Note: I'm starting to get attached to this little short, so I might make a book just about this but I'm not sure. I actually have to finish first! Also I don't think it really matters how I spell Lizzie. I might spell it with a y and not an ie but I don't think it really matters too much as long as I stay consistent. So I'll be spelling Lizzy with a y

11:00 pm

With Sparkles

"Scatter!" Sparkles yelled as he ran up north towards the wooded area. Not a lot of people lived in that area or could hide there no less! Most of the wooded area was now just a couple of trees! Shoot there's nowhere to hide thought Sparkles. As he was about to catch his breath he noticed a tree that fell over but didn't fall over all the way. It got stuck between another tree, so Sparkles ran up the half-fallen tree and started jumping branch to branch like a monkey. And granted he did see some monkeys eating bugs in some of the trees. It was a howler monkey to be specific, but it didn't matter since after awhile the soldiers started to shoot at him! Sadly the loud bang of the flintlocks scared away the animals... and woke up everyone within a hundred meter radius. Sparkles had nowhere else to run, he just had to accept his fait...

Dan and Lizzy

Dan picked up Lizzy and threw her over his shoulder before dodging the guards and running back into the party which was not getting back under control again. But as Dan stopped to look for a way out Laurens was only a few feet away from them, "Elizabeth?" Lizzy looked at her uncle but then Dan started to run towards the surprisingly un-guarded front entrance. Nope! Dan thought if that man knew her I'm not going to stick around long enough to get caught! Oh man what if she's his daughter? I just kidnapped a rich man daughter!
Lizzy just decided to stay quiet even though in her head she wanted to break free of Dan's grasp. But that could only lead to them getting caught so she didn't do a thing. However, Lizzy didn't understand what they did wrong since slavery wasn't a big thing in England. Overall Lizzy was terrified, being held by a man she barley knew, was wanted for a crime she didn't commit or know about and she was already separated from the one person she felt comfortable around... Stacy.

Stacy and Stampy

Stampy grabbed Stacy's hand and dashed towards the dock, Stampy knew he could swim but he didn't know if Stacy could swim which would end up being a real problem if she didn't. The dash to the dock wasn't far only a couple yards away, what scared Stampy besides Stacy not being able to swim was if they were found. What would happen? Would they be hanged or kept prisoner at Port Royal? Would they be made an example of? And what about Stacy? You would think they would have to let her go free since she's a woman. But unknown to Stampy if the Kingston court chooses Stacy could also end up with the same fait as other men caught. Since Stacy isn't rich and Laurens was a part of the court he could easily expose her. All these questions but no answers that followed.
When the two reached the dock Stacy actually took the lead and lead them under the wooden boards on stilts. And the British officers coming only seconds too late they ran upon the maze of wooden walkways. Stampy let go of Stacy's hand and sighed, "That was... intense..." He tried to catch his breath by leaning on one of the giant metal/wooden poles that kept everything from falling. Stacy who was sweating like mad could only nod in agreement.
The two spent the next few seconds trying to catch their breath and to Stampy surprise Stacy started taking her dress off. "Stacy what the hell?" He whispered as he covered his eyes. Stacy rolled her eyes and continued to take off her dress. After a few minutes Stampy moved one of his hands only to realize she was wearing some sailors clothing under her dress. Stacy rolled her eyes and asked, "Now what?" And to be honest Stampy didn't know what to do next, he couldn't go anywhere in the city because he would be too noticable. Until he remembered the ship wreck. Now there's two main parts of Kingston, the actual city and a prison along with a town across the bay. But if you walk down to the docks and keep walking along the beach to the each side you'll notice a little sliver of land that doesn't look like it leads anywhere. But if you walk through the sliver there's actually a small ship wreck where most criminals go to hide out. The wreck is conveniently located behind a giant rock making it easy to stay hidden behind the rock. And this was the only place the government didn't know about the wreck was one of those places. But instead of walking over and risk getting caught Stampy looked at Stacy and said with confidence, "Alright I'm going to start swimming I need you to follow me. I don't like to assume but I'm just hoping you know how to swim." And just like that he got into the water and started swimming towards the little almost completely blocked beach the wreck laid with Stacy following close behind.

