Kai's POV

I am bored out of my mind. No snakes, ghosts, skeletons, or even nindroids (minus Zane). All we were doing was playing Fist to Face 2. Even though it's my favorite game, I still was bored of it.

"Let's go somewhere," I said.

"Ooh how about the beach!" Jay excitedly said. I froze. I hate to admit it, but I kinda have a severe case of hydrophobia.

"How about anywhere but the beach," I said.

"Aww come on Kai it's such a nice daky though," Nya said with puppy dog eyes. I forgot for a sec that I never told her that I hated water. Seeing it was an uphill battle I agreed. There was only one problem though, I don't own a bathing suit...

Jay's POV

"Did you see Kai's face when Jay mentioned the beach," Cole said.

"Yea, he looked like he saw a ghost," I said. I wonder why he seemed so unwilling. I mean, doesn't everybody like the beach?

"Is there something he hasn't told us?" Lloyd asked.

"Pixal said Kai's anxiety levels greatly increased at the the mention of it," Zane added.

"Maybe Nya will know why," I offered. We walked around the bounty and I noticed 2 things. One, it was VERY quiet. Two, Kai was nowhere to be found.

"Nya," I called. She turned and waved.

"What's going on?" She asked. Gosh her eyes are nice... Ugh Jay stop, focus.

"Do you know why Kai doesn't want to go to the beach," Cole asked. Nya sighed, "Kai never told, or tells me anything about himself, his emotions, his fears, so I wouldn't know anyways," she replied glumly.

"So I guess Kai is secretive, I just wouldn't have thought he'd keep things from Nya," Lloyd said.

"It's not his fault though," Nya said defensively.

"What do you mean," I slowly asked.

Nya's POV

Aw shoot. I totally just said more than I should've. Well, I've opened that can of worms, so now I have to answer.

"It's not his fault because he wants to protect me, you guys and himself. He always said he didn't have time to be sad because he'd drag you guys into his problems, and only be a nuisance," I said quickly.

"I sense you've had a conversation with Kai about this before.

"Well I sense if we don't hurry up he'll get suspicious," I said.

"Good point let's go," Cole said nodding. Kai may be miserable, but hey we're going to the beach, how cool is that!

Kai's POV

I am sitting on the highest point of the bounty. It's the only place on the boat I can think clearly. Why are you afraid of water? You're 6'2 and water is what you fear, you can stand in most of it for heavens sakes, I think. But nothing can make up for what water has done. It's the reason... Ugh I don't even want to think about it. The team will be looking for me so I hop down and catch myself with fire from my hands. I grab a towel, and put on red khaki shorts and a white muscle tank top.

"Well, here goes nothing nothing," I quietly say.
