"So, it looks like I'm a gardener,' laughed Duo.
"Yep," smiled Rose.
Anything to see you smile. thought Duo.
There was silence between the two as Rose sat on the porch chair and Duo started planting. (Now he's Farmer Duo......what next????) it was hot under the direct sun light as Duo planted Flowers along the inside fence in a colorful pattern. He never thought that the soil was soft enough to plant flowers, and it now seemed that he had been proven wrong.
Rose opened the first book she had picked. She was fascinated by the facts about pirates, but as she read the names of Tortuga and Port Royal she felt an odd connection to the names in her heart. She smiled as she peeked over her book to see Duo hard at work.
"Put yer Back into it!!!! Ya Mangy Cad," commanded Rose with a laugh.
"I am," whined Duo.
"Don't Talk to yer Captain like that," scolded Rose.
"Oh really," smirked Duo as he put down his shovel.
Before Rose knew it Duo had his arms wrapped around her.
"EWWWWWWWWWW," laughed Rose as she tried to get out of Duo's sweaty grasp.
"Stop yelling at me," smiled Duo as he went back to work.
I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." Thought Rose guiltily.
She went back to reading her book. She flicked through pages with the affect of piracy on the world and came to famous pirate stories. She read of Mary Read, Captain Kidd, and Captain Half Ass. (He's a real pirate.....lost half his butt to a lose canon ball.) Rose found herself feeling proud when the pirate got their desired booty, and she felt saddened for those who were sent to the gallows. Rose smiled thought at the last sentence in the book. "I f there are people, there'll always be piracy."
Very true, but do you know that pirates are people who like a sense of risk?thought Rose with a smile.
She looked up to see the sun starting to sink in the horizon.
"It's beautiful," smiled Rose as she looked at Duo's done project.
"It took half a day, but it's worth it," sighed Duo with a sense of accomplishment.
Rose gave Duo a hug out of thanks before they went inside. They sat in the kitchen as they ate last nights left overs.
"Duo, when we saw those guys fighting why did you say sailors in the tone you did," asked Rose curiously.
"Some sailors are good, but most are just a bunch of lousy ass drunks or pirates as I call them," replied Duo with distaste.
Rose cringed at his explanation. She was over whelmed with feelings of anger, sadness, and low life. She felt as if she and Duo couldn't be friends anymore and she didn't know why.
"What's the matter," asked Duo sensing something was wrong?
"Nothing," replied Rose trying to look happy.
"I got no school tomorrow, so I figured we could go to the beach again," smiled Duo.
"I like the sound of that," smiled Rose lightly.
Duo helped her into the tub. He slowly scrubbed Rose's hair. I hope you stay forever.thought Duo.
Why do I feel miss placed?thought Rose.
She got dressed and got into bed with out any thought to it, but kept her mind on what Duo had said earlier she felt like a zombie.
Duo smiled as he tucked her in. "Sleep Tight," whispered Duo to Rose as he pulled the blankets up to her neck.
"Night," replied Rose snapping out of her thoughts.
The room felt cold even when Rose was under the covers. She closed her eyes, and the room seemed to fill with laughter and loud talking. Rose looked around the room that was once her bedroom and had now turned into a filthy, grubby packed Bar. Everywhere were men and women drinking pints of alcohol, all of them wearing the weirdest attire. She felt like a ghost amongst them.
"More Rum," yelled a voice from behind her.
Rose wheeled around to see herself at a table with a bunch of men. All of the men looked ragged and bed ass, but as soon as Rose saw this everything started to fade. Rose bolted up right in bed. She looked frantically around the room and calmed herself down at the sight of her room.
"Just a dream," she muttered to herself. She slowly sank back into her blankets and closed her eyes, but just as she closed her eyes she heard a panicked scream echoed through her head, and the image of her sinking in what seemed to be an ocean of blood. Rose bolted upward.
"Get a grip on yourself!!!!" Screamed Rose in her head. She shivered ads she looked at the bare room. The only warm, comforting thing in the room was her display of sea shells, but the rest of the room looked cold and dark. She felt very uncomfortable as she slowly crept upstairs to Duo's room.
Duo had just finished his paper on the evolution of cars to glance up to see Rose standing in the door way with a frightened look on her face.
"What's the matter," asked Duo?
Rose slowly crept onto his bed.
"I don't like being alone in my room," stuttered Rose.
"Could her memories be giving her nightmares? Note ask Miss Lane," thought Duo as he made room for Rose.
"Thank you," mumbled Rose curling up.
Duo curled up next to her and watched Rose breath as she slept. "Why would her memories give her nightmares it's unthought-of of. She's one of the nicest people I know why would she be frightened of her memories," thought Duo? He watched Rose for a little while before going asleep himself.
