Invasion of the Fluffy Kind

[Giselle]

"Awwww." Giselle said hugging Stitch like a teddy bear. "Poor little Stitch." She smiled. "Well don't worry, we are going to help you find your home." The princess didn't think of addressing Sinbad for that knowing very well what the answer would be, but at least there was something she could say to keep the creature's spirits up.

Sinbad's eyes narrowed again as he walked up to Giselle again. "Excuse me but who is the captain of this ship?" he asked, not waiting for her to asnwer. "Me. So, i think that you should be a good girl and keep your happy-cheerful, everything is rainbows and unicorns talk to yourself!"

[Rapunzel]

Rapunzel stood straight up, having given Stitch one pat on the head, but unable to ignore Sinbad's words on Giselle. The girl was sensitive and only trying to help the blue furred canine...creature.

"Did your orphanage ever teach you manners?" she almost spat, but her voice was contorted into that of calm rage. She probably shouldn't have brought that into it, but Sinbad was being horribly cruel to a girl who'd done nothing but good, never spoken a cruel word. She'd admit, she had lost some of the mindless teenagerness from the tower after leaving it and meeting this specific group of ruffians.

She stood on her tippy toes, facing Sinbad fully, though her height was barely enough to get her a few centimeters above his shoulder. "No need to be so cruel!" she glowered, hoping none of Sinbad's crew (ooc: I assume they're background for now...) would step in and intervene.

[Sinbad]

Sinbad clenched his fist in anger. "For your information blondie, its hard to think of manners when you are fighting to survive out there!" he said with a growl. "Have you ever had to fight for food, for your life? Running from guards, and always envying those who had it all when you had nothing!" he asked. As angry as he was, he knew better than to strike again her. He would never hurt a woman let alone one that stood up to him.

He cast a look at his crew, they were looking confused and shocked at the moment. Probably because no one not even them had managed to get Sinbad to admit his past. Why would he suddenly admit it to this woman. "At least you had a mom! What did i have?"

Spike stood by Giselle whimpering, the red head girl was still filled with tears. "Stop it, both of you. Fighting is not going to solve anything." she struggled to regain her composure. She was not used to two people fighting like this. Dark shadows were loaming over the group and she did not like it.

Hugging Stitch tightly she just wanted them to stop.

[Rapunzel]

Rapunzel listened to Sinbad's explosion, she didn't think he would hit her. He couldn't, for as sexist as he was, he was still a man and hitting a women was unmanly at best. And then it was her turn to vent.

"Nothing? HA! You had PEOPLE." she emphasized the word, " A FRIEND! You had Freedom, and you were greedy, a THIEF!" she continued to vent. If they were getting it out all right now, she wouldn't mind if more people offered shouting. It would actually make her feel better. She instantly regretted her words to Sinbad, but she wouldn't admit it. In his eyes, she was spoiled. In her eyes he was greedy. That's the way the world goes round. she mused bitterly to herself.

"I had a tower, I had my mom, and I had paint." her voice had lowered an octave, losing it's shouting, though her eyes remained a glare. Her eyes unwavering. That is, until Giselle cried out. She didn't apologize, and she didn't agree that the girl was right. Afterall, maybe the first day she had met Sinbad and Flynn, they'd been right. Maybe a little venting and shouting match did some good. But she felt guilt. Why should she? She'd probably offended Sinbad's whole crew, as well as Flynn Rider. Well there went her ride home.

She knelt down beside Giselle, offering her hand to spike, and her other to Stitch. It seemed that Stitch might have been the only one she wouldn't have hurt in the venting rage. Atleast she hoped so.

"Don't worry little guy, we'll help you get a home." she cooed softly. "But for now, your with us." She tentatively placed a hand on his head, and offered a little scratch and pet.

[Sinbad]

Sinbad was taken back by the shouting, but before he control himself he said something else. "At least you had something to look forward to! Someone to talk to that others didn't mind you talking to." he snarled. "Me, my best friend was a prince? His family wanted nothing to do with me and because i was lowly and a street urchin, how do you think that feels?!"

Giselle bit back her tears, as bad as it was at least they were letting it out. She had no idea that these people had so much pain deep inside and so far, Stitch had not made a sound but maybe that's what they needed. Turning to the captain of the ship, she opened her mouth to say something.

Though she never got the chance since Sinbad shoved past his crew and walked into the captain's quaters with a slam of the door. She glanced at the crew who said nothing but went on their way. "Do you think we should talk to him?" she asked, though if the question was pointed at Stitch, Spike or Rapunzel it was unclear.

[Rapunzel]

"Look forward to?" she spat. "I looked forward to the Lanterns, and I WAS NEVER allowed to talk about leaving." she glared at her hands still patting his fluffy blue head, but other than that, making no attempt at eye contact with anyone, not the crew or Spike. "Well I was stuck in a tower." she mumbled under her breath, scratching behind Stitch's ears.

At Giselle's question she shook her head. "I just did." she said simply, though she knew she should. But she refused to apologize to Sinbad, afterall, the tan man had started it. She didn't want to look into the other's eyes to see the confirmation, the confusion, or the disgust of the crew as they realized that she had caused Sinbad to speak of the past. It appeared only the dark skinned man new anything about it.

"Well now, adorable fluffball, how'd you get to finding us?" she put on a smile, looking at Stitch, as she had not been one of the first of the welcome party.

[Stitch]

Stitch had quite forgotten what was going on, what with being hugged so tightly by Giselle and scratched between the ears by Rapunzel. The fluffy little alien liked the attention. He'd been so alone while hiding that he had never thought he would allow anyone to touch him. Yet, there Stitch was in the arms of the redheaded girl and being petted by the blonde. Needless to say, Stitch took back his thoughts on being touched. It could be enjoyable. He was to the point where he had stuck his tongue out contentedly and was purring softly. Content alien was content for once, his desire to destroy briefly quelled.

