Chapter 8
Interviewing Gutt.
"Welcome back everyone! Please welcome Captain Gutt!" I say awkwardly.
Captain Gutt was bouncing and rattling in his cage, exclaiming primate screeches as some clapped, while most booed. His shouts so loud I had to move my chair to the other end of the room, barely able to open my eyes because of the level of sound.
"Hey hey!" I yell at the crying simian. Gutt stopped and looked over at me.
"Turn down the volume and drop the bass down low! My ears are gonna start bleeding!" I said.
"Well explain to me WHY I am in this cage!"
"You know perfectly well! So does Soto!"
"What?"
"Both of you threatened Diego and Shira that you'd kill Jade and harm the triplets. And you think I gonna have that? Nuh uh!"
"Come on Cookie! I thought you were Cool!"
"Not when it comes to trying to kill my guest or spitting abuse at my audience! What show do you think this IS!? The Maury show? Jerry Springer? Steven Wilkos? Jeremy Kyle?"
Everyone laughed at Gutt's facial expression. But i glared at all of them too.
"And I won't have my audience tormenting my guests! You will treat him nicely! You follow?"
Everyone was very quiet now, some hanging their heads low. I nod at them all with a 'I thought so.' Along with it.
"Just get on with the questions." Gutt snapped, sitting in a lotus position in the middle of the cage. He crossed his arms and pouted like a little two-year old.
"You gonna bite me?" I say nervously, picking up my chair and slowly making my way towards.
"I'm tempted by the offer."
"It's not an offer. "
"Then why ask me the question numb skull," He says.
"Do you wanna know what my asked you?"
"Yes!"
"Okay! Then don't be cheeky! Your first four questions are from 'Guest'," I say, settling in the chair again, closer to Gutt this time. "And this person says; I got some! 1. Did you ever see your crew as your family?
"Not all the time," the primate answered. "'Cos most of the time they got on my nerves. I definitely hate them now seeing as they left me because of that girl!"
"Meanie! They don't look like they'd get on someone's nerves!" I protest, shaking my head at him piteously. "I thought they made a good choice anyway!"
"Just move on! I don't want to remember. Question 2. What was your reaction when Soto told you Savannah was Diego and Shira's child?"
Gutt smiled evilly.
"Firstly," he began. "I found it hard to believe, but when I saw her in-person, face-to-face, I could see resemblance. She had Diego's eyes as a human, and then when her hair turned white you could sort-of say she was Shira's, but it was mind blowing when I saw her back stage, giving me an evil look and growled at me when I saw the babies."
"Well it was obvious," I say. "This is the reason we have you in the cage! You threatened to hurt them as soon as you saw them. Speaking of the three little ones; Question 3 is; How would you react if you found out they had triplets since your last battle?"
Gutt shrugged.
"I did found it weird at first. But then I thought; I don't care about her. She betrayed me."
"What I see," I say. "She did the right thing."
Everyone nodded and agreed with me with a bunch of mumbles. Gutt squinted his eyes.
"And what is question 4?" He asked impatiently.
"What do you think of Jade/Savannah?" I answer.
"I think nothing of that child. I did at first."
"What did you think at first?" I ask.
"She seemed head-strong, like her inherits, and smart."
"But why do you not think of anything of her now?"
"She is the spawn of my enemy. My once first mate and friend, who is now a traitor."
I was about to open my mouth and protest, but then close my eyes for a spilt second.
Leave it there...I told myself silently. Don't make the hole deeper... especially with a homicidal manic primate. I took a deep breath and re-opened my eyes and looked over at Gutt.
"Okay moving on..." I say slowly. I look at the next question, read it within 2 seconds, and then hid my eyes.
"Oh my sweet Muffins..."
Gutt looked at me uncertainly, his eyebrow raised s he crawled towards me.
"What is it?" He asked.
I shake my head and just passed him the question. He snatched it from my out-stretched hand.
