Chapter 3. First Day

"Behind you."

"What-"
Ruin turns around to K.C., a tall figure with messy hair, along with a bit of scarring along his arms.

"Rawr!"

"... K.C. teach the town boy the ropes-"

Monty facepalms.
"I should've guessed-"

Ruin lets out a soft chuckle, finding a way to stay out of the sun for more time by dropping his responsibilities onto a crew member.

"Yes Captain!"
K.C. salutes and drags Solar back up the steps.

"You look like you haven't seen the sun in years."

"It's only been a day..."

Monty sighs.
"Are you ever gonna take this seriously?"

"... Eh..."

"Captain."

"I was taking this seriously! I was trying to figure out a route..."

"We are on the run, don't tell me you're trying to find treasure."

"We're pirates!"

"We need to keep moving."

"Fine..."

"You're steering the ship today."

"whAt- No fair."

Solar's perspective:

Solar gets dragged up the steps by the three feet too tall person, back onto upper deck.

"Whats your name town boy?"

"Uh- Solar?"

K.C. lets go of Solar, standing across from him.

"Names K.C.!"

"... The letters?"

"Yeah- that's what everyone calls me."

"... W-What-?"

"It stands for something else, though I don't even know how to pronounce it so- It's just K.C.."

"O-Ok-"

"Anyways, Captain has three rules-"

"Ruin?"

"Yeah- Captain- they let you call them by name?"

"... I guess- can you guys not-?"

"No- Monty and Captain have known each for years- and they don't even let Monty call them by their name-"

... Just me then-?

Does that mean something-?

Maybe I'm just overthinking it-

"O-Oh- um- cool- um- What are the rules-?"

"Oh yeah- Rule one, don't steal, rule two, Don't lie for your own benefit, and rule three, don't fight amongst the crew."

"That's it?"

"Yeah pretty much."

That seems like an oddly short list-

"O-Ok- I can do that-"

"Also, this one's not really a rule- though don't peer into others lifes, unless they tell you themselves, keep yourself out of it."

"That seems fair... Um- anything else I need to know?"

"Well, not really- If Captain says to do something, do it, and if you're ever in trouble, stay silent."

Solar gives K.C. a nod.

"Why are you so tall-?"

"Genetics-? I don't know-"

"Uh- is- Lunar- actually an adult-?"

"Shockingly yeah-"

"You should give them some of your height."

"Would if I could. Anyways, you where cleaning the deck right?"

"Yeah-?"

"Go back to doing that."

"ok-"

Solar watches as K.C. walks down to lower deck once again.

...

Ruin looked so- everything- Their definitely less threatening when tired-

... I want... Them to kiss me...

I want a pirate to kiss me-

Wait-

I'M A PIRATE-

AAAAAH-

THIS HAS BEEN MY DREAM SINCE I WAS LIKE- TWO!

That and to get a boyfriend- but that was since I was like- thirteen...

Thats a eleven year difference-

Solar walks over to the bucket and mop again, and starts cleaning up the wooden deck once again.

Why is the wood so red-?

Is this mahogany or something-?

Is mahogany even red-

I don't know my woods-

...

I wanna talk to Ruin...

They remind me of someone...

I can't remember who though...

The sun starts to slide down, a nice sunset of oranges, and pinks and a bit of dark purple settling in.

Solar hears the soft steps of a tired Ruin, who walks up to the wheel, guiding the towards sun.

Solar turns around, they had been drifting for quite some time now.

Solar watches as the land of where he lived for their whole life, drifts away.

This is the start of something amazing!

Solar turns back around, watching Ruin sail the boat, and see's Lunar, unhatch the sail.

A new dawn!
