A/N: New story! This is an AU that starts near the end of the Captured episode. It's supposed to be mainly funny, and chapter length and styles will vary greatly, depending on how the chapter feels. It will follow the course of the canon episodes, along with some new adventures. If you have anything you want to see in future chapters, just let me know!

Finn wasn't having a good day.

In retrospect, Fontiane probably wasn't expecting Finn to take her "your can be sorry, or you can be a pirate" statement seriously. Never mind choosing the "sorry" route.

Too bad Finn hadn't realized that about fifteen minutes earlier… before he'd made his decision… out loud… where his father could hear him. And would it have been too much for the Nektons to believe him?

Instead, Ant had dumped Finn outside the Aronnax and closed the Moon Pool, locking Finn outside with the pirates -and family- that he had just said he wanted nothing more to do with.

Hammerhead knew Finn too well to not believe what Finn had said and very loudly announced that Finn was free to go. Well, maybe not "free to go" more like "get out of my sight" and a declaration that Finn was now an enemy to the Dark Orca.

With returning to the Dark Orca too dangerous -not that Finn really wanted to, he'd always wanted to leave, just not like this- and the Nektons having cut communications, Finn didn't have many options. He barely made it between the prop covers and hull of the Aronnax before both subs were speeding off in separate directions.

Finn hunkered down as the Aronnax picked up speed, mind spinning for an idea on what to do next. All he could come up with was to just wait until the Aronnax stopped, then maybe try to convince the Nektons to let him aboard.

Finn glanced at his oxygen gauge. If they'd surface within two hours, that would be great, too.
