for a guy on her ship.... Oh yea. And you're romantic and sweet.... Unlike Jeremy, who's kind of a jerk and doesn't know what romance is at all."
"Yea. And you act like yourself around her, while Jeremy acts like some one else."
"But that don't mean anything. She probably doesn't like any of us on this ship.... She probably likes some other guy on a different ship or planet."
Scott started laughing. "Ben, answer this question.... Do you really believe that she likes someone else?" he asked.
"Yea."
Ben's answer made Scott crack up. "Dude," he said, "you don't know, but I've watched her check you out a few times...."
"Yea, right." Ben kind of believed Scott, but he kind of didn't.
"No, I'm telling the truth, man," Scott said as he stopped laughing.
Paul noticed that someone was walking over to them. "Captain at 12 O'clock," he said.
Zelda walked over to them.
"Oh, captain. We were just talking about you." Ben smacked Scott upside his head to get him to shut up. "OW!"
Zelda raised an eyebrow. "What were you guys saying about me?"
Scott and Ben looked at each other, then to Paul, then to Zelda. "We were just talking about...." Ben came up with a lie. "How great of a captain we think you are. Right, guys?"
"Yea," Scott and Paul agreed.
"Oh."
"Can you give me a hug?" Scott asked Zelda, changing the subject.
Zelda gave him a funny look. "Why?"
"Because you're like a sister to me."
"Ok-ay. I guess."
Scott hugged Zeda. "I know who you like," he whispered to her.
"Uh-oh," she said to herself, her eyes grew wide. "No you don't," she said to Scott.
"You like...." he started just talking to her. "MAX!" he said to where Ben and Paul could hear.
"That was close," she said to herself. She broke out of the hug. "Yea. Who doesn't like Max?" she asked them.
"Do you want to play a card game with me and Paul, captain?"
"Okay. What game?"
"Go fish."
"Okay."
Ben stood up. "Here," he offered the chair to Zelda, "captain, you can take my chair."
Zelda sat down. "Thanks, Ben."
Ben smiled at Zelda.


Aaron, David, and Shawn were talking in the kitchen on the Black Velvet. The kitchens on both ships were the fourth biggest rooms and were located under the decks of each ship. The ovens were located on the right walls, the sinks were next to the ovens, the refrigerators were next to the sinks, of course, there were cabnets, and in the middle of the kitchens were the cutting tables.
Aaron was looking at a peice of paper. "Shawn, did you leave that tracking device that I gave you on Zelda's ship?" he asked.
"Yea. You don't need it, do you?"
"No. I wanted you to leave it on the ship anyways."
"Why?" David asked, confused.
Aaron looked at David. "Because that way, when Zelda and her crew land on a planet, we'll know where to find her and we can tell the captain.... It's the perfect plan."
"And it'll work, too."
"I know."
"What if Zelda finds the tracking device?"
Shawn looked at Aaron. "That's right. What will happen if she finds it?"
Aaron's eyes grew wide. "I didn't think of that," he said, worried. "Well, as long as she doesn't know about it then we'll be fine." He turned to Shawn. "You didn't tell her about the device, did you, Shawn?"
Shawn gave Aaron a funny look. "Are you crazy? I'll never say anything about that tracking device to Zelda. Heck, she calls me Curly Fries and I don't like that at all. Now, if the captain called me Curly Fries I wouldn't mind, but Zelda's not my captain."
"I wouldn't want anyone to call me---"
"What are the three of you doing?" Olivia asked, walking in the room, mad, followed by John and Donny. "You guys are suppose to be up on the deck working, not down here talking."
"Yes, captain. We know, but we were...." Shawn said, scared.
"I don't want to hear it. NOW GO!"
"Yes, captain," Aaron replied.
Shawn, Aaron, and David left the room. Zelda's Secret

Later that night, still on the Black Velvet, Olivia was in her office with Donny. she complaining to herself. "Why are guys such idiots? They don't know what I want. I tell them to do something it never gets done. I have to do it myself. Why can't they do what I say? I mean I am the captain, and when I tell them to do something they should do it. No, I have to tell them over and over again 'til they actually do it. That just makes me so mad. I hate it when they do that to me."
Someone knocked on the door.
"COME IN!"
John walked in. "Captain," he said in a soft voice.
"What?"
"Well, me and Shawn were wondering.... Um.... Um...."
"Yes."
"Why is Zelda an idiot?"
Olivia gave him a funny look. "Who cares why Zelda's an idiot?"
"We were just wondering.... Is there anything that you need me to do?"
"No. You can go to sleep if you want."
"Okay." Before John left the room, he looked at Donny and turned to face Olivia, kind of pointing the panther. "He looks tired."
Olivia looked at Donny. She had to agree with John. "He's having trouble going to sleep. I tried what I can to help, but he won't go to sleep. I hope he's not dying. Without him we won't have any energy for the ship." She hid a tear. "I can't let him die. He's my baby."
"He doesn't look like he's going to die, he just looks tired." John turned to face the door. "I'm going to bed. Good night, captain." Then he left the room, closing the door behind him.
"I hope he's right," Olivia said to herself.
Now, none of them knew that Donny was dying. They just didn't notice that after he ate, he would thow up and the only thing that was odvious was that he was losing weight everyday.


