I awoke in a cramped room, with no door only bars. Even the prisoner cells of The Aurora were grander than the fanciest rooms of The Doom Bringer. My head began to hurt, but I noticed that it had been wrapped in clean white bandages with care. Were these pirates for real? I was confused about The Aurora's kindness but I was strangely happy to be here. They never took prisoners on The Doom Bringer. I noticed I was hungry. I looked about me. It was dark, I couldn't see much. But I could smell. And I smelt food. I picked myself off the floor and looked around. I heard footsteps. The looming shape of a tall man came towards me. And he had food. For me. He took out a bunch of shiny keys and opened the cell door.
The man stepped inside and lay the plate of fruit next to me, "Eat," he said, bluntly in an educated voice.
Thankyou," I said, pulling the plate towards me. I wanted to know more about this man and why the crew were so fair to prisoners. So I asked the obvious question, "Who are you?"
The tall man straightened himself up a little, "I am the ship's assistant doctor, Felix Jupitus."
I nearly choked. I couldn't help it. Well, I couldn't help being common, anyway.
Felix's face tightened, "And may I enquire your name?"
I couldn't help it. I suppose it just slipped out, "My name is Robin. Robin Uranus." I couldn't breathe through laughter. Felix however, did not seem amused.
Course and vulgar." He said, snootily, before turning away. My laughter died down again. I tugged at my shackles. I hadn't noticed how tight they were. But now I was alone, I wish Felix hadn't gone. He was the one who saved me. But Felix came back. I was pulling and tugging away at my shackles. I wanted to go now. Somehow I had to get back home. I wouldn't mind if they laughed, or if my father called me a failure. I looked up to see Felix toying with the lock on the cell door, "Simple enough." He mused, brushing away the grime that the old lock left on his hand.
For some maybe." I grumbled. I couldn't break out of here. I'd probably get shot anyway... The next thing Felix did astonished me. He pulled out a piece of wire and picked at the lock. A click echoed in the cell and the barred door swung open. I gaped at him, "You could get into real trouble for that!" Was all I managed to say. Felix smiled and shrugged then pulled the door shut again, "Nobody saw." He said with a charming smile. Then he sighed, "A pirate who can't even open a lock as simple as that..." He turned and sat on a barrel. I think I liked Felix. He was a snob, but I liked him. Somehow.

Weeks passed and I remained a prisoner on The Aurora. Felix came to give me food, he told me that if he could tell the captain that I had stopped trying to get out, she would give the order for him to remove my shackles. So, a few days later, my shackles were removed and I was free to wander the prisoners deck. I took to watching the top deck via looking through cracks and spaces in the wood floor. I saw other crew members and the Captain. The captain was suprisingly young, she was a beautiful 18 year old with dark brown hair and steely grey eyes. From what Felix told me about her, which was alot, she was very powerful and intelligent for her age and she was what made The Aurora famous. I didn't talk to the other prisoners. There were few, but I didn't like them. Amoung them was Rosalie and Jazzy, two alien females who always gave me ice-cold stares when ever I wandered by. As I watched the crew members through the floor, I noticed how cool they were. They were tough cookies on raids, but to each other there was good feelings and no conflict. I had only ever spoken to Felix but I quite liked all of the crew. Especially her.

The first mate of The Aurora. Trissana. The day I first saw her, I knew she was special. She had wavy blue hair, about 15 and had amazingly brilliant emerald green eyes. I watched her pass over the deck through the floor boards. She seemed to sense me watching her, for she turned around and looked directly at me. My heart did an uncomfortable flopping motion in my chest and I nearly fell off the barrel I was standing on. She shook her head and walked away, towards the sail maker, who was examining a tear in a spare sail. I caught something she said to him which sounded alot like, "Prisoners oggling me again," before she tilted her head towards the crack I was looking out of. The sail maker followed her gaze and stared at me. I jumped down off the barrel and hid in a cell. I slumped down onto the floor, my heart ramming. What was wrong with me?

