The ship had just landed on a little planet filled with trees and grass. I looked excited down from the edge and then at the others from the crowd who also were excited to finally see other colors than black and blue. When captain Amelia gave us permission we all ran down from the ship, yelling in excitement. When my feet felt the soft grass I was ready to just run away, but suddenly a hand grabbed my wrist. I turned around and saw Jim.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"Just trying to keep you from killing yourself in the wild," he smirked. "This is a forest full of bugs, spiders and other disgusting things."

"Back off," I said and tore my hand away from his grip. "I'm not like the others. I can take it."

He chuckled.

"I'm sure you can, until you see a spider with the same size of your hand."

I looked at all the others enjoying themselves around by climbing into trees or jumping into small lakes.

"I don't care, I just wanna look around before we go on board again."

"I'll be your companion."

I moaned.

"As long as you don't keep me away from doing stuff."

"Stuff like what?" He smirked.

"Just stuff okay! Arg! Let's just.. go."

He chucked as he followed behind me in between all the trees. We walked for a couple of minutes in silence. This was awfully awkward. Then I saw the most beautiful shining lake. It was literally shining in the sun. And flowers in all colors was all around it. I looked behind me and saw Jim. He knew what I was thinking.

"Hell no you ain't gonna do that. Not on my watch."

"You promised me you wouldn't keep my away from doing all the funny stuff. Besides, you can't really force me to not do it."

I winked at him and took off my top.

"(Y/N)!" He exclaimed. "Wha-what are you?"

"You don't expect me to shower with my clothes on? Do you have any idea how long time it's been since I've taken a shower?"

He didn't say anything, but looked away when I took off my shorts and threw them at him.

"Catch!"

He reached out after them but rapidly threw them on the ground when he realized what it was.

"You!-"

SPLASH!

I had already jumped into the water and didn't hear what he was gonna say. I swam up on the surface again and saw how wet he was now and started laughing.

"That's great.. keep on laughing you little-"

"No bad words!" I yelled and splashed more water on him.

He yelled in terror and walked a little away from me.

"Quit it!"

"Only if you join me," I said with a wink.

"Hell no. There's a tons of weird creatures and disgusting fishes."

"And you called me a girly girl," I laughed and tried to splash some more water on him.

"I didn't say that exactly!"

"No, but you referred to it!"

"Don't blame me if a big monster grabs your foot and pull you down."

"Yeah right."

Even tho I didn't believe him I got the creeps. I wanted to get up from the lake, but.. something had grabbed my ankle. I looked terrified at Jim.

"JIM!" I screamed as I got pulled down into the water..

———————————

Jim

"You won't get me (Y/N)!" I yelled. "You're just making a prank.."

The silence filled the air and I must admit.. I got the chills. Why didn't she get up.. I walked over to the lake and looked down, but.. totally emptiness. My heart started beating faster and faster and I didn't think much of it before I jumped into the water. I didn't swim up to the surface to get some more air. I jumped straight down to the deep where I saw what was holding her down.

I saw how she reached out for me when she noticed me and how her eyes were filled with terror and panic. When I had swam down to her I grabbed her hand and tried to pull her up, but something was keeping her down. I swam down to her legs and saw.. tentacles. I rushed in panic and grabbed the closest rock I could fine and hit it..

One time.. two times.. three times. Yes! The tentacles had let go of her and I grabbed her waist and pulled her up with me. It took forever since it was heavier swimming for two. When we finally had reached the surface we both gasped wild for air. I helped her over to the grass and we both climbed climbed up to the dry grass.

"Th-thanks Jim.." she gasped as we laid there.. exhausted while drying in the sun. "I should've.. should've listened to you.."

I looked at her while still gasping and gave her a little smile.

"That's what I always tell you.."

When I finally had got enough energy I got up and collected all her clothes. I threw it at her and she slowly took it on. After that I looked at her.. damns she looked exhausted.

"Are you coming or what? I think the others will wonder where we are if we don't go now."

She got up and looked at me.

"Only if you care me.."

I sighed and kneeled down so she could get up on my back.

"Come on.."

She clapped her hands and jumped excited on.
