Author's note~

I think I really screwed the last chapter. *slaps herself* Language! Anyway, I hope I'm in the writing mood. I be writing as much as I can during my free block before science. I think I'll give you the links to the pictures later (ones of Novia and Corbin as felines and whatnot). I drew out some scenes even. I wonder why I made all my characters Hispanic. I mean... I'm Asian! So, I hope no one got an idea that I was all racist or something. I just think... it would have been interesting. ^-^' I should get some Welsh in there. Hehe. But I don't know Welsh. O_o' I was hoping the name Corbin was Welsh, but it's Latin. Oh wait, I just got inspired!!! Better start before I babble too long...

Not much to say now. I just hope my story is interesting, and that I'm in a writing mood. -_-'

Ugh, another bad day. Sheesh, I should really finish this though. Oh great I just realized a flaw in my story. Oh well. Please forgive me for messing this thing up.

Reviewers~
Wild Magick Girl- Thanks for reviewing again! ^-^ I think I'll make Corbin the mischievous one. I'm always drawing him grinning secretively anyway. Whoosh. I wish I had a plot planned out or something. I never plan. -_-'
Alana the Rain Goddess- Ooo! You reviewed again, too! YAY! I'm sorry if I confused anyone. Must make things clearer and more descriptive. Hope you enjoy this chapter, even though I haven't even written it yet! =P
Rosaline- Thank you for reviewing. ^-^ I'll be sure to go to you for name suggestions and meanings and such. I love those kinds of things. I loved the sarcastic convos they had in their minds, too! I think that's the only thing I liked about that last chapter...

Chapter 6~
Getting On

Novia needed some time to think. Things happened too fast for her. -What is Corbin DOING here?- She lost her interest in jet skiing. She wanted to go back to her room and figure things out. What was she supposed to do again? Something about the Six... She'd already forgotten. -Oh no... it was really important-

She walked back to the others. -Who are these people? And how'd they just... APPEAR? Is it just coincidence?-

'Novia! Come quickly!' her mother called. They were heading onto a dock with bobbing jet skis all in a row, like ducks.

'I got that one!' Barney yelled with excitement. He pointed at a one with bright colors with reds, yellows, and blues.

'Hang on, Barney. We need to see who's going with whom.' Vasco pulled him off the jet ski, which he had jumped on.

'I'll go with Mr. Alondra then,' Barney stated clearly. 'Can we still take that jet ski over there?' He pointed to the colorful one again.

'Sure, whatever you want.'

'Mind if I come along?' Simon looked at the jet ski with excitement.

'No, of course not!' Vasco laughed, reminding Novia of Santa Claus.

Novia turned to her mother. 'Can I ride with you?' She felt she could not have fun with these strangers. She would stick close with her mother.

'Of course, honey.' Mrs. Senalda smiled.

Novia smiled back, happy.

'Um... I suppose I'll go with you, Miss Alondra.' Jane stated. She was somewhat glad. Surely Miss Alondra wouldn't go too fast for her, but she also wanted to be with her brothers. -Why do these things have to be so fast and small?-

Barney jumped onto the jet ski as though it were a saddled horse. 'Come on, Simon! Let's go!' He beamed a smile as bright as his hair.

Simon quickly followed, excited himself. He'd never ridden a jet ski before. None of them have. 'You can go as fast as you want to Mr. Alondra. We don't mind.'

The boys grinned. 'You want to go fast, huh? Ok then, fast it is!' Vasco Alondra laughed heartily. He made the jet ski growl with impatience by pressing on the gas. As soon as they were all seated comfortably, they speeded away.

'YAHOO!!!' Barney screamed with delight.

Jane bit her lip as they turned and drove against the raging waves of the river. They were soon out of sight.

'Ready, Novia?' Her mother asked.

'Yea.'

They rather carefully sat themselves on the vehicle. 'I haven't ridden one of these in so long!' Mrs. Senalda recollected her memories, trying to remember how the thing worked. 'You don't mind if I go fast do you?'

'No, not really,' Novia said absentmindedly. She never knew her mother as a "fast" person and didn't think they would go too quickly. -Maybe in her mind it's fast. She must just be worried I'll fall off. But of course I won't- She held onto her mother's waist, just to fasten herself securely on.

'Let's go!' She slowly led the jet ski out of the shallow water and the rocks. Then with a sudden jolt, the jet ski took off. Novia clamped her eyes shut and squeezed her mother's waist. The wind whipped her face. -Sheesh. Who knew she could-- Her thoughts were interrupted as water soaked her body. She was somewhat protected since she was sitting behind her mother, but the sudden jolts and bumps made her feel as though she would fall any moment.