For many more weeks I would watch the comings and goings of crew members from my peep-hole in the floor. Whenever Trissana passed by, my heart would start an impressive display of gymnastics, flipping and somer-saulting inside of me. If Trissana noticed me again, she prentended not to. One time, shortly after a raid, Trissana came on deck, her hand bearing a nasty dagger-wound. Felix and the ship's doctor, Calwyn, came out to treat it. As Felix applied bandages gently to Trissana's hand, I saw something pass between them. They smiled at each other and shared the same look. Something flared inside of me. It...couldn't be...it was so unlike me! But it was there. Jealousy. When Felix came down the following afternoon, I couldn't speak to him. I just glared. Felix rose above it and left me in peace. I stared out of my window for hours, thinking, ignoring my food. This changed to a couple of days. I was ill. Felix came to try and test me for diseases but I growled at him and said a number of rude comments. He was fed-up and got Calwyn to treat me instead. I let her poke me and prod me until she found there was nothing physically wrong. She had a word with the captain and Saphira gave the order to let me live as a cabin boy. They all thought I was suffering of homesickness. But it was worse. I had fallen for love and hit the ground. Hard.

I helped out with raids as best as I could, I proved myself to be quite useful. Trissana was really nice, we even came to be friends. I didn't see Trissana and Felix together much and soon I was talking to Felix again. We hung out alot in the prisoners cell. There was a guardian named Paris who was captive there, he was red and scaly and very muscular. He had a big problem with drink. Okay, so I slipped him the odd bottle of rum every so often and drank with him, but whatever. He knew I liked Trissana. I don't know how, but he teased me alot about it. Of course, when Jazzy and Rosali heard about this they had a good laugh too. Trissana never found out, so I ignored them. Until Paris said something to me one night when we were drinking on the prisoner's deck.
Ah, grow a backbone, Robin! Tell her how you feel before that Felix gets in there." Felix was lying unconsious on the floor, a rum bottle in his hand. I made a descision, I was going to tell Trissana I loved her. But how? When?

Two days later, an enemy ship was spotted. I went to Saphira, "Orders, Captain?" I said, with my hand tensely wrapped around the hilt of my sword.
Saphira's teeth were gritted, "Get them to ready the cannons," she hissed, her steely eyes narrowing, "Don't stop firing at them 'til all are dead."
I hesitated before leaving. Saphira was usually a little more merciful than this.
She turned to me, "Well? GO! Tell them that man, the Captain, he killed my father."
I nodded my understanding and rushed below deck and relayed Saphira's orders. They shot at the ship. It came at us and enemy pirates boarded The Aurora. I came onto the deck with my sword. I saw Saphira duelling fiercly with a man in a captain's get-up. Then I saw Trissana. Stabbed, with her own blood staining her sarong. I staggered over to her, holding my sword limply. Then, a pirate punched me in the stomach. I groaned and clasped myself. Something warm trickled between my fingers. I had been stabbed. I fell to my knees....and then nothing.

I awoke in a hammock, fairly comfortable, but a pain was disturbing me. Then I remembered. I recognised my surroundings as the place where sick people went on The Aurora. There were a few people in the hammocks around me, but not to many casualties. None of them were who I was looking for. To my relief I saw Trissana in a hammock opposite me, talking to Lief, a crew member. Lief finished the conversation and left the room. Trissana and I were the only consious ones here. She smiled sweetly at me, I could tell she was in a little pain.
How are you feeling?" We both asked each other at the same time.
I blushed but Trissana grinned. "I'm fine, I only got a flesh wound. How are you?"
I grinned back. My stomach hurt so much. "I'm fine," I lied, "Did--did we win?"
Trissana's smile grew broader, "You bet!"
I smiled back. Trissana shuffled in her hammock then winced. I couldn't help but gasp, "Triss, are you sure you're okay? Do you want some water. No wait! I'll fetch Calwyn--"
Trissana laughed, "I'm fine, Robin, honestly," her smile was sweet and her eyes were bright and soft.
I love you," I sighed. Whoops. I was actually just supposed to think that. Argh! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stu--
Trissana was looking at me as if I'd just told her I was a woman named Peggy-Sue. Or something like that, "I--I can't love you, Robin," she said, bluntly, still a little stunned, "I'm sorry." She looked away. Ouch. And I mean ouch. I really loved her so much, I fooled myself into thinking that she must like me back. Wrong. My heart, which before had been performing it's gymnastic display, had just fallen in mid-leap, and was now lying, unmoving, on the floor of my chest in a crumpled heap. I couldn't stand being in here with her. Just to be staring at the person I had lost. I got up, my stomach pain seemed to be weirdly numb, and walked out of the room. My feet walked automatically for me, so my brain didn't have to work to hard, down into the prisoner's deck. Jazzy saw me and said something, but I wasn't listening. I slumped down beside Paris, who had a lot of empty bottles around him, but even more untouched ones. Felix was lolling next to him, giving the odd hiccup. Felix. Trissana probably loved him. Not me. Never me. I didn't even want to say something to him about it. I was so down, I couldn't move much. Paris noticed me and shook a fresh bottle of rum under my nose. I took it and emptied it. And another. And another. I don't know where it all went, I was knocking them back so fast. Felix, and even Paris were staring at me in awe. As I drank more, Felix looked sceptical whereas Paris looked as though he was about to break into applause. When I finally crawled out of the prisoner's deck, accompanied by Paris (who knows how we got past the guards), all troubles were forgotten, along with most other things. I think we were singing...very loudly at that. In fact I can even remember the song! It was 'Your Song' and from what the crew told me, I was doing quite well. Apparently I was singing the chorus at full blast when Saphira and Trissana came out to see what the racket was about. Then, I started sining it to her...You get the picture.

