Space Pirates 3: Russel's Revenge by Amber Riel (librera reader txt) 📖

Zelda and Olivia were in the captain's office of the White Rose. Zelda had some rum bottles laying on the floor, but it wasn't as messy as before. Olivia had cleaned most of the mess. Zelda was sitting behind her desk. She was looking through a magazine filled with wedding gowns.
Olivia was sitting on the bed. She was thinking about how things have changed with in a few months. At first, her and Zelda were enemies and wanted each other dead, but now, they were starting to get along and acted like sisters. John was her boyfriend now, and she had Zelda to thank for that.
"Well," Zelda spoke up, laying the magazine on the desk, "We're heading to Brass, so, that way you and your crew could get on your ship."
"Good." Olivia was glad that she was going to get her ship back. "There'll be more room that way. Not that I hadn't enjoyed being on your ship. It's just I miss mine."
"I understand." Zelda smiled. "Of course, you guys aren't going any where before mine and Ben's wedding day." She thought about what she was going to say. She didn't know if she should ask. "I would want you to be my maid of honnor, seeing that besides my, you're the only other woman on this ship." She had to pause. "I know that it's probably not something that you'd want to do for me, seeing that we're still kind of hating each other.... But would that be okay with you?"
Olivia smiled at Zelda's offer. "Yea.... I don't mind."
"Good. So, has John asked you to marry him yet?" Zelda asked, being nosy. She got to where she had to know everything that was going on, from who had the last bottle of rum to where Olivia and John were at in their relationship.
"We're taking it slow," Olivia admitted, "so, no."
"Oh."
Ryoko appeared out of no where. "I'm glad to see you two are getting along again."
"Ryoko?" Zelda said. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm just checking up on everything. This is the last time, any of you will see me."
"Why?" Olivia asked. "Do you have a ghost thing to do?"
Ryoko kind of laughed. "No. I did my job. I warned you guys about what was going to happen. It took me a while to convince you two to work together, and you did. You two worked as a team to save the universe from Will. While doing this, you two got your friendship back, and that makes me proud. Now, I have to go, and this time, I won't come back."
"Bye, Ryoko," Zelda said.
"Bye," Olivia said.
"Bye, Zelda and Olivia. Oh yea. Zelda, I hope that you and Ben have a long, good life together."
"Thanks."
Ryoko disappeared.
"Well, that's the last time that we'll see her again," Olivia told Zelda.
"Yea," Zelda agreed.

Will was in a jail cell. He was looking up at the TV which sat on a shelf that hung off of a wall. He was watching the news, while he though about everything which he done and felt guilty. For the first time in his life, he felt horrible for all of the trouble he had caused. "Well," he said to himself, looking away from the TV, "I'm back here again. The last time wasn't much different. They still treat me like a prisoner, than they do a prince." He paused. "I deserve it though." He sat down on the bed. He covered his face with his left hand. "Magma hasn't tried to bail me out, just like last time. I understand. I was a mean brother to her."
Gregory walked down the hall. He took out a police stick and hit Russel, Leo, Keaton, Romano, and Will's cells so he could get their attention. "The five of you get to get out early for good behavior," he told them. "Now, if any of you try to destroy the universe again," he warned, "you'll be back here, and you'll be locked up for the rest of you're lives, until you die, just like the pirates."
"What if we kill cows for food? What happens then?" Romano asked.
Gregory looked at Romano, funny. "Is he okay?" he asked Leo as he pointed to Romano.
"Let's just say that out of him and Keaton, he's the smarter one," Leo answered.
"So, can we kill the ducks, or will we get in trouble?" Keaton asked. He had proven Leo's point.
Gregory could see what Leo meant. "First of all, he said cows, and as long as you pay for them, you'll be okay. Does everyone get that?"
"Yes," the bounty hunters and Will agreed.
Gregory took a key and unlocked the cell doors. He opened them. "You're free to go."


Russel, Will, and Leo walked outside of the jail house, followed by Keaton and Romano.
"Now, we can destroy the universe, Prince Will," Russel said.
"Ye-a. I don't want to any more." Will had decided that he didn't want to go back to jail for a third time. He had something else in mind.
"What?" Russel couldn't believe what he just heard from Will.
"I changed my mind. After being locked in a bird cage twice, I don't want to go back." Will walked away.
"What are we going to do now, dad?"
"Tell Magma."
Leo and Russel walked in another direction. They left Keaton and Romano behind. "Where are they going?" Romano asked.
"I don't know, but we better go before they leave us."
"Good point."
They hurried over to Leo and Russel.
"WAIT FOR US, BOSS, AND BOSS'S DAD!" Keaton called after them.

