Chapter One: The Island
Neri is asleep in her little cabin that Jason had made her even though she misses staying in her nest. But the cabin does keep her dry from the rain which Jason wanted. Suddenly, Neri wakes up from a dream that she was having. She was dreaming about becoming princess of her planet and having to say goodbye to her mom (Queen Shalamorn) , and Mera. She just found out that her mother was alive and having to say goodbye so quick like that was awful to her. She had miss her mother so much that she was extremely happy to see her alive. But she knows that one day, they will see each other again.
Neri is still living on the island. The bates family had offered her to move on ORCA with them when her mother and sister left because they didn't want her to be by herself, but she declined. She couldn't imagined living anywhere else than her island because it will always be her home. She still thinks they are a lot more things to discover on the island and still trying to achieve her father's wishes. She wants to watch out for the ocean and all the beautiful things that live there. She knows she will always have help with her two best friends, Jason and Brett.
Neri thinks her island is so beautiful and so does everyone else that visits it. She adores all the scenic around her and enjoys every minute of it. She loves to go to the reef with all of her friends to just talk and hang out. She has so many fond memories tied to the island. She had so many discoveries there and many more to come. She remembers finding her spaceship there where she found a device that was from her father that told her about his mission. She has always promised that she will do it no matter what it takes.
All of a sudden, her mind drifts to thinking about Jason. He has been with her every step of the way to do what her father wanted. He is her confident and knows she can tell him everything that is on her mind and he can do the same thing to her. Lately, her feelings toward Jason has been changing. But, she doesn't know how to act around him because she nevered felt like this towards anyone before. Jason and Brett are the only two boys that she has ever met. Neri is always wondering if Jason might feel the same way about her or does he just think of her as a friend.
"I hope Jason comes by today," Neri thought to herself while getting excited about the thought of seeing him today.
"He has not been here for a couple of days," Neri thought, wondering if anything was wrong. "I hope he is not
mad at me about something," Neri thought while running her toes in the sand getting nervous not knowing what to think. "He is probably just been busy on ORCA. He might come today."
Neri just wants to see if Jason feels the same way. It is hard to tell because he always acts normal and she can't tell what he is thinking.
"I wish I had someone to talk about this with, but I don't," Neri thought while taking a sip of water. Neri doesn't want anybody to find out about her feelings toward Jason. She is a little too embarrassed and Neri also doesn't want Jason to find out right now until she is sure what it all means.
Neri decides to think about something else. To try and get her mind off of that for now. She decides to go for a swim with Charley. She enjoys swimming with Him. She tries to have time for Charley. She jumps out of the bunker so she can go find him. She runs down to the beach as fast as she can with her brown wavy hair bouncing back and forth.
'Charley, Come here," she calls out so he can hear while standing at the edge of the water.
Charley sang to her to let her know that he is coming and off he goes to her.
Neri can't wait until she sees Charley. He makes her happy every time she is worried about something.
Charley always gets so excited when he spots Neri especially since she is the only one that can understand him.
Charley comes speed ahead right towards her.
Neri runs to the ocean and leaps forward right into the water as soon as she spots Charley. She swims right to Charley, who is waiting for her to come. She is extremely happy when ever she is with him. He makes her relaxed when she is downed about something. She just wants to take her mind off of everything and to have a good time. Her and Charley take off for their morning swim.
