Hello, my good readers. Today, in this lovely chapter here, we have the crew's boat. Imam make it so speecciiaall~! c:
So yeah… I was listening to Brick by Boring Brick by Paramore, Fireflies by Owl City, Hello by Hawk Nelson, Is Forever Enough by Hawk Nelson, and Made To Love by Toby Mac. And yes I know I'm a bit repetitive with my songs that I listen to… get over it. :D
And here's that long (not really) awaited chapter! Hope ya like it, I worked hard (spent about an hour working) on it! One you have read, please review my lovelies.
Today was the day. The day that Akira had been anticipating for days in advance (I feel kind of redundant there…). This was the day that their boat would be finished. And Artemis was getting annoyed by Akira's random outbursts of excitement. While Artemis wished Akira would calm himself, Laila and Yukio just took it all in stride, praying that they could get to the shipyard before Akira ran away again.
As they neared the shipyard, Akira almost began running, but remained where he was since he reasoned with himself that they should all see the boat for the first time together. That reasoning, however, didn't make it easier for him to stay calm. When they got there, Akira ran off to go find Kartik. Of course, the other three had no choice but to follow.
When they found Akira, the boy had sparkles in his eyes. Literally. And next to him was an amused looking Kartik. Akira was staring up at a large caravel with a saber tooth tiger for the figure head. Both Laila and Yukio had a feeling that they would be forced on a tour of their new ship.
"This is so COOOL~!" Akira yelped, grinning like an idiot.
"I'll take that you like it?" Kartik asked, smiling at Akira.
"Of course I like it; it's amazing!" Akira exclaimed, whirling around to look at Artemis, Laila, and Yukio.
Before Kartik could reply, a woman with long, wavy, orange hair, black eyes, glasses, and a black bikini hopped over to them, grabbing onto Kartik's arm.
"Kartik, my love, I've finally found you~!" She sang, rubbing all over the poor, disturbed looking man.
"Go away Karin." Kartik stated bluntly. Ignoring the fake tears that Karin spouted at his words.
"But we were meant to be together, the only thing stopping us is your shipwrighting job!" she exclaimed, a determined and slightly heart-broken expression on her face.
"You two are lovers?" Akria asked, looking genuinely confused, since Kartik looked not at all interested in the orange haired female.
"No, not rea—" Before Kartik could finish, Karin interrupted.
"Of course we are, we were meant for each other; star-crossed lovers, I would say!" Karin gushed, smiling at Kartik.
As Kartik attempted—and failed—to correct Karin's thinking, Akira spun around to look at his nakama, who were standing a few feet away with confused and curious expressions.
"You guys, we have to go check it out!" Akira declared.
"Alright... Just calm down, Akira." Yukio advised, smiling at his friend's renewed enthusiasm.
After their little tour of the ship, they went back into town to get their things. Akira was the one who got there first, actually, and grabbed everyone's bags before running off to take it to their new home.
Laila smiled. "He really loves that ship, doesn't he?"
"Of course he does, it is pretty amazing." Artemis chirped, chuckling as Akira disappeared from view.
"Maybe we should catch up with him before he does something to upset someone?" Yukio suggested.
"You're right." Laila and Artemis said at the same time.
When they got to the ship, they found their stuff lying in a surprisingly neat pile on the deck, Akira's excluded. While Yukio and Artemis went to go choose their rooms, Laila wandered around until she found Akira, who was currently lying face down on his bed. She had no idea what he was doing or why, but decided that she might as well get him before he suffocates.
She briskly walked over and yanked his head out of the pile of sheets he had been resting on, and smiled at his confused expression. Akira blinked owlishly before regaining his sense and grinning back at her.
"I really love my room!" He chirped, turning over so that he was lying on his back with his hands behind his head.
"I can tell." Laila replied with a laugh. Akira just smiled more widely before sitting up suddenly, startling Laila.
"What's wrong?" She asked, frowning.
"You still have your stuff with you; haven't you picked out your room yet?" Akira asked, tilting his head to the side curiously.
"Ah, well I was looking around down here to see if there were any rooms that I liked, and I noticed you with your face buried in some blankets. So, you know, that's a cause for me to worry about…" Laila lied, trailing off.
"I see. Then, let's find you a room!" Akira said, hopping off his bed before pulling Laila out the door and a little ways down the corridor.
Akira's eyes scanned over each doorway before sharply turning towards a seemingly random door and throwing it open with such force that Laila believed it might just break. Laila then was dragged inside by her green haired captain, looking a bit startled at how quickly everything had just happened.
Laila looked around the room, pleased with the setup. There was a large bed against the far wall, right beneath a little window. On the left side of the room was a desk with a lamp, and a large comfortable looking desk chair. The right side of the room had a large wardrobe and a spacious looking dresser fitted in the corner. She also took notice of a large chair sitting against the same wall the bed was on. All in all, she liked it. Then again, she wasn't an extremely picky person.
She turned, expecting to see Akira standing at the door. Of course, he wasn't there. She frowned, and turned to her new room again, only to find that Akira had now taken over her bed. He was in his hybrid form, ears twitching as he buried his face in the pillows on her bed. Laila chuckled. She supposed this was going to happen often.
Ima cut you off there. c: Hope you liked it! Next chapter should be a lot of fun, so keep watchin' for that little message from me that clutters your inbox! So, I've maxed out my crew now, but that's okay :D And just for fun, I might add another OC for no reason. :D But, I'll make him/her. So, it'll be more fun from now on throughout the story (I hope).
Please review, it makes me feel so happy!
