Thank you so much for the reviews! Keep them coming! And please remember, I own nothing. :)

Andi walked down the dock towards the Time Bandit with her bag in tow. She wasn't really in the mood to work, but didn't want to leave Johnathan shorthanded on such short notice. She didn't tell them what was going on with her, and wasn't planning on doing so. She didn't want to talk about it. She just wanted to work and be done with it.

"Well look who it is!" Mike yelled from the deck of the boat.

"I am here, no fear." She said, forcing a smile on her face.

"You're late." Johnathan yelled over the hailer to her.

She shot a look up to the wheelhouse to him, then threw her bag on deck before jumping on herself.

"How's it going since I saw you last?" Mike asked, grabbing her bag to help her out.

"As good as it can get I guess." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Ready for a marathon of tendering?" He asked, smiling at her.

"Ready to get it going." She said, following him inside. Mike threw her bag in the room she usually stayed in during herring season, and then the two of them headed up to the wheelhouse to where Johnathan was at.

"The A team is all here now." Johnathan said, smiling. He gave Andi a quick hug, happy to see her. "We do have a greenhorn to train this season, unfortunately, but with you two on board, it will be alright."

"Where is this greenhorn, and does he know that he is working with me?" She asked.

"He has no clue, and he's around here someplace." Johnathan said with a smile.

Andi looked over at Mike, who had a grin on his face.

"Let's go meet him, shall we?" Mike asked.

Andi nodded, liking the idea. The two of them went to go and find the greenhorn, whose name was Chet. They found him on deck cleaning it off.

"Hey, Chet, want you to meet someone." He said.

Chet, looking up, smiled at the sight of Andi.

"Hey, is this your girl? Nice to meet you." Chet said, holding his hand out to shake her hand. Andi realized at that time he never saw The Deadliest Catch.

"She wishes." Mike said with a smile.

"No, I work here." She said, accepting his hand.

Chet laughed, but then stopped when he realized neither Mike nor Andi were laughing.

"My name is Andi." She said, smiling at him.

"Seriously?" He asked.

"Yeah. Been working this boat during herring season for a few years now. I go crab fishing for my uncles on the Northwestern."

"Oh, you're that crazy chick I've heard about. I didn't realize you work for these guys too." Chet said, looking over at her.

"This crazy chick has to work with all the crazy people I can." She joked. "My uncles weren't cutting it anymore."

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you." He said, smiling.

"Ready to let this girl show you how it's done?" Mike asked him.

"Yeah. I mean, if she can do it, so can I, right?"

Andi glared at him, her hands going on her hips. Mike stepped in front of her to block her gaze at him.

"Don't want to say that until after the trip. You will be surprised." He said.

"I can outwork you on this boat and any boat in the fleet." She said to him, being led away by Mike. He led her back to the wheelhouse where Johnathan was cracking up laughing.

"What?" Andi asked him.

"I don't know exactly what was said between the two of you, but your faces pretty much told the story. That was classic."

"Oh fuck off Hillstrand." Andi said, sitting down in the chair across the wheelhouse from him.

"Well aren't you just in a pleasant mood today." He said, laughing.

"I am in a great mood." She responded, sitting back in her chair, trying not to let her emotions get the better of her.

"Anyway, on a different note, should I just give you my RSVP now, while you're here?"

"What?" She asked, forgetting all about the fact that the RSVP's were sent out to everyone.

"For the wedding. I got the invitation, and I figured I'd save a stamp." He said.

"Oh, yeah, the wedding, right. Just give me the RSVP I guess." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

"I have that up on my refrigerator at home to remind me to be there." Mike said with a smile.

"That's good. Anyway, I'm going to go change to get ready to work out on deck to get this boat ready. See you out there?" She asked Mike. She didn't want to hear about the wedding, or deal with anything that resembled Blake in any way.

He nodded and watched her leave the wheelhouse. Once they were sure she was out of ear shot, Johnathan looked over at Mike.

"What did you really do with that invitation?" He asked.

"What do you think I did with it? I burned that shit up." He answered.

Johnathan laughed.

