A/N: I kind of change it to be a bit more of Jeff and Annie going out to save Troy instead of the entire group. Also they assemble a different group to help them instead of their usual group. The ending is pretty generic in my opinion. Set Post Season 5.
Who the characters are based on:
Ciara Bravo as Ella Rumpskin
In Jeff and Hickey’s office, Jeff Winger and Buzz Hickey are busy grading papers.
“Remind me again how you convinced me to do this.” Jeff said as he stamps another paper with an A.
“Just remember. We get the whole weekend off if we do this now.” Hickey said.
Annie Edison walks into their office. Her face shows great concern as she holds a newspaper in her hand. Jeff notices this.
“Annie, what’s wrong?” Jeff asks.
Annie gives him the newspaper. He looks at it while Hickey leans in to see.
“Bear mauls kids at birthday party?” Jeff asks as he looks at the paper.
“At the bottom.” Annie said.
Jeff looks down at the bottom of the paper as he read aloud the headline, “Pirates captures Star Trek: The Next Generation star.” Jeff’s eyes widen as he starts reading the article in silence.
“What is this about?” Hickey asks.
“Troy and LeVar were captured by pirates.” Jeff said.
“Wait what!?” Hickey shouts in confusion.
“When Troy left for his journey, he had to be accompanied by someone to make sure he didn’t cheat. LeVar was his co-captain.” Annie said.
“And now they’re captured by pirates.” Jeff said as he tosses the paper on the desk with his papers. “What the hell are we going to tell Abed?” Jeff asks.
“We don’t tell him anything because we’re going to save Troy.” Annie said.
“What!” Jeff shouts.
“Are you serious?” Hickey asks.
“There is no way we can do that.” Jeff said.
“Yes, we can!” Annie said.
“No, we can’t. I’m sure the Coast Guard is looking for them.” Jeff said.
“Jeff! Did you even look at the date of the article?” Annie asks frustrated. “That article was a few months ago!” She said.
Jeff and Hickey’s eyes widen. “So they’re dead?” Jeff asks as his face deepens into sadness.
“That’s the thing. If they were dead, they would be all over the news. I think the pirates still have them.” Annie said.
“So even if they have them, we can’t just go out there and save them.” Jeff said.
“Actually…” Hickey said as he starts smiling.
“Oh, please don’t tell me you want to do this?” Jeff asks sarcastically.
“I have a friend in New Orleans that lets me borrow his yacht after I helped him with a case once. We can use the yacht, beat up some pirates and rescue our friends. All we need is a few more people for a crew.” Hickey said.
“I can’t believe we’re doing this.” Jeff said as he shakes his head in frustration.
“Jeff! He’s our friend! We got to do this.” Annie said.
Jeff looks at Annie for a moment and sighs. “Alright, but we are not getting the others involve. This is extremely dangerous and I don’t want any of them getting hurt.” Jeff said.
“Alright.” Annie said as she smiles at Jeff.
“So what kind of crew should we get?” Jeff asks Hickey.

Jeff, Annie and Hickey are in Group Study Room F. They are sitting around the Study Table Mark II, talking with Ella Rumpskin.
“You’re making a badass crew.” Ella said as she adjusts her pink glasses.
“A what?” Jeff asks.
“A-team, Expendables, Secret Avengers. I can go on and on with what you’re doing.” Ella said.
“Look, we need your help and we can’t bring Abed because of how personal this is.” Annie said.
“So are you in?” Hickey asks.
“Well, Troy is an important person to you guys and Abed but while I’m an alternate version of him. I don’t have that emotional attachment to Troy.” Ella said. “So what’s in it for me?” She asks.
“You get to meet LeVar Burton.” Jeff said.
“And get his autograph.” Annie said.
Ella thinks for a moment. “Okay, I’m in.” She said as she shakes Annie’s hand. “And I think I know the perfect people for the rest of your crew.” She said.
“If you say Eric and Leo, you’re sleeping in the crow’s nest.” Jeff said.
“Please, you know these guys very well.” Ella said as she smiles.

“So where’s the yacht at?” Leonard asks.
“Yo, you definitely need me for this yacht party. Pop. Pop.” Magnitude said.
Leonard and Magnitude stand in front of Jeff, Annie, Hickey and Ella. Jeff, Annie and Hickey set their sights on Ella. Ella smiles as she raises her arms motioning to them, what you’re going to do about it.
Jeff sighs as he addresses Leonard’s question. “It’s in New Orleans but we have to get there by tonight.” Jeff said.
“Awesome. We’ll get our stuff.” Leonard said. Leonard and Magnitude leave as Jeff shakes his head.
Annie places her hand on Jeff's back, confronting him. “Just think about the positive side to this. Leonard might meet his end to pirates.” She said smiling.
“This is not what I expect to spend my weekend doing.” Jeff said.