Sparkles

All seemed lost, he was either going to be arrested or shot. But as Sparkles prayed his thought to be last prayer a woman and a man walked over to the British troops. "What are you idiots doing?" The man yelled, "It's almost midnight! You woke up my family!" And never has Sparkles been so happy to see an angry man and woman in his life. An officer tried to explain but the man wasn't having any of it and continued to yell to the officer and troops.
Sparkles given the chance to escape climbed down the tree and ran to the beach, if he couldn't out run them he would outswim them! But as he approached the beach he saw two figured move in the water, both heading towards the same direction. Should I follow it? He asked himself. But decided to ignore it when he noticed a big boulder and thought wow! That could hide me and a whole crew! No way am I passing this up! And as he approached he noticed a slim road of sand, he followed and it on the other side he saw a piece of a wrecked ship, and a little for pit for fires! He grabbed two rocks and eventually after ten strikes, started a fire. But then figures emerged from the water...

Dan and Lizzy

Dan had almost nowhere else to turn, there were British on every corner. He would have brought Lizzy home if he knew where her home was. Then decided to go towards the tavern we'll be safe in there Dan thought. Only before he could go in he saw two British soldiers walk out, and he hid in a bush. Lizzy who at this point was half asleep didn't really know what was going on anymore. But did she ever understand what was going on?
Dan was now officially frightened, he had no idea what to do! If he kept running around he would get tired leading to getting caught! He couldn't go home because that was all the way across the city! He couldn't go to Port Royal because of the prison, and because you need to row a canoe over there. Canoe! He thought. If I could get a canoe or a rowboat I could go to the wreck! Daniel you've done it again! Dan peeked his head out of the bush to see if the coast was clear, "No soldiers... good" Dan whispered. He held Lizzy tight and creeped towards the beach where he saw a conveniently placed rowboat on the sand.
Dan walked over to the little boat and pit Lizzy inside, then he started to push the little boat onto the water and jumped in. Jumping into a little boat and trying now to wake someone up is harder than it looks! So Dan picked up the paddles and started rowing towards the little ship wrecked beach.

Back at the ship wrecked beach

Sparkles jumped back as he saw two figures came out of the water and walked onto the beach. But it only turned out to be Stacy and Stampy. "You guys almost gave me a heart attack!" Sparkles yelped. Stampy and Stacy looked at each other before looking at the fire and when they noticed the fire the sat down right in front of it looking at it like a child seeing the stars for the first time.

Sparkles: Jeez what's into you guys?

Stacy: We swam for a good thirty meters give us a break

Stampy: And it's cold!

Sparkles: Not my fault you guess decided to swim!

Stacy: If it makes you feel better Stampy thought I was naked for like five minutes

Stampy: How was I supposed to know you had clothing underneath? Sparkles stop laughing!

Stacy: Hey you were the one that acted like a child

Stampy: I have innocence! Sparkles stop laughing! You're making me mad!

Stacy: Not to bud in on this 'conversation' but does anyone else see that row boat?

Dan: ahoy all!

Stampy: Dan!

Dan got out of the rowboat a few inches from the beach and dragged the rowboat onto land. Carefully picking up Lizzy and handled her like a sleeping child and placed her body down next to a box so she was leaning on something.

Stacy: welcome to the after party as you can see we have fire and a bunch of British idiot on our ass!

Sparkles: Stacy language!

Stampy: yeah ouch

Stacy: wait how do you know my... Oh right you were here this whole time

Sparkles: I know all your names

Dan: That's sort of creepy... What was your name again? Sparkles?

Stacy: can you guys just sit down already!

Stampy: looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the cake

Sparkles: what?

