There was a slight breeze aboard the lemurian ship that night. There were eight people taking residence on that ship who had extraordinary powers. A young boy exited from the cabin first. His blue hair was caught by the wind and he held it back. His name was Picard, a mercury adept. The other mercury adept on board was Mia, a young girl with long blue hair and eyes. She joined Picard at the railing near the bow of the ship. Two Jupiter adepts giggled as they secretly climbed up the mast into the crow's nest, Ivan and Sheba. Both had short blonde hair and were the youngest of everyone. Another boy with auburn hair named Garet raced out as a girl with same coloured hair chased after him with a frying pan. She was Jenna and along with Garet was Mars adepts. The Earth adept yawned as he strolled out and took a seat near the stern of the boat. He enjoyed peeling potatoes by himself, which was just plain odd. He was Felix, Jenna's brother. Last but not least Isaac, another Earth adept, came out onto the deck.

"This is it" he swallowed.

He had made a promise to himself. He was finally going to do it. He secretly longed for the mercury adept Mia but was always too shy to admit it to her. He wanted to speak with her alone. Tonight was the night, he planned. He found her at the bow of the ship talking to Picard. He sighed. It seemed as if almost everyone had found a partner to be with. Mia and Picard at the front of the ship seemed happy enough, even though Isaac didn't like it. His long time friend Garet had found Jenna who he flirted with constantly. They were standing at the right side of the ship. And if Isaac was not mistaken he might of seen Garet kiss her at that very moment.

"Ugh" Isaac thought. Even his little friend Ivan had found Sheba. They were perfect for each other, which he had to admit, sitting up there all cozy like in the crow's nest. Everyone had found someone. Everyone except him. He peeked to the back of the ship to see Felix staring at him.

"Wh-why you staring at me?" Isaac asked.

"No reason" he commented going back to peeling potatoes.

Well yeah, Felix didn't have anybody either, but he didn't count.

"Well, no time like the present" he said strolling out.

Isaac placed himself so that he could see Mia without her seeing him. He watched the two, waiting for the chance when Picard left. If he left. The two mercury adepts stood leisurely by the railing. They seemed to be enjoying some sort of conversation. Isaac thought to himself what he was going to say to her when he got the chance.

"Hey Mia I-I really like you? Aw, no way. Mia, how's it going? By the way I love you. Ah! That's not good enough."

Then he began thinking of what could go wrong.

"What if she says she doesn't feel the same? What if she doesn't say anything at all? What if she was interested in Picard instead?! "

It was then that he saw Picard lean in and kiss her. Isaac burned up. He immediately ran for it as fast as he could. He found himself at the back of the ship again.

"She's not interested. It's obvious, why shouldn't two mercury be together? They're perfect, so are Jenna and Garet and Ivan and Sheba. Oh! Now all I got is stupid ol' Felix" Isaac began sobbing into the railing.

"What did you say?" asked Felix sarcastically.

Isaac had forgotten all about Felix sitting there. "I mean nothing."

Too bad Isaac had stayed around because he would have been relieved. Right after Mia had pushed away from Picard.

"Picard no, I'm sorry. I just don't like you that way" Mia backed away. "It's not you, you're just not my type."

"That's what all the ladies say after they've been with the Picard Master" Picard said. He had a very big ego. "I don't care. Maybe I can hook up with that Jenna girl" he smiled. "I know who you're after. It's that Isaac kid isn't it?"

"Not so loud!" Mia urged him. "I don't want to tell him yet". Mia paused for a minute. "And Jenna? She's with Gare- aw, not important, just don't tell Isaac."

"Well you like him dontcha? Why don't you just get it over with? Who knows, maybe he has a thing for you too" Picard answered. "You may be surprised."

"Isaac? No way, could he? He might. He did make those weird eyes again at dinner. Or maybe he just had something in his throat. Aw, no way" Mia thought.

"Well anyway I'm heading in now. The sea air makes me queasy" Picard said walking off.

"But you're a mercury adept" said Mia. "How's that?"

"Who knows. You'll never know until you ask questions. Just take my advice Mia. Isaac's a good guy. Tell him while you have the chance. He may not be around forever you know" Picard said climbing back inside.

"What? That didn't answer my question. How can a mercu-" she stopped. "Aw nevermind."

Mia blew a strand of hair out of her face. "Maybe I should? What's the worst that could happen? He could reject me. I could see that. The way he looks at me strangely when we're fighting. I can tell he doesn't want me around. Stupid Isaac."

Mia walked back inside to her cabin. It was getting late and she was fed up of being outside. Isaac had just then got back inside after giving Felix a speech about "Why he isn't stupid". "Stupid Felix" he thought. He bumped into Mia in the hallway.

"Ah, sorry Mia" he said blushing. "Go on Isaac do it!" he instincts told him. "Now's your chance!"

"No problem" Mia replied. "Come on Mia. Just tell him. He's right there! Go for it!"

Both of them sighed before wishing each other goodnight. They each entered their rooms on opposite sides of the hallway.

"He doesn't care. I knew it" Mia thought. "She doesn't care. I knew it" Isaac thought.
