Anyways next chapter up.
I do not own Amelia. She is Disney's as is Jim or any other character I refer to.

Andrea clung to the rigging. She had been up here four, maybe five hours. Captain ws still in her stateroom. Andrea had no intention of mopping the deck, even though Mandy had yelled at her to. She didn't have to listen to her. She stared out into the dark night sky. She smiled at the stars. She heard movement behind and whipped around.
"Its ok, Andrea. Its me."
A Daino smiled at Andrea.
"Don't do that David!"
"Oh come on. I heard you gave Mandy a fright."
"Yeah, what ever."
"Also heard about Mom."
Andrea looked at him, her face cold and showing no emotion. David just shrugged back.
"Why did you do that Andrea? You know Mom had a hard past."
"Get out of here, David. I don't want to hear about your mother's past." Andrea put emphasize on your.
"Andrea." He stretched her name out. Andrea hissed and raised her arm in warning. Her ears pinned back and eyes narrowed.
"David, go away!"
"Andrea." His warm eyes tried to calm her.
"Good bye!" She swiped at him barely missing him.
"Andrea, please listen!"
"No, I won't. I have no father, no mother. Down!"
David's eyes widened. He dearly loved his father and all his knowledge and philosophy. His smile left his face and he frowned.
Andrea hissed, pleased. She had gotten him there. Oh he loved Captain, but oh his father was much more important because he had played favourites. Andrea had never really gotten along with him and barely kept her mouth shut when he made a mess of things.
'Whats wrong with you Andrea? Being so cruel and heartless."
"I'm always like that. Now leave, before I throw you down."
David gazed into her eyes again. She was serious. He started to climb down and she nodded not taking her piercing eyes off him. David climbed down and came to the bottom. He stood there confused. He needed to know more. He went below hoping to find a cadet that had heard the fight.

Two hours before

Amelia got up from the bad and stared at the clock. She had been there for three hours. She sat at the bed's edge hunched over. A knock came form the door. She stood up and straightened. She wiped the last tears from her eyes and answered it.
"Captain are you alright?"
Its was Hawkins. Amelia frowned slightly. I know he's concerned but why can't he just leave me alone. I have enough problems. I don't want to deal with cadets. I just want to go home. Amelia gasped inwardly. That had to have been the first time she had even thought that when she was on a ship.
"Captain."
"I'm fine, Hawkins."
"You say that but you don't need it."
Amelia longed to start yelling at him. Let him feel my pain.
"Hawkins, please just leave me alone."
"Go talk to Andrea."
"Are you trying to use authority on me? I still outrank you."
"No, as a friend I'm saying you should go talk to her."
Amelia looked at Jim long and hard. His face was determined though his knees were shaking.
"I shall take it into consideration."
Jim nodded and walked off, shaking.
I'm I that frightening to him still? Odd. I'll have the cadets shaking.

Two hours later.

