Sharkboy gulped as he heard Lavagirl gasp behind him. She had obviously had been listening over his shoulder, which she was now giving a tight squeeze. Sharkboy cleared his throat but found his voice still cracked when he spoke. "Wh-where?" he was afraid that Max might have seen his father's ship broken down somewhere with him dead inside.
"Somewhere along the tip of Africa. You know, the Cape of Good Hope?" Max replied on the other end. Sharkboy wanted to kick himself a thousand times. "Of course, he's searching around heavy populations of sharks! I am such an idiot!" He stomped a foot into the sand. Lavagirl walked around to face him and put both hands on his shoulders. Sharkboy nearly dropped the phone as he gazed into her eyes. She pulled him into a hug. "You're not an idiot Sharkie." She whispered quietly. He could feel the hot tears roll down his face as he thought about how much she really cared about him. "Yes I am!" he said as he buried his face in her hair; comfort spreading through him at her scent.
She pushed him back and grinned at him. "Well, sometimes yes…but you're my idiot!" He grinned right back at her. They starred at each other lovingly until Max interrupted by clearing his throat. Sharkboy picked back up the pone. "Sorry Max. Is he alright!" Max sighed. "I don't know! I just saw his ship and the location. I have no clue about him." Sharkboy glanced at Lavagirl who was biting her lip but she nodded in understanding. Sharkboy nodded back. "Right, Lava and I are going after him." After saying goodbye and hanging up he turned to Lavagirl.
"Ready?" he asked. She walked over and softly kissed him on the lips. "I'd follow you anywhere!" she assured him after they broke apart. He smiled as he took her hand and led her to the submarine.
---------------------------------------------
As they approached the Cape of Good Hope Sharkboy's radar picked up on a signal from about three miles off the shore. "This is it." He said as he steered towards it. Lavagirl put her hand on his shoulder and rested her head against it, praying he was right.
-----------------------------------------------
Sharkboy's heart skipped a beat as he set the sub to hover over the wrecked sub bellow. He could still see that it was working for the lights in front were still running as was the signal. He turned to Lavagirl, "I have to swim down from here." He told her. She wanted to join him but knew the risk was too great. She just nodded and let her head drop as the tears began to fall.
Sharkboy stepped forward and kissed her passionately, she held on for dear life. Once they broke away she took his hands in hers and brushed her lips over them. "Please be careful! I can't lose you!" He lifted her chin up with his hand and starred earnestly into her watery eyes. "You won't." he assured her.
He gave her one more, quick kiss and then went to the diving room. He closed the doors to seal off the rest of the ship and opened the hatch to the outside. Lavagirl prayed as she watched him through the small window in the sealed off door. Sharkboy turned to her one last time before diving into the dark depths.
