[Leoshi]

Right, here's the next:

---------------------------------------------------

The afternoon passed by quickly. It was about 7 o-clock, and they had gone back to the resort to explain. They forgave them, and thanked them for rescuing the town from the pirates. The townspeople went right to work in repairing the damages. In the meantime, the others got the chance to relax.

The sunset was a fascinating sight to see. Leoshi looked up from the spell books pages as he sat down on a chair on a beach. The breeze was blowing gently that evening, and the gentle lapping of the ocean waves provided a serene atmosphere. Behind him was the town, hidden partially by palm trees. The smaller houses' rooftops peaked over the green long leaves, while the second and third floors of the resort peaked over, watching them from afar.

The other group members where either in the water swimming or sitting on the beach, enjoying the sunset.

Leo flipped through the pages of his book slowly, trying to decipher the next spell. Though this one was difficult. The letters where unlike any he had seen in the past.

"Hm..." Enrique said, interrupting the silence. Everyone looked up at him. "...X over the sin of Y..."

"Something wrong?" Moshi asked.

"Just talking to myself." Enrique said. "Let's see... the hypotenuse-"

"Come on!" Yoshee shouted, from within the water. "It's nice out, come for a swim!"

"Sorry." Enrique said, without looking up. "I have a lot to work to do."

"With what?" Yoshee asked.

"If you must know, I'm trying to find the hypotenuse of this triangle."

"What?" she asked back.

"I said-"

"I heard what you said, I just don't get why." She replied.

"Oh..." he said back. "I'm just-"

"Enrique, come on!" she repeated. "Alot of us are having a good time! Besides, we might leave town tomorrow, just enjoy it while you can!"

"Oh, if you must." Enrique sighed. He got up and slowly walked toward the ocean waves.

"So..." Eloeem added, looking into the sunset. "...I guess I'll go swimming."

"Okay." Leoshi said.

"...don't you want to come?" he asked.

"Can't." Leoshi said. "I'm too busy."

"You should take a break." Eloeem said. "It's not good for you if you keep being busy."

"This is to important." Leo said. "Enjoy the water."

Eloeem sighed and ran for the ocean sea.

John, Moshi, Teo, and Yoshiken all sat by the waterside, not interesting in swimming either.

"That was quite a battle, huh?" Yoshiken asked.

"Sure." the other three responded.

Yoshiken was a bit surprised to hear them speak at the same time. "Uh... so... you guys are on this quest against evil, or something?"

"Sure." they all repeated again.

Yoshiken slapped his head. "...do you per-chance need any help. I can fight bad guys."

"Sure." they all repeated again.

Yoshiken sighed. "I'm going to find some action."

He got up from the sandy beach and brushed himself clean of the Sand that clung to him.

"Yoshiken, was it?" Leoshi asked.

Yoshiken looked toward the book-possessing Yoshi. "Yeah, and you are... Leo, right?"

Leoshi nodded. "Do you know about this ancient text?"

Yoshiken shook his head. "Sorry. I don't know much about that. By the way, how are you going to cross this sea?"

Leoshi sighed. "...the easiest was would be to use a boat, but I don't know where to find one around here."

Yoshiken looked at him again, then sat back down. "...you could fly over?"

Leo shook his head. Teo is still too tired, and Moshi wouldn't want to fly us over in her dragon form. Some of the others in this group can fly, but they can only carry one at a time, and it would talk too long."

Yoshiken could tell the amount of shyness he had by hearing his quiet voice. "It's okay. I know you'll find some way around it."

With that, the red dragon turned around and walked away slowly.

Leoshi looked back into the sea, with the waves lapping against the sandy beaches. The serene and beautiful reflection of the sunset that was slowly creeping closer to the water's edge was making larger shadows now. There was silence in this place, except for the sound of the others who where swimming in the ocean.

"Don't you like it?" Yoshee asked.

"I-i-i-it's kind o-o-of cold." Enrique replied.

"You get used to it." Yoshee replied, slashing a bit of water on Champ, who was swimming on his back on the calm and comfortable ocean waves.

Lava was also swimming in the water, enjoying the sea ocean. "...this is cool and all, but when do we get back to the adventure?"

"Soon, be patient." Yoshifrog said.

"Just enjoy it." Yin added, giving a splash to Lava.

Eloeem also seemed to be enjoying himself.

from the edge of the water came another Yoshi. She gave a flutter of her purple wings, making drops of water fall from them. Yapi walked along the side of the beach, letting the sand stick to her as she walked.

"What are you doing?" Yapi asked, sitting down beside him.

