CHAPTER 10

NO FLAMES PLEASE :D

After breakfast, Pepe went back to his quarters to see Finn. He gave him instructions on what needed to be done in his station. He had to help Pepe move some stuff around so that way he was well organised.

After that he told Finn to meet Mark at the helm. When Finn went top side he was already recieving friendly smiles from some of the crew members especially from Rick, Sheldon and Bruce but also recieved weird looks from the rest. He ignored that part and continued walking to the helm.

Mark was checking to make sure everyone was doing their chores. Then he noticed Finn coming up to him.

"Hello Finn",greeted Mark

"Hello Mr. Castle",replied Finn

"Just Mark would be fine",said Mark

"Pepe told me to come to you for whatever I'm suppose to do",said Finn

"That's correct",replied Mark," All I need you to do is help out some of the crewmen."

Before Finn got started Mark stopped him for a second.

"I've noticed how most of the crew took a shine to you; especially them three",said Mark pointing at Rick, Sheldon and Bruce,"You can help them out, but not these brutes."

Finn looked at the muscled sailors (not in that way) and back to Mark.

"If anything goes wrong, use this",said Mark handing him a whistle

Finn nodded and hang the whistle on his neck. He went down and started doing his chores. First, he helped Sheldon scrub the deck. Second, he helped Bruce tied some of the sails. He showed Finn a trick on how to get up quickly by grabbing onto the hook and pull the lever so that way he wouldn't have to keep climbing up. Third, he and Rick were both helping Chef Paul prepare for tonight's meal.

Normally, most people would get sore after doing all that; but since Finn and Jake lived alone and both split up the chores , he still more energetic than anyone.

After dinner, Finn joined Pepe, Rick, Sheldon, and Bruce up on deck. Finn was enjoying the view; especially when the stars are out. When he looked at the water, he can see the star's reflection. It's like there was two skies and he couldn't tell which one the boat was sailing on.

They all sat down and shared stories. Whether it was ghost stories or legendary ship tales that involves treasure and pirates. Everyone took a turn at telling a story. When it was Finn's turn, all he told was his adventures. They were all impressed on what Finn can do even though he had help from Jake.

Pepe took a look at his watch and was surprise to see how late it was.

"Alright everyone, it's time we get inside."

All, except Pepe, groaned with annoyance.

"Now, now, we can all tell more stories tommorow",said Pepe,"We all need our rest for tomorrow."

Everyone got up and went to their quarters. Before Finn went to bed, Pepe wanted to ask him something.

"You have a moment Finn?"

Finn nodded in response.

"I wanted to apologies for embarressing you at breakfast",said Pepe feeling a little guilty

"Its fine",said Finn forgiving him

"I was also wondering if you have more of those pictures with you",said Pepe wanting to see them

Finn nodded and went to his back-pack. He kept digging 'til he found his photo album. He handed it to Pepe. When the dock opened it, he saw pictures of Finn and everyone he knew.

As Pepe flipped through the pages, there was one that caught his eye. It was a picture of Dr. Princess giving some candy person a check up. Pepe felt very captivated by her beauty. He felt his heart pounding rapidly. He didn't even hear Finn calling him.

"Pepe, you there?",asked Finn feeling worried and snapping his fingers a couple of times

"Huh? Oh, sorry its just that..."

Finn saw the look Pepe had when he looked back at Dr. Princess' photo. Then he noticed him blushing and put 2 and 2 together.

"I see what's going on here",said Finn giving him the same look that Jake gives him,"You have a crush."

Pepe couldn't believe how right Finn was. Normally he would scowld the the boy for being a smart mouth, but he deserved it for embarressing Finn.

"I'm sorry. It's just that, she's so beautiful",said Pepe still blushing,"Who is she?"

"That's Dr. Princess",replied Finn

"Amazing!",exclaimed Pepe",She's a doctor and a princess."

Finn started chuckling.

"No dude, she's only a doctor",said Finn," She just looks like a princess."

"Oh",said Pepe feeling embarrassed

Finn sensed how embarressed Pepe felt so he tried to make him feel better.