The next day, we landed on Earth. I was pretty glad to be back, but had an unsure feeling. We weren't back home. We were in the middle of a desert, searching for ancient Aztec treasure. We were ambushed. Nobody saw our attackers, they were invisible. They took me, but left everyone else. I woke up inside a cabin underground.

You're going to lead me to the treasure," came a harsh female voice. A figure stepped out of the shadows. I recognised her at once. It was Jenny Kidd, the pirate who had first spoken to me when she asked me to join the Doom Bringer.
I don't know what you are talking about," I lied. I knew where the treasure was, I even intended to lead the Aurora there. But I wasn't going to let her know that.
Oh, I think you do," smiled Jenny wickedly. Her eyes now were deep purple and shaped like snakes eyes. She pulled something from her belt. It was a doll. She held it infront of my face. I couldn't move, because those invisible things grabbed me as soon as I came to. I saw it closer. The doll wasn't just any doll. It looked just like me. Jenny moved forward and placed her index finger on my chest. It burnt for a moment but when she pulled away, there was a copper plate on my chest, "The finishing touch, so you and the doll stay tied forever," she grinned her evil grin. And put the voodoo doll away, "Come! Show me the way to the temple...I wan't that treasure soon!"

I did go to the temple, leading her deep into a jungle, but when we got there the treasure was gone. Jenny screamed her lungs out in anger and her eyes turned blood red. From no-where came the crew of the Aurora. They battled Jenny's weird invisible creatures. I felt someone yank at my coat and pull me out of the battle.
Get back here, Robin!" screeched Jenny, waving my doll violently above her head, "I want to watch you die!" as she shook the doll, my legs turned to jelly, but a voice I knew and loved kept me running.
Keep going, Robin! We need to get away from her!" The person let go of my coat and I realised I was running by Trissana.
You came back for me, then?" I puffed, struggling to keep up with her.
Sure," she grinned, "What would the Aurora do without you?" We kept running. We heard angry shouts behind us, "Jenny's catching up!" said Trissana, running faster. I realised we were running out of ground. The world fell away into a waterfall. We swerved and ran to lower ground, but Jenny was right behind us.
I love you, Robin! Do you trust me?" panted Trissana, grabbing my hand. I could only nod numbly as we threw ourselves over the edge of the waterfall...

My head broke the surface of the water, I gasped and hauled my self onto the shore. Trissana was there, ringing out her skirt. A scream from above caught our attention.
You'll not get away from me!" we held our breaths as Jenny prepared to launch the doll into the furious waterfall. Felix appeared from no-where and stuck his sword into Jenny. She fell to the ground, unmoving. But it was too late. Felix grabbed at the doll but his hands grasped thin air as the doll tumbled away...I gasped and fell back onto the floor. Rocks slicing my body...water in my mind, my ears, my lungs..."NO!" I couldn't tell whether it was Felix or Trissana but they were both standing over me. I felt warm sweet lips press against mine. I just hope they were Trissana's. I felt tears sting my face. I just couldn't breathe. It faded into black for one last time...

And I woke up. I looked around, half expecting to be in some sort of heaven, half expecting to be in the hospital wing of the Aurora, with Felix and Trissana grinning over me. I was so far from both of those places. I was on the shore, the sea lapping at my toes. I tried to stand up, but I fell over, my legs felt out of proportion. I looked at my reflection in the water. Two golden brown eyes looked back at me, amongst a furry maroon face. I don't think I've screamed louder in my whole life.

What's this?" asked Trissana, fishing something out of the water. Felix, standing with the other crew members around a mound of upturned earth looked up and walked towards his friend.
I don't know...It looks like a doll," he said, taking the strange stuffed animal gently out of Trissana's hands.
Trissana smiled sadly, "Isn't he cute?" she mused, "It sort of reminds me of Robin..." The two crew members exchanged glances.
