bow tie around his collar, while John wore a formal black tie. They each wore white dress shirts under the black jackets.
Ben looked over at the bounty hunter who was checking peoples' names and telling them if they could go in or not. He realized that the man was Russel. "Uh-oh."
"What?" Zelda asked, not paying attention.
John looked at the bounty hunter. "You know that bounty hunter who was walking with Will and Leo?" he asked. "The one who we ran into today?"
"Yea.... What about him?"
"Look," Ben told her.
Zelda looked over at the bounty hunter. Her eyes grew wide and her mouth dropped.
"See."
"We have a problem."
"We?" John asked. "We have a problem? You got something to cover your face, but we don't."
Zelda thought about what John had said. "True.... Well, then keep ya'lls heads down."
Ben and John gave Zelda a funny look. They got up to Russel. Luckily for them, he wasn't paying attention. He was too busy looking at the list of names. "Names please?" he asked.
"Jack Claw," Ben replied, "and these three are with me."
Russel looked for the name. "Claw.... Claw.... Claw...." He kind of glanced at Ben, then went back to looking at the list. "You're not on this list, sir."
"What about my friend, Benjamin Frankin?" Ben asked, slipping a hundred dollar bill to Russel.
"Not enough for a big palsma screen that I want," Russel replied, not satisified with the hundred dollar bill.
Russel looked at the money for a minute. He moved out of the way. "You may go," he said.
The four pirates walked inside.


Zelda seen cups of water and realized that she was really thristy. "Hey, Benjamin.... Can I have some money to get a drink?" she asked.
Ben started digging into his pockets. "Yea.... I just remembered that I gave the bounty hunter all of my money."
"That's okay. I'm not thristy anymore."
Olivia watched as Will walked pass them. "Zelda, did you just see that really hot guy just walk pass us?" she asked.
"That super hot guy?"
"Yea."
"Yep.... That's Prince Will."
"That's Will?"
Zelda smiled and nodded.
"Why does everyone that's hot have to be evil?"
"I know," John agreed, not meaning it the way it came out.
Zelda and Olivia gave him a funny look.
John realized why they were looking at him funny and was really embarrassed. "I'm going to go hang out with Ben," he said. John walked away.
Zelda looked at Olivia. "You're shipmate has issues."
"Ok-ay."
Zelda and Olivia walked over to Will. He was sitting down on a sofa which had been added to the throne room.
"OH MY GOSH!" Zelda exclaimed, being flirty. "You're Prince Will. I'm Donna and this is my sister...."
"Emily," Olivia said, calmly and also being flirty.
"It's nice to meet the both of you." Will moved to the middle of the couch. He patted both sides. "Come here and sit down."
"OKAY!" Zelda and Olivia exclaimed.
Olivia sat on the right side of Will, and Zelda sat on the left side of him.
"So what's up with this party?" Olivia asked. "I mean why are you throwing it?"
"Well, see I...."
Zelda started rubbing his arm. "You are so strong." She could feel his muscles through the long sleeve of his coat.
Olivia also started to rub his other arm. "Oh yea," she agreed with Zelda. "How did you get your arms so buff? Do you lift weights?"
John seen them and started to grow jealous of Will. He wanted Olivia to flirt with him, not Will. He didn't like Zelda's plan because of it.
"Yes," Will replied, smiling. "I do lift weights.... Would the two of you beautiful women like to see my muscles?"
"YES!" Zelda and Olivia exclaimed.
He pulled up his sleeves and flexed his muscles. John was really jealous by that time.
"Hey, man," Ben said to him. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," John said, trying not to show his anger. "Just fine."
"Ok-ay."


Ryan and Peter were outside acting like themselves. "Hey, Ryan.... What do you get when you cross a bounty hunter with a chicken?" Peter asked.
"I don't know.... What?"
"A chicken hunter."
Ryan started laughing. "That was funny." He stopped laughing. "I don't get it."
Russel seen them. "What's going on?" he asked himself. He walked over to the two pirates. "What are you two doing?" he asked them.
"Being pirates," Ryan answered.
"What are you doing?" Peter asked.
"Being a bounty hunter," Russel replied.
"You're too old to be a bounty hunter," Ryan said.
"Really?"
"Yea," Petere answered. "The oldest one I met was Leo."
"You met my son."
"You're Leo's dad?" Ryan asked.
"Yes I am."
"Uh-oh." Peter realized that him and Ryan were in big trouble.
"You better be scared." Russel turned around and started walking away. He decided to have a little fun with the two pirates so he stopped. "BOO!" he said as he turned around.
Peter and Ryan were really scared. They started running away.


