Mel-Oh my god! This is cause for celebration! (pulls out streamers)

Rick-We need music!!!

Jacques-(pulls out Stereo from big bag of useful crap) Wee! (turns on)

Stereo-I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world...

All-STACY!!!

Stacy-Sorry...

Sheba and Isaac looked form one blushing Mercury Adept to another. Mia took no notice of this; she stared at Piers for a moment, then her eyes lingered over Isaac and Sheba. "Um... Would you mind if we could get a moment alone...?" she asked. Sheba nodded and tugged on Isaac's arm, gently pulling him away. "'K" Isaac said simply. "See you later then" Sheba said, before leaving to the ship.

Isaac walked down the hill to his own house, but not before turning around to look back at Mia and Piers. He saw Piers nod, and Mia suddenly jumped into his arms and placed a kiss on his cheek, hugging him tightly. Isaac stared for a split second. Then he turned and ran back home, his face turning redder with each step. He ran through the now dark town, racing to his house. He stomped in and slammed the door shut, then stomped up the stairs to his room, muttering all the time under his breath "Why Piers? Why did you pick Mia...?"

Sheba sat in the crow's nest of the ship, watching the night fall upon Vale. She was bored as hell. From her perch atop the mast, she could see absolutely everything in town. Isaac running into his house, Garet and Jenna staring up from the bridge that hung in front the waterfall, Mia and Piers talking downstairs, Felix was on the dock near his house, tracing circles in the water and Ivan... Sheba's eyes scanned all over the town. Where WAS Ivan? She shrugged and stared up into the sky again.

Her peaceful thought were interrupted by a small rustling. She turned quickly, staring at the rope ladder that lead up to her haven. It was swaying. Sheba blinked for a moment. Piers and Mia were still on land... "Isn't it past your bedtime?" A voice behind her said. Sheba jumped, then turned quickly and slammed her fists at the person behind her. Ivan blinked as Sheba's fist stopped right before his forehead.

"Oh! Ivan!" She said, surprised. Ivan smiled at her. "So this is were you always go at night..."he said, leaning on the railing. Sheba joined him, leaning besides him, nodding. "This is my little haven" she said, staring into the sky's heights. "Where I look at the stars and planets and Vale and Sol Sanctum and all the other things..."

"You never struck me a star-gazer..." Ivan said, raising his head to the sky. The two stared into the stars, a moment of serene silence passing. "I love the stars" Sheba said, breaking the silence "They remind me of my favorite move..."

"Astrial Blast?" Ivan cut in. Sheba nodded "How'd you know?" she asked. Ivan shrugged "I guess... it suits you..." Sheba tilted her head to look at him. "Really? How so?" Ivan's eyes stayed fixed on the sky. "It just reminds me of you... It's such a pretty move and so strong, just like you." He said, hoping the shade of night would hide his blush.

Sheba giggled. "That's sweet. I mean it." She said. Ivan just nodded and continued to look at the sky. "You want to know what move you remind me of?" she added. Ivan finally looked at her, intrigued. "Which?"

Sheba smiled. "You remind me most of Angel Spear. You make everybody stronger, and we wouldn't be able to beat half our fights without you..." Ivan raised an eyebrow. "You sure about that?" he asked, half joking. Sheba nodded seriously. "I mean that..."

Ivan and Sheba stared at the sky , silence coming once more. "Sheba?" Ivan asked softly. "Have you ever been afraid of telling someone something?" Sheba nodded. "Always... why?" she answered. "I'm afraid to tell you I..." Ivan paused. "Go ahead, tell me." Sheba said obliviously.

"I love Sheba..." He said, barely audibly. Sheba gasped. "Ivan... I... I..." She turned and raced down the steps, leaving Ivan up in the crow's nest alone...

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()Mia and Piers were on the deck when Sheba rushed past. She turned to speak to her, but the young girl just went to the cabin she was used and locked the door. Mia stood there surprised, when Ivan walked past her. He stared straight ahead, walking towards his cabin and slammed the door locked just like Sheba.

Mia and Piers just stood there, confused. Mia turned to Piers. "Well... Now where am I going to sleep tonight?" Piers shrugged. "You could bunk with me..." Mia just stared at him with a raised eyebrow. "Right...I don't know where that came from either" He said.

Mia sighed. "Just go to bed Piers" she said. "I'll go check on Sheba" Piers nodded and left to his cabin. Mia watched him leave, then headed to Sheba's cabin. She knocked on the door, gently. "Sheba?" she said "It's me, Mia."

"Go away!" Sheba shouted from inside. Mia sighed. "Sheba? Is something wrong?" Mia asked, while thinking 'Obviously...' "Doesn't take a genius to figure that out!" Sheba shouted, still not opening the door. "Err...Do you want to talk about it?" Mia tried again. Sheba sighed, then got off her bed and headed to the door. She slowly opened it. "Well?" Mia asked.

"Ivan said he loved me, it ruins all my plans, life sucks, the world sucks, everything just sucks ass..." she said very quickly, then slammed the door again. Mia waited for a moment. Sheba opened the door again. "Well? What should I do?" she asked.

Mia smiled. "First off, you should repeat that more slowly..." Sheba sighed, then stepped aside to let Mia in. The two sat on the bed and Sheba spoke. "Ivan old me he loved me..." she said, deciding against repeating the same thing as before. "Well what's so bad about that?" Mia asked. Sheba shifted away. "It... it.. just messes up everything..." she said.
