IN THE PINK (PERIOD) (M/F)

Anne burst into the room and ran towards the tub that her friend
Elizabeth was soaking in.

"Helen's ship was captured by pirates!" Anne said breathlessly.

"Pirates?" Elizabeth said.  "I can't believe they'd have the nerve, what
with Captain Jack scheduled to hang on Sunday".  "Their leader is as
good as dead".

"He's in the pink of health now!" Anne gasped.  "He escaped last night!"
Anne said.  "And he captured Helen's ship an hour later!"

"The cheeky rogue!" Elizabeth fumed.

"It gets worse", Helen said breathlessly.  "He took Helen back to Pirate
Island." "Captain Jack stripped her butt naked - as naked as you are
right now - and pranced her around the auction block in front of all the
other pirates!"  "He said he wanted to show them what 'English booty'
looked like!"

"He didn't - sell her, did he?" Elizabeth said.

"No, even worse" her friend replied.  "He spanked her!"  "He tied her
hands above her head and twirled her naked for the crowd".  "He said she
had the second fairest bottom in the Caribbean, next to yours".  "And he
swore he wouldn't rest until he paddled your pampered backside too!"

"Then he paddled her naked...in front of the whole island!"  Helen's
gasped.  "Then he took her back to his cabin and used her".  "He can
last all night from what I hear, and she was none the worse for that"
Helen added with a giggle.

"Helen!" Elizabeth said, feigning shock.  Elizabeth's maid looked over
and smiled.  Mistress Elizabeth was trying to look scandalized, but the
maid could tell her lady was secretly thrilled.

"Your father is having another gun placed on 'THE AVENGER' for your trip
next week", Helen said.  "He fears for your safety".

Elizabeth rose from the tub and admired her fine round bottom in the
mirror.  "Did Captain Jack really say I had the finest bottom in the
Caribbean?"

"Yes, and he said he hopes you wear pink undies when he captures you",
Helen giggled.  "Pink is his favorite color".

"Perhaps you should go for a sail today, my lady", the smiling maid
said.  "I believe "The Helpless Fairy" is leaving on a pleasure cruise
in an hour".

"But it has no guns!" Helen gasped.  "It's been boarded three times this
month!"  "With Captain Jack on the prowl..."

"My maid is right", Elizabeth replied.  "You can't let these Pirate scum
think you're afraid of them".

Elizabeth looked over to the bed, where her grinning maid was already
laying out her pink drawers.
