I found myself staring at the ceiling later. I must have fallen asleep. I looked over to my right to find master fast asleep. I smiled to myself as a pulled some blankets over her and lightly kissed her forehead. I quickly lay back down beside her. My eyes slowly closed up again. She was safe. That was what mattered to me. But little did I know. I would start to wonder if that was all that mattered to me when I was questioned by the other Nemos later on that day. But that was much later on. Before that happened.

Master gave me a gift. I wasn't really sure why. "What is this for?" She handed me a small box. "Well, it was meant to be apology for avoiding you for so long. But now I guess I should call it a thank you gift for saving me." She really when to all that trouble for me? That did make me happy. "You-You really didn't have too." I lightly blushed. "But I wanted too! Plus, I think they will look good on you!" She was excited over the gift. What in the world is in this box?

"huh?"

"Come on! Come on Just open it Nemo!" She clearly was excited. I sighed and did as she asked and opened up the box. I found a pair of glasses sitting in it. "Glasses?" I questioned her. "Yes! Try them on." I could only look confused at her, but I did as she asked. "So... what do you think, Master?" I asked her. Her eyes lit up. "Yes, you look so cool in them!" she yelled quickly giving me a hug. I look cool. my heart was beating so fast. Just this little thing made me so happy. I slowly circled my arms around her hugging her back.

"Thank you for the gift, Sara."

"Of course. Thank you again for Saving me, Nemo."

"Of Course. I will always protect you, no matter what." I whispered to her.

After all You are my Princess.

Later that day I did a meeting with all the Nemo Series. We when over business like normal. Well, that was until we got to the end. "If that's it for the reports for the day I will call this meeting..." I started to say as Engineer spoke up, "I do have a question, Captain!" She spoke up. I nodded to her. "Captain, I think I speak for us all when I ask you this." I saw all the others nod even before she asked it. What in the world was she going to ask me? "Be truthful please." She started. "We need to know. Are You and Master together now?" I stood there shocked. I must have heard her wrong right? She didn't just ask me that. "Uh...sorry I think I heard you wrong. I thought you just asked if me and master are together." I laughed to myself. "No, I did ask that."

"EH?" My face quickly turned deep red.

"You got the gift from Master, right?"

"Oh, you mean the Glasses he is wearing?"

"She brought him a gift?" uhhh...ehhh. My brain had just turned off.

"I mean she gave you a gift. That has to mean something right?"

"She-She said it was just a thank you gift." I quickly tried to stop this. "that's all." all of the Nemos looked unsure at me. "I don't know. never heard of a girl giving a boy a thank you gift." Wait Wait did the gift really mean something? Did I just not notice? "Don't girls just give gifts to boys they like?" A marine asked. "But what if it was just a thank you gift?"

"But what if it wasn't?"

"Clearly there one way to know for sure." This was getting out of hand. "Captain it's clear what you have to do!"
"It-It is?"

"You must tell master your true feeling, then you will know for sure!" I stared shocked at them. "Wh-What? No! I can't do that!" I cried in fear. "But Captain we all love Master." they all nodded together. "We feel the same way about her as you do." That wasn't the problem here. "I-I know that. But..." I couldn't do it. Every time I thought about telling her I froze up. "Serious Captain if you keep holding back. Before you know it, a rival will show up and try to win Master's Heart from you." I couldn't see that happening. She wasn't as popular as the other Master on the ship was. Thank goodness for that." I doubt that could happen." I frowned at them. "Captain take this seriously!"

"If you don't tell her we will!"

"You wouldn't..."

"We are Nemo too. We also love Master." Marines all said together. I sighed. It appeared I was being pushed into something I didn't want to do. I couldn't see it happening. No matter what. A rival appearing? From where?

But little did I know I was in trouble.
