Part one of the Amelia saga "Out to Ether":
After a long week of packing and preparing for their journey to Treasure Planet, (a wild witch hunt for pirate's treasure) Dr. Doppler and Jim Hawkins would've never exspected what was awaiting them on the R.L.S Legacy...
A tall, feline "femme fetale" as they say lands firmly on the deck in front of you with a thud. Her hands are clasped behind her back and she appears to be a strict bussiness woman.
"I'm Captain Amelia, late of a few run ins with the Procyon Armada, nasty business but I won't bore you with ma scars. You've met ma first officer, Mr. Arrow: sterling, tough, dependable, honest, brave and true."
She indicates the gigantic stoney man beside her who curtseys like an embaressed little girl and plays the part well.
"Please Captain" He says as he turns a dark shade of crimson.
"Oh Shut up Arrow, you know I didn't mean a word of it."
Dr. Doppler catches her eye wearing an old space suit that they recalled when Amelia was still a cadet in the academy. Jokingly, she taunts the poor doctor and leaves his head spinning. He introduces Jim:bad mistake. "Hands" a 3'4'' pirate growls at them and exits stage left. oh no, go back!! I meant stage right..I SAID STAGE RIGHT! Meanwhile, Amelia hushes the doctor before he has time to say something foolish. Like, what's new?
"Doctor please! I'd like a word with you in my stateroom." *All eyebrows raise. Arrow and Jim stand in shock*
"Well, what are you standing there for?" Arrow winks at her and she rolls her eyes. "Come along gents!" They follow suit, though rather reluctantly.
Amelia starts her stoic, no-nonsence self as she tells the good doctor the what's what. "Doctor, to mule and blabber about a treasure map in front of this particular crew demonstrates a level of ineptitude that borders on the imbecilic, and I mean that in..." She finally catches the smell of her tuna sandwich and warm milk from down in the galley and starts to drool a little. "a...very...caring...way." She puts her hands back behind her back and imediately straitens "A-hem!A very caring way indeed."
Doctor Doppler looks furious in his own adorable little way. Amelia smiled to herself
"May I see the map please?"
After much debate, Jim tosses her the map. Amelia looks at it as a new toy and stared at it a little too curiously
"Mmm, fascinating." She mumbles under her breath. "Very, facinating."
Amelia puts it in her guncase so she can toy with it when she had her back turned to them
"Mr. Hawkins, in the future, you will address me as Captain or Ma'am, is that clear?"
He doesn't answer but just rolls his eyes and gives her a death stare. He goes back to his other face as she turns back to him with a big smile in her face..maybe too big
"Mr. Hawkins?" She maneged to say without burting into a spout of laughter
He replys with a sigh
"That'll do." Amelia says gathering herself again
"Gentlemen this must be kept under lock and key when not in use. And Doctor, again, with the greatest possible respect," Amelia got in his face with a seductive flare and glides her paw along his cheek "zip your howling screamer!" She says as she eyes him carefully, imagining the possibilities that come with removing him from the contraption he considered approprete and suitable for space travel. She straitens herself and sits as he trys to defend himself, but unfortunatly he has no idea whom he was dealing with (eventhough he is blushing and surpresses a slight bemused smile.)
"Let me make this as monosyllabic as possible: I don't much care for this crew YOU hired. They are..." She looks up at her first mate somewhat inocently "how'd I describe them, Arrow? I said something rather good this morning before coffee."
"A ludicrous parcel of driveling galoots, ma'am." He replys with a laugh.
"There you go, poetry." She says with a clever smile, fighting back the urge to pounce the poor doctor...He is so cute when he's angry.
"Doctor, I'd love to chat, tea, cake the whole shebang," She imagines all this for a moment with delight on her face as music from a traditional tea party is playing in the background. She thinks to herself "I haven't had a real person to have a tea party with since Arrow and I were children." A sly look casts across her face for a brief moment and she bounces back to reality. "but I have a ship to launch and" Glides a razor sharp claw along his outfit and then winks at the doctor. "you've got your outfit to buff up." She goes back to her "normal self". "Mr. Arrow, please escort this neophyte down to the galley straight away. Young Hawkins will be working for our cook, Mr. Silver."
