Captain Foxy walks out to the deck early in the morning, about six o'clock. He is greeted by Chica, who is the most clingy of the crew. He finds it annoying, but if he said something to her, she would snap right back with a even more snarkier comment. He paces slowly to Bonnie who is standing by the ledge of the ship.  Bonnie looks over at Foxy and smiles slightly, greeting him.

"Aye, morning Cap'n. What's the plan today?" Bonnie asks.

"Well, I plan to dock at Sullivan to visit me acquaintance and her family." Foxy responds resting his elbows on the ledge and breathes in the crisp, morning air.

"Oh you mean the lass who found ya and brought you to her family and they basically raised you? Speaking of the lass, what is her name again, Maggie?" Bonnie questions.

"Ah, no mate, ye were close, but her name be Mangle. Last I saw her was when we were about fifteen. I don't know, all I know it was quite a few years ago." Foxy says to Bonnie. Bonnie nods and pulls out a flask and takes a sip and suggests it to Foxy.

"Would you like some whiskey? It warms ya up on the cold days." Bonnie says. Foxy shakes his head.

"We need to be sober when we dock in Sullivan. I can't have me crew acting like dumbasses when we present ourselves to the royal family." Foxy says pushing the flask away. Bonnie nods and puts it away.


It is now afternoon and Freddy lowers the anchor while Bonnie sets the ramp down for everyone to walk down at the docks. Foxy goes down first, followed by Chica and the rest. He pays the docking fee and then walks down the dock and towards the village.

"Alright, ye sea-dawgs, I expect you all to act like gentlemen. We are in an acquaintance's homeland, if ye ruin my reputation, I will skin ye and feed ye to wild dogs, aye?" Foxy says strictly.

"Aye." The crew shouts in unison. Chica rolls her eyes and wraps her arm around Foxy's bicep.

"Aye, Capt'n." She says sweetly, Foxy glares at her and she lets go.

"Remind me to scorch me arm later." He mumbles quietly and starts walking. Bonbon zips past the crew and walks beside Foxy.

"Ahoy Capt'n, we visiting my cousin Mangle today?" Bonbon questions.

"Aye, if we get there before sundown." Foxy replies.

"What happens if we don't make it by sundown?"

"We will set up camp."

"Sounds like an adventure Cap'n!" Bonbon says excitedly, Foxy chuckles.

"Settle down young lass, I believe we will be there before sundown, it is only about eleven o'clock." Foxy says.

The crew walks the path to the castle of Sullivan, where the royal family awaits. They walk for four hours, and take a break by a small pond outside of the gates of the castle. Foxy drinks some water from his canteen while Chica annoyingly whines on how hot she is.

"Chica, I hear another word from you, I will leave ye on an island for a month!" Foxy snaps and Chica gets it together.

"Can we continue?" Bonbon asks impatiently, wanting to see her cousin desperately.

"Aye, everyone off yer asses and walk." Foxy says to the crew and everyone cooperates.


Foxy knocks on the gates as a guard turns around.

"State your business here." One of them says.

"Aye, it be Capt'n Foxy Hook, I be here to see the family." Foxy says.

"Let him in." The other guard says. Both guards open the gates and allow the small portion of the crew in. Foxy walks to the butler and greets him.

"Aye, it is Foxy, where be the family?" He questions.

"I'll lead you there, sir. Follow me, the rest stay here while I notify the king you others are here." The butler says and leads Foxy to the throne room where Queen Katherine and King Jordan sit.

"I present to you Captain Foxy Hook." The butler says, "There are a few others. Please let me know when to bring them in." The butler walks away quietly.

"Foxy!" Queen Katherine says happily. King Jordan stands up and greets Foxy.

"How ye been lad?" King Jordan asks.

"I've been good. Thank ye for asking." Foxy says and bows to show respect.

"Ah! That's lovely!" Katherine says with a warm smile, and gently hugs him.

"Aye. If ye don't mind asking, but where be Mangle?" Foxy asks.

"She is most likely in the south wing with her aunt, would you like to see her?" King Jordan questions. Foxy nods.

"Alright, Jordan, love would you go summon her for Foxy? I'll take him to the small ballroom." Queen Katherine says. King Jordan nods and walks towards the south wing.
