Space Pirates 2: Ryoko's Warning by Amber Riel (top e book reader txt) 📕

Olivia sat in the chair which was next to Zelda's desk. She watched Max and Donny play around. She was now wearing her everday attire again. Someone knocked on the door, which took away the quiet. "Come in."
Zelda walked in. She closed the door behind her. "I shouldn't have to knock because this is my room."
Olivia rolled her eyes at Zelda's remark. Neither of them were use to sharing a room with someone else. The last time they had shared a room was on Ryoko's ship, the Blue Ram.
The Blue Ram was bigger than the White Rose and the Black Velvet, but it wasn't too much bigger. They had shared the room on that ship but acted like sisters at the time. It was different then. They got along, but now times had changed and they wanted each other dead.
"Well, we know that Will wants all of us pirates dead." Zelda moved over to her desk as she talked. "We also know that he believes in life after death.... But I believe the same thing...."
"Okay. How are we suppose to use that against him, Zelda?"
"That's what I'm trying to think of. Do you like anyone from your crew?" Zelda asked, just jumping strait to the point.
Olivia was surprised at the question. She didn't want to answer that and she didn't understand why Zelda would just ask a question like that. "First of all, I'm not like you so no.... Second of all, what's that have to do with anything?"
"I wanted to know.... And if you had to pick one, who would you pick?"
"If I had to pick one?"
"Yea.... And you have to choose one.... NOW!" Zelda ordered.
"If I had to choose, I'd pick John.... But that's only if I had to pick."
"Okay. That's all I needed to hear.... Now, I have to get dress, then I'm going to tell John."
"What?"
"Huh?"
"You just said that you were going to tell John."
"No.... I said that I was going to get rum.... You know me.... I can't go a minute without rum." Zelda made Olivia feel stupid.
"Oh.... I could of...."
Zelda pretended to laugh. "No.... You're just hearing things." She turned around. "That was close," she told herself.


Ben and John were in the guys' room on the ship. They were sitting down on Ben's bed. "What were you and Zelda talking about?" Ben asked. He was actually glad that two of his three brothers could actually talk to Zelda and not get mad at her.
"We were just getting to know one another.... She's really cool. Don't let go of her."
Ben was glad to hear that from John. "I'm not."
"Good. Are you going to ask her to marry you?"
"I've been trying to, but every time I go to ask her something comes up."
"Oh. She would be cool to have as a sister-in-law. Don't tell my captain I said that. She doesn't want us to get along with Zelda in anyway, shape, or form. Just because they hate each other."
"Zelda's the same way."
It grew quiet for a few minutes.
"I thought that you and Zelda were already married," John admitted.
Ben kind of laughed at the thought. He remembered how Gregory had went with the lie to keep John from killing Zelda. That was the only nice thing that he's done for her. "I wish."
Scott, Drake, Paul, Aaron, and Larry walked into the room. Scott started to set the video game system up. "Do you guys want to play Super Smash Brothers with us?" he asked.
"Yea," Ben replied.
"Actually," John said, standing up, "I'm going to get something to eat."
"Okay," Aaron said.
John left.
"Who's going first?"
"Yea," Drake agreed with the question.
"Can I go first?" Larry asked.
"Yea, sure," Scott replied, handing the controller to Larry.

John was in the hall, walking toward the kitchen. Zelda was going the opposite direction. She locked arms with John and turned around. "Just the guy I wanted to see." She broke out of the arm lock. "Okay. I got info."
"YOU DID?!" John exclaimed. He was very excited. "What she say? Does she like me? What...."
"Dude, take a chill pill or chill out or something." Zelda laid her hands on his shoulders to help him calm down.
"I'm just excited." John tried to calm down but he was just so excited to find out what Zelda had to say.
"I can see that. Now, calm down. Okay?"
"Okay."
"She said that she wouldn't date anyone from her crew...."
"Oh." John lost his excitement and grew disappointed. Zelda could see the disappointment in his eyes.
"But...." She wasn't finished and she watched the disappointment vanish from his eyes. She smiled.
John started to feel up with hope.
"She said did that if she had to choose it would be...."
"Zelda," Shawn said, interrupting her, "I have to talk to you about something." He was kind of ticked off.
"Curly fries." After she said it, she realized that wasn't the right name.
John was confused. "Curly fries?"
Zelda was mad at Shawn. She was trying to tell John somehting and he interrupted. "Can't you see that I'm talking to someone already? Gosh. I'll talk to you later okay."
"Okay," Shawn replied, really angry. He stormed off.
Zelda took a deep breath. "Okay. I'm sorry about that. Where was I?"
"If she had to...."
"Oh yea. She said she would choose you.... But that's only if she had to choose."
John gave Zelda a bear hug. He kind of swung her side to side. He was glad to hear that Olivia could possibly like him. "Thank you, Zelda."
Zelda could bearly breathe because John hugged her to tight. "No problem.... But I don't like to get hugs from my enemies.... Especially bear hugs."
John's eyes grew wide. He broke out of the hug. "Oh. I'm sorry."
"That's okay. Oh yea. Don't tell Olivia."
"Okay."
"Now, that's over. I have to go talk to Curly fries now." Zelda left.
"Yes," John told himself.


