Chapter 4.......

"Again," Rinoa began, "Selphie was very helpful."

"I agree." Angelo said as best he could without letting the pipe in his mouth fall out. "But I can't figure out how to make music with this." he told her as he looked down at the object with angered eyes.

"It probably only works on land." Rinoa told him. "But we have a bigger problem at hand." Rinoa told him.

"What is this bigger problem?" Angelo asked.

"We have to find somewhere to put this stuff." she said as she began to swim faster as if looking for the appropriate place to put them.

"I bet Irvine would know." Angelo suggested to her.

"Good idea!" exclaimed Rinoa. "I love you and that brain of yours!" she said as she turned around and kissed his forehead. Angelo smiled from the compliment and followed her closely.

"To the surface, right?" Angelo asked for conformation. Rinoa nodded and began to swim faster upwards.

"Where are you, seagull chicks?" Irvine asked irritated as he flew around in a circle over his rock which he usually perched on.

"IRVINE!" a voice called from down below. Irvine looked down and smiled, it was his good friend Angelo. He dove down in the clear blue sky and steadily landed on the rock.

"Hey Rinoa, Angelo." he greeted as he looked to both of them. "What can I do for you?" he asked as he beat his wings lightly.

"Well," Rinoa began, "we are looking for a place to store all this stuff." she told him and spilled out the contents of her bag. Irvine's eyes lit up.

"Wow!" he exclaimed, "that's alot of stuff." he said as he waddled down from the high point of the rock to the low point where they were at. Once he was down there he began to shovel through the objects with his wings. "Interesting" he finally said after a few minutes of rummaging. "So you need a place to put this stuff?" he asked just to make sure he heard correctly. Rinoa nodded. "Well," he began as he walked closer to Rinoa, "this crab told me that right below us and to the left there is a cave that has a hollow inside with little nooks where you can place all of your human objects." he told the mermaid. Rinoa smiled brightly. She gathered up her items and shoved them into her bag. She pushed off of the rock and swim back a few feet with her fins.

"Thanks Irvine!" she thanked him. She waved good bye, and dove into the water.

"We appreciate it." Angelo also thanked and with that he dove in after Rinoa.

"Is this it?" Quistis heard a voice ask behind her. She turned around to find Rinoa and Angelo pulling a large stone slab out of the way of a large opening.

"Now what are those two up to?" she asked herself as she swam after them. Rinoa pushed the slab aside and entered along with Angelo, and the door began to slowly close. Quistis began to swim faster towards the slowly closing stone, she passed through, she thought, until she couldn't swim anymore, her small fin was stuck in the giant rock! She grabbed onto a piece of sea weed and tried to pull herself free, it was a success, but to much of one as she flew forward and into a small rock. She swam back a little ways and rubbed her head. But that didn't last long as she saw Rinoa sitting on a rock in the middle of the cave and Angelo faithully staying right by her side. Quistis looked up and found light cascading from the very top, it was a large hollow cave that sparkled with every ray of light that the sun gave off.

"This is going to holed so much of the treasures that we find." Angelo told her as he looked around.

"I'm ready." Rinoa said, "ready to know all the people know." she told Angelo as she grabbed the book out of her bag and swam up towards the top but stopped half way.

"Look at this." she commanded Angelo, he came swimming up quickly, "dancing, that's what you can do with legs." she told him as she slammed the book and let it drop to the bottom. "and flippin your fins doesn't get you to far." she told him as she began to swim back wards in a circle around the edges of the hollow cave. She swam to the bottom again and picked up the fork. "Look at this," she said, "but who cares, I want more." she said as she dropped the fork and swam up, she swam up to the very top where the light came from she looked out of the small hole, "why couldn't I be there?" she asked. She began to sink to the bottom. "What would I pay if I could spend just one day on the sand?" she asked Angelo as he swam down beside her. She landed on one of the larger shelves and began to stretch out as if she was on a beach at that moment. "I'm a bright young women, sick of swimming, and ready to stand!" she said as she swam down and grabbed the book and swam back up, "I'd ask them my questions and I'd love to get some answers!" she said as she clutched the book to her chest. "like what's a fire and why does it burn." she said giving an example. "But when's it my turn!?" she called out as she swam up to the very top, she stuck her hand through it. "Out of the sea, for just one day, I wish I could be apart of there world." she told Angelo as she sank to the bottom as she twirled around effortlessly. She sank to the rock she was on in the beginning and sat there looking up at the small hole that let in a few light rays at a time.

"Oof" someone grunted behind them. Rinoa and Angelo quickly turned around to find Quistis fiddling with the book that had closed on her small fin.

"Quistis!" Rinoa said with shock. "What are you doing here?" she asked as if nothing had just happened.

"I followed you, I was interested in how you found this place." she told them as she finally wrenched her fin from the large and heavy jaws of the book.

"Well," Rinoa began.

"That's not important right now, what is is that you don't tell anyone!" Angelo interupted her as he got up in Quistis's face. Quistis pushed back and puffed herself up, making her look 3 times the size she originally was. "Stop that." Angelo ordered. "We know your a blow fish and we don't need more proof." Angelo said as he turned away from Quistis and back to Rinoa.

"I won't say anything if you take me along on your next search for human items." she said trying desperately to make a deal with them.

"Fine." Rinoa said with a tone of defeat in her voice.

"Well let's go right now!" Quistis urged as she grabbed Rinoa's hand and pulled her along Rinoa went with her as she pulled her hand, until a shadow came over them.

"What do you suppose?" she asked them as she wiggled free of Quistis's grip and swam out of the cave.........
