AN: Thanks for reviewing Star! I decided to post a short in-betweener kind of chapter to explain what they do at night.


Pyral stood on the beach, Wave in hand. Todd was next to her, eagerly bouncing up and down while talking at the same time, more than ready to get started. "Well? Are you going to - nevermind." he said as she threw Wave's medal into the water. She leapt onto one side of him, balancing on top of him while using his dorsal fin as a grip. Todd quickly leapt on the other side, then held on the same way. Wave travelled outward for a bit, so that the water was deeper, and Pyral let go with one hand, leaned back, and trailed her free hand through the water as they were moving. Todd unleashed his Thalasso, whom he nicknamed Cyclone, and leapt onto him.

At the shore, Stella watched the two, who weren't that far away. Pauleen ran up next to her, slightly out of breath. "What do those two think they are doing?!" she cried in shock. Stella turned to look at her.

"Something I find odd." she replied. "They're good at what they do, so I don't have a problem with it. Plus, I asked them to map out the currents around the islands when they do this to make sea travel to the islands easier."

Rupert walked up. "So, they go out into the water to play?" he asked, confused as Pauleen.

Stella nodded, and they turned to see Wave leap out of the water in front of Cyclone and soak Todd with the resulting splash. "I'm okay!" he yelled to them. A second later, Wave vanished from sight only to leap out at Cyclone. Cyclone dove to the side, and drenched Todd a second time. "Really Wave?!" Everyone heard his shriek. Pyral came in towards shore, swimming herself this time, and Wave was still over by Todd. She handed something to Stella before diving back in.

"So how often do you think they'll do this?" Rupert asked Stella.

"We've asked them to come out and map every night. They know a lot about the water... it's amazing." She showed him a map that had all these different currents drawn on them around the island. Pauleen's jaw dropped as she saw how far they had gotten in two nights of current mapping.

"Th- wh- how?!" She cried in shock. Cyclone was closer to shore, and Stella stepped back a bit, for she knew what would happen from the night before. Wave leapt out of the water and landed right in front of them. The resulting splash completely landed on Rupert and Pauleen. "That's it. I'm going in." Pauleen growled, running off, dripping wet. Rupert was glaring at Wave like he was a mortal enemy. Pyral came around again, headphones on, and they all heard a song playing. (Mirror, Mirror (Look into my Eyes) By Def Leppard) Pyral landed on the beach a second later, and let Wave continue playing. He's so playful, this is not even beginning to describe it. Sorry about the soaking you got Rupert. She said, even though she was snickering slightly.

"Not. A. Word." He growled, emphasizing every word. Todd yelped as Wave leapt and snatched him right off of Cyclone. Pyral rolled her eyes as Todd swam ashore, soaking wet.

"Rupert, you really need to try it. It'd do you some good." Rupert prepared to reply when out of nowhere a person dressed in all black ran up and stole all of Rupert's medals, only to throw them into the sea. He dashed off with Stella and Todd hot on his heels.

Pyral leapt onto Wave, only holding on with one hand, and placed her feet at the base of his dorsal fin. She snatched the vivosaurs' medals with ease, then returned to shore. She handed the soaked medals to Rupert, who was again shocked senseless. A 'thank you' would be nice, you know. She snapped at the coming-to-senses Rupert. "U-uh... th-thanks." He stuttered before running off. She watched as Stella and Todd came back.

"We caught the guy, but are Rupert's vivosaurs okay?" Stella asked Pyral. She nodded. It's almost time to head in Todd. You want to go in? When he nodded, the two said good night and left.
