following her.
"But, captain," John said, turning around, confused, "you wanted me...."
"I know, but I changed my mind."
"But, captain."
"John, I know what I told the princess, but I lied just so we could get out of there alive. We're pirates, and everyone knows that we don't mean what me say.... So.... I lied just to be alive."
John was really confused. "Then what do you want me to tell everyone?"
"That we don't have to worry about those bounty hunters."
"Oh."
"There are more though," Blake jumped in.
"No, because all of the bounty hunters work for the Evil Princess Magma, and I just tricked the princess into letting us live...." Olivia thought about a plan. "But I can capture Zelda and her crew, never mind, John. I will capture Zelda's crew, and bring them to the fire princess, and I will have power to rule the universe." Olivia started laughing.
"That is a good plan, captain," John agreed.
Olivia was petting Donny. "I know it is. Now, where's Shawn with Donny's food?"
Shawn walked over to them, holding a plate with raw meat. "I'm right here, Captain Olivia." He set the plate down. "Donny, come here boy."
Donny walked over to the plate as Shawn stood up, and started eating. Rivalies

Olivia was in her office, which didn't look any different from Zelda's, except where Zelda's bookshelf, was a little dresser with a book on it and a lamp next to. She was trying to think of a planet that Zelda would go to. Donny was laying next to her feet. "I can't think of a planet that Zelda would land on," she said to Donny. He kind of purred. "Where would she go?"
Someone knocked on the door.
"COME IN!"
John opened the door and walked in. "Did you figure out a place for us to land on?" he asked.
"No."
"Well, I don't know about you, but I think that we should land on the Planet Connie."
Olivia thought about that and remembered that if Zelda was out of rum then she'd go to Connie to get more. She knew that there was a possiblity that Zelda had lots of rum and she didn't need to go there, but she also knew that there was a chance that Zelda was going to need to go to Connie to get more rum. "That's not a bad idea, John."
"It's not?"
"No, it's not. That's the planet that Zelda will land on. That's where she gets her rum. It's a brilliant idea. John, we're going to the Planet Connie."
"Okay, captain."
                                                      *******
Zelda, Ben, Jeremy, and another guy were hanging out on the deck of the White Rose, drinking rum. "So, where are we going, captain?" Ben asked, not quite drunk yet.
"Well, first we have to go to the Planet Connie, so we could get more rum," Zelda said, almost completely drunk.
"Right."
"So, captain," Jeremy asked, just as drunk as Zelda, "will you kiss one of us and if so who?"
"Not in your dreams. That goes for all of you."
"What about me?" he asked.
"Boy, did you hear what I just said? I wouldn't even kiss you if I was drunk enough."
"Who dares me to drink the rest of this?" the other guy asked, really drunk.
"Don't even think about it, Austin Powers. We need it until we go to Connie."
"I always thought that I looked like Mike Meyers," Austin said, joking around. Austin had dark brown hair, which wasn't long and it kind of would stand straight up on his head. He was cute and was about nineteen or eighteen, but Zelda loved him like an older brother. He was one of her drinking buddies. Zelda did have to make sure that he didn't drink all of the rum.
"You wish," Ben laughed.
"Yea," Jeremy agreed. "Well, I'm going to hang out with.... Um.... R.... A.... Y."
"Ray?"
"Yea. I think."
"Okay, Germany."
Jeremy walked away.
"I'm going with him," Austin said. He followed Jeremy, trying to walk straight, after he handed the bottle of rum to Ben.
"You know, Benjamin," Zelda started to take a sip of her rum as she spoke, "I always liked you."
Ben was surprised to hear that from Zelda. "Captain?"
"I liked you even before you became my first mate."
Ben was shocked. "Captain?"
"I love you."
"Um.... Captain. Are you feeling alright?"
"I feel fine. Now, I think I'm going to go ahead and go to sleep." Zelda's eyes closed and she fell backwards. Ben caught her before she hit the ground.


