Hiya guys, due to requests, I decided to go with the idea for a sequel that I had. I'll try not to make the paragraphs so long this time, and this will not only focus on furthering Jenna and Isaac's relationship, I'll be building up some Lighthouseshipping as well. I might even throw in some steam if I feel like it.
Oh, and the reason why it took me so long to start writing again is because I've been playing Star Ocean 3. I just recently beat it and working towards the post-game dungeons, but I find that I have time to work on this story now. I really should be getting started on my summer homework right about now, but this sounded more fun, so I'm gonna procrastinate like always.

Anyway, without further ado, here's three little words.

Chapter 1: The One That Didn't Get Away
Three little words, on their own have little meaning, but when arranged in a specific order, have deep and powerful meaning. Change one word in that order to a different one, and you still get a deep and powerful meaning, but it of an opposite meaning. Careful who you say either collection of words to, as you may end up in an undesired situation….
Isaac glared down at the water beside the ship. He had been perched there for a couple hours now, fishing rod in hand. To his right, was a bucket filled with water, and nothing else.
"Yo! Any luck yet Isaac?" Isaac turned his head toward Garet, who was on the other side of the ship doing the same thing he was: trying to catch dinner.
Isaac shook his head in disappointment. Garet frowned, "What about you Felix?"
"Nothing here either." Felix was on a different side of the ship than the others. He seemed awfully irritated.
"Who's the moron who forgot about the food!" Piers kicked a nearby barrel. He was on another side of the ship, and he was about ready to snap.
"Hey, hey! Calm down a bit Piers. You gotta remember that so much was happening at the time." Ivan pleaded with the Mercury adept. Ivan was put in charge with steering the ship, while the four warriors tested their patience and wits with an ancient past time: fishing.
However, they weren't doing this for recreation. They had no choice, they had departed without bringing an ample supply of food. Amidst all the chaos that was caused by Isaac and Jenna, they had forgotten the most important part of the preparation.
Isaac looked around at the others with a somber look on his face. "I'm sorry…"
Piers suddenly jerked up, "Hey, hey, don't worry about it! It's no big deal, it's just these darn fish aren't biting!" Ever since Isaac ran off into the woods in Contigo, everyone was worried that he might do something reckless.
Isaac turned his attention towards his fishing pole and closed his eyes for a moment. They've all been acting weird lately. They're being way too nice. They couldn't think I'd… go off like that again? Nah, it's probably just my imagination.
Isaac felt something jerk on his pole (that sounds wrong doesn't it?), and instantly snapped out of his thoughts. "Hey! I got something!" Isaac gave a little tug on his pole (don't even…) to securely hook the fish, and began to reel it in.
Isaac felt huge resistance on the pole as he tried to reel it in. Whatever it was, it was massive! The resistance became a bit too much for Isaac, as it almost pulls him overboard.
Witnessing this, Garet, Felix, and Piers rush over to his aid. "1... 2... 3... PULL!" Felix yelled out the order. The four adepts combined their massive strength, and the fish was yanked out of the water.
They all watched in awe, including Ivan, as the fish flew over the four warrior's heads and plopped down on to the deck, flailing about. The fish must have been at least ten meters in length, and four in width.
Piers finally broke the silence, "This will feed us for days!" The other three continued to gaze at the massive catch; completely dumbstruck. Piers was at the point of excitement where tears started to emerge from his eyes. There were hints of drooling from the other three.
Isaac finally snapped out of it after about two minutes, "Gee, these mythril fishing rods were an awesome idea…" He began to stare at his fishing rod. He looked around at Felix and put a hand on his shoulder.
Felix turned his head toward his fellow Venus adept to see his grinning face, "Well, I think we should let those three down there know that they can finally start getting to work now."
Garet was the last to snap out of his hypnosis, "They've been down there for a long time." He put his hand up to his chin, and laid his other arm across his body in the cliché thinking pose. "Wonder what they're doing."
Isaac's eyes widened as a mischievous thought popped up into his head, "They might be plotting something against you, Garet."
"What! Why me!" a worried look spread across Garet's face like a tidal wave.
Isaac held up his shoulders as if shrugging and suggested in a mellow tone, "Why don't you tell me? Last time I checked, Mia was pretty upset with you. I overheard them talking about paying you back somehow. Why don't ya go stop them?" Isaac put his hands behind his back, and crossed his fingers.
At that moment, Garet darted below deck. Isaac winked at Felix and Piers, who in turn started to burst out laughing.
