A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! On to the next!
As for your comment, CB93, I put in a little bit of Tetra/Link fluff in here just for you.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Komali!! Wake up!"
Komali stirred a bit and opened his eyes. "Medli? Is that you?" He asked.
"Uh, no...It's me, Link. Come on! We're gonna be late! Don't you remember? We promised Tetra that we'd go with her on her ship!" Link poked his friend again.
"Oh yeah...it's Saturday already?" Komali asked himself.
"Yep. I thought you'd be more eager to go, seeing as you were planning to tell Medli about how you felt today..." Link said. "Did something happen between you two?"
"Yes. I told her last night..." Komali said, reliving that horrible moment in his head.
"And? How'd she take it?" Link asked.
"Not well. She flew off without another word..."
"Really? That's weird..." Link said. "I'll talk to her about it today for you. Up you get! You know Tetra, she'll burst in here, ready to kill if we're late." Link said.
"Heh...that's true..." Komali said, getting up and starting to get dressed.
"I'll meet you down by the docks, okay?"
"Alright. See you there,"
"See ya!"
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"So how'd it go last night?" Tetra asked Medli. The pair was down at the docks, waiting for the boys to show up. "Did you finally confess your true feelings for Komali?" Tetra pretended to swoon.
"Nope. He told me that he loved me and couldn't imagine life without me." Medli said.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaand? What happened?"
"I ran away, and he probably got the wrong idea."
"You WHAT?!" Tetra burst out laughing. Medli glared at her. "I'm sorry...that's almost exactly how Link and I ended up together! He said that he liked me, and I just piled more work on him because I thought he was kidding!"
"Really? Huh..." Medli thought for a bit.
"I can talk to him for you if you like. Tell him that the hunt's still on." Tetra winked at Medli, who blushed. "I can also have the crows-nest cleared, so you two can have some alone-time..."
"You're the best, Tetra!" Medli exclaimed.
"I know."
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Tetra, my love!" Link cried out as he reached the dock. He extended his arms out. Tetra rolled her eyes as Link swept her up into a hug. "Let us never part ways again! When I am away from you, it is as if the sun is gone from my world!"
"Get off me you loon!" Tetra cried, laughing and trying to wiggle out of his grasp. Link held firm.
"But my love! Don't you feel the same way about me?" He asked, struggling to keep her captive.
Tetra sighed. "Fine...I'll play along..." She cleared her throat. "Oh, Link! How have I lived without you for so long? I cannot bear to be separated from you again! Never leave me!" The pair burst out laughing.
"Is this a tradition?" Medli asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It better not be." Tetra said.
"It is." Link chirped happily. "By the way, Medli...reguarding Komali...I heard that--"
"You heard that he confessed his love for me and then I ran off?" Medli interrupted.
"Exactly. What happened?" Link asked.
"I'm not exactly sure...he just told me he loved me out of the blue, and it was a bit much to take in..." Medli said.
"And do you like him back?"
"Yes...but I just don't know how to tell him." Medli said, scuffing her toes on the dock.
"Well here's your chance now. Here he comes." Tetra said.
"Hi, are we ready to go?" Komali asked. "Speaking of going, where exactly are we going?"
"I'm kidnapping you and taking you to Link's private island." Tetra said.
"You have a private island?! Since when?!" Komali asked Link.
"Since I gave Ms. Marie on Windfall those 20 necklaces..." Link said, blushing a bit.
"Alright, enough chit-chat!" Tetra barked, falling into her role as captain. "All aboard!" The trio complied. "ALRIGHT!! LET'S GET THIS SHIP MOVING!" She cried. Her faithful crew doing her bidding. Then she turned around to Link, Medli and Komali. "Just because you three are my friends doesn't mean you get to slack off! Komali and Medli, I want you two up in the crows nest keeping a lookout!" She shoved telescopes into their hands, and watched them ascend the ladder. "Link, you go see what Niko wants you to do." Link grumbled, but obeyed. Tetra turned around and continued barking orders at the rest of her crew.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Medli and Komali had been up in the crows nest for at least fifteen mintues and neither of them had said a word to each other, waiting for the other to talk first. Medli decided that enough was enough.
