(OOC: Okay.) Amethyst and Bunni watched the other passengers on the ship hustle and bustle about, and Amethyst wondered if she should be doing something to help out. (OOC: Sorry about the short post.)

While Captain Pupp was walking about, eating one of Rosie's cheese crackers, he spotted Amethyst who was pacing aimlessly. "Ahoy, you there! Shouldn't ye be taking a look out? T' the crows nest you go!" Captain Pupp said in a strict yet hearty tone, nudging Amethyst along. "Rosie should really keep an eye on the sailors..." he mumbled to himself. Soon he saw Rosie, in the corner of his eye, instructing one of the sailors who carelessly dropped a box filled with apple juice.
"Rosie, there be me trusty lieutenant! Where were you?" Pupp woofed, patting Rosie on the back and nearly nocking the wind out of her. She squaked loudly, clutching her neck with her claws and frowning at Pupp.
"Stopping foolish sailors from waisting our cargo." Rosie said in a not so friendly tone of voice. Captain Pupp, who was feeling very care free, just laughed heartily.
"Where's that ol' sea spirit in ya, Rosie? Cheer up!" Captain Pupp patted her on the back once more, but this time a little softer. Rosie just frowned even more to this, rubbing her back with her wing. Now Pupp was laughing even harder to the point where his head was nearly falling off. Rosie couldn't help but let out a giggle, which turned into a laugh. "There's the Rosie I know!" Captain Pupp said, slowing his laughter a bit. "Now come on, we've got work t' do." Rosie nodded, following him accordingly.
Once again they entered the room that Captain Pupp was most fond of, opening his wardrobe. In it were various belongings of his, a collection of maps of the universe, a large chest filled with goods, and many, many hats (He collected those, too). He pulled out a paper and unrolled it, a short sigh following. "What's wrong?" Rosie asked. Pupp stayed silent. "It's those ninjas, isn't it?"
"How do I know I can trust 'em?" Captain Pupp said, still facing his wardrobe.
"We're pirates! We're constantly takin' risks, so why would this one be any different?" Rosie hopped onto Pupp's head, crouching so she was only half a inch away from his face. Captain Pupp's spirits soon lifted again, and he put the paper on the table. "What be this?" Rosie chirped, curiousity in her eyes as she flew to the table where the paper was neatly placed.
"That be me special speech, so no touching!" Captain Pupp woofed heartily. He grabbed it took it in his pocket, and exited the room. "We be a good distance away from Lunaryk planet, so now I'll announce the meanin' o' this voyage soon. Prepare to assemble the sailors!"
Rosie nodded, and flew off before Pupp could say "cheese crackers".

"Whaaa--?" Amethyst snapped back to reality, where Captain Pupp was nudging her, telling her to go to the crow's nest. She had, in a way, dozed off. She wandered about aimlessly with Bunni on her back, dreaming about saving the galaxy and being declared ruler of Cookie Planet, where she would be supplied with an endless quantity of cookies. But for now she would go to the crow's nest and keep a lookout for anything of importance. Bunni reformed himself into the shape of an arrow and scooted along the ground, guiding his daydreamer of a companion to the crow's nest.

Captain Pupp was growing tired of waiting. "Rosie, assemble the sailors!" he shouted. Rosie, as usual, did as told, and repeated her very call she did before to catch the sailors attention.
"Assemble! Assemble!" she called, soaring high above the ship, but just enough so that she had enough oxygen produced from the ship. "Assemble! Assemble!" she repeated for about five times or so. The sailors pushed and shoved, hustled and bustled, grunted and barked, snorted and cawed, not waisting a second. Captain Pupp sat down near the quarter deck, just above his little cabin and right next to the helm, waiting for all of the sailors to assemble and making sure none of them were left behind as Rosie counted. "So what's this be all 'bout, Captain?" Rosie chirped, making sure not to loose count.
"I be announcin' the meanin' o' this voyage." Captain Pupp woofed, straightening his hat which he was so fond of.
"Really? 'Bout time ye did!" Rosie said, whistling a little song as she was counting. She composed the words in her head, and she was quite proud of it, making a mental note to write it down sometime soon. Captain Pupp, however, was chuckling to himself as he saw Varik planet in the distance with his telescope. He knew just about every planet in the nearby galaxies, and his dream was to visit each and every one of them--Cookie Planet, especially, where he would meet Cookie Monster himself. He zoned out, deep in his thoughts as he stared at the distant stars that filled the sky with color and beauty.

