Once and A time of too much loqua:Chapter 2

In our last scene we Find our three friends waking up to a very strange predicament. What will happen now? Lets find out shall we.

Morning on Crescent Island was very...um.. strange that day. First off any one who was sleep was awakened by a very loud yell emanating from Fina's room. But its is highly unlikely that anyonewas asleep. Do to the large amounts of loqua they had all consumed all had equally large hangovers which amplified the sound to the point that it was as if a canon had gone off right next to their head. "Well that's a perfect way to start the day Vyse butt-naked in bed with Fina and Aika." Vyse said to himself while hitting his head on his palms.

Meanwhile Fina was still sitting in her bed. Question popping up in her head faster than she could answer them; like what was she doing naked in bed with Vyse and Aika or what where they doing here in the first place. 'What happened last night' Fina thought as she sat in bed. Still not completely believing that it had actually happened. Elsewhere Aika was...'Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God'. "That didn't happen. Yeah right I'm just hallucinating from the loqua yeah right." She said with resolve...a resolve that crumbled away as soon as it had come.'Oh my God oh my God oh my God'. Morning was strange to say the least. After the hectic start of the day Crescent Isle was back to it's normal hustle and bustle. People walking around Ryu-kan's anvil sounding as he repaired various weapons. The sound of hammers as Kirala and Izmael repaired the buildings from storm breakage. All was normal except one very noticeable thing. The captain and his two friends seemed to be avoiding each other .

Now as everyone on the island knows Vyse, Aika and Fina are almost never apart from each other so some thing must have happened. When ever they would see each other they would seem to kinda shy away avoiding speech. This continued for a few weeks. But did not go unnoticed by those who witnessed it. Especially the elderly that where there.So Ryu-kan being Eldest made his way to Vyse who was currently staring out at the sky. "Does something trouble you young captain?" Ryu-kan said to Vyse hoping to gain some sort of ground on what happened between the three friends. Vyse who was deep in thought was broken off of his train of thoughts by Ryu-kan's words. "Huh? Oh it's you Ryu-kan. No-no I'm all right." He said "Hmm...Then I'll say only this: A lone tree will fall against the wind when it is without company." Having said what he had come to say critic as it may be Ryu-kan left the young captain pondering his critic words. Even though Vyse didn't grip it well he got the meaning of those words.

Brabham went to see Fina who was currentlysitting by the fountain while cupil flew around her head in lazy circles. "Ya know it can get mighty lonely when you have no one to be around ya know.".He said indirectly to her as he was walking by. "Yep mighty lonely." He said passing her by acting like he was talking to himself . Fina watched as he disappeared into hanger. Surprised yet confused that he seemed have had read her thoughts to the tee. She sighed. But he was right it seemedvery lonely without Vyse and Aika to be around her. Having made up her mind she set off to find her friends. Aika was busy eating a gallon of ice cream in the tavern( how she managed to get the whole gallon with Polly and Urala present is a feat unknown). Izmael walked into the tavern. Noting Aika in the corner he began to talk to Domingo about his time on the open seas when he was younger. He told him all about his friends and the adventures they had shared. "Um hmm. Ya know you should treasure your friends they might not always be here tomorrow." He said loudly enough that Aika could hear him. Aika stopped eating with the spoon halfway to her mouth. As much as she didn't want to think about it he was right no one lives forever. So she decided to go find Vyse and Fina...after she finished her ice cream that is.

The three elders met at the war room exchanged glances then brought there eyes to Ryu-kan. "All is as it should be?"He said. They each nodded their heads. "All is as it should be." He said one more time and they each left and went their own ways like they had never been there at all.

It was later on in the afternoon but the three people in question managed to find each other. It was an awkward moment they just kinda stared at each other before they greeted each other in the same nervous tone. "Hi." They each said in unison it wasn't much but it broke the ice. After that things seemed to feel better as if the whole island was under a cloud of gloominess that just blew away. Form there three different points on the island the elders watched the seen unfold before them with one thought going through each of their heads 'All is as it should be'.A few days past and it was as if there was never any problem in the first place. Until today, Fina was never one to be sick but this morning she woke up feeling less than okay as she maid her way running to the bathroom emptying her stomach.(A/N: we know what that means don't we?)

