crew, Olivia."
"Excellent." Olivia smiled. Her evil plan worked.
Jeremy left.


Jeremy walked over to Austn and Peter to tell them. "I'm quitting Zelda's crew and going to work for Olivia," he told them.
"What? Why?" Austin asked, shocked and confused.
"Because Zelda and Ben are going to get married and Zelda's going to kick me off the crew after they're married."
Austin was really confused. "Where in the universe did you hear that?"
"Olivia and John told me."
Austin understood now. He couldn't believe that Jeremy actually listened to Olivia and John. "They lied," he told Jeremy. "If Zelda and Ben were engaged, they'd tell us. Not only that if they got married, Zelda would still want you to be on the ship. She loves you, not the same way she loves Ben, but she does love you. Oh yea. Zelda lets us do whatever we want. Olivia, on the other hand, don't."
"Yea. That's like teaching a dog to act like a cat," Peter jumped in.
Austin and Jeremy gave Peter a funny look. Austin looked at Jeremy and pointed to Peter. "Don't listen to him."
"I never listen to him," Jeremy said.
"Good. Don't start."
"Okay."
"Now," Austin said, "back to what we were talking about, you understand why you can't betray Zelda?"
"Yea. I'll be back." Jeremy walked back to the captain's office.


"Olivia," Jeremy said, walking into the room.
"What?" Olivia asked.
"I changed my mind."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not going to join your crew. I'm staying on Zelda's crew."
"But she won't have...." Olivia began to lie.
"Cut the crap, Olivia."
Olivia dropped her mouth. She couldn't believe that he said that to her.
"Don't look at me like that. I know that you're lying to me."
"How?"
"I talked to Austin. Unlike you, I can believe him because he's one of the most trust worthy people I know. He's basiclly like a brother to me. That's why I can believe him over you."
Austin stood in the doorway. "Way to go, bro."
Jeremy and Austin left the room.
"Crap," Olivia said. Her plan failed. Zelda Tries Convince Gregory

Zelda and Ben were standing in the middle of the town. Zelda looked at the pink and purple sky, making the transition from day to night. She started walking away. "Come on, Benjamin. Let's go back to the ship."
They started walking over to the ship. Alaska had run over to where they were. She stopped to take a breath. She was behind them. "Zelda," she spoke.
Zelda stopped walking and turned to face the princess. "Yes, Princess Alaska."
"The police are going to help you."
"Yea. I know and you're here telling me this why?"
"Because in order for them to help you, you have to help them."
"And how am I going to help them?"
"Just to come up with a battle plan that's all."
Zelda pretended to laugh. "Yea, princess, they don't listen to pirates, so what makes you think that they'll listen to me?"
"Because Gregory told me to get you. So you guys can go over the plans."
"Okay. Fine. Come on, Ben. We have new plans."
Zelda and Ben followed Alaska to the palace.


When they arrived to the war room, they walked in. Gregory was standing in front of a crowd of cops on a little stage with a white board behind him. The room was dark, except for the light which was on over the stage. "Now, I know that," Gregory started to say as he noticed and Ben, "we hate pirates, and we don't take orders from them, but we have a bigger problem and like it or not we're going to have to listen to a pirate and take orders from her. Zelda, come up here please."
"Okay. I'll be back, Ben."
"Okay."
Zelda walked over to Gregory. She made her way up on the stage.
"That's my girlfriend up there," Ben told a random cop.
"Okay, Zelda," Gregory said, moving back to the board. "Tell us the plan."
"Wow." Zelda looked at all of the cops and started counting them in her head. "There's got to be more cops than bounty hunters here. That's awesome."
"Zelda," Gregory said to get her on track.
She didn't answer.
"Zelda," Gregory said, kind of mad.
She still didn't answer him.
Gregory was growing angry. "ZELDA!"
"What?"
"THE PLAN!"
"Oh right. Can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Do you have any rum?"
Gregory covered his face in his hand, irritated.
"If you don't have any rum, all you have to say is no." Zelda didn't understand why Gregory was so ticked off at her.
"Just get to the plan."
"Okay. I was thinking that we could split up...."
"We?" Gregory interrupted.
Zelda couldn't believe that Gregory asked that. He was suppose to be the smart one. She looked at him. "Well, it's not just you and it's not just me. It's we. We pirates are working with you cops.... Man, that sounded messed up to say." She turned to face the crowd of cops. "Pirates and cops working together just isn't right. Oh well. Anyways, we have to free the other pirates just because it wouldn't be fair. Then everyone on my crew, well, my ship will be heading to Blaze." She pointed to Gregory. "Double D and the other two Eds will follow my ship. Another group of cops and pirates will go circle around to Blaze. And that's my plan."
"What about everyone else?" Daniel asked.
"Yea," Jason agreed. "If Will's going to destroy the universe shouldn't there be others in different places?"
"They'll be here montoring everything," Zelda answered.
Jason and Daniel looked at each other then back to Zelda They didn't think that Zelda's plan was thought through.
"Well, that's the plan," Zelda finished. "Me and Benjamin better get back to the ship."
Zelda walked off the stage and her and Ben left the room. Gregory started to follow them, but Jason stopped him.
"Are we going with that plan, boss?" Jason asked.
"No." Gregory left the room.