"Wait, whaa--?" Amethyst looked around and realized that Captain Pupp was barking orders once again. And just as I got up to the crow's nest, she thought. Amethyst was a very lazy pup, and this was apparent to anyone who watched her for more than ten seconds. She moved slowly, talked slowly, and took a number of seconds or even minutes to process what was happening. The other detail that was obvious to any onlookers was that Bunni, her beloved sidekick, was often more of a babysitter than a companion. While he could not speak, lift things, or take the form of a solid object, he was very useful in keeping Amethyst focused and guiding her through her daydream of a life. The pup and her friend wandered back down to the deck and located Captain Pupp. "Yeeeeeeesssssssssss, sirrr?" she asked blankly when she stumbled upon the fact that the captain stood before her. She did, quite literally, stumble on this fact; she walked right into the captain, then looked up and realized what was going on. If Bunni could have sighed, he most definitely would have at that moment. He did, as a matter of fact, do the very closest thing a dust creature can do -- he expanded his particles, puffing himself out momentarily and making a slight wheezing noise. The lids of Amethyst's purple eyes drooped as she drifted into another daydream. Bunni sprouted a pirate hat out of his small dust head.

Captain Pupp snapped out of his dream, Amethyst crashing into him. "Huh? Watch yourself, lad! I be anouncin' the meanin' o' this voyage." Captain Pupp woofed.
"Line up!" Rosie noticed Amethyst, and flew over to her.
"This way! This way!" Rosie chreeted, landing behind the quarter deck. "Who be this young fellow?" Rosie asked curiously, hanging upside down on the sails and cocking her head. At this point plenty of the sailors had lined up, and Captain Pupp was tired of waiting. Rosie noticed this, and chirped in alarm. "I best be going, the Captain's about t' say his speech!" and with that she few off and landed on the helm, nodding her head to tell him that everyone was assembled. Captain Pupp nodded in return, clapping his paws together to get the sailors attention. Once they all had their eyes fixed on him, he cleared his throat and took a deep breath, parting his lips to speak.
"I be gathering you all to tell you the meanin' o' this voyage. Veggie Monster be plottin' t' take over Cookie Planet, with the advantage that they declared him as the new seer, since he accused the previous seer o' doin' exactly what he was plottin' t' do. Veggie Monster's followers be everywhere, even at Lunaryk Planet, which is why I was keepin' it a secret until we took off, away from ear-shot. I've talked t' Apollo, who's agreed t' help. Just as a warnin', though...If any o' you be commitin' the crime of treason, ye be walkin' the plank and hornswaggled of your cookies!" Captain Pupp said, his voice loud, clear, and strict. He nodded his head, eyeing Rosie.
"Thank ye for listenin', ye may go back to business!" Rosie chirped, flying over to Pupp's shoulder.

Amethyst was in a daze during the entire speech Captain Pupp delievered. Veggie Monster... Cookie Planet... seer... treason.... hornswaggled. Bits and pieces of the lecture registered with her, but for the majority she was watching the parrot flying above. What was her name again? Ahh, umm... Roxy? Riley? Wait a minute -- what does hornswaggled mean? She snapped back to reality when she heard the parrot squawk that all the pups could go back to their business. Slowly Amethyst wandered back to the crow's nest, where she saw something large growing faster and faster as it hurled toward towards the ship. I wonder what that could be...

Riutu and Nakendra were there the whole time, listening to Captain Pupp's speech. "Good thing Apollo told us before hand. We're going to have to train a lot for this one." Nakendra said, walking along with Riutu. Riutu shrugged, following, until he noticed the silhouette of...Something?
"Hey Nakendra, what's that big blue thing coming towards us?" Riutu said, curiousity filled his eyes.
"I'm not su--Water balloon cannon!" Nakendra schreeched as the ship tilted over, taking in the impact.
"We're being attacked!" Rosie cawed, Captain Pupp quickly taking out his telescope to see which flag they had.
"Blistering barnacles, buckadeers! Why, if it's a fight they want, it's a fight they shall get! Load the water balloon cannons!" Captain Pupp shouted, suspence chilling him to the bone. The ship had a destinct gold deer on the front, with an oaky shade of brown covering the ship. It had bronze cannons and three rows of sails stained black. The Captain, as Pupp supposed since he was wearing pricey garments, was a brown puppy with mutations similar to a deer, other than the fact that it had wings. "Arun..." Captain Pupp glared, putting his telescope in his pocket.
"Ready the cannons, buckadeers have challenged us!" Rosie said, making sure that no sailor was wasting time. The cannons set off, colliding into the ship and other water balloons that were hurling towards the ship at a dangerous speed.

