Rapunzel's green eyes lighted up. "For once, you actually came up with a good idea! I'm so proud."
"Agreed."
My face resembled a whale as I followed the laughing two around the town.
Chapter 9: Boat Ride
"What exactly are we going to do while waiting for those lanterns to appear?" A certain bored bluenette boy asked.
"Yes, Rapunzel, what are we going to do?" I intentionally direct the question towards the princess.
She sighed. "Why do you two expect me to know the answer?"
So far, everybody is answering all the questions with questions. Not really helpful. Looks like I have to actually use my brain at this moment. We could just keep walking around like how we are now. But, one way or another, we're gonna get tired eventually. I'm going to count on Aoi on this one.
Aoi rolled his eyes. "Well, I don't know, the person who wants to find the lanterns should know the area around the lanterns. Common sense."
"He's got a point, Punz," I smirked.
Rapunzel frowned and blinked. "I guess we could just keep on walking and talking like right now."
I scoffed. "And get sore feet? I don't think so, princess. Maybe we should think of a place to watch the lanterns. The sun's setting now."
Everybody stared at the sun hiding behind the mountain. It was getting darker. Personally, I'd like for some snow to fall in the background. But, I think I already messed up Corona's weather enough already. I don't remember it snowing in the Rapunzel dimension in the fairy tales back at Earth. Perhaps I did mess up the average temperatures when I first came here.
"Now, we've actually got a smart guy on our hands," the water boy snorted, "it would be kinda cool if we could watch the lanterns on the water somehow..."
A light bulb immediately shone in my mind. "I have an idea!" I declared, proud that I actually thought of an idea.
"Let's hope this is a good one," Rapunzel muttered.
I glared at her for a second before beginning to unravel my amazing thought, "Since water boy here wants to watch the lanterns on the water, why don't we just watch from a boat?"
"Brilliant!" The said water boy exclaimed happily with a grin, "If you guys wouldn't mind, I'd love to watch the lanterns by myself. Personal issues. I get a bit too excited on the surface of water."
For some strange reason, he kept on grinning maliciously at the two of us. The princess shrugged and didn't notice the change of Aoi's behavior. "I guess you can if you want to. Right, Jack?"
I narrowed my eyes at Aoi's growing grin. "Uh, sure?"
A bright smile appeared on her face as she happily sang, "I get to watch the lanterns on a boat!"
"I have an even better idea," the blue head said seriously, "you should make ice boats for all of us! Your power is causing anything snow-related happen right? So, you should be able to freeze water into ice."
I blinked. "I don't know if you're right, but I'll try."
Rapunzel frowned. "That doesn't sound so convincing."
Aoi smirked as I said more enthusiastically, "I will make ice boats."
If the Guardians heard this, I would sound like an idiot to them. I can just imagine Bunny burst out in laughter and start insulting me. Once day turned into night, the two politely made me - honestly, forced me by hand - to use my powers to create boats. Aoi had to lend a hand since Rapunzel didn't want the boat to look like an iceberg. I didn't care that much of the appearance. Just the fact that it would be strong enough to sustain our weight and not crack- That brings bad memories...
After numerous attempts, Aoi declared, "I have a plan!"
"What are you waiting for? Say it already!" The princess demanded.
His face lit up. "I can control water. I think I can amazingly hover a body of water in the air in the shape of a boat for a little while. I will shape it realistically. This is when Mr. Frost comes in. He's uses his powers to freeze the floating water. Hopefully, he can make the ice a bit thicker or stronger so it won't instantly melt since ocean water is salty. I know this because I know all types of waters by heart and-"
"Okay," I interrupted with a laugh, "I think we all get it. Thanks, Aoi."
"Let's give it a try," Aoi said cheerfully and sprinted once again to the ocean.
Both of us watched him make a huge blob of water hover above the ocean. Rapunzel's mouth fell open in amazement while I just chuckled. I'm kinda used to all of these super powers already. Being a member of the Guardians has the effect on you. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Honestly, I wouldn't be that amused if somebody could control gravity like a switch. In only mere seconds, Aoi constructed the water into those boats in Venice. His arm was up and his hands pointing at the water boat.
"Wow." The two of us said at exactly the same time in awe.
"Hurry up! I can't make this thing last for long," he yelled at me as I watched his arm tremble slightly.
"I dunno, maybe I should wait for a-"
"No, you will come here and freeze it right now! No excuses," Aoi shouted angrily.
"Coming, calm down," I laughed and rushed to the steaming Aoi.
I took a deep breath and used my staff to direct a frosty ice beam towards the 'boat'. Once it made contact with the floating water, it instantly froze. All of us watched in amazement as if fell onto the water and rocked back and forth. Aoi immediately calmed the waves in the ocean and the boat stopped rocking. He exhaled a sigh of relief and glared at me. Uh oh.
"You! Why did you take so long to freeze it?! I was on the edge of releasing the water out of my grasp," he argued with an intense frown.
I glared back. "I need some time to work my magic too! I thought you caused tsunamis and hurricanes."
"I did and still do. That's way easier than holding a designed body of water hovering above the water for half a minute!"
"Guess you aren't as powerful as you say you are."
"Coming from the boy who can't come back to his own world."
"Says the kid with blue hair."
"Someone with white hair and bare feet shouldn't say that."
"Oh, well maybe-"
"Guys break it off," Rapunzel stepped in between us and smiled, "let's focus on the beautiful piece of art in front of us, okay? Apologize."
Aoi replied, "Yes, Mr. Frost, apologize to me."
"I could say the same thing," I gritted my teeth.
The golden-haired girl sighed. "Oh, for crying out loud, you two are acting like babies! Apologize or I'll start ignoring Aoi forever and never help Jack get back to his own dimension."
She's got us both on that one.
"I'm sorry," we both muttered.
Rapunzel smiled. "That's better. Say can you two make another one for Aoi?"
Wordlessly, we stared at her in synchronization. It's safe to say none of us are amused at the moment.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed reading this extremely late chappie! These past weeks have been so hectic, I didn't get the chance to update/write any of my stories. I'm sorry. If I could, I'd stop all the amount of homework I receive from school. Unfortunately, that isn't possible... At the moment. Thank you to everyone who reviewed/followed/favorited! I really appreciate it. :) It gives me a reason to keep on writing this fanfiction. Please review!
