A/N: I'm so glad you guys liked my story! I used to read loads and loads of fanfics where the authors would ask for reviews and I thought nothing of it so I never did, but now I know how good it feels to be reviewed! And thanks maybe-a-bee and Scarlett Oblivion for being my first ever reviewers! And I'm so sorry for the late update! Bad me! Bad! -bows- Forgive me!

Maybe-a-bee: Thank you so much! I love spamano! It will definitely be in here!

Scarlett Oblivion: Thanks, and so do I XD

On with the show!

"Right, right." She sighed pulling out a knife and cutting off her skirt to leave a pair of pants and boots left on her, with her white shirt and red corset on top. She put the knife back in her corset,

"There."

"Well come on then!" He said while grabbing her hand "Let's go!" exclaimed as they started walking up the ramp onto the boat. Mattie laughed quietly at how impatient he was and let herself get dragged up the ramp.

"So uh, my name is Mattie." She held out her hand, and he took it happily "I'm Gilbert!" He grinned stupidly, "From today onwards I will be your awesome captain!"

"Alright." She smiled "So Ca'pn do you have any rules?" she tilted her head slightly.

Gilbert scratched his head and thought for a moment "Just one, you may never ever talk to a man named Francis without me being there or without my consent. Kay?"

She nodded "Alright but, I have a rule too, I'm not a little glass doll and I will not be treated like one, alright?" She demanded more than asked, the girl hated being treated different just because she was a girl.

"Ah, don't worry I don't discriminate against girls here! I have a couple on board, one of which hits me with a frying pan! Crazy lady.." He muttered "Well anyways, here's our room!" He said while opening a door

"W-wait, we'll be sharing a room?" She asked, astonished

"Of course!" He said looking at her like she was crazy

"But your a boy and- you know just forget it." she face palmed, trying not to think about it

"Just put me to work Ca'pn."

"Alright, here you go!" He handed her a broom.

"A broom?" She shakes her head, "Wouldn't a mop work better?" She sighed but got to work anyways.

Once the girl was finished she sat on the railing of the ship looking out at the sea ahead of them."How do ya like it here?" The albino said walking towards her. "Soon it will get harder, we have to do raids sometimes, and sometimes we have to kill you know."

"It's okay, but I'm not participating in your raid unless it's my uncle, because he could use one." She sighed still staring out at the sea.

She started to pull on her sleeves a bit. "I'm sorry..." he murmured, thinking he had brought up a sensitive subject. "It's fine, I just don't attack people who haven't hurt me first." The girl sighed, when she realized she just pointed out the fact her uncle hurt her in some way.

"Do you mean that he.."

"It's nothing." She looked back out at the sea knowing that it wasn't nothing.

"Are you sure?" He puts his hand on her shoulder "You can tell me."

She hissed a bit in pain when his hand touches a cut on her shoulder that never healed, "If I say it hurt, or he hurt me, then he wins." She glared at the sea.

"I could kill him for you, you know."

"He's one of my very few living blood family, I'd rather you didn't..." She sighed.

"But he-" Gilbert stopped. "I'm sorry I tend to jump to conclusions."

"It's fine..." She sighed thinking what would happen if the man next to her knew about everything he did to her. She figured that it was a 50/50 chance of him doing the same or coming the to the conclusion he did a few minute ago.

"I don't know why but, I feel I need to protect you..So, just know you can tell me anything."

She sighed, "I would... it's just." She looks around feeling that far too many ears can hear her.

"It's just what? If you want we could go somewhere more secluded. The hold never has anyone in it." He asked, worried "O-Okay." She nodded. He grabbed her hand and led her to the hold She smiled a bit, "Th-thank y-you."

Then she went back to thinking why the heck she said she would tell him.