Dan: don't ask he loves cake

Stacy: of course you guys are so calm! You all probably know this city like the back of your hand! And I just got here a few hours ago, all this is happening in one day! Not my ideal way to be spending a first day in a new land you know. Being wanted for a crime I didn't commit and being lied to by Mr cake man over here!

Stampy: Hey!

Stacy: I'm just saying I didn't think today would've went like this...

12:00 am

At this point everyone gathered around the fire telling stories about their pasts and getting to know each other a little more. Eventually Lizzy woke up and joined in on the conversation.

Lizzy: So in the thirteen colonies you have to learn Dutch?

Stacy: no just New Jersey and Delaware

Sparkles: wasn't it a Dutch colony once?

Stacy: yeah once then the British took over.

Stampy: I guess it's a British thing

Lizzy: aren't you British?

Dan: we may sound British but that doesn't make us British. Stampy and I have been living in Kingston our whole lives.

Sparkles: that must be a boring life

Stampy: tell me about it

Dan: Hey!

Stacy: it can't be as bad as New Jersey. Everyone is poor and duels happen everywhere. It's a poor bloody mess!

Lizzy: that doesn't sound good...

Sparkles: so Lizzy what's your story?

Lizzy: my story?

Stampy: he means what life like in London?

Dan: is it like Kingston?

Lizzy: London is nothing like Kingston! Not that Kingston is a bad place it's just so different. I never saw a planation before until today, and slavery isn't much of a problem in London. I was just taught to do everything myself. But growing up rich was a problem for me, I was taught to be a noble woman from a young age but it never stuck with me. I guess what's why I was sent away, to a place where I could act like a normal person...

Sparkles: well... At least you're here now!

Dan: and at least now you don't have to deal with your uncle anymore

Lizzy: what's that supposed to mean?

Stampy: we'll you're friends with us! And to us friends are family, we don't care how you are supposed to act just be yourself and people will love you for you

Stacy: try saying that to a rich Englishmen.

Stampy: actually Stacy I've been meaning to ask you keep giving us little snips of your childhood but never actually told your story

Stacy: there's nothing else to say about me, I grew up as a poor colonist

Lizzy: oh come on there has to be more than that!

Dan: I agree with Stampy you aren't telling us something

Sparkles: if she doesn't want to she doesn't have to say anything

Stacy: guys we have bigger problems to worry about than my past! We're criminals, we need a plan to get out of here!

Dan: not back to that again...

Stampy: Stacy is right though, how are we going to leave the island in one piece? If we even leave together

Sparkles: well my friends I believe I have a solution to our problem. I've been saving money to buy a boat, only problem is I only have enough to afford a gunboat-

Stacy: a gunboat? Seriously? Gunboats are like the weakest thing ever!

Sparkles: I wasn't finished... But if we combine whatever money we have I could possibly buy a schooner for a decent price.

Stacy: you heard the man! Empty your pockets!

Dan: I have a thousand R from my performance earlier

Stampy: I have a few coins

Lizzy: I have about a thousand pound... Wait what are R?

Dan: Spanish Real I think it's called...

Stacy: and I'm broke.

Sparkles: with this money... I might be able to buy a schooner if the owner is willing to knock off a few cents... I'll see what I can do in the morning

Stacy: then I'll go with you, I can probably 'convince' said owner to knock off a few pounds... If he wants to keep his teeth

Lizzy: no head bashing!

Sparkles: yeah I don't want anyone getting hurt...

Stacy: I was kidding! Jesus can't take a joke?

Stampy: well... We are tired Stacy

Dan: after a whole day of madness...

Sparkles: let's get some sleep gang... We have a long day ahead of us...

1:30 am

Everyone is finally asleep, after a long day of chaos and planning along with more planning only ended up bringing these people together... Mostly everyone had their own little section to sleep in but Stampy kept invading Stacy's personal space. And Stacy learned one more thing about Stampy before falling asleep... He really likes to cuddle.

To be continued...
