I just want to apologize for any inconvenience I might have caused earlier today, I was trying to fix one of the earlier chapters and ended up having to delete all chapters and re-add them. So sorry about that guys!

It deleted all of the # of views, but it was almost 300 (technically in the 280's somewhere, but almost 300 sounds better) in THREE DAYS! You guys are awesome! There were even people viewing it in Australia and Japan! TALK ABOUT AWESOME! Y'all are the best! It's official :)

Okay best people ever, this one's a little short. But it came between super short or extremely long, so I chose the first option. Anyway, thanks for the great reviews and enjoy this next chapter!


Chapter 6: Three Amigos or Something Like That

It took them a lot longer than Philby had estimated to get to the coastal port. Willa's ability to walk all day without many stops had been seriously overstated. They had gotten off the trail a few times trying to avoid guards and then proceeded to get lost more times than Philby would like to admit.

But they had made it. Dillard had struck a deal with a local innkeeper for a room for the night.

Currently Dillard, Amanda and Willa were resting in the room. Philby and Finn had decided to take a trip to the tavern to talk things over.

"So what are the odds of us getting someone to take us to an island kingdom tomorrow?" Philby asked Finn before taking a sip of his drink.

"Probably one in a million." Finn finished off his glass.

"Somebody's optimistic."

"I do my best." Finn waved over a bartender and ordered another drink. Philby finished off his glass and orderd another.

"So Finn, you've known Willa for a long time." Finn turned and looked at Philby, who wouldn't look Finn in the face. "Do you think I have a shot?"

"What kind of a question is that?"

"A rhetorical one I guess." The bartender slammed their drinks down and Philby immediately chugged all of it. "There's no way she would go for me. I mean she's royalty after all. The second we put you back on the throne, she'll probably forget all about me."

Finn focused on his drink and kept his gaze locked on it while he answered. "Willa doesn't really think like that. She's not shallow like the other royal girls."

"I wasn't accusing her of being shallow, if that's what you think."

"No, no of course not." Finn looked over at Philby. "I'd say you had a pretty good chance with her."

"You think so?"

"Yeah man. Definitely." Finn placed a hand on Philby's shoulder. "But if you hurt her, I'll have to kill you."

Before Philby could answer, the door to the tavern swung open and a young dark-skinned man in a large black tricorne hat.

"Gaston! Your finest table please!" He took a step in and went straight up to the bar, where Philby and Finn were sitting. "We've just had the best time raiding one of Maleficent's ships and all of my men are here to celebrate."

The man tosses small leather pouch to the bartender, presumably Gaston, who gladly accepts.

"Anything for you Captain!" He turns to the other bartenders. "Drinks all around for Captain Maybeck and his crew!"

The crew cheered. The captain grabbed a drink from Gaston and turned toward Philby and Finn.

"Well look here Gaston! It seems we've got tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumb!" The captain sat in the chair next to Philby. "How's it going tonight boys?"

Before either of them could answer, the captain continued. "You two don't look like regulars."

"That's because we're not." Finn stated plainly.

"I'm Philby, this is Finn. We're from..." Philby glanced toward Finn.

"We're from a small village that you probably have never heard of..." Finn trailed off.

"Try me!" The captain slammed his drink down onto the bar. "I love a good challenge!"

"Uh…it's called…" Finn nudged Philby.

"Anaheim. It's right outside of the royal castle." Philby added quickly.

"Anaheim ain't no small town! Heck! That's the one of the biggest towns in the whole kingdom!" The captain laughed probably more than was necessary. "So what brings you two city slickers out here to the coast? You know, I'm always looking for more pirates for the crew."

"We need to get to one of the island kingdoms." Finn said, not knowing which one to mention.

"Hmm…what a coincidence! I'm heading out to the kingdom of Florida in the morning."

"Mind if he catch a ride with you?" Philby asked. "We'll pay."

"The kingdom of Florida's easily a three-day trip, assuming Lady Luck's on our side. With the two of you on board, I'd say we could make a deal."

"Oh, see we've got three others with us."

"Any of 'em ladies?" The captain winked at them.

"Two." Finn held up two fingers.

"We ain't had any ladies on board in a long time. Sure thing! But I'll need some shillings in exchange."

"How many?" Philby asked.

"Eh…we'll decided that in the morning. Meet me at the docks at sunrise."

The captain held up his glass and Gaston came over to refill the trio's glasses.

"I like you two." The now slightly drunk captain said. "How 'bout we toast to the three of us becoming the three amigos or something like that?"

Finn and Philby shared a look, then raised their glasses. The captain smashed his glass into theirs and chugged all of it.

"Now boys, if you don't mind, there's a party going on. And if there's one thing I've learned over my years of being a pirate, it's how to party!"


So...what do you think?

To kk7: I know this probably isn't the best Finn/Philby "if you hurt her" speech...but I hope you liked it!

I'll have the next one up as soon as I can-spoiler alert: it's going to be a good one! Please review! I would love to know what you think!
