Chapter 3: Meeting the Crew and Annie Too!

The next morning I woke up to two middle aged women jumping on my bed. Unless you're male, lesbian or crazy, I would not suggest this. I was in a peaceful sleep, just dreaming that I was plundering one of the highest guarded British ships when I was jostled out of my sleep and sent flying into the air.

"What the hell do you two think you're doing?!" I looked out the window and noticed that the sun was just about to rise. "What time is it?!" You could probably tell that I wasn't very happy that I was awakened from my beauty sleep.

Their reply? Their reply was to jump up once or twice and then land on me. I would also not recommend this. It really hurt. I groaned as both of their bodies connected with mine. My mom rested her head next to mine on the pillow as I opened my eyes, trying to get my breathing back to normal after the attack.

"C'mon Soph. It's early but Zellie and the crew have to get going by the time it's high noon." Once again a groan passed my lips.

"Get off me. I'll get dressed and we can go. Of course, if you don't get off me though I might just have to poke you." I gave my mom a teasing glare.

I shook my head and laughed. "No. I guess I wouldn't." I looked to Giselle and she grinned. "But I'm sure Auntie Zell would be happy to." I pushed her off and ran into the next room to get dressed while Giselle and my mom wrestled, Zellie trying to tickle my mom's rib cage.

I changed into one of the dresses my mom puts me in whenever she's trying to 'impress' some one. It was a long pink dress with black frills going around the edges of the skirt and the sleeves. It had a high collar and the lace lined that too, making my throat itch. My mom said that she brought it from a wandering merchant but I think that she stole it from some poor rich passer by.

I walked out of the bathroom and found my mom on top of Zellie tickling her. Zellie tried to push her off but my mom just bit her. Yeah. Actually bit her! Remind me not to get on my mom's bad side. "Ow! God 'ammit Mina! What the hell was that for?!" My mom just sneered at her and got up.

I rolled my eyes and walked to the door. "Are you guys coming? I wanna get to the boat," I re-thought my statement, "ship, before the sun sets and I can't see anything." They just smiled and followed.

Fifteen minutes later we were in the middle of Tortuga and people were surrounding us everywhere. I had stopped at the dock and looked at the ship. There were girls everywhere. No males in sight, at least not on the boat. I looked back at Zellie and my mom to see Auntie Giselle grinning like a Cheshire cat and my mom glancing at the boat. Ship! Not boat, ship. "That's my crew," She looked very proudly at the scuttling girls on the ship. "Always getting ready before I even get here." She wiped away an invisible tear from her cheek. "They grow up so fast!"

I just laughed at her and her sentiments. Just then a blur of red hair, blue eyes and a rather nice tan tackled the three of us to the ground. All I could hear where muffled "Get off"s, "Annie!"s and "Yay!"s. Get offs being from my mother and me, Annie coming from Giselle and the "Yay!" coming from the mess of red, blue and tan that was snuggling against Zellie.

I sat up from my place on the ground to see the small form of, what I assumed, was Annie. Annie sat up from hugging Auntie Zell and looked from me to my mom to Zellie again. He tackled her, her ending up on her butt with Annie rubbing his cheek against hers and, if I'm not mistaken, purring. "Is that the much talked about Mina?" He jumped up and came over to me, surrounding me and studying me. Lifting my hair in his fingers and inspecting it, and opening my eyes wider than I could get them to go willingly.

His head whipped around to Giselle. "New recruit?" Zellie shook her head and Annie raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Zellie, did you go lesbian without me knowing? She so young! You naughty girl." Zellie's mouth dropped open and gawked at the over active man. Me? I just stood there, my eye twitching.

Zellie closed her mouth and walked over to Annie, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Annie dear…" Suddenly her eyes turned dark and her voice sounded vehemoth. "Get on the ship and stay there!" And with that pushed Annie off the dock and into the waiting ocean below. Zellie's took a deep breath and turned around to look at Mina and me who were standing there twitching. Annie climbed up onto the dock again and glared at Giselle.

"You're mean! Why do you have to be so mean?!" He stood next to us, dripping because he was sopping wet. Zellie grinned at him then at us.

"Mina. Sophia. Meet Annie!" I just gave a worried laugh and shook his hand, my mother doing the same.

Me: Yay! Chapter 3 is now complete! Vondeva! (Just a made up word)

Ginger (one of my multiple personalities): There's too much water around! Not enough fire! Bring me fire! Now! gets out a blowtorch Read, and Review now or else the story gets it!

Me: 0.o Uhmm...please rate and review so Ginger doesn't destroy my story. I like this story I work hard on it. T.T

Ginger: You do not. You use this as an excuse to do something during Computer Applications and to be able to go to the library during Reading For Fun. That, and Miah is forcing you to write this.

Me: Shut up...

Ginger: Want me to turn the blowtorch on?

Me: Sorry. Just please read and rate people.
