At Uma's home

Uma smacked Harry hand as he attempted to touch her seashell collection. She was gathering clothes for bed when she realized a problem. The cuff will make it difficult to change clothes and shower. Uma decides not shower until tomorrow. Hopefully by then, she will unchained from him.

She sat on her bed and grabbed a map book. Harry sat next to her. Uma closed her book.

"Who say you can be on my bed?" She asked before pushing him up. Harry stood up. He yanked his wrist back to make Uma stumble forward. She dropped her book. Harry pick it up before she could.

"Planning on escaping the isle?"Harry suggested. He gestured to the routes drawn on several maps of water. Uma snatched her book back.

"No. That's impossible."said Uma. People tried before and failed. Her mother made this book before they were caught. She hope one day to leave but that dream died when next generation was born in the isle. So now Uma used it to daydream about a future of adventure.

"Especially because you are missing the islands." Harry points out. Uma narrowed her eyes.

"What are you talking about?"asked Uma.

"My dad have maps similar to those but he has island marked and types of people there."said Harry. He used to read those all the time when he was little. His dad would tell him stories about his past adventures.

Uma realized maybe Harry is useful. Uma gave him the book.

"Show me." She demands. Harry smirks. Knowledge is power such on the isle where there limit resources for information. Books are not top priority when sending resources so there few books they did have they kept in school library with a strict librarian.

"I will give locations of the islands when we are uncuff." He states. Uma raised an eyebrow as he gave the book back.

"I thought you wanted me dead."said Uma. Harry shrugged.

"People change their minds." He suggests. Harry did want to kill her but she can useful as ally.

Uma didn't like how easy his mind changed. They been cuff for almost day. She didn't trust him but she willingly play his game if it means she is one step closer to her dream.

"Sure." She said passively. She reads her book of maps as she sat in bed. Harry started cleaning his hook as he sat on the floor next to Uma.

After few minutes, Uma was tired but was too nervous to sleep with unfamiliar person nearby. She starts reading another book. Harry was also fighting his sleep as he didn't trust Uma.

The two teens had silently battle against sleep. They were both losing. Uma drifted to sleep as she leaned against her pillows. Harry felt asleep sitting up until gravity pull his head to side. His head was against Uma lap.

They were woken up the next morning but Uma alarm. Uma sleepy smacked the alarm clock off. She sat up and yawned. She noticed Harry hugged her leg as he slept. She flickered his forehead. He woke up in a slight daze. He rubbed his eyes and realized the cuffs weren't a dream because he still cuffed to Uma.

"Get up we have work to do."said Uma as she stood up. Harry chuckled as he stood up.

"We? You are your mother slave not me." Said Harry. Uma gestured to the cuffs.

"You are today. So suck it up." Said Uma. They downstairs. Uma started preparing the kitchen while Harry assist. It was hard navigating in the small kitchen with another person. Then Ursula started yelling demands to Uma from another room.

" I am busy!" Yelled Uma in annoyance.

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me!" Said Ursula. Uma immediately ducked and yank Harry down with her as tentacle swipe above their heads. Ursula recoiled her tentacle back to the room.

"Someone got trouble." Harry teased. Uma rolled her eyes. Uma finished prepping the kitchen before grabbing an apron. She wrapped the string around herself twice before tying a bow in the front. Harry was shocked how small her waist was. Uma mistook his staring as confusion. She tied his apron with ease.

"Now keep up." She said. They edited the kitchen. They saw a full restaurant. Uma took the customers and put to memory while Harry was still struggling to remember the first order. They went to the kitchen. Uma made the orders while Harry tried to keep up with her pace. Uma made Harry carry a tray of food while she carried another tray. They served the food to the guests.

The customers were making many complaints of serving size, spicness, and temperature. Harry was getting annoyed he surprised Uma didn't punch them. Uma responded with sass instead of violent.

"And I wanted seapony. Life ain't fair." said Uma to a customer complaining about the having wrong order.

Uma sassed customers right and left. But they left tips. Mostly because Uma demands that they did. Harry was impressed by able to take charge of situations.

"Cap!"said Desiree. She walked in with Bonnie. They greeted Uma before sitting at their usual table.

"The usual?" Asked Uma. The crew agreed while glaring at Harry. "He is bark no bite" she adds. Harry was offended. He pointed his hook at her face. Uma was unfazed as he sent murderous glare to her.

" I definitely bite, darling." He said. Uma pushed his hook out of her face.

"Anyways, any leads?" Asked Uma. The crew gave her disappointing looks. She took off her apron and gave it to Bonnie.

"I am going to ask around. I will be back."she said. Harry took his apron off and toss to Bonnie before leaving. Uma was about head the directions of the merchants but Harry had different plans.

"I know someone who could help us."said Harry. Uma didn't look convinced.

"We tried your ideas. they failed."Harry points out. " now we try mine."he said. He started walking south. Uma followed his lead.
