Ryoko's Life, Amber Riel [life changing books .txt] 📗

her fingers in front of Olivia. “Olivia?”
“Huh?” Olivia blinked and looked at Ryoko. “What?”
“Do you think that we should let these two boys join our crew?”
Olivia looked over at Robbie and Zack. She tilted her head, trying to decide. “Yea.”
“Okay. You two are in.”
“Alright,” Zack said.
Robbie smiled, looking at Zelda. He was going to be able to see Zelda everyday and he enjoyed the thought.
“You two drink rum?” Ryoko asked. She figured that they were holding the rum for her alcoholic cousin. It was her fault though. She gave Zelda rum to help her stop having nightmares about the deaths of her parents, but she didn't realize that Zelda was going to get addicted.
“Yea, actually we do,” Robbie replied. “And when Zelda said she was looking for rum, we brought her over to where we get our rum. It works. Nothing but rum.”
“Oh.” Well, one thing for certain, Zelda wasn't going to have any nightmares for a while. “You three should start a support group,” Ryoko said, smiling.
The boys laughed, but they didn't realize that Ryoko met it.
Mike lost his sword in the middle of the fight and Zelda picked it up. Mike dropped to his knees, holding up his hands as if he were praying. “Please, let me go,” Mike cried. “I'm too young to die.”
“Too young.... You're older than me. What's your name?” Zelda asked.
“Mike.”
“Oh. Mikey. Leave and take your friend with you.”
Elliot had surrendered as well and the two bounty hunters decided to leave. Mike didn't bother to ask Zelda for his sword back. Zelda decided to give the sword, which had fallen to Ryoko.
“No more betting your sword, captain.”
“Thanks, Zelda.” Ryoko had taken the sword with appreciation and great pride. “At least two more stops.... We need two more shipmates.”


Russel made his way to the town. He was ready to take any measure of destruction to destroy Pluto. He was face to face with King Artic.
“Leave my planet. You and all of those other bounty hunters don't belong here,” Artic told the man.
“All I want is to kill all of the pirates that you have in jail.... Well, prison.”
“No.... You can't come on my....”
It didn't take long for Russel to pull his sword out and jab it into Artic's stomach. The ice king wasn't expecting Russel to do something like that. Artic's mouth opened, pouring out blood. “I knew you would agree.” Russel removed the sword and Artic fell to the ground dead.


Breeza was standing behind a building, covering her mouth to keep from screaming. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at her dead husband. The good king had fallen.


Russel wasn't in a rush. He just walked off as if he didn't do anything. He felt no guilt, no remorse. He didn't feel bad once so ever. He did his job and now he was going to the prison to murder all the pirates, he could find before they all escaped. Ryoko & Jackson's War

Ryoko and Jackson were on the deck of the Blue Ram, arguing. Zelda and Robbie were sharing a bottle of rum. Zelda shook her head at Ryoko and Jackson.
“Are they always like this?” Robbie asked.
“Yep. It's been like this ever since we met Jackson. They've been down each others throats.”
“We're going....” Ryoko started saying before Jackson started to walk off. “Where are you going? Get back here and.... Ooo.... You make me so mad.”
Zelda and Robbie watched as Jackson walked past them, then Ryoko run and jumped on him. Jackson grew angry.
“They make a cute couple,” Robbie said, handing the rum bottle to Zelda.
“Thank you and I think that they like each other.”
“You welcome. Maybe we should try and hook them up.”
Zack walked up onto the deck with three extra bottles of rum. He made his way over to Robbie and Zelda as Ryoko ran past him and into the captain's office of the ship, closing the door behind her. Jackson ran to the door and tried to open it. He started kicking and banging on the door. “HEY.... OPEN UP.... LET ME IN.... CAPTAIN!”
“What's that all about?” Zack asked.
“They're trying to decide where to go,” Zelda told him.
“Oh. Isn't it your job to help the captain decide what planet to go to next?”
“Yea, but then Jackson showed up and started arguing with her so I decided to back off.”
“Oh.”
“So, Zacknator, did you bring us rum?”
“Yep.” Zack handed a bottle to Zelda and another one to Robbie. He kept the third one for himself.
“Zacknator. That's a cool nickname. What's mine?” Robbie asked.
Zelda grew wide-eyed. She didn't know a good nickname for Robbie. She didn't want to call him “cutie” or anything like that because then he would know that she liked him and she didn't know how he would feel. “Um.... Um.... How 'bout? Um.... Robbie.... Robbie.... How's.... Rob? I can't come up with anything better. Sorry.”
Robbie smiled. “I like it.”
Zelda smiled in relief.