"From 'Guest'," he said slowly. "question for gutt: hi, do u have a girlfriend at the moment? If not, give cookie M 2012 a kiss..." Gutt's eyes widened as he stared at me.
"You serious?"
I nodded. "...On the lips! From a person who wants to know."
Everyone burst out laughing. I stared at Gutt's rotten and golden teeth, and shuddered. Gutt took one look at me and shuddered too.
"Well it's not gonna happen!" Said Gutt, turning his back on me. "I have someone!"
"THANK GOD!" I declared, clutching my shirt, sighing with relief. Everyone laughed at my reaction. I wiped my forehead thank fully.
"OK! Lets forget my little episode there." I say, blushing brightly. "Well tell us Gutt, who is the... eh... lucky lady?"
"Her name is Lulu." He answered, turning his whole body back towards me. "A white monkey with Sapphire blue eyes."
"Sounds pretty." I compliment. For the first time ever, Gutt smiled at me. Not in an evil way. Nor a threatening way.
Just an ordinary friendly smile.
I smile back as I looked at the next question.
"Frostpinkloverfr has 6 questions to ask you. Question 1 is why are you so against Manny, Sid and Diego?"
"Why you ask?" He said slowly. Then he suddenly yelled, jumping about in the cage. "THEY MADE MY FIRST MADE TURN AGAINST ME!"
"OK! JUST STOP SCREAMING! CALM DOWN!" I shout. When he finally did. I just shook my head.
"I knew Mr-Go-Happy-Coco Pops-Monkey wasn't going to last." I mutter before announcing question 2. "Why are you so harsh on your crew?"
"Hey I was NEVER harsh!"
"You so were!" Shouted someone from the audience.
"You wanna piece of me!" Gutt said, throwing his fist towards the cage.
"Put up your dukes monkey man!" Said the person from the audience, standing up tall and proud, rotating his fists clock wise.
"Hey!" I said standing up. "I'm sorry but if you don't sit down I'm to have you to be removed! Or YOU will also tag along in a cage also!"
The person hung his head and sat down slowly, not making a sound.
"I'm just gonna skip the question and move on..." I said.
"You should." said Gutt, nodding with agreement.
"So question 3 is; Didn't you die when you got tricked by sirens?"
Gutt chuckled and tapped the bridge of his nose.
"You'll never know." He said.
"Okay don't tell. Question 4. What is it like being an orang-utan? "
"I AM NOT AN ORANG-UTAN!" Gutt yelled, making the whole room shake. His face was full of pure anger, I couldn't help laughing.
"Oh thus person knows!" I say, chuckling. "She added; I know your an ape I just want to see your face when I say orang-utan."
"Yep. So question 5. Do you think I will ever stop talking?"
"I think Cookie never will Frost-whatever-you-name-is. I find her quite a chatterbox indeed."
"Hey!" I say.
"What I answered her question!"
"She meant HERSELF WITH THE QUESTIONS!" I shout, feeling hurt.
"Oh sorry."
"Sure you are." I say, muttering "Me a chatterbox! Huh!" As I look at question 6. "What did you feel like when your crew turned on you?"
"Exactly like when Shira turned on me. I felt betrayed."
"I'm sure that sucked..." I said sympathetically.
"No kidding Sherlock!" Gutt answered sarcastically.
"Well sorry!" I say, getting annoyed with his attitude. "Anyway you have another good few questions to answer! Another Guest asked Did you ever have feelings for Shira?"
Gutt's froze in his tracks. The audience gasped.
"What?" I asked to everyone.
"Repeat that again?"
"Did you ever have feelings for Shira?" I repeated obediently.
Gutt looked at me for a spilt second, before slowly turning away from me. My eyes went huge.
"Nawh!" I exclaim.
"SH!" Gutt hissed. He sighed and hid his face in his matted fur of his arm. "Yes... I did... once."
"Aw..." Said the audience.
"But," he said suddenly. "I'm glad she is with Diego... he makes her happy... I want what's best for her."
