Toms POV:

My plan was in motion. Operation Captain Capsparklez was a go! Or maybe captain sparklesize? I don't even know....

What I do know, is that the only way to get sparklez to confess, is by making him jealous. Jealousy is often the answer to everything...especially love related things...

I made an alarm clock last night for this very plan, so if I did it right......

I awoke with a start upon hearing my clock, and sprung out of the covers with a spring in my step. I quickly got ready, and ran full speed towards the coast. When I got there, I noticed that the pirates hadn't arrived yet.

Perfect....

I took the sheet off of the hull that I finished earlier, and grabbed the planks from beside it. I quickly grabbed my diamond axe and went to the nearest forest, chopping down trees like a madman, and when I was convinced I had enough, I ran back at the speed of light. Using my sword, I carved the logs into cylinders, earning a few splinters that I couldn't bother to remove, and nailed them together, before attaching the post to the ship.

Ok...now only the mast, and waterproofing left to go...

There was no way in hell that I'd be able to make a giant mast just from the wool of one sheep, so I reluctantly grabbed my shears, and prepared myself for my least favourite activity....

Sewing.....

I was never really good at it....and neither was tucker....Jordan, Sonja, and waglington were the only ones that were really good at it, and Sonja was the very best.

Well, shit...

I'm never going to get this done in time if I don't have a professional helping me.....

So, it was with a reluctant heart, that I sulked over to the house on the mountain, and knocked on the door, of the house that belonged to the one person on the island that hated me most...

Sonja opened the door, rubbing her tired eyes, and upon seeing me waving awkwardly, she sighed and groaned.

"Hey....." I started.

"Hello." She said blankly.

"So, um.....how you doing?"

"What do you want Tom?" She said straight to the point.

Ok, here we go.....should I tell her Jordan's secret? Or just ask for help? No she'll never help me then.....

"Jordan has a crush on capsize!" I blurted out.

Her eyes widened, her mouth almost dropping to the ground.

"Oh"

"My"

"God!!!"

She made a high pitched scream, and dragged me inside, slamming the door behind her.

"Tell me everything!!!" She squealed excitedly.

"Ok ok!" I protested backing away from the love obsessed crazed lady.

"So, I need your help to make me the mast for the pirates new boat, so I can finish my community service for the day early. And then, I have a plan to get the two captains together! So, are you in?" I asked hopefully.

"Ok, yeah sure! Anything for Jordan!" She said standing.

My heart sunk a bit, seeing that she was only in it to help sparklez, which wasn't a surprise, but it still hurt...

"I've got the wool and string for you ready to go, so just make the mast and you'll be done." I said opening the door for her.

"Ok, can do!" She said running out excitedly.

Hopefully all goes to plan, so that I can get to making mr sparklypants jealous....

As the sun started to come up, the finishing touches were made to the pirates boat, and with Sonja's help, I pushed it into the water, and sighed in relief as it bobbed gently on the waters surface, floating above the sand.

I waved Sonja goodbye, and packed up my tools, sitting down to rest after a long four hours of work in the middle of the morning.

I looked over the horizon, and saw a small island.

Huh...good place to build a house maybe, seeing as mine keeps getting blown to hell and back with pranks and TNT...

I still had a bit of time, so I ran back to my house, jumping over the holes and dodging pieces of jagged wood on my way, and grabbed some sandstone, and a sign. I left the sign on my door, and ran back to the coast, panting from the insane amount of running that I'd done that morning. Gathering myself together, I started building, and I didn't stop until I heard the faint cheering and merry talking of the pirates over the hill. I checked my com, it was 8:30. I ran over to the small living area the pirates had set up before, and sat on a chest, picking out my various splinters.

"Aye! Syn! You be here early!" Skipper called out running over.

"Yeah, I've got a surprise for you guys."

"Oh? And what be this surprise?" Earl asked joining us.

"Look over by the coast and you'll see." I pointed as capsize walked over.

The three pirates and me ran over to the coast, and all three gasped when they saw the new ship. It was really big, and made of oak, dark oak, quartz, and with tinges of gold. It had two giant red wool sails, knitted by Sonja, and was about as big as sparklez house, heck, even bigger.

Skipper and earl ran like excited children towards the boat, splashing in the water trying to get to the ladder, and cheering.

Capsize came to my side, and I prepared myself.

"Matey.....I can tell ye put a lot of effort into this....more than was required....ye even decked it with gold, quartz, and furnishings already....ye be a Dianite....what business could ye possibly have going out of yer way to get up early, make the biggest ship I've ever seen, and all for a bunch of ianites?!" She said accusingly.

"What evil plans does yer dark lord have in store for us that includes ye sucking up to the ianitees?" She asked raising her voice.

"Look, don't tell anyone this, but......I genuinely want to help you guys....I've met Ianite before....she's not all bad.....and, you guys have no where to live since the ship sunk, which I feel partly responsible for. Besides, you are all great people, especially you." I said calmly.

"Oh? And what do ye mean by that?" She asked.

"Well, I made this ship for you...I wanted it to be perfect, just like you....You are really pretty, and kind, and smarter than anyone I've ever met..."

