-Travis' POV-

Marie looked nice, I mean seriously attractive. She was too busy running to notice me standing where I was, I barely notice when Issac came to stand next to me.

"I've known her longer."

I looked at Issac who was looking straight ahead with his fists clenched.

"Nice to know pretty boy."

I knew the nickname would annoy him and I was right. Issac looked like he was about to punch me but I didn't expect him to have enough guts to actually do it. I thought wrong. The pain seared through the right side of my jaw. In a second I slugged him in the arm twice as hard and spit out the blood in my mouth.

Issac pulled out his sword and I did the same.

"She would never choose someone like you over me."

I gave a cocky grin and egged him on.

"Look at me, how could she say no?"

"You don't know Marie, she won't choose you when she can be with someone who has a brain and knows what she's like." Issac countered.

"Maybe she wants someone who doesn't look like a girl and can protect her."

"She likes to be independent and I can protect her!"

I began to bluff, "if only you were here earlier to hear about the things we've done together...in her room," I raised my eyebrows.

Issac smirked. "We've been doing stuff since we were twelve." I couldn't tell if he was lying or not.

-Marie's POV-

Both Issac and Travis were being idiots and it was making me look bad, part of the crew was gathered around watching them talk and my reaction. I finally understood why they had been acting weird to eachother. Jack crossed his arms and I was surprised they couldn't feel his glare.

When they started lying about me and them together that was the last straw. My temper flared and I hit Travis, who was closest to me, harder than I've ever hit anyone before in my life. Issac was next and he got the same punishment.

"You two are filthy lying dogs!"

Hot tears burned my eyes and I tried to blink them away.

"When we find the jewel your biggest flaws are going to be that you are liars, bigshots, and jerks!"

I stomped to my room and slammed the door. Elena wasn't there and I was glad, I locked the door and sat down on my bed then laid down. I had never seen Issac act like that before, and I wondered if I had just never knew his true self.

I pulled my covers over my head. Even though I'd seen Travis get cocky with me the first time I met him I thought he had gotten better. What I really wanted to do was punch them both again. They had taken it a step too far implying that I'd done stuff with them.

Someone knocked on my door and I stayed silent.

"Marie we're sorry." Issac called out through the door.

"Yeah we really are!" Travis chimed in.

Their words sounded sincere enough but I didn't believe them. Even now as they were talking I could here them shoving eachother outside my door.

Immature idiots. Stupid egotistic jerks. Annoying brats.

"You have 10 seconds to go make your lousy selves useful before I cut off your ears!"

Normally Jack's threat would've made me laugh, but right now I wasn't in the mood.

"Take a nap Marie and we can train more tomorrow."

"Yes Jack."

I curled into a tight ball under my covers. For the first time since being choosen to be part of the crew I felt homesick. I wished my mom was here, she would've been able to cheer me up. I thought about how I would act when around Issac and Travis when I came out of my room. I couldn't bring myself to care enough and I fell asleep.

When I woke up it was a lot later. No more light spilled through the crack under the door. I opened the door and casually walked throught the ship to the dining room, I was starving. I avoided looking at the crew members and thankfully none of them said anything. Maybe Jack had threatened to cut their ears off too, the thought made me smile a little this time.

As I went by Gibbs he patted me on the shoulder, neither of us stopped and we both continued on our way. Dinner hadn't started yet but I grabbed some of the steaming hot food anyways. The cook didn't protest.

I headed to Jack's office and knocked on the door hoping he'd be in there.

"Come in."

Both him and Elena were sitting around his desk eating. I pulled up a chair and joined them.

"The wind has been mighty fair to us, we're making good progress," Jack commented.

That started a round of conversation between Jack and Elena which I listened to. I glumly chewed my food and listened to them talk like old friends. Whatever had happened in the past was behind them and they seemed to be growing closer everyday.

Hope you liked it! :D Please review?
