The Pirate and The Mermaid

15: The BTT

Finally, they have arrived. The Bad Touch Trio, (BTT) ze awesome! Albino, the wine lovin' frog, and the tomato bastard. 😆
"Did jue say Awesome?"
"Did your say wine madame? I know you said wine, oui?" (Oui, French for Yes, madame: my lady)
"Dijiste tomates chica?" (spanish for, did you say tomato's?)
"Hey, I didn't write you guys in the story yet, now get back on the ship."
"Si." "Oui oui." "Fein, but I better get an awesome intro."

Luna's POV:

This night was amazing. "Did your know your brother could sing, Peter?" "Who cares, he danced." "You're right, he did." He danced with me. Just one more night alone with him, and true loves kiss will come out of the sea.

🧜🏻‍♀️down in a wrecked up pirate ship🧜🏻‍♀️

Third person point of view:

Sure there was joy and happiness up on that ship. But underwater, not so much.
"HOW!" Books on the floor, bottles with liquid and powder on the floor, it was a mess. "That storm needed more winddust, no it needed lightning, and lots of it. And even with no wind, they found ways to pass the time." Victoria's plans weren't going as planned, "She's got a week and a half left, there must be a way to . . . Wait . . . What did he say?" With a few drops of liquid and powder into the bowl in the center of the room, and mixing it. She saw a vision of a few days ago.
"We won't get to our destination without wind. At this point, those three are either catching up to us, or are ahead of us, I'm the most fearsome pirate of the seven seas. If anyone—especially those three—hears about this, my reputation will sink."
"Those three, who are . . . . Wait," looking through some of her magical maps that show you the world in 3D—weather they're paper or in books—she found the one with her answer. "There they are. I gotta get my best shark, cause we're going for a swim."

They're two days behind The Jolly Roger, but who—besides the ships captain—really cares. Three ships: El Tomate Rojo (the red tomato), La Belle Rose (the beautiful rose), and Anija Mbresëlënëse (that's albanian for, the awesome ship). Each with its own captain: Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, Francis Bonnefoy, and Gilbert, the Awesome, Beilschmidt.
A trio of friends who sail the seas together, shearing the treasure they find. Sometimes. While Arthur is the most fearsome Pirate of the seven seas, they are the most fearsome trio of the seven seas. The Bad Touch Trio, BTT for short.

On La Belle Rose:

"Are you sure we're going the right way, Antonio, we are going the right way oui?" "Amigo, all we have to do is go straight." "Vell going straight is not awesome, und no vind for two days is unawesomeer." "Tweet tweet." "Seeee, even birdy agrees vith me."
Knock knock.
"Come in." There was a boy at the door, with long lighter blonde hair—just to his chin—a long curl, these sweet purple eyes that make him look so innocent, and glasses. He looks like he could be Alfreds brother. "Oui Matthew?"
"Lunch is ready papa." He had a quiet sweet voice, unlike Alfred, with a loud voice always filled with joy. "Oh ok, we'll be right over." "Finally, my awesome mind can't think vithout food." "I better get back on my ship before Lovi starts yelling and Feli starts crying over the last plate of pasta. We'll all meet back here, si?"
"Jah."
"Oui."

Lunch on El Tomate Rojo:

"Where have you been tomato basted? your food is getting cold." "Awww, Lovino, you do care." "No I don't! I just . . I-I . . Oh just shut up! and eat lunch." "Fratello, I think you're turning—"
"DO NOT, make me throw this pasta at you." Lunch and dinner is always fun and loud on Antonios ship; it's so loud you can hear it from the top deck on all three ships.

Lunch on Anija Mbresëlënëse:

"Bruder, hand me anozer bottle of Warsteiner." "Alright, but zis is ze last vun." Ludwig thought his brother would pass out after saying that. It's happened over a dozen times when they've run out of beer. But luckily there's two other beers—four boxes of each—on the ship. "Fein, but open ze box vith Radeberger ven it's dinner time. Ve'll save ze boxes vith Pilsner for ze party, once ve've got ze treasure."

Lunch on La Belle Rose:

"So papa, do you think Arthur is ahead of us?" "Oh don't worry about black sheep of Europe, it's three ships against one. And besides, with not so much wind, he's probably so bored that he's drunk. Well, I'll be up at the front of the ship if you need me." "Oh, okay." If Francis had any reason to want The Heart of the Ocean, it would be to get revenge on that black sheep for what happened to his loved one. Jehanne la Pucelle, or Joan the Maid. Or as they knew her in France, England, and I imagine all of Eastern Europe. Joan of Arc. Though she was a peasant—and a maid at first—she was still a heroine, Francis had her carved onto the figure head in a soldiers uniform, with a sword in her hands, and also painted.
"Don't worry mon amour, we will find that jewel."

🧜🏻‍♀️a few hours later on back on La Belle Rose🧜🏻‍♀️

"Vell lunch is over, vhat's ze plan?" "Oh boy, I think I've had too many tomatos amigos." "Toni, with you, you can never have too many tomatoes," Francis said. "Mmmm, eso es verdad."
Knock knock.
"Come In." "Um, Francis, I zink zat came from ze back door." (Ya, the frog has a little balcony at the back of his studies)
"Now what homme fou would knock at . . ." He opened the door, and had no response for this. "Francis, amigo?" "Vhat's at—"
"You need to see this." As the other two came closer, they had better view of what was on the edge of the balcony. "You boys see this too, oui?"
"Vhy is there—"
"Una sirena."

"Yeah, yeah, I know what you boys are thinking. A mermaid? What's and/or why's a mermaid on the balcony? But let's cut to the chase. You boys want to get to the treasure before Arthur does, right?" All they could do was nod their heads up and down. "Well, I can help you get there faster. You just need to do something for me."

I think I've got Prussia's accent in English ok. Well now first, translation: Una sirena—Spanish for, a mermaid, eso es verdad—that is true, also in Spanish. Homme fou—French for, a mad man. Second: Joan of Arc. The other two had to do with lunch and food, I figured Francis could use something better, more romantic. That's the only thing I could think of. And we could use some other love besides Luna and Arthur. And last but not least, German Beer🍺 Warsteiner: a light and east-to-drink beer. Radeberger: a clean and refreshing beer that goes good with any meal. Pilsner: a beer with about a 4.0–5.2% of alcohol, light colored, and with a high pressure and carbonation. "Kesesesesese, Ze awesome Prussia can handle zis beer." "Zhat's not vhat ju said at ze last sparkle party."
"Oh shut up vest."
