Hello to everyone! I have been hard at work on this next chapter, so I hope you enjoy it. Oh and the song in this chapter was not made up by me. It is a Chris Isak song and I hope I don't get in trouble for using it. The song is called "Don't leave me on my Own" and I thought the lyrics and everything worked well so I decided to use it. Okay dokey, I think I am done talking and such. Now you can read while I go eat some Pocky and do the Numa Numa dance!

It was a large ship, originally made for transporting cargo. With lots of storage and room for two to sleep, Roy could not help to feel proud of the boat he had picked for their adventure.

Roy picked up his bags with some effort and carried them onto the rocking boat. He set them down and called to Doctor who was still hesitant to boarding. "You all set to leave?"

Doctor looked down into a brown bag that he was holding. "I've got a Costco container of Tum's and some ginger ice cream. I'm all set."

The two men got set to leave, or rather Doctor got set to leave and Roy sat slouching looking at a picture of Elli at Disney land. She was standing with him, winking and grabbing his arm. He was looking blank and bored, and the contrast between their emotions was like Space Mountain and It's a Small World.

"Roy, nothing you can do now will make Elli love you again, so get up and help get the sail up!"

"Come on Doctor."

"No."

"You know you want to."

"No, I don't."

"You do."

"Don't."

"Just one chorus."

"Fine." Doctor sighed.

Roy strummed his guitar and began to sing. "Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana. There was U2, and Blondie, and music still on MTV. Her two kids, in high school, they tell her that she's uncool. 'Cause she's still pre-occupied with…." Roy stopped and looked at Doctor who just rolled his eyes and sighed.

"1985," he said at last.

Roy finished with a couple more chords and then put his guitar down. Despite the fact that Roy was enjoying bugging doctor, his thoughts always returned to Elli.

"I miss her…," he said quietly.

"Who?"

Roy looked at Doctor with a blank look. "Celia," he said sarcastically.

"She was so helpful and would always help me grow my crops…even though she was terrible at it," he continued.

Doctor gave him a perplexed look. "Celia is great at growing crops!"

Roy sighed. "And she really loved chocolates too."

"Oh my god!" Doctor yelled.

"What's wrong with chocolates?" Roy said, puzzled.

Doctor gripped Roy's shoulders and turned him around. On the horizon was a huge ship with black sails blowing in the wind. Doctor was still gripping Roy's shoulders incredibly hard until Roy gave him a do-you-mind-look. Doctor let go of him and started tearing through their bags.

"Wow!" Roy said enthusiastically. "It's just like Pirates of the Caribbean!" Doctor found what he was looking for and pushed the smiling Roy out of his way.

"I think their pirates!" he said with an unusually high voice. He was looking through his telescope that he had remembered to pack before they left. "Yes, they are definitely pirates. But it looks like they are going in another direction, maybe they didn't spot us."

"Hey, pirates! Over here! Your boat is really cool! Could you give us a ride to Windfall Island?" Roy yelled at the top of his lungs. He put his hands to his mouth, ready to shout more, but Doctor covered his mouth before he could.

"Great, now they are coming towards us. Thanks a lot genius," he said. "Well, their ship is about twice as fast as ours, so there is no chance that we could run away and we don't have any weapons to fight them with. Our only chance of survival is to not let them board our –,"

"Hey the pirates are here. I just let them in for you!" Roy interrupted him. Several large and hairy men jumped aboard their boat. Doctor looked terrified and Roy was grinning from ear to ear like he was on Space Mountain again.

"We'd like to speak to your captain," Doctor said trying to push the very high pitch away from his voice.

"Down here!" said a voice.

Doctor looked down and saw a young girl standing in front of him. She was very tan and she had incredibly large eyes. "I'm Tetra, the captain," she said proudly.

Roy looked down at her. "But your just a kid," he said. Tetra turned and stared very coldly at him. Roy didn't get the vibe. He reached into his pocket. "You want some candy?" he said in a gentle voice.

Tetra was clearly very angered by this and she just stood there, one eye twitching. Finally, she ordered her men to search the boat for any items of value. In a surprisingly short amount of time, most of the ships valuables were loaded into a burlap bag labeled 'swag'.

