I blame this story's existence on The Red Harlequin On The Luna and her random ideas.

I don't get why we have to put disclaimers when this is a fanfiction page and what he say in them is part of the concept of fanfiction. So no, not mine and I'm not making any money.

As always, beta-read by Dearshul :)

The Captain's Look

"Do we really have to do this?" Marco asked, exasperation evident in his usually calm voice.

His captain laughed.

"Of course! I'd always wanted to do this!"

Marco sighed.

"Can you still see the island?"

"You've got better eyesight than me, why don't you check for yourself?" Newgate asked, laughing again.

"... I think I'd die of embarrassment if I saw a bunch of villagers staring at us." The younger pirate admitted, head still turned and eyes firmly closed.

His captain laughed once more.

"Well, I haven't seen the island for a while now."

Marco jumped in the air.

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

There was another bout of laughter.

"I'd always wanted to sail with a parrot on my shoulder."

A small, deceivingly powerful bird's leg kicked him in the face as the bird previously standing on his shoulder descended, transforming back into a younger, considerably more annoyed, blond man.

"I'm not a parrot, dammit!"

Marco felt really glad they still had no crew to witness these things.

I'm not sorry, I had fun writing this.

Leave me a review? :)