Leo looked up at her. "...just trying to figure out this book."

Yapi looked back at him. "You can do that later. Don't you want to swim?"

Leo sighed. "I'm just too busy. There's too much work to do."

"This is you last chance." she said.

"..." Leoshi looked up from his book. he placed it on the sand and closed it's cover. "...you wouldn't understand."

"...why do you keep so many secrets?" She asked. "I noticed you never talk about why you are always so unhappy all the time."

Leo sighed. "...I would rather not talk about it."

"...please, just enjoy yourself. Huh?" Yapi asked.

Leo covered up the book with his jacket. "Okay, I'll go."

-----------------------------------

After another two hour, the entire group came back from the ocean (those who did go swimming)

Leo walked up to his jacket and put it back on, then too the book back. The others began to dry off.

"Excuse me, Leoshi?" a voice asked.

Leoshi looked back up. Another Yoshi in a fancy coat was standing there.

"Yes?" Leo asked.

"I am the manager of Flor Majestuosa." the Yoshi said. "I came to personally thank you all for rescuing us!"

"You're welcome." Yoshiken said.

"I know that you lot require a ship, correct?" the manager asked.

The entire group looked up. "Yes." Yoshee said.

"Tell me what you see when you look into that horizon." the manager said.

The group looked back into the sunset ocean. There was a ship, suddenly sailing into the beach.

"Whoa!" Yin shouted. "Where did this come from?"

"It's the resort's ship." the manager said. "Her name's Majestuosa, named after the resort and the town's main export, our flowers. Note the hand-crafted flower carvings on the bow. She's as fine as a ship as you will get. And guess what, she's all yours!"

"Really?" Eloeem asked, sounded excited. "It's our ship!"

"Yes, all yours. Go forth, heroes, and good luck on that little adventure of yours!"

-------------------------------------

They instantly boarded their new ship and sailed off into the sunset.

"This is so cool!" Yin shouted. "So, does this mean we are sailors now?"

"We will have to be strong." Leo said. "It will take at least a day to cross the sea, and there are other pirates on the ocean. So to face them, we may have to act like pirates."

"Good thing you have me on board then." Yoshiken said. "You've got this adventure in the bag."

"Does this mean we get to be pirates?" Yoshee asked.

"Temporally." Moshi said.

"Sweet!" Yin added.

-------------------------------------

So, now we may or may not be able to expect what comes next. Who knows? I'll get more soon

[Enrique]

I'm complaining that the water is cold? I swim in 62 degree water at least 3 times a year. XD _{I'm going to tackle Yoshee off the ship into the ocean; I can sense it... XD} Great chapter, Leo! It's a fun change-up to the story, and it opens up the opportunity for almost anything to happen!

[UMS Author Lava]

Yayz, a ship! BTW, are any of my four requested characters showing up soon? *puppy eyes*

[moshi]

Cool chapter! I am still wonder why the heck I want that book so badly. And I want a chance to torture Yin. Ah, such a good past time. *has Yin in a head lock* NINJAS BETTER!

[UMS Author Lava]

Didn't you write the wrong answers on Yin's homework back in the school saga?

[Lord of the Dance]

Lol. I love swimming with Champ ^^ Great chapter, what with the describing and all, Leo! I love it!

[Leoshi]

Thanks for the compliments. yes, your characters are on the way, as are Jay's and LD's, and Yoshee's other chao too. Soon...

[Yoshiken]

WOOT! WE GET TO BE PIRATES! XD, Awesome chapter Leo! I still think flying is better <_< >_> XD!. Well! its all good! as long as my Katana is with me ^^.

[Wildfire the Dragon]

Yeah, Ninja's awesome. Tasha is a Ninja now.

Great Story, heh, I can't wait to read another.
What's wrong Enrique, water below 60 bothers you? XD

[Yoshifrog]

Ha, I've been absent from the story >< It took me a while to read up to this point, but it's great so far! Keep up the nice work Leo!

[Yin]

W00T! We get to be pirates! Just like in One Piece!! *hyperventilates and faints* We got that new ship almost just like Luffy did, saving a town...blah blah blah blah...*goes on ranting about the show again*
I'll probably bet that I'm going to keep ranting about that show and beg to paint the sails. XD Keep it going!

And about that ninja and pirate thing... I'm not sure who rules better now, it's just so hard to choose!

[moshi]

*bricks Yin* You and your One Piece Fangirleyness. And if we paint the sails, it's gonna be a yoshi egg design. Right? RIGHT!?!?!? *attacks all who say no* >> You would probaly paint a goat on it......

