Adventures in Muppet Treasure Island

chapter 12

Cherry walked down and past Gonzo and Rizzo.

"It just feels so weird." Gonzo said.

"You mean that Mr. Arrow's dead?" Rizzo asked.

"Yeah," Gonzo answered. "That and my pants are filled with starfish."

"You and your hobbies!" Rizzo rolled his eyes.

"Hey," Jim was right behind Cherry, but she didn't notice him and screamed out, panickally. "Whoa, you worry too much."

"I do not!" Cherry hissed and shut her eyes. "I just... Get too surprised easily..." She playfully hit Jim on the shoulder and went along. She then overheard some talking between Clueless Morgan and a guy named Monty. Cherry decided not to listen all the way through, whenever she got involved in something she was innocent of she was always getting into trouble.

"Helmsmen!" Smollet called out sometime later after Cherry met up with her group of friends. "Get into the longboats."

"C-C-Captain, I need to tell you something important!" Cherry rushed to him, remembering a secret that had to be told.

"Sort of busy right now, Cherry." Smollet told her.

"Jim and I heard about a mutiny involving Long John Silver! He has the t-t-treasure map!"

"Mr. Silver?" Smollet got concerned.

"Aye, aye, captain!" He called.

"Mr. Silver, I want you to take the crew to shore at once; we need water and provisions, so take as long as you want!"

Cherry gasped as everyone else cheered. "Sir! To a task to my liking, sir that is!" Silver called back.

Cherry shrugged her shoulders and rushed to Peach and Jim. Cherry then noticed a crutch on the floor and looked around.

"Jim, lad!" Silver called. "Cherry, there's only room in the boat for some more! Come in for an adventure!" Silver offered.

"W-W-We c-c-can't!" Cherry stammered as her blood froze with fear.

"The captain wants us," Jim told him.

"Oh, what a shame! I'll miss you all. That I will! Um, Jim, I seem to have left my crutch on board. Hand it to me like a good lad, will you?"

Jim bent down and held the crutch as far from his body as he could.

"You have to be a bit closer than that," Silver chuckled. "I can't reach it from here!"

"Here, let me help you." Cherry said as she grabbed Jim from behind to make sure he wouldn't fall into the water. Silver grabbed his crutch and pulled Jim and Cherry in with him into the boat. "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" Cherry's teeth chattered as she was far from safety and now with a criminal. "PEACH!" Cherry cried.

"MATE!" Peach cried back.

"Peeeeaaaach!" Cherry cried as the boat went off away and she was held prisoner by rowdy pirates that restrained her down with Jim.
