Life as a ship’s boy aboard HMS Dolphin is a dream come true for Jacky Faber. Gone are the days of scavenging for food and fighting for survival on the streets of eighteenth-century London. Instead, Jacky is becoming a skilled and respected sailor as the crew pursues pirates on the high seas.

“Where have you three been?!” said Drake’s mom. “I can’t believe you told your sister and then told her not to tell!”

“That little snitch,” Drake said.

“I know you’re also a dragon, but that doesn’t mean you can fly off whenever you want. I should…”

“We were looking for my mom. Please yell at drake or Topaz. It was my idea,” Aleea say.

Drake woke up to Aleea and Topaz coming in with a huge platter of food. “This is for three reasons,” Aleea told him. “One: You saved my life, though we still aren’t even. Two: You are helping me as if I am part of your family. Three: Just for the heck of it.” She smiles.

“Topaz are you-“ Drake starts.

“I already fed her.”

“Did you eat?”

“No, why?” she said, confused.

“I’m home!” yells Drake.

“Where were you?” Zoey questions. “Cryst said he saw you with “a hot redhead, chestnut-skin girl.” What’s her name?”

Drake turns bright pink and Topaz blurts, “Her name is Aleea!”

“You can talk even better!” says Zoey, surprised.

“Uh, yeah!” Topaz says, and then bursts out laughing.

“Well I’m glad.”
