kind of laughed. "You don't like to get hugs from your enemies. Remember?"
"But that was different...."
John started walking away.
"No. Don't leave," Zelda called after him. "Please, just one little hug. I don't care if it's a bear hug."
John disappeared.
"Oh crap," Zelda told herself.


John arrived to the captain's office. He knocked on the door.
"COME IN!" Olivia shouted from inside of the room.
John walked in. "Hello, captain."
Olivia noticed that John was shirtless. She didn't want to admit it, but she liked what she seen. "Why are you wearing a shirt?" she asked.
"It was hot outside."
"Put a shirt on."
"Yes, captain."
"Why are you in here?"
"For no reason," he answered, pulling his shirt on over his head.
"Then get out."
"Yes, captain." John left the room, disappointed.
Olivia was shocked. "What happened to my shipmate?" she asked herself.
Zelda walked in, shocked. "Why.... Why did you tell him to put his shirt back on? Did you see what he looked like without it on? I mean HELLO!!!"
"Do you like my shipmate, Zelda?"
"No. But I am dating his brother and he could have a body like that too you know. Do you like your shipmate, Olivia?" Zelda asked, eyeing Olivia.
"I told you a million times. The answer is no. And if I did, I wouldn''t tell you." Olivia was lying to Zelda. She did like John, but she wasn't going to tell Zelda.
"That's true." Zelda paused. "Peter Pan's driving the ship to Pluto as we speak."
"Okay." Zelda Gets Olivia Drunk

Everyone from both crews, and even Larry, were on the deck of the ship. They were having a party and rum bottles were all over the ground. Zelda leaned against Ben. She held a bottle of rum which she was sharing with him. "This is the best party ever," Zelda said.
"Captain, can we have some rum?" John asked Olivia.
"No," Olivia answered.
"No?" Zelda asked. "Oh, come on, Olivia. It's a party, let them drink. The only one, who I will not let drink rum, is Larry Boy. He's too young. Go ahead and drink as much rum as you like," she told John.
"Don't listen to her." Olivia was mad at Zelda for giving John permission to do something she was against. "She is not your captain. I said, 'No.'"
"Think about it this way, Olivia. They'll fall faster asleep."
"What?"
"I mean they'll fall asleep faster."
"Okay. Fine." Olivia gave in.
"Thanks, captain." John went to get a bottle of rum.
"I'm not drinking though," Olivia told Zelda.
"Never said you had to."
When Olivia wasn't looking, Zelda poured some rum into her water.
"What are you doing?" Ben asked Zelda.
"I'm trying to see how many drinks it takes for Olivia to get drunk."
Olivia took a sip.


After a few cups, Olivia started getting drunk and acted like an idiot. Zelda started laughing. John walked over to Zelda. He figured out what she had done.
"Did you put rum in her water?" he asked.
"Yea."
"Why?"
"Because she was a party pooper, now she's the life of the party."
"She's not going to be happy if she finds out."
"Oh, she's not going to find out."
"What are you saying?"
"If you tell her about this, then I'll tell her about your little secret." Zelda was black mailing him.
"You wouldn't."
"I would. I'll tell in a heart beat."
"Okay. Fine."
Olivia wobbled over to John. She put a hand on his chest. "Hi, John. You're the hottest guy around."
"Thank you," John told Zelda. He knew that if Olivia was in her right mind, she wouldn't have said that.
"Happy?" Zelda asked, smiling.
"Oh yea."
"This is for you, John." Olivia walked away from him. She started singing and dancing as well.
Zelda looked at the rum bottle and her eyes grew wide. "I think I used a little too much rum."
"No. You used enough."
Zelda looked at John. "Ok-ay. You're an idiot."


The next day, Olivia had a major headeack. She walked out on the deck over to Zelda and Ben. She was rubbing her head. "Ow. What happened last night?"
"Oh. You have a hang...." Ben started to say.
Zelda covered his mouth before he could finish the sentence. "You got knocked out last night," she lied.
"Oh."
John was heading toward them from behind Olivia. He had just walked out up onto the deck. "Oh man. Captain, you were...."
Olivia turned to face John. Zelda was behind Olivia, trying to get him to shut up.
John watched Zelda and remembered what they had talked about the night before. "You know that was all a dream. I don't know if I should of even said anything about it. Zelda, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yea. We'll be right back."
They walked away.
"Do you like my brother?" Ben asked Olivia.
"Did Zelda have you ask me that?"
"No. I just wanted to know. Do you?"
"No. Unlike Zelda, I don't fall in love with my shipmates. I'm not an idiot."
"Zelda's not an idiot," Ben said, standing up for his girlfriend. "At least, she has a heart," he pointed out.


