JENNA'S LIFE

CHAPTER 1: The Start of the Romance

"Jenna, c'mon,tell us!" Sheba said with a grin. Mia sat forward, awaiting the answer. Jenna's face was pink,and it had been for the past five minutes.

"W-well...IlikeIsaac!! There, I said it!" Jenna blurted out.

"Isaac! I knew it!" Mia exclaimed. "Sheba, who do you like?"

"Meeeeee? I like Felix....those eyes....the hair....his--"

"ENOUGH!" said Jenna. "Mia, we're waaaaaiting!"

"Piers! I like Piers! He's got blue hair, he's tall, agile, cute...and trustworthy!"

"Mind if I interrupt your girl talk?" Isaac stuck his head into the room.
"Isaac! We...er...um..." What should I say?! Jenna thought frantically. Her face was bright red. "W—what do you need?"

"Just wondering if I could borrow your Masamune, Jen," Isaac said, smiling that mischievous smile that Jenna loved.

"My Masamune sword? Sure." She pulled the sword from her belt and handed it to Isaac—hilt first, sheath and all.

"I don't need the sheath," said Isaac, starting to hand it back to her.

"No! Keep it...I don't want you to hurt yourself," she said quickly, shoving it back at him. When she did, their hands touched, and Jenna's face retrieved the bright red color it had previously lost. Isaac didn't seem to notice.

"Okay, whatever you say," he said smiling again as he left the room. Once he had left, Jenna whirled around and grabbed Sheba by the shoulders.

"Did you see?! He smiled at me! TWICE!! And he wanted to borrow MY sword!" Jenna fell backwards onto the bed, where she grabbed a fluffy white pillow and squeezed it, as if she were pretending it was Isaac or something. Sheba and Mia looked at each other and giggled. The door opened again.

"Jenna? Garet and me need you on the top deck," Isaac said, rubbing an injured left arm.

"Sure, I'll come, but what the heck happened to your arm? Your eye?!"

"Oh, that. It's nothing..." Isaac smiled, and Jenna shot a look at Sheba that plainly said, "Three times! Ha!" Sheba smiled back.

Once Jenna had followed Isaac upstairs, she stood petrified to the wood of the deck. Garet was twirling one of her bras around his finger.

"You..." The words that followed were all curses, some of which Isaac didn't even know existed. "...DRAGON FUME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jenna finished, burning Garet to a crisp.

"Is that why you wanted my sword? To beat up Garet because he stole my bra?" Isaac flinched at the "b-word" but managed to nod.

"Basically. See, we were arguing about who was best for you, and we each set out to prove it to the other person. He snuck into your room sometime and took that, I got your sword, before knowing he'd swiped it, and came up there, and voila! We're locked in combat!"

"Y-you mean...you got that black eye...you sprained your wrist...for ME?" All poor Isaac could manage was a nod. "Oh..."

"DINNER!!!" Piers yelled from below-decks. Garet mysteriously disappeared, Jenna bolted, and Isaac took his time, trying not to lose his sanity. When he finally arrived in the eating area of the ship, the only open seat was next to Felix.

"Crap," Isaac muttered, and thought: Oh well. Maybe I can ask him about going out with Jenna.

"Felix." Isaac spoke in a clipped tone that immediately told Felix that he meant business.

"Isaac." Felix was curious, but he kept his voice level.

"This might not be the best time to ask, but—"Isaac began, but Felix smiled.

"You want to go out with Jenna, don't you?"

"Ssshhh!! I don't want everyone to know just yet!!" Isaac looked at his friend urgently. Felix blinked as he thought over the matter.

I could let him go out with Jenna, and then decapitate him when he does something that I don't like. Or I could refuse, and make him suffer. But Isaac's a friend, and I trust him...and I think Jenna's ready for a boyfriend.

"Okay, you can go out with her. But you do one thing that she doesn't like and you're asking to get beheaded by a Sol Blade. The same happens if you do something I don't like. Got it?" Felix had ice in his voice.

"Th-thank you so much!" stammered Isaac.

"Mm-hm...oh, and Jenna made the pizza. Almost burned the ship to cinders," Felix said before gulping down a gigantic mouthful of coffee.

"Jalapeño pepper overload. Wonderful," Isaac said, already beginning to feel the burning in his mouth.

"Actually—"Felix paused to swallow "—she didn't put any on today, it's just pepperoni." Isaac blinked, then helped himself to two large slices.

"So Jenna—"Isaac turned to the Mars Adept at his left "—I heard you made the pizza."

"Yeah. You like it?"

"It's actually pretty good."

"I made it with just pepperoni because Sheba told me you don't like Jalapeño peppers." Jenna smiled sweetly. iI hope he doesn't ask me how Sheba found out./i Isaac's face burned as Jenna's words sank in. Felix smirked, having heard the whole conversation.

This is hilarious...his face is bright red. Wish I had a Polaroid or something...

"Hey," Felix elbowed Isaac in the ribs, and Jenna turned back to Sheba.

"Oww! What?" Isaac looked toward the Venus Adept with something between anger and annoyance burning in his blue eyes.

"I could arrange for you to meet her on the deck tonight," Felix said with a grin. Whatever emotion had been reflected in the blue orbs quickly disappeared.

"R-really? You'd do that...for me?" Isaac was stunned. iDoes he want something? Or is he really being sincere?/i

"Sure. She's gonna take a shower after dinner—she always does, you know—but maybe I could send her up to the top deck after that?"

"F-Felix—that'd be great!!" Enthusiasm was written clearly all over Isaac's pale face. A loud thud followed the exclamation. Isaac jumped to his feet, mostly in the interest of protecting Jenna. Fortunately for both of them, Ivan—you know how he is once he gets hold of coffee—had fallen backwards in his chair. Isaac sat down and once again turned to Felix.

"Is there anything I can do for you? In return?"

"Nah...All I want is Jenna's safety." Felix shook his head.

I guess he really was being sincere, then. Probably better that he was, thought Isaac with a slight smile.

---------------------------------------------

"Garet, please... do this for me." Isaac looked at his red-headed friend. "I—I'll pay you!"

Garet looked suspiciously at Isaac. "How much?"

Isaac lifted his hands. "Whatever you want...as long as it's in my budget."

Isaac has a budget? Garet smirked. "Fine. I'll do it...10,000 coins."

"Oh, thanks, Garet—you're the best. And uh, I'll pay you AFTER I've made sure you followed my orders."

"Sure."

"So go check now! And if she tells you she's almost done, come back up here and report to me immediately! Understood?"

"Yes sir!" Garet saluted his blond friend with a grin, and went below to go yell at Jenna.

----------------------------------------------------

Yay me! I did it! RATE! NOW!

Jenna: Why is he yelling at me?

You'll see....