As if on cue, Garet ran back up on deck frantically; his hair was on fire and he was yelling, "Put it out! Put it out!" Isaac, Felix, Piers, and Ivan roared with laughter. "C'mon guys this isn't funny! Piers c'mon, help a guy out!" He was running across the deck trying to reach the fire, but his hair was standing up too tall for him to reach.
Piers was laughing too hard to aim his psynergy. [Douse] Miss. [Douse] Another miss. [Douse] Everything is a miss! Between laughs Piers managed a few words, "Sorry… Garet… Laughing… Too… Much…"
"Someone help!" Garet yelped, tears filling his eyes. Yet, he wasn't crying as badly as Felix, Isaac, Piers, and Ivan; they were still hysterically laughing and tears streamed down their eyes.
Again, as if on cue; [Douse] Mia, Jenna, and Sheba walked up on deck, giggling uncontrollably.
Garet let out a sigh of relief, as he pushed his hair away from his eyes. The water had put his hair down, covering his eyes. "That wasn't funny, not at all." He stormed down below the deck once more.
Jenna ran up to Isaac and lunged into his arms. "Isaac!" She seemed to be crying, but Isaac could tell she was faking. Her laughter in between sobs gave it away.
"Aww… Jenna, was dumb ol' Garet being mean to you again?" Isaac said in a cutesy voice, stroking her hair gently while pulling her in closer.
"Yeah, that's why I set his hair on fire." Jenna looked up and grinned at the blond Venus adept. She loved the way he smiled, the way his sapphire eyes seemed to gaze into her soul, pulling her in.
Isaac warmly smiled back. Jenna turned her head, and jumped at what she saw. "Eep!" Jenna pointed at the monstrosity that was now laying motionless in the middle of the deck. "What is that!"
"You didn't see it before? Gee, am I really that handsome that you can be oblivious to a monster fish?" Isaac teased.
"Oh, stop it!" color filled in her cheeks as she playfully pushed Isaac away.
Isaac wrapped his arms around Jenna once more and said, "Just like that fish over there, you're the one who didn't get away." Isaac smiled warmly and pressed his lips against hers.
They pulled away after a few moments, "I love you." Jenna's eyes had a sparkle in them, one that sent a tingling feeling through Isaac's whole body.
"I love you too Jenna." A large grin spread across Isaac's face.
"Oh, would you two get a room?" Mia rolled her eyes.
The couple turned their heads to look at Mia. "Aww, you feeling lovesick, sis?" Isaac grinned at her suggestively.
"Wh-what are you talking about!" Mia's eyebrows became slanted as she glared at Isaac.
Isaac instantly put his hands up in front of him in defense. This reaction has been automatic whenever anyone got mad at him. The person who made his body to react this way at first was none other than Jenna, whenever she got mad at him when they were younger. Of course she still occasionally gets angry at him, but ever since they reunited, Jenna has been unusually level headed.
"Oh uh n-nothing!" Isaac grinned nervously.
Mia rolled her eyes again, "C'mon Sheba, help me cut up this fish so we can bring it back into the kitchen."
No answer.
"Sheba?"
No answer.
Mia turned around to face Sheba, who was currently on Felix's back ruffling his hair. Felix seemed to be indifferent to this, but secretly, behind that stoic shell, he was enjoying every moment of it immensely.
Mia sighed, and looked up at the sky. She felt the sun's rays hit her face, warming her entire body, while the wind blew, her hair flowing like water into the sea breeze. "Typical."
Garet eyed her as the wind blew through her hair. Wow. That one word clubbed Garet's mind violently. Garet continued to gaze at her mindlessly, her cerulean hair mesmerized him.
Piers nudged Garet's elbow and snickered, "Heh, I see what's going on here."
Garet reeled back, surprised that Piers caught him staring at Mia. "Huh?" Garet tried to play dumb, but Piers easily saw through him.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anybody." Piers' eyebrows raised up and down, suggestively.
At this point Garet started to frantically deny what Piers saw, repeatedly saying in different words that he was just spaced out staring off into space. Eventually, Garet started to chase Piers, Tom and Jerry style.
As Garet made a ruckus up on deck, Kraden emerged from the inside of the ship. "What's all this racket out here?"
Ivan face palmed himself as he couldn't help but speculate. He continued to watch the couple having their lovey-dovey moment, Mia just sitting there enjoying the scenery, Sheba trying to get Felix to notice her while he pretends to not care, Kraden standing there; clueless to what is going on, and Garet chasing down Piers.
Ivan sighed. When is it gonna be someone else's turn to steer?
On hiatus until I have the time and inspiration to write. With school and all it's pretty tough. But I'll update as soon as possible. Thanks for reading guys! Chapter 2 is about half finished by the way... hahaha.