With that, Mike left the wheelhouse to start showing the greenhorn how to prep the deck to get it ready for tendering season. Andrea followed shortly behind, diving herself right into work. She was hoping that the wedding wouldn't be brought up, but forgot that the invitations were sent out. She figured she would let the guys know at the end of the season that the wedding was off, instead of now. The less it was brought up, the better in her eyes.

Later that night, Andi walked into the galley where Chet was cooking everyone's dinner for the evening. Andi sat down on the bench, turning on the TV.

"So, when does this marathon really start?" Chet asked Andi.

"Herring season starts in a couple days." Andi said, turning the channels, trying to find something to watch. It was the only time they would get normal television before leaving the dock, and she was trying to take advantage of it.

"How long have you worked on this boat?" He asked her, trying to pick her brain.

"This is my fourth tendering season for these guys." She answered.

"Which boat do you prefer, the Northwestern, or the Time Bandit?"

"Northwestern. No offense to these guys, but I like to stick with the family boat."

"If they weren't your family?"

"Still the Northwestern. I've worked on that boat for at least five years now."

"So you have been doing this for awhile." Chet stated, setting some of the food he was cooking on the galley table.

"I've grown up on boats. It's part of who I am." She explained, making a face when she realized there was nothing on TV.

Mike then walked into the galley, his hair sticking out everywhere from the hat he was wearing. She watched him grab his baseball cap he never wore on deck and stick it on his head, and then took a seat next to her.

"Smells good Chet." Mike said, looking at the food on the table.

Johnathan entered the galley at that point, sitting down across from Andi.

"How are things going?" Andi asked him when she noticed he had a scowl on his face.

"Remember me trying to start the engine earlier?" He asked, dishing up food.

Andi nodded.

"We were going through the engine, to make sure everything was still good, like I always do before we head away from the harbor." He explained. "There is a leak in the system. The same leak that I fixed during opie's."

Andi made a face, knowing that Johnathan wasn't happy at that point.

"They said it can be fixed by the time the season starts, but I'm definitely not happy about shelling out the money for this."

Mike made a face, glancing over at Andi and Chet, who weren't looking at Johnathan by that point.

The crew ate in silence, with the occasional mutter from Johnathan breaking the silence. Andi knew by that point in her career that when he was angry, it was just simpler to stay out of his way. When everyone was done eating, Andi and Mike headed to the engine room to oversee the repairs that were underway.

"I want you guys to watch them, and make sure they don't fuck things up again." Johnathan yelled to Mike and Andi. Andi watched him pace off.

"I'm surprised he isn't down here to keep an eye on everything." She said, glancing at Mike.

"He doesn't like not having control of things. He would rather not see a repair on his boat, and just go upstairs and work on paperwork."

"Seriously? I know a completely different Johnathan." She asked him, laughing.

"Not really, but since I'm here, he's trusting me with it. Plus, I'd rather him be upstairs. He starts to yell after awhile."

"I notice you said nothing about him trusting me to be here." She said with a sly smile.

"You wouldn't know where to start with any of these things." He said, smiling at her.

"Wouldn't have a clue." She said, shaking her head. "However, I am good at one thing. Want a cup of coffee while we wait?"

Mike nodded, liking the idea of a fresh cup of coffee. Andi walked up to the galley and started the coffee pot, and then grabbed two travel mugs. Once the coffee was done, she poured the two of them a cup, and then headed back down to the engine room. She saw Mike talking to one of the engineers. She waited until he was done, and then handed him his coffee.

"Nice and fresh. Thanks. May be in for a long night the way these guys are moving."

Andi shook her head, smiling a little.

Andi watched the engineer tear apart the engine, and she watched, trying to understand what was really going on. It was the only thing her uncles wished she had more interest in, but she didn't care to know about engines. She had more fun being on deck fishing than below deck when problems arise.

The two of the waited around until the engineer decided to call it quits for the evening. Promising he would be back first thing in the morning, he left the boat. Andi crawled up to the wheelhouse to see a very angry Andi.

"Well?" He asked, looking over at her.

"It's late, and he's got it torn apart. He has to get a part, so he decided to go to his shop and get it and come back in the morning." She said, handing him a fresh cup of coffee.

"He should have to work overnight. This is insane." He said, shaking his head. "Does he not realize that I have to get my boat going in about 36 hours."

"I'm sure he does, however, there is nothing more he can do tonight. I have faith that it won't take much longer tomorrow, and your engine will be as good as new."

