I awoke to the rocking of the ship.

I sat up and looked around while rubbing my eyes.

The sun was shining through the window perfectly.

I stood up and stretched.

I went over and threw my war coat in lazily.

Then I just went up to the top deck.

When I got up there, I saw Yang leaned up against the wall with her bike and ours.

She was looking at the picture of team STRQ.

She put the picture away as I leaned against the wall with her.

Me: So. Were finally going to see Mom.

Yang: Yep.

Me: Hmph. Excited?

Yang just dropped her head.

Me: Yeah, I'm nervous too.

Yang: So your not the only one shaking in your boots right now?

Me: Nope.

Then Yang sighed

Yang: Wolf... Your the best brother any one could ask for...

Me: I like to pride myself, but why are you telling me this all of a sudden?

Yang: I guess I feel that... Well... I don't give you enough praise. You've trained me, you've helped me with loss, you've even saved my life a few times over the years. I don't really feel like I can say it enough. You were just there for me.

Me: Yang, that's sweet and all, but I'm your big brother. It's what I do. I'm here to protect you and Ruby when that need arises. I don't need thanks for it.

Yang laughed lightly

Yang: Why do you always do that?

Me: Do what?

Yang: Anytime someone thanks you or priases you, you act modest and say you don't require it. Its like you can't take a compliment!

I smirked

Me: Guess its just how I am.

Yang: There you go again!

We laughed.

Me: Well if it makes you feel any better, having a sibling as great as you is thanks enough.

She smiled and I put an arm around her.

There was a brief silence.

Me: You a fan of sea travel?

Yang: Nope.

Me: Me neither.

Then Riley and Aaron came up.

Riley: Guys, we have a problem.

Me: What?

Aaron: Ships sonars are goin off. Could be Grimm.

Me: How many alerts?

Aaron: One.

Me: Then its probably just a passing Reaper Eel.

Riley: It could also be Sea Feilong Titanokano.

Me: True.

Then the ship shook violently for a second.

Me: That... Was too big to be either...

Riley: A Feilong could rip the ship in half, but if it was one, we'd be dead already.

The ship shook again.
