A new wave of confidence swept over him and he leered at her as she circled him. Rehteah circled twice, before he said "Hey, baby." Rehteah glared at him and decked him hard as hard as she could,

putting all of her strength and Force power behind the blow. He wasn't

expecting it and fell to the sand, holding his sore jaw.
"What
the hell?" he demanded.
"That was for what you did to me earlier." She kicked him in the
side
as hard as she could and he doubled over in pain. "And *that* was
for even talking to me in the first place." Rehteah then picked him up by his throat and started to punch him in the face. After Shane's face was swollen and almost unrecognizeable from bruises, she chokeslammed him down on the sand, on top of a conch shell. Then she was on him,
punching, kicking, scratching, pulling his blond hair and using every other
fighting technique she knew, including a sharp kick to the groin which caused
him to scream shrilly, doubling over in agony. She then watied until he got up, before she took to the air and dropkicked him back down. She flicked out her switchblade and slashed at his bare chest, drawing blood.
When he finally managed to throw
her off of him, he tried to get a good hold on her, but she threw sand in his eyes and took to the air again. She came down just low enough to score a direct
hit with a sidekick to his face, knocking him down again. "Had enough?" She asked. He just glared at her, wiped the blood from his mouth and pulled at her
dark blue sarong skirt in reply. Miraculously, it only got a little lower, but Rehteah kicked him in the face. " What the hell do you think you're doing, you stupid bastard?" Rehteah picked him up by the thorat again, picked him up and used her Force powers to throw him at a passing tour boat.

Kit was still riding on the waverunner, waving at the tourists, when she saw Shane hit the side of the boat. ~Ow, that's gotta hurt.~ Kit thought. ~But, who did that stupid bastard piss off now?~ Kit steered the waverunner in the direction of the shore.

Kit saw Jin and Rehteah talking, pushed the button that turned the waverunner back into a capsule and walked to them. "Hey, what happened? I saw Shane hit the side of that tour boat over there." Kit pointed it out. Jin and Rehteah explained what happened. They took one look at Shane trying to swim ashore with one wounded arm and one broken one, before Kit said "The law of karma works again." She kneeled down, picked up the capsule and walked away. Nobody noticed the black, scaly head that saw Shane or the figure that helped him get to shore.

Shane was in heaven. Aside from having the Gillian girl that saved him translate for him, the group of Gillian girls nursed him to health. They let him eat with them, as well. A sandy brown gillian said something in Othertongue, which she translated as "I'm Kappa and
Naga said that main reason why because we all think you're cute." "Well, thank you very much." "Okay. We can all have a party in my
cabana. There's a hot tub, a jacuzzi and a pool for a few, ah, water sports
after dark." Kappa said something in Othertongue to the group, who all sounded solemn, before she translated "Group wants to know if there is chlorine." "I think so. Why?" Kappa translated, before she told him "Sorry, but if we get chlorine in water, we get sick, maybe even die." "Oh." He said with disappointment, before he said "Well, we have the ocean." Just then, Nagera came to the shore, her legs in a graceful fish-like fin with the sarong skirt around it, her long, seafoam-green hair over her shoulder. "Hey, beautiful." Shane said in English. "Are you allergic to chlorine?"
Nagera rolled her eyes in reply and said something to Kappa in Othertongue. "Nagera says that some humans sent her to come get you." Nagera's fin turned into legs, which her pink sarong skirt clung to and she held out her hand, saying something in Othertongue. "Nagera says hurry up before she changes her mind." Shane grinned and grabbed her hand.

Nagera took him to-"Jin?!" He turned to Nagera and said to her "That crazy bastard tried to kill me." Nagera said something, before she sat down. Kit was explaining what anime was. "Thank you, Nagera." Jin said to her, before he turned to Shane. "You stupid bastard." Jin said slowly as he reached into a cooler. "You should know not to mess with my girlfriend. But, you keep doing it anyway. I don't understand why. Do any of you?" They all shrugged and shook their heads. "Nobody understands it. Can you please enlighten us?"
"What can I say? My sexiness just scares people. But, one day they'll all come to see that I am God's gift to all and they will want to make love to me." At that, Kit and Nagera laughed, leaning on each other for support. "What? What's so funny? You will." "I seriously doubt dat." Nagera said in English. She spoke with a slight Panamanian accent. Shane stared at her in disbelief.
"You... can speak English?" "Of course." "But... but I had Kit translate for you." "I might be able to speak and understand your language, but my friend, Apa can't. Anyway, I needed to have de teengs you were saying confirmed." "Oh." Shane was still blushing, when Nagera decided to show Jin, Rehteah and Shane to their cabanas, leavine Kit alone.

Blondie came running up a while later, kicking up sand. "Hey, watch the sand, girl." Kit told the dog playfully. Blondie settled into the sand in reply, rolling over. Kit smiled at the dog and rubbed her belly. "At least you can keep me company. Where's Ping?" Blondie moved her muzzle in reply. Kit looked in the direction where the dog was pointing and saw Francesca, clad in a pink four triangle string bikini, talking to Ping and laughed. "Hey, Blondie. Five dog treats says that they're going to their cabana together." Kit saw the two walking away hand in hand and said "See? Told you." Kit gave the dog the treats. James found where Kit and Blondie were and sat by her. "Well, if it isn't my two favorite girls. How are you girls doing?" "Fine, thank you, James." Kit replied happily, while Blondie barked happily. "Glad to hear that." "Sit with us, James."

Nagera dropped Shane off to his cabana, while she showed Jin and Rehteah to theirs. "Dere you are. Dis is your cabana for your stay. Arachne and Wizard have already rented de cabanas for a while. Here are de keys." Nagera gave them the keys and walked away.



Ok, here's the last of what we have for now. There's gonna be more to it, though.