"Now, what to do with these two…" the pre-adolescence Captain said as she slowly circled them. The large, putrid men that made up her crew began to close in, and soon Doctor and Roy were completely surrounded, the dark shadows of the men covering them completely.

In several minutes, Roy and Doctor were tied to the mast; the feeling of regret and self-pity over whelmed them. With a smug smile the captain ordered for her men to take their things to her ship. "You shouldn't cause any trouble like this, so I think it will be safe to leave you here in the middle of the ocean." She turned to leave with out the slightest regret for leaving two men to die.

"Wait!" Roy called to her. She turned and waited with her hand on her hips. "I get a last request, don't I?"

Tetra sighed. "They always want the last request! Okay, just get it over with."

"I need to be set free."

"Let's not go over board here," she said.

"No, I mean I need my hands free so I can play my guitar." Tetra just rolled her eyes and cut Roy free. He got up, rubbed his wrist, and then began searching through one of the bags that was being carried away by a member of Tetra's crew. He rummaged through it until he found a tape recorder. He then grabbed his guitar from another pirate and got ready to play.

"Hold this." He thrust the tape recorder into the hands of a shirtless pirate with a large black moustache. "Now when I say go, press the red button with a circle. When I say stop, press it again. Got it?" The pirate said nothing. Roy suspected that the pirate's brain wasn't quite in proportion to the size of his body.

Roy figured the pirate would have to work and got his guitar out of the case. He fit his head through his guitar strap and began to tune it. When he was finally satisfied with the sound he turned to the pirate and signaled for him to press the button. He grunted and slowly pressed the red circle. Roy took a deep breathe and began to strum his guitar.

Roy cleared his voice. Then he opened his mouth and words began to flow out.

"I've been thinking, a lot about you.

I'm so lonely, here with out you.

Please, don't leave on my own."

His voice was not great, but to the pirates who had little knowledge of musical talent his singing was that of angels. Even Tetra, who had been ready to leave as soon as she could, stopped to listen to Roy's song.

"I was hoping, you would write me.

Come and see me, just invite me.

Please, don't leave me on my own.

"Plea-ase, don't leave me own my own.

"I stay up late now, 'cause I've been crying.

Said I'm okay, but I've been lying.

Please, don't leave me on my own."

Roy began continued and broke out into a 27 second guitar solo. His strumming then fell into the original beat and he finished with a repeat of the first verse. Letting the final chord ring, he sat there and no one made a sound, just listened to see if he would play more. Roy bowed his head and the pirates broke out into a loud applause. The audio pirate was about to press down on the record button when Roy motioned for him to stop.

"Hold it a second." He took the recorder out of the pirate's hands and spoke into it. His face became serious and he lowered his head slightly. "Elli, that was for you. I want to say I am sorry. Sorry for failing to bring you your medicine. I am sorry that neither of us may make it to our wedding day; you being too weak to stand and I, in the middle of the ocean left here by pirates to die. But let my last note to you be one of joy, not sorrow, though I know it is difficult in these grave times. I love you, more than any man could ever love a woman. I love you more than life it self and if I could give my life for yours I would do it faster than a blink of an eye, though that doesn't really make a difference now since I am losing mine anyways.

"Remember the day when we sat in the field of forget-me-nots? I never wanted that day to end; I wanted to hold you in my arms forever. I felt that if I did let you go, you would disappear from me. I guess I was right. I know you hate me now, and I don't blame you, but if it is not too much to ask it would make this last bit of life I have the sweetest of all if you just remember that day always, and let the memory carry me with you in your heart where ever you go. Elli, your fiancée loves you."

With a great sigh, Roy pressed the record button again. "Alright, tie me back up. I got my last request," he said as he looked up at Tetra and her crew. But the usually malicious group of pirates did not speak. Instead, the group just stood still tears rolling out of their eyes and their shoulders moving up and down from their sobs. Tetra handed one of the men a bandanna to use as a hanky which he took gratefully.

"That is the saddest thing I have ever heard," the captain managed to say between sobs. She wiped her nose. "Is she really to weak to make it to her own wedding day?"

