Dieter floated out onto calm waters as the barrel closed and crashed. He threw his fists into the air and crowed victoriously. Up on shore, Amadi and paddled his way back to the sand and he too was cheering his companion on.
The hairy behemoth scanned the waters trying to see where Aella would resubmerge, but he was having touble finding her. "She had to have gone under. No way she made it out of that pipe in time."

Feliciana stood, looking out at the water in hopes of seeing Aella. The steam made from the crash of the wave blurred her vision. Everybody else stared, holding their breath as they heard a wet splashing sound. As the steam cleared, it revealed Aella kneeling on her board, paddling back towards shore. She shook her head, her soaked hair spraying water everywhere. "Ugh, that wave nearly landed on my head. Hell, I'm surprised the wall of water didn't shove me under!" Swimming to the shore, Aella smirked at Dieter. "Hey, sasquatch!"
Feliciana smiled, relieved. She shook her head and rubbed her head, tugging on her shorts slightly.

His head turned to the shore at the sound of her voice. With a big grin he waved at her. "I guess it's a draw then!" Dieter sat down on his board and paddled into shore. He bumped fists with Amadi upon his return.
"Nice moves, Tank," said the taller man.
"Thanks." He turned to face Aella. "Well, you may be unbeatable, but you aren't unmatched." He grinned. "Not anymore."

Aella snickered, grinning at Dieter. "Hm. I suppose I'm not." Reaching the shore, she stood and gripped her board, smiling at her sisters. After a pause, she smirked. "Hey, Felice? You cryin' or something?" she chuckled.
Feliciana quickly wiped her eyes and glared at Aella, but smiled all the same. "Well, what did you expect? We thought you went under, you big scaley beast!" Cassiah and Malandra giggled.

Amadi looked slightly saddened. "Hey now, I didn't see you shed any tears for me when I went under." He took her hand and lifted it to his lips. "I thought we had something special, baby." With shimmering amber eyes he lightly kissed Feliciana's knuckles.
Dieter saw the unbridled rage building in the Raptor's eyes. He shook his head at his friend. "Man, she's gonna kick your sorry-flirtin'-black-ass all the way to Atmosia."

"You're damn right I will!" Aella snarled. She ran at Amadi and literally head-butted him in the side, growling. "Or did you forget what I said a few minutes ago?"
"Aella!" Feliciana slapped the lizard's arm, frowning. "You didn't have to head-butt him like that! Granted, he is a good for nothing flirt, but still!" She folded her arms across her chest and pouted. Cassiah snickered.

Amadi rolled in the sand groaning loudly. All the nerves in his scars were screaming at him for being such a dumb-ass. Dieter just chuckled. "Suck it up, you'll be fine. So what else are you kids up to out here in the jungle?"

Feliciana grinned, still a bit nervous around the large man. "Oh, nothing really. Our mother wanted to come see the shore but she's back inside our airship. Sometimes even a squadron like us needs some time off."
Aella shook her head again, moving her board under her arm, quietly growling as she passed Amadi, still obviously sore at the human.

Dieter nodded. "I know what you mean. Hey, there's no reason your mother should miss out on this kind of atmosphere. If you want, I could carry her out here." He flexed his soft muscles. "I'd treat her just like a porcelain doll. The same way I carry my girlfriend, real gentle and slow. I promise."

There was an airy chuckle. "No need, good sir. I am quite able to walk on my own, thanks." Pushing through the trees, the old woman called Sybil stepped onto the shore. She wore a thin, teal shawl over her pearl-colored dress and many silver bangles on her pale arms. Her strange gold and silver curls of hair were held back by a jeweled pin. She smiled at Dieter.
"I see you have been having fun out here. A pity I missed it."
Feliciana giggled. "Hello to you too, Mother."

(I need to head off to bed. I've got school in the morning)
Dieter nodded in recognition. "Just thought I could help."
In the woman's presence Amadi rose to his feet. With an air of sincerity he took her hand and kissed the back of it. "Afternoon, ma'am. Might I say you look beautiful?"
The two may have been Cyclonians, but they knew how to be civil.

Sybil chuckled, bowing her head to Amadi. "Hmm. Afternoon to you too, Amadi. Thank you. And you too, Dieter."
Feliciana snickered. "Did we forget to mention our mother's a prophetess?"

"You might want to warn us next time." Dieter chuckled as he wrung the water from the hair on his arms. "If Beck were here, he'd be flipping out. Guy has this thing about spirits and spooks."
"Prophets are rare and sacred, like a diamond in a pile of coal," said Amadi. "You'll want to take good care of your mother. Rare treasures are often sought out by pirates."

