I sighed in frustration. Great now I have to work with someone who hates me, way to go. I mentally kicked myself and I forced myself up the stairs. Halfway up a blue blob flew into my face.

" Alex there you are, were have you been?" Alex turned into two small blobs one pink and the other blue, playing together.

" Well at least one of us is haveing a good time on this dam boat." The blue blob spun around my head and landed on my shoulder.

" Where is Morph anyways?" She then turned into a mini Jim sitting in the galley.

" Oh" I sighed agine this time in annocyed.

" Alex I dont know what to do with this guy. I'm trying to be friends with him, but I dont know I guess im just overwhealm with everything that's been happening. I should't be takeing out on him......... I guess I better apoligize huh?" I leaned aginst the wall of the stairs thinking on how to apoligize to him, if he even let's me talk. I ran my fingers through my light brown lose hair.

" So you want to come to see the fireworks fly?" Alex nodded and zoomed up the stairs towards the galley. I had to run to keep up with her, but slowed down when we came down the stairs into the galley. Jim was sitting on the counter top pealing potatoes, Silver was across from him stirring something in the big metal pot that sat in the middle of the small kitchen area. Jim looked up from the potatoe he was pealing. One glance at me and he rolled his eyes.

" Jim look im sorry ok I was just mad about my mom not keeping her promise, I did't mean to yell at you." I said trying not to scream. He jumped off the counter top to stand wright in front of me so we could be face to face.

" Look i'll acepet your little apoligize, but- Jim rubbed his eyes so he wouldt lose controle of his anger.

nevermind just help me with the potatoes, ok." His vocie was harsh and demanding. I rolled my eyes as he turned back to the counter, it took all my power not to beat the living shit out of him. I grabbed a bag of potatoes and sat on a chair across from Jim, I grabbed my pocket knife that was inside my cargo pocket and startted pealing the potatoes.

" So 'las how did ya sleep?" I jumped at Silver's question I had tottaly forgot he was even in the same room, he was so quiet while Jim and I were haveing are little "conversation".

" Oh, am ok I guess." I said not takeing my attention off the potatoe. Silver turned from his work to face me.

" Las I shuggest ya take off that ring before ya bend it doing some of the heavy work."

" What, oh you mean my silver band am no thank's it's relly speciale to me and I would rather take my chances of bending it then it being missed place or stolen." I smiled as I grabbed two more potatoes out of the bag.

" Ah, whatever ya say 'las." Silver chuckeld going back to he's work. The room was silent for a minute or two till Jim broke it.

" Krista I never was able to ask you last night so I might as well ask you now. Why do you call yourself Krista Everheart when your real last name is Kingston?" Jim asked calmly jumping back off the counter to grab another bag of potatoes from the barrel.

I was wide eyed at the question. " How did you know that?"

" I got my ways." He smiled waiting for me to answer.

" It's none of you'r buniess boy'o."

" Toche"

" Jim I don't think it's the best idea to annoy me while I have something sharp in my hands." I pointed my pocket knife towards him.

" Alright fine I wont ask anymore question's." Just as Jim finished talking Mr. Danta came into the galley.

" Ah, I see Silver's has alredy put you two to work." Danta laughed and sat at a table across from me.

" If you call it work." I commented grabbeing even more potatoes out of the bag.

" Well I just got word that were going to be stopping at a port tommorow to do some buniess." Mr. Danta said leaning on his chair.

" And were also going to a party." Jim and I whooped at the idea of going to a party.

" There's just one catch, well for ya'll." Danta said in a seiouse tone.

" What is it ?" I asked courise.

" The captin want's Mr. Hawkins to esqourt you Krista."

" WHAT!" Jim and I said in union.
