A.N.: Finally! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish this and have to start all over again! A tiny writer's block and a few activities stood in my way. But now... mwahahaha! :) Enjoy!
P.S.: Almost forgot to mention, my OC is NOT going to be paired up with our favourite Jimbo, he's too damn good for her! (I've chosen the genres "Friendship" and "Humour" for a reason ya' know...):P Maybe a few fangirls but nothing too serious. XD
Disclaimer: THIS IS PURELY FAN-MADE!!
She was bored. Her study session was a pain and she wasn't in the mood for studying. They had a big test next week on… bipolar… or was it solar… mechanisms? She huffed in annoyance. Whatever…
As much as she wanted to prove herself and demonstrate her independence to her family, as well as to all those around her, some of the courses at the Academy were a tad too much. She combed her unruly fringes with her fingers (her mother would've cringed if she ever saw her) as she kept searching for something to do. Besides studying…
Suddenly it clicked. That human boy. She hasn't seen him since the end of their classes that day. Who knows where he might be.
She grinned. Maybe she'll have the chance to see him do something interesting. That would surely make her boredom wear off. She glanced at her golden wristwatch and frowned. She'd better go find him, seeing as they had only two more hours until the campus closed. No kidding, the campus was huge; it would most likely take some time for her to be able to find her odd classmate. Not to mention the fact that she was really bored. It would take more than ten minutes of entertainment to make her feel better so she could be at peace with the rest of the world.
Her head shot up as she got off her bed, ignoring her notebooks spread all over the sheets. She hastily put on her shoes and tried to not run down the halls but then she remembered that she thought rules are stupid and constricting so she made herself not to care. She still walked towards her destination but a bit faster than before. She took a bit of satisfaction from that simple fact.
Okay now, time to start searching!
He sighed tiredly after laying his eyes on his assignment once more. He had just entered the library after spending three long hours in the workshop working on his new projects he came up with for his free time. Free time… He blew a few unruly brown strands away from his eyes as he suddenly felt very tired. And bored…
As much as he appreciated Captain Amelia's recommendation, the fact that he had entered the Academy after the school year has already begun was quite a drawback. He already missed the first year, in which he would have learned the basics of his courses. Now he had to study twice as much as the rest… He tried to stifle a groan while rubbing his eyes. The workshop was constantly in semi-darkness and, as much as he enjoyed spending his time there working on his latest ideas, getting in and out of there was tiresome for the human eye.
Someone suddenly coughed. Which somehow sounded more like a snort... What the hell? He tried to shake away those sort of thoughts, they were just distracting him from his study session. Those kinds of things weren't unusual anyway, so he shouldn't be surprised; after all, the Interstellar Academy's students were from across the entire galaxy and even beyond. But still, it did not mean that he felt totally at ease and familiar with this place. How could someone make a sound like that? He chuckled to himself and shook his head. He couldn't help the fact that there were just about five other humans there though… After all, this place was for the best of the best.
But –as he recalled- it was not all that hard. Quite a lot of things they were taught in their advanced classes were surprisingly easy, not to mention boring. He knew how to tie and secure all the knots on a ship; he knew how to mend a solar sail, how to tie or release it; he knew how to use the main controls of a ship and longboats; he knew almost everything there was to know about sailing. Almost…
If there was one thing he did not know much about, it was theory. The blueprints of the main structure of an external engine (and there were about three of those only), all of the components of the main engine, the wire panels with each cable's place, as well as the names and definitions for each and every one of them… Those definitions, classifications, observations, notes and all that, despite not being very practical, he had to learn them. He could adapt, he could repair or replace certain parts to make it all work but it was all linked to what he had learned during all those years of solar surfing, building his own board from scratch, as well as those few months he had worked as a cabin boy while searching for Flint's Treasure Planet.
But that was all. His experience, curiosity and creativity with machineries were all he had. To him, those were the reasons why he was able to understand at least half of what his courses were all about. But the rest was…
Ugh, just give me a break… he squeezed his tired eyes shut and pushed away as far as he could the book with the odd-looking diagrams about the full and average capacities of some semi-simplified coal-based engine. At least Morph doesn't have to worry about all these things. He just floats around, giggling and hiding, taking away my books at every chance he…
His head shot up. Morph… Where was he?? Oh no… He was exasperated to the point of depression right now. Hell no, it can't be… It was a nightmare. He wasn't supposed to keep pets; and if a rare creature such as a morph would be found… You've got to be kidding me! He ran towards the exit, his intent to study going down the drain.
Morph, you are in so much trouble!
Again, nothing goes as planned. Meh. Like the first time, it became longer than I expected so I had to cut it in half.
I thank you all for reviewing my previous chapter, I've taken your opinions into consideration. :) Constructive criticism is always welcome but please don't flame.
I hope we'll have fun with this story and have patience when it comes to mistakes. Please smack me (or just send me a message because it takes less effort) if any character of mine becomes annoying (coughMarySuecough) or someone seems too OOC.
Thank you all for putting up with me so far! I'll try to do my best and not dissapoint. :)
