Lucinda standing there.

   " Hey, Lucinda."

   " Y/n!"

She hugged me and I hugged her back.

   " I'm guessing Zoey used my potion?"

   " Must have. I wasn't awake to see it. Laurence and Aphmau were though."

   " Well, I'm glad you're awake. "

She started looking at me up and down.

   " What?"

   " I'm getting you some new clothes."

   " What? Why?"

   " Y/n dear you need to change. How long have you been in that outfit?"

   " ... "

   " My point exactly."

She pulled me into the captains quarters. I saw Travis in there. He was looking at a map.

   " Oh hello ladies~," He said with a smirk.

   " Travis, can you leave us for a moment?"

   " But why? I don't want to leave two beautiful women in here by themselves."

That made me blush, but Lucinda looked unfazed by it.

   " Well, you're going to have too."

He sighed and left. Lucinda turned to me.

   " Okay just stand still okay?"

   " Okay."

She stepped away from me and her staff started glowing. Then the light came from her staff and wrapped around me. When it went away I was in different clothing.

   " That looks better."

   " Thanks, Lucinda."

   " Not a problem sweety."

We walked out and I saw Aphmau talking with the stranger with the mask, and I saw Laurence steering the ship. 

   " Hey, Travis you can go back in now."

   " Thanks, ladies, but I don't know if I want to ~," he said while wrapping an arm around my waist and putting one around my shoulders.

We were so close. He moved his hand were it caressed my left cheek.

   " T-Travis?"

   " Hmmm?"

I could feel his breath on my face.

   " Travis! Get your hands off of her!"

Travis looked back and I did too. I looked and saw an angry Laurence looking straight at Travis. Travis let me go and I stepped away from him a few inches.

   " Well, there goes the moment. I'll see you later Y/n"

   " Bye Travis."

I walked away from him and up the steps leading to the wheel. I stood up there and Laurence looked at me from the corner of his eye.

   " You okay? He didn't do anything did he?"

   " I'm fine, and no, he didn't do anything."

   " Good. Hey, Aaron, can you steer?"

   " Sure."

He walked up and took the wheel. Laurence and I walked down the steps and went to one side of the boat and looked out at the ocean.

   " So... Ben's going to try and date Mary?"

   " Ya. I can't wait. He's grown up so much. It's hard to believe."

   " It is. Garroth and you taught him well though. I think he's ready."

   " Ya, he's ready. I just wish I could have spent those lost years with him."

   " Don't we all wish that. I mean, that you weren't frozen. After the storm went away he came running looking for you. he ran and looked at me and asked where you were. He turned around and saw you and I just held him as he cried. It was tough."

   " .........Thank you, Laurence."

   " For what?"

   " Everything."

He smiled and pulled me closer. He leaned on the railing of the boat with one arm while he held me with his other hand. He squeezed me and I hugged him back. Then I did as he did and leaned against the railing of the boat with his arm still wrapped around me.

   " I hope that we can find land soon."

   " Why? Don't like the ocean?"

   " No, I'm just tired of hearing Katlyn puke every 20 minutes."

   " Hahaha, that's true. I just can't wait for Garroth to get out of the Irene dimension."

   " Me either. I can't wait to see him."

   " I can't wait until he gets here and then I can tell him I'm not holding back anymore."

I blushed at that.

   " Y-Ya."

   "You're so cute. You know that?"

   " You tell me that 24/7 how can I forget?"

He looked at me and I looked into his eyes.

   " True. But can you blame me?"

I giggled a little. He leaned his forehead on mine. And I smiled as we stayed like that. I opened my eyes and stared into his baby blue eyes. He started leaning in, but before he could kiss me I held my hand up stopping him. His lips touched my hand as he opened his eyes. 

   " I thought you said that we would wait until we got Garroth out."

He grabbed my hand gently and held it as he stared into my eyes.

   " I did say that. Thanks for reminding me. It's just..."

He held my hand. And he held it against his cheek.

   " ...I-It's just so hard sometimes. Your just so cute and....It's just hard that I can't kiss you without thinking about what I said that night. I can't take it away either cause we made it a promise."

   " Ya we did promise that."

   " We better get him out soon then. I don't know if I can hold myself back anymore."

   " You'll just have to be patient."

   " * sigh* I love you Y/n. So so much."

   " I know, but we have to give Garroth time."

   " I know."

He pulled away and just looked at me. he kissed me on the forehead and then he pulled away.

   " I never said that I couldn't flirt or embarrass you though."

I smiled and shook my head and walked away from him. I saw something coming from the distance. I squinted and saw land.

   " Land! I see land!"
