    Summary

    Chip swallowed the pooling blood on his tongue and squeezed his brother’s arm, “I don’t regret it.”

    Dale tensed.

    “Dale, I don’t.”

    “It was supposed to be me,” he whispered, uncharacteristic anger and despair in his tone. “You took a blade not meant for you.”

    Chip scoffed, “It wasn’t ‘meant’ for anyone.”

    ***

    He didn't regret it. Not one second. He would do it again and again and again.

    Dale hadn't expected the knife to come at him. He hadn't moved out of the way.

    So Chip got in between.

    Now, trapped under a collapsed building, courtesy of an escaping Fat Cat, it's getting harder to stay awake.

    Chip does not regret what he did. Maybe it makes him selfish.

    And they don't hesitate to come get him. Because they care, just like he does. He'd do it again to protect Dale, or Gadget or Monty or Zipper.

    Even if he gets a hefty, tearful lecture at the end of it all.

    Summary

    Magica de Spell, captain of the Shadow Pirates, has ruled the seas as the cruelest, most notorious pirate around for close to two decades now, and Lena's about done with it all, to be honest. But when she and her best friend Violet jump ship to start their own pirate crew, picking up a trio of adventure-seeking Navy kids along the way, they realize that they're going to need a way to make some gold, and fast. And what better way to get rich quick than to capture and sell one of the long-lost mermaids?

    Meanwhile, Webbigail Vanderquack, sole heir to the Matriarch of the mermaids, is getting real tired of being cooped up in her stuffy ol' castle. What she wouldn't give to have some pretty, foreign wonder scoop her up and show her the world...
