Chapter 17
'Whats taking those guys so long?' Mia thought to herself as she was standing on the deck of the boat. 'Its been three hours already. Well, might as well go buy some food other than meat since that's all they'll bring back anyway.' she thought as she got off the boat and went into the market place.
"Now what should I get?" She asked herself as she looked through the stands and stands of fruits and vegetables.
"These look good," she said to herself as she picked up a bundle of bananas.
"That will be five bellis if you plan on getting it," a boy said behind the stand as he looked up to her.
"Hey, your that guy from yesterday," she pointed out.
"Oh, are you talking about that group of people that were looking for meat, then yes I am," he replied. "Anyway, did they get anything yet?" He asked.
She thought to herself for a moment. "Well, last night they didn't come back with anything, I got mad at them for that. I hope they get something today," she told him.
"Really," he said. "Well, I guess I forgot to warn you guys yesterday," he started.
"Warn us? About what?" Mia asked.
"About Scout," he said. "She's this girl that lives in the forest. She likes taking the animals the hunter shoot down before they get to them." He explained.
"Before they get to them? What do you mean?" Mia asked.
"Well," he said, "when she was younger she ate a devil fruit. She ate the Dog Dog Fruit Model: Pointer."
"Pointer?"
"Yeah, it's a hunting dog. She can change into the form of one. She can run pretty fast and likes to eat birds people catch." he explained.
"Really, well just knowing them I think they'll run into a problem with her." Mia said.
"Really?"
"Yeah," she said.
"Hey anyway, you guys are pirates aren't you?" He asked.
"Yeah why?"
"Well, I was wondering if you guys needed any positions to be filled or something like that."
"Why do you ask?"
"Nothing really, I just really want to get off this island right now and away from my parents. They can be really demanding at times and complain about how they don't see anything happening in my future. It gets annoying sometimes and I think they just want me to grow up and leave."
"Oh, say what's your name?" Mia asked him.
"My name, Ian."

Back in the forest:
Shayne somehow finds the courage to get past the bush and see what's behind it. What he finds surprises him. He sees a dark brown dog. On its body was two dark brown spots, and the rest seemed to be a mix of speckled brown and white dots. In its mouth was a bird.
"So what is it?" Blade asked.
All Shayne could do was stare down at it. "Hey Kan," he said turning around. "I think I know where the birds went."
"What do you mean?" He asked coming up behind him. "Oh."
Then all of a sudden the dog changed form into a human. It was a girl about 11 years old. "Sorry," she said while rubbing the back of her head. She had a look on her face that could just tell she was guilty. "The way you guys shot them down. It just cooked them up just right- to the right tempature- and it looked really good- and yummy-" now she was stuttering.
"I see what you mean," Kan said.
"Hey what you guys looking at?" Yousef said as he came up from behind to get a look at what they were seeing, followed by Blade. "Oh, she looks cute."
The amount of people that all of a sudden seemed to scare the girl and she started to get tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry!" She yelled. "Really, really, sorry!" Now she was bawling tears.
"You guys scared her," Shayne said. "Hey don't cry," he tried to cheer the girl up. "We won't get mad at you."
This seemed to make the girl feel a little better. After she stopped crying they all got a good look at her. She seemed about Kan's age. At least telling from her height and the way she acted when they first saw her.
"So, what's your name?" Kan asked.
She looked up at him in the eyes, and in a shy quiet voice she replied, "Scout."
please review
im basing Scout off of my dog at home. She's a German shorthaired pointer to be specific. Also very hyper and crazy.