"You do care!" I say. I leapt up out of my chair and jumped up and down joyfully. "I just knew it!"
"Just move on!" He ordered.
"OK! Keep your pants on! Well- if you had any for that matter." I said with a chuckle. "Anyway DonTheHero has a question. But I think he should say it himself."
"What are you saying?" Gutt asked.
"What I'm saying Gutt," I began, "I invited DonTheHero to be herein the audience now and say it for himself. DonTheHero everyone!"
Everyone cheered as DonTheHero stood up and waved at them all, at me, and then gave Gutt a death glare.
"Now it's really like the Maury show." He muttered. I just shook my head.
"No," i said uncertainly. I then leaned in and whispered. "I just don't think he likes you."
"My question for Gutt," DonTheHero began in a low voice, interrupting me . He then looked at Gutt dead in the eye, his emotion showing nothing but pure anger. "HOW THE HELL DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF AFTER YOU MAMMOTH-NAPPED ELLIE AND PEACHES AND THEN USE SAVANNAH TO BAIT THE HERD? YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT I'M NOT UP THERE WITH YOU! OR ELSE I WOULD *large truck rolls by and a massive car crash happens for 30 secs.* AND NAIL YOUR BLOODY HEAD TO MY WALL!"
Everyone was leaning back, and everyone beside him at least shifted to different seats, or leaned away from him.
"Are you done?" I ask, flinching only once during his rant.
"Yep, I'm good. Done raging now. Good work as always Cookie good luck and keep up the excellent work!" Said DonTheHero. I smiled.
"Thanks for the compliment." I say. DonTheHero nodded and gave Gutt a glare and he watched me gesture him to sit down.
"Do you have an answer Gutt?"
No reply.
"Gutt? Hello?"
I peep inside the cage and saw the distraught monkey frozen.
"Do I need to get ice water?"
"NO! I don't have an answer! Just get a move on!"
"Okay... AJB asked Is it true that you had been a mean, crazy, sadistic ape who ever sailed across the seven seas in the 4th film?" I question.
"Apparently I still am buddy!" Gutt answered.
I nod.
"Reasonable answer. VanessaAndEllieTheVamps has two questions for you. 1).*yells really loud* WHY ARE YOU SUCH A D**K?"
"I am so not! Watch your tongue missy!" Gutt threatened.
"I said nothing. It was just a viewer asking an innocent question! Anyway question 2. Any particular reason you some times look really constipated?"
"I don't look constipated!"
"You do when you laugh... when you cry..."
"Pirates never cry!"
"Okay I'll let you believe what you want to believe." I turn my head to the audience, and mouthed 'yes they do!' Before asking the next question.
"TimberPaw asks; 1. Who taught you and your crew the pirate song, you and your crew sang on the boat?"
"No one. We wrote it and learnt it ourselves."
"I thought the song writers for Blue Sky Studio's wrote it..."
Gutt tilted his head slightly.
"Who?"
"Nevermind!" I said quickly. "Question 2. Who gave you those golden teeth?"
"No one. After years of not brushing your teeth. I can guarantee you'll have the nicest pirate teeth in the world!" He smiled again as he said this, making me gag at the over powering smell of his horrendous breath.
"Wanna tic-tac?" I ask, holding out a box of tic-tac's, squeezing my arm through the cage. Gutt reached out surprisingly and took one. and chewed happily.
"Okay next we have TimberPaw." I began. "And he asked; 1. How do you became a captain and how have you found the other crew members, especially Shira?"
"Well you all know now that I found her when she was a teenager. Around 16 as a matter of fact. She was wondering around as if she was running away from something. Which she was. As for the others, I found them all in a group."
"Not gonna tell us where?"
"No need, I don't want to get into details."
"Okay. Just asking. Question 2 is; Why dont you care about your crew!? What a captain are you? And dont say you do! Remember the situation when you left Shira behind in the ocean!"
"I did care about my crew!"
