Wish Of A Shooting Star

" The stars shine differently in this part of the world. "

"Hey! Can you at least not try to throw me off the boat!"

A girl could be heard whining as she leaned against the railing of the boat's deck. (H/c) locks bounced around as she turned to face her friends. Killua was dangerously close to her, threatening to push her off of the boat. "Oi! I said no!" (Y/n) stuck her tongue out at her friend before ducking under and running behind him.

"I still need to get you back for stealing my food last night!"

"It was just last night! Why do you have to push me off the boat?!"

"Cuz thieves gotta walk the plank!"

The three teens run around, laughing and chasing each other. The crewmates looked at them with curious gazes. Some kept their eyes on them while others returned to their work.

It was always nice to have a few lively passengers on board, especially since the boat ride can sometimes be depressing. Their laughs filled the air, lightening up the atmosphere the boat had from the beginning.

The three teens stopped their antics and found themselves at the back of the boat. All three stared at the ocean, panting and lightly laughing to themselves. (Y/n) pressed herself against the railing, her arms propped up so she could support her head. "I'm beat from running," the girl mumbled. She turns her head to look at her friends who stared out at sea. "We'll be there soon right?"

Gon looked down at his friend, smiling. "I'm sure. Usually, it doesn't take that long to get there. I've heard from the captain that the longest they've gone is around five days."

"We've been on this boat for three days already," Killua chimed in, "I'm hoping we don't have to stay here for another two days. There's really nothing to do on the boat ya know." The white-haired boy pushed his bangs away from his face and sighed. "Well other than chase (Y/n) around for stealing our food again."

"Hey!" (Y/n) yelled, "It was only one time! It's not like I've been stealing your food for the past three days!"

"That's something a thief would say," Killua smiled, "So you gotta come clean to us now before we push you off."

"Trust me, I didn't," (Y/n) pouted, "You're mean, Killua."

Gon stared at his friends, laughing at their antics. "Well when we get to Whale Island, I'm sure Aunt Mito is gonna cook a lot of stuff for us. She'll want to cook for all of us anyway. She's super nice." The raven-haired teen nudged his friends, smiling.

The three looked down at the water, finding the deep blue ocean.

"You ever wonder what's down there," (Y/n) asked, "Like, what if there's big giant fish there, swimming around, waiting for food you know."

Gon and Killua looked at each then to the girl they stood beside.

"You sure you wanna think about that right here? When we're basically floating in it?"

"Well, it's not like it's gonna creep me out or anything," (Y/n) pouted, "besides, we have nothing better to do than talk about things, so might as well talk about the ocean."

"Well I've heard they've pulled some giant squid from the ocean. Luckily for us, it doesn't live in tropical areas! If we were to see it, it would have been like the Kraken or something!" Gon spoke, "I dunno what goes on in this part of the ocean though, since I only fish in the lakes but, you know I think they're gotta be some big fish out here in these parts!"

The teens continued to yap their mouths before they were called down by one of the crewmembers. They had been facing the back for so long that they didn't see that they were already close to Whale island. Upon hearing the news, the three scurried off inside to grab their belongings so they could be ready to hop off. They didn't have to worry about paying for their fare, as Gon already did three days ago.
