I love doing this! You know, I kind of expected my writing to slow down even more since school has started back up, but I got out two chapters before it started and this will be the third since I've been back to school. I feel like this is somehow the opposite of what should be happening, but I don't really care.
Enough of the mushy/ranty stuff.
I.O.N.
Enjoy!

Chloe watched the two leave, making sure that neither tried to sneak back around. When she was satisfied that they were gone, the sharp-tongued blonde sighed and walked up the plank and called out softly, "Marinette, you can come out now, they're gone."
Marinette stood up slowly from where she'd hidden, and Adrien and Nino walked out from her cabin.
Adrien was shocked to see Marinette so shaken, they hadn't been able to hear much, but it was obvious that she hadn't been the one to talk to Lila.
"What happened?"
"Dylan."
Nino hissed at the name, "We've got to leave."
Marinette sighed shakily, "Nino, we can't exactly just pick up and leave. We've got passengers who are counting on us."
The turtle themed pirate paced up and down the length of the ship, "Well we can't stay here! If that ba- jerk is here and looking for the Red Lady then he'll be back, especially if Lila's with him."
Chloe glared at her adoptive brother, "Then what do you suggest we do? It's not like Tikki can just show up and destroy us."
Her words gave Nino an idea, "But what if she could?"
"Then it would solve the problem, but you seem to be forgetting one crucial thing: This is Tikki!"
Nino laughed, giddy off of his idea. "I know how to get away with it!"
By now even Marinette had calmed down enough to be interested, "How?"
He motioned for all of them to come closer, "Okay, so here's how we do it."