Zelda and Olivia were still flirting with Will and getting information from him.
"So you're planning to on destroying the universe?" Olivia asked.
"Yea."
"Why?" Zelda asked. "Why will you do that to us?"
"Because I want to get rid of those pirates."
"Pirates can be wild.... But why the whole universe?" Olivia asked.
"Well, there's a whole other life after this one."
"That's nice to know."
Russel showed up with Keaton and Romano. "Sir."
"Russel, can't you see I'm busy?"
Russel noticed the two girls. "Sorry, sir.... But two pirates are here."
"Then go after them."
"We can't find them," Russel replied, in shame.
"I'm sorry, ladies.... But I have to go." Will stood up and left with the three bounty hunters.
Ben and John waited till they were gone. They walked over to the girls, when Will and the bounty hunters were out of sight.
"Let's go now," Ben said.
They left.


When Will and the bounty hunters arrived back, they realized that the girls were gone. Will noticed that Zelda had left her fan and he picked it up. "They're gone," he said.
"Looks like you're girlfriends didn't like the party," Keaton said.
"Be quiet, Keaton," Romano said.
Will turned to face them. He was still holding the fan. "I would never go out with any of them.... Especially because I think that they were pirates." He was angry with the realization.
"Are you saying that they were distracting you?" Russel asked.
"No.... They were getting information from me." He took the fan and snapped in in half. John Confesses His Love for Olivia to Zelda

Zelda, Olivia, Ben, and John were walking in the village on their way back to the ship. The moon and the stars were out. The street lights were on and the streets were empty because the whole village was at the castle for Will's party.
Ben and John walked a few feet ahead of Zelda and Olivia.
"Me and Will would make a perfect couple," Olivia stated. She couldn't stop thinking about the evil fire prince.
"You and Will?" Zelda asked. She wasn't thinking Ben right then. "I don't think so. I saw him first and so that makes us perfect for each other."
"Yea, but you're not evil. That's what makes him and me a match made in heave."
"More like heck...." Zelda just remembered that she was dating Ben and she decided that she wouldn't trade him for anyone. "You win.... You can have him."
"Wait a minute.... You, Zelda, are actually giving up?" Olivia was shocked and confused. Zelda doesn't usually just give up like that.
"Yep."
"Why?"
"Because I already have a boyfriend."
Now, that made since to Olivia. She didn't blame Zelda for not thinking about that before only because Zelda was a moron. "Let me guess, is he someone from your crew?"
"Yep."
"Should of known." That didn't shock Olivia.
Zelda walked over to Ben. "At least, I," she said, locking arms with him, "have a guy."


When they arrived on the ship, Olivia went to the captain's office to change.
"Zelda," Ben said, his arm was still locked with Zelda's, "I'm going to get something to eat.... Want anything?"
"No thank you."
Ben smiled. "Okay." He gave her a kiss on the cheek. They unlocked their arms and Ben walked away.
"So you and my brother are dating?" John asked.
"Yep." Zelda smiled as she watched Ben vanish under the deck.
"Are you two really married?"
Zelda couldn't help but laugh at John's question. "No," she said, holding up her left hand to show John that she didn't have a ring. "That was just a lie." She started blushing. "But we might get married."
"Oh.... Can I talk to you about something?"
"Why don't you talk to Olivia? She's your captain, not me." Zelda didn't understand why he would want to talk to her.
"I know.... But it's about her."
"YOU WANT HER DEAD TOO!" Zelda exclaimed, excitement grew in her voice.
"NO!" John exclaimed.
"Oh," Zelda sighed, loosing the excitement. "Then what were you going to say?" She was actually disappointed.
John made sure that no one else was around before he said anything. "I like her."
"What?" Zelda asked, shocked. She couldn't believe what she just heard.
"I like her. I never felt this way about anyone before."
Zelda was still shocked. She didn't know what to say. "You like her.... She bosses you around, and you like her."
"I like her telling me what to do. I'll do anything for her."
"So you're telling me that you like to be the chick in the relationship?"
"What?" John was surprised by Zelda's question.
"That's what I heard."
"Never mind about that.... I want you to find out if she likes me."
Zelda kind of laughed. She couldn't believe what he was asking her to do. "Yea. That's not going to work.... You want to know why that's not going to work.... Because unlike me, she doesn't fall for guys, who work for her."
"Please, Zelda?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please? This will be the last time.... I promise."
"Okay.... Fine.... I will." Zelda couldn't believe that she just gave into that.
"Thanks, Zelda."
"Whatever." She was mad at herself.
John walked away, while Ben walked over to Zelda. He was holding a half eaten ham and cheese sandwich.
"What was that all about?" Ben asked.
"I don't think he wants anyone to know."
Ben was confused. "Anyone to know what?"
"It's a long story.... I have to go talk to Olivia." Zelda walked away.
Ben just stood there, confused.
