CHAPTER 8: ACCIDENTS HAPPEN…A LOT
Breakfast was great. Soon after the smell wafted through the ship, everyone was downstairs, looking for some. There was a few of people walking downstairs, talking and giggling, stating loudly, "That smells so good!"
Well, breakfast was eggs, bacon, toast and french toast for those who didn't want eggs. I had a funny thing called a cheese omelet. It was delicious. Kiara had the same thing. Then we got Orange Juice. It was so good! Normally in the ships cafeteria there was only 'Slop,' that had our servings of vegetables, grain and meat. Then they gave us water or coffee. Fruit was too expensive. What an excuse!
When I asked Tsuni where he got all of this food and such, he merely replied with a smile and a wink saying, "I have sources."
Well, everyone laughed and chatted. The ship was on automatic, so our course was set. No one had to worry about driving.
"That was great, Tsuni," I said, getting up. I cleared the table and took the dishes to the sink, and started to wash the dishes. Tsuni walked to my side and started to dry them. Once all of them were washed, I helped Tsuni dry. Marina and Kiara walked out, talking about something. I smiled to myself. It seems those two made friends, I thought, handing Tsuni a dish absentmindedly. He put it away.
"It's a good thing, too," I heard Tsuni mutter under his breath. "Better than them being enemies."
"How did you know that?" I asked, my breath catching in my throat.
"Know what?" he was quick to shoot back.
"You blew it, man," Dies replied, looking at me.
"What are you guys talking about? How did he know what I was thinking?" I asked. This was a complete shock for me.
"Allow me to save you the trouble, Tsuni. Ari, sweetheart, sorry I didn't tell you before, but we're telepathic and telekinetic."
"Woah," I sighed, lowering myself into a chair.
"I know, it's kinda tough. Just don't tell the other girls. It might startle them and they won't even talk to us. Okay?" Dies asked, looking me square in the eye.
"Uh, sure." I felt a little shaken. This is so weird, I thought, trying not to project.
"I know what you mean," Tsuni muttered, drying the last dish. "Oh, sorry," he muttered, when he saw me send a glare at him.
"I'll be back in an hour," I muttered, rising from the table and exiting the room.

"You are so whipped!" Dies cried, pointing at Tsuni just as Ari left.
"What do you mean?"
"She's got you wrapped around her finger," he cackled, smiling in a cocky manner.
"Shut up," Tsuni said, sticking his tongue out at Dies. "Kiara's got you."
"Yeah right!" Dies cried, standing up and glaring at Tsuni. Tsuni glared back. "Okay, okay. Maybe she does, just a little bit. But Ari has you worse."
"No, she doesn't!"
"Yes, she does!"
"No, she doesn't!"
"Yes, she does!"

"Where is the bathroom," I muttered, looking at the map in my room. I found it. It was two floors down, right below the kitchen. "Awesome." I left my room and walked down the hallway, to the staircases and bolted down to the bathroom. It was empty. I closed the door and turned on the water. It came out nice and hot. I let the bath fill up, then I threw all my clothes across the room and jumped in. No wonder why they call this ship the Luxury Cruiser, I thought, smiling to myself. I dunked my head under the water and came out from under the water, wiping water from my eyes. Then I started to do something I hadn't done in fourteen years. I started to hum.

"Where is that bathroom?" Tsuni asked himself, looking at his map. Two floors below the kitchen. There was another one down the hall from it, but he wanted to get into the closest one. "Perfect." He ran down the staircases and when he was on the last stair he heard a very beautiful sound. Mournful, sweet, and hypnotizing. He moved closer to the sound, only to see a half way ajar door. When he heard that beautiful music, he was entranced, and forgot what he was about to do, or wanted to do. All he could hear was this soft seductive lulling, constant and always on beat, pausing here and then. Obviously, it was the Siren pausing to take a breath before the next note came to life from her.
Tsuni paused hesitantly, not knowing what this door was, or why it was open. He then saw it. A loose bolt. Maybe she didn't want anyone to hear, whoever this mysterious woman was, and the door came open. He pushed the door all the way open, and it didn't make a sound. Tsuni was thankful. What he saw was a back turned to him, in a tub. She had blue hair and blond tips and highlights. Everything came tumbling down on him, just then.
In the tub, that was Ari. Ari was humming, and she was…Tsuni couldn't bare to think it. But he couldn't take his eyes off her. Her soft sweet lulling song, gentle swaying as she cleaned between her fingers.
He had to move, and he had to move fast. If she turned around just an inch, she'd see him, and she'd be dead. Tsuni made the big mistake of exhaling loudly.

I jerked and stopped humming immediately once I heard someone behind me exhale. There he was standing, staring. I crossed my arms over my chest, and crossed my legs, just in case he was staring.
He jumped back in alarm. "No, Ari, it's not what you think!"
"Really? You'd know exactly what I think, wouldn't you?" I spat, anger rising in my throat. I was going to get him back for this. I know I didn't even think of a bath until I went upstairs, but, was he reading my mind all that time? "Stop reading my mind!"
"Stop projecting such angry thoughts," he said, turning around. That only got me madder.
"Get out!" I screeched, grabbing the closest thing to me and throwing it at him. It was a bar of soap. It bounced off the back of his head and he turned around, a look of pure anger on his face. I threw the next closest thing at him. A glass bottle of bath crystals. It smashed right into his face, and shattered, cutting him right under his eye.
"Ow, it cut me!" He looked at me confused and pulled out the sharp shard of glass. Then he blinked. "Ow, bath crystals in my eyes!" He clasped his hands to his eyes, and started rubbing them fiercely, and walking blindly into the door frame. I started to scream at him 'Other way!' but he wasn't listening to me. He reached out, looking for a towel and stumbled over the sink, bashed into the toilet, into the door, slamming it shut and stumbled forward, right over the tub's corner, and landed right in the tub, just before I could hop out, right on top of me.
