Quatre yawned and closed his eyes, ‘tomorrow… tomorrow we’ll be closer to land… Maybe we should just sneak away during the night.’ He sighed and opened his eyes and stared at the sleeping figure a few feet away from him. Dorothy had drifted off into a peaceful slumber and she looked so sweet and innocent… The moonlight hit her just right making it seems as if her hair was a shining white against the black sheets. ‘Ever since that kiss… I cared for her, I know I did… But I always thought it was on more of a friend level.’ His nose scrunched up and he glared, not at her, but at himself… If that’s possible. ‘Now that’s a lie, Quatre Winner… My feelings for her have always been a little more that just friends… But now… Definitely not just friends… Definitely!’
He sighed and rolled onto his back and stared at the cabin’s ceiling. ‘I need to get some sleep…’ Quatre closed his eyes and was just drifting to sleep when the sound of footsteps approached him. He didn’t move, but waited. A hand slapped over his mouth and he was yanked up. His blue eyes snapped open and peered at his captors. Two pirates.
Quatre struggled to get free, but they held him off the ground as if he was a rag doll and he glowered. His face twisted in disgust as a thought popped into his mind, but it was his only choice.
“OW! HE BLOODY BIT ME! HE BIT ME!” The hand that had been covering his mouth was jerked away as the pirate started yelling and cursing.
“DOROTHY!”
Dorothy bolted up, saw the scene, and stood up on the bed. “UNHAND HIM!” The two pirates didn’t listen to her, but instead one kept a grip on him as the other pointed a dagger at Dorothy. She scoffed, “I am Captain of this ship! You’ll be shark food as soon as I call my crew!”
“You fools can’t do anything right.” A figure in the shadows spoke and Dorothy stiffened as she felt the cold steel of a blade press against the small of her back.
“Great… Just great.” She muttered.
Quatre struggled even more as Daniel came into view. “YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!”
Daniel smiled cruelly, “Well now that you know Spider, I can’t just let you live… I don’t plan on giving up my ship…”
“My crew---.”
“They’ve all drank themselves into a stupor.” He smirked, “Some crew, milady.” He walked toward Quatre, sword still in hand. “Now to be rid of this meddlesome brat.”
“QUATRE! NO!” Dorothy flung herself onto Daniel and started beating him over the head. “DON’T YOU LAY A FINGER ON HIM!”
“AH!” Daniel yelled and swung his sword around as Dorothy clawed at his eyes. The sword nearly beheaded one of his pirates and the man let go of Quatre. He wanted to keep his head thank you very much. The other pirate stayed till a very pissed off Quatre picked up Dorothy’s black sword and showed the dude that he wasn’t a guy to mess with. The blond turned to see Daniel toss Dorothy off his back finally. She landed on the bed and stared at the ceiling, dazed. “Look at the pretty stars…”
“Dorothy?”
Daniel was enraged as Quatre ran to the girl and helped her up. She kept muttering something about stars and then she pinched his cheek. “Aren’t you just adorable!?” Quatre sweatdropped and Dorothy shook her head, sending her hair flying. “Whoa… That was strange.” Quatre nodded his agreement.
“DIE!” Daniel lunged at Quatre with the sword, trying to shish kabob him. The couple both jumped out of the way and Dorothy swung her fist at him.
“Ow…” Daniel fell to his knees, gasping for air. She’d nailed him right in the stomach.
Dorothy stood up anger clear on her face and punched him in the nose, “That’s for trying to hurt MY Quatre!”
“Your Quatre?” The blond boy piped up and she turned blushing.
“Uh…Well…Um…” She stopped when she saw that he was teasing her and started smiling. She stepped over the moaning Daniel and walked outside, Quatre following. She kicked one of her crewmates and he groaned and opened an eye.
“Yes, Captain?”
“First, there’re two pirates and an ex-captain around here that need to be taken care of… Shark bait…” She grinned wickedly at that thought then continued, “Then we are to set sail for Ravyn Woods.”
The man swallowed, “Ravyn Woods?”
Dorothy nodded, “Yes. Ravyn Woods.”
Ruby watched the two couples with growing amusement, ‘this is better than a soap opera!’ Heero and Trowa were walking side by side, while Jewel and Relena did the same a few feet from them. Every now and then one of the guys would glance at their respective girl, blush, and turn away. Then one of the girls would look, blush, and look away… ‘It really must’ve messed them up when we told them about that whole love spring incident.’
“Duo!” Hilde giggled and Ruby rolled her eyes. ‘It definitely didn’t mess up their relationship… I swear if they don’t stop cooing sweet nothings into each other’s ears, I’m gonna kill them…’ Her little fairy head titled, ‘No… I won’t kill Hilde; she’s my friend… I’ll just lock them in separate rooms…’
“Who’s my sweet little muffin?”
“I AM!” More giggling started and Ruby blanched and Wufei gagged.
“And you’re my sexy little grim reaper!”
“Grrrr!”
“Purr!”
“AH! THE INJUSTICE OF IT ALL! SHUT UP!”
“YEAH! UGH! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!”
Hilde, who was in Duo’s arms, stuck her tongue out at them. “You’re just jealous!”
“Yeah! I mean, it’s not our fault if you never even kiss your girl, Wu-man!”
“DON’T CALL ME THAT MAXWELL!”
“HE DOES TO KISS ME!”
Foxy hopped toward them, “Don’t tease them too much tiger,” that got her a glare from Hilde, “after all she is a tinny winny fairy! You can’t kiss a fairy!”
Ruby saw red and Wufei quickly grabbed her before she could try and kill the furry woman.
“Maybe we should go and stop them…” Relena looked over her shoulder at the arguing group behind them. Jewel shrugged, “You can if you want… Doubt it’ll do much good. AH! He’s looking this way!”
Trowa quickly turned away, “This is getting ridiculous…”
“Hn.” Heero glanced at Relena and the acrobat frowned.
‘Heero and Relena should’ve gotten together a long time ago… That love spring proved that he has feelings for her… Now all he needs is another extra boost.’ “Heero?”
Heero looked at him, “What?”
“I have a mission for you.” Trowa.