"Hey its alright. A lot people get that after meeting her. Even I did when I first saw her."

Pepe felt better after what Finn said. Then felt surprise at what he said next.

"If you like, you can keep it."

"Oh no, I couldn't",protested Pepe

"I have other pictures, so it's okay",said Finn

Pepe couldn't argue with that; so he thanked Finn for the gift and went straight to bed. Once morning rose, both Pepe and Finn got up.

"Did you sleep well Finn?",asked Pepe

Finn nodded

"By any chance, did you have that dream again?",asked Pepe

"Yes",replied Finn

(A/N: If you get confused, he's dreaming about being on the boat and hearing that mystery girl calling him)

"Any changes?",asked Pepe hoping for some news

"Actually, yes",replied Finn

"Did you finally see the girl's face?",asked Pepe

"Not exactlly",replied Finn,"All I saw was a body, but it was kind of blurry."

"Well at least you're getting closer",said Pepe reassuring him

Finn smiled after hearing what he said. Then they left Pepe's quarters, head to the mess hall and ate breakfast with Rick, Sheldon and Bruce. After that, they did the same chores he was assigned yesturday.

During the two months at sea, Finn's dreams were coming bio-weekly. Every Sunday night for those two weeks, he seems to be getting closer to identifying this girl. Then on the final night, Finn finally saw the face of girl that calls him.

When morning rose, Finn got up way earlier than Pepe and woke him up.

"Huh, geez Finn, usually I get up before you",said Pepe getting up

"Sorry Pepe, but I got to tell you something important",said Finn feeling excited

"What is it?",asked Pepe after washing his face

"I finally saw her",replied Finn

"Who?",asked Pepe

"The girl in my dream",said Finn

Pepe was shocked after hearing this. Before Finn said anything else, Pepe had something to say as well.

"I think the Captain should hear about this. But first you should eat something."

Finn nodded and was about to walk out when he noticed the doctor not coming.

"Aren't you gonna eat Pepe?"

"Not right now",replied Pepe,"I need to do a quick check up on some of the crewmen."

Finn understood and started walking. He was a few feet when Pepe stopped him.

"If you see Rick, Sheldon, and Bruce, tell them I liked to see them and also don't tell them about your dream yet."

Finn nodded and continued walking torwards the mess hall. Mean while, Reggie was in an empty room waiting for his accomplances 'til he heard a knock. Entering are two of three crewmen that gave Finn a wired while he was getting the grand tour of the ship.

"About time you thre...Wait, where's the other guy?",asked Reggie

"He said he'll catch and start the meeting without him",replied crewman #1

"Alright, here's what we're gonna do",said Reggie about to explain the plan

Up on deck, the supposed abscent accomplance had managed to catch the ship's cabin boy heading towards the Captain's cabin. He silently walk to the door, knelt down, carefully put the cup on the door without making any noise and place his ear on it where he hear people talking.

"What do you have for us so far?",asked Captain Johnson

"I've seen Reggie storing up some barrels in a secret room",replied the cabin boy

"That explains the shortage of barrels",said Mark

"Anything else?",asked Captain Johnson

"A couple of white paint cans, sir"replied the cabin boy

The accomplance heard enough and quickly got out of dodge and started heading towards the place where Reggie will be.

'The boss is gonna want to hear about this',thought the third accomplance

Back at the hideout, Reggie was done explaining the plans when the third accomplance came in.

"About time you showed up",said crewman #2

"We gotta problem boss",said crewman #3

"What's the problem?",asked Reggie

I saw the cabin boy going to the Captain's cabin and I heard him telling everyone about the barrels and paint that we stored",answered crewman#3

"Glob dammit",complained Reggie

"Should we abort the mission?",asked crewman#1

"No",replied Reggie,"The plan must go on."

He looks at the 3rd crewman.

"Make sure you locate that rat and take care of him personally",ordered Reggie

"Aye, sir",replied crewman #3

"Good. Now get going",ordered Reggie

The three accomplances left the room. Suddenly, Reggie started laughing evilly.

"By the time they figure out everything, it'll already be too late."