Stitch let his ears rise again and blinked a couple of times, letting reality come back to him as he took in Rapunzel's question. How had he found the ship? Well, that was simple enough to answer. ...Sort of. Stitch had a bit of a limited English vocabulary. He pointed one dark blue claw to the tree he had originally been perched in to begin with. "Was there," then he dragged his claw down through the air and toward the ship. "Saw here, and here Stitch is." Stitch explained with a smug sort of look. The tears in the sail he had made caught his attention again, so he raised a claw in the air to point at them. "Climbed. Saw him, and... pounced." Stitch explained.

[Giselle]

Giselle looked up at the sails with a smile. Sinbad was going to be so mad. Not that he wasn't going to be mad to begin with but well, this seemed to be the perfect time to keep quiet about it. "Aw, you just wanted to cause some trouble for Captain Sinbad didn't you?" she asked, her friendly smile getting bigger.

She liked Stitch even if Sinbad didn't. He was a cutie, sure he was a little different but who wasn't

[Flynn]

Flynn was never going to admit it, but Rapunzel's words did hit a soft spot, especially when she mentioned the orphanage. ''You know nothing about how its like there!'' He snarled. However he had to admit that her tower story didn't sound quite funny either.

The thief sighed in annoyance as Giselle started talking to the 'thing' again.

[Stitch]

Stitch nodded furiously as a devious sort of look formed on his face. That was him, all right. A little trouble causer bent on mischief and the like. He seemed proud of what he had done, though. Regret just wasn't something Stitch understood. At least, not yet. He did wonder if he should feel something beyond glee at tearing up Sinbad's sail, though. Only briefly, of course. Stitch was not a creature of thinking long and hard about such trivial things as guilt. Not for the moment, at any rate. At last, though, Stitch decided to voice his response. "Ih! Stitch do! Stitch do!" Stitch replied gleefully, clapping his paws together once more and smiling like a giddy child at Christmas. Stitch took great pride in his handiwork. It was what he did best.

Stitch wondered if there was more trouble to cause on the ship. It was a big ship, after all. Surely there was some kind of trouble he could get into without putting himself into danger. Maybe break something? Who knew? Stitch's mind was going about a mile a minute as he let ideas whirl and swirl through his head. However Sinbad reacted didn't matter. He had said he could stay. That was enough reason for Stitch to have free range on whatever he did, right?

[Giselle]

Giselle turned her attention to Flynn with a pout. "Maybe its because you manly men don't talk about it. We want to help but obviously you are too proud to admit that you have serious problems. You are a bunch of dirtbags!"

Silence followed after she had spoken. she had never ever spoke to anyone let alone a man like that. her cheeks burned with embarrassment. "I'm sorry.." she said twirling a lock of hair in her finger. Turning back to the direciton Sinbad had gone, she tugged on Rapunzel's sleeve. "Come on, at least say something to him,"

The last thing they needed when they set sail was an angry captain. He might actually throw them overboard.

[Rapunzel]

Rapunzel couldn't help but smile at Stitch. She didn't blame him. "Yeah, I don't blame you for it!" she cooed scratching his soft head once more. Flynn's words drew her back into the snappy mood she'd been in.

"Yeah? What do you know about isolation for 19 years?" she shot back, emerald eyes hardening to green ice. She turned her gaze before it could find Flynn's or the crew's continuing to pet whatever Stitch was.

"You were only trying to play little guy, so what if your a little strong." she smiled ruffling his fluffy fur. She turned to Giselle, apology in her eyes, though she'd never voice it. It was a woman thing. She stretched her arms briefly, but continued to pay and focus her attention on the blue creature between her and Giselle, not wanting to have to actually go and apologize to both Flynn and Sinbad. God, that would be absolutely horrible. The sexist remarks would never end.

But than Giselle looked at her with pleading eyes, and after the red head had talked back to Flynn, she didn't think she could deny her. Stitch clapping was fascinating and it forced a laugh from her throat. It was like watching a baby laughing. Rapunzel sucked in a gulp of air and straightened up going to the captain's quarters door. Tapping twice lightly. She waited, and then tapped twice, rough enough for the doors to wobble.

[Sinbad]

Sinbad opened the door again expecting nothing less. "Yes?" he asked leaning against the door with the still annoyed expression on his face. If his face could freeze in pissed-off mode then he would have had that on but well he didn't have enough time to actually be pissed off. He stared at the blonde, the apology lingering in his mind.

[Rapunzel]

"Sorry!" she half shouted, half mumbled gruffly, eyes glaring at Sinbad. If he asked her to repeat it, she'd gladly slap him and stalk off. It'd probably be in their best interests to get the whole sorry thing over with anyway. She turned her head, between Giselle, Flynn, and the crew, as if asking, 'are you happy now?'

Turning back to Sinbad, she glanced past him, catching the glimmer of gold to wear his room opened. She was honestly curious, no doubt that he had glorious treasures to bask in as he slept. No doubt they were stolen either. Rapunzel made her eyes force away from what was no doubtly stolen. The less she knew of what was stolen, the better. She turned her eyes back to Sinbad, expectantly.

[Sinbad]

"Yeah well, me too!" he said half angry half convincing. He glanced at Giselle and the crew giving them a dark "what are you looking at?" glare causing the crew for hte most part to turn back to their work.

The man sighed, rubbed the back of his head before sighing. Catching her eyes flicker to his room, he smirked and walked past her. "If you are going to stay you and your other friend and that....t-" he caught himself noticing Giselle's dark glare. "Stitch, might as well have a look to find out what i'm used to. You too Rider."