Looking up in her mirror wondered if she had ate something bad last night as she was indeed feeling much better. 'That was...strange.' She thought to herself. With Aika the morning went a little better. It was around lunch time and she was talking to Fina. The next thing she knew she was running to the side of the island throwing up. It wasn't to long before this started to become a regular occurrence. Every other few hours you would see Fina or Aika running to the bathroom or to the side of the island.

At first they just wrote it off as something bad they had ate. Then as soon as it started to get bad it stopped, and the girls just blamed it on a cold or something. But it was much more than a cold as they would come to find out later. Vyse had been busy the last few days off deep in thought about starting a relationship with one of the girls, but he had come to a critical point in his thoughts...which one? He mauled over the possiblites in his head. then he hit a bump if he were to start a relationship with one how would the other take it? Remembering an old saying he once heard he decided to wait awhile before making a choice. At that exact moment he got that strange same feeling he had after the loqua incident a feeling that's like your body is telling you something your mind doesn't know or like you've done something bad and you don't know what you did. At this exact moment Fina and Aika walked around the corner and the feeling turned from a bad feeling into a spine tingling feeling like you know something life changing is going to happen.

"Vyse...Vyse...VYSE!"Aika yelled effectively knocking him out of his zombified state of mind...and off his chair. "Are you okay vyse you have that way out in space look on your face when your thinking about something". "Im okay Aika I was just wandering...ah never mind, so are you two feeling any better?" "Yeah lots actually I think this thing is finally clearing up." Said Aika. "Okay it I'm getting hungry have you two ate yet?" "Not really but we would love to join you Vyse." said Fina. At the tavern Polly and Urala were busy cooking for the crew. The food was set out buffet style so you could just get what you want and sit down. As always the table at the top right corner of the building was reserved for Vyse, Aika and Fina. Aika was the first to sit down not by coincidence she was also the one with the most food then Fina who sported a larger than normal plate of food herself then Vyse. As they started their usual lunchtime conversation Vyse began to notice what the girls where eating. "Umm Aika not that I'm bothered by it but why are you eating pickles and cake?" "Don't know just had a craving for it." "Okaaay". He didn't say any thing but he noticed that Fina was eating her own weird combination of cheese, ice cream and chicken. 'Weird' was the one word going through Vyse's mind but he decided not to ask about it and wrote it off as a girl thing.

In truth Aika and Fina themselves didn't know why they had gotten what they had gotten. As if on cue both stood up and ran straight out the door. ignoring the strange looks they got. Straight to ths side of the island they ran and then proceeded to vomit. Vyse who was just looking at the spot where they had just run out from turned around to find all eyes on him giving him the 'What was that all about?' look. He just shrugged his shoulders and every body else went back to what they where doing. Once again Vyse wrote it off as just another strange occurrence. By this time Aika and Fina had finished throwing up. "Aika why does this keep happening to us." Fina asked in a voice that was a mixture of sad and questioning. Aika stood up . "I don't know but I know where to go to find out." At this time of day Ilchymis was always busy mixing up new potions and stronger cure so one would always find him in his make shift lab scurrying around .

Holding a conversation with him would always be some what strange because he never made eye contact and was constantly moving from one place to another mixing various jar charting finds and such. It was weird seeing him like this kinda like he was talking to you but only using the smallest part of his brain while the rest of it was focus on what he was doing. For this reason many didn't talk to him while he was in this state figuring that he really wasn't listening to what you were saying. As for right now he had his face buried in a book while mixing some strange blue fluid to his side. "Hey Ilchymis." Akia greeted the busy doctor. "Good day." he said to her not even rasing his head. "Ilchymis we were wondering about some thing. We seem to be sick and don't know what it is we have could you possible tell us." "What are your symptoms?" he asked while turning the page of his book and writing something down whilst still mixing the blue liquid which had turned azure blue.

