "Remember when we lived in Grizzleheim and you were trying to keep a secret from the leader for his son, but you ended up tells him anyway.

"Oh my gosh Gapsard, what you're point and why are you bringing that up?", I asked turning over to see him getting angry.

"My point is…you did the right thing in telling them, Gaspard…said, "If you didn't thing would have possibly gotten worse"

"….You think so", I asked calmly.

"Defiantly", Gaspard said nodding.

"Hmph, says the animal whose been giving me a hard time lately", I pouted folding my arms.

"That's because you've been extremely reckless for the past 2 months and it's been increasingly frustrating to your father's level", Gaspard said sounding upset.

"…!"

"Look…I didn't mean to bring that up, but please promise me this", Gaspard said standing up, "Please don't get too reckless, I don't want to lose you", he said…placing his hand on mine.

He then put him hat back on his head and walked to the door….

"By the way if you leave that hammock, I'll tied you down to it myself", Gaspard said halfway out the door.

"Get the heck out of her!", I shouted grabbing the stool and throwing it at the door.

Oh shoot, I lost it a little. Good thing he close the door just in time. *Sigh*….