Zelda was on the bed sleeping in her office of the White Rose with Max at the bottom of her feet. Peter walked in quietly to get something.

In Zelda's dream, Ben was talking to her. He got down on one knee, and held out a diamond ring. "Captain Zelda Samara Griffen, will you marry me?" he asked.

"Yes, Benjamine," she said, blushing and talking in her sleep. "I'll marry you. I'll be your wife."
Peter turned to face Zelda, shocked at what she had said.

Back in Zelda's dream, Olivia showed up out of no where. Zelda turned her head. "Crap," she said to herself. She turned her head back toward Olivia and she was mad. "And what are you doing here, Olivia?" she asked.
Olivia pulled out her sword and pointed it toward Zelda. "I'm going to kill you."
Zelda looked at the sword, afraid. "Oh, crap."
Ben took out his sword. "Don't worry, captain." He jumped infront of Zelda. "I'll protect you."
Ben and Olivia started sword fighting.
Zelda worried about Ben.

"NO, BENJAMIN! DON'T FIGHT HER! BENJAMIN.... BENJAMIN NO...."
"CAPTAIN! CAPTAIN! CAPTAIN ZELDA, WAKE UP!" Peter said, waking her up.
Zelda woke up, shaking.
"It's okay, captain," Peter said, trying to calm her down. "You just had a bad dream."
Zelda took a breath. "Oh, good."
"Yea." Peter sat next to her. "Hey, did you know that you talk in your sleep?"
Zelda laughed. "I don't talk in my sleep...."
"Actaully, captain, you do."
"Oh yea. Well, what did I say?"
"Well, you said, 'Oh crap,' because Olivia was going to kill you.... And you like Ben apparently," he said.
Zelda's face expression changed. "What makes you say that I like Ben?"
"Well, I guess that in your dream before Olivia showed up, Ben asked you to marry him, and you said, 'Yes, Benjamin. I'll marry you. I'll be your wife.'"
"I probably said something else," Zelda said, trying to think of a lie.
Peter stood up and walked around the room. "I'm pretty sure that I heard you say, 'Yes, Benjamin. I'll marry you. I'll be your wife." He waited for her to respond, but she didn't say anything. "Oh yea. While you were saying it, you had a smile on your face as if he were really asking you to marry him. Why don't you just admit that you like him? You know that he already likes you. So, why don't you tell him how you feel? You never know he might actually ask you to marry him some day." He had a good point, but Zelda didn't want to admit that she liked Ben.
"I don't like him," she lied.
"Captain," he asked, "what if Scott asked you to marry him?"
"No."
"Paul?"
"No, he's too young."
"Ray."
"No."
"Austin?"
"No."
"Me?"
"You're too much like a brother, so no."
"Good. I would never ask you, anyways. Jeremy?"
"HECK NO!"
"Ben."
"No," Zelda said, blushing.
"You're blushing.... You do like Ben."
"No, I don't."
"Yes, you do. I won't tell him or anyone else if you tell me the truth."
"You promise that you won't tell him or anyone else?"
"Yes. I promise."
"Okay. I.... I...." She froze up for a second. "I do like Ben. If you tell anyone, especially Ben, then I'll have you and your fairy, Tinker Bell, going back to Neverland...."
"Her name is Jasmine."
"Okay. Then I'll have you and Jasmine going back to Neverland. Got it, Peter Pan?"
"Got it, captain."
"Good." Zelda smiled. "So, Peter, is there some girl from another planet or something that you like?"
Now, Peter was blushing. "Yea.
"Who?"
"Captain Olivia."
Zelda's smile turned into a frown. "I don't care if you like a girl from another planet...." She was mad. "I don't care if you like someone from another ship.... I don't care if you like one of the ice princesses.... But, OLIVIA! She's our enemy and I forbid you to like her at all.... Like I said before you're like a brother to me and I don't want to watch you get hurt." She stood up and walked over to him. "You see what I'm saying, Peter Pan." She gave him a hug. "I don't want to see you get hurt or killed."
"Yes, captain."
They broke out of the hug. Scott rushed into the room, freaking out. "Ben and Jeremy are on the deck fighting, captain."
"Thanks for telling me, Scotty."