Cassiah grinned and folded her arms behind her head. "We'll try to remember that."
"That is very true, Amadi. My kind are rare and sought after by many. Both good and tainted alike." Sybil smiled at Amadi and walked over to Aella, who sat beneath a lush tree, gently patting the Raptor's head. "I see you had yourself a good time, Aella. You normally choose lava-surfing over water surfing."
The said lizard grumbled, but leaned into the old woman's touch. "Hmph. Still not as challenging. Or as exciting." she said, whipping her tail against the sand. Sybil chuckled and shook her head.
"You never change, my little one." Aella was thankful that her scaley, brownish-green skin was dark enough to hide the blush that blossomed across her face. Malandra snickered behind her hand while Miki squeaked and tugged on one of Aella's horns.

Amadi inched his way over to Feliciana. He didn't look at her or say anything, but he managed to stand close enough so that his left thigh touched hers. He knew the old woman may as well have eyes in the back of her head, but Amadi wasn't the subtle type anyway. A flirt's a flirt after all.
"Not a challenge?" Dieter snorted. "If I recall correctly, I gave you a run for your money out there in the pipeline."

"Hmm. You sure no waves knocked your memory askew, sasquatch? I believe I did perfectly fine, just a little out of practice." Aella snickered, her eyes looking over at Amadi and Feliciana. A growl bubbled in her throat. "Hey, flirt, mind stepping away from sister?"
Sybil laughed, shaking her head. "Always such a ladiesman, Amadi?"

Amadi flashed one of his charming smiles. "Yes ma'am. Mamma must not have paid enough attention to me as a boy. I find female companionship nurturing."
Dieter snorted. "Don't vomit that bullshit on her. I've met your mom and she spoiled you crazy. You just can't keep it in your pants."
"That too," the armless pilot laughed.
The human behemoth turned back to the Raptor. "Just admit I was a challenge for you. After that, I'll leave the subject alone."

Sybil shook her head again and smiled, feigning a look of shock. "My, such language." Feliciana snickered. "C'mon, Mother, you know you hear enough language like that from Aella at least three times a day." The young woman fidgeted slightly and scooted away from Amadi.
Cassiah giggled. "You should just give up, man. Aella's as stubborn as they come." Said lizard huffed and flicked her tail in the sand.

"I'm sure I could match her at that too. But I'll be a gentleman and let the lady have her way, how does that sound?"
Amadi looked up at the gradually overcast sky. "Hey man, where did the sun go? I'm getting cold," he said with a shiver.
"I hardly even noticed." Dieter scratched the hair on his chest.

Aella snickered."I'm glad we understand." Cassiah and Feliciana giggled, and looked up at the darkening sky. Grabbing two thin blankets from her pack, Feliciana handed one to her sister and wrapped the other one around her shoulders, knowing Aella seemingly never grew cold in such conditions. "Yeah, it seemed like the weather was just fine a while ago."
"A storm is coming. Not too terrible, but quite large." Sybil muttered, tightening her grip on her thin shawl. Aella stood up, Malandra and Miki perched on both her shoulders, and snorted at Dieter, "Hmph, that's not surprising."

He shrugged. "Hey, God must have given me all this fur for a reason." Dieter smiled somewhat fondly. "On cold nights, my girlfriend likes to curl up close to me. She says I keep her warm."
"Mind sharing?" Amadi tugged on the corner of Feliciana's blanket. He really did want a way to keep the chill off, but sharing the blanket with the girl would have been bonus.
"Jeez, suck it up Wing-Walker. A little rain and wind never hurt anybody. If you wanted to keep warm, maybe you should wear a little more than a speedo."

Aella coughed, adjusting her black cloak. "Ugh, that info was not needed to be said aloud..." The Raptor growled, eyeing Amadi.
Feliciana gulped and tensed, reaching back into her pack and tossing another blanket at Amadi. "Um, here you go, Amadi." Sybil chuckled and looked up at the sky, feeling the first few sprinkles of rain. "Hm, perhaps we should find shelter in the airship."

The pompous smirk fell from Dieter's face. He glanced at his squad partner who also seemed wary.
"We... wouldn't want to impose," said the dark-skinned man. "We'd only be a bother. Dieter would probably insist on eating all your food, and me," he laughed, "Well, I'd go searching for the first bedroom."

Sybil smiled at the two men. "If you wish to join us is your decision." Aella suddenly sprung onto her clawed feet, ran to her 'mother's' side and quickly flung her black cloak over the old woman's head from the rain. Said woman grinned kindly at the Raptor. "Thank you, darling."
Feliciana quietly inched away from Amadi, but smiled. Cassiah gave a wave of her hand. "Well, if you guys want to, you can come. But I'm sure you have your own ship or Skimmers, right?"

"We've got a ship," replied Dieter. "In fact, we should probably get going. Our squad leader doesn't exactly know we took the day off and he's gonna be pretty pissed when he finds out we're gone."
The two men picked up their boards and bid their farewells. "Thanks for the blanket," said Amadi as he secured it around his shoulders. "You don't mind if I keep it, do you?"
"Well gecko girl, it was fun." Dieter extended his hair hand to shake her clawed one. "Next time, maybe I'll whoop your tail at lava surfing." The man grinned. "How's that sound?"
