Edited Chapter 2 and now its finished~ Hooray!

The sun had barely set as Platinum and Diamond stood at the bow of the boat. The sea was a deep orange, reflecting the setting sun's rays right back towards the source. The ocean sparkled calmly, captivating the two and setting the perfect mood. Diamond broke away from the sea's spell and turned to Platinum

"So what do you think this school with be like?" Diamond asked. "If it's a private school, I bet the food is pretty good."

The girl sighed before giving him a small smile. "Is food all you think about?" Not that anything was wrong with that, but it wouldn't hurt him to think of other things once in a while, she thought.

Diamond looked thoughtful at the question for a bit before he finally answered. "No, I think about other things sometimes."

Platinum gave him a curious look. "'Other' things? What do you mean by that?" The question caught him off guard, forcing him to blush a bit.

"Oh! Uhh…you know, just like, uh… you're right, all I think about is food…! Haha... ha..." He stuttered.

She could immediately tell he was lying and was about to push the question further, before stopping herself. She contented herself with the thought that he would tell her someday what she wished to hear and looked back towards the shimmering water. The pair was on the S.S. Sea Gallop, which was now headed for an island near the Sevii Islands. The island that the school was on was fairly isolated, to keep unwanted people out of the school. It really was private, and directions were only given by mail if you paid the tuition and were accepted.

'How much farther is this going to be?' Platinum thought, her eyes were beginning to droop a little. As much as she was enjoying being alone with Diamond and staring out at the sea, Platinum was brimming with anticipation at arriving at their school. The two were starting to doze off when Pearl suddenly collided with Diamond, who landed on top of Platinum.

The blond boy jumped up and brushed himself off. "Hey watch where you're- Oh! It's you two!" Looking at the two he couldn't help but smirk. When Pearl had crashed into them, Diamond immediately wrapped his arms around Platinum and turned himself so he fell to the ground first, cushioning her fall. He was lying down on his back with both arms still wrapped around the girl's waist and his legs spread out. Platinum was on top of the boy, face down on him with her arms wrapped around his neck. Diamond couldn't help the blush on his face due to the two's proximity.

'Stupid boy! Could he not watch where he was going? Wait... something is not right...' The girl felt her face get hot as she stared at Diamond's face, who smiled back awkwardly. She quickly broke free of the embrace and, while trying to hide the blush on her face, she bolted from the deck to and down the stairs towards her room. Diamond was still dazed at what just happened and laid still on the ground.

"Hey! Hey, Dia. You can get up now! Come on, get up!" Diamond sat up, reaching for his beret that had fallen off from the impact. "Great, you're back with the living! Now that that's all over, let's go get some dinner!"

Diamond's brain had not processed that he had been dragged all the way from the deck to below deck to the kitchen, until they were sitting at a table. He didn't really feel like eating or doing much of anything really.

"Hey Pearl? How did you crash into me and Platinum?" The deck was fairly large, and with Platinum and himself being the only ones above deck at the time, it didn't make sense for Pearl to crash into them.

"Eh? What do you mean?" Pearl looked genuinely confused. "It was accident."

"Right..." Diamond smiled. "So about that dinner."

"Oh dear…"

Platinum had gone to her cabin and was now looking at her hand mirror. Her face was still a deep red and her legs still felt a little wobbly. It was a miracle she had managed to run down those stairs to her room without tripping and falling more than four times. 'Pearl. How could he run into us like that? Unless...' She gasped to herself. 'He did that on purpose!' She allowed herself a quick giggle before composing herself. 'However... this trip is about school. It is not a vacation and I cannot allow my emotions to jeopardize my education.' Thinking these words, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. Sighing again, she rose from her bed and headed for the door.

"I suppose I should go eat some dinner. It could help clear my head." She started reach for her doorknob when she realized what she just said. "Well, it seems that I am starting to think more like Diamond." The girl mused to herself. She quickly headed up the stairs, careful not to trip and fall this time.

Pearl was in a slump. His two friends had been completely silent during dinner, only talking when he addressed them and even then with only monosyllabic words. Pearl had known about Diamond's crush ever since they first met Platinum. 'Maybe crashing into them was a bad idea... oh well! They needed that little extra push! And it looks like they need another one...' Pearl's eyes lit up playfully. Rolling over in his bed, he reached over to his Pokétch and typed in a message.

