Hello! Look, I just realized that the format for the last chapter was way screwed up, but after careful analysis I found out what was wrong: I didn't enter twice!!

Dullahan: Yeah, that was really stupid.

Me: Shut up! I didn't see you pointing out the problem, no-brains!

Dullahan: Hey, that's a common misconception. Just because I don't have a head doesn't mean I don't have a brain!

Me: 0_0 Okaaaaaay... I doubt that statement made any sense at all.

Dullahan: Well don't sue me; it wasn't my idea to put a headless knight as the hardest boss in Golden Sun. That's why you can't beat me: P.

Me: Watch it, pal! *Holding cell phone in case of emergency*

Dullahan: Oh, wait; let me get that for you. True Collide! *Casts True Collide*

Me: ... *looking at former cell phone* O_O

Dullahan: Well, before this turns ugly, let's get to the story already!

~*~*~*~*~*~*

When Ivan came up on deck, Isaac was the first to greet him. "So, look who's finally up on the deck," Isaac said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Ahoy matey to you too, captain," Ivan retorted with a small grin on his face. "Ivan of Kalay reporting for duty sir." He made a salute like an actual sailor. The other Adepts were suppressing their laughs.

"Well you disappeared off the face of the deck ever since after lunch time, but we pretty much haven't done anything on the deck that's important. But if you're really bored you can swab the-" that's as far as he got before he saw Mia pass by him.

At this Ivan rolled his eyes but then thought of the sheer bliss of loving some special someone so much that the effects of her just passing by is like falling in love all over again. Then again it seems like all love is bliss. To find an example he looked toward Jenna and Garet, who were arguing again. His guess was that people had unique ways of expressing their love. In Jenna and Garet's case, it seemed that bickering was an adequate way of channeling their emotions. He sighed hopelessly. If he were to ever tell Sheba he loved her, he automatically ruled out the option of expressing it Jenna-Garet style. Shrugging off the feeling of hopelessness, he slowly climbed up the mast.

It was near time for sunset, Ivan realized as he was climbing. He loved to watch sunsets, especially from the top of the mast of the Lemurian ship. When he climbed up though, he was startled to see two emerald green eyes before him. "Hi Ivan," Sheba chirped cheerfully.

"H-hi, Sheba," Ivan replied nervously. His heart skipped a beat again and felt the color go up to his face. "I was going to watch the sunset, how about y-you?"

Sheba gave her soft smile, the smile that made Ivan melt. "I was going to also. Want to watch it with me?" Color was going up to her face as well, although Ivan didn't realize it.

"S-sure," was all he managed to say, and they both sat down on the bench on the mast.

It was quiet while they were waiting for the sun to sink into the sky. Soon enough both of the Jupiter Adepts realized that someone had to break the ice. Somehow, the sunset reminded them of themselves: So beautiful, so silent, so serene, but moments like this don't last forever, although they wish it could. Ivan eventually broke the silence.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked, although that question sounded completely stupid coming from a Jupiter Adept with their mind- reading abilities.

"I'm thinking about how I got involved in this whole quest. When Saturos abducted me, I wanted to get to Lalivero as soon as possible. But it seems like the whole thing was actually a blessing in disguise. If I had not been kidnapped, I would not have found my destiny to light all the lighthouses. I wouldn't have been surrounded by all the friends I have now. I wouldn't have..." she paused. Her hand crept from where it was to near Ivan's hand. "I wouldn't have met you." At that point, Sheba's hand found Ivan's. To say that they were red in the face would be an understatement. To be more accurate, one must say they were more crimson- faced. Interestingly enough, although the regular human instinct would be to pull away immediately, both Ivan and Sheba's hands stayed where they were.

"You know I was kind of thinking along the same lines," Ivan said. "I don't think it was accident that this quest was set to motion. I think it was destiny." At this point, the sun had already set and the moon, almost full, was beginning to rise.

"I think so too," Sheba whispered, as the two drew nearer and nearer...

A sudden rocking of the boat knocked them both over and made both Jupiter Adepts lose their train of thought. The other Adepts were already coming from below decks to see what the problem was.

"What the hell was that?" Felix was the first one to ask.

"I have no idea," was all Ivan could respond as he and Sheba got back on their feet. Sheba stood on top of the bench to get a good view of what was causing the boat's ominous rocking. Suddenly the boat rocked again, but this time Sheba lost her footing and fell over the edge and was going to plunge into the sea.

Dullahan: Who's calling who evil now? You just gave them a freaking cliffhanger!

Me: Yes, I know it's evil, but it's all part of the grand master plan.

Dullahan: Well, if you are to leave your fans with an evil cliffhanger, it is my responsibility as your muse to make sure you update regularly.

Me: Wow Dullahan, *shudders* I think that's the most noble thing you said to me ever.

Dullahan: Nice to you are you kidding? I'm just doing this so no angry mob will come after me!!

Me: It figures -.-;;. Well in other news, I'm glad for the good reviews I got and hope I get more with the making of this chapter.

Dullahan: Alright people, you know the drill. Review time! I wonder if I'll get a part in this story eventually...

Me: Keep dreaming.
