Hi peoples! If you're reading this, I presume you've read the others... Thank you :D but I desperately need reviews... I'm getting very lonely... :_(
Sorry if this isn't up to scratch, feeling grotty so I can't really concentrate :( (Bad excuse I know)
Without further ado, please welcome Chapter 3!
...
'Wow, this guy must have really got hit hard; who in the right mind would call themselves 'the Finnster.' Or he could just be a pompous weirdo...' By now, Ember has finished the check up and this 'Finnster' person has fully come round from unconsciousness.
"Finn, how many other people are there apart from you on this ship? You're the first person we've come across so far." Ember asks confidently, while Jake is still weary of the fact that they know nothing about the people that could be on the ship, so he stands in the doorway looking out into the corridor so that no-one can sneak up and attack him.
"Err... five...well, four if you don't count Radarr... are they okay?" He begins to recall the crash in his mind and is now concerned about the other team members.
"Like I said, you're the first we've come across... stay here and rest, we'll go search for the others. Jake, you coming?" Ember is already out of the room when she talks to Jake, who just replies
"Oh, um, yeah... Wait a second... is that what I think it is? Holey cheese..." his eyes are fixated on the beautiful sight before him, until Finn interrupts by picking up the guitar and begins to play it, or rather torture it. "Pretty sweet, right?" asks Finn exited by the prospect of having a fan of his 'music'.
By the time Ember comes back to see why Jake isn't following, she finds him on the guitar making worse sounds than Finn (is that even possible?)
'I'll never be able to separate these two...' She gives a defeated sigh then walks off to search for others. It's not long before she discovers a girl, maybe a year older than herself, a large creature/person that resembles a rhino 'weird...', a blue fluffy animal 'that must be Radarr...' , a green man 'weirder...' and a red-haired boy, also around her age, all on the bridge of the ship.
Ember is finishing up with the checkups when Jake and Finn walk in discussing guitar riffs, and bass-lines, Jake having forgotten his fear of these people and Finn having forgotten all about his team mates. Their in-depth discussion is only disrupted when Ember clears her throat to catch their attention.
"Yes, a little help would good, thanks for offering." She glares at the now seemingly best friends.
"Sorry Emu, but Finn has got the best music collection ever known, how can we not talk about it?"
"Jake."
"Yes Emu?"
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
"Sorry Emu." The two boys burst out into laughter, grabbing each other's shoulders for support, barely able to stand.
Now a box of sticky plasters is hurtling through the air, until it comes into contact with Jake's head
"OWW! What was that for? Oh, right. Sorry."
"Anyway, everyone's fine, just bruises and scratches which I've patched up the best I can, apart from..." but she trails off nervously.
"What? What's wrong?" asks a concerned Finn.
"Everyone's fine apart from him." She points to the Red haired boy lying by the large window. "The rest should be awake in... I'd say somewhere around 20 minutes or so, but him... From what I can see he's got quite a bad case of concussion – it could take days for him to come around."
Not that I'm not impressed and all, Emu- I mean Ember" a severe look of derision persuades this change of heart. "It's just... you grew up in an orphanage, just like me, so how do you know all this medical junk?" asks Jake, taken off guard by his friend's secret knowledge.
"I'll have you know that that 'medical junk' is very important stuff. And to answer your question, you know that vent in my room? That links directly to the assembly hall, well, used to anyway – I could hear every word when the staff had to do those first aid courses. Turns out I've got pretty good memory that's all."
"Ooh. Fair dos"
...
I know, I know... it was pretty boring... needed to be said though :)
It will pick up a bit I promise...
Hope it wasn't too dreadful and that I haven't scared off all 10 of you... Lol (seriously though, when I'm writing this, there's been only 10 viewings and no reviews! Awful :()
So please pick up my spirits by reviewing... It'll make me feel better and in turn it might make the story better too :)
Oh and I'd like to say once again that not all chappies will be put up this fast... not that anyone would care... (Sympathy vote... this is a low)
Ta-Ta for now,
Kezzy xxx