Amelia had been sitting at her desk trying to work on star charts but failing miserably. She got up and walked out of the stateroom and onto deck. She saw David climbing up the rigging. Going to talk to Andrea, no doubt. Not a smart move David. She'll chew you up and spit you out.
Amelia climbed up on the other side careful not let him see her or know she was there. She pointed her ears to the conversation going on.
"Its ok, Andrea. Its me."
"Don't do that David!"
"Oh come on. I heard you gave Mandy a fright."
"Yeah, what ever."
"Also heard about Mom."
"Why did you do that Andrea? You know Mom had a hard past."
"Get out of here, David. I don't want to hear about your mother's past."
Amelia winced at this.
"Andrea."
"David, go away!"
"Andrea."
"Good bye!"
"Andrea, please listen!"
"No, I won't. I have no father, no mother. Down!"
Amelia winced again. Now she was going against Delbert. I should have stopped David from coming up here. Andrea is in no mood to be consoled. Neither am I.
'Whats wrong with you Andrea? Being so cruel and heartless."
Amelia knew who exactly Andrea had gotten that from.
"I'm always like that. Now leave, before I throw you down."
Amelia hid as David climbed down. She sent her sympathy with him. She climbed up.
"David didn't I tell you to go?"
"I would go if I was David."
Andrea spun around and smiled, evilly.
"So Captain what brings you up here?"
"Andrea..."
"Captain? I do believe if your up here, you should get to the point."
Amelia sighed. She longed to hug Andrea and hold her close. But she stood there holding rope for support.
"Will you do your job?"
Andrea thought. I'll be doing it either way. Cabin girl or not. "Yes."
Amelia didn't know what else to say. She wasn't used to this. "Thank you." She climbed down, feeling as if she was broken into a million pieces. She wasn't mad, just had so many odd feelings. She glared at a cadet that passed by. She went to the helm.
"I'd like to take the wheel." She stated calmly.
"Sorry friend, but its mine." The cadet hadn't seen her yet.
"Then I would glady write on your report that you do not listen to Captain's orders and do not deserve to graduate."
The cadet spun around. 'You.. can't be captain.." He was shaking.
"I'm afraid I am. Or did you note read the notes? There would be two Captains on this ship. One who has complete control and experience, the other who was trying out being a Captain. Guess which one I am."
"The wheel is yours!" He saluted and ran off.
"Silly cadet." Amelia happily took the wheel but did not let it show. She turned it slightly going off course. She didn't care. She moved the ship slightly away from the true direction. She still was edgy about the pirates.
"PIRATES!!!!!!!!"
Andrea came swinging down from her spot. Amelia stared at her.
"No joke, Captain. There's a ship of them! Go up there if you don't believe me!"
Amelia climbed quickly up and gazed her cat eyes out. Andrea had not lied. Amelia swung down.
"Ok then. Amdrea, go get the guns." She tossed Andrea a key. Andrea nodded their fight forgotten for now. Andrea ran and unlocked a room. She brought out guns.
"All cadets front and center!!!!!" Amelia yelled out.
They all came running. Andrea tossed guns to them. Mandy screamed. David looked shocked.
"Its what I suspected. Pirates have found our ship and our nearing it every second. You have all been trained and are ready to fight for the good of the galaxy. I give you permission to kill."
Andrea stared at the captain. Open gun fire.
"At my command, we fire. Wait for their first shot."
The ship was in plain view. They all waited ready and tense. Andrea loaded her gun and aimed ready. She didn't care what anybody had to say. She would fight. Amelia got her won gun ready. David had a hand gun and Mandy was behind him with one too. Andrea had a full huge gun and she was aiming. Amelia felt her heart clench. Andrea wouldn't fight with that. She'd be killed in a second. Too late.
*Woosh* a laser barely missed a cadet.
"Open Fire!!!!!"
Andrea shot at the first pirate she saw. he fell to his own ships deck. "Yes!" She hissed.
Amelia shot multiple shots, one after the other not thinking. She celebrated as she saw pirate after pirate go down. But there was too many, they outnumbered her crew.
Andrea climbed the rigging, quickly. As she reached halfway up she began to fire. They shot at her and she grabbed a rope and swung around. A laser nicked her side but she felt nothing only anger.
Amelia could see Andrea doing this and was frightened.
"Andrea! No!"
Andrea heard the captain but ignored her completely. She was quite a distractio nto the pirates woh seemed to be placing bets on who could shoot her down. The cadets were taking the oppurtunity. Amelia quickly shouldered her own gun and climbed up after Andrea.
"Get down, Andrea." Amelia hissed.
"Shan't, Captain. Tell my family that I died a good death for the good of the galaxies." Andrea pullled off a few more shots.
"Andrea, please!" Amelia reached for Andrea's arm. Andrea avoided it and climbed higher.
Amelia forgot her for a second and began shooting again. She looked over the ship her eyes not missing a thing. Especially the ship's name. Amelia let her gun fall to the deck, not caring.
Andrea stared at the captain. "Captain?"
Amelia whispered to herself, her eyes beginning to show hate. "Death Destroyer."