Gregory caught up with Zelda and Ben. He was so ticked off at Zelda. "What kind of plan was that, Zelda?" he asked.
"You didn't give me anytime to prepare a better plan."
"Prepare? Prepare? Prepare?" Gregory asked, growing angier and angier each time. "If I gave you time to prepare a better plan than the one you just gave, then you wouldn't have prepared for it. I mean look at you. You're a pirate, but you don't have any of your weapons with you. What if you got jumped?"
Ben started getting angry at Gregory for yelling at Zelda and getting into her face. "DON'T TALK TO MY GIRLFRIEND LIKE THAT!" he shouted.
"You're dating this low life?"
Ben placed his arm around Zelda. "She may be a low life, but that's why I love her." He moved his arm away from her and started talking to where only Gregory could hear him. "And I'm going to ask her for her hand in marriage." He placed his arm back around Zelda and started talking louder to where she could hear him as well. "Come on, baby," he told her. "Let's go back to the ship."
Zelda placed her arm around Ben. "Okay." She was glad that Ben stuck up for her.
They walked away. Gregory stood there, shocked. He couldn't believe the words which had come out of Ben's mouth. "Zelda, as a sister-in-law? No," he said to himself.

Save the Fighting For the Battle

Zelda and Ben arrived back on the ship. Aaron walked over to them. "What took you two so long?" he asked.
"We had to come up with a plan to tell the cops," Zelda replied.
"Oh."
Austin and Peter walked over to them.
"Oh," Zelda sighed, "Peter Pan, drive the ship to Blaze."
"Okay." Peter walked away.
"Captain," Austin started, "I need to talk to you about something."
"Do you need girl advice, Austin Powers?" Zelda asked.
Austin laughed. "No." He stopped laughing. "Olivia is trying to turn everyone against you."
"She what?"
"She had Jeremy, but I knocked some since into him."
"Good. Now, I'm going to go talk to Olivia." Zelda stomped away, ticked off.
"I'll go make sure they don't fight," Ben said. He went after Zelda.
"If Zelda doesn't scare Olivia," Austin stated, "then her boyfriend will."
Austin and Aaron laughed.


Zelda walked into the office, followed by Ben. Olivia was standing in front of her. "Oh hey. You two are back," Olivia said, acting like she didn't do anything.
"Yea," Zelda said, "we just got back."
"Thanks to you. Me and and John are dating."
Zelda faked a smile. "That's good. You know what? I heard something that was really funny today."
"Oh really. What?"
"That someone was trying to turn my crew against me," she said, losing the smile, "Olivia."
Olivia was now the one faking a smile. "I would never do that."
Zelda gave Olivia a dirty look.
"Okay," Olivia admitted, but adding a lie, "I would do that, but not to you."
Zelda was still giving Olivia a dirty look.
"Okay," Olivia admitted. "Fine. I was trying to turn your crew against you. But it didn't work because your crew are idiots. None of them want to betray you, not even the idiot on your crew."
"Look," Zelda said, standing up for her crew, "none of the guys on my crew are idiots, well, except for Peter Pan, but if anyone should get anyone's crew against that person it should be me trying to get your crew against you. You don't let them do anything." She pointed to John. "I'm still shocked that he likes you." She thought about something. "But then again you two are like Beauty and the Beast. He's beauty and you're the beast."
Olivia was mad. How could Zelda say that to her? That was so mean. "I can't believe you just said that."
Ben realized that it was going to turn into a fight. He moved in front of Zelda. "She didn't mean it. Right, Zelda."
"Actually, I did."
"I have an idea. When we're fighting those bounty hunters," he told them, "I want the two of you to act like you're fighting each other. Okay?"
"Okay," Olivia and Zelda agreed.