"Umm let's see We are vomiting a lot, we have had strange food cravings and we can't seem to get enough to eat." "How long since it started." He asked. "About four weeks ago." Said Fina. "Your both pregnant." Was his simply reply as he continued his work as if nothing had every happened. Time seemed to stand still for Fina and Aika. They just stood there...then just sort of walked away a little. It took a minute to stink in but Ilchymis's brain all of a sudden snap as he said. "What!." The realization of what he had just told them had struck home hard enough to make him drop his work. They girls hadn't actually gone anywhere they just stood there staring at the floor. 'How did this happen.' they both thought simultaneously.'Where, when, who.' At the question of who it was like a light bulb had been turned on and they could see the events that went on the night of the party. They saw themselves drunk in bed with Vyse they remembered all that had transpired that night . They where so lost it memory that they didn't even hear Ilchymis calling their names. About an hour later they had finally broken out of their trance and after much crying had managed to tell Ilchymis just how they had gotten pregnant. Having heard everything Ilchymis told the girls what they needed to do even though they both knew what he was going to say the idea still didn'tsit well with them...they needed to tell Vyse. Ilchymis had promised he would help the girls. But they weren't worried about that they were worried about Vyse. What would he say ,would he be mad at them, would he leave them just the idea of that last thought brought tears to their eyes. Elsewhere on the island Vyse had just gotten the same feeling as he had been getting lately but as quickly as it had came it was gone.About this time was when Ilchymis had walked up behind him and asked him to come with him.

He seemed to be a bit more serious than usual so Vyse had followed him quiet until he came to the war room. There he saw Aika and Fina both looked as tho they had been crying. For Vyse that same feeling came back as Ilchimis left the room. Vyse there is something we have to tell you". Said Fina as if she was scared. The feeling in Vyse stomach intensified. Fina and Aika seemed to be lost on how to tell Vyse. Vyse seeing his closest two friends in seemingly pain said. "Are you two alright you seem kinda worried you know you can tell me anything don't worry I won't flip out or anything" Those words gave them little comfort as they finally managed to muster up the courage to tell him."Vyse remember how we have be.en getting sick lately and stuff.We found out why." "You two aren't dying on me are you?" Yvse asked. "No we're...". Fina lost all resolve and put her head down in a sideways glance away from Vyse. Aika took over "Vyse do you remember the party a few weeks ago?." "Yeah?". "Do you remember what happened after the party." Vyse's mind drew blank for a few seconds before his brain clicked and a hazy memory popped into his mind.

'Oh my God...We...she..I...they ..we..oh boy..'. "Remember the morning when we all woke up in the same bed" .Aika the asked. Slowly Vyse nodded. By now his hair was standing on end. At age seventeen Vyse had faced up to the most terrible pirates, the most powerful enemies and even all six of the Gigas. But what Aika said next made Vyse the greatest pirate of the new world black out. "We're pregnant". Vyse hit the floor like a barrel of moonstones. It real time he just stood there a second wavered and then hit the floor like a barrel of moonstones.

"Vyse!...Vyse!...Vyyyyssseee!" He opened his eyes groggily at first to see he was lying on table in Illchymiss's lab like a flash of lightning he remembered all of what had happened before he blacked out. He was so shaken that he didn't even hear Ilchymis, Fina or Aika talking to him. It was like his world had collapsed on him. Ignoring the question he was being asked, actually he was in a stupefied state of mind he got off table and began wandering about aimlessly receiving startled looks from his companions. Out the door he walked in a strange motion whilst dragging his feet not really seeing or noticing any thing at all. " Is he mad at us?" the girls asked almost on the verge of tears. Ilchymis stared at where Vyse had just left. The doctor tuned to them and said. "No. He wasn't mad but to me he looked to be severely shocked. He was walking in what seems to be a trance". " I think it's going to be awhile before he snaps out of this". "The best thing you can do now is to wait". And wait they would.