"Uh, Komali? I just wanted you to know..." Medli hesitated and turned to face him. "I'm sorry about what happened last night...it was just a misunderstanding. I...I love you, Komali..." Medli stammered out, blushing.
Komali turned around. He couldn't believe his ears. "What?" He blinked several times, still trying to comprehend what she just said to him.
"I love you, Komali Armel." Medli said, looking up at him.
Komali didn't say anything, he just hugged Medli. She hugged him back. Tetra glanced up to the crows nest from her place at the bow. She smiled. 'score one point for Tetra!' She thought giddily to herself.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Isn't this wonderful?" Tetra asked Medli. The two of them were lying on towels behind Link's cabana, soaking up the sun.
"Mmmhmmm..." Medli was in paradise. "I wonder where Link and Komali are..." Medli wondered aloud.
"Who cares?" Tetra asked. The two of them grinned. Then the sun was blotted out. They opened their eyes and glanced up. The boys were standing over them, buckets in their hands.
"What's in the bucket?" Medli asked Komali. He just grinned at her and dumped the contents of the bucket over her. Link did the same to Tetra. They fled as the two females screeched their anger at having a bucket of cold water dumped over them.
"Quick! In the house!" Link cried, glancing over his shoulder, seeing the girls giving chase. Komali followed him into the house. They leaned against the door, being unable to lock it. "Butler! Don't let those two girls in." Link commanded.
"Of course, sir." The door responded. Komali and Link sighed and leaned against the wall beside the door, grinning in triumph. But not for long.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"I'll fly you up to the roof, and we'll drop through the skylight, got it?" Medli asked Tetra. "I'll take Komali, you take Link."
"Yup. I'm ready." Tetra said, bracing herself and grabbing Medli's feet. Medli flew up to the roof and positioned herself above the skylight.
"There's not enough room for me to land. I'm going to drop you down, you get out of the way, and I'll follow, okay?"
"Okay." Tetra said, letting go and falling neatly through the skylight. "GO!" She cried, once she was out of the way of the skylight. Medli dropped through. The two of them tackled their respective targets and wrestled them to the floor.
"Do you have anything to tie them up with?" Medli asked Tetra. Tetra tossed her a couple feet of thin cord. Medli began merrily tying Komali's hands behind his back.
"Cruel temptresses! Lie there all unprotected and then attack us when we give in to your CRUEL TEMPTATION!!" Link protested, wiggling under Tetra. Tetra leaned down and whispered something in Link's ear. Link stopped struggling and grinned to himself. "I can live with that, I suppose..." Link said.
"Medli...let me go...please..." Komali pleaded in his best 'I'm sorry, pity me' voice.
"What's in it for me?" Medli asked.
"Anything you want...please don't hurt me..." Komali looked over his shoulder as pitifully as he could.
"Hmmm...Annnnnything?" Medli purred in his ear.
Komali gulped. "Anything." He promised.
"Hey, Tetra! Komali's promising me anything if I let him go! Should I?"
"No way. We have them where we want them, and now we'll enact our revenge on them!" Tetra replied.
"You heard the captain!" Medli crowed, getting off Komali and poking him with her toe. "Up you get!" She chirped. Tetra finished tying the last knot and poked Link to make him get up.
"Now that we have them, what shall we do with them?" Medli asked Tetra.
"hmmm...ooh! Let's..." Tetra whispered her idea in Medli's ear. Medli smirked and eyed Komali.
"Fabulous idea. Let's." Medli said. "You take them outside, I'll go get the stuff."
