you sneaked out of your palace, wanting fresh air. you and your father got in a fight in the morning over you going out with your friends without his permission. although you loved being royal and getting what you wanted all the time, you hated how it didn’t make you normal like the others and make you socialize less.

you walked by the docks until you saw a ship pull by. it seemed pretty ugly but at least it still worked. you heard the captain yell out for his mates to pull out the anchor. “its a pirate ship..” you mumbled to yourself, never seeing one in person. you saw the captain get off the boat and approached some stands the commoners had to welcome the tourists. people always talked bad about pirates and you never understood why until you saw the captain sneakily grab an apple from a fruit stand without anyone noticing, except you.

you approached the pirate and tapped his shoulder, making him turn to you. “hey! i saw you steal that apple! put it back or pay the price!” you pointed your index finger at him but he lowered your hand. he rolled his eyes, biting into the apple, “cant return it now, can i?” he said and shrugged turning his back in you, starting to walk down the isle of stands.
