Mack POV:
Mack walked outside from the mansion to get some fresh air. He walked over to his hammock and laid down in it, picking up his book from earlier. It was a story about a group of futuristic pirates. He opened it, seeing a photo of his new team in it. They were all making faces and laughing. He smiled, seeing Rose. He ran his finger down the side of her cheek in the photo. Man…she's so beautiful…and smart…
"Hey, Mack!" Hearing the voice made Mack throw the book up and fall out of the hammock. He looked up and saw Rose standing over him, smiling. "Oops…you ok?" He got up and dusted off. "Yeah…you ok?" He mentally kicked himself for asking that. "Um…yeah, I'm fine." She smiled and said "Well, your dad told me to come out and find you. He located what seems like a new jewel. "Ugh…I was just about to relax…" Rose smiled and took his hand in hers. "Well, we can relax after this mission. I just called Will, and Ronny said she was gonna go get Dax." Mack nodded and walked with her inside, feeling kinda uncomfortable holding the hand of the girl he liked.
They walked inside together and saw Will checking behind the portrait where his secret safe of comics was hidden. He'd better not touch those...they're limited edition... "Will, what are you doing?" Rose spoke first and he nearly dropped the painting. "nothing". Mack felt embarrassed when he pointed to his hand linked with Rose's and pulled it back. "C'mon, Will" Mack said, "My dad said he found another jewel for the crown." Will shrugged, "Alright…lets go"