"Alright. Come on, boys, no need to delay the inevitable!" Tetra put a hand on each boy's shoulder and steered them out the door. Medli ran off towards the shore. She returned a few minutes later, with a crab in each hand. She handed one to Tetra.
"On three. One...Two...Three!" Medli and Tetra put a crab on Link and Komali's head and watched in amusement as they began to make a large, circular nest in their hair.
"AGH! GET THEM OUT!!" The boys cried, shaking their heads in a vain attempt to disloge the crabs. The crabs clung tighter to their hair.
"You get to be de-crabbed after you apologize." Tetra said.
"I'm sorry for dumping water on you, Tetra." Link said immediately, getting down on his knees.
"I'm sorry for dumping water on you, Medli." Komali imitated Link.
"That will do nicely." Tetra gently coaxed the crab out of Link's hair as Medli did the same for Komali. Then they started untying them. "If you dump water on us again, we'll tie you up and leave you there." Tetra said, turning around and walking away, Medli following. They settled back into their original positions on their towels, leaving the boys to amuse themselves.
oooooooooooooooooooooo
"I really needed that..." Medli sighed happily in the crows nest with Komali. The sun had started to set, and they needed to get back to school.
"What? Putting a crab in my hair?" He still hadn't gotten over that.
"No, the sunbathing. The crab did help lift my spirits a bit, though..." Medli teased.
"Yeah, it's fun for you, but I have a long night of combing my hair ahead of me..." Komali complained.
"I'll do it if you like." Medli offered.
"Alright. Same time, same place?" Komali asked.
"Yup." Medli answered, then yawned.
"Tired?" Komali asked, putting an arm around her shoulders.
"A bit." Medli leaned gently into him.
"You can take a nap if you like. I can keep watch."
"Nah, I'll be fine." Medli replied.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Link!" Tetra called. Link was in the middle of a Pirate Test with Niko. When Tetra called his name, he jumped off the rope he was dangling on and looked up at her. "Get up here right now." Tetra glared at him. "You're going to clean up the mess you made in my room right now!"
"What? But I didn't--" Link started to protest.
"Stop whining and get up here." Tetra snapped, turning and walking up to her room. Link followed her, very confused about what he had done wrong.
"Tetra?" Link didn't see her in her room. He slowly walked in. The door slammed behind him. Tetra stood between him and the door, a smirk on her face. "What's going on, Tetra?"
"Sorry about that Link...I didn't know any other way to get you in here without raising suspicion with the other crew members." Tetra said. Link's face lit up as he realized what she meant.
"Got it..." Link said, closing the distance between them and pinning Tetra against the door. "Well, Miss Tetra...I'll begin cleaning that mess up now..." Before Tetra could fire a witty comeback at him, Link had captured her lips in his and had begun doing some very interesting things with his tongue. Tetra closed her eyes and lost herself in the kiss.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"I think we should do that again sometime..." Medli said, slowly running a comb through Komali's hair.
"Yeah, me, too. But without the crab this time." Komali winced as Medli hit a particularly stubborn knot with the comb.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I should probably go a bit slower..." Medli slowed down her combing. There weren't very many more knots in his hair, so Komali was able to relax more under her gentle combing. He didn't even notice when she stopped.
"Uh...Komali? I'm done now." Medli said, waving a hand in front of his face. Komali caught it and kissed it gently. Medli blushed. "What are you--" She was hushed with a finger to her lips.
"May I kiss you, Medli?" Komali asked, standing up and looking her straight in the eyes.
Medli forgot how to breathe. "Yes." She responded without thinking. Komali gently tilted her head up and gently grazed his lips across hers. Medli's eyes fluttered shut and she slid her arms around Komali's neck. Komali wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Ages seemed to fly by as they kissed, but it ended all too soon.
They broke apart, panting. "Wow..." Komali finally said. Medli grinned.
"Goodnight, Komali." She said, giving him a quick kiss.
"Goodnight, Medli..." Komali watched her fly off, still feeling her lips on his. "Wow..."
