James: Hey everyone, happy Saturday. And it's time for another update. We apologize if we didn't post a chapter last weekend it was because I was gone all weekend. I had a four-day weekend so I was busy with family parties and having family over. So again we do apologize about last weekend.
Mel: Ya, sorry about that... We both were pretty busy. But now we should be back on track I think... At least until Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas roll around, then things get crazy! But I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as last times. R&R! :)
Chapter 16: Pirate Cove
*After dinner and cleaning up*
Lloyd: So what game have you come up with?
James: Okay this is one that Melody would know so I need you, Cole, Lucas, Kai, and Nya to come with me. Everyone else stay here. *and the six ran upstairs*
Jay: What game is it?
Mel: I don't know. Jimmy and I always had fun games to play when we were young and had the neighborhood kids here. So this one is unpredictable.
*With James, Lloyd, Lucas, Cole, Kai, and Nya*
James: *opens the closet and shuffles through and found a small coil of rope and turned to Lloyd* I call it Pirate Cove. Where one team takes the other's shipmate and they have to save him. That's where you come in Lloyd. You're the other's teams missing shipmate.
Lloyd: *sees the rope in curiosity * Um, what about the rope?
James: *mischievous smile* To make it more dramatic. *and quickly went behind Lloyd and tied his hands behind his back, but not to tight for him.* Alright with the squirt tied now, I got something's for all of us to use to be like pirates. *reaches in the closet and pulled out foam swords and pirate appeal clothing*
Everyone else: *nodded and began to dress themselves up and took a sword*
*With Melody, Dawn, Jay, and Zane*
Mel: What are you playing at now, James.
Dawn: So is it going to be another mummy game or something else?
Mel: I don't know. My brother is clever to keep games secret. What ever he plans to...
James: *evil laugh* We have captured one of your matey's and he'll be walking the plank soon.
Mel: *turns around and smirked to see her brother and friends dressed as pirates with Lloyd as their hostage* Oh this game. *and catches a foam sword from Nya* I haven't played this in a long time.
James: *grabs Lloyd and seated him on the couch* This here is the ship's brig. The floor is the deck. If you don't rescue your shipmate in twenty minutes, he'll be walking the plank, which is the dining room. And if you get stabbed and killed, there's a minute penalty in the kitchen and then can come back in. Give them their swords.
Kai: Yes captain. *threw in a sword for Dawn, Jay, and Zane*
Cole: You going down scallywags.
Dawn: Bring it on, bro.
James: Two minutes and we'll begin.
Lloyd: Help me!
Mel: I haven't played this in YEARS! It was one of James' favorite games when we were little. This will be fun! Time to rescue Lloyd! *speaking* Alright guys huddle up!
Jay, Dawn, and Zane: *surround her*
Dawn: What's the plan?
Mel: There's four of us and five of them and we only have twenty minutes to rescue our shipmate. Who do you guys match up with?
Zane: Based on size, and overall comparisons, Dawn would be Nya's match, Mine would be Cole's, Jay would get Kai, and Melody would be with James.
Jay: Alright, so what do we do?
Mel: I think, since I'm the smallest I will try to sneak in and rescue Lloyd. Our best bet would be to land a hit on someone to even out the numbers.
Dawn: I see what you're saying Melody and it seems simple enough.
Zane: But wouldn't they put a 'guard' on Lloyd?
Mel: *nods* Most likely. That's why I'll use stealth to get to him.
Jay: I'll go around and attack from the left, Zane you get the right, Dawn you attack head on and give Melody a little cover to sneak in.
Mel: Sounds like a deal!
James: Avast ye scallywags! The game begins!
Jay, Zane, and Dawn: *lunge at the others to attack*
Mel: *jumps behind the banister to the stairs* If I can sneak around to the back staircase, I can enter the room from the other side and sneak attack the guard. *quietly slips upstairs*
*In the main 'battle'*
Dawn: Ye took me mate! Now ye pay!
Nya: Never! Haha!
Girls: *start sparing with their 'swords'*
Zane: You can not win pirates! *hits Cole with his 'sword'*
Cole: Eep! I'm hit!
James: Just go into the kitchen for a minute.
Cole: *walks into the kitchen*
James: *while he's distracted, gets hit by Jay* Aw man! No fair! *goes to the kitchen*
Jay: Two down, three to go!
Kai: Not if I can help it!
Lloyd: Help me! *fake screams*
Lucas: You're not going anywhere dog! *pushes the tip of the 'sword' to Lloyd's throat*
Lloyd: Eep! *carefully nods, keeping his mouth shut*
Zane: *blocks sword from Nya and jumped over her, but Nya, being quick, turned around and swung her sword at Zane* Augh, you got me.
Nya: You're minced meat now!
Dawn: I don't think so! *swung her sword at Nya and Nya blocked it*
Zane: Dawn, catch! *threw his sword to her*
Dawn: *catches it and dual wielded the sword at Nya and Kai*
James: *come back in the game with Cole and helped him 'kill' Dawn* You're dead you scallywag.
Dawn: Just wait for your funeral, captain.
Jay: I got him for you. *and began sparring with James*
James: Go find my sister! She might be planning a sneak attack on saving the boy! I'll take care of them!
Kai, Cole, and Nya: Yes captain! *and ran upstairs*
*With Melody*
Mel: *running down the hall to the staircase to the kitchen*
Cole: There she is!
