After 5 hours of sleeping, Jema felt the turbulence of the plane as they were landing. She let out a deep sigh and looked at the window. "Nervous?" Jia asked her that made her sigh again.

"Nervous, excited. Mostly nervous."

"Because of the training? The national team? Or bec.." she was cut off because the flight attendant said that we can remove the seat belt.

"Shut up." Jema stood up making Jia to chuckle and stand up too. She saw Fhen looking at her but she just removed her gaze and focus on getting her hand carry luggage on the overhead.

When they were already off the plane they were ushered to a huge yacht for them to go to the island. "That's not a yacht, that's a ship!" Jia said in the top of her lungs as the engine of the plane was still running.

"Right?! I was thinking the same thing!!"

While they were walking, Bea turned to them, so she was basically walking backwards, she waived at them in an OA manner. And as clumsy as she is, she stumbled and fall on her ass. Jia laughed hard, and 10 seconds after, realization dawned on her that she was supposed to help her girlfriend. She ran towards her, Bea wincing in pain and rubbing her back. Jema was shaking her head in disbelief.

When they got to the "yacht", which she is still not convinced it was, it was a freaking ship!, she noticed that the music on her earphones stopped, she was listening to Spotify. She fished it out of her pocket and saw that there was no signal for mobile phones.

Oh right, 2 months and our phones will be useless.

The crew started to send out key cards for their bedrooms. Of course it was arranged by team but Bea got her way to join their room. She has been nonstop on teasing Jema and the latter is starting to get pissed.

There were 3 bunk beds per room. She will be sharing with Ced. Maddie with Den, and Jia with Bea.

"Walang gagawa ng milagro Jia ha? Grabe naman saglit na nga lang tayo dito. Baka samantalahin nyo pa."

"I cannot promise that Ced. Jia can't take her hands off of me." Bea said as she plopped at their bed, but she was immediately on the floor as Jia kicked her out of it. "Ouch! Hoooon! I was just kidding lang eh!" Jia just stuck out her tongue.

They have their free time. The others decided to rest or take a nap. The crew said that the travel will be at least 3 hours, so, Jema decided to take a walk around the "yacht". She found herself on the open area and saw some chaise, she lay down and she put on a shades and closed her eyes, she was drifting to sleep when someone talked.

"Uhm.." She opened her eyes and squinted at the person who just talked but she can't see her as the sun was exactly behind that person. All she can see is black, a silhouette.

She tried to remember who's voice that is, cause she was sure she's too familiar with it. The person now moved and sat at the next chaise. She looked at the person next to her who wears a black shirt a white short and slippers. She hoped that she was only dreaming. She closed her eyes and hoping that when she opened her eyes, she will disappear, but that person spoke again.

"Sorry, uh, I... Uh.." She flinched, what is happening? She asked to herself. She froze when she realized that she is really talking to her.

Why are you here?! When are you back?! She wanted to shout at her, but can't cause someone interrupted her thinking. 

"Deanna!" Bea shouted at her back. Oh, hell! Jema cursed as she was sick of the banters of the girl.

"Ahh!!" Bea clapped her hands. "Jema, di ko ba nabanggit sayo na nandito na ulet si Deanna? She is our new coach for Choco Mucho, she replaced Ate Jem." She put her arms on Deanna's shoulder.
