My new outfit was perfect in size and exactly what I would have expected for a pirate captain. I walked out onto the main deck just as Ossley and Belmar pulled up. I looked up to the sky and noticed a small black cloud on the horizon.
“I see you got the new clothes.” Belmar said. “Didn’t he have anything more regal?”
“Hurry on board. The weather is turning.” I said.
“What? That little cloud?” Belmar asked.
“Yes. I would like clear skies for our maiden voyage.” I said.
“Relax Captain. It’s not going to rain.” Belmar said enthusiastically.
“Look at the clouds Belmar. It’s going to rain.” I said.
“I’m telling you that it’s not going to rain.” Belmar said with growing enthusiasm.
“Belmar, don’t be an idiot, the clouds are forming behind your back. It’s going to rain.” Ossley said annoyed.
“Would you people stop saying that? It’s not going to rain!” Belmar said.
“Now I’m telling ya, it looks like rain.” Gragh said laughing.
“IT IS NOT GOING TO RAIN!” Belmar yelled. Suddenly A crack of thunder with a flash of lightning scorched the sky behind Belmar.
