------------------------------------------------------

Andrea watched the Black Rose disappear. She scowled.
"Andrea, lighten up!"
"Elina, why should I?"
"Cause Deya's famous for her attitude." Kat came over.
"So? She was so mean?"
"You're her cousin, Andrea. Haven't you heard about her lifestyle? Its amazing she turned out this nice!"
"No, I haven't do tell."
Elina shrugged.
"Love to but I have work to do."
"I'll tell it."
"Cadet Starth! Aren't you on cooking today?"
"Damn! Sorry Andrea."
Kat went below deck. Elina followed.
Andrea wasn't to give up so easily. She knew they both would have told her but they did have work. She wished she was being trained. It would be alot more entertaining.
"I know."
Andrea searched the ship and found Kyle in the long boats.
"Kyle. Do you know anything about Captain Deya?"
Kyle nodded.
"Yes. Though she isn't mentally processed into me, meaning the chip doesn't say anything about her, I know a fair bit."
"How?"
"Deya does alot of work for the Navy but she always returns to Cressian where her dead family is."
"So thats why you know so much. Because you read papers about her and such. Do you know the story? Of why she knows Jim?"
Kyle nodded and examined the long boat. Andrea sighed and sat down.
"Deya went on the Treasure Plaent voyage. As you know the story blah blah blah. But the part that was amazing was down sized. JIm went out on this make shift surfer he and Silver made. The ship followed, your father steering."
Andrea grinned remembering hearing what her mother thought of her father's ship driving.
"Anyways, Jim's board failed him and Deya went after him on a board she had brought with her. She told him to take her board. Her board wouldn't support both of them. She let herself fall as he went on to save the ship. All he saw was a flash of green light."
"So why isn't she dead?"
"No one knows except her. Actually I think Jim does, but if he does he's never told."
"Wierd. Something to find out."
"I wouldn't bother. She came into the shop one time. reporters hounding her. She gave a few bloody noses and I think broke ones leg. They asked ehr and repeated it. She gave no answers and proceeded to browse. She bought a surfer, jumped on it and flew out ofthe shop, the reporters still following."
Andrea nodded.
"Kyle, how long before we land?"
"About five hours. For Deya, two."
Andrea snarled slightly and left Kyle. She found ehrself going towards Kep.
"Hey Kep."
"Andrea! Get me out of here!"
Andrea sat down out of his reach even though he was chained up.
"Why?"
"Because I'll leave you alone after this!"
"What about my mother?"
"You're a smart one Andrea."
"No, I'm witty and sarcastic!"
"Shame Kep, you would have done fine had you kept your head down."
"I had to! I was forced to! Now that this is over, and I go to jail for a year, I'll get out and try to straighten up my life."
"I'm not falling for this."
"Okay, so most of it was my desicion. But I was asked to do it. I want you to speak at my trial."
"Ya sure."
"Really?"
"Yes, against you!"
"I need you to defend me!"
"I can't! You hurt my friends!"
"You could do both?"
"I know. I guess I will, Kep. You owe me big time!"
"You can say that what I did is true, but tell them about me. Or what you knew of me."
"I still know you and can beat you at cards anyday!"
Kep nodded.
"I'm not giving you my full word. Too dangerous. Umm, going now."
Andrea left, leaving a rather stunned Kep. As soon as she was out of sight and earshot,s he leaned against the wall.
"How could I do that? Help a pirate out?
But Andrea knew. She had seen the decent side of Kep, and wanted him to succeed.
Andrea shook her head and continued on, searching around the ship.

Amanda was rather bored out of her mind. She had spent her last two hours with her two siblings. One with David, going on and on about the stars.
Terry on the other hand, played cards and talked about books.
Amanda had stolen the cards and was thinking of burning them. Even better was that they had different books on the as a design.
Amanda ripped a card up, slowly relishing the sound. She couldn't stand to be on this ship much longer. It was so pointless.
Amanda jumped up as her mother appeared.
"Oh Mumsy?"
Amelia rolled her eyes. This was one of Amanda's ways of being rebelious.
"Yes Amanda?"
"When do I get to get off of this boring poitnles and stupid ship?"
"I know you're still mad about the competition."
"Of course I am! Dad would've taken me!"
"Your father has no idea about surfers. He would never let you surf if he saw you."
"Carl would have come with me!"
"And you know how I feel about Carl."
Amelia's tone suggested the end of the conversation but Amanda wasn't about to give up.
"So what?"
"Amanda, can you survive five more hours on this ship? Five?"
"No! I wanted to go on.."
"Amanda will you give it up? So you couldn't go to one competition. Its not the end of the world!"
Amanda glared. Amelia left. She hadn't come downstairs to pick a fight.
Amanda continued ripping up the cards.