She blushed a deep red.

"O-Oh.....well thank ye for doing this for us..." she stammered.

"No, I did this for you. And you're welcome Captain." I said walking away back to the hill.

I heard footsteps, and fist pumped in the air when I saw Jordan approaching.

"Hey Tom! Woah! Is that house over there yours?!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, yeah it is." I said looking over at my new sandy house on the island.

It was two stories high, and was surrounded by sugar cane. It was made out of sandstone and sand.

"Cool!" He said walking over.

His eyes landed on the pirates exploring the new ship, and his mouth dropped.

"Holy crap! Is that their new ship?!" He cried looking astounded.

On cue, Capsize approached, upon seeing sparklez, and waved.

"Isn't this new ship amazin? Syn really outdid himself! He's even going against his own god to help us out!" She exclaimed to sparklez.

"What?!"

"Shhh! Lass I said not to tell anyone!" I said hushing her.

"Lass?!" Sparklez said gobsmacked.

"Yeah, my new pet name for her." I said.

Capsize laughed.

"Well I better head back! Nice seeing ye sparklez!" She said running off.

"Tooooooooommmm?! What are you doing?!" Sparklez asked accusingly.

"Mwa? I'm not doing nothing! I need to go, see you later." I protested.

"Oh, and one more thing. I need to say something to you before I head off."

"Yeah?" He said questioningly.

I walked to his side, and whispered in his ear.

"You know, I can see why you like her....Capsize....You should've told her when you had the chance, cause now, you got competition..."

I walked away grinning, and I took a second to look back. His face was bright red, but with anger, and his fists were clenched.

Phase one complete....

Phase two, starting now...

Jordan's POV:

That little......

AAARGH!

I should've known.....

I should've known he would go behind my back like that......

It's Tom! I should never have admitted to my crush on Capsize....

No....I can't give up yet.....

Game on Tom, Game on.....

One day later:

Today. It should be done by today. If it's not, then I wasted fifty diamonds. I was pacing around my house, glancing anxiously at the construction area beside my house on the coast.

Cmon wag...

I need you to come good on this......

Please.....

As if hearing my thoughts, waglington appeared in front of me, startling me and making me stumble back.

"Jordan, may I present to you, the S.S Jerry!" He said gesturing to the construction site.

All at once everything disappeared, revealing a grand spruce ship, with a sleek look. It had a green symbol on the deck, and it had three white sails. There was purple stained glass to represent Ianite, but it was long, sleek, and almost looked like something out of a fairytale. It just gave off a mystical and magic atmosphere. It was perfect.

I just hope she likes it......

I heard footsteps, and looked behind me to see Tom approaching.

"Not bad sparklez... but you need to be more original..." he said blankly.

"We'll see Tom...We'll see...." I said looking up proudly at the ship.

I heard a loud gasp from the dock, and turned around to see capsize walking up to us, gaping at the ship.

"Holy cow!!! This ship be enormous!!!" She cried.

"Not that special..." Tom pouted.

"It be bigger than yours Matey!" She said in reply.

Tom just crossed his arms and huffed.

I smiled.

"How did ye build this?!" She asked me.

"Well, I won't lie, I didn't build it. The wizards did. I paid them fifty diamonds out of my own pockets for them to build it. I was thinking we could take it on our voyage to find my lady?" I explained.

"Aye, at least ye be honest. And ye worked hard for Ianite. I can admire that. We might take it to Ianarea."

"Ianarea?" Tom and I both asked.

"Yar, it be ianites home town. Destroyed long ago....by the dark lord....her temple lies there. We might be able to contact her spirit..."

"Well then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!!!" I exclaimed excitedly.

"Woah there matey not too fast! We might be headin there tomorrow."

"Awesome!!!" I cried.

"Yar!"

"Well, anyways, would you like a tour?"

"I be loving a tour matey."

I took her hand in mine, and helped her aboard. Tom joined us too.

"This ship is sure something!!!" Capsize said in awe.

I smiled and blushed.

"Thanks." I smiled, twirling my sword.

"Fancy sword." She said.

"Oh, thanks!" I said happily.

I think that Tom had enough at that point, because the next thing I knew I was being pushed overboard. I wasn't that far from the edge, so I didn't have time to resist.

I heard Capsize crying out, and saw Toms smirking face, before I plunged into the icy cold water below. The frosty cold water clung to my skin, almost making it burn. I opened my mouth in surprise, receiving a gulp of ice cold water rushing into my lungs, making me choke. I swam to the surface, my wet clothes weighing me down, and making it harder to swim upwards.

I got to the surface, gasping for air. I gathered myself, before looking on the ship, my view partially obscured by my wet hair in my face, and my shades tilted to the side.

"Yar, this be our ship now!" Tom said to capsize taking her hands in his while she was laughing her head off.

She laughed, and smiled at Tom.

I don't know what got into me. Normally I was the pacifist, the spectator, but something snapped. I enderpearled to the back of the ship, and grabbed my sword.