[Leoshi]

heh, maybe I will do something like that. Sorry for the delay, but that AIM party last night kept me from doing this sooner.

----------------------------------------------

As the sun finally set over the ocean waves, the Majestuosa and her new crew went right to work. Well, a few of them did, anyway.

Enrique went to work in charting a fast course for their exploration. Yin, after persistently saying so, climbed the mast and began to draw on the sails.

Leo was up on the ship's wheel, steering a steady course.

Moshi, who was watching it all from a corner with her arms folded, looked back up.

"Yin, what are you doing?!" she called out.

"What does it looks like?" She replied, with a paintbrush in her right hand and one in her mouth, which muffled her voice.

"Yes, but that?" Moshi asked, pointing to the sails.

Yin also looked. So far, there was only an oval shape outlines in black. "What?"

"What is that?" Moshi asked.

"I'm trying to draw a Yoshi Egg." she replied, before turning back and continuing her painting. "I swear, this is so awesome. This reminds me of that show called-"

Moshi slapped her head. "Yes, we all know after the 50th time!"

The ship gave small creaks as it bobbed up and down on the very calm water. As the last of the sunlight faded into the horizon of the sea, the lights on-board the ship slowly began to glow. They where artificial, must like a modern day ship.

Eloeem walked out of the ship's interior and onto the deck. "I got the lights on."

"Cool." Yoshee said.

"Okay!" Yin shouted from above. They all looked up in time to see here sliding down a rope until she landed on the dock. She took the paintbrush she had in her mouth and smiled. "It's all set!"

The others looked up and saw a huge green Yoshi egg painted on the sails.

"Nice." Enrique said, looking up from the charts he was making.

"So, is that our temporary symbol?" Yoshee asked, with Champ resting on her head.

"Yup." Yin said proudly.

"Hm..." Teo looked up, thinking about the possibilities they now had a (temporary) pirates. "...so, what kinds of pirates do you think are out there?"

"I'll bet all sorts." Yapi said. "The tough ones like those other guys back in Oceanside city will be the worst, though."

"Let's not worry about that now!" Lava interrupted. "I think we should party. You know, to celebrate our victory and new ship!"

"I'll go for that." Yoshiken said, walking through the doors. "Anyone coming?"

The crowds left their spots, except for Leo who remained at the wheel. He watched as the entire group ran into the ship and slammed the door behind them.

Leoshi could hear the sounds of conversations within the ship's hull. Music began to play. Out of curiosity, he looked back and saw a few shadows inside dancing and singing, or laughing at those who where dancing and singing.

He then turned back and looked into the starry horizon. It seemed like it would be a clear night. So far, there wasn't a sound to be heard, except for the party, and the sail whipping in the winds.

Leoshi pulled back the charts that Enrique finished.

"Hm... East North East." he said aloud. "Very well."

He grabbed the edge of the wheel and gave it a strong spin. The ship reacted almost instantly, and began to make a port turn.

----------------------------------

Hours passed from that moment. The party had sounded like it was finishing inside. Leoshi remained at the wheel, looking onward.

The sounds was becoming more and more quiet now. Lights inside where one by one, flicking off. It seemed that the worn out crew decided to go to sleep. It would have seemed as if there were only a couple of people still up.

Leoshi also gave a yawn. Though it was obvious by now that there was no sleeping now. The ship had to maintain a steady course, and if nobody else was going to stay awake, then he would have to stay at the wheel, keeping the ship steady.

Looking back into the starry ocean ahead, he could have sworn there was something blocking a couple of stars up ahead. This peaked his curiosity. He looked on ahead, paying close attention to what was in front of the ship.

Whatever it was, it looked like it was getting closer. Perhaps they had been discovered by pirates?

"This is the worst possible time." Leoshi said.

It was official now. Something was coming toward them to intercept their course. It was obvious that this needed immediate attention.

Leo ran away from the wheel after locking it in a steady position, then ran over to a control and dropped the anchors. The Majestuosa came so a sudden stop.

"I shouldn't wake up the others, they are tired." Leoshi thought. He gave a yawn and looked at the incoming ship, awaiting it's first move, slowly drawing out his spell book. "I'll have to handle this myself."

-----------------------------------

Sorry if that's short, but that's all I have for now.

[Yin]

That is a great chapter Leo! Just keep on going!! *hyper from sugar*

I wouldn't paint a goat! Maybe the straw-hat crew's... And the goat on the Merry-go is on the bow, not the flag!
EDIT: And for the hundredth time, I'M NOT A FANGIRL!
