"A ship?" asked Pocahontas. "Hmmm...never heard of it. What does it do?"
"I Liebe you, you're like a martian," erbse quoted her favourite movie Mean Girls. "A ship is what people use to travel across great masses of water. Think of it as a big version of your kanu only with servants and a buffet!"
"Wow, that sounds exciting!" Pocahontas replied. "Let's get a better look!" With that, Pocahontas, Pea, Conrad, Meeko and Flit left the lagoon and began to run through the forest. erbse noticed Pocahontas was running through the woods barefoot and warned her about ringworm but she didn't seem too concerned. They spied on several white men who were exiting the ship.
"Okay, who is the blonde hottie?" erbse smirked.
"I don't know but he's very intriguing," Pocahontas seemed entranced. Meeko ran out to see the handsome man, who in turn gave him a biscuit. Meeko looked towards the busch where they were hiding and showed off his treat. The man wondered if there was anyone back there and began to step towards them. erbse grabbed Flit and tossed him out of the bush. Flit was annoyed but understood it was his job to distract the blonde guy.
After an Stunde oder so of stalking the blonde man while he sang about the greatest adventure of all, erbse and Conrad began to wonder why Pocahontas was so intent on learning about him.
"Pea," whispered Conrad. "I don't know if Du realize it, but you're kinda stalking this guy which is actually frowned upon Von most societies."
Pocahontas didn't seem to care. She crept down towards the man who had just been washing his face with some water. She skipped across a stone and suddenly the man emerged from the fog and pointed his gun right at Pocahontas. From behind the tree, Conrad and erbse gasped in horror...but only for a moment. The man seemed to be Verzaubert Von Pocahontas' ethereal beauty. He lowered his weapon but she ran. erbse and Conrad followed the blonde man who was chasing her. Von the time they got to Pocahontas's canoe, Pocahontas and the man were sharing an intense moment. They held hands as leaves circled them. Suddenly, the man had received the same gift as erbse and Conrad. He could understand Pocahontas.
Hours passed while Pocahontas showed the blonde man, who introduced himself as John Smith, the wonders of nature and sang to him about acceptance of other cultures. erbse and Conrad decided to have some alone time of their own.
"I think they're really falling for each other," sagte Princess Pea, as she and Conrad walked along the river. "Isn't it romantic?"
"Yeah but there are gonna be some problems, I guarantee," Conrad responded sadly. "Think about it, Pea. Those settlers didn't come here to make friends. They brought weapons, they're obviously prepared to fight Poca's people. It's like Romeo and Juliet, doomed to be in Liebe with someone who is supposed to be your enemy."
"Well, I've never met these Romeo and Juliet people but I have a feeling things will turn out okay. I mean, true Liebe conquers all...doesn't it?"
"Maybe in fairy tales," Conrad replied. "But I have a feeling this isn't one."
Pea and Conrad returned to Grandmother Willow's and fell asleep Weiter to each other. erbse was shivering in her sleep so Conrad put his arms around her.
Time went Von and Conrad's prediction came true. There was to be a war. That night, in the forest, Pocahontas and John Smith finally shared a passionate kiss. This lead to Pocahontas' potential fiance trying to muder John whose geeky ginger friend ended up killing the potential fiance. Other Natives immediately captured John and carried him off as their prisoner. Pocahontas was devastated. erbse tried to comfort her in a less than helpful way.
"Pocahontas!" yelled Pea. "Are Du nuts? Du can't go around making out with hot white boys! Unless there was some tongue, then it was totally worth it."
"But Pea," replied the beautiful chief's daughter. "I Liebe John Smith! And even though Kocoum was killed, I can't help but think there is a better solution than violence. What am I going to do?"
"I don't know," erbse bit her nails. "Maybe we can stop this from happening. Look at John's compass! He must be the one your spinning-arrow-dream keeps pointing Du to! Run, Poca!"
"She's right," sagte Grandmother Willow. "You know your path, child, now follow it."
As Pocahontas ran away bravely hoping to stop John from being executed, Princess erbse wondered where Conrad had scurried off to.
"Hmm..." she wondered out loud. "Where the hell did that dork go now?"
Meeko, the annoying raccoon ran towards her and tried to communicate.
"I don't speak raccoon!" erbse yelled at the fuzzy creature.
"Pea!" sagte Grandmother Willow. "Meeko is telling Du that Conrad has been captured Von the tribe and is to be executed alongside John Smith!"
"NO!" erbse cried. "It can't be! I have to go help Pocahontas, but she's gone...and I-I don't even know where they are. A-And what if they decide to kill me as well? Oh God, I'm too young and beautiful to die!"
"Pea, I think Du know what Du must do," Grandmother Willow answered. "There's only one person who you've ever truly understood. One person who your herz belongs to..."
"You're right," erbse sighed. "I have to risk it all for Conrad...I love him."
