Chapter 12.
"What hit me?" Locke said rubbing his head groaning.
"I don't understand what could have happened?" Setzer was saying to himself looking at his fully broken watch. "I'll tell you what happened," Sabin was saying getting to his feet. "you're an idiot!"
"I beg your pardon?!" Setzer said standing and getting in Sabin's face.
"I mean who has an attack like that?!" He continued not the least bit afraid. "It was the jokers doom. Knocks out everyone and everything, kills them in fact, we're lucky. Had it not been broken we'd of surely died, but it only blew up the mechanical things, fixable surely, we'll be fine." He explained.
"Yeah, no thanks to you..." Sabin sat himself down on the ocean shore they landed by and looked out at the water.
'This looks like that island that Cid and I were on, but it can't be there's a cave instead of a house.' She looked down the beach at Locke who was brushing sand around as though he were looking for something. 'I have to keep trying.' She thought walking over to him.
"Hi Locke," She crouched next to him. "what are you doing?" He looked over at her and raised an eyebrow.
"You sure are acting weird, if there's something you wanna say, just say it?" He said waiting to hear the explanation.
"I....uh....um." She stammered out.
"Hey Locke? Come on, we're gonna get something to eat for tonight, care to join us?!" Edgar shouted across the beach to him. "Yeah!" Locke stood up brushing the sand from his pants. "See you later, Celes." He ran down the sand towards the guys.
'Thanks a lot Edgar.' She grumbled to herself crossing her arms. "I wish that old saying of mine still went....what happened to the soldier that wouldn't dream of becoming some love starved twit?...." She said out loud than finished her thoughts 'Ha, she never dreamed she'd meet him.'
The men were at the other side of the beach tossing out pieces of string attached to food little bits of food or bugs off the ground, which Cyan and Edgar were not about to touch. "Now, I shall show thee the perfect cast." He exampled tossing his home made line out into the water.
The others whistled lowly in awe. "I can do that." Sabin said exampling his awesome skills as well. "Learned that when I was a boy who left home, I did a lot of fishing." He bragged.
Setzer and Locke perfectly executed their lines as well while, Edgar was having some trouble though. "Who throws the line anyway?" He asked pulling the string from his hair and walking it to the water. "You have to do it with patients and instincts...." He placed it down and turned to the others. "You see, all in placement." They shook their heads stifling laughter that the mighty ladies man couldn't fish.
"Fine, fine you laugh now, but, when we're eating fish fit from a king tonight, rather than a tiny kipper from a loud mouth muscle bound, gambling, sword swinging, thief." He said jokingly but they didn't look the least bit offended they even joined in the joke. "I'd say that treasure hunter, is a pretty handsome and interesting guy." Locke said.
"Yeah," Setzer, Sabin, and Cyan agreed.
They had stayed out there catching dinner half the day while the girls had wondered away on the beach to watch the sun set. "Terra...? Can I talk to you?" Celes asked moving a shell around under her foot.
"Sure, Celes, anytime?" When she began Terra cut her off pointing to the guys. "Look at all the fish Edgar's catching!" She ran over to get a closer look and Celes stared at the setting sun one last moment, then, half heartedly, joined them.
"What was that you said about not being and expert?" He said with a huge smile. The others stood back watching with sour faces at their life less lines drifting on the water. Terra laughed as she looked at his haul. "Good job, Edgar..." She congratulated him with a pat on the shoulder. "Thank you mi'lady," he blushed slightly. "Whose hungry?"

They had set up camp in a cave that night because no one would get any sleep on the air ship with Setzer in the engine room fixing it and Edgar fixing his weapons. "What's that smell?" Locke asked scooting closer to the food. "It's fish Locke-..." Terra had said stating the obvious. "I know that Terr', I meant that other smell," He looked down at the pan of fish seeing what he already knew was there. Yup, just as he thought. Mushrooms.
"Eeeuw, Why'd you guys put that on there?" He asked dissatisfied. "Locke Alexander Cole, for heavens sake, it's just a few mushrooms. you can pick them o-..." Terra was cut off by Locke making fake sick noises. They laughed at his display in behavior.
"What am I supposed to eat now?" The thief asked.
"Really Locke it's not that hard to pick them off." Celes said.
"They already tainted it, it's too late." He replied.
"Fine than, yee won't eat with us." Cyan chuckled under his mustache biting into his fish and a very large mushroom.
"Here, you can have mine." Terra said, "I haven't cooked it yet, see?" She held it out to him. "No taint yet."
Locke flashed her a great smile of a thanks and Celes looked annoyed. "Thanks, I mean if you don't mind the wrath of mushrooms, I guess I could take it." He thanked her again and she waved it off.
"I'm gonna get the others." Celes said standing and leaving the cave, but, no one noticed. She walked onto the ship and into the engine room. "Guys, dinner is ready if you're hungry and don't like cold food."
"Thanks, Celes. We'll be right there." Edgar was saying as they stood from the sound of her voice, they began to wipe their hands on an old rag that was in a bucket of water they got from the ocean.
"Can I ask you something?" She said nervously. They looked at her to show her that she had their attention. "You like me right?" She finally said after a long pause.
"Sure," they said instantly. "You're like one of the guys," Setzer said.
"You're fun." Edgar replied with a shrug.
"One of the guys, thanks...uh, lets get going don't want our share gone." She smiled sweetly and turned away then looked back at them. "And, thank you." They smiled a response and joined her on the way out to the cave.
"What hit me?" Locke said rubbing his head groaning.
"I don't understand what could have happened?" Setzer was saying to himself looking at his fully broken watch. "I'll tell you what happened," Sabin was saying getting to his feet. "you're an idiot!"
