This chapter will consist on some Emma/Ty. I just love the couple. Oh yeah, I forgot the crappy routine that everyone has to do for their story. The disclaimer. Ok, here it goes. 3…2…1… GO!

I DO NOT OWN STOKED OR TDI/TDA/TDWT! Ah, good thing I got that outta my chest

Reef, Fin, and Broseph left earlier but Emma was still in the hot tub. She made sure she got out every few minutes so she doesn't get wrinkles. She leapt into the hot tub again and endured the hot feel in her skin. She sighed in satisfaction.

"This is the life!" she thought. It's not every time you get a chance to fly around the world! It's a onetime thing.

She laid her head back, breathing in the steam that escaped from the hot tub. As she was relaxing, she became aware that there were noises coming from behind her. More specifically, the 'clitter, clatter' of slippers. She turned around to see who was cutting in to her time but she froze when she saw the light-brown hair, the lightly tanned skin, the Canon camera in hand and mostly, the beautiful blue eyes that Emma gets lost in so freaking easily. I mean, could you blame the girl?

Ty looked at Emma and smiled. Emma was most definitely still but managed a smile. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that she could do. There was an awkward pause between the two. Ty was rubbing the back of his neck and Emma was just… still, looking at his eyes. Ty broke the uncomfortable silence and started with the conversation.

"Hey Emma," he started. This startled Emma out of her trance and she pulled her emerald eyes away from his blue ones.

"Oh h-hey Ty. What brings you here?" she asked shyly.

"I could ask you the same question." But he answered her question. "I was just getting some more shots for my camera of the first class. My mom wants to see how it looks like since she has to be working 24/7 a day so she won't be able to see it on TV."

"Oh, then I guess I should leave. It's fine with me." Emma was beginning to get out of the hot tub when Ty stopped her by the arm.

"No!" he said it a little loudly. He soon realized how loud he was and said a lot softer, "I mean, its fine. You can stay if you want. It won't seem right you know. You were here first anyways. I can take it tomorrow." It was Emma's turn to grab him by the arm. She looked down at her hand on his and abruptly let go.

"Um, do you want to… swim around in the hot tub with me?" She quickly added, "If you want to, that is."

"Sure. Let me just take this off and I'll come." He left but Emma so desperately wanted him to take his shirt off right where she was instead.

Not too long after, Ty arrived completely shirtless, which drove Emma completely crazy.

Emma: Ty… in front of me… shirtless… blue eyes… GOD! (Swoons just thinking about it all)

"Hey Emma." Ty begins to approach the hot tub and climb in, resting his back against the edge.

"Oh, h-h-h-hey again Ty." Emma mentally face-palmed. Emma thought she was acting really stupid at the moment but Ty thought she looked really cute.

Emma looked really nervous and busied herself to her left towards the window, where she saw the most beautiful sight. Stars sparkling everywhere. She gave out a 'wow' to the sight of it. Ty looked out the window too and smiled.

"I know. It reminds me of my childhood, when my dad and I had those 'father and son' nights. We used to look out the stars when we were done with dinner. But now, we don't do it much anymore since my dad is really involved in his work and all, which I don't mind at all by it, but sometimes I wish he… found the time, you know?"

Emma smiled. "I know what you mean. My dad and I would always look up at the stars, trying to trace them to a random shape or thing like a hat or a beaver. But then, my dad got promoted to chief of his job. He took it really seriously and kept forgetting about spending time with my mom and I. Then he got on this trip to Switzerland and he was hiking up a mountain." Emma took a pause for a second, trying to go further. She looked as if she was going to cry. "…Then all of a sudden…" She said the last part softer than the rest. "He slips…" Tears start rolling in down her cheeks. Ty brought her over to his chest and hugged her. He wiped the tears off with his thumb.

"It's ok Emma. But you didn't have to tell me about it."

"I know, but it kind of… came out," she managed to say.

"I'm so sorry Ems." He hugged her a bit tighter. She wiped the rest of her tears away and smiled.

"Thanks Ty." And without thing, she reached up and kissed him on the cheek. When she realized what she did, she left from the embrace and swam over to the other side of the hot tub. The shy girl blushed madly. So did Ty.

"I'm so sorry about that Ty." The surfer girl looked VERY apologetic.

"N-no, it's fine."

"Oh." She forced a smile. "Well, ok. Thanks again, Ty." And with that, she stepped out of the tub, grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her wet body.

"Good night." She gave him a quick smile before she left to get changed into her PJ's. She grabbed her pillow and her warm, snuggly blanket. She got comfortable at economy class even though it didn't look to comfortable for anyone's liking. But strangely, she found a way. She rested her head on her pillow and went to sleep remembering the conversation she and Ty had. She smiled at the thought of it and gently drifted to sleep.

Back of the jet

"I c-can't believe t-they f-forgot m-m-me a-at the bu-us," Wipeout said to himself in the cold part of the jet, wrapping himself with his hands… um… fins.

A/N: For the people who don't know, Wipeout is the Surfer's Paradise's mascot who we never saw how he looks like. Which gives me the GREAT advantage for this, and I mean a physical appearance for Wipeout. Don't worry chickadees. I'll give you someone good and quite cute. You know what? You can list your ideas for how Wipeout will look like. I'll choose who it would be next Thursday. Sound good? OK! His appearance will be exposed in the next few chapters. I CAN'T WAIT!
