Okay
Thanks to everyone who read my first story 
it really means a lot Hope you enjoy the next part !
"So, let me get the straight..." Apollo said slowly. "You went down to check on Gulliver and he had no recollection of anything that has happened to him whilst being in this town, including an inability to recognise you two, right?" Both Cookie and Alice nodded slowly glancing at each other for much needed reassurance. The duo had been quite taken aback when Gulliver had reacted so coldly to the friendly greeting that they had offered that very same morning. He would not take a perfect apple just in case they had been "poisoned" with the blood of a Saw Shark and he would not leave the beach in case of being captured by rival pirates, robbed of his gold and left alone to perish in the darkness. Now, Gulliver was sat on the golden sands of the Acorns beach playing with an assortment of seashells and arranging them into pictures. Gwen and Bigtop had been told to watch him until a suitable to place to house him had been discovered. This assignment had created a drama in itself.
"I am working with BIGTOP?" Cried Gwen when Tammy had delivered her the news. "Why can't I work with Whitney, or Molly or even MARSHAL for goodness sake! Geez, you could put weight on just looking at that crazy elephant! Oh and while I'm on the subject," she scoffed "What is with the way he dresses? With that superhero getup, he's hardly got the body to be a crime fighter, he'd be gasping for air after running five yards!"
Bigtop hadn't been a member of the Acorns community for very long, in fact he had only resided in the town for a little over two months. Even in that short period of time he had made secure enemies, particularly Gwen. The little penguin literally chocked on her Cherry ice-cream when Bigtop had arrived at her front gate with Alice during his town tour. On the way out of Gwen's garden Bigtop had fallen over a tree setup and destroyed one of her beloved blue roses!
The two had been locked in a battle fuelled by raw hatred ever since.
Alice didn't really mind Bigtop, he was friendly enough, but there was one thing that bothered her when it came to him, his motives. On arriving in Acorns, Bigtop stated rather boldly that he had come to the town to attempt to reunite with his superhero partners. "Three of them!" Big Top had told Alice the day that he arrived in town. "All of them separated from me in a tragic and horrendous accident, oh I do hope they are not dead!" It would be untrue to say that this tale didn't weird Alice out because it did, a lot. Her suspicions were only enlarged when Cookie came running up to her one night ears failing behind her.
"I heard Big Top chanting to himself in his house!" She panted. "He was reciting some kind of poetry! It went like this... I think!"
"Come to me
My Divine Three
Lost 1,2,4
Leaving only me!
Come Agent
Come infant
Come the one who will blast into the air
Just let me see
That you are there!"
"And then he burst into tears!" shrieked Cookie as she erupted into floods of laughter. Alice tried to laugh alongside her best friend but from somewhere inside her, she could sense that Big Top really was broken, despite his usually sunny exterior. "Is it really just a fa?ade?" She had asked her self time and time again.
Apollo was still gazing out of the window, he had been doing so for a long time. After what seemed like two eons he grunted and turned around. "Gulliver spoke of a maiden of the sea, yes?" He asked.
"Oh yes replied Cookie. "Said that she put some kind of curse on him, something to do with amnesia."
Apollo nodded. "Yes... Yes.... He muttered more to himself than to anyone else."Looks like this.... Is the only way..."
He raised his voice. "Look'" he said sternly. "This illness that Gulliver harbours is bad, BAD news. That bird brained fool could become defensive at any moment, hm? You say he is a pirate, if that is true than he could own many weapons in the pocket of that sea coat he wears. Knives, projectile weapons, daggers, you know what I mean!" Alice glanced at Cookie, her usually bright and peppy friend had gone immensely pale, clearly terrified. "So," continued Apollo we need to get him cured, and do THAT we will have to find this maiden of the sea, supposing she does actually inhabit this earth.
"Where are you going with this Apollo?" Whispered Alice, suddenly as scared as her friend. Apollo sighed, reached into his bookshelf and produced a map. He unfolded it on his old coffee table and pointed one feathered wing at a tiny island located in the ocean not to far from Acorns. "The island of Bubble Cobble," whispered Apollo. Cookie giggled. "Bubble Cobble!" She repeated in a silly voice.
"How dare you mock!" Snapped Apollo and Cookie fell silent. "This island may be the key to saving our damn lives!" He shouted "And you have the nerve to mock?" He took a deep breath before continuing. "Bubble Cobble is said to house three Octopi. Marina the kind, Octavian the grumpy and Zucker the hungry." Cookie stifled another giggle as she listened to Apollo speak about "Zucker the hungry!" "They own a grand Library all about the oceans and seas of this world and I bet your bottom dollar there will be at least three books on the maiden of the sea!" Alice sat up with a jolt. "You want us to go to Bubble Cobble!" She cried in disbelief! Apollo sighed heavily before replying.
"Well... Yes! But not all of you, only four shall go. The rest shall remain in Acorns and tend to Gulliver! It was Cookie's turn to jump up. "Gulliver could kill you all in one go! She shrieked. "What on earth are you planning to actually DO!"
"Don't worry," said Apollo in a voice that was extremely reassuring. "I have a plan, a good plan." We tell Gulliver that we have already captured him and the town he is in now, our town, is a prison. We tell him that if he makes a move we fire, he doesn't know any better! I wish we could do this for the rest of our lives but he'd realise after a month that none of us own anything remotely harming!" Apollo paused, ruffled his old droopy feathers, and continued. "You depart tomorrow, you can choose who to bring with you. Isabelle with assume the role of mayor whilst you are gone. You will need an abundance of food and water, I will leave most of the planning up to yourself. If you want any help or guidance come and fine me but I know suggest you leave and plan. You will be absolutely fine." He paused. "I....I promise. Alice glanced at Cookie, the little pink dog looked like she was about to cry. Alice reached over and grabbed one of her white tipped paws. Cookie looked up and the two friends eyes met. Whatever they had to do, whatever dangers, they had to put themselves through, whatever pain they had to subject themselves to, they would do it together...
And there you have it! Sorry it's so long, I got really carried away ! Tell me if you want a part 3 and tell me what you thought of it please! Whether that be by PM, on this thread or by post on my wall! I would be so,so,so grateful you wouldn't believe! I would love to be known on this forum for writing as I do aspire to be a writer. Please just leave your opinion it would be very much appreciated Even if you just write something really short, I would love everybody who reads this to host something as I did work really hard on this, even if what you leave is critical, fine by me asking as its constructive
Thanks for reading
