The next day, dark clouds filled the skies, and the seas were pretty rough, but they sailed on anyways. Most of them, excluding Piers and Felix, ran under the deck to avoid being thrown over. The ship rocked constantly, and everything was thrown about the cabins. To avoid crashing into everyone (and everything) , Jenna snuck down to a different room. She needed to be alone anyways. After Sheba clearly pointed out Mia flirting with Isaac that morning, she had an odd feeling in her stomach.

"MONSTER!!" Piers called down from the deck. Jenna heard everyone rushing into the open deck to battle it, but Jenna stayed where she was. They could battle a stupid sea creature on their own.

"Jen?" A voice ventured down to where she was sitting. Jenna looked around and saw Isaac coming towards her. "Are you ok?"

"Isaac, don't they need your help above?" Jenna asked, even though she knew she should be up there as well. Isaac smiled.

"Nah, it's only a couple of squids, I'm sure six experienced adepts can handle that," He said. Then he repeated, "Are you ok?"

"I don't feel very good, that's all," Jenna said meekly. It was odd how all of a sudden she felt her stomach do back flips when around Isaac. He put his hand on her forehead; this made her blush.

"Well, you don't have a fever," Isaac said, taking his hand off. "But do look flushed.

"Since when did you become a doctor," Jenna said in a weak attempt at humor.

"Well, if you want a more professional opinion, you could always talk to Mia about what's wrong," Isaac said smiling, but with worry in his eyes.

"Nah, it's not that bad," She said. "I'll survive."

The feeling was so odd to Isaac. Although Jenna insisted she was fine, Isaac was still worried about her. It wasn't exactly like before when her life could've been threatened, but somehow different. He looked down at her into her eyes. Though they were a plain brown color, but he had always though Jenna had pretty eyes...

"Um, Isaac," Jenna's voice brought him back to reality, but before another word could be said, a huge slam threw them around the tiny room.

"Jenna!" Isaac exclaimed when he stood up. His head was pounding, and he felt a little dizzy, but for some reason, he wanted to make sure Jenna was okay first.

"Isaac," She moaned.

"Are you ok?" It seemed to be the Question of the day.

"That chair flew into me." Isaac held on to the wall to steady himself, and once he wasn't seeing double any longer, he spotted Jenna on the floor amidst the ruins of a chair.

"Are you badly hurt?" Isaac asked in a concerned voice.

"My head is killing me, and I have a few splinters, but nothing too serious," She said. She tried to stand, but the ship continued to shake, and her attempts were useless. Isaac slowly made his way over, and helped her up. She used his arms to balance herself.

'Wow, I never thought Isaac was so buff," Jenna thought to herself, and she giggled.

"What's so funny?" Isaac asked.

"Oh, nothing," Jenna replied. Isaac looked into her eyes again, and she blushed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked in a playful manner.

"No reason," he replied.

"Isaac! Jenna! You won't believe what-"A completely soaked Garet ran into the room, and Isaac and Jenna turned to face him. A sly smile came over his face. "Oh, maybe I should leave you two alone." Jenna blushed an even deeper red.

"Um, that's ok," Isaac answered, not sure how to react. He and Jenna hadn't been doing anything, but it was still embarrassing to have his friend think that. "What were you going to tell us?"

"If you insist," Garet grinned. "Well, this major wave hit the ship, and after it all, calmed down, we couldn't find Kraden anywhere. We think he fell off!"

"What did I do now?" Kraden come out from a random door. "And what hit the ship. I was sitting on the toilet, minding my own business, when B-b-bam! I was thrown all about." Jenna crinkled her nose, not wanting to imagine what it was like, which made Isaac laughed, but Garet was upset for some reason.

"False Alarm!" He called up.

"False Alarm?" Ivan's voice drifted down questionably. "What do you mean?"

"Kraden's alive!" He shouted, and groans were heard.

"T-tell them that they might need to tidy up the bathroom," Kraden said.

"GET PIERS DOWN HERE TOO!" Garet yelled. He rolled his eyes and walked back the floor above.

"Well, I'll be down here if anyone needs me," Kraden told Isaac and Jenna after Garet left, and he exited into another random door. Isaac and Jenna looked at each other, then walked back up. They were greeted on the stairs by Piers.

"Oh, hi Jenna," He said with a smile, then turned to Isaac coldly, "Hello Isaac." Then he retreated downwards.

"What's his problem," Isaac asked.

"I dunno," Jenna mumbled, but Sheba's words echoed in her head. 'Piers wants to know what you see in that, quote, dumb blond boy, end quote, anyways.'

Meanwhile upstairs

"Guess who I found in each other's arms right now," Garet told Ivan when he went back up.

"Who?" Ivan asked.

"Isaac and Jenna," Garet said, with a mischievous smile.

"What?" Ivan exclaimed.

"What were they doing?" Sheba asked, butting into the conversation.

"I don't know for sure, but it sounded like they were flirting with each other," Garet said.

"I don't know, but I think Mia has gotten a pretty big hold on him," Ivan said.

"Well, Jenna has been obsessing over Isaac ever since I've met her," Sheba cried out.

"Sssh," Ivan whispered, not wanting them to hear what they were saying. They had just come up from the stairs, but they didn't seem to hear. They all looked up, and then continued their conversation.

"See? They're barely talking to each other," Ivan pointed out, but Garet shook his head.

"Ivan, Isaac's had a crush on Jenna ever since the big storm," Garet said.

"I have an idea, why don't we bet on it?" Sheba challenged Ivan. She threw a few gold coins on the table. "I'll say Jenna, you say Mia."

"Count me in," Ivan said with a glint in his eye. He dug through his pockets and took out some shiny coins of his own.

"Jenna," Garet put in the largest amount of coins there.

"Are betting on who Isaac will get together with," Mia hissed coming over. She didn't want to draw attention to the group either, but Isaac and Jenna were already looking over to see what was going on.

"Yeah, you wanna bet?" Garet said coolly.

"No way," but there was a look on her face that was a mixture of hurt and confusement. She walked away in a huff.

"Ssssh, Isaac's coming over," Ivan warned, and they scooped up the bet money in a bag, and hid it under the table.

"Hey guys, what's going on," Isaac asked when he reached them.

"Oh nothing, just getting to know the guys," Sheba gave a sugary sweet smile. Piers came up again, and Mia pulled him a side for a moment.

"Oh, Isaac, can I see you for a moment?" Mia called out when she released Piers.

"Sure," Isaac went over to her. Piers came and put a large amount of coins on the table.

"Mia for me," He said. Then after a second he added. "And Miss I-don't-wanna-admit-I'm-betting-on-myself over there also donated.

"Excellent," Garet's eyes lit up when he saw it. It all went in the bag. They watched Jenna wander over to Isaac and Mia.

"Excellent," Garet said, hoping for a catfight.

"JENNA!!!" Felix called suddenly.

"Darn!" Garet grumbled.

"JENNA!!!" Felix screamed from the deck again. "JENNA COME HERE!!" Jenna stood up and walked out. What could Felix possibly want from her?

Outside, the wild had grown wilder, and the deck was slippery. The skies were as dark as midnight even though it was only mid-afternoon. She slowly made her way to Felix, who was steering the ship.

"What did you want me for?" She asked when she reached him.

"Piers seems like he's busy, and I need someone out here with me," another wave hit the deck, and Jenna lost her balance for a moment, but Felix let go of the rudder for a second to catch her. "Watch out," He warned, then continued, "Besides I need to talk to you."

"About what," Jenna asked.

"Make yourself comfy first of all, because we'll be here a while," Felix said with a smirk. "So, what's this relationship between you and Isaac?"
