"Captain Tzuyu!"

Tzuyu turned around quickly. "What is it Momo?"

Momo pulled out a map and pointed at various areas on it. "Nayeon has been paying close attention to weather patterns and predicts that these four areas will have storms passing through. We may need to change course."

Tzuyu nodded before facing the bridge of the boat. "Jeongyeon! Storm warning! Set a course for northwest!"

"Aye aye Captain!" Jeongyeon quickly steers the ship towards northwest.

"All hands on deck!" Tzuyu stood near the mast of the ship as several people ran towards the deck.

"We need to batten down the hatches, storms are unpredictable. We can't risk anyone getting hurt," Tzuyu ordered.

"I'll check every door and hatchet Captain!" Dahyun saluted.

"Good, go bear a hand Chaeyoung, Dahyun will need all the help she can get," Tzuyu replied, nodding.

"Yes Captain!" Chaeyoung followed Dahyun towards the cabins.

"Jihyo!"

"Yes?" Jihyo's head popped out from the crow's nest.

"Keep an eye out for any dark clouds, I don't want a single drop on this ship!" Tzuyu had to squint to see Jihyo's nod before she disappeared back into the crow's nest.

"Momo, tell Mina to prepare supper. I'm sure you're all getting hungry."

As if on cue, Momo's stomach growls. She turns a faint shade of red before saluting and taking off to find Mina.

Tzuyu shakes her head in amusement before looking at the ocean. It is a beautiful shade of dark blue. Tzuyu has always wanted to lead a ship; it's always been a dream of hers. She could tell that her sailors respected and trusted her. In return, she always made sure to treat them with kindness.

Mina prepared food for everyone. Jihyo and Jeongyeon left their stations for a bit to eat as well. After eating, Tzuyu suggested for everyone to head to the cabins and sleep.

"What about you Captain?" Nayeon asked, nibbling on a piece of bread.

"I'll man the ship, Jeongyeon needs to rest," Tzuyu stated, drinking the last of her soup. Jeongyeon looked up abruptly.

"But-"

"Are you refusing to follow orders, Jeongyeon?" Tzuyu raised an eyebrow.

"No ma'am," Jeongyeon sighed.

"Good."

Tzuyu dismissed them all before walking towards the cockpit. She placed her hands on the wheel, sighing happily. Even with a potential storm coming through, she felt at peace.

A few hours passed since supper. It was the dead of night. Tzuyu couldn't hear anything besides the calming ocean waves. She let go of the wheel and walked towards the deck. She peered up at the sail to make sure there were no blemishes before making her way towards the upper deck. The ship moved gently against the water, it's hard to believe that a storm is near them.

Tzuyu placed her hands on the ship's railings while looking over the water. She took a deep breath, filling her senses with salty air. A faint sound could be heard near her. Tzuyu froze before looking around.

"Who's there?"

Nobody answered.

Tzuyu shook her head. "I need to get more sleep, I'm hearing things."

Tzuyu froze again when she heard what she thought was music. The music was calm and serene. Tzuyu couldn't help but want to hear more. She walked along the deck to where she thinks she hears the soft music. The music seems to be coming from the water. Tzuyu peered over the deck once more and blinks several times as she takes in the sight before her.
