The sun rose with an excellency of brilliant light on Crescent Island.
The light covered the Island, warming it to the warm Nasrean conditions.
The light was stricken across the Island, as the pirates who lived there awoke.

Kirala, the Yafutoman builder left her room early, and stretched, looking at the bright new day.
"What a great day to work!" She said, lifting her arms high, getting the cricks of the night out.
She did a few exercises, then walked to the new docks she had been working on.
She picked up a wrench she had left there, since she had been working so much! And she smiled at the half built dock.
"Time to get to work!" She exclaimed, glad the weather conditions were so great, as she prepared to work.

Aika woke up a loud noise outside her window, though it wasn't loud at first, it came as a dull pounding.
Dull, but then became a thud in the back of her mind as she fought to stay asleep.
She turned, snuggling to her very warm covers, when the noise became a notable thud, and she couldn't stand it anymore, she sat up and looked around.
'Must be Kirala working on the dock' Was what she thought, as she stood, and began to dress, and put her hair in their infamous gravity-defying position.

After she was done, she stood before the mirror smiling, as she looked herself up and down.
Satisfied with her looks, she left her room and headed to the tavern, where Vyse was sitting, going over something as he ate.
She quietly snuck up.
"HEY!"
He turned quickly in his seat, and it nearly came out from underneath him.
"A-Aika!? Don't DO that!"
She laughed and sat across from him, as he settled himself back down.
"Sorry bout that! But you know I couldn't resist." She smiled, and then blinked at the pamphlet thing he was reading.
"What's that?"

"Huh?"
Vyse looked at the little book and smiled up.
"Just some ideas Kirala wanted to share for improvements on the base."
"Awesome!" Aika exclaimed, excitedly.
"That sounds really cool! Any good ones?"
Vyse nodded, smiling, flipping though it.
"That's the problem, there all so good!"
Aika laughed, and the door to the tavern opened, and in walked the beautiful Silvite.

Aika and Vyse's head turned to their friend who smiled at them.
"Good morning Vyse. Good morning Aika." She said politely, walking over and sitting beside Vyse.
Aika grinned, but inside..
"Hey Fina!" She greeted cheerily, as Vyse smiled at the beautiful Silvite.
" Hey Fina, did you sleep well?" Vyse inquired, and Fina nodded, smiling at her friends. "Very much so, thank you."

Vyse, Aika and Fina chatted a bit, when Kirala walked in.
"Hey Captain! Hey girls!" the Yafutoman builder said, grinning at Vyse and his companions, walking over to were she could get some water.

"Hey Kirala, how's the docks going?" Vyse asked, watching the Yafutoman, who grinned even more so, as if possible.
" Very well! I'm having lots of fun! Heh, you won't believe how good your docks are gonna look!"
Vyse laughed. "I bet they'll be great."
"You bet!" Kirala said, taking a gulp of water, sweat running down her face.
Aika grinned. "This is so cool Vyse! I'm gonna go check out the docks!"
Vyse smiled. "Ok. Oh, But Aika?"

Aika stopped from getting up, and looked to her brown haired friend, ever sense she realized her feelings for Fina, she feared he would find out and..

"We're gonna go out for a while later, so be ready, Ok?"

and he would never guess, because Vyse was rather naive.

"K!" Aika grinned, winking at him, then she turned to Fina, and almost blushed, but held it in.
"Seeya later Fina."
Fina smiled at her friend and half-bowed as she sat in her chair.
"Good Bye Aika, I will see you soon."
Aika grinned and winked at her to, though she hated to leave the goddess.

She stood and Kirala walked over to her.
"I think you should try a bit harder for Vyse's attention!" Kirala whispered, and Aika turned red.

If only she knew..

"Hahah! Its ok! I won't tell him." Kirala grinned, and walked out, Aika, still red walked and turned to shout a final farewell to Vyse and Fina.

She stopped as she saw Vyse's hand go over Fina's shoulders.



And she left the inn, her eyes downcast.
