"I plan to pay more attention the next time that we go. I am not letting you or myself get hurt and I know that the world can be scary but it is no reason that we can not have fun at the same time." He was being more truthful about what he seen around the island and his experiences. "I think it'll be fun, I don't know what it is but we just seem to click and work well together you know?"

Alice knew the world could be scary even with growing up in a very different way to others. She also did a dangerous job which might mean her life would burn bright but would be short compared to others. Or maybe she'd die grey haired and with a couple of cats round her. You simply couldn't tell. "I know its a scary world. I see that every day but while we're here there's more hope that I knew before. We do work well together and hopefully for the years in front of us. The isle will need people like us once it's a nation" she replied with a smile. Xander would have experienced more here than she had but she was learning fast. "Somethings seem the same though compared with what I knew in Florida. Especially crime" she added. Which led to plenty of questions like where did criminals get their guns from? Xander Dayspring

He agreed honestly with everything. Even with the seemingly getting higher crime rate it was not like you could stop being yourself. "Yeah I suppose the world as a whole is the same in a lot of ways even if a lot of those ways are hard for us to see." He knew he could be blind to it sometimes without meaning to be. "At least the good days and the good parties will always exist." Alice Seraphim

Alice could also see that things hadn't gotten any better since 1993 triggered the problems that oddities faced now. She did wonder how the oddity children there were now would deal with it or if they had a future but the fight would need to be won by this generation first. So a nation was an essential step in that. She shrugged her shoulders before she spoke again. "Even if the world had never found out about us I doubt things would have been much different. The world knowing about us just gave them what they think is a common enemy and since they treated us like monsters our kind fought back. It was either that or being wiped out. A theme that has happened all the way through their own history. So we are damned if we and damned if we don't. So we need to find fun when we can". So as much as she would want peace and co-existence she couldn't see it happening anytime soon. It would take a major change of mind from humanity as a whole. Xander Dayspring

"Alice," he said as he took a second. "I agree with you but we are not going to ruin this great day." Hell no, he did not need that and she did not either. The last thing he wanted was to have a proverbial black cloud hovering over them. "Making me sad there for a second with that little slap of reality," he said as he laughed. He knew that you would never be able to truly escape it at all but still. "Man, now I am going to need sugar to get through, good thing I brought cookies," he said as he sighed. "Don't worry I'll make a zombie for you if that time ever comes and you need it." Alice Seraphim

Alice heard what Xander had to say and gave him a hug. "A zombie isn't a normal gift but you are looking out for me" she chuckled back. They both knew the realities of their world and just by doing their jobs they could make it a slightly better place. "Oh cookies sound good and I'll try and be good and playful for you as well" she added as this little lunch continued and Alice being playful. By now the penguins were back and round the boat. Perhaps they were curious creatures. Xander Dayspring

He knew at times he was or he would go from one extreme to another rather but he also felt like that was good. Today was such a good and relaxing day and the weather seemed perfect. "Wait," he said. "You mean you know how to be playful?" For some reason he found that funny but refreshing. "That's interesting actually," he said as he turned his attention to the penguins. "I think one of them is fliting with me, how awkward." Alice Seraphim

Alice chuckled hearing what Xander had to say and was about to say something when he spoke again. "Off course I know how to do that. Life isn't all about work" she replied. She was still having tennis lessons and spending time with friends. More friends would always be good too but she was being kept quite busy with what was going on in the isle. "Oh I wonder if you can bring one home as a pet? It might be strange walking a penguin but I have seen pot bellied pigs being kept as pets before" she mused with a little smile on her face. She'd even heard of alligators being kept as pets too but you had to really know what you were doing to keep those. Xander Dayspring

"That is true but we still have to have a good balance in the end," he said. Speaking of he needed to check in on his job because as fun as it was he knew that he could not live off the land all alone plus if he did he would get bored. "A pet?" he said as he shook his head. "I mean weirder animals have been kept as pets but for me I am going to leave them there," he said as he stood up. "Alright enough sitting around, time to explore a bit more. You can come or you can stay here and be kept company with the cute penguins." Alice Seraphim

"Then I guess I'll be helping you pick out a cute pot bellied pig" Alice lightly teased. The smile showed she wasn't being serious about this and then another choice was offered to her. Exploration sounded like more fun though the penguins were certainly relaxing to be around. "Then lets see what we can find" she mused with a cookie in her right hand. She carefully stood up trying not to rock the boat and took off again but staying close to the boat. Xander Dayspring

He had never explored so he was not going to take them into anywhere, where they might get lost for that would ruin the days adventure as he watched her. "I almost want a pig now. I mean I do not think that they are viscious and plus it might make me more approachable," he said as he laughed. He did not think that he was not approachable but the look on his face would say otherwise a lot. "Maybe we will find something cool, like sunken treasure," he said as he laughed it off. He did not know how that would make him feel but looking around was always nice. Alice Seraphim

"Well if you still want a pig later on let me know" she chuckled before eating the cookie. "So we're going underwater?" she posed taking control of the boat and pulling it with her as she flew at boat level. This would get them to deeper water faster but she couldn't recall any plotted shipwrecks on the island; hell it didn't matter in the end as the fun was found in finding things. Xander Dayspring

"Yes. I mean you can stay above the water if you want to but I am going under water." No way would he come out here and not go under water and see what might lay below. "I got equipment so that we will be ready. Also just as a general rule, the oxygen tank is good for an hour but I will probably time it and check back up above water after about thirty minutes."

You could swim under the waves and still not see much but going deeper with the aid of a tank would show them a lot more. Given Alice knew just how weird things could get here she wasn't going to let Xander out of her sight. Penguins were strange enough to find on a tropical island so they were bound too find something weird and wonderful; perhaps even a mermaid? "Thirty minutes sound good to me. If we check each others equipment she should be fine" she replied which confirmed she was joining him deep in the sea. So given they were far enough out Alice still fluttering in the air weighed anchor on the little boat so it couldn't get away. Then landed on the boat so they could get ready. Xander Dayspring

He nodded. "Sounds good." As far as treasure, Xander was on the fence. He supposed that it could be haunted though that was not going to scare him off for he was too excited for this. They deserved to have fun so he started getting ready though he remained humble and stepped far enough away so Alice could have her space. Women's rights and all of that had him by surprise but it was also good as he finally fitted himself into his wetsuit and checked the tanks that they would be using as he slightly peered down into the water. It seemed normal enough thankfully as he moved one of the oxygen tanks over her way and then spoke. "Test it first to make sure it's working," he said as he covered his face to test his own and gave her a thumbs up. Alice Seraphim