Zelda and John were next to the captain's office.
"If you tell her what happened last night," Zelda warned him, "I swear I'll tell her your little secret."
"I know. Zelda, can you do one more thing for me, please?" he asked.
Zelda dropped her mouth. "But you...."
"I know, but this will be the last time.... I swear."
Zelda took a deep breath. "Okay. Fine. But the next time you ask me to do something, you have to do something for me."
"Okay." John agreed because he understood that Zelda was getting annoyed by him. "I want you and Olivia to talk about me."
"You want us to talk about you?"
"Yea."
"Okay."


They walked back over to Ben and Olivia. Olivia was thinking about something. She was thinking about what Ben had said. "Zelda, can I talk to you?"
Zelda was confused. "Ok-ay."
Zelda and Olivia walked away.
                                                       *****
Zelda and Olivia were in the captain's office. Olivia was sitting behind the desk and Zelda was standing in front of the desk.
Olivia was trying to think of what she was going to say. "I have to admit something. There's something in my heart that's saying that I want to be with John. I really do love him," Olivia finally admitted. She couldn't hid it anymore.
Zelda was shocked by Olivia's confession. She was speechless and didn't know what to say. "You have a heart?" she finally asked. She couldn't believe that Olivia had a heart. "Because I thought that where everybody else's heart was that's where you had a black hole."
Olivia gave Zelda a funny look. She didn't know how to react toward Zelda's crazy question.
"Okay. Now that I got that off my chest. You like John?"
Now that was the question which Olivia waited for Zelda to ask. "Yea."
Zelda smiled and walked over to the door. When she arrived to the door, she opened it. "Then go tell him."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"He probably doesn't like me because I tell him what to do and I'm mean to him." Olivia was filling herself up with dout that it was possible for John to like her.
Zelda bit her lip. She wanted to tell Olivia John's secret, but she wanted John to tell Olivia as well. "You never know. He might actually like you."
"Yea right. How long did it take you to tell Ben that you liked him?"
"This isn't about me and Ben. This is about you and John."
"I can't tell him." Olivia looked at Zelda. "But you can tell him for me."
Zelda didn't want to tell John. She wanted Olivia to. She was going to explode with what John told her and what Olivia just admitted to her. "No. No. I am not going to tell him. Ha. I have an idea. I want you to get all pretty up. I'll be back." Zelda left the room and closed the door behind her.


Zelda walked over to Ben and John. "I want you to go get dressed all nice. Okay," she ordered John.
"Okay." John started to walk off. He was confused.
"Oh yea. Meet me back here when you're done," Zelda called after him.
John disappeared.
"What's that all about?" Ben asked, also confused.
"It's a long story. Hey, can you make a nice dinner?"
"Okay. Why?"
"I'll tell you later."
"Okay." Ben left.
Zelda just stood there. She waited for John to show up. She couldn't believe that she was being a matchmaker. It wasn't her first time playing cupid though.

                            *****
A hour later, John arrived. He was wearing the same pants and white shirt with the tie which he wore to the party on Blaze and he had the sleeves rolled up. His hair was neatly brushed back.
"What took you so long?" Zelda asked.
"You told me to get dress all nice."
"I know, but that...." She noticed his hair. "Did you put gel in your hair?"
"It depends, how's it look?"
"It looks good," Zelda admitted.
"Really?"
"Yea. Now let's go to the dinning room."


They walked into the dinning room, where Ben was waiting for them. "Everything's ready, Zelda," Ben said.
"Good. I'll be right back." Zelda left.
Ben and John looked at each other and shrugged.


Aaron and Drake were on the deck talking, when Zelda hurried past them.
"What's her problem?" Aaron asked.
"I don't know. It's Zelda. There could be a million things wrong with her."
"Good point."

                              *****
When Zelda got to her office, she opened the door and walked in. "Time's up, Olivia," she said.
"Okay."
"We have to go to the dinning room."
"Why?"
"You'll find out. Now let's go." Zelda didn't want to tell Olivia what was going on. She wanted to surprise her and John.


When they arrived to the dinning room, Olivia and John couldn't take their eyes off of each other. John thought that Olivia looked beautiful in the black dress that she was wearing, which was the same dress which she wore to the party on Blaze. Olivia thought that John looked so handsome.
"Captain, you look amazing," John said.
"Thank you. So do you, John," Olivia said.
John pulled a chair from the table. "You can sit here."
Olivia sat down. "Thank you, John."
John and Olivia were unaware about what was going on. They were on their first date without realizing it.
After Olivia sat down, John went to the other side of the table and sat down.
"Okay. Tell each other the truth right now," Zelda
