Clever Amber
Dove, Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux and Stormy Alex stood before the newest
Governor Asia (You know how these Monquistan monkeys are and always getting new
Governors because they can't stop betraying eachother). Those pirates didn't
exactly stand either, try captured in a mess of tiny chains and forced onto their
knees.
"Get off of
me or I'll blow my gun, mate" Stormy Alex spit as a monkey guard tried to
pin him down. Governor Asia, as her elegant self, tip-toed on her furry feet
toward Stormy Alex. She leaned in toward him and spoke firmly.
"Why were
you three caught in the draining tunnels?"
Clever Amber Dove
exchanged glances with Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux and nodded. "Your
highness, permission to speak?" Amber asked.
"If you plan
on answering my question, yes. But make it quick because I ought to make my way
to the Summer Ball. I've heard they have craters full of bananas arriving"
replied Governor Asia.
"Thats, uh,
exactly it! Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux and I were trying to sneak to the Summer
Ball because our home in Skull Island doesn't have such elegant social
gatherings. You see, we pirates are dressed like filthy peasants all the time
and I just really wanted to dress up appropriately for once, like all of you.
And, um--" Amber began rambling until Governor Asia interrupted her.
"What about
Stormy Alex and why were you found heading into the gold bank?"
"My
queen," said Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux. "Stormy Alex abducted us on
our way to the ball to use our excuse for traveling if we ever got caught and
dragged us to help him steal the gold--"
"You liar!
Don't you see them fooling you, you barbaric little ape!" Stormy Alex
yelled at Governor Asia. Then he turned to Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux and began
to accuse her of backstabbing him when she winked at him and put her index
finger over her mouth. She was signalling to not say anything. Maybe she has a
plan?
Governor Asia
almost raised her voice when she spoke. "I don't like your tone young man.
Guards, take him away... But first, untie these two ladies. No worries you
hideous pirates, I'll dress you up and try to make you mildly presentable, I
suppose. All us girls have longing for a nice ball, I understand, even humans
like yourselves."
After the two
were unchained, Clever Amber Dove and Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux charged at Governor Asia
and held her. She yelped an "Ooh, ooh, ah ah!" and demanded that she
be let free. Before her guards could try to save her, Dead-Eye Destiny Devereaux told
them "Stop or we'll attack Governor Asia. Now untie Stormy Alex and we'll
pretend none of this ever happened."
"My guards,
don't--" Governor Asia started but Clever Amber Dove clamped her mouth.
She then sighed and mouthed "Eww".
Suddenly a loud
noise erupted in the room and the screaming started. To be continued...
