Isis' POV

I've been walking for the past hour. I've just been walking alone. I don't even know where I'm going.

I stop and look around. I decide on where to go.

I walk into a bunch of bushes and down a small slope into the trees. I walk down to the pond Riker took me to.

I sit on the dock and take off my shoes and socks. I put my feet in the water. a few minutes later my phone rings.

It's my dad...

"Hey daddy." I say.

"Hey sweetie, how are you?" he asks.

"Uh... I'm fine, how are you?" I ask.

"I'm also fine. what have you been up to there? is it a nice place?"

"I've been hanging out with the neighbors. they are really nice. it's a nice place. how's everything on the ship?"

"Everything's good. you know how I'm supposed to be coming back in February?"

"Yeah..."

"The date has been changed. we are coming back in December. Like maybe the fifth or sixth."

"Really? I can't wait!" I really miss him.

"Me, too. so how's your mother?"

"My mother? um..." what do I say? I can't tell him about Jake... "she's fine."

"Really? can I talk to her?"

"She's not with me right now. I kinda went for a walk alone."

"Does she know where you are?"

"She thinks I'm with the neighbors but if she goes to get me I'm sure my friend Riker will tell her."

"Riker? is that a guy?"

"Yeah, and before you ask; no. we are not dating. we are just friends."

"Ok. well I'm gonna go sweetie. I'm gonna try to call your mother."

"Ok, bye. I love you!"

"I love you, too! bye!" he hangs up.

I lean back and lay on the dock with my feet still hanging down in the water.

I think about the first time I was here with Riker. the kiss. it was weird but nice. I wish he were sitting next to me, I like his company.

My phone vibrates and I look at it. it's a text from Riker.

~Text conversation~

R-Riker I-Isis

R- hey, where are you? you've been gone for two ours.

I- I died

R- what's wrong?

I- will you come here? I don't want to be alone anymore.

R- yeah. where are you?

I- lake

R- alright. I'm on my way.

~Text conversation over~

I take my feet out of the water and curl up on my side. I fall asleep.

Riker's POV

I walk down the stairs.

"I'm gonna go find Isis." I call out to everyone in the house.

"Alright, be home for dinner." My mom calls back.