Andrea passed her mother who was looking perplexed. Andrea noticed something else but held the fact in her mind.
Andrea came down the stairs to see Amanda looking furious and was ripping up cards.
"Amanda, what up?"
"Mom."
Andrea knew better than to press the situation. She had tried that before.
"You wanna go surfing?"
"How? I brought my board but what about you?"
"I bought one awhile ago. Come on."
They proceeded to find the boards and prepare. Then Andrea grew bored of waiting and set off. Amanda not to be outdone followed her. They flew away from the ship and its gravitational pull.
"So what did you do all morning Amanda?"
"Listened to David go on about some star that was going to explode and Terry about some "amazing' author. How do you manage to listen to them?"
Andrea could always listen to her siblings talk.
"I'm a listener. It's how I learn."
"So how come you could never listen in school?"
"Har, har."
Andrea sped up her board and flipped it.
Amanda not to be outdone did a double.
"Look an asteriod belt!"
"Bet you I can do a better grind!"
Amanda raced ahead and grinded her board on the asteriod.
Andrea did the same on another. They swerved the asteriods trying to out do eahco ther with tricks.
Suddenly they were out of the asteriod belt.
"Awww."
Amanda sulked. She lookd over to Andrea who had wide eyes and looked petrified.
"Andrea, what's up? You like like Terry when she first went on a board."
"Amanda, did you listen to David when he talked about the exploding star?"
"Ya, a bit. He said it was in the west near the ship."
"Amanda perhaps you should learn to listen. Run!"
Andrea turned her board and sped out of there.
Amanda looked to the west to see the star exploding. Sher turned her board and followed Andrea.
Andrea stopped.
"Amanda, we can't get through!"
"What!?"
"Look the belt's gotten tighter! We'll never make it. Our only option is to skim along the belt."
"What!"
"Skim along the belt. I'll go below, you go high. If you find a spot go through."
Andrea turned her board and sped downwards. Amanda went upwards.
Andrea felt her fear grow and it suddenly subsided. She couldn't let herself freak out. She could feel the heat of star now.
Amanda foudn it. Perfect spot.
"Andrea!"
Amanda stopped. Andrea was too low for it.
Andrea looked up. Amanda had found a spot.
"GO THROUGH!" Andrea yelled.
Amadna could feel tears running down her face and went through. She flew right to the ship and reached it easily.
"MOM! MOM!"
Amanda jumped off the board letting it crash.
She ran up to the stateroom.
"MOM!"
Amelia came out.
"What now Amanda?"
"Its Andrea! She's in trouble!"
"If she played a trick and your pride is wounded, get over it."
Amanda burned at the words.
"No Mom! DAVID!"
David appeared.
"Yes?"
"There's that star thingy exploding out to the west right?"
"Yes, I was hoping.."
"Never mind that. Mom Andrea's right by the star! She's trapped by the asteriod belt."
"Bloody hell."
Amanda and David were stunned to hear their mother swear.
"Well, we must go help her!"
"But we can't!"
"What do you mean David?"
"We go close to it, we all die."
"Can we take out a long boat?"
"Nope. The belt's too tight."
"So all we can do is hope."

Andrea was now terrified. She was avoiding melting rock missiles. She looked helplessly at the "belt" which showed no opening. No one could help her either.
This kept up for an hour. She was surprised she wasn't dead yet. She was faint and had many gashes. She felt glued to the surfer. It would be ncie to give up.
She sped up the board. It had great source of energy. Solar. sher wanted to laugh. I'm still alive because the star is blowing up and giving off light, which was keeping herself from being melted.
"Girl you alright? How long you been doing this?"
Andrea felt someone grab her board and her. As she was lifted onto a boat she lost conscious.
