My Merman

This Is An AU Where Simon Is A Pirate And Basilton Is A Merman. I've Been Wanting To Write This For Awhile, So I Hope I Do It Good.

--Me

*Simon's POV*

"So, Simon, where we going to today?" My first mate, and best friend, Penelope asks. She was one of the very first to join my crew. "You know, calling me captain every now and then wouldn't kill you." I tease and walk over her. Penny barks an order to the rest of the crew to start getting to work: Niall, Dev, Trixie, Micah, Ebb, and Lucy. We are a small crew, but we like it. All of us didn't have a home, no families, so we became a family together. It started out just Penelope, Ebb, and I, but over time we found others that were in the same case we were. We used to have another crew mate, Agatha, but we don't speak of her. She turned out to be a liar and jerk. So, yes, we are small, but we are also a family as well as a crew. Ebb is the cook, Penelope is first mate, and I am the captain, being the one who started the crew in the beginning. "That's never going to happen unless we are confronted by enemies. Other than that, you will remain Simon. So, where to?" Penelope states as she steers the wheel to avoid something in the water that I can't see. "I was thinking the island. We haven't been there in a few months." I respond, a nice feeling coming over me as I think of my island. Yes, my island. It's an extremely small, yet still inhabited, island that the government used to run. The people who lived there had no money, and therefore no food. Whatever money the villagers could come up with, the government took it all as 'taxes'. When we found this island, I may or may not have threatened all the government workers there to get rid of them. You see, I have stories passed around the world of me. How scary, terrifying, cruel, and horrible I am. I'm not really like that, but it's nice when a shop comes around and immediately hands over their valuables when they see me, it takes a lot of time out of our day to do it ourselves. The island, to thank me for saving them, keeps the stories spreading so no one tries to disbelieve them. "I was hoping you'd say that. I love the sea, truly, but I miss the island." Penny says with a far away look. I know exactly what she is thinking of: Micah. Micah and Penny met on our island, and apparently really hit it off since he joined our crew and married Penny a couple years ago. Actually, most of the crew is married to someone else aboard the Chosen One, my ship. Penny is with Micah, Dev and Niall are together, Ebb and Lucy, then Trixie has a girlfriend on our island: Tary. Tary was invited to join the crew, but she said that her home is at land and she couldn't leave. That's another reason I want to go back, I like my family and try to take care of them as best as possible, and since Trixie hasn't seen her girlfriend in almost 4 months, I figured she needed to see her again. "We are setting sail! Get to your posts!" Penelope yells to the crew with a wide grin. "We are going home!" She announces a few seconds later. I laugh as I hear the crew cheering as I walk back to my headquarters. I have my own space, but the rest of the crew isn't so lucky. There are two other sleeping quarters, which are filled with beds for the crew to share. Then there is a infirmary, which isn't much used for its purpose. Since most of the crew is dating, and that they have to share rooms with others, the couples like to have their alone time in the infirmary. I don't mind, if I had someone and didn't have space, I would have to find a way too. I walk into my headquarters and go to my desk. I know that once we come ashore, all the crew will most likely go rent hotel rooms and want to celebrate being on land again by going to pubs. I count a certain amount of money for each crew member, wanting them all to annoy their time on land. Before I know it, I'm falling asleep on my desk.

*Time Skip*

"Captain!" I wake with a startle. I look to see who the loud voice is coming from and see a blurry Micah at the door. "What is it?" I ask getting up. I immediately know something is wrong when I exit my headquarters and see everyone rushing around in a frantic frenzy. "It's him, Captain." Micah says before rushing over to Dev as he tries to pull out one of the cannons. Him. Now, as pirates, w have many enemies, but there is one that hates our guts. The feeling is mutual. He calls himself The Mage. He is captain of a different ship that tries to follow us around the sea to get us to surrender. We never do. We fight, they lose, and we leave. It happens every time. The problem is, one of our ex-crew members is one of them. Agatha. I see a ship come up next to us and see a tall man in green. "Well, hello Simon. Long time no see. Too bad, I've missed you." The Mage says in a mocking voice. I growl and yell back to him, "I can't say I feel the same." He barks a fake laugh and snaps his fingers. A round of bullets heads towards us and my crew and I fall to the ground. The firing stops nod I make sure everyone is okay. Micah got shot in the arm, but nothing serious, though Penny would say different. Luckily, Penelope is also our ships' nurse and starts to fix up Micah's bicep. I stand and glare at The Mage. It's one thing to taunt me, it's another when you injure my family. "That's enough! We are finishing this war once and for all." I tell both my crew and The Mage's. Everyone develops a mischievous smile and war breaks loose. I unsheathe my sword and grab one of the loose ropes to swing to The Mage's ships. My members follow my lead.
