" NOOOOO!" screamed Jay. He looked around, all the other mallrats were staring at him. He wasn't being stabbed by Zoot's female look-alike, he was on a boat, going away from the city. He looked at his hand, he still held the crystal.
" Jay, are you ok?" asked Amber
" yeah, just a bad dream," said Jay.
" land ahoy!" said the boat captain. Jay groaned and stood up, he helped Amber to her feet and planted a kiss on her lips.
" Ebby, we're almost at the docks," said Slade gently into Ebony's ear. Ebony opened her eyes and looked up at Slade.
" did I tell you that I love you today?" asked Ebony. Ruby looked over at Ebony and shot her a dirty look.
" Sal, we're here!" said Lex, hugging Salene. Salene smiled.
" all right, kids gather here," said May. Gel, Sammy, and Lottie trotted over to them. Trudy roused Brady, Daryl picked himself up, Ram stood up and stretched and Jack lifted the still-sleeping Ellie up in his arms. The boat pulled up to the dock.
" good luck in life, and there's a place in the village you could stay," said the captain.
" thanks!" said May. Ram helped Ruby off the boat and they hurried up the path.
" Ruby, can I talk to you for a moment?" asked Ebony, pulling Ruby aside.
" didn't really give me a chance, did ya?" snapped Ruby.
" look, Ruby I'm sorry I pushed you into that car ,I wanted Slade and would do anything to get him I know you don't care how I feel or that I'm sorry but It was worth a try," sighed Ebony.
" did you just say you were sorry?" asked Ruby. Ebony swallowed her pride and nodded. Ruby smiled and pulled Ebony into a tight hug.
" it's ok, your forgiven," said Ruby. Ebony smiled and hugged Ruby back.
" is this happening?" asked Lex.
"shut up, Lex they're trying to have a moment," muttered Ellie from Jack's arms.
" Ebony can actually be very loveable," said Trudy," she comforted me when the Technos got Brady,"
" and this is coming from Trudy," snapped Lex.
" shut up, Lex she saved your life when your had blood poisoning," said Salene.
" how many times are you guys going to tell me to shut up today?" smirked Lex.
" JUST SHUT UP!," screamed everyone in unison. Lex grinned but didn't say anything. Ruby and Ebony came back over to the rest of the tribe. Lex opened his mouth to say something but was silenced by Ebony and Ruby both telling him to Ôshut up'. For the rest of the time following the path up to the city Ruby and Ebony walked together, arm in arm babbling about absolutely nothing.
" look at those two!" said Slade
" just two days ago they were at each other's throats!" said Lottie. The Mallrats watched Ruby fall and Ebony helped her up. Finally they reached the village. They looked around and saw lots of little shops and buildings scattered around. They looked for the place the boat man had told them about. It was in the center of the town, two big wooden buildings. One was a barn, the other on was an inn. Jay pulled Lex away from the others and gave him the crystal. Lex walked up to the door of the inn and knocked.
" Jay, are you ok?" asked Amber
" yeah, just a bad dream," said Jay.
" land ahoy!" said the boat captain. Jay groaned and stood up, he helped Amber to her feet and planted a kiss on her lips.
