 TX JOAT FIRST ST-- "A (NOT) SO SIMPLE PLAN"
Okay, this is a story idea I had for
the VS so maybe this could be one of the ST VS eps. The general
plot-- Three Americans secretly come to Pulau Pulau to make a deal
with Napoleon; the North secedes from the new American nation and
Napoleon and his troops back the North against the other
states....for a price. But what is the price and what will Jack have
to say about it (if he says anything at
all??)
*********************************************************************
For
the first time since he had come to the small French island of Pulau
Pulau, American spy Jack Stiles had had more than a week's break
from fighting Brogard, stopping some act of international
importance, and, while he was enjoying the lazy days, he was bored
stiff! After all, one could only spend so much time at the Drunken
Pig or Coque St. Jacques, the beach, or the market--especially if
one went to the market with Emilia Rothschild, business woman and
inventor extraordinaire; the woman just loved to shop even though
she never really bought much.
"Just think of it as exercise,
Jack," Emilia had said when he complained about all the times they
had been to market already.
"Exercise? I'll have you know I'm fit
as a fiddle!" Jack thumped himself on the chest to prove his point.
A low, hollowish sound resonated in the air for one brief
second.
"Yes. A bass
fiddle," Emilia smirked. "Face it Jack. Within the last month and
things being as quiet as they've been, you've gained a little more
weight than usual."
Jack bit his tongue before he said something
about her weight in retort. With a reluctant sigh, he allowed Emilia
to drag him around the market for a few days. She had not been
kidding when she said "exercise." She kept him on his feet and would
jab at him each time he started to sit down.
"Jack!"
Jack
heard the voice from far away.
"Jack? I know you can hear me!
It's time to get up!"
Jack struggled and his eyes opened for a
brief moment. It was the start of a new month and still they had
been without a mission. With a groan Jack's eyes closed and he
turned over in his bed. A few minutes later he heard the rustling of
Emilia's gown as she came in to the lab.
"Jack Stiles, I know you
are awake! It's three in the afternoon! Way past the time when you
should have been up!" Emilia scolded.
A sleepy eye finally looked
at her. "Don't see why you're getting all huffy!" Jack grumbled.
"It's already been a month and nothing's been happening."
"Until
now!" Emilia informed him.
Jack lifted his head, interested.
"Well don't just leave me hanging! What's up?"
"It seems that
Napoleon has his eye on America again. President Jefferson is afraid
that a few Americans are going to help Napoleon obtain land or
something--"
"That's ridiculous!" Jack scoffed. "No American
would turn his or her back on the Red, White, and Blue!"
"I know
you'd like to think that, Jack. But I know several people who would
have been fine if America had remained under the King and, according
to the brief news we get of the country, it seems as if trouble has
been brewing for some time."
"But it hasn't been
definite."
"It could be."
Jack thought it over for a moment.
"Well, one thing's for sure, if the King Shrimp is eyeing America
again, we've got to stop him."
"What about his American
allies?"
"What if they're not American? What if they're French,
German, Chinese--"
"Japanese, Burmese!" Emilia huffed. "Yellow,
Black, Orange, White, or even Purple Jack, we have to stop them
too!"

"Unless of course you'd like to see
America fall..." Emilia grinned after a moment.
"Not on your life
sister!"

Emilia and Jack spent the next two days at the docks observing
every passenger who came off the ships. Most of the people though,
were sailors who had spent months on the sea and now had a bit of
shore leave, merchants, and soldiers.
"Are you sure you read the
message from TJ right?" Jack asked on the second day and after they
had been at the docks for three hours.
"I do know how to read,
Jack!" Emilia rolled her eyes.
"I know, but maybe you made a
mistake about the mission. Maybe I'm supposed to meet Nappy's
supposed allies and try to overtake France?" Even though he said the
words, he believed them as much as Emilia did.
"I don't think so,
Jack. America's too new to be trying for world
domination."
"Okay, okay..it was just a thought."
"More like
wishful thinking!"
Jack made a face. "Hey, why don't we take a
break and go get a drink at the Pig?" he suggested after a
moment.
Emilia narrowed her eyes. Leave it to her partner to
ignore the mission--even if it were for a brief moment--in favor of
a drink! She was about to say no when she took one last look around
the docks. No more passengers were disembarking, a few soldiers
patrolled the area, and everyone else she saw was either a merchant
or a citizen of the island. "I suppose we could take a short break,"
she said, emphasizing the word "short."
Jack grinned and offered
his arm. Emilia linked hers through and the two spies headed for the
Drunken Pig.

 Re: TX JOAT FIRST ST-- "A (NOT) SO SIMPLE PLAN"
As Jack and Emilia were heading to
the Drunken Pig, Jack opened the door for Emilia.
"Ladies
first." Jack smiled.
"Thank you." Emilia replied.
As
Emilia was about to go in a man pushed her out of the way. Jack got
pissed.
"Hey you!" Jack shouted. The man turned back around
and pointed to himself. "Yeah you! Show a lil' more respect to a
lady will ya?!"
"Why don't cha make me?" He replied
coldy.
"Oh, I'll make you, alright!" Jack raised his fist in
the air while continuing to threaten him.
"Jack please. He's
nothing but an ignorant @#%$! And the more you two argue, the less
time we can have short break, and to find out the
traitor!"
"Alright...hey, you got lucky pal! Otherwise I
would've..."
"Jack...c'mon..."
"I'm sorry but I just
thought it was rude of him to push a pretty lady out the way and
all."
"That's quite alright Jack. You're more mature than him
and I thank you for that." Emilia smiled. Jack smiled back and asked
the barkeeper 2 buttery nipples.
What they didn't know was
that the man that pushed Emilia was the traitor...
