I'm back! Whee! OK, here's a chapter that focuses on my favorite character, Tetra. Enjoy! (And if you wanna see more, review and let me know.)

A/N: I'm going to reload the last chapter because there were some problems with the paragraphs, sorry, I'll try to fix it in this chapter. It's just that when I copy and paste it from Microsoft Works the wraparound is really different. Anyway here's chapter 2.

Tetra sighed and stared into the mirror. She was not at all satisfied with her reflection. "Wish my hair wasn't so boring," she muttered. She'd spent a half hour trying to decide what to do with it before giving up and trying to decide on what perfume. Tetra and her crew had explored every inch of the Great Sea, and she'd always liked to collect little souvenirs along the way. Although the pirate girl didn't care much for wearing perfume (or people who wore it, for that matter) occasionally she just liked to..well, smell pretty.

Once again, Tetra found herself gazing into the mirror. Her ragged old pirate clothes were dirty. Her favorite blue vest had a rather large tear in the side, and her neckerchief made it seem like she had no neck at all. She frowned, fiddling with the knot. It fluttered to the floor, laying by her feet like a discarded napkin. There!, she thought, much better. Hmm.. now what.. ah, the vest! Tetra quickly shed her vest, which she kicked into a heap in the corner. "I'll deal with that later," she said to herself. "Now I need to decide on a dress."

Tetra also loved collecting dresses. She never had much use for them, but occasionally a dress would catch her eye. The simple ones were often the prettiest, too many bows and sequins failed to impess her. She looked through her closet for her favorite dress. She knew it was in here somewhere.. aha! Pulling the curtain over the door shut, she made a mental note to install a door with a lock. The curtain always made her feel like she was being watched. Glancing uneasily at the door to make sure that nobody was around, she quickly shed her everyday clothes and pulled the sleek pink dress over her head.

Tetra headed back over to the mirror to experiment with hairstyles. She undid the tight bun she usually kept her hair in, letting it tumble down her back. Simple, but elegant, she thought to herself. Just like the dress. Perfect.

Makeup. Oh, how she detested makeup. Niko, that little oaf, had given her some for her birthday. Not wanting to hurt the swabbie's feelings, she'd kept it on her vanity, and there it remained- untouched, of course.

The very thought of it made her cringe, but in the end her desire to impress Link was too much...

Gonzo nearly dropped his dinner as his captain sauntered into the galley. "Oh, dear Goddesses! Miss Tetra! What happened to your face?"

"Watch it, Gonzo, unless you'd like to spend a week as Niko's swabbie, I advise you to withdraw your comments about my makeup." She casually poured herself a glass of water.

"I'm sorry, Miss, it's just that.. well..." he trailed off.

"Oh, I understand. I've spent my entire life with an all male pirate crew.. girly things aren't exactly my style.." she blushed. "M-maybe I should just go wash it off."

"Oh, no! I think it makes you look.. well, very pretty.." Gonzo's cheeks burned. Tetra smiled, regaining her confidence. Gonzo had always had a crush on Tetra. He wasn't terribly subtle, though, so of course the keen pirate girl had known all along.

Gulping down the rest of her water, she replied, "Thank you, Gonzo. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a date.."

Ooh, look! I actually finished another chapter! Woohoo! I know it's a bit short, the next one should be longer, I hope.
