Rose woke to Duo standing over her.

"Morning sleepy head," greeted Duo.

"Morning," smiled Rose. She felt a shudder go down her spine as Duo picked her up.

"Get changed, Okay," instructed Duo.

Rose nodded and headed to her room. "That dream last night couldn't have been real!!!! Maybe I was an actor in a very weird movie," thought Rose. She went through her bag of stuff and took out a simple black dress. She met Duo at the front door, and she noticed that he had a cooler in hand. They walked through the salvage yard and to the docking area.

"Ready," asked Duo?

"You're taking me on a boat ride," squealed Rose with excitement!

"I knew that would make you happy," thought Duo!

Duo watched as Rose looked over the rail with the wind whipping through her hair. He then turned his site towards the horizon. Life near and on the ocean was an uncertainty. No one knew when the ocean would become angry and kill the occupants of the Island or a traveling ship.

"Maybe, this is why I like the ocean so much because my life is filled with so much uncertainty," thought Duo.

Duo smiled as rose wrapped her hands around his. They lightly guided the ship together in complete silence. After five minutes of this Duo shut off the boat and to let it drift. He laid out on a lounge chair. Rose sat on the edge of the lounge chair. Duo watched her pale blue eyes scan the ocean; he had never noticed how sharp her eyes were. Those eyes seemed to hold years of mystery in them.

"Duo," asked Rose?

"Yeah," replied Duo.

"What's your goal in life," asked Rose turning to him.

"My goal in life," repeated Duo. No one had cared to ever ask him that question.

"My goal in life is to have a good job, find the girl of my dreams, buy a nice house, and start a family with the girl of my dreams," replied Duo.

"Oh," whispered Rose.

"What's the matter," asked Duo sitting up?

"It's just my life is so confusing. I just feel so lost," Replied Rose. She could feel tears threatening to run down her cheeks.

Duo wrapped his arms around her.

"Your life will make sense soon," comforted Duo.

"I hate feeling so bloody defenseless," whispered Rose. Her voice laced with frustration.

"It's okay," replied Duo. He pulled her closer to him.

"Things will get better," added Duo rocking her a little bit. Rose leaned her head back against his shoulder.

"Why can't I hide my sadness, and Why the hell am I so bloody dependant on Duo. He doesn't need me to burden him!!!! What happens if he finds the girl of his dreams? I'll just be the third wheel," thought Rose with a sniffle.

"It's okay," cooed Duo.

"It's not OKAY! I'm preventing you from achieving your goals," cried Rose.

"No, if you weren't around I'd be lost," replied Duo.

Rose just buried her face in her hands. She felt lost, vile, depressed, and frightened. She felt Duo hug her tighter.

"Don't you see Rose because of you I'm a better adult," thought Duo. He held her feeling very helpless.

Duo started to gather all his courage to tell Rose what he felt, but once he opened his mouth a little Rose just got up and sat down with her legs dangling over the edge of the boat.

His hopes for a fun filled day were smashed, but he noticed something had changed. Rose had gone from depending and clinging on him; to pushing away with the want of independence. "I know you want to figure things out on your own, but remember I'll always be here to take care of you," thought Duo. He was feeling very unwanted at the moment.

Rose stared down into the dark ocean water. She felt like she needed to get away, so she pulled out the other book she borrowed from Mrs. Brooks. Duo just looked at her, and then pulled out some of his homework.

Rose read with much interest, but as she finished the last line it seemed to echo through her head. "Even If I'm retired I will always have the "P" burned in my skin to remind me of my pirate past." This line echoed through Her mind causing her eyes to widen!