The next day, Olivia and her crew had just landed on Connie and got off the ship. "Now," Olivia started, "we're going to split up. John and me are group one, Aaron and Ryan are group two, Drake and Blake are group three, and David and Shawn are group four. Now, remember we're looking for Zelda and her crew."
"Yes, captain," Blake and Drake, the twins of the ship, agreed. They both looked a like, but Blake was a little taller than Drake. Drake was kind of chubby, while Blake was skinny.
"Captain Olivia?" an other guy asked. He had blonde, short hair and was cute as well and he was about eighteen or nineteen.
"What?" Olivia asked, mad.
The guy pointed to a girl who was wearing a captain's hat and was with a bunch of guys. "Is that Captain Zelda and her crew holding rum?" he asked.
Olivia looked at the girl. "Yes, it is, David. Good job. Now, forget the plan everyone and come with me."
They walked over to Zelda and her crew. Zelda wasn't paying any attention, she was too busy talking to her crew. "Now, let's go bring the rum to the ship, then we'll...."
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Captain Zelda," Olivia interrupted.
Zelda was holding an opened bottle of rum. She turned to face Olivia. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Captain Olivia."
"Just as I thought.... You ran out of rum."
John and Ben recognized each other. "Ben?" John asked.
"John?"
"You know him?" Zelda asked Ben.
"Yea. Remember yesterday when I told you that I had two brothers?"
"Yea."
"Well, this is my other brother, John."
"Oh." Zelda turned her attention to John. "Well, hello, John Jacob Jingle Honor Smit."
Peter started singing:

"John Jacob Jingle Honor Smit
His name is my name too
Whenever I...."

Zelda wanted Peter to shut up. "Benjamin, go shut Peter Pan up."
"Yes, captain." Ben went and punched Peter to shut him up.
"OW!" Peter exclaimed. "What did you punch me for?"
"To shut you up."
"Why?" he asked, confused.
"Because Captain Zelda told me to."
"So, you're here for rum?" Olivia asked Zelda.
"Yea. Why do you care?"
"Because you...." Shawn started.
"Hey, I wasn't talking to you, Curly Fries."
"Always giving nicknames.... Huh, Zelda?" Olivia asked.
"And what would be a good nickname for you, Olivia? Ooo.... I got it.... How 'bout Olive Oyl?"
That made Olivia mad. "What did you just call me?"
Zelda smiled. "Olive Oyl."
"Captain," John said to Olivia, "now would be a good time to capture Zelda and her crew."
"It is a good time," Olivia said, growing angry, "but I want to kill Zelda. Her shipmates can be alive, but I'm going to kill her."
"Yes, captain."
Olivia turned to Zelda and her crew. "I made a deal with the fire princess...."
"Oh.... You mean Lava-Girl," Zelda said, turning it into a joke. "Do you know if she still hangs out with Shark-Boy?"
Olivia was ready to set Zelda on fire with the fire power. "Do you always mock people of a higher status than you?" she asked.
"Actually, I mock everyone really. It's fun." Zelda had the ice power ready. "I'm working for the Ice Princesses Alaska and Saphire, and ice puts out fire. Okay, Olive Oyl."
"Fine," Olivia said, really mad. Now, niether of them knew that ice and fire actually canceled each other out. Fire would melt ice and water put out fire, depending on how big the fire was, and how much water was needed to put out the fire.
"But we are space pirates, so why don't we sword fight instead."
Olivia smiled. "Sure." She pulled her sword out. It was kind of a light saver like in Stars Wars, but it looked more like a sword. "Sounds goog to me, Captain Zelda."
Zelda went to grab her sword. "I thought it would, Captain Olivia." She realized that she didn't have a sword. "Uh-oh."
"Well, it looks like you don't have your sword, Zelda. Oh, well. It'll be easier for me to kill you then."
"Oh, crap."
"Try to find your way out of this, Zelda."
Zelda tried to look for a way out.
"Here, take mine," Ben said to her, offering her his sword.
"No. I have a plan." She turned to Olivia. "Why don't we try and work this out? I mean when people fight there can be a chance of someone dying.... I mean do you really want to take that chance...."
Olivia went to attack Zelda.
"OH MY GOSH! IS THAT DOG EATING THAT CAT?!" Zelda exclaimed.
Olivia stopped, confused. "What?" She turned around. "I don't see...."
"Let's leave," Zelda whispered to her crew. Zelda and her crew left as fast as they could.
"There's nothing...." Olivia said as she turned back to face Zelda. "SHE TRICKED US! That dumb pirate."
"Actually, we're the dumb pirates.... We believed her," Drake said.
Olivia turned to face Drake, mad. "Drake, you better shut up. I'll kill you," she threatened. "I won't be mocked by that half, dimwit pirate."
Shawn walked over to Olivia, John, and Drake. "What are we going to do, captain?" he asked.
"Shawn," Olivia said, smiling, "I want you to sneak onto Zelda's ship."
"Yes, captain." Shawn left.
"What's the plan?" John asked.
"He's going to tell me what Zelda's planning on doing."
"Oh. So, he's going to be your spy?"
Olivia smiled. "Yes."

Spy on the White Rose

Zelda and her crew still walking around the planet. "Peter Pan, Austin Powers, Ray.... Um.... Ray.... Um.... OOO! Riley, Paula Abdul, and Germany, I want you all to go home.... I mean to the ship," Zelda ordered.
"Yes, captain. But my
