Ryoko.
“What's this?” Artic asked. He thought about the two girls and was wondering why the three cops had the young girls in cuffs. It was something that broke his heart and he thought about his own two daughters, Saphire and Alaska. “Why are these two girls in handcuffs?”
“Well, your honor,” Craig replied, “these two young ladies decided to rob a bank. Their pirates, sir.”
“Pirates? But---”
“Don't let them fool you by their ages and their looks....”
Ryoko saw sadness in the good king's eyes and an idea popped into her head. “Your honor.... Can I say something?”
“What?”
“Me and my cousin here,” Ryoko said, making herself cry, “we weren't robbing a bank.... These cops caught us with water guns and thought that we robbed the bank.... So they arrested us....”
“That's not....” Zelda started to say, but Ryoko cut her off.
“We're innocent and because we were playing a game as pirates they arrested us....”
The king was falling for the kid's story. The three cops dropped their mouths in disbelief.
“We're innocent.”
King Artic felt horrible. “What are you're names?”
“I'm Ryoko Griffen and this is my cousin, Zelda Griffen. Please let us go.”
“Release them,” Artic said.
“What?” Craig asked, shocked. “Sir, she's lying.... We can't....”
“Release them.”
“But....”
“Craig. Release them.”
Craig sighed. “Okay. But, I'm warning you, they're pirates.” He pulled out the keys and unlocked the cuffs, freeing each girl. New Recruits

Ryoko and Zelda made their way out of the palace as Jackson and Olivia made they're way up the palace steps. Jackson smiled as Ryoko eyed him.
“I told you,” Jackson laughed. “Sword please?” He held out his hands as Ryoko reluctantly handed him the sword. “So, how did they manage to release you?”
“Well, the king doesn't like when young girls are blamed for a crime. We were released because of the good king.... He believed my lie.” Ryoko started to walk off.
Jackson kind of smiled. He liked being right, but he enjoyed being part of a crew. He followed Zelda, who had been dying to get more rum. Olivia walked with Ryoko to see what they were going to do next.


Winter had made his way back to the ship all by himself, but none of the four young pirates had even noticed that he had left them and Ryoko ran over and hugged him. “I'm sorry, baby,” she said to the little bear. “I didn't realize that you were gone.”
“Good job, mommy, you forgot all about your little baby,” Jackson mocked.
Ryoko let go of the bear, stood up, and turned to face Jackson. Olivia and Zelda seen the fury in Ryoko's eyes and ran to take cover, leaving Jackson all by himself.
“Don't mock me. Just because you won that stupid bet doesn't make you.... It doesn't mean that you can mock me.”
Jackson could tell that Ryoko was mad and placed his hands on her shoulders to try and calm her down.
“Don't touch me.” Ryoko pushed his arms from around her. “Go drive the ship....”
“But you said....”
“Just drive the ship to Connie.... Now.”
“Okay.”
Ryoko stomped off. Olivia and Zelda came out of hiding and walked back over to Jackson. Zelda placed a hand on Jackson's shoulder. “She'll be okay,” Zelda told him. “She just needs time to cool off.”
“Okay.”
“Got any rum?”
“What?”
“Zelda,” Olivia said.
“What?” Zelda asked, holding up both hands. “That mean cop took my rum from me.” She thought about it and started crying. “He's probably drinking it without me.”
Olivia and Jackson looked at Zelda, confused.
“It's just rum,” Jackson said.
“Just rum?” That made Zelda cry even harder.
“You had to say that?” Olivia asked Jackson.
“She's crying over a drink.”
Ryoko walked out of the captain's office. “Okay, which one of you made Zelda cry?”
Olivia used her thumb to point to Jackson.
“I told you to get this ship off of this planet.... Now go.”
“Okay.” Jackson walked away.
“What's wrong, Zelda?” Ryoko asked.
“I have no more rum.”
“Okay. There's rum in the wine cellar. Olivia, go with her. She's afraid of the dark.”
“Okay. Come on, Zelda.”
Ryoko watched as Olivia and Zelda walked away. She needed time to herself. Memories from the past were rushing through her mind. She thought about her aunt and uncle who were now decaying bodies. “Don't worry, Uncle Ash, and Aunt Chealsey, I won't let anything happen to Zelda,” she whispered as if they were there.


Two 12-year-old boys roamed around a town on the Planet Connie. They were two best friends. One was African-American and kind of chubby, while the other one was white and skinny. They were runaways, trying to find where they fit in. The African-American was some what tall, but the white boy was a little bit taller.