Jim turns at the sound of his name dropping the VERY expensive vase he is admiring and the doctor starts for the door being perfectly insulted by what the captain had said. Just as he is moments away from the door, Amelia gracfully yet desperately walks in front of him with a click of her heels.
"Doctor where are you going? I hardly meant for you to leave I'm afraid...please stay and allow me to get to know you better."
He just stared at her as if she were crazy. She fought her instincts, but she couldn't help but shoot him a hopefull, sexy smile.
The doctor started bumbling as the captain take a step forward.. atempting to fill the gap between them
"Er......ummm...Captain?....a-are you feeling...A-hem alright?" Delbert backs up slowly and she follows close behind.
"Please stay, doctor...please." She puts extra emphasis on the word "please" while thinking.."I'm so lonely, I'll do anything to keep you here.....and if you don't, I'll be forced to scratch your eyes out!!"
Jim and Arrow are standing at the door with their jaws hitting the floor.
Delbert is backed completely against her stateroom door like a littel frightened boy with his hands over his eyes. He looks carefully through his fingers but he only finds Amelia looking more and more turned on than ever
He screams aloud. "AHHHHHH!"
Arrow and Jim stand by for a second and rush out at the sound of screeching metal. Jim runs out first with Arrow close behind.
"Man I guess those long, lonely trips really do stuff to you." Jim says with raised brows.
"I didn't know woman in the military got like that!"
"Yes," Arrow pauses realizing it's completely true. "Well, young lad..I suggest we leave before the fur flies!"
And now for part two....*cheering* I know, it's been like F-O-R-E-V-E-R since I posted this little story thing, but I am adding to it now...heck yeah!
Part Two of "Out to Ether":
After practically being attacked by the captain, Dr. Doppler, was finally warming up to her.
"So Doctor, speaking of akward situations, what has dating life been like for you?" Delbert was surprised that a woman he just met is already asking him about his dating experiance.
"Well, let me tell you the truth, I got stood up quite a bit becuase of how I look, I've been used before so that they could pass their astronomy class, and I was already the laughing stock of my high school. There was a girl once, I met her at my senior prom, I know I looked ridiculous, but she was very kind to me. As an adult I didn't do much better, I was stood up all too many times, I stuttered until she just decided it wasn't worth it and left the resturant; I might have even spilled wine down a woman's blouse once, like I said, I'm a lost cuase when it comes to dating." Dr. Doppler hung up on his words soon ate them when he asked the Captain about her dating escapades. "Come now Doctor, a woman would never kiss and tell..." Amelia said as she found herself staring stright into Delbert's eyes. "and as a captain I must maintain my status of the leader by refrianing from the dating world." To be perfectly honest, Amelia captain of the stone-cold, no-nonsence stoic navel world, felt sad of all things for the notorious Captain Amelia to feel. Delbert was shocked that she would degrate and deny herself like that.
"Why would you do that to yourself? Don't you get tired of being lonely? I know I do." Amelia was puzzled by this man, one moment he's a bummbling fool and the next he is a helpful, kind, gentleman.
"Oh tish, tosh who needs to have a relationship anyway? The only thing I need to be thinking about is how I am going to get this ship to hell and back, that's what a captain of a navel devise such as this does..." Delbert frowned a little when she said that she neither wanted or needed a relationship. And before anyone could do or say anything, Arrow walked in to find them sitting down to a cup of tea; Earl Grey in Amelia's case, Dr. Doppler wasn't a total fan of tea, but he did enjoy a good cup of coffee.
"Captain, the ship is prepared for launch, I exspect to be seeing you up on deck momentarily."
Amelia was pleased that arrow knew her so well.
"Alright, well what do you say doctor, would you like to joins us on deck to observe the launch?"
"Would I? Does an overactive galactic nucleous have super-luminal jets?!" Delbert squeeled. And there was silence.