The White Rose was tied to a dock on the Planet Brass. Zelda, Ben, John, and Olivia were on the deck of the ship. "When's ya'lls rehersal dinner, or whatever you call it?" John asked Ben and Zelda.
"What?" Ben asked, confused.
"It's to help us get ready for the wedding," Zelda told Ben.
"Oh."
"And to answer your question, John, the rehersal will be the day before the wedding. Of course," Zelda stated.
Zelda and Ben were going to be getting married in two days. They had got almost everything that they needed for the wedding. They did need to get a pastor.
"Right."
"What are you two going to do after the rehersal?" Olivia asked.
"What do you mean?" Ben asked, really confused.
Zelda couldn't help but laugh. She thought that Ben was cute when he was confused. "I know what she means. The groom isn't allowed to see the bride before the wedding. It's bad luck."
"It's bad luck to have a woman on a ship," John added, also confused, "but we have two women on the ship, and nothing bad has happened to us."
"That's different," Olivia simply said.
"How?" Ben asked.
"It's a girl thing. You two guys won't understand."
"Okay," John and Ben agreed, still confused.
"What we could do is that after the rehersal the guys can stay here, and we can go to the Black Velvet, and stay there until the wedding, or the guys can go and stay on the Black Velvet, and we can stay here. How 'bout that?" Zelda asked.
Olivia thought about it and agreed. "That sounds good. What do you guys think?"
"That's good," Ben agreed.
"Yea. But can I hang out with you two. So that way I can get to know my sister-in-law to be, and if something bad happens," John said, placing his arm around Olivia, "I'll be there to protect the both of you."
"Well," Olivia started to say, "you can, but we can protect ourselves."
"Yea. After all, we are pirate girls," Zelda agreed.
They laughed. Scott, Paul, Aaron, and David had walked onto the ship and over to them. Aaron was holding a movie.
"Finally," Zelda said. "What took so long?"
Scott had to take a breath before saying anything. He was tired from all of the walking he had done. "You had us running around all day," he finally said.
"Yea," Aaron agreed. "After we did one thing, we had to do something else."
"Did you guys find the Black Velvet?" Olivia asked.
"Yes," Paul answered.
"Did you get the Lion King?" Zelda asked. That was her favorite Disney movie even before she became a pirate.
"We're still confused to as why you wanted us to get it," Aaron said, smiling, "but yes we got it." He handed the movie to Zelda.
Zelda took the movie and smiled as she looked at the case of the movie. "Good." She looked up at the guys. "Did you guys talk to a pastor?"
Scott laughed. "We're pirates, why do we need to talk to a pastor?" he asked. He didn't understand why they needed to talk to a pastor, when the pastor would just tell them that they'd need to change the way they live.
Zelda wasn't laughing. "So, that way we have someone, who can marry me and Ben."
Scott stopped laughing and realized that they were in trouble. "Oh yea." He decided to lie. "We all ready got the pastor. Right, guys?"
"Yea right," Paul, Aaron, and David agreed, also lying.
"You know what, we told Peter that we were going to meet him at the Black Velvet and get some drinks. We better go."
"Yea," David agreed.
"Okay."
Scott, David, Aaron, and Paul hurried off of the ship.
"They forgot," Ben pointed out.
"Yep," Zelda agreed. "But it's funny, because now they have to leave again."
"Yep. Watch them forget again," Olivia said.
"Now, that won't be funny," Ben stated.
"I can't believe that I'll have a sister-in-law in a couple of days," John said, changing the subject.
"That means I'll have three brother-in-laws. Two that like me, and one that hates me. Oh well." Zelda didn't understand why Gregory hated her.
"I'm going to go feed Donny and Max," Olivia said, randomly.
"I'll go with you," John said.
John and Olivia left. Ben hugged Zelda and kissed her forehead.
Zelda leaned against his chest. "You're so warm." She wasn't freezing, but she could feel a difference of the heat which she felt come off of Ben.
