Chapter 44- (Where star was) The stranger's name is Gray.
(Little Garden, 10 minutes ago.)
"We're getting attacked?" Sapphire muttered to herself as Mr. 4 introduced himself.
Also happening right then, Bailey Star was saying goodbye to her turtle.
"I wouldn't want you to get hurt," Star said, "So please leave."
The turtle reluctantly dove underwater, swimming away.
"I'll see you again!" Star said.
"Hey, Star, are you strong?" Sapphire asked.
"Yeah, I guess so." Star said.
"Then come into our room and protect me, okay?" Sapphire asked.
(And that was where Star was the whole time...)
(Little Garden, Present Day)
"Is it over?" Star walked out of her and Sapphire's room.
"Sapphire, grab that Eternal Pose that the fire-breathing seagull is holding." Rocket said.
"Sure." Sapphire said, taking the Eternal Pose from the seagull that obediently gave it to her.
"When will we get there?" Rocket asked Leo.
"I don't know. We'd better stock up on food, though." Leo said.
"I'm a chef." Star said.
"Can I have some food, too?" the man who had saved them asked.
"Sure, just not in a giant bunch." Sapphire asked.

Once Dorry and Broggy had given the crew of the Sandy Dart some dinosaur meat, they set off.
"What is this crew's name?" the man who saved them asked.
"We're the Arrow Heart pirates." Rocket said.
"By the way, what's your name?" Sapphire asked.
"My name is Gray. What is your name, Chef?"
"Bailey Star," she said.
Then Rocket realized that he was still holding the seagull.
"You can go away now, seagull." Rocket said as the seagull flew up and headed towards Little Garden.
"Will you join my crew?" Rocket asked Gray.
"No, thanks." Gray said. "I'm already part of a crew."
"Who are they?" Rocket asked.
"A small crew, of five people and a bird." Gray said, looking at Sofire.
"You've met a few of them." Gray said. "In fact, the only ones you haven't met is the fifth strongest crew member and the captain."
