As the group and I were on the dock with our things packed, we were waiting for Donnie and Rachel to come with... whatever they were coming with. It was around 5 in the morning and the first light of the day was starting to show. "Ugh, where are those two?" I grew agitated.

"Don't worry. They'll be here-" Leo said until he got surprised by a loud horn.

"Eek!" Aika shrieked as her fur stood all the way up.

"Phy!" Umiko started to cry as she was woken up from her slumber.

"Aww, it's okay Umi. It's okay." I caressed her back, trying to calm her down. "Shh..."

"Mama..." Umi sniffled and looked up at me.

"It's okay Umi. It's just a horn. A horn from umm..." I trailed off until I heard something approaching the dock. I looked on my right side to see a ship, a big sized ship.

"A ship?! We're gonna be pirates?!" Mikey jumped up and down in excitement.

Raph slapped the back of his head. "No you idiot."

"Raphie, be nice to him." Aika told him.

"Ahoy!" Rachel waves as she parked the ship next to us. She stepped off the boat and was dressed up in a captain sailor's outfit.

"A-Ahoy." Donnie shyly stepped out of the ship with a first mate's sailor outfit.

Mikey started laughing. "Hey Donnie! Nice shorts!"

Raph started laughing too. "I agree!"

"Grr..." Rachel growled at the boys and used her shadow power to pick them up and throw drop them into the water.

"Ah!" they both screamed as they splashed in while the rest of us were laughing at them.

"Wow that's funny." I laughed as I turned around to look at the vessel. "Huh, so this was your secret you were working on sis." I smiled.

"Yep. I had a little help thanks to Donnie here." Rachel said as she looked at Donnie. "I appreciate the help from you Donnie. Thank you for helping me build this lovely vessel."

"Y-You're welcome." Donnie chuckled lightly as he was blushing badly.

"Mama, mama." Umiko waved her flippers to Rachel.

"Hmm? You wanna get down?" I asked her and she nodded. I put her down and Umiko waddled her way to Donnie and Rachel.

"Mana." she reached out for Rachel's hand.

"Oh, okay." Rachel smiled a bit and held her flipper.

"Mana, Mana." Umiko waves her other flipper, reaching out for Donnie's hand.

"Okay Umiko." Donnie held her flipper.

I was curious on what Umiko was doing with Donnie and Rachel. But after she made Donnie and Rachel's hands touch together, it became crystal clear. "Oh my god." I giggled softly. "I know what's going on here."

"What's little Umiko trying to do?" Mikey said as he shook the water off of his body.

"I think she knows what's going on between the two of them. I think Umi's message is saying that... you should be a couple." I smiled big.

"Who?! Us?! A couple?! Umm..." Donnie was getting really embarrassed.

"Umm, come on now you guys. Umi is just a baby. She doesn't know about anything." Rachel said as she picked her up and hugged her.

'Ugh, she just friendzoned him. Poor Donnie.' I thought to myself and shook my head. "Anyway! Let's hurry up and put these items on the ship, we're wasting daylight!"

"But the sun's just coming up." Donnie said.

I growled. "You get the idea! Let's move it! Let's go go go!" I said to everyone as we packed our possessions on the ship.

After we got everything aboard in just a short, I heard running on the deck. "Battle stations! Battle stations! We've got trouble!" I growled as I jumped off the ship and braved for attack impact. But after I saw 2 familiar figures, I sighed and shook my head. "False alarm."

"Who is it?" Leo said as his katanas were ready.

"It's just April and Casey." I said as I came back aboard on the ship. "Quick sis, ditch em!"

"Hey! Wait up dudes!" Casey my annoying, err... 'awesome' hockey player human friend shouted to us.

⭐️ Name: Casey Jones
⭐️ Age: 21 👦🏻
⭐️ Role: Hockey Player
⭐️ Relationship: April

"Oh boy, and I thought he went to Hockey Camp." Raph facepalmed to himself.

"Well, I want an explanation about this awesome ship!"

"What's with the ship? Are you going on a trip?" April, my red headed human friend asked.

⭐️ Name: April O'Neil
⭐️ Age: 21 👩🏻‍🦰
⭐️ Role: Telekinesis
⭐️ Relationship: Casey

"Oh god, she's here too?" Rachel whispered me, knowing how much she hates her.

"I'm afraid so sis." I whispered back to here. "Ahem, as you guys can see here, we're pretty busy." I said as I picked up Umiko.

"Can we come too?" Casey asked me.

"Hmm, well that's gonna be a problem. We don't have enough food that could last us for the whole week and a half that we're going to be traveling from."

"Then we should go to the store real quick!"

"Hold it peasant!" I stopped to think for a minute and thought of a great idea. "Okay, I'll let you go in this trip. But you both have to do something for me."

"Something! Anything!"

"Donnie, Rachel, this is an order. Give up your sailor outfits."

"Really?" Donnie smiled as I nodded. "Yes ma'am." he said as he went to the bathroom to change.

"What are you doing sis?" Rachel asked me as she went to the girl's room.

"You'll see." I winked at her.

A little while later, April and Casey were ready for the trip. In the sailor outfits. Everyone couldn't stop laughing after they saw Casey in shorts while his legs were full of manly hair. Rachel was mostly laughing after seeing April in the sailor outfit as well.

"Hahaha... okay. Now shall we get going?" Rachel giggled lightly.

"Yes we shall." I smiled as I saw Rachel, heading into position. Then I picked up my dear water baby. "Umiko sweetie, I guess our adventures are just beginning." I hugged her.

"Mama." she smiled.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Mana!" she cheered happily and got on the edge of the boat to dive off into the water.

"Okay, now what?" Casey said while his face was red from embarrassment.

"We wait for Umi to get her instincts kicked in so she can lead us to Samiya."

"I need you to tell me everything."

"Will do." I said as I watched Umiko swimming around. "Do you know where to go sweetie?" I asked her.

"Mana!" she nodded and started swimming out of the New York Harbor.

"Alright, anchors away Captain Rachel!"

"Let's go!" Rachel said as she hoists the anchor and started to drive the ship out of the dock and out of the harbor.

"Next stop, Samiya!" Mikey laughed as he was dancing his heart out with Aika.

I laughed a bit and sat at the front of the boat, watching Umiko, our guide that would lead us to the mysterious Sea Temple. Something tells me that this adventure was going to be a long one.