Johnathan grumbled under his breath. Mike came up to the wheelhouse at that time, all smiles.

"What are you smiling about?" Johnathan barked.

Mike's smile disappeared. Andi fought back the urge to laugh at his expression.

"I'd ask if there was anything you could do to speed up the process, but I guess we're waiting on an imaginary part? I wouldn't be surprised if he said that just so he could go home and sleep. Sleep is for the weak."

Mike shook his head, revealing the broke part in his hand. Johnathan looked at it, and Andi could tell that he knew immediately what it was.

"You have got to be shitting me. That is the same part that was replaced during opies. The same exact part!"

"Opposite engine Johnathan. The other engine was the one that went bad before."

Johnathan thought for a moment, and then got angry again.

"It will be alright. It's a quick fix. We will be ready to go by the time the season starts." Mike said, shrugging his shoulders.

"If it's not, then heads are rolling." Johnathan answered.

Mike looked over at Andi, and smiled a small smile while Johnathan wasn't looking. Jen nodded, smiling back, and then headed downstairs.

Andi crawled into bed to get some sleep. She was in bed no more than ten minutes when she heard the door to her room open. She turned to see Mike crawling into bed next to her.

"What?" She asked, rolling back over on her side, facing away from him.

"So, gonna' tell me what really is going on, or keep your silence some more?" He asked, watching her.

"What are you talking about?" She asked him.

"I didn't notice it at first, but when we were in the engine room, I definitely noticed. You aren't wearing your engagement ring."

"I don't wear it when I'm working." She responded, a little too quickly.

"You haven't worn it all day." He added. "What's going on?"

Andi ignored him. She was hoping that nobody would say anything to her, but realized at that point that she wasn't going to get what she wanted.

"I can see you don't want to talk about it, but I'm here if you want to talk." He said, still watching her. He was hoping that she would show some sign as to what was going on with her and Blake.

"It's a long and complicated story." She said to him, breaking the silence.

"We are on a boat, going nowhere. We have nothing but time." He said, trying to get a glimpse of her face.

Andi sighed, laying on her back. It was at that time he noticed her crying.

"He slept with another woman, so I ended everything." She said, wiping the tears from her cheek.

"Oh no. I'm so sorry." He said sympathetically.

Andi shrugged her shoulders.

"What did he have to say about it?" He asked her, curious.

"He didn't deny it, but he wasn't going to tell me either." She explained, taking a deep breath. "I have never felt so deceived."

"He doesn't deserve you." He said.

"That's what everyone keeps telling me, however, before, everyone was all about him, and how good he was for me. Edgar even told me that he never liked the guy from the beginning, but yet he approved of the engagement. I'm sorry, but not one of my uncles keep their opinions to themselves ever. He never would have approved of the engagement if he didn't like the guy."

"They are just trying to say things they think you want to hear."

"I wish people would stop doing that."

"So, what are you going to do?" He asked.

"Well, the damn invitations went out a day before this all happened, so now I have to start calling everybody to tell them the wedding is off." She said, shaking her head. "I know that he hasn't told anybody it is off, because none of his family has tried to contact me to celebrate in their victory."

He gave her a questioned look.

"His parents hate me." She went on to explain. "Always have. At least they got what they wanted."

"Don't say that." He said.

Andi shook her head.

"What?" He asked her, studying her face.

"I hate the fact that I still love him." She said, looking up at him.

"Those feelings just don't disappear overnight." He said, sighing.

"It's been a few weeks, and it still hurts to this day to not be with him." She said, shaking her head. "I cry, holding onto a pillow every night, wishing it was him."

Mike brought Andi in for a hug, holding her as she cried. She rested her head on his shoulder, holding onto him, sobbing. He stroked her hair, trying to calm her down. His heart went out to her, but he couldn't help but feel a little relieved that she wasn't with him anymore. After awhile, he heard her sobs become less frequent, and her breathing even out. He stretched his neck to see if he could get a glance at her face, and noticed that she had fallen asleep. He maneuvered the blanket that was on the bed over the two of them, gently kissed her forehead, and then he too fell asleep.

There you have it! PLEASE REVIEW!!! It gives me the encouragement to write more! :) Thanks.