Tom looked around wildly, having heard the teleporting sound. He saw me, and his face dropped. He turned and bolted, running along the length of the boat. I gave chase, and caught up to him quickly. With one shove, he was in the water, and sinking below. I stopped, and looked at myself. I was acting like Tom, like a Dianite. I was stooping to his level...

What am I doing?!

All for a girl....

Knowing Tom, he's probably only doing this to make me jealous, or to mess with me.....

He probably doesn't even like Capsize....

Not like I do....

She doesn't deserve this...

Two immature guys fighting over her like idiots....

My head cleared, I looked over the edge, and saw Tom laughing like a hyena. He grinned up at me, and I smiled. I helped him back aboard, and shook his hand.

"Well played Tom. Well played." I said.

"I have no idea what you mean!" He said sarcastically.

"Oh well...there be no man for me on this island... maybe on the next adventure I'll meet a man....." Capsize sighed.

"What?!" Tom and I both asked simultaneously.

"You two obviously be together....there be no one left...."

We both laughed.

"I don't see me being eternally alone as funny?" She asked confusedly.

"We're not together!" I laughed.

"Oh?" She said, her face lighting up.

"Well anyway I better get going. See you round!" Tom said.

"Bye!" Capsize called.

I waved him goodbye as he ran off past my house.

We both headed off, and I ran home to plan something.

Me:

So she likes gold?

Sonja:

Doesn't stop talking about it

Tucker:

Yeah, I'd say that's your best bet.

Me:

Ok thanks! Bye!

Tucker:

Cya

Sonja:

Bai!

I put down my com, and grabbed some gold. I set up a private message to capsize, and started typing.

Let's see, I want to be funny and romantic, but make it my style at the same time?

Jeez Sonja could you have been any more obscure?!

Me:

I'm coming over to give you a gold shower

Capsize❤️:

Excuse me matey?!

Oh no! I blew it! I've got to save it!

Me:

You said you like gold?

Capsize❤️:

I be loving gold.

Me:

Soooo, I'm coming to give you some?

Capsize❤️:

Oh! Thank ye matey!

I ran over, with some roses and gold, and met her near Toms ship.

"Hi!" I called out.

She waved.

I handed her the roses, and gave her some gold, looking away nervously.

"Thank ye Matey! But ye canny win me heart with material goods." She said.

I felt my face going red, and tried to calm down, but couldn't stop myself.

"Then give it back!!!" I yelled.

I instantly regretted what I said, and covered my mouth with my hands.

She looked offended, and I mentally face palmed.

"You can't take back a gift!!!" She yelled, angry.

"I-I didn't mean...I'm ....I'm sorry...."

"Sorry doesn't cut it! Is this how ye treat all women?!"

"No I-I.....I'm sorry I just...."

"Just what?!"

"IM NERVOUS OK!!! I DIDNT MEAN IT!!! I WAS PLANNING ON ASKING YOU OUT!!!"

"..."

I looked down.

"I JUST WANTED TO IMPRESS YOU!!! EVER SINCE I SAW YOU, I FELL IN LOVE OK?! I TOLD TOM, AND HES BEEN TRYING TO MAKE ME JEALOUS BY FLIRTING WITH YOU!!! AND IT DEFINITELY WORKED!!! BECAUSE I STOOPED DOWN TO HIS LEVEL, AND MADE IT A CONTEST! I forgot what was most important to me...and what I was really aiming to do... which was...to confess my feelings for you...and I was hoping...that you would feel the same if I did what Tom was doing...because you seemed really interested in him....and I just wanted you to notice me....."

"..."

"The truth is....you're the kindest, bravest, smartest girl I know...and whenever I'm around you, my heart skips a beat, and I freeze....I wish I didn't though....because you seem really fond of Tom, and his confidence...which I wish I had.....I'm sorry if I offended you....I don't blame you if you want to go back to Tom....in fact, you don't deserve someone like me...you deserve someone like him...confident, brave, and skilled....the polar opposite to me....the weird, cautious, shy, and nerdy ianitee that no one notices..."

"Matey...."

"I was never interested in Syn....."

"I admired him, like an idol..."

"I longed to be like him.....to be willing to go against my gods wishes with such confidence...not that I'd go against Ianite...."

"The truth is, I like ye too. I just wanted to get to know you. The real you. Without any fancy ships or gold or flowers."

"So, I forgive ye, but please, cut the gifts away. Just take me out like a gentleman. Let me get to know ye. Cause I really want to."

I looked up, flustered, to see Capsize standing in front of me, smiling.

"I-I..." I stuttered.

"No, lets just leave it at that. I really want to give this a shot. So, I'll see ye around Captain?"

"U-Uh, yeah, see you around!" I stammered, blushing.

She smiled, and waved, walking off.

"Oh, and thank ye for the flowers!" She called out.

"N-No problem!"

I sighed.

She makes me feel so nervous.....

I really like her....

I heard footsteps, and didn't turn, knowing who was next to me.

"Hehe, knew you'd do it. All thanks to my genius! You'd have never gotten this far without me! I'll take my thank you now!" Tom gloated beside me.

"Tom"

"Yeah?"

"I hate you."
