Sindy's POV

Brrrrr… I was still cold by the time we returned to the ship. Zane had told me that I did a good job but personally, I didn't think so. Had that been a real life situation, I would've died because of my forgetfulness that I had Spinjitzu…

I took a warm shower and put on a t-shirt with jeans. Then I went into the kitchen and started to make myself a little sandwich to eat. Then I brought it over to my room to eat. While I did this, I saw Nathan coming my way. He seemed tired and I noticed his leg was slightly injured. "Well, someone must've worked out today!" I joked.

He stared at me with an awe like expression before fixing himself up. "Um, I guess. Um, may I join you for lunch?"

Lunch? Hmm, wonder why… "Sure! Always welcome to company; just make yourself something and you could meet me in my room!"

He looked surprised but when I smiled he relaxed. "Ok, see you in a bit then." He went into the kitchen while I went into my room. I wonder where the others are?

*Samson's POV*

So he took my advice, Samson thought to himself, watching Nathan smiling as he placed the mayonnaise on the bread, then frowning every once in a while as he thought of what the heck he can talk about with her...I'll give him some suggestions.

"Hey Nathan," I greeted, coming to his side and taking two pieces of bread. "So, did you do it?"

"Do what?" He placed the cheese on top of the piece of meat.

"Well, did you ask Sindy if you could eat with her?"

He went away from the sandwich and directed his attention towards him. "Of course," he whispered fiercely, "But now the question that everyone is wondering about is...what do we talk about? I mean, I've already found out that you blabbed to Cole about me liking her! Do you know how embarrassing that was? And at first, I thought it was Jay!" He took out a cutting board and started cutting up a small tomato.

"Whoa whoa whoa hold on there! I just asked him to give you a few tips…"

"A few tips?" He stuck the knife into the wood. "A FEW TIPS? You call name-calling, the 'Nathan and Sindy sitting in a tree!' Seriously? You think that THAT'S helpful?" He ripped off a couple of pieces of lettuce and handed some to me.

"Well…"

"Well what?"

"I didn't expect him to do that. It's just a reaction that guys always have! Just like me when I bugged you about it…"

"Which you still do…"

"Because I find it hilarious still!"

Nathan sighed. "You'll never understand…"

I laughed a little, then got serious. "Look, listen when I tell you this: just be yourself. If you go astray from that then they'll notice it: they smell fear."

Nathan looked at him oddly. "I thought that was only animals."

I grinned. He truly doesn't know. "Nope, girls too."

He blinked, placing the second bread on top. "Wow, I don't know much about girls now do I?"

I smiled and patted his back. "Don't worry bud, you'll get it soon. I'll teach ya a couple things after your first lunch meeting with her."

"Lunch…" He looked down at his sandwich, then at the time. "LUNCH!" He put it on a plate and headed over to her room.

"Oh Nathan, when will you ever learn?" I muttered.

"So, Nathan does like Sindy?" I turned to see Jay. Shit.

*Nathan's POV*

Shit shit shit shit…. I hope she's still in there.

I knocked on the door. "Come in!" Thank goodness!

I opened the door, saying, "Hey Sindy, sorry for the…" I looked down and saw she was sitting with Zane. Whyyyyyyyyy? "...late timing, I got stuck in a conversation with Samson."

"Oh, that's ok. Zane came along too so we started talking about today's training."

"Oh really? What happened?"

"Well," Zane started, "I had to give her a feel of what it was like out in the cold so the best way to do that was making her come to the cold."

"Note: WITHOUT A JACKET!" Sindy said as I sat down.

"Oh, well, why didn't you bring yours?" I asked.

"They accidentally 'lost' it, so to speak. But oh well right? So he made me take a boat and manage it on my own through the torrent, cold waters. And then right after I land, I have to walk up the hill to meet him. After that, I find out that I was set up!"

"Meaning, I had her face a Frost Gator…" Zane said.

"With only a katana! But, thankfully, it did not hurt me badly, otherwise I'd have to hurt Zane badly. But, I don't want to do that so…"

"What about you Nathan?" Zane asked, "How was your training? I'm sure Cole didn't give you much trouble right?"

"Much? Well, let me tell ya, it was hard, but nothing I couldn't handle! Hey Sindy, you know those proportion things right?" She nodded. "Well, I actually had to use that to find out which mountain was the highest!"

"Seriously?" she asked in disbelief. Gotcha.

"Yeah, and you should've seen the mountains; they were hard to distinguish each other from." Then, I went into detail about how I had to climb the mountain. Then I went on in saying how I fought off Cole using a scythe and how I got him here and there and how I knocked him off his feet twice. "Twice? And with an injured leg?" Sindy asked.

I grinned. "Yep. But, like you always do, I got back up and did it."

Sindy laughed and looked to her legs. "Yep; when you fall…"

"You get back up," I finished. She flashed me a look I had not seen before. It was a look...of interest. Those brown eyes...they are so...so…

"Nathan? Are you ok?"

I shook myself out of my trance and saw her staring at me curiously. "Um, yeah, of course I'm ok!" I smiled and took a bite out of my sandwich.

She continued staring in curiosity until she finally just shrugged it off. "So, what happened after that?"

"Well, he took me out but then congratulated me on what I had succeeded on, though, I still got plenty to learn."

We finished our food in silence. Before I could try to bring up something else, Jay came barging in. "Guys, serpentine have invaded a nearby village! Come on!"

We got up quickly and headed to the main room with the large monitor. Jay started to manage the ship. "We're setting a course to the Kainala Village," Nya said. "We got some Hypnobrai, Constrictai, and some Venomari over there."
