Chapter One
Acia Pron and her friend, Zuplez Gema, were out in the water, experimenting with different things. Like…is it possible to put an air globe on a spinney fish? As usual, Zuplez was being reluctant. “Acia, are you sure about this?” “Zuplez, I’ve told you a hundred times! Of course I’m not sure!” “That’s a pleasant thought…” As usual, he followed Acia as she swam towards the spinney fish. She carefully held the experimental air globe in front of her. She slowly lowered down towards the spinney fish and stuck the air globe on. As if she had lowered herself onto the spinney fish, it started inflating and bucking around. She grinned as she watched the chain reaction of the inflating spinney fish. “It is possible!” Acia said with a triumphant grin. Unfortunately, she didn’t notice the spinney fish behind her. “Acia! Look out!!” Zuplez yelled. Acia turned as the spinney fish bucked towards her. It hit her and she went flying into a rock. She hit the rock and went unconscious. “Acia!” Zuplez yelled. He quickly swam over to Acia and put an arm around her waist. He grunted quietly as he lifted her up. He started swimming towards the surface, still trying to avoid the spinney fish around him. The Traveler from Quillan broke the surface and looked at Acia. Water had seeped into her helmet, via a crack that had formed from the impact with the rock. Zuplez quickly removed Acia’s helmet and tossed it into the water. It was useless now. “Come on, Acia…. Wake up!” he murmured. “Come on, not again! Don’t do this to me!” Zuplez froze as he felt eyes watching him. He turned and saw two pairs of those bright yellow eyes. Quig eyes.

Chapter Two
Zuplez knew he couldn't outswim a quig AND take Acia with him. ~Ugh, where's Acia's brother when you need him?~ he thought desperately. Acia groaned quietly as she started waking up. "W-where are we?" she asked quietly. Zuplez took his helmet off and gave it to Acia. "Swim to the flume! I'll distract these guys!" "But -" "GO!" Acia nodded and dove underwater. She swam as fast as she could towards the flume. She didn't know where to go from there, but she'd figure that out later. She hoped that Zuplez would be alright ... Acia climbed out of the water and looked at the flume. She took her helmet off and set it down next to her. She stood up and engraved 'SE' into the wall. "Second Earth!" Acia called. She heard the familiar music and watched the walls turn to crystal. Just as she felt herself being sucked into the flume, she heard a scream. Her skin went pale. "Zuplez...." Acia whispered as she was sucked into the flume.

Chapter Three
Acia dropped to her knees as the flume dropped her off inside the Sherwood house. Why hadn't she stayed?! She knew that those quigs were dangerous! "If I hadn't wanted to 'experiment' none of this would have happened!" Acia said through sobs. She wiped her eyes and looked up as she heard a person enter the house. A man of about nineteen walked into the room. Acia was mesmerized by his red-brown eyes and soft, yet gentle, features. "Are you Acia?" he asked. His voice was soft, yet it still had an air of authority to it. "Y-yeah...I'm Acia..." "I'm James Patterson, the Traveler of Second Earth." He held out a hand to help her up. Acia quietly took his hand and got up. James used his other hand to wipe the stray tears from Acia's eyes. "Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" he asked softly. James and Acia quietly sat down. By the time ACia was done with her story, James was silently holding her, and she was crying into his shoulder. "I'm sure he'll be fine, Acia." James murmured. Acia shook her head as she cried. "No...he's dead. And it's all my fault!" "Acia, if he died, just remember: He did it for you." "He was my only friend, James." "What about me?" Acia looked at him. James smiled softly at her. He leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers, just as the flume sprung to life. Acia was so lost in the moment that she didn't notice that the man standing in the mouth of the flume was Zuplez.