Zelda had strayed away from the other three to find rum on the planet. She had run into the two boys, locking eyes with the taller one. She thought he was cute and his beautiful hazel eyes had her in a daze with his kind of long, brown hair. Suddenly, she had forgotten all about the rum.
“Hi, I'm Robbie Knight and this is my friend, Zack Stevens,” the hazel eyes boy said, smiling.
“Hi, I'm Zelda Griffen,” she replied, returning the smile.
“It's nice to meet you, Zelda,” Robbie said. “That's a pretty name for a pretty girl.”
Zelda blushed. “Thank you.”
“If I didn't know any better,” Zack whispered to Robbie, “I'd say that you like her.”
“Sh. We just met,” Robbie whispered back to get Zack to be quiet. “So, Zelda, what brings you to this planet?”
Zelda remembered what she was there for. “Rum.”
“Rum?” Robbie asked, looking at Zack.
“Yea.... Actually, I'm looking for rum, but my cousin is looking for more shipmates.... Do you two want to become pirates?”
Robbie and Zack looked at each other then to Zelda. “Yea.”
Zelda smiled, biting her lip. “Come one with me.”


“Okay.... We should....” Ryoko turned to face the others. “Where's Zelda?”
“Probably looking for rum,” Olivia pointed out.
“She better be around here. Come on you two. We need to find her.”


Robbie and Zack had brought Zelda to a warehouse which was filled with nothing but rum. Zelda was so excited. Her life long dream had come true. Everywhere she turned there was rum. “Thank you, guys. This is awesome we should tell the others.... They'll love this.”
Robbie and Zack laughed as they watched Zelda grab a bunch of bottles filled to the top with rum.
“Come on. This is awesome.”
As they stepped out of the warehouse two young bounty hunters, each in their 20's, walked past them, not realizing that a pirate was among the three kids. One bounty hunter had black hair and pitch black eyes, while the other one had wild, blonde hair and light blue eyes. They had a conversation as Zelda and the two boys walked past them.
The one with the dark hair noticed Zelda. “Hey, Mike. Doesn't that girl match one of the descriptions of pirates that Leo told us about?”
Mike looked over at Zelda. “No. I think he said that she was taller than that girl.”
“Oh.”
“Don't feel bad, Elliot. I'm sure it happens to everyone.”
“Oh okay.”
Zelda looked back at the two bounty hunters and realized she was in trouble. Well, she was going to cause trouble.

Battling Bounty Hunters

Zelda handed the bottles of rum to each boy. She turned toward the two bounty hunters and pulled out her sword. “You two want a piece of me?” she asked, narrowing her eyes.
Elliot and Mike just looked at Zelda, then realized that she was one of the pirates who they're boss had mentioned.
“Draw your swords, bounty hunters.”
The two bounty hunters noticed that Zelda was challenging them. She was willing to fight two on one. Elliot looked over at Mike and nodded. They each pulled out their swords and got ready to attack the young pirate, but each of them were kind of confused to as why Zelda was willing to fight both of them at the same time.
Zelda kind of smiled as she waited for one of them to move.
“Mike, you attack first.... I'll wait.”
“Okay, Elliot.”
Mike went to attack and Zelda blocked it, laughing. “Is that the best you can do?” she asked.
Mike grew mad and attacked again, but Zelda still blocked it. They went back and forth attacking and blocking. When Elliot seen that the fight wasn't really going anywhere, he decided that he would go in for the attack to help his pal out. He went to attack Zelda, but out of nowhere Jackson blocked the attack.
“I was wondering if he was ever going to try and attack, Jackson 1,” Zelda called to him.
Jackson blocked another attack from Elliot, shaking his head at Zelda's remark. He had been hiding behind a dumpster and Zelda had seen him.
“GO, ZELDA!” Robbie called, watching Zelda's fight with Mike. He was impressed with her fighting skills.
Ryoko and Olivia made their way over to Robbie and Zack, but kind of keeping their distance. Jackson looked over and as he fought, he was doing what he could to impress his captain. Ryoko rolled her eyes. Olivia couldn't keep her eyes off of Jackson and she was falling for the boy. Ryoko turned her attention to the two boys, who she didn't recognize, but noticed that each of them were holding rum bottles. She looked over at her younger cousin and then back to the boys.
“Excuse me,” she said to them.
Robbie and Zack looked over at Ryoko.
“Where did you get those bottles of rum?”
“A warehouse that we showed her,” Zack said as he pointed to Zelda.
Ryoko looked at Zelda again and sighed. “Oh, Zelda,” she said to herself.
“You know her?”
“Yea. She's my cousin and the first mate of my crew....”
“So you're Captain Ryoko?” Robbie asked. He realized that Ryoko and Zelda kind of looked a like. “You want two more shipmates?”
“Yea.... Why?”
“We're two runaways. I'm Robbie knight and....”
“And I'm Zack Stevens. Zelda was telling us about you and mentioned that you're here for a crew.”
“What do you think, Olivia?”
Olivia was in a daze, watching Jackson move as he fought, to even hear Ryoko's question.
Ryoko snapped
