Day one on the RLS Legacy was quite a smooth. Annika and Delbert had breakfast with Mister Arrow and Captain Amelia. Anna and Arrow talked quite a bit at breakfast. nothing real personal just profestional standings but it made the first mate want to know more about this remarkable youg woman.

After Delbert and Annika left Amelia looked at Arrow. "She is a nice girl isn't she." "who?" "annika , alton " "I suppose she is." "You fancy her dont you." "amelia I just met the woman yesterday. " "But she captivates you Alton I've seen that look before." "Amelia last time I had "the look" I got married and devorcied with in eight months time."

"Not every woman is like that Alton." "I know Amelia its just-" Suddenly they herd Annika yell.

...

After leaveing the captains stateroom Annika went solo as Delbert wanted to read his start charts over beofore presenting them to Amelia that afternoon. "Hello missss. GreenVille." "Ah!" Anna jumped when a slithering type voice came to her ears. She turn to see a male Mantavor nearly a foot taller than the other was standing there.

"Oh uh hello there mister? " "Ssscroop. " "Scroop.." "I've been watching you from afar and I have ta say your quite lovely." He rested a claw on her shoulder. "Um..I dont even know you?" She said backing up but he grabbed her shoulder. "Wait an min- your the one who fought Jim yesterday didnt you!" her purple eye blazing. "Perhapsss...your beautiful."

"Excuse me?" anna tried backing away but scroop didnt get the hint. "please back off." Still no hint was given. "Aw come on baby-" "Scroop I said back off!" She picked up a lock that was used for the shrouds and chucked it at him. Instead he caught it and grabbed both shoulders. "Mister Scroop un hand her at once!" Amelia snapped much to Anna's relife.

Arrow came to down stairs and pulled Scroop aside forcefully. "If I ever catchyou near her again-" "You'll what comander?" Scroop smurked he wanted Alton to threaten him. "you'd see." "mister Arrow." Amelia called.

The two were in a glare contest. "Mister Arrow?" "Im coming captain." He said and said to scroop , "Remember what i said." with that he turned and left with Amelia.

...

the rest of the day Annika could for get it she wonder'd what Arrow had told Scroop. Suddenly she felt a presence and turned to see Sidney looming over her by about a foot. "Oh uh Hello-" "Sstay away from him."

"who?" "Ssscroop!" "Look I- you tell him that." "I'm telling you human!" Annika looked up at this she-mantavor . "A-alright not a problem at all trust me.." "..God. I would hate things to turn ugly for you." and she dug her claw into Anna's arm. she flinched Sidney smiled and left. Annika looked at her arm and the slight cut left behind . "Miss. Greenville?" "Oh Mister Arrow. I didn't know you were there."

"I just got here...what happen?" "Nothingi'm fine." "No your not your cut on the arm what happen?"

"something stupid." "With the she-mantavor?" "Yes.." "she hurt you?" the look on her face told him. "why are you so consirned about me?" "I don't like people getting hurt. Especially fighting...and women and childern. Call it the navy spacer in me."

'Could Amelia be right could I-I love her?' Arrow thought 'there is another reason isn't there?' annika wondered. "If you dont mind me asking...what was your...ex-wife like or is?"

"Is...alot...was a sweet innocent caring daughter of a fisher man." "How'd you to fall in love?" "Hm." He smiled. "We met while I was a market one day during training. we litrally ran into one another. After that we could stop meeting one another. We started writting one another till one day she visited me back home on Montressor..and I preposed to her. After two years."

"Amelia talked me into it." she smurked. "Figures ." He said laughing. "Well I suppose im off to bed good night mister- uh Alton." "Good nightAnnika." he stood and watched to make sure she entered her room un harmed.

'I think...I think I love her...but truth is...do I want to love her? the what if keep playing me...I took and chance once...I may try again..' with that he rubbed the back of his neck and went to his quarters not knowning a certain mantavor was watching the entire scene.
