"There really isn't privacy around here," Jenna commented on their way back to the ship.

"Yeah, but what else can we expect," Isaac said in a small voice. He was staring at his feet as he walked. They really didn't speak much more than that for the rest of the walk. Piers wasn't outside, but several trees were uprooted from the ground.

"Wow, Piers really has made some progress, though it looks like he finally employed the use of pysnergy," Jenna said, trying desperately to break the ice between them.

"Yeah," Isaac said quietly. Jenna decided not to push. She knew too well that he sometimes became distant, and when that happened, it was best to leave him alone. Just a few minutes after they boarded the ship again, Garet came in, followed by Mia a few seconds later. Mia had an odd, sort of dazed look on her face.

"Ok, the holes are boarded up, and just to be safe, I asked Kraden to check it out," Piers declared, coming up from the boy's room.

"And..." Felix said.

"Well..." But before Piers could answer there was a moan from downstairs.

"Help me," Came Kraden's voice.

"So all the boys get their own broom closet," Piers said, as if that answered the question.

"Shouldn't one of you go help Kraden?" Sheba asked.

"Well, we should," Piers said. Everyone looked at him. "Ok, ok, I'll do it all by myself, again." And he trudged down the stairs.

"Um, Jenna, can I talk to you outside," Mia stammered after everyone was back to doing their own business.

"Oh, sure," Jenna replied, but she grew anxious. She was afraid this was going to be about Isaac. They stepped out and walked around to the other side of the ship.

"I need your advice," Mia started. "Since you have a brother, and you and Isaac are-"

"If this is about Isaac-"

"It isn't" Mia assured. Then she added sheepishly, "It's about Garet." Jenna was shocked there for a moment, but she quickly collected herself.

"What about Garet?" She asked.

"Well, he's been dropping all these hints lately that he likes me and stuff, and well, I don't know how to respond," Mia said very quickly. The ship's door opened, but they ignored it.

"Oh," Jenna said. "Well, do you like Garet?" Mia looked down at her feet where she was tracing invisible lines in the floor. "Go on, I promise I won't laugh."

"Well, I do get these chills where ever he touches or hugs me, and you have to admit he's kind of cute," Mia said with a small giggle. Jenna didn't even want to think about thinking Garet was cute, so she nodded just her head and said, "Go on."

"Well, I just don't know what to do," Mia said. "I figured you know a little more about the male brain than I do, and you have hung around Isaac and Garet your whole life, not you mention you do have a brother."

"You try reading Felix's mind once, and then come back to me," Jenna said with a laugh. "Even Sheba has trouble doing it."

"Sheba tries to mind read his brain?" Mia asked.

"Well, once when I dared her too, besides, Sheba reads all of our minds," Jenna explained. "And I think Ivan is starting to do it too."

"Well, back to the subject, what should I do," Mia said.

"Tell him how you feel," Jenna said. "He probably hasn't picked it up yet. You know and I know Garet isn't the smartest person on board."

"Yeah," Mia said, with an idea popping in her head. "Thanks Jenna, you're a big help." Jenna just stood there. All she did was tell Mia to tell Garet how she felt.

"Um, anytime," Jenna said. They walked back around the ship. Piers and Felix were starting up the ship.

"Hey girls," Piers called out. "We're leaving now, if you want to warn Kraden to grab his baggy." Felix rolled his eyes. He knew Piers had been eavesdropping on Mia and Jenna since they came out, but he didn't care to call attention to it.

"So Piers, now that Mia is taken, who are you going to try for next," Felix asked when they girls left. He steered out into open water and north towards Prox.

"Well, there still is Sheba," Piers said thoughtfully.

"Hah, good luck," Felix said.

"Oh, come on, don't you think I have a good chance?" Piers asked. "After all, young girls do love older men." Felix snorted.

"Riiight."

"I'm doomed for life aren't I?" Piers said, hanging his head.

"Well, I'm sure when you go back to Lemuria, you'll find someone," Felix answered, cautiously looking out for any monsters.

"Sure, the closest girl to my answer is 153 years older than me!" Piers exclaimed.

"Now you know how the other girls feel around you," Felix said.

"Yeah, but they have Garet and Isaac," Piers said dejectedly.

"Well ,you can always try charming Sheba," Felix suggested.

"You're right! Sheba will love me!" Piers jumped for joy. Felix cringed at the sight.

"Monster," Felix yelled before anything else could be said. A large sea dragon jumped on board. Isaac, Garet, and Sheba rushed out, and killed it in seconds. Garet kicked the carcass overboard.

"Hey Sheba can I talk to you," Piers pulled Sheba a side for a second as they turned to go back in.

"Listen Piers, I don't go for guys a hundred years older than me," Sheba blurted out.

"How'd you know," Sheba tapped her head, and he sighed. "Oh, right. That."

"Well, don't let it get to you," She patted his back. "See ya," and she left.

"You're doomed," Felix said after she left.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"So this one is yours?" Mia asked peering into Garet's closet, which looked like it could barely fit a Djinn, much less Garet.

"Yep," Garet said.

"You know, Garet, I think I'm very fortunate to have you," Mia said with a coy smile.

"What do you mean," Garet asked, confused.

"I think you know what I mean," Mia said. Garet suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, and how do you figure that?" Garet asked. It wasn't what Mia expected him to respond, but she went along with it.

"Well, you talk to me when I'm upset, you always have your own unique way of doing things," Mia said. "And you did try to save my life on Jupiter Lighthouse." Garet smiled.

"So, I guess, I'm your knight in shining armor, eh?"

"Yep."

"So, in another way of putting it, this is what you mean," Garet brought his lips down on hers in a kiss, then pulled away after a second.

"That's exactly what I mean." Mia said in a small voice, but a huge smile was stretched on her face.
