Chapter Two

The girls now paid full attention to Rue, whom was looking over the edge of the boat. He was in awe.

Green Hared Girl: Did you KNOW her?!?!

Boy: No...who are all of you, anyway? My name's Rue...

Green Hared Girl: Uh, you know Ves' name already, right?
Vesuvianite: I would ask, that you do not call me that. Call me Vesuvianite.

Blue Hared Girl: Oh, and you know Dumortierite...my name's Hemimorphite. Hemi for short. But, just because I have a nickname...

Black Hared Girl: My name's Neptuninte...call me Neptune. I like that better...

Green Hared Girl: Her sister's name is Uranianite...(snicker)

Neptune: Don't have a sick mind, you perv.

White Hared Girl: Oh! And my name's Vivianite. Uh, call me Vivian. Less conspicuous.

Green Hared Girl: Variscite. (whispers in Rue's ear) I'd tell you...watch out...Ves can read minds if you're not careful...(steps back) ^___^;

Vesuvianite: I heard that.

Rue: Um...

Vesuvianite: Wait a second...(evil look)

Vesuvianite walks off and down the ramp to the lower part of the boat. Variscite grins broadly as the other girls all look questioningly. Rue, however, is beginning to be creeped out by Variscite and finally asks...

Rue: Why are you grinning so wide???
Variscite: She's...I don't really know.

Vesuvianite: (walks over to Blood and Smoky...who were hiding behind the crates) Hello, stowaways...you know that you are illegal?
Blood: Shut up, woman!
Vesuvianite: (appalled) Stupid mortal!!!

Smoky: She's right, bro!!!

The two hoodlums stare wide eyed before jumping over the side of the ship.

Vesuvianite: Good riddance...(walks back to others) We shall arrive at the dock in 10 Minutes 21 seconds, exactly.

Vivian: (sigh) She scares us sometimes...

Hemi: (sarcastic) Sometimes?
Dumortierite: Ugh. I am bored stiff! Silvara!!!

Rue watched in shock. A white bird as large as a person swooped out of the sky and onto the boat. Vesuvianite gave Dumortierite a "you are so impatient" look as she went off. Rue stared out, first at the shimmering blue sea, then to the town, and finally at the group he was presently traveling with. Finally, they reached the docks, to find Mint lying there, unconscious. A blonde man sat next to her...

Vivian: (rushes over) Is she all right? Is she dead? What happened to her after-

Man: Don't worry, Miss. She's fine.

Vivian: Oh, good. And...my name's Vivian, if you'd like to know...

Man: All right, then. My name's Davis, I run the docks here. It's pretty slow around during the times...it only gets somewhat busy when the ships come in. And, about her, it's kinda my job to retrieve people out of the water, too. Oh, and I'd watch out for those two...look like trouble. (points to Blood and Smoky, who are running off)

Vivian: Okay! (goes back) I'd say!!! The people here are sure nice!

Hemi: As opposed to?!

Dumortierite: Oooh...nice, eh?
Vivian: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!

Alexandra: Like it? Hate it? (shivers) Victoria, thank you for reviewing!!!!!

Vesuvianite: Chosen Dragon Guardian and Protector of the Blue Planet...if anyone is a creature, it would be you. My reasoning, I am (Can't tell you-spoiler). THAT'S why I can do that type of thing. I am NOT a creature, thank you very much.

Hemi: If you're not a creature...stop acting like one!!!

Vesuvianite: You know I'm more powerful and...you're pushing it. R&R. Now.
