-Chapter 6-
_________________________________________________________________________
Linka and Wheeler were laughing their heads off when they got
into the Geo-Boat after Linka, who taken it out for a spin because she
wanted some "alone time", nearly "drowned". It had all been planned by
she and Wheeler- she would go out into the deeper waters, sit on the
side of the Geo-Boat, and, arms flailing, would "lose" her balance and
fall into the water. After a few seconds of flailing in the water, she
would start to sink and Wheeler would swim out and "rescue" her. Once
back to the surface, they would go to the Geo-Boat and have their talk.
So far, so good, Linka thought, still enjoying the fact that they had
both found some time to talk with each other and pulled a prank on the
other eight Planeteers- and it wasn't even April Fool's Day! That fact
alone started them laughing again when Linka mentioned it.
"Hoo! That was fun! I can't believe we actually did
that!" Wheeler said, out of breath from "rescuing" Linka. All he was
able to do now was talk about it and laugh.
"Da! I almost laughed while I was 'drowning',
Wheeler! But where would we be if I had?" she asked with a blush.
"I don't know, Linka- I just don't know." He looked at her blushing
face and smiled. It was times like this that made her look like a
princess to him. Then he turned slightly more serious when he said,
"Did you mean it when you said I was yours on the beach?"
Looking up at him, seeing his eyes staring into hers, she said,
"Well, I also said that it was up to you. Do you remember that?" She
had said it kindly, unhurriedly.
"And I'm saying I'm yours if you want me, Linka." He replied. Then
he figured he'd better rephrase it, just in case she was in shock.
"In other words, do you want to and will you be my girlfriend? I know
it isn't Valentine's Day, but I would like to know." When she hugged
him, that was answer enough for him.
When he kissed her, that was answer enought for her.
When those on the shore saw them kiss, that was what they were all
waiting for.
When Zarm saw it, however, he got very angry and vowed to get back at
Gaia and her friend Gaius- using these two lovebirds as bait.
