Disclaimer: I won Jen at a Carnival…I dunno, I'm feeling mental…
AlexRyder: Ah, the taste of smoothies…first you freeze the Strawberries, then you use them in a smoothie! The last time I saw that movie I was 7, but my sister(16) rented the third one a couple months ago, I don't understand her…
Ryou-is-mine: 226868? Your robot I assume. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY IS A FREAKIN' HARD SONG!!! It's like, Eb, Bb, F# --', it's hard, but I'll let you know when I can do it…(Thanks for all the FP reviews too!)
Mermaid Ninja: No, sorry…
Treasureplanet-gurl: How many times? Well…twice a day, seven days…I'd say over twenty at least! That's alright, questions aren't meant to be answered, unless it's a big test, and you won't pass w/out so many correct answers…or if I ask you!
Janna Hawkins: Totally agree! Disney kills the subtitles in it's movies! It messed up on Jack's speech to Mr. Cotton in PotC, "Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders in and almost certain death?" I still can't figure out that line!
Queen Sarabi: All reviewers are important, except for flames…flamers SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

You win a…wait, here's a memo…the authoress is a cheapskate and refuses to give out any and all prizes? So this is where those "Note to Self"s go…No, here's some chocolate cheesecake!!!!!!
Cool Random thought of the day: My name means "Of the arch" Arch means dealing with archery…so why can't I take archery classes?! This world is strange….
There is a surprise at the end, so read on!!
Chapter 13-♫What's love got to do, got to do with it?!♫
The doctor carefully carried the captain into Ben's home. I was layered with moss and lots of…er, stuff. Delbert carefully laid Amelia onto a chair, using his jacket as a pillow for her head.
B.E.N. picked up some type of pants and threw them behind a curtain. "AW! Isn't that romantic!? I find old-fashioned romance so touching! How about drinks for the happy couple?" He held out a tray with two cups containing what looked like oil.
Delbert's eyes shot open, he threw up and then politely said, "No, we don't drink, we aren't a couple either…if you had examined my beautiful hand you would notice that there is no ring upon it."
Jen laughed, "Like anyone would want to look at your ugly hand!?"
The doctor growled and turned around in a circle three times before lying down on the ground. Amelia gave the girl a long stare, before being distracted by a bird and catching it in her mouth, quickly tearing it apart.
Jen shook her head and was just examining the inside of B.E.N.'s house when he suddenly shouted to her.
"Jenny! There's some more of your buddies! HEY FELLA'S!! WE'RE OVER HERE FELLA'S!!!" The robot's answer was some close shots that punched a couple holes along the edges of his frame. Jen quickly knocked him out and began shooting at the pirates.
"Stop wastin' yer fire!"
Jen charged her gun up, breathing deeply. A familiar voice floated up to her.
"Hallo up there. Jen? If it's alright with the Cap'n, I might have a word with ye?"
"Come bargain for the map, doubtless, stupid, fat cyborg!!! He ruins it with stupid 'taters!" Delbert and Jen both stared at the Captain in amazement, "What is the stupid fat hobbitsess looking at?!"
"So, he thinks we still have the map?!"
Jen walked down the hill, Morph floated on her shoulder for support.
"Oh Morphy! I was wonderin' where you'd run off to!"
Silver was using his arm as a cane, he rubbed his leg and sat down, "Oh my! This leg has been downright snarky since out "game" attack in the alley, 'ey?" he laughed.
Jen stared him down, her eyes showing no care at all. Silver quit trying, "Look, whatever ye heard down in the alley, at least the part about you…I didn't mean a word about it! If that bloodthirsty lot had gotten ear o' that…they'd of gutted us both!" He edged up to Jen, gently elbowing her in the arm.
"OWWWWWWWWWWW!!"
"Sorry! Where was I? Oh yes…If you and me both play our cards right, we can walk away from here rich as kings."
Jen rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "Really?"
Silver smiled, "You get me that map, and an equal portion of the treasure is yours!"
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
Silver held out his hand like he had when the two had first met, "What do you say to ending this feud and walking away rich?"
Jen shook her head, glaring, "Boy, you are really something! Didn't you even read the script!?"
Silver shifted guiltily.
"NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!"
"Listen, either I get that map by tomorrow morning, or so help me, I'll use the ship's cannons to blast ye all to Kingdom Come!!" The cyborg turned away, "Morph, hop to it...NOW!"
Morph hid behind Jen's shoulder and Silver limped away, only turning to look back once, a sad look in his eyes.
Amelia struggled to stay awake. "We must…stay together…and…"
"WHAT??! WE MUST STAY TOGETHER AND WHAT??!!" Delbert screamed into her ears, but she started smiling.
"Doctor? You have beautiful eyes!"
"SHE'S LOST HER MIND!!"
Jen shook her head, "Aren't you the one who's supposed to help her?"
"Dangit Jen I'm an astronomer, not a doctor! I mean, I have a doctrit, but it's not the same thing! You can't help anybody with a doctrit, you just sit there and you're useless!" He sighed and fainted.
The girl shook her head and turned to stare out the doorway.
"Yeah Doc," B.E.N. said to the unconscious Delbert, "Jenny knows just what to do! So Jen, any ideas whatsoever?"
She stared at the Legacy, "Without the map we're dead; If we try to leave we're dead; if we stay here…"
"We're dead! We're dead! We're dead!" Morph finished, before turning to coo at Jen's shoulder.
"Well I can see Jenny needs a little 'alone time'," B.E.N. whispered, "So I'll just use the back door!"
Jen's head shot up, "Back door?!"
"Oh yeah!" The robot swiveled around a giant stone, revealing machinery that stretched far, far down into the planet. "I get a lovely breeze through here! Which I think of as very important, because ventilation among friends is very important!"
Jen mumbled to herself, "Stupid repetitive robot," she coughed and then spoke so the mental robot could hear her, "So what is all that?"
"You mean the miles and miles of machinery that stretch through the entire course of this planet? Not a clue!"
Jen climbed onto it; as she looked down, she could see a tiny pinprick of light blue in the distance. It was daylight on the other side. "Hey, Doc I think that I found a way out of here!"
"No Jen, the Captain ordered us to stay he-"
"I'll be back!" she said heroically and jumped, B.E.N. soon followed, screaming, "CANNONBALL!!!"
"Woof."
The three(Morph was also with them) bounced a couple times before getting stuck in the very center of the planet, where gravity held them.
"Okay, now we take the second elevator!" B.E.N. said, pointing to a small opening. They got in and were immediately lifted to the top, a narrow room with a domed roof.
Jen slowly lifted the metal dome up, but it flew open under her hands as B.E.N. popped up from under, screaming, "So what's the plan!??"
She forced his mouth closed, "B.E.N.!! Okay, we get back to the Legacy, deactivate the cannons, bring back the map."
"Good plan! I like that plan! The only thing is, I'm wonderin', how are we gonna get there?"
She pointed to the longboat, "On that."
