PBB: A Pirate's Life

Chapter 3

I'm not sure Adagio Dazzle knows what I've gotten us into. She asked me why Sonata Dusk needed to be captured, which I answered with explaining how dangerous she's become. She didn't really approve of that answer all that much, and told me that she would never fight Sonata to get the blue haired siren to surrender. "Listen. You might not wanna fight Sonata, but you're gonna have to help us fight her droids at least." I told her, warning her about the dangers of this mission. She said that she didn't care, as long as she and Aria got their friend back. So I told her "Go below deck and find the barrel with cutlasses in it. The cutlass you pull from that barrel is yours." and she did so, with little to no haste.

After she came back up from below deck, I told her to hold her sword out against me. As she did that, I pulled out my own cutlass getting ready to teach her how to use a sword. Before we started sword dueling practice, she asked me "Are you gonna turn me into a pirate" which I answered with a simple "Maybe" and we started dueling. I taught her to use her sword with only her dominant hand, how to block, lunge, slash, dodge, and many other swashbuckling sword dueling basics. A few hours went by, and she told me "I underestimated you there for a second. I think this could be fun". She then smiled, and then I smiled. I knew I have made the right move.

We continued our fencing, but stopped when Adagio slipped on a water puddle left behind by one of the cabin boys and fell over the edge of the ship and into the ocean. Adagio was flailing her arms in the open water. She couldn't swim, and was about to drown. Aria gasped in fear for her friend, and all of my crew scrambled "SIREN OVERBOARD! SIREN OVERBOARD"! It was a frighting sight to see. My friend, Huron (one of the archers who helped me and the Sirens escape the school), gave me a rope and said "Go dive and catch her. We'll pull you up once you come back up". I tied the rope to my waist and jumped into the ocean after her.

As Adagio was slowly descending into the waters, slowly losing consciousness and air, I was swimming after her faster than my heart could beat, but the rope Huron gave me was dragging me and slowing my swim making it more difficult. She was sinking and sinking until I finally caught Adagio by the hand. As I caught her, Adagio body nearly made it to the ink-black depths of the ocean. I had to hurry because she wasn't the only one losing air. I felt light headed for a second, but I tugged on the rope, and the both of us were being dragged back onto the Cursed Shell. I coughed out what little water made it into my mouth, and Adagio received some CPR to get the water out of her.

"Oh my goodness, Adagio! Are you alright?" Aria yelled, shocked to see what just happened. "I'm fine Aria. I'm just a bit cold." Adagio replied, shivering and covered in a blanket for warmth and for drying herself. I saw her continue to shiver, so I decided to sit right next to her while she dries off, so that she could warm up. Adagio then thanked me for warming her up before they continued. "It seems to me that the water got into your clothes." I said to Adagio, reminding her that she was not only fully clothed, but in the same clothes that we met each other in. "What do you mean?" She replied, curious to know what I mean by that. "Would you like a new change of clothes? One that will suit a sailor?" I offered to Adagio, who accepted, seeing as she was still soaking wet. I then gave her a violet overshirt, deep purple shorts, black boots, a couple of sashes, and a big violet hat just to top it all off.

We both went below to get her changed into her new clothes. I wasn't looking at her of course because just because I'm a pirate doesn't mean I'm not a gentleman. To be honest, when she got changed in her knew clothes, I thought she would be upset at me because I'm trying to turn her into a pirate, which she well knows already. But instead, she said "Wow! I never knew that you guys could have these clothes in violet. This day gets from bad from good easily. Can I keep it?", which I admired, and let her keep for herself. As she came back on deck, she showed herself off to everyone on deck, who was cheering that she might even join the crew if I would allow. The only one who wasn't cheering was Aria. "Aria, what's wrong?" Adagio asked her friend, who then pointed at Huron, Limlugeth, Daddy Banks, and I as if we did something to her.