"Well, even if she could make it, it doesn't really matter since I, the groom, am going to be left here to die. And she hates me because she thinks I don't love her anymore so she probably wouldn't want to get married anyways," Roy replied and the pirates broke out into fresh sobs at this new addition to the tragic tale.

"It makes me heart break just to hear the story," one of the men said to his friend. His ally nodded in agreement.

"And what with his song and all. This is what true love looks like," he cried. The two men hugged each other and Tetra patted their backs comfortingly.

"There there Bruno, just let it all out." She turned to Roy, her face red and moistened from her tears. "You may go. We could never add an unhappy ending to a story like that."

"Thank you. Would you mind mailing this for me?" Roy asked, handing the tape recorder to Tetra. The captain nodded her head.

"Her name is Elli Sparrow and she is staying in Forget-me-not Valley." Roy stopped for a moment. He swore he had heard one of the pirates gasp. He decided to think nothing of it and continued. "It is a small town so you could mail it to the inn and she would probably reach her. The address is 335 Rain Bird Rd," he informed her.

Tetra suddenly grabbed the collar of one of her crew and pulled him down so his face was almost touching hers. "Rember that address or I am going to leave you here!" The man nodded vigorously and his captain calmed down.

"She will be getting it soon!" Tetra said gleefully. Her smile turned devious and she looked at Doctor who had remained silent for quite some time now. His eyes widened in sudden fear.

"Now what to do with you?" She stepped towards him slowly, her crew close behind her, some beginning to draw their knifes. "Now, unless you can tap dance…."

"Hey," Roy called out. The pirates turned their heads to him. "He's got a PHD," Roy pointed out. The pirates looked at each other and weighed this in their mind and eventually considered it good enough of a reason to let him go. Tetra made a hand gesture and someone stepped forward and cut the ropes holding the doctor back. He stood up and rubbed his wrist to get the circulation back into his hands.

A rather short pirate stood behind Doctor and looked at him incredulously. He appeared to be a man that had more in the brain department rather than bulk. "So," he said pushing his thick glassed up on his nose, "are you a real doctor? Or do you just act like you have a medical degree? I bet you don't even know the proper word for skin is."

Doctor just looked down at the pirate with a blank face. There was slight pause and Doctor's fist struck the pirate hard in his eye knocking him out. "Dermis," he said brusquely as the rest of the crew applauded. It was apparent that the pirate Doctor had just punched was not very liked.

Tetra put her hands on her hips approvingly. "That's just Greg. He took one class on dermatology and now he thinks he is all that. But that was some knock out! You deserve some of our give-aways," she said to Doctor. She whistled and two men brought out a large sack that was originally used for 'swag'. Doctor and Roy looked inside and saw hundreds of hats, coasters, stickers, and Frisbees, all with Tetra's logo on it. Roy took a Frisbee and a sticker for his guitar case and Doctor pulled out several coasters and a hat which he put on with a grin.

Once goodbyes had been said, Roy and Doctors ship was well on their way and Tetra was now relaxing in her favorite chair. She liked Roy, and she truly hoped he would get back together with his Elli. She didn't know how lucky she was, Tetra thought to herself. Roy loved her so much and was so devoted to her. All she had was-

Tetra's thoughts were interrupted by a tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw her first mate, Owen, standing beside her. He was not a big man, tall but lanky and in his late thirties. He was strong, but what Tetra admired about him was his intelligence and ability to make others see someone else's opinion. He brushed his dark hair away from his eyes nervously. "Captain…" he said slowly, "About the letter"-

"Oh, right! Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot we have to deliver it. We should stop by the nearest island and buy some stamps."

"Yes, well, err….I was wondering if perhaps I could deliver it my self."

Tetra gave him an inquiring look. She opened her mouth to say something but Owen held up the picture of Elli and Roy that had fallen out of Roy's luggage. Her expression changed to one of understanding when she realized what was going on. She grinned.

"Yes, Owen. I think that would be a grand idea. A grand idea indeed."

A/N I forgot about the other song in their. That one I obviously didn't write, and we all owe a thank you to Bowling for Soup for making such a cool song. So that is it for now; I will be working hard on the next installment!
