'This is SO GREAT! LUCAAA!'
That was just a shout of many. A noisy scandalous PP was the cause of it, as he ran down the street. His weird aspect, along with his odd excited attitude only made the people from the same street to run away of his way as quick as possible.
'Maybe a monster is running after him, mum!' A kid commented.
But that was nothing more far from the reality, even if it seemed exactly it. But PP was not scared, but happy, euphoric, crazy of enthusiasm! It sure had something to do with the paper he was holding with his rigid arm in front of his painted red eyes. It seemed he had took it quickly by the force since it was lightly broken in the sides.
His body bumped up and down because of his short legs and the fall of the plastic man looked inminent. Although that did not seem to bother the black and white cat who slept on his hat, Dragon. Actually the only one who was calm there...
'Luca! Luca! Look what I found!! Luca, where are you! LUUUC-!!!!!!'
And Dragon was also the only one who didn't jump in a surprise when PP fell aganist the ground and his head jumped away some meters... Plus, Dragon kept sleeping on the hat of PP, drooling.

A tall, long-haired man picked up the head of PP, Dragon and all, and placed it back on it's shoulders.
"What IS it, PP? I'm in the middle of a good chapter until I heard your yelling." Luca Roivas tried to keep himself from shouting as he picked PP off the ground and dusted him off. The man had been reading a wonderful book up in a tree, and had almost fallen out when he had heard the shrill noise his partner had been making.

The smile of PP's head did not change a bit and it shaked itself in continuing enthusiasm in the hands of Luca. All of Dragon's reactions were opening his eyes and meowing in middle of drool.
'I have something wonderful we can do, Luca! I found it! We must join, Luca, we must!' His smile went wider.
And all of a shudden the body of PP ran right in front of Luca and raised the paper he had in his arms, pushing it directly into Luca's face.
'REEEEEEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATA!!!!!' The head shouted in a huge enthusiasm 'It's tomorrow, Luca, we MUST JOIN!!!! Wouldn't you enjoy a regata!? We sure will see pirates!!!'
Dragon drooled more with a noisy meowing.
'And...' He looked at him tenderly 'The prize is 80,000 coins, Luca... I need it for that doctor set I was saving money for... It'd be SO COOL... We'll be going, won't we? We'll tell Genki and Thom to join us!!'

Luca swatted away PP's hands and grabbed the paper with a grunt. He read it with a scowl. He raised an eyebrow. Whatever this "regata" was, the poster wasn't telling him. he looked at Dragon and pet him for a moment before fixing a glare onto the thing it was sitting on.
"And what exactly IS Regata, PP? And why should we compete? We're mercenaries, not athletes." He put a furred and clawed finger to his chin as he continued to ponder.
80,000. That was a lot of coins.With that, they'd be able to eat for 2 months and STILL get PP that stupid medical kit he wanted.
"Tell ya what, blue boy." He said as he folded the paper and put it in the pocket of his shorts. "Tell me what Regata is, and I'll consider."

PP began to make little jumps in enthusiasm as he began his explanation.
'Easy, Luca! Don't you know? A regata is a boat race!' he began 'We can rent for free a boat there for participating and we only will have to cross the first ones the goal, it says it's a popular regata and any kind of seamen will be participating!'
PP sighed with a dreaming looking in his eyes
'Interesting people, my dream coming true and a good amount of healthy exercise in an activity for all the family, we MUST join, Luca! We will, won't we? We have to so we shall!'
In that moment a male voice interrupted them.
'I didn't know you had any idea of boats, do you?'
Thom, the flying black man of rainbow-coloured hair had arrived next to them, flying one meter over the floor, carrying a couple of what seemed to be shop bags. And he didn't seem too happy over it, it was obvious he did not want to be making groceries... The evidence was after him... Genki, the bear accompained him, with much better mood.
'Of course we have no idea, PP is just asking us for doing some crazy stuff, like always, Thom.' She commented 'Except...'
Then the bear walked near Luca in a soft affectional looking
'Except if our dear Luca happens to have hidden skills...' She said as she nuzzled him at the cheek.
'Awwwww' PP sighed. Dragon jumped into one of Thom's bags, but the prince quickly flied away of the cat.
'I haven't been carrying with those for NOTHING, you weird creature!' He shouted '.. The prince said! ' He added with pride.
((Sorry for have taken so long to answer! It won't happen again, I had problems connecting..))

"Actually I do know a little of boats...Just enough to pilot one...But these guys are professionals..." Luca somehow managed to pull himself away from Genki's affection, and resumed staring at the paper. "Still...80,000 coins...We could do a lot with that..." He mumbled to himself as he pried Dragon out of the grocery bag and placed him back on top of PP's hat. "Stay." He commanded forcefully.
He thought for a few more moments before placing the paper in his pocket and picking up Thom's share of the groceries. "It's settled. Let's get this food home, people. We're winning that cash."