"Water balloons?" asked Amethyst vaguely. She, as usual, had no clue what was going on, but a water balloon fight sounded like fun so she scrambled down to the deck and prepared herself for a fight. Meanwhile, Bunni floated into the air and over toward the other ship to investigate. He was a great spy like this, but if you weren't good at reading words formed by dust particles, then this skill was basically worthless.

Captain Pupp grinned, climbing up the ratlines and making his way to the fighting top. "Come o'er here and face me, Arun!" Captain Pupp teased, unsheathing his potato gun.
"What?" Arun shouted, too far away from Pupp to hear.
"I said, come o'er here and face me!" Captain Pupp shouted. No reply came from Arun. "I--never mind, I'll just come over there me self!" and with that he ran over to the edge of the ship, stopped by the rails. "Prepare to have your cookies hornswaggled, Arun! Rosie, orbit the ship!"
Rosie dashed into action, readying the ropes to be tied to the ship. "Pull!" Rosie instructed the sailors, taking hold of the helm and moving dangerously close to the ship. Captain Pupp shot a potato into one of the opposing sailors mouths, climbing into the ship. "To the cargo hold!" Captain Pupp barked, Arun running straight at him with a stick.
"Chew on this!" he shouted, sticking his stick into Pupp's mouth. Captain Pupp, taken by surprise, dropped his potato gun and spit out the stick, realizing Arun's plot when he ran off with his potato gun.
"Shiver me timbers!" Captain Pupp exclaimed, "Take out the monkey cannons, without 'em all ye has is a couple of broken sticks and rotten potato guns!" Captain Pupp yelled. Rosie tried doing as told, but saw that the cannons were bronze and copper with a steal core.
"Chippin' cheese crackers! How in Lunaryk did he get all this? Won't we have our cookie jars and treasure chests full." Rosie chirped, hornswaggling the ammo and throwing it at one of the sailors.
"Quickly! Quickly! Check the cargo hold!" Arun shouted, sailors jumping and running, pushing and shoving, water balloons flying through the air. Rosie grinned mischievously, flying over to the cargo hold.

Amethyst fired water balloons in rapid succession at the opposing ship, until she saw Captain Pupp board the other ship. What if I accidentally hit him? she wondered, knowing her aim was far from perfect. Bunni, meanwhile, had settled into the fur of one of the other soldiers and was observing what was going on around him. Rosie, it seemed, was stealing the cannons, which were made of precious minerals. Sometimes Bunni wished he and Amethyst had a psychic connection. Wouldn't it be great if she could know all these things he was seeing? Unfortunately, the only chance of that happening would be if they happened to meet a wizard, and what were the chances of that? Amethyst was still trying to figure out what "hornswaggled" meant when she realized that Rosie was stealing the other ship's cannons. What do we need with those? she wondered cluelessly, oblivious to the fact that the cannons were sparkling.
(OOC: I don't have 'Pirate' as one of my options, though... Also, I was kind of confused about what was going on, but I think they're stealing the cannons. Let me know if I'm wrong.)

(OOC: They're stealing the ammo and the cookies in the cargo hold, sorry if I didn't make that clear. Oh yeah, and "hornswaggle" means to steal, in case your wondering. XD It's pirate talk.) As Rosie was venturing in the cargo hold, she spotted two pirates standing guard in front of several barrels. Must be the cookies they're guarding... Rosie thought. She smiled mischieviously, swinging her stick around and catching the guards by surprise. "Hand me those cookies, will ye?" Rosie chirped, standing on a barrel filled with water. "I'd rather give ye the map t' Davy Jones' locker!" a dragon said, unsheathing his stick. Rosie unsheathed hers, and so did the wolf next to the dragon. Rosie, with all her strength, pushed the water barrel down, causing the water to spew out and the wolf to slip. "Looks like it's you and me." the dragon said, firmly holding his stick. He lunged at Rosie, sending her crashing onto the floor. Rosie, holding her breath and acting as if she was dead, distracted the dragon for a bit as he waited for her to get up. When she more or less recovered from the hit and when the dragon was starting to get worried, she got up and flew onto the dragon, hitting the lamp above him and making it topling onto his head. "I'm going to have to get some reinforcments to carry all the cargo back to the ship...That is, once we get past all of the other pirates." she said to herself, collapsing onto the floor with exhaustion. She flew back outside and called the sailors to help her before it was too late. The buckadeers noticed this, and Arun sent all of his men to stop them. "Hurry!" Rosie said, holding back the others from getting to them.

