Chapter 3: Setting Sail.
"So ye coming or not?" Static asked as he crossed his arms. Electra looked at Amy. Her green eyes were full of plead. Electra looked back at Static and Shadow and nodded her head.
"Yes!" Amy squealed as she glomped her older sister. Electra laughed as she hugged her back.
"We leave the docks tomorrow morning, ye better be 'ere at dawn or ye aren't coming!" Shadow said sternly. He turned around and walked through a door on the poop deck.
"See you tomorrow matey!" Static said as he turned and walked through the same door as Shadow did. Amy squealed at Electra before running down the bridge to the docks again. Electra looked around the ship one more time before following her little sister back home.
Amy was making dinner whilst Electra was trying to write a letter to her boss about her absence. Electra couldn't concentrate.
'There is something strange about those 2 hedgehog's...I swear I've seen them before…'
"What's wrong 'ere Electra?" Amy asked as she set the table.
"Those...Those hedgehog's they seem so...so familiar, like I've seen them before..." Electra said as she set down her pen back in the ink. Amy shook her head and got out the forks.
"Here, eat, you might feel better..." Amy said timidly as she walked up to her troubled sister.
They had there dinner and went to bed soon after. Both of them couldn't sleep. They were both excited. Well, Electra was more confused than excited. They eventually got to sleep after a lot of trouble.
Dawn came quick for the both of them. They were up and ready and were both having breakfast. Electra had just finished and walked up to the window. She could see Static standing by the boat and Shadow just coming behind him.
"Quick, Amy, They are waiting for us!" Electra shouted as she grabbed her sack full of essentials. Amy gasped and gobbled down the rest of breakfast and walked to the front door. Electra was already down the street when Amy locked the door.
"Electra, You know I can't run as fast as you!" Amy yelled before speeding after her sister. Then arrived at the ship were the to pirate-hogs were waiting.
"Ye late!" Shadow said coldly before turning and walking back to the ship. Amy sighed. She thought this Shadow was so handsome but he would never fall for her. He was a brave pirate, she was a small girl who just gets in the way.
"Don't ye worry 'bout him, he woke up on the wrong side if his bed." Static said as he smiled at the girls. The sighed in relief and followed Static onto the ship.
"Alright, from now on lasses ye call me and Shadow 'ere Cap'n Shadow and Cap'n Static!" Static shouted out to the girls. When they got onto the main deck they could see Shadow ordering some workers to swab faster on the deck.
"Firstly you must swab the front deck of the ship aft you mu-"
"Wait! We have to work if we stay on the ship?" Amy cut of Static. He nodded and smirked.
"...and I thought I wouldn't have to work any more..." Amy mumbled.
"What was that?" Shadow whispered in her ear.
"Ah! Oh nothing..." Amy screamed. Shadow chuckled and walked off to the steering wheel of the ship.
Amy sighed in relief. She looked at Static and Electra who were trying to contain their laughs.
"Hmph!" Amy said and turned away from them. She stuck her nose in the air, crossed her arms, closed her eyes and pouted. Electra shook her head and focused back on Static.
"Alright then, ye may have the day of today but, ye half to work twice as hard tomorrow!" Static said as he watched Amy's face of anger go to a face of joy.
"Oh Thank you Cap'n Static!" Amy said as she saluted. Static winked at the girls before walking up to Shadow.
Amy noticed Electra sigh dreamily as she watched Static.
"Oh, you like him don't you?" Amy said playfully. Electra smirked and walked off to the front of the ship. Amy smiled to herself.
'This is going to be one heck of an adventure...'