Will and Magma were sitting in their thrones. Everyone had already left the castle. "Who were those two girls you were flirting with?" Magma asked.
"Pirates."
"How could you tell?"
Will looked at Magma as if to say, 'You have to be kidding me.' "Have you met Zelda?"
"Yes. I wish she were dead."
"She was one of them."
"Oh. Who was the other one?"
Will couldn't answer that question because he didn't know. "I don't know. You told me that she was the only girl on her ship."
"She is...." Magma was just as confused as her brother. "Do you.... Do you think that she's working with Olivia?"
"Thought they were enemies?"
"They are, but what if they're being force to work together."
"Good point." Will thought about it. It made since. He knew that the other girl couldn't have Ryoko because she was dead. Maybe, Olivia and Zelda were being forced to work together, or maybe they decided to be friends again instead of enemies. He was having a hard time trying to figure out what was going on. He didn't have time to deal with pirates, especially Zelda and Olivia.

Olivia and Zelda were in the captain's office. Olivia was leaning on the wall and Zelda rocked back and forth in a chair, holding a bottle of rum. She was singing.
"What are you singing?" Olivia asked.
"Year 3,000 from the Jonas Brothers. They're really cool.... And really cute. Of course, the cutest, or hottest as I like to say, is Kevin."
"Ok-ay. I'm going to change the subject if you don't mind."
"Okay."
"Have you thought of away to stop Will yet?"
"Yes."
"Okay. What?"
Olivia waited for Zelda to answer, but Zelda didn't respond.
"Zelda, say something.... Oh hey, Ben. What are you doing?"
"Oh. Be...." Zelda started as she looked at the door. "He's not here." She looked at Olivia, disappointed. "Why would you lie to me like that?"
"To see if you were listening." Olivia waited before saying anything else. "Now, what's the plan?"
"Oh yea," Zelda replied. "We fight."
"We fight?" Olivia couldn't understand what Zelda said. "That's it?" It didn't sound much of a plan.
"I know it's not much but that's all we can do."
"There's more bounty hunters then there are of us pirates." Olivia was shocked that Zelda was talking about doing something that was going to cause death to them if they weren't careful. "Plus, add Magma and Will."
"I know, but we have to go to Pluto to get more help. And," Zelda said, looking her boots, disappointed, "I have to give Larry back."
"Why'd you take the kid in the first place?"
"That's none of your business." Zelda looked at her bottle of rum and stood up. "I'm going to get another bottle of rum. This one's almost gone." She left the room.


John stuck his head out from the room and seen Zelda heading toward him. When she seen him, she gave him a funny look. "What are you doing?" she asked. "Making out with the door?"
"No.... Can you do another favor for me, please?"
"No."
"This will be the last time. I swear."
"That's what you said before."
"I mean it this time."
Zelda didn't feel like arguing with him so she gave up. "Okay. Fine. What?"
"Good. From a girl's point of view. I want to see how Olivia will react if she seen me like this." He walked out of the room, without a shirt on, and held it in his hand.
Zelda dropped her mouth. She couldn't believe her eye. The guy who stood in front of her had a good body. She was shocked. "Wow.... I mean wow. If Olivia has any sense she will like what she sees."
John went to give Zelda a hug, but then he remembered that she didn't like to get hugs from her enemies, so he shook her hand instead. "Thanks, Zelda."
Zelda was disappointed because now she wanted him to give her a hug. "But what about the hug?"
John