Mel: *turns around and saw Cole, Kai, and Nya running towards her*
Nya: You'll never get him! He knows the location to the treasure and we need him!
Mel: I'll fight you for him then. *lunges herself at Nya and blocked her attacks and twirled her body and landed a blow to her chest*
Nya: *gives out a fake cry of pain and laid limp on the floor*
Mel: Who's next?
Cole and Kai: *lunge themselves at Melody and sparred against her*
Mel: *blocks their attacks and scored a slice across their limbs*
Cole and Kai: *fell to the floor and laid limp*
Mel: With them dead, I can save Lloyd. *picked up Kai's sword and ran down the stairs*
*A few moments later*
Mel: *sneaks around the corner and down the hallway, sees Lloyd with the tip of Lucas' 'sword' at his throat* Time to pull an old trick... *speaking* You be no match for me, scallywag!
Lucas: *turns to his right, as he heard Melody's voice from the hall there, when really she's behind them* Not if I have anything to say about it! Captain! Permission to chase her?
James: *looks up from dueling* Granted. Get her at all costs!
Lucas: *takes off down the hallway*
Mel: Yes! Now to get Lloyd... *sneaks into the room, hiding behind various furniture and reaches the couch, and whispers* Lloyd! Don't say anything, but I'm right behind you!
Lloyd: *turns his head slightly to see Melody behind the couch, mouthing* What? I thought... *nudges head towards other hall*
Mel: Tell you later, let's get you out of here! *pulls Lloyd over the back of the couch and undoes his ties* Here, I took this from Kai. *hands him a sword* Now let's go! We've got to get to the other side of the living room.
Lloyd: *whispering* What are we gonna do? Just charge?
Mel: Yup, wait for my signal... *counts off on her fingers and yells* Now!
Both: *charge, whacking any of the other team that comes to close*
James: Me last stand will be with you, lassie!
Mel: Run Lloyd! I'll take this one!
Lloyd: Yes ma'am! *runs over to Zane*
James: Let our duel begin ye lass!
Mel: Bring it on you scurvy dog. *launched herself at her twin*
James: *blocked his twin's attack and sent his own attacks* Just like old times.
Mel: You never beaten me.
James: *cross their swords and were face to face* Truth be told, I wasn't even trying.
Mel: Neither was I. *releases her sword and stood a few feet back*
James: Ah lassie, you can't take my map from me. He knows the location to the treasure and we need him.
Mel: And you can't take small children from their homes. *launched herself at her twin and the two were in an intense sparring*
Lucas: *running back into the living room* Captain, she slipped past me. *sees the twins fighting* Never mind you got it covered.
James: Get the map!
Mel: Protect him at all costs!
Everyone but the twins: Captain! *and were in an intense battle*
James: *ran upstairs to observation room, that didn't have any railings, above the living room with Melody behind him* Time for the grand finale. *and launched himself to Melody.
Everyone, but the twins: *stopped fighting and watched the two fight above them as the battle grew intense to the two 'captains'*
James: *took a step back and felt his heel not touching any ground and looked back to see the living room below him with the couch below him*
Mel: This is where you'll die, Captain James.
James: Ah lassie, that's where you're wrong. This will be your deathbed, Captain Melody. *and launched the final blow to her*
Mel: *thrusts the sword forward and went between her twin's right underarm and chest. Making it like she pierced his heart*
James: *gasped and stopped in his tracks. Looks at the sword and then his sister with a sly smile* Well done. *took a step back and fell down from the second floor and landed the couch with his eyes closed like he was dead*
Mel: The captain is dead. Those that wish to join me must be part of me crew. If not, then perish as him.
Cole, Kai, Nya, and Lucas: *knelt to one knee* We will join you now.
James: *wakes up and gets off the couch* Okay that was fun. Game over.
Lloyd: I had fun! What should we do next?
Mel: For you, that next is bed.
Lloyd: Awww! I don't want to!
James: She's right, Lloyd. How about this, we'll have some ice cream and then will you go to bed?
Lloyd: *still pouting* I guess so...
Lucas: You don't want to be too tired for tomorrow Shrimp, there's a lot more to do.
Mel: Come on, we've got chocolate ice cream in the kitchen.
Jay: Yum, I'm for that!
Everyone: *troops into the kitchen and gets some ice cream*
*10 minute later*
Mel: Time for bed, Lloyd!
Lloyd: *sigh, knowing it was no use to argue* Yes Melody.
Mel: Let's go, Pipsqueak. *they go upstairs*
Lloyd: I forget which bed is mine...
Mel: Bottom bunk over here Lloyd, under Lucas. Let's get your PJs on squirt.
Lloyd: Alright. *picks up his green PJs and goes into the bathroom*
Mel: Don't forget to brush your teeth!
Lloyd: I won't! *comes out a minute later*
Mel: How are you feeling Lloyd?
Lloyd: Hm.. a little... tired? I don't know... but I'm cold.
Mel: Come here. *he walks over and she feels his forehead* Hm... what do you mean by tired? Like sleepy?
Lloyd: No... I don't really know.
Mel: *looks worried* You've got a slight fever, so call for me if you feel worse, alright?
Lloyd: *climbs into bed* yes Melody. I will.
Mel: *tucks him in and kisses his forehead* Good night Lloyd sweet dreams.
Lloyd: Good night Melody!
Mel: *walks out and back downstairs to see everyone playing truth or dare* Well, this can't end well...