"Both of you, get to my room. Now! I have a dilemma and I swear if you're even just one minute late..." He pressed send and leaned forward, opening the porthole in his room. He smiled as the cool sea breeze blew through his room. A minute had scarcely passed before he heard knocking on the door. Grinning, he closed the small porthole and ran to the door, throwing it open to meet his friends. Platinum walked briskly in while Diamond followed sheepishly.

"Is anything the matter?" The girl asked, seating herself on Pearl's bed. She shot daggers at him with her eyes and her voice was cool and level, almost icy.

"No, nothing much." Pearl reassured her.

"Are you sure? Wait, then why'd you want us to hurry over?" Diamond cocked his head.

"I just wanted to talk, ya know?" Pearl laughed to himself, earning two confused looks.

"Excuse me? Talk?" Platinum glared at him and said coldly, "I believe I have nothing to say to you at this time."

"Oh, don't be such a sour meowth. So... how has your day been going so far, Dia?"

"Uhh... fine?" Diamond still looked confused at what was happening. Pearl was never one for just idle chitchat. It wasted time he had told Diamond once.

"I see. That's good!" An awkward silence had fallen over the three. Pearl was casually moving ever so closer to the door while Diamond was staring blankly into space and Platinum sulked. Finally, Pearl laughed loudly leaving his two friends staring at the sudden outburst. The blond boy suddenly bolted out the door, shouting "Have fun tonight!" behind his shoulder, and slammed the door shut before either of them could react. Outside they could hear the sound of a key in a lock and even more laughter.

Diamond sighed. "So, he locked us in?"

Platinum glared at the door. "Yes. Our friend has, how you say, lost his mind?"

"I see..." He looked at the girl, who was now staring at the window. "What're you looking at Platinum?"

"It seems that he forgot that we have a porthole..."

"Porthole? What's that?" Diamond cocked his head to the side.

"It is a type of window. To be more precise," She pointed to the wall where the round, glass window was, "That."

"Why don't they just call it a window?"

"Because that is not what- Enough of this." Platinum had grown tired of her friend's questions. We should be focusing on getting out of here." Reaching up and opening it, she examined the porthole. "I believe I am thin enough to fit through. Could you give me a lift? I shall unlock the door once I am out." Diamond sighed as he got down on his hands and knees near the wall. Platina stepped on his back and lifted herself up and through. Wriggling her body, she made it through. Diamond deliberately kept his head down and his eyes on the ground throughout the ordeal. He heard a thud on the other side followed by a death threat for Pearl. Diamond sighed as he waited for the door to open.

"I actually didn't mind being locked in a room with her..."

"Ah! I love my job. And I gotta say, I did a pretty darn good job too!"

Pearl was sprawled out on Diamond's bed thinking about what his two lovebirds were doing in his room. He smirked "Well! That's gonna be a great way to start of the school year." He suddenly shot up when he heard light footsteps out in the hall. He started to shiver when he realized the only other people who should be on the ship were either in his room, or up in the captain's room drinking. Hiding under the covers, he hoped with all his might it was a drunk sailor. He was about ready to scream when the door opened and in walked Platinum. He relaxed for a second, and then screamed when he realized who just walked into his room.

"Quiet down Pearl. You are much too loud."

"B-but...y-you're supposed to be..." Pearl stammered, struggling to even speak.

"In your room locked with Diamond?" Pearl nodded, too scared to speak anymore. "Oh, I am sorry. But you forgot about the porthole in your room. We we're able to climb out of it and escape."

'Damn.' "Porthole? Oh, right! So uhh...you never answered my question. How has your day been?"

"Just fine. Thank you for asking." She seemed extremely calm and collected, to the point of being terrifying. "I just wanted to wish you a good night."

"G-good ni-" He never finished, because at that moment Platinum swung her bag, knocking Pearl straight across the face.

"Good night Pearl." Platinum said sweetly, dusting herself off and shifting the bag back onto her shoulder. Diamond walked in just as the girl was leaving, who smiled at him.

"That was not very lady-like of me. I apologize." She frowned a bit, and then smiled again. "Sweet dreams, Diamond." She said before walking back to her own room. Diamond looked in to see an unconscious Pearl laying on the ground. Sighing, he grabbed Pearl's hand and half lifted, half dragged him ontp the bed. After tucking in his best friend and wiping the small bit of blood that was coming from his nose, Diamond grabbed a pillow and set himself down on the floor. He gave a last sad look at his friend before he drifted off.

"Pearl should have locked the porthole." Diamond sighed to himself. "He really should have."

Yay for rewriting~! I love violent Platinum :D. Review, flame, and comment if you'd like. Hehe, porthole. Such a funny word.