PP followed the group screaming in happiness and even dancing his way to home. Meanwhile Genki was spending the walk getting affectionately close to Luca.
'Want me to hold those bags for you, caramellized sweetie of mine?'
Thom by his side, deffintely wasn't agreeing with this idea at all.
'Excuse me! DON'T PRETEND I'M GOING TO HELP YOU!' He screamed 'Plus, I have a better idea than facing some marine experts and making ridiculous stuff covering myself in shame, I have some honour to protect! I remind you my missing is save the world, not helping a bunch of mercenaries to win some cash in their free time!'
Thom flied in front of them for be sure they were listening.
'Actually what we should be doing is something which can help ME to go back to my village! Plus, I refuse to spend my time doing a shameful act in front of respectable and not so respectable professionals, even if it is for entertaining!'
He crossed his arms in clear disgust.
'Actually if we're going to spend our free time (like if we had), I vote for form a teenager pop band' He added 'The PRINCE said'

"The PRINCE can go lay an egg." Luca said as he pushed his way past Thom, and finally managing to get some distance between himself and Genki. "In case you haven't noticed, Thom, it costs quite a bit of money to get ourselves food and books and other sch things, and jobs have been rather slow lately. So if we don't get some money soon, we'll be broke. And being broke means no food."
At this point, Luca grabbed Thom by the wing and glared with all his might. "And I'm not going without food again." He then released him and kept walking, declining Genki's help.

Genki was not able to get closer to Luca for helping him, since she had not began moving when she was hit by Thom, who flew directly to Luca's face.
'DO NOT treat me like that, furryman!' He shouted to the half-werewolf in the face, showing his little but sharp tusks.
PP did a little jump, but not out of enthusiasm, this time of fear.
'Thommy, he wasn't trying to... ' He began.
'SHUT UP!' Thom shouted before turning to Luca 'Tell me, lil furry, how do you think to win money in a contest where everyone are professionals, umh? Stop contradicting yourself'
He ended his sentence with an acid terrible looking right into Luca's eyes, desafiant.
Genki looked at Thom and then to Luca.
'Hey, hey, shouldn't you calm down, mr. pride?' she growled 'Do not treat like that to my Luca!'
'Stop arguing!' PP whispered 'The important is have fun...!'

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...." Everyone stopped and looked around for the source of the growling sound. It was Luca, and he was baring his sharp teeth that were quite a bit larger than Thom's.
"Listen to me carefully, little man..." He snarled as he suddenly lashed out and stopped, his sharp claws inches from Thom's neck. "I'm going to say this once, and ONLY once. I am NOT a furry." He then put his face close to Thom's. "And while you may be a Prince, here, I am the ALPHA, and the key to your little quest. Besides, this money will go to a good cause, like keeping you from dying of STARVATION!" The last word was roared mere inches from Thom's ears before Luca backed off.
"So if you want to starve, feel free to whine more, Pup." With that, he stalked off, his features slowly becoming less and less animalistic.

Raised to be a brave prince, Thom did not even move aganist Luca's fierce atitude and barely crossed his arms over his chest when Luca walked away.
PP walked near Thom, happier.
'Come on, Thommy,do not be angry, sure we win!'
'No,sure we won't, PP. That is what Mr. Alpha doesn't understand' Thom disclaimed 'If he wants us to starve, we ARE in the road to it. He does not know to rule a group, and he won't take lessons of who was raised for it. THAT is the matter'
Genki looked badly at Thom before walking next Luca, grabbing some of the bags. For a second she did not know what to do,but she decided to put one of her huge arms on his shoulders.
'Do not mind him, my honeybun. He is 'royaly' proud' Genki whispered in his ear 'Those rainbows affected his brain, he's stupid'

"Genki, I don't need your sympathy..." Luca stopped in his tracks, shrugging off Genki's huge arm with a small amount of difficulty, sighing. "You're right, Thom. I don't now how to handle such a situation. And you WERE raised for it..." He then glared again, although this time it was much softer as he kept walking. "But if you have any actual EXPERIENCE in working a boat, I suggest you speak up now. If you do, I'll step aside and allow you to lead us."
"But if you don't...Then allow me to at least TRY to get us in some kind of team condition, so we can eat next month."

Genki frowned lightly but did not try again to get closer to Luca, she looked at Thom instead, like expecting to protect Luca if Thom acted badly, but it did not happen.
'I just say this is the wrong way to work. I would look other thing to do for gaining money. You suck at leading...' He looked at him relaxed '...I appreciate you accept it.... Yes, the prince said'
It would have been a noble moment if PP would not have been already dancing and singing with a nauseous Dragon in his arms.
'We will get that doctor kit, we will get a doctor kiiit...!'
[What if we do a time jump to later? The night before tomorrow (The regata), for example. I'll send you another idea by Personal Message]

((After this post, we'll skip.))
"Well, what do you suggest, Thom? We haven't gotten a job in months, and I'm not about to start robbing people for food money. This is really our only choice, unless you have something better in mind." He raised an eyebrow, before heading home. "Besides, who says we have to win fairly?" he said with a smirk.

...
Later, back in home, all was rather calm, the moon was bright and there were very few clouds in the sky so many stars gave its light to the window where inside there was so much darkness.
In middle of the quietude, though, there was no sleep mood for the prince, Thom, who was sat on the window and asleep, plus, he seemed to be deeply thinking about something.