Zelda sat in the dinning room of the ship, looking up at the ceiling. The ceiling wasn't decorated or anything, she was just bored. She leaned back in the chair and fell back when she heard the door open and close. She stood up and picked up the chair and placed it back where it was.
“Zelda, what are you doing in here?” Jackson asked as he walked into the room.
“Dinning. I mean this is a dinning room so duh.”
Jackson looked at the table and noticed that there weren't any plates on the long, brown table, which sat eight people. “If you were dinning, then where's your plate?”
“The kitchen I just forgot to go get it.”
“Oh.”
Zelda sat back down and looked up at Jackson. “Why don't you go get some rum? A bottle for you and a bottle for me? Then sit down and explain to me why.... Why.... Why....”
“Why what?”
Zelda thought but couldn't think of anything. “I don't know.... I forgot what I was going to ask.... Anyways, talk to me 'cause I'm bored and need someone to talk to.”
Jackson smiled. He enjoyed being around Zelda. She was like a little sister that he had to love no matter how much trouble she got into with him. “Sure. I'll go get us rum.”
“Good.”
Jackson started to leave the room.
“Oh and can you stop by the kitchen and get my.... Something sandwich. I made a sandwich and forgot what kind it was.... But it's a sandwich, and it should be on the counter.... If it's not then someone must of ate it.”
Jackson smiled and shook his head. “Where's your two drinking buddies?”
“Oh they went to talk to Ryoko about something.” Zelda returned a smile.
Jackson left the room.

Breeza's Sad News

A couple of hours had pasted and Zelda and Jackson walked out of the dinning room, laughing. Zelda was holding an empty rum bottle as Jackson walked away and Olivia walked over to Zelda, watching Jackson leave.
“What was that about?” Olivia asked.
“We were just talking....”
“Ooo.... Did he say anything about me?”
“No.”
“Oh.... Did he ask about me?”
Zelda just looked at Olivia. She didn't even realize why Olivia was asking questions about Jackson. She was really confused. “I'm pretty sure that if he asked about you that would of meant that he mentioned you.”
Olivia thought about that and realized that was true. She wasn't going to give up though. She really liked Jackson and was hoping that he liked her as well. “Oh.”
“Now.” Zelda held the rum bottle upside down to see if there was anything left. She was kind of disappointed that nothing came out, not even a little drop, the bottle was so empty. “I need more rum.” She walked away, disappointed.


Ryoko was in her office, sitting behind her desk, thinking. She had a map laid out in front of her and was trying to choose the next planet, even though, she already had one in mind. There was a knock on the door. “COME IN!” she called.
Robbie and Zack walked in as she looked up at them.
She was disappointed to see them. She didn't have a problem with her two newest members, but she knew what they were trying to do and didn't want to deal with it. “Look. I told you guys already, I don't like Jackson.... I never liked Jackson.... And I never will like Jackson. Now, go. Please.”
“But you do like Jackson,” Robbie said. “You just don't want to admit. Oh yea. And never say never. You don't know what will happen. Right, Zack.”
“Right,” Zack agreed.
Ryoko slid down in the chair. She didn't want two guys telling her how she felt.
“Don't worry, captain. Us three agree that you two make a good couple.”
“Three?”
“Yea. Zelda's helping us too. She's talking to Jackson.”
Ryoko kind of hit her head against the table. She couldn't believe that her cousin was in on the whole idea as well.


Breeza was in the throne room, pacing back and forth, crying. She couldn't believe that her dear husband was dead. She had to tell the town that the king was dead, but first she was going to tell Craig. She couldn't tell anyone herself because of the pain that was caused because of Russel. Tears were quickly falling down her cheeks as she cried.
“You wanted to see me, your highness?” Craig asked as he walked into the room.
Breeza stopped and faced him. He could see the tears which were crawling out of her eyes.
“What's wrong, Queen Breeza?”
“The king.... King Artic.... Artic, my husband.... My husband is dead.”


Saphire was outside of the throne room. Shock took over, then she felt her eyes water. She started crying as she heard the news of her father's death.


“What happened?”
“A bounty hunter.... A bounty hunter killed him.... He was trying to stop him, but the man didn't care.... A bounty hunter murdered my husband.”


Saphire backed away slowly, tears flying down her face. She couldn't believe the news. Her heart was pounding.


Ryoko had Robbie and Jackson tie the ship up to the dock. The planet which they had landed on had nasty tornado weather. Ryoko
