Chapter One
"Shawn, I'm OK, really!" Belle tenderly touched the swelled bump on her head and gave everyone surrounding her a reassuring look. "It doesn't hurt that bad! Everyone can just go back to what they were--wait! Where is Mimi?"
"I haven't seen her since she bitched at me earlier." Philip shook his head. "I've never seen her that mad."
"Oh my God! I don't see her anywhere! What if she fell off the boat?!" Belle stood up and headed toward the captain.
"What's up with Belle?" Jason had come up behind Shawn and Philip, with Jan at his side.
"She can't find Mimi, and we think she might have fallen overboard when the boat jolted before." Shawn watched Jason's face go pale, while Jan smirked and flipped her long braid over her shoulder.
"Who cares? She's just a homeless loser. No one will miss her if she dies anyway, right Jase?"
"I...uh...um..." Jason told himself that the accellerated beating of his heart and the sick feeling in his stomach was because he was worried, since Mimi was his friend. 'Well maybe AQUAINTANCE is a better word,' he thought. 'GOD, I hope she's ok.'
"You two are heartless." Shawn and Philip walked away, hoping to help Belle convince the captain to turn around.
"Jason, don't tell me you actually feel SORRY for that loser!" Jan glared at him.
"Jan, someone might be dead and you don't even care! I'm sick and tired of being with someone as cold as you! We're over." Jason walked toward the front of the boat, leaving Jan standing by herself with her mouth hanging wide open.

"Are you sure she fell off?" The captain shook his head. "That's never happened to me before!"
"I don't know where else she could be!" Belle was screaming at the captain when Jason appeared behind her.
"Can't we at least turn around and try to find her?" Jason ran his hands through his short blonde hair. "I swear, if you just leave her out there..."
"HOLD ON MAN! We'll turn around and find your girlfriend right now."
Shawn, Philip, and Belle looked at each other in surprise as Jason just sighed in relief.
"Uh, Jase? Isn't JAN your girlfriend?" Philip flashed his dimples when his friend shook his head 'no'. "You finally got rid of her? Man that was WAY overdue."
"I dumped that bitch on her ass before I came over here." Jason laughed, picturing the expression on Jan's face.
"So uh...you like Meems now?" Shawn was confused.
Jason's face fell when he remembered the danger Mimi was in. "Let's get this damn boat moving!"
Belle watched, interested, as Jason walked away. "Way to avoid the question, Jase," she muttered under her breath.
"Shawn, I'm OK, really!" Belle tenderly touched the swelled bump on her head and gave everyone surrounding her a reassuring look. "It doesn't hurt that bad! Everyone can just go back to what they were--wait! Where is Mimi?"
