Silver was right about that hangover, as soon as I woke up, it hit me like a truck. 'Damn it, why was I such an idiot?' I chuckled a bit 'I guess it runs in the family' I heard a thunk from next to me, causing my head to ache.

I groaned in pain and sat up, opening my eyes, I looked over to Jim, his hair was a mess and he looked like he just woke up as he lazily put one of his boots on. I got out of my hammock and gripped my head in pain as I shoved my feet in my boots.

Downing the glass of water I watched as one of Jim's boots hopped away from him. I choked on the water in my mouth as I widened my eyes and rubbed them, thinking I still must be drunk or on some kind of drugs.

"Morph?"

I watched Jim rub his face as he sighed in annoyance, making his way over to the chest, tucking his shirt into his pants lazily. I sighed, in relief as I wasn't on any drugs, it was just Morph being Morph. Putting the glass down I got up and walked near the stairs, watching the scene unfold, as he now leaned down next to the chest, Morph hopped out on the other side of it.

"Morph, knock it off. It's too early for this."

Morph ended up kicking Jim in the butt causing me to laugh as Jim yelled while sitting up and turning around to Morph"Ow! Hey, Morph!" My head throbbed from the yelling causing me to grab my head in pain as Morph stuck his tongue out at Jim and turned back into his pink blobby self.

"Ow! Damn it! Stop yelling!" I glared at him, Morph laughed at Jim as he turned to look at me"Whats your problem?" My head continued to throb as I clenched my teeth"This stupid hangover wont go away"

"Well ya, it doesn't just...wait. Since when do you drink?"

I widened my eyes a bit as he narrowed his at me. "Well...ya see..." I looked off to the side trying to find something to get me away from the conversation, when I noticed Morph grabbing Jim's boot, flying off with it. I chuckled a bit"Morph's got your boot"

He widened his eyes and ran after him"Hey, come back here!"

"Come back here!"

Jim pointed a finger back at me"Were talking about this later (L/n)!" I chuckled as he ran up the steps after Morph. I followed after them as I watched Jim jump catching his boot"Gotcha!"

I laughed a bit and shook my head as Jim rested his head on his arm sighing, only for Morph to turn into a blowfish and spray water in Jim's face causing me to burst out laughing.

I shook my head and Made my way over to the stairs "That's it, you little squid" Jim went to grab Morph only for him to go under the grate, turning into Jim's head, popping up then back down as Jim tried to hit him like wack-a-mole. I sat on the steps as I cracked up "You little squid. You little squid. You little squid. Squid. Squid. Squid squid." Jim looked through the grate then over to my laughing form.

"Is that the alcohol talking? Because you never laugh this much" I laughed some more as I shook my head gripping it in pain"Ow! Ow!" I continued to laugh as he started laughing with me"What is so funny?" Tears started falling from my eyes"I don't know" I said out of breath as I tried to calm my laughter but I couldn't.

Jim's laughter was just causing me to laugh more, as we now were both a laughing breathless mess. "C-come on, let's find*wheeze* Morph" Jim struggles to talk as he laughed, the two of us got up as we walked down the steps, Jim hopping down the steps as he put on his boot.

We both calmed down a bit from before, we looked around when Jim nudged me pointing to the purps bin. Quietly making our way over, we leaned over to look inside, only to see a purp move, revealing a pair of eyes "Ha! Busted!" Jim yelled as he dove inside the barrel, I chuckled and shook my head.

Jim moves around in the Barrel trying to catch Morph as I heard voices and looked towards the stairs "Look, What we're saying is" I widened my eyes as shadows could be seen, so I quickly dove in the barrel landing on Jim's lap.

"Hey! What the.."

"Ssh!"

I was quick to throw my hand on his mouth as I listened to their conversation"We're sick of all this waiting." I took my hand off Jim's mouth as we looked through the little hole in the barrel.

"There's only three of them left"

"We are wanting to move"

A mechanical arm suddenly came into view"We don't move till we got the treasure in hand" Silvers voice rang, as his body was now in view, I felt my heart clench. Scroop was now in view as he said"I say we kill'em all now" Silver was quick to grab Scroop's face, bringing him down to look at Silver eye to eye.

"I say what's to say!"

Silver shook him, he then grabbed Scroop's throat, holding him up in the air "Disobey my orders again, like that stunt you pulled with Mr.Arrow, and so help me, you'll be joining him!" Scroop was thrown at the barrel we were in, causing it to shake as Morph flew out of Jim's hands.

I was quick to grab Morph as Jim wrapped one of his arms around me, pulling me close to him. "Strong talk, but I know otherwise." Scroop's claw, reached into the bin, just barely missing my face. "You got something to say, Scroop?" Jim was quick to reach down and grab a purp, holding it up to him, to make it seem like he grabbed it from the pile.

"It's those kids."

He held up the purp in his claw"Me thinks you have a soft spot for them" he poked his claw through the purp, making a hole. As the other crew members agreed with Scroop, Silver glared at him"Now, mark me, the lot of ya. I care about one thing, and one thing only!" Me and Jim watched as his robotic hand became a fist"Flints trove. You think I'd risk it all for the sake of some nose-wiping little whelp, and his bratty little girlfriend?"

I felt my heart shatter, the one time when I finally trust someone other than Jim. It all gets thrown back in my face, I felt sadness course through me. I felt Jim's grip around my waist tighten as Scroop talked"What was it now? 'Oh, you got the makings of greatness in ya.' Or ' your already a strong enough girl on your own' "

"Shut your yap!"

Silver glared over at Scroop "I cozied up to those kids to keep them off our scent. But I ain't gone soft." He pointed a mechanical finger at Scroop. I stared at my hands as I felt my sadness being replaced with anger. Jim held me tighter, placing his head on my shoulder."Land ho!" Someone yelled from above deck, causing the pirates to hurry up the steps.

'The only person I can trust is Jim... tho, I should've known that from the start.'
