Basic description of Julienne: 5'8, curly brown hair, blue eyes, light complexion. Lilah has about same skin, light brown hair, and greenish eyes. Carolina is short and has tan skin. Brown eyes, I believe. Sorry I forgot to add that in the story.
Julienne sat on the deck of the cruise ship with her friends, watching the sunset. She held up her glass of Diet Coke.
"Here's to finally being able to afford a cruise ship, and being done with freshman year!" she toasted.
Everyone agreed, and drank their fizzy soda.
A head popped out of the water to watch. Garth had been quietly observing his secret love, Julienne, all week, hoping when she docked, maybe he'd have the courage to ask her out.
Julienne's POV
"Isn't the sunset great?" I asked my group of friends.
"Yeah, it's really cool," said Carolina.
"It would be better if I had Roy Harper," said Lilah. I facepalmed.
Leaning over the railing, looking out to the sea, I felt at home. Being on a gently rocking boat, feeling the ocean breeze, salt water spraying in my face, I felt relaxed.
Lilah quickly tapped my shoulder, speechless, and pointed at the water behind me. I turned and saw ripples, like as if something had just been there.
"What was it?" I asked Lilah.
"Didn't you see- oh, well, it must have just been my imagination…" she said.
"Well, I'm going back to my room," I said to her. "Just come get me if you need me."
I shut the door behind me and plopped on my bed, staring over at my Teen Titans poster. Wondergirl, Kid Flash, Speedy, Robin, and Aqualad. Around Aqualad, I had drawn many little hearts. He was a minor figure in the poster, because not many people like him, but on my poster, all the attention is on him.
On the other side of my bed, there was a poster featuring just Aqualad. He didn't look as heroic as the posters of Robin, Speedy, or any other of the Teen Titans, but I love him anyways.

Lilah's POV:
OMG I could have sworn I saw Aqualad looking out of the water. I probably just imagining it though. I know Julienne has a massive crush on him, and she's powered, so I don't know why she wouldn't just join the Teen Titans. She might meet Aqualad for herself.
She could also attract his attention by publicicizing her gift. Cryptid transformation isn't all that different from Beast Boy's power of animal transformation, so she might even be invited into the Titans.
The only reason I didn't tell Julienne what I saw was that I didn't want to get her hopes up, only to be crushed if he didn't come back.
I'd tell Julienne about anything else that I saw. If I saw a giant orange pancake with wings being driven by an alien through the sky, I'd tell her. But I don't want to feel bad if she gets depressed from Aqualad not coming back.

Julienne's POV
I got up the next morning at about 7:00 AM- Much earlier than most of my friends would be awake. I walked over to the front part of the yacht to do a little yoga to get energized for the day.
When I got there, I saw a large clump of…something. It was in the ocean. I was amazed by what I saw- A giant clump of seaweed in the shape of a heart! But what is less romantic than sargasso? It must be a freak of nature.
I went to go grab my camera phone, but when I returned, it was gone. I guess the ship already passed it.

Garth's POV
I'm so stupid! Why did I make a heart out of seaweed, of all materials in the ocean? Why didn't I get fish to arrange themselves in a heart to show my affection? Why not carve a shell and throw it over? Why didn't I just appear myself? I'm such a wimp, like Wally always tells me I am…
Julienne's POV
That was so weird. I didn't tell anyone about the seaweed, not even my best friend, Lilah. She'd probably tell me I was hoping too hard for Aqualad to like me (Or at least know I exist), so I thought a random clump of seaweed looked like something he'd put together.
But if it was Aqualad, I'm sure it would have been more romantic. I'm sure he'd come out himself, or if he was too busy fighting crime, he'd leave a note or something….
