The whole group was in silence when they first reached open ocean. Felix was steering the ship, accompanied by Piers, Kraden had already issued a disagreement between him and Mia about her hair color, (his favorite thing to talk with Piers about when he wasn't discussing Piers' age.), Ivan was staring thoughtfully into the ocean, Jenna and Sheba were above deck, chatting quietly, and Isaac and Garet were standing around idly doing absolutely nothing. Isaac kept looking up at Jenna, casually leaning against the rail. It had been a long time since he had talked to her, and before they joined up, he was constantly worried about her. At least it was good to see her safe.

The sound of Garet's grumbling stomach disrupted Isaac's thoughts.

"Hey, I'm starving," he said. "I'm going below to find some food. You want to come?"

"Nah, I'm fine," Isaac said. He decided now that Garet's gone he would go to up to see Jenna. No offense to Garet, but he didn't want him tagging along at his first chance to talk to Jenna. When Garet disappeared, Isaac walked over to the ladder, and climbed it. "Hey guys," he said to Jenna and Sheba. Sheba giggled then said,

"I'll leave you two alone," and giggled again before climbing back down the ladder. Jenna blushed a little, and looked down at the deck below.

"It's been a long time," Isaac said after the first few awkward moments of silence.

"Yeah," Jenna said quietly. A few more seconds went by.

"So, um, how you been?" Isaac was desperate for conversation.

"Good, I'm, good," Jenna found herself mumbling. After all this time of wishing she could've talked to Isaac at least once, now she found her tongue tied, and she was suddenly too shy to say much. Silence issued.

"MY HAIR IS NOT A FREAK COLOR!!!" Mia's voice broke the silence. This made Jenna and Isaac both laugh. It actually felt good to Isaac, and it seemed to cut some of the tension between them.

"Boy, Kraden sure doesn't know how to make a good first impression," Isaac said.

"Nope," Jenna said. "You should've seen him when we first met Felix again. He babbling on about how he should cut his hair. Felix was so irritated that he was about to cut Kraden's head off."

"Would've done us all a favor," Isaac said. Jenna gave a small laugh, but soon the eerie silence settled between them once more.

"Hey, um, so where's Garet?" Jenna asked. She really didn't care much about him, but she was also desperate to talk about something.

"He went down to look for food," Isaac said.

"Oh no!"

"What?"

"Knowing Garet, he probably went into the Fud Puntri, thinking it was Food Pantry spelled wrong," After seeing Isaac's confused face, she added, "That's Lemurian for Useless Stuff Closet. Kraden got stuck under a huge stack of useless junk when we first boarded the ship looking for an apple. It's way on the bottom of the ship, so no one can hear the crash." Isaac was still confused. Then without warning, Jenna yelled, "FUD PUNTRI!"

"FUD PUNTRI!" Sheba and Felix screamed at the same time.

"F-f-f-fud pan- I mean Pun-tri," Kraden stuttered taking his own sweet time.

"Eh, what? OH DARN! Not again, I have to clean the mess for the fortieth time!" Piers cried. "Who ever opened it this time will have to pay."

"Who ever yells Fud Puntri last has to clean up the fallen items," Jenna explained to an even more baffled Isaac, while giggling at Piers misfortune.

"Oh, so it's happened more than once?" Isaac asked.

"Kraden is very forgetful," Jenna said. Isaac chuckled.

"Only Kraden," He said. "And Garet," he added after a second of thought.

They never reached their destination that night; so, they put the anchor down for the night. (This means there was a very confused gamer who thought that something was wrong with his game because a random cut-scene came up about Fud Puntries, and he decided to save his game, and turn the Gameboy off to play when it wouldn't be acting so weird.)

The stars were twinkling above. It had been a long and exhausting day, but Jenna wasn't really tired. She took a walk around the deck to sort through the zillion things running through her mind.

"So, what did you and Isaac talk about?" Jenna turned around to see Sheba's expecting face.

"That's none of your business," Jenna said. She didn't want to admit to her that their conversation was pretty much strained talk.

"Oh come on," Sheba begged. "I'm not the only one who wants to know! Felix said you looked pretty distant after talking to him, and wanted to know if Isaac hurt you in anyway so he can beat him up..."

"What?" Jenna exclaimed. "That doesn't sound like my brother." Sheba shrugged.

"He said Isaac and him weren't exactly on good terms yet." Then she continued. "Piers wanted to know what you see in quote, 'that stupid blond kid', end quote, anyways."

"Well, we just talked about...stuff," Jenna answered, while wondering why Piers would care about that kind of thing in the first place. The only possible answer make her shudder.

"Oh come on, there has to be something juicier than that." Sheba cried, starting to get a little impatient. "Garet's paying me for this info. Oh and by the way, he fed me a little piece of Information about Isaac you might want to know."

"What?"

"He said that Isaac has been worrying his butt off about you," Sheba said triumphantly. "Ivan confirmed it, and Mia came over with a very jealous look on her face." Sheba winked. "Looks like you have a little bit of competition. Well, good night." Sheba patted Jenna on the back, and walked away, leaving Jenna to ponder all these facts in her head, in sudden silence and lonesomeness.
