Chapter 1

“Listen up, petty excuse for a Captain! You cannot defeat me!”

Wood clashed with thick plastic, as cheap christmas-gift swords smashed together, wielded by two massive dorks.

“I’d like to see you back those words up.”

The Dread Pirate Kiki, scourge of the swimming pool, blocked a swing with her cutlass, and swept her legs forward at her opponent’s feet. Her foe stumbled back, nearly falling into a bush. The feared captain raised her blade, pointed at the shorter girl’s neck. “Surrender.”

Commodore Mymy gulped. She’d found herself in quite a predicament, yet she glared into her nemesis’s eyes, still defiant in the face of such insurmountable odds. “Or what?” She forced a smile, not letting any of her fears bubble to the surface.

Kiki stared forward at her for a few seconds. “Uhh…” She hadn’t thought this far ahead, and her eyes darted around for a few moments as she thought up a suitable response. “I’ll take your hat?”

Mymy impulsively shot her hand up, grasping onto her cheap replica navy hat. She yelped out “Never!” And leapt forward abruptly, wildly swinging her wooden sword around. She saw red for a few seconds, but was then quickly yanked back into reality by a loud cry. Opening her eyes, she glanced down to see her opponent sitting on the ground, covering her mouth with her hand. A drop of blood dripped between her index and middle finger. Mymy raised an eyebrow. “Gonna surrender..?”

Kiki just stared up at her, some pained tears welling up. She moved her hand away, revealing her split bottom lip. “Ow…”

This pathetic display left a sour taste that definitely wasn’t guilt in Mymy’s mouth. She took a step forward, looming over her wounded enemy, and pressed her sword against her busted lip, letting a little bit of blood drip onto it. Kiki immediately averted her gaze. “It appears I’ve beaten you, barbaric pirate! Do you have any idea what we do to lowlifes like you?!” She monologued, raising her sword to her mouth, and licking Kiki’s blood off. She continued to go on about Kiki’s apparent future of torture, but Kiki didn’t listen. Her brain completely short circuited at her friend’s whole blood-licking show. Was that an indirect kiss? She pondered to herself, momentarily, before interrupting Mymy’s speech, blurting out “Spare me, captain!”

Mymy stopped speaking, and gave Kiki a smug side-eye. “Oh? Speak, criminal.”

Kiki, now completely oblivious to the searing pain on her lip, put her hands together and gave Mymy her best puppy eyes. “Spare me, please..! I beg you, I’ll do anything!”

Mymy’s expression changed into a twisted grin. “Anything?”

Kiki happily did her friend’s homework for a fortnight afterward.