Chapter Four "Acia?!" Zuplez asked in astonishment as he looked at James and Acia. Acia pulled away from James' kiss and looked at Zuplez, her eyes sparkling with joy. "You're alive!" she cried, standing up. She went to hug him, but he stepped back, shaking his head. "You...but I thought we..." "Zuplez, it's not what you think!" "Yeah right." "James is the Traveler of Second Earth!" "Whatever..." "Tell him, James." Acia turned to look at James - but he was gone. "... James?" Acia asked quietly. She looked at Zuplez and smiled. "I'm glad that you're alright!" Zuplez looked away from her. "You have an interesting way of showing it." he muttered. "Zuplez, I'm sorry. James was just trying to comfort me! I thought you were dead!" "Well, I'm not!" Zuplez snapped. He turned towards the flume and yelled, "Cloral!" The flume sprung to life with a jumble of music and lights. "Zuplez! Wait!" Acia cried. Zuplez didn't look at her. "Don't follow me." he said coldly. Tears welled up in Acia's eyes as she watched the flume take her best friend away. *** James smirked as he watched Zuplez and Acia from the other room. He looked at the quigs next to him. They looked up at him with their yellow eyes. "Get her."

Chapter Five Acia leaned against the wall, both amazed and painstricken at how Zuplez had reacted. She was starting to wish that she had stayed on Cloral. Everything seemed to be going wrong for her... ~Great, just what I need.~ Acia thought as she heard the growling of the quig dogs. She turned to see the dogs guarding the exit and the flume. She was close enough to the flume to be sucked in if she activated it... ~Please work...~ Acia thought desperately. "Cloral!" she called out. The dogs started to advance on her as the flume started up. She closed her eyes tightly. Acia let out a scream as one of the quigs tried to make a chew toy out of her right leg. Soon, she was sucked into the flume and on her way to Cloral. (Luckily, in one piece.) *** ~No!~ James thought angrily. ~It's bad enough that he survived, but did she have to, as well?!~ "We should go pay a visit to Lueda, huh boys?" he said to the quigs. They growled in response. James turned to the flume and called out, "Zadaa!"

Chapter Six"Stay here." James ordered the snake quigs when he arrived on Zadaa. Luckily for him, Lueda was one of those who worked underground. It didn't take long for him to find her. She was working on one of the water systems. "Hello Lueda." he said. Lueda didn't look at him. "James." was all she said. James rubbed the back of his head. This was going to be harder than he thought... "Lueda..." "You want me to come with you." "Er...yeah." "Alright." "Wha...really?' "Yeah." James smirked. Things just got a whole lot easier... *** "Zuplez, look at me! He means nothing to me!" Acia said, trying to get him to listen to her. Zuplez pulled his air globe on and lowered himself into the water. Acia went to follow him, but she stopped and clutched at her quig bite. She leaned against the wall and slid to the ground, her face twisted in pain. Zuplez looked at her, obviously worried. "Acia? What happened to your leg?" he asked as he got out of the water. Acia looked away from him. "Oh, so now you care!" "Acia -" "What?" Acia snapped. Zuplez looked at the ground. "I...I never stopped caring..."

Chapter Seven"Let's talk back on Second Earth." Lueda said, finally looking at him. James nodded in agreement. "We'll have more privacy there." he agreed. The walk back to the flume was a quiet one. That was the one thing he didn't like about Lueda: she was too quiet! Soon, they got to the flume and headed to Second Earth *** Acia was quiet as Zuplez cleaned and bandaged her wound. He quietly looked at her. Acia smiled softly. "Thanks Zuplez...umm....Zuplez?" she asked. "What is it Acia?" "Why did it hurt you so much when you saw us kissing?" "B-because..." "Because why?" "Just...because." He blushed and looked away from her. Acia smiled to herself. ~He'll tell me when he's ready.~

Chapter EightZuplez and Acia quietly sat together at the mouth of the flume. Acia caught Zuplez staring at her more than once. Every time, Zuplez looked away, blushing. Acia knew he was smiling, though. "So...what do you want to do?" she finally asked. "Dunno." "Want to go visit James and -" "Acia, please! I want nothing to do with your boyfriend." "One, he's not my boyfriend. And two, I was going to say 'and formally introduce you'." "... Oh..." "So, do you want to?" "Eh, sure. Why not?" *** "You know what to do, right?" James asked. Lueda sighed and nodded, rolling her eyes. "Yes, James." "Good. Now let's wait for them." "How do you know they'll come?" "They're best friends. Where she goes, he follows." "But I thought you -" "I only did that so I could get away." "Oh... so you knew they'd be friends again?" "Yep. Now let's wait."
