First Mate: A Coinpin Story

Flowers and Frustration

PIN'S POV

"What are you guys doing?!" I screamed, a bit louder than what I meant. The two flinched.  "Well.. We wanted to make your walk a little more...romantic." Leafy admitted with a nervous laugh. Both Coiny and I blushed and yelled, "Why?!" at the same time. We looked at eachother after we jinxed but then immediately looked back at Ruby and Leafy. "Well, you two are so cute together and-"
Ruby was cut off by Coiny.
"You know what? Forget it, how about we just go back to the boat?"
I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, there's probably nothing important on this island." The two troublemakers gasped. "What? No!" Leafy protested. "Yes, Leafy, I don't feel like being on this island anymore, I'm hungry anyway." Coiny replied and started walking back. "You know what," Ruby spoke up, "I'm pretty hungry too, plus now I can give Flower this flower!" She pulled out a flower which looked just like our Flower. Then, she hopped out of the bush and ran after Coiny. Leafy awkwardly came out of the bush and followed the other two, then I followed too.

I glared at Leafy the whole walk back. What's with her and doing these stupid things? I really hope there was nothing good on this island we could've got. After Ruby and Coiny walked onto the boat, and before we could, I pulled Leafy to the side and decided to talk with her.
"What's up with you?" I ask her angrily.
"Huh?"
"First, you get Coiny sucked up into Yoyleland, then you knock over yoyle berries onto Snowball-"
"Those were both by accident!" Leafy interrupted.
"THEN, you climb up the mast and get killed." I continue.
Leafy looked at the floor and mumbled, "It was a dare."
"And then you and Ruby make an excuse to walk with us, only to stalk us and make our walk 'more romantic'?"
I take a breath before finishing, "Leafy, what the heck?!"

LEAFY'S POV

I look back up at Pin, whom was looking down at me angrily. I didn't really know what to say. "Pin, I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" She raises up a hand, stopping me mid sentence. "No, Leafy, maybe you didn't mean the first three, but you did mean the last one." She places her hands on her sides. "You need to watch what you do before you make everyone upset." I step closer to her. "You didn't even let me finish! I didn't mean to be such a nuisance, I swear! I was just having fun." I tell her. I should have chose a different way to say it though, because Pin gave me a disgusted look. "So, sending Coiny to Yoyleland is fun? Knocking over yoyle berries is fun? Getting killed by a fish by being stupid is fun?" Pin stepped closer to me with each sentence, her anger clearly rising as I step back. "What I'm hearing is that you think getting people upset is fun! We must have different perspectives on what fun is, then." She finally turned to walk away. "Wait, what?!" I reach out to her, "Pin, that's not what I meant!" She turned back to me. "Then what did you mean?!"

"I..." I was about to answer, but the shame started to set in. I didn't realize it but, I guess what Pin said was true. During all the events that she listed, someone got upset. "That's what I thought." Then, Needle poked her head over the side of the ship we were at, looking down at us and saying, "Hey, are you guys gonna come on the ship or...?" Pin sighed angrily in response. "Yeah, in a second." she told her. "Um, okay, but don't take too long, SB is starting to get irritated." Needle told us before disappearing. Pin looked back at me, her expression softening slightly. "Just get back onto the boat, and no more 'accidents' okay?" I nodded sadly and walked onto the boat with pin following behind. After we were on, I went down into the girls bedroom to lay down.
