Aia's P.O.V:


"Fair? Fair isn't a word where I come from!"

I gasped loudly and sat up in my bed. The room was completely dark since it was still in the middle of the night.
I rubbed my eyes, threw my legs over the side of the bed and rested my face in my hands.
Since I achieved my true potential, the nightmares about the shipwreck had stopped. It felt so good to be free of them, but they were soon replaced by nightmares of that night when Lloyd and I grew older. Sure, it was our choice, but I couldn't help but feel like I'd lost something very important. There isn't many people who can say they've lost their childhood, right?
I decided to get dressed since I knew I wouldn't be able to fall asleep again anyways.
I fumbled my way through the darkness and managed to find some clothes in my closet. I took a small glance at the sleeping Nya at the other side of the room before silently making my way out to the hallway.

I took a shower and changed my clothes in the bathroom before heading out to the deck.
I leaned against the railing and sighed as I watched the sun rise. I tugged the sleeves of my gray hoodie down over my hands so they wouldn't get cold. I borrowed it from Nya since all my old clothes didn't fit anymore.
Nya had really been there for me these past few days. She'd given my lots of advice on what it was like to be ''a woman'' and let me borrow her clothes until I got the chance to buy some new ones myself. She also agreed to share her room with me, since Sensei thought I'd gotten too old to stay in the guy's. Don't get me wrong, the others had been there for me as well, but just not as much as Nya since they didn't know what it was like to be a girl.
I promised myself to thank Nya later and thereafter headed back inside to see if the others were awake yet.

I felt a lot better after being exposed to fresh air and even managed to produce a small smile when I encountered Sensei on the hallway.
"Well, hello Aia." Sensei seemed surprised to see me. "What are you doing up so early?"
I rubbed my eyes, still a little tired. "I couldn't sleep."
"I see. "
"Are we having sunrise exorcise today?" I asked slightly exited. I think I'm the only person on the Bounty, except for Sensei, that actually enjoys morning exorcise.
Sensei chuckled. "I'm glad to see you're looking forward to it, Aia."
"Of course I am!" I smiled, trying my best to forget about the nightmare. "I just dont think the others are morning persons."
"I agree." The wise man said. "Come on, lets wake them up."
I skipped down the hallway and therefore was the first to enter the room.
I'd barely opened the door before a burned alarm clock was thrown at me. "What the-"
Lloyd rubbed his neck awkwardly. "Sorry. "
I grinned. "I guess you dont like Wednesdays?"
He shrugged and a very cheerful Sensei Wu entered the room. "Good morning, morning, morning! Up up, it's a new day students! Before we begin the sunrise exorcise, I noticed that the dragon have made another mess outside. It looks like a two-person job, hehe-"
With that said, Sensei exited the room which caused everyone to grow irritated.
"Eh, what was that, Sensei? I couldn't hear you." Cole lied.
Everyone began to leave the room, leaving Lloyd and I behind.
"Guys, I'm sure you've got this." Jay placed his hands on our shoulders before heading towards the door as well.
I had no problem with taking care of the matter. I loved dragons after all, but Lloyd didn't seem to take it too well.
"Ugh, you might've been able to dump chores on me when I was smaller, but I'm grown up now, thats not fair!"
Kai sighed and turned around. "You're right, Lloyd. We need to settle this like men: With a round of rock-paper-clamp!"
I facepalmed as the other guys nodded and made a circle around Lloyd. They couldn't be serious.
"Okay-" Kai began. Oh wow, they were serious. "One, two, three!"
Lloyd turned out to be the only one with a clenched fist, which means that he lost.
"Haha!" Jay gave Kai a highfive. "Paper beats rock!"
"Ugh!" Lloyd sighed annoyed. "How does paper beat rock?"
