Chapter Two

Welcome Aboard!

"Stop Jack! Can't you tell? You are scaring the poor girl to death!" the boy said running over to hug me. He seemed as though by his hug was protecting me comforting me at the same time. "You should be ashamed. Scaring her even more than she already was." I was trying to help by doing the puppy dog eyes."She doesn't even know what is going on. Now if you were a gentleman, you would say sorry."

"But I'm not a gentleman! I'm a pirate!" Jack said.

"Say it!"

"Ok, mommy. I'm sorry, love." Jack said softly, as though he had never said it before.

"Thank you," I said to the boy, and I might add, he saved my life, and I didn't know his name yet.

"Now, first things first. Who are you?" Jack said calmly.

"My name is Lana, I'm 14 years old, and I'm from the year 2007. I also have no idea what I am doing here. The only thing I do know is that you just shoved a big gun in my face."

"Ok, Lana. Welcome aboard!" they said in unison.

"Follow me, love. We have to get you out of those hideous clothes you are wearing," Jack said.

"For your info., Mr. 1700's, these are very cool clothes from where I come from!" I replied.

"Fine, Mrs. 2007, I hate your clothes!" he yelled back.

"It is Miss, I'm not married." Right then the boy smiled.

"Well maybe you will be soon," he said winking at the boy, "and then I will be calling you Miss and you will yell at me then too!"

"I'm not yelling I'm just stating a fact."

"We are here!" Jack said. "Anna Maria? Are you here?" he said while pounding on the door. "I know you are in there! Come out!"

"Jack, what do you want?" Anna Maria yelled though the door.

"I need some clothes for Lana."

"Who is Lana?"

"Well, open the door you will find out!"

Then the door opened. "Get in here." I went in slowly.

"Meet me on the deck when you get done," the boy said.

"K." Then she shut the door.

"You are short," she said.

"Hi! I'm Lana, and yes, I know I'm short," I said while holding out my hand.

"What am I going to do with that?" she asked looking at it.

"You shake it. That is how you say hello."

"Not going to happen. Ok, here is the closet and here is the bed," she said as she pointed to each object, "Now, get out of my face."

I looked at the clothes, they looked HORRIBLE!!! "Hey, Anna Maria, do you have any other clothes by any chance?"

"No."

I just I would have to deal with these. I got dressed as fast as I could so that I could go and ask that boy what his name was. After I got the clothes on, they didn't look too bad. My clothes were better, but they were OK. Then I went to the deck to see what I needed to do next.