"'Did'." I say. "Key word there. How come?"
"I knew Shira would guide the mammoth and his friends towards me. But I couldn't be more stupid to trust her. The reason i said 'did' was because they took Jade's side." He whacked the cage. "Traitors!"
"Came down! The last thing TimberPaw wants to know is; Have you never felt regret in you whole life? How could you live with the fact, that you have (I think you did it) killed so much animals in your life?"
"Hey! Who said I killed animals?"
"Well," I say, looking at me questioningly. "You nearly killed Jade when she was known as Savannah the human..."
"She was a human!"
"WAS! Another key word!"
"Stop with the key words!"
"You can't tell me what to do!"
"Well TimberPaw added at the end; 'Hope this questions opened your eyes a bit...'
"Well it hasn't."
I shook my head at him, showing that i was ashamed of his actions. "MBSAVfan1 asked you the next 3 questions. 1) Gut, tell me this. According the the blue ray movie extra, you once had a family! Now dont lie to me! I MUST know! I'm DESPERATE! Did this mean like... wife and kids, or...? Please tell me!"
"Yes I did. I don't want to say anymore..."
"Okay. No need to. Okay question 2) Aside from Shira, which of your crew is your favorite?"
"It'll have to be Raz. She was always loyal to me... until-" He began. I stopped him there, knowing he was getting uncomfortable.
"We know because of the battle between Diego and Shira. Anyway question 3) CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH? C'mon, please! I'm like a huge fan of you AND your crew."
Gutt smiled.
"Sure!" I gave him a piece of blank paper and he signed it happily.
Captin Gutt.
I smiled back, not bothering to point out his one little spelling error i detected.
"Are we nearly done yet?" He asked.
"Nearly. Not far now. Shiego627 asked Gutt how in the world did you get that boat and sword."
GUtt held up his hands and wriggled his fingers.
"Some say I got power in this fair hands of mine!"
"Maybe. Okay the warrior405 said; 'Dear Gutt how does it feel to have tons of people (myself included) want to kill you? *evil laugh*'
"Does it look like I care?" He declared. But I knew, we all knew that deep down, he was actually scared...
"SirCreepington9th asked 3 questions," I began once again. "1. What was your family like?"
"Pass,"
I look at him questioningly.
"Huh?"
"You heard." He said. He bowed his head, and i nodded, now understanding.
"Okay here is one that might interest you! Why did you insist on kidnapping people?"
"It's just a hobby." He said simply.
"A very strange one i must point out." I say.
Gutt smiled and nodded.
"And feel free to ponder and question. Try kidnapping sometime and you'll love it."
"Maybe..." I said uncertainy. I looked at the final question. "Well there is no point answering question 3 seeing as youvanswered it eariler; Were you ever in love with someone?"
"No need indeed." Confirmed Gutt.
"And we are finally at our last question!" I announce. "From Megan. Daisy .9; What did you think of Soto and his pack when you first met them?"
"I was actually scared because they were gonna eat me."
I laughed cheerfully and Gutt gave a litttle chuckle.
"Can I get out of thus cage now?" He asked.
"No. You AND Soto have to prove that you will behave from now on and don't harm Jade OR the triplets."
"Darn."
"Gutt the Pirate Ape everyone!"
This tine, everyone cheered as Gutt was wheeled of stage, waving at me and the audience farewell. I smile and wave back.
"Okay everyone! We shall proceed our interviewing after the break! Granny the sloth is up next!"
There!
Phew! That chapter took me 3 days to write!
Looks to me that Gutt was REALLY popular!
SO sorry for the long wait!
So to say sorry i wrote this really long chapter! I tried to give Gutt a bath, but i nearly drowned during the process!
But don't worry! I'm still living! I disappeared becuase...
Lots of things have been happening recently...
Schoolwise mostly...
But also something else i do not to express publically because i will sound like I'm boasting! And it's kinda upsetting as well.
Well Granny is next!
Start sending in questions!