(OOC: Sorry I haven't been around for a while, but I can be a lot more active now I've settled into the school routine again. Could someone fill me in on what's happened since I was last here? I've read everyone's posts but I'm still a bit confused. What I've understood is that another ship tried to attack our ship and now Captain Pupp and Rosie went over to the other ship and are trying to steal their cargo? Is that right or have I got this completely wrong XD)

(OOC: Okay, great, and thanks!)
Apollo followed Captain Pupp and Rosie, leaping silently across to the other ship. Dodging potatos and water balloons, the ninja master landed on the deck. Enemy and allied pirates seemed to be fighting each other whilst all coming as a group down to the cargo hold, where Apollo knew Rosie was. Turning back towards the Rubber Ducky, Apollo gave a howl, a ninja signal for all the ninjas to gather ready for a battle.

Riutu and Nakendra followed Apollo when he gave the signal, not even the tap-tap-tap of their paws to be heard. They hid behind the mast as a pirate passed by, throwing one of their paper-crafted ninja stars at them. Nakendra, expecting the pirate to fall over by now, instead brought his attention to her. "Hey!" he exclaimed in a rough, deep voice, appearing to be a dragon. "I can smell you, pup..." the dragon hissed, looking behind the mast to find that Riutu and Nakendra were gone.
"That was a close one!" Nakendra said, slinking in the shadows as she filled up her bag with booty from the ship. "C'mon Riutu, I think this is enough booty we've collected for now. To the Rubber Ducky!" Nakendra yipped, making sure she didn't get cocky as Riutu followed.

Bunni found a small dragon he recognized as Riutu and settled into his scales, knowing that he and his partner were heading back to the Rubber Ducky.

(OOC: You better stalk up on your pirate knowledge, because this one has a lot of pirate talk. XD To those of you who are confused as to what's going on, basically Captain Pupp and Captain Arun, the captain of the buckadeers, are battling each other...More with words than with sticks.)
As all the sailors of the Rubber Ducky were satisfied with the amount of booty they had and were now leaving, Arun couldn't let them escape without a fight from at least Rosie, who was a terrible fighter compared to Captain Pupp and mainly used her brains in battle. "Come 'ere and face me, manatee Puppy Pants!" Arun barked, sticking his long, pink toung out. Captain Pupp, due to his pride, swelled with anger and ran after him, Rosie attempting to drag him back to the ship.
"Hah! Might as well summon Charlie Noble if ye can't even lift a mop, much less a stick!" Captain Pupp laughed, filled with confidence yet boiling with anger inside.
"Don't use that trick o' meself, I be no cabin pup ye sick sea urchin!" Arun yelled, unsheathing his stick and preparing for the first blow.
"I'd like you much be'er if yer' monkey suit was too big!" Captain Pupp said, a mischevious smile on his face as he attempted to wack Arun with a stick as Arun attempted to wack him.
"I'd like you much be'er if yer' monkey cannons were for mice!" Arun said, running out of insults as he pushed Captain Pupp's stick with his, banging his head with it. Captain Pupp, dazed, quickly got up as he partly on purposely fell onto Arun with all his body weight, sending him toppling to the ground.
"Hah! Maybe if ye stomache wasn't as big as a flying squid you'd react quicker!" Captain Pupp said, proving himself to be a hypocrite as he managed to stand up again, his large belly bulging out like an inflated balloon. Arun lunged at him, surprising Pupp as he took his stick and put his next to his neck.
"Hehehe." Arun said. "Now, give me all of yer cookies, Pupp!" he said, his crew standing nearby with mischievous grins.
"Never!" Captain Pupp said, spitting on Arun. He barked in surprise as Pupp ran off, heading to his ship.
"Ye sea urchin! Get 'im!" Arun shouted. Pupp grabbed his stick, dodging and jumping over the opposing sailors who were chasing after him. He danced about, occasionally blocking attacks with his stick as he gave Rosie the signal.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Rosie squaked, heading towards the ship and checking to see if the sailors were following. The sailors did accordingly, pushing and shoving past Arun's sailors. They hustled and bustled about, zooming towards the ship like there was no tomorrow and whipping their sticks furiously. Rosie, to give the sailors a head start to the ship, shot a water balloon cannon at a fairly large group of sailors. At last they all made to the ship and took off again, leaving a furious Arun behind to tower them with insults which they could not hear due to them being out of ear-shot. Captain Pupp snickered, gasping in delight as he saw a large blue speck coming closer to them.
"Yo o' yo o' and a bottle of rum! Cookie planet, here we come!" he shouted to Rosie with glee, his mouth gaping open in awe and excitement. Rosie chreeted, making a loop in the air as she whistled a little song she had composed herself.
