Ohana means family

James:*looks down at DBA* why did she pass out though... *a guilty look covers his face* wa... was it because of the pain..?
Reggie: thats the only thing I can come up with...
James:*looks straight ahead and angry* I should've seen something. Some sign.. anything at all!
Reggie:*comes over and rests his hand on James' shoulder to calm him down a bit* it's not your fault, she made sure we didn't notice on purpose!
James:*scoffs and looks at Reggie* yeah well... *sigh* doesn't mean I wish I wasn't there Reggie, you know what I mean...
Reggie: yeah yeah I do and that's why we're gonna get to LSS and save DBA
James: in less then 3 hours? How?
Reggie: ummm... *searches around the room and his eyes land on DBA* I don't know... *slowly sinks to the floor next to James and they both look straight ahead trying to think of a plan*
DBA:*murmurs and her eyes snap open* really again with snuggly blanket? *chuckles*
Reggie and James:*eyes snap to DBA's and their mouth's drop open*
DBA:*yawns and winces then tried to bring up her hand to her head but realized they are squished to her side by James' arms around her* uhhhh... James I realize you must really loooove holding me in this position but I need to move I'm getting really kinda claustrophobic...
James: oh my gosh I'm so sorry *quickly releases DBA and kinda pushes her off his lap*
DBA: whoa! Ouch! I didn't realize how much you could get hurt in water... *tries to stand and rubs her butt from getting pushed off James's lap then looks up at James and Reggie and laughs* oh my goodness sakes you two! James your fine this isn't the worst pain I've had! And Reggie close your mouth will ya?
Reggie:*shuts his mouth* bu... but how are you up?!!! Ok that sounded bad *swims over to DBA and tackles her into a hug then pulls apart and grabs her shoulders* I'm glad your up but how are you?
DBA:*laughs and puts her own hands on Reggie's shoulders* I just took a nap I'm exhausted for some reason all of a sudden it just hit me *shakes head to clear thoughts* but we need to get to LSS so let's go *drops her arms down and about to swim away but Reggie keeps her in place and gives him a confused look* what the heck Reggie? *looks over at James for help* uhhhh James little help here
James:*shakes his head no* one of us has to take you to the surface...
DBA: WHAT?!!!! No way! Not gonna happen *rips out of Reggie's grip and starts to swim away but swims into James who grabs onto her arm and makes her face him and grabs both arms* *pants* WHAT THE FUDGE JAMES?!! *starts to breathe really heavily like she ran a race*
JAMES:*flinches but doesn't look away from DBA and stares at her with concern* DBA how are you feeling..?
DBA: I'm.. I'm fine! Now let me go!
James: no
DBA: why on earth not?!!!
James: because you aren't fine that's why!!! Your gonna die of drowning little over 3 hours if you stay unless we can get you to the surface!
DBA:*gives James a hard look* I don't know what your talking about! I'm perfectly fine!! *winces in pain than starts panting more*
James: really?!!! Because I don't think you are! You look miserable!
DBA:*rolls eyes* thanks and I thought you said I was beautiful?
James: you know what I mean so stop with the attitude!
DBA:*glares* you don't understand!
James: enlighten me than!
DBA: you don't know what it's like to lose a friend someone close to you that's family! I do and I'm not going to lose another one too!!!!
James: actually I do I had to leave my family when I was brought to work for the Queen so I know the pain your feeling... I couldn't stay and help them but I can try and save you.. We need to get to the surface
DBA:*eyes soften a little bit* if you truly knew I feel than you wouldn't stop me but try and help me.. I gave you a second chance hoping you'd help me but I guess everyone was right... I'm too nice, too soft I just let people hurt me. I just expect everyone to be good... Thanks for helping clear that up, *turns head back to Reggie* I'm guessing your not gonna help me either huh?
Reggie:*nods his head to show that DBA is right* sorry...
DBA:*chuckles a bit* sorry but that doesn't really work this time... *looks back up at James* you know the saying by Lilo? Ohana means family, and family means no one gets forgotten or left behind... I can't leave LSS behind *rips out of James' grip and swims over to the wall right of her and hits a stone than turns back around as the door opens* I had fun too bad it didn't last *as she swims back through wall she tries and chuck something towards James but it just floats down*
Reggie:*shakes his head and tries to make it before the wall closes back up again but doesn't make it* dang it! James come help me!
James:*slowly swims over to Reggie still in a daze of what happened looking towards the objects that DBA dropped* I screwed up... doing the right thing I screwed up.. how?
Reggie:*stops looking for the stone that makes the wall open and turns to James* you can't win them all right? *true to give an encouraging smile but fails* I don't know... it is DBA she seems like she is very stubborn...
James:*looks up at Reggie* good try... but not very cheerful
Reggie:*shrugs* I tried turns back to the wall to look for the stone* how on Neptune did she know which stone to push?
James:*looks back at the object and stares to swim towards it* the better question is how does she know where it goes? *picks up object and reads it* ummmm Reggie how is that coming?
Reggie: why?
James: because we need to get to DBA... the thing she dropped is a bracelet with the words "Warrior Fred" it's super cheesy like her and earlier while she slept she said Fred but also said dead...
Reggie:*freezes* so when she said lose some like family that was close to her she actually meant lose...
James: yeah, yeah she did... *looks at the wall and picks a stone than pushes it* *swims back a bit as the wall opens* let's go find DBA and LSS
Reggie: sounds good but you realize that DBA will still probably hate us right?
James: yeah but doesn't mean we can't help and try and fix what we screwed up..
Reggie: true so what are we waiting for? *swims into were the wall opened up*
James:*looks at the bracelet in his hand than courses his fist around it and follows after Reggie right before the wall closes*
