Long John’s eyes scanned through the group of pirates in front of him as they stood below deck.None of the pirates dared to look Long John in the eyes as he glared at them each in turn.Mad Monty and Polly were attempting to explain what was going on to Clueless Morgan without much luck.

"That’s why we’re here" Mad Monty said.

"So Harmony tried to poison us?" Clueless Morgan asked.

"No,no,no.Harmony was poisoned" Polly said.

"But you said…" Clueless Morgan said.

"Silence" Long John bellowed.

All three jumped at the sound and were quiet immediately.Long John turned his attention back to the group in front of him.

"I can only guess which one of you did this to Harmony,it could be any one of you but my money is on you" Long John said,pointing at Calico Jerry.

Calico Jerry backed away and stuttering something incoherent but Blackeyed Pea and another pirate pushed him in Long John’s direction.

"I’ve seen you all looking at her but as far as I know you are the only one that has a problem with her" Long John said.

Calico Jerry swallowed hard and said:

"I didn’t touch her…"

Long John’s hand closed around his throat and Calico Jerry was quiet.

"Now I wont go as far as killing you yet but understand this,Harmony is no good to me dead,that makes her life worth more than anything,she belongs to me,try to hurt her again and you’ll find yourself swimming your way back to London" Long John said,yelling the last words.

He let go of Calico Jerry and the pirates quickly scurried away.

Harmony sighed as she looked around the room.Food was on the way but Harmony wasn’t exactly thrilled about it,her stomach still hurt alot and she really couldn’t eat much.Jim,Gonzo and Rizzo had been pampering her all week,getting her things,making sure she was comfortable and relaxed and she loved them for it but eating wasn’t going to work.The door to her room opened and Rizzo and Gonzo came in.

"Rizzo,that’s for Harmony" Gonzo said.

"I couldn’t help it,it was right in front of me" Rizzo argued.

"I knew I should have carried that plate" Gonzo said.

They stopped arguing when they saw Harmony sitting there.

"Hey Harmony,you’re awake" Gonzo said.

"I’ve been sleeping for the better part of the week,I think it’s about time that I am" Harmony joked.

Rizzo chuckled and Gonzo said:

"It’s understandable,you were very sick"

"That I was" Harmony agreed "and still am I’m afraid"

"Oh…so you wont be eating this?" Rizzo asked,looking at the plate he was carrying.

"Rizzo" Gonzo scolded.

"It’s alright Gonzo" Harmony said chuckling as Jim came into the room.

"Hi Harmony" Jim said blushing.

"Hi Jim" Harmony said with a smile.

Rizzo and Gonzo moved over to let Jim through but Jim just stood there with the plate in his hands.Gonzo and Rizzo nudge him from behind.

"Go on" Gonzo said.

"Give it to her" Rizzo whispered.

"Alright,alright" Jim whispered back.

He closed the distance between himself and the bed and stood in front of Harmony.

"I made you something" Jim blurted.

"You did?" Harmony said,obviously pleasantly surprised.

Jim nodded shyly and gave the plate to Harmony.Harmony smiled when she saw what was on it.The cutest little cupcake with sprinkles and edible decorations on it.

"Thank you Jim,it looks delicious" Harmony said.

"Try it" Jim said.

Harmony gulped,she didn’t know if her stomach would allow her to eat a cupcake but she didn’t wanna hurt Jim’s feelings so she broke off a small piece and put it in her mouth.She chewed it slowly and was surprised to find that it didn’t make her the least bit nauseous,it was really good,soft and sweet.She took another piece and ate it as Jim looked on with a smile.

"It was delicious" Harmony said when she was done.

Before Jim got the chance to respond the door opened with a slam and Gonzo and Rizzo jumped and yelped at the impact.

"Oh my,this does not look safe,not safe at all" mr Arrow said as he walked in.

Harmony wanted to say something but she didn’t get the chance.Mr Arrow was already there,grabbing the plate and setting it down on a table.

"If the plate falls you could cut yourself" mr Arrow said.

"Mr Arrow,I’m quite alright now" Harmony said as mr Arrow checked her pulse and felt her forehead for her temperature.

"Miss Harmony,I was most distressed when I heard what happened" mr Arrow said.

"I appreciate your concern but I don’t…" Harmony said.

Mr Arrow turned away from Harmony and towards Jim,Gonzo and Rizzo.

"Gentlemen,I’m gonna have to ask you to leave,miss Harmony needs her rest" mr Arrow said.

"No mr Arrow,they don’t need to leave" Harmony said.

Mr Arrow turned to Harmony in surprise.

"Are you sure?.Because I could throw them out" mr Arrow said to Harmony behind his hand.

"That wont be necessary mr Arrow,thank you" Harmony said.

Mr Arrow nodded,huffed at Jim,Gonzo and Rizzo as he passed and walked out of the room.

"Hmph,who put itching powder in his underwear?" Rizzo asked.

Jim,Harmony and Gonzo chuckled and not long after Rizzo joined in.
