The Pirate Prince Keeper of God's Pen [Playbook 1]

Part 9: Ruby Town

(The next morning)

(Sinbad goes on deck)

Rat: Good morning Captain.

Sinbad: Good morning Rat. What news do you have for me today?

Rat: We'll soon be arriving at Ruby Town to get some supplies.

Sinbad: Good. Oliver, go and get Odette. We might need her.

(Oliver groans)

Oliver: Fine.

(Oliver goes below deck to get Odette)

(Oliver goes back on deck carrying Odette on his shoulder)

Odette: Put me down! Now!

(Odette grunting)

Sinbad: Oliver! Put her down!

(Oliver puts her down hard)

Odette: Ow.

(Oliver laughs)

Sinbad: What is wrong with you Oliver?!

Oliver: Maybe you should ask her.

(Odette gets up)

Rat: Are you OK?

Odette: I'll be fine. Right now I'm concerned about Sinbad and Oliver.

Sinbad: Oliver you're way out of line. One more word--

Odette: Enough! Both of you. Don't you see what's happening? Fredrick is trying to destroy your friendship.

Sinbad: But why?

Odette: Cause he sees that Oliver is jealous. Jealous of you.

Sinbad: Of me? But why?

Odette: You better ask him. Come on Rat, we better leave them alone.

Rat: Alright.

(Rat and Odette leave)

Sinbad: Oliver, why are you jealous of me? Is it because I have magic or that I'm a prince.

Oliver: I'm not jealous because you're a prince or that you have magic. I'm jealous because you're in love with Odette.

Sinbad: Wait! What?! Who said I'm in love with Odette?

Oliver: Uh. . You were spying on her last night.

Sinbad: How did you know I was spying on Odette?

Oliver: I was working late.

Sinbad: Oh.

(Pause)

Sinbad: So wait you're jealous cause I'm. . . (whispers) in love with Odette?

Oliver: Yeah.

Sinbad: But why?

Oliver: Because I can't express my feelings to Autumn.

(Sinbad surprised)

Sinbad: Wait a minute. Hold the phone. You're in love with Autumn?!

Oliver: Yes.

Sinbad: Dude. Do you know how old she is?! 2020 years old.

Oliver: I don't care. Love sometimes doesn't judge on how old you are or what you are. It's only judged if you feel the same for each other.

Sinbad: Wow, that's deep.

Oliver: I know. I also know that Odette is in love with you.

Sinbad: What?! No way.