The crew that Jeff and Annie have established is sailing in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico on the yacht. Hickey is on the wheel of the yacht. Magnitude and Leonard are playing shuffleboard. Annie and Ella are getting a tan. Jeff is seating next to Annie wearing blue swim shorts. He is looks for any signs of a pirate ship through a pair of binoculars.
“Anything?” Annie asks. She is wearing a black bikini.
“Nothing so far.” Jeff said. He takes a moment to glance at Annie’s body.
“So that’s what Jenna means by your meaningful looks at each other.” Ella said. She is wearing a blue one piece swimsuit.
“Ella, don’t start doing an Abed.” Annie said.
“Fine.” Ella said. She stands up as she looks at the vast blue ocean. “I think I know how to attract these pirates' attention. Give me a moment.” She said. She walks off to the inside of the yacht.
“Personally, I think we had a better chance bringing Abed along.” Jeff said.
Suddenly loud music starts playing. Leonard, Magnitude, Hickey, Jeff and Annie cover their ears. Ella walks back out wearing earmuffs. In her hand are earmuffs for the rest of them. She starts passing off the earmuffs to them.
“What are you doing?” Jeff yells out loud.
Ella seems to hear him as she responses. “Attracting their attention.” She yells.
“What song is this?” Annie yells.
“That Pirates of the Caribbean song everyone likes.” Ella yells.
Jeff seems to hear her. “Your plan is to attract pirates with pirate music?” Jeff yells.
“If I was a pirate, I would so raid a ship with this music on.” Ella yells.
Annie notices something in the distance. She grabs Jeff’s binoculars. “Guys, I think it worked.” She yells as she looks off in the distance. Out in the distance, a pirate ship is sailing to the yacht.
“Ella, lower the music!” Jeff yells. Ella runs back inside the yacht. The music dies down. Everyone takes off their earmuffs. “Everyone, inside! Just like we planned.” Jeff said. Everyone quickly goes inside the yacht.

The pirate ship finally reaches the yacht. Pirates jump off onto the yacht with their cutlasses out. The pirates look around as one of them sees the door to the inside of the yacht. He motions to the rest to follow him. They creep to the door slowly. One of them kicks the door open. At that moment, shots of paintballs hits him in the face. He scowls in pain as he drops his cutlass. Another round of paintballs hit him as he goes down. Jeff and the crew run out of the yacht with paintball guns out. The pirates surround them. Ella notices their weapons.
“Something’s off.” Ella said.
“Yeah, we aren’t using real guns.” Hickey said.
“No. Not that. It’s 2014 and these pirates are using cutlasses.” Ella said. The pirates grind their teeth as they get ready to attack. “What kind of pirates do you see nowadays use that?” Ella asks.
Jeff thinks for a moment. “The ones you see in movies.” He said.
The pirates shout as they charge at them. “Stop!” A voice from the pirate ship yells out.
The pirates on the yacht stop they’re charge at them. Jeff and his group look up to the pirate ship as a lone figure walks up to the plank. Troy Barnes stands watching them. He is dress as a pirate captain.
“Troy?” Annie asks confuse by his appearance.
Troy looks down at them in surprise. “Jeff? Annie? What are you guys doing here?” Troy asks.

“It’s so good to see you guys again!” Troy said.
Jeff and his crew are on Troy’s pirate ship in his captain quarters. They are seated in front of Troy’s pirate desk. With them is LeVar Burton, who is also dressed as a pirate standing behind Troy.
“It’s good to see you too, Troy.” Jeff said. He looks around. “Umm, what’s going on here?” He asks.
“What?” Troy asks.
“We thought you were captured by pirates.” Annie said.
“Oh, that. Nah it’s cool. Apparently these guys are huge fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Reading Rainbow. We’ve just been cruising and hanging out with them. They even made me their captain.” Troy said. LeVar nods in agreement as he smiles at them.
“So wait, you’re not in grave danger?” Jeff asks.
“Nope.” Troy said.
Jeff groans. “Damn this weekend.” He said.
Troy looks at Jeff’s crew. “Say who’s the girl with the pink glasses?” He asks. “I feel like we met before.” He said.
“I’m Ella. Think of me like a sequel to Abed.” Ella said.
Troy nods as he understands what she means. “Speaking of which, how is Abed?” He asks.
“Still crazy, though he has a girlfriend now.” Leonard said.
“What!?” Troy shouts. A screech can be heard behind Jeff and his crew as a small monkey runs pass them by their seats as it climbs onto Troy’s chair. “Aww, Britta’s Boobs.” Troy said as he pets the monkey.
“Britta’s Boobs?” Annie asks.
“It was either that or Shirley’s.” Troy said. He continues petting the monkey.
“Right.” Jeff said sarcastically.
“So, Troy. I just wanted to ask, when are you going to come back to Greendale?” Annie asks.
Troy’s face turns serious. He let go of Britta’s Boobs as he stands up. “I’m not sure yet. My journey has only begun and I still not sure where I belong. As must as I miss it, I’m sorry but I can’t go back yet.” He said. The room is silent as Troy walks out.
“Say, LeVar. Can I have your autograph?” Ella asks.

It is night as Troy stands at the deck of his ship. Jeff and his crew are back on the yacht getting ready to return to land.
“So we’re just going to leave him?” Ella asks.
“There’s not left to do about it.” Hickey said.
“He isn’t in danger and he asked us to not worry about him. This is his path now.” Annie said.
“He’s grown so much.” Leonard said as he shed a tear.
“Pop. Pop.” Magnitude said in agreement.
Jeff looks on as Troy waves good bye to them. “Good luck, Troy.” He said softly to himself. Their yacht starts sailing away as they wave back to Troy.
Britta’s Boobs climb onto Troy’s back. Troy smiles at the monkey. He keeps his emotions in check as he walks to LeVar Burton on the steering wheel of the ship.
“Where to Captain Troy?” LeVar asks.
