"Heh, well i'll see if i can wear you down over the trip!"

They were interupted as the navigation computer chirped.

Entering Calamari Gravitational Pull. Coming out of hyperspace.

Lupercus smiled and winked at Jai before ploping himself into the pilots seat. Taking control, he begun to guide the ship down to the surface of the water planet.

Jai couldn't take Lup's driving skills and sat down in the gunner's seat so she wouldn't see them crash from head-on.

"Please don't kill us or get us stranded...I don't want tomorrow's headlines with my funeral arrangements on there."

Jai saw the water nearing and shut her eyes tightly...When the ship hit some turbulance, Jai lept and latched onto Lup's arm. She hated being a passanger, it made her fear of heights come out...and being over extremely deep water didn't help much either.

"Ooooooo.....we're gonna die! Oh Minions of Xendor, we're gonna die..."

(OOC:My post got @#%$ on, and it was really long, so i've redone it in a shittier version.)

The craft hit the water at a 45 degree angle and travelled 50metres before it popped back to the surface. With a smile to Jaina, Lupercus left the cockpit and walked up to the spiral staircase near the right hand door to the bedroom, emerging on the viewing deck. Walking to the middle of the room, Lupercus reached up to the roof and, pressing a few buttons, a small ladder dropped from the roof. The top half of the roof rose up and folded into itself, forming a slight half shell out of the ship, facing the stern. Climbing the ladder, Lupercus emerged on the top of the ship, not a single person or thing in site.

Jai followed Lupercus, still trembling. She hated his piloting skills!

"One day your might actually land correctly, Darling. It'll be a big load-off my nerves when you come around, that's for..."

Jai trailed off when she was clear of the ladder and atop the ship. She looked to the left, then the right, and then behind her...and then she turned all the way around, slowly, straining her eyes in the bright, balmy sunlight.

"Nothing. There's nothing here."

It was true. Jai had excellent eyesight when it came to long distance viewing, and she couldn't see a thing. Not one speck of anything on the horizon...

"Are we stranded? Or did you land...no no, crash... in the middle of nowhere on purpose?"

Lupercus grinned cheekily, reaching for a nearby button. With a chuckle the top of the roof up to the point where the ships enterence was. Out of it sprung a massive mast, followed quickly by the unfurling of a sail. Out of the ground near Lupercus popped what appeared to be a large metal steering wheel.

"We sail for land.

And the landing was perfect!"

Jai gave him a skeptical look, "You sure this...'ship'...can make it?'

She was always cutting down his cooler-than-thou-because-I-art-a-Hapan-badass attitude. One, it kept things on a light note, and two....she just loved picking on him.

Jai was truely impressed, despite her ribbing remarks. A ship that could go from space travel to sailboat was quite a marvel.

He smirked and nodded 'up' to Jai as wind inflated the sail, the yacht begining to move. The ship began to list slightly to one side so Lupercus eased the sail looser.

"I think so! Its not too bad huh?"

He smiled watching the sun bath Jai in golden light.

"You're gonna have to receive some training before i let you be my crew!"

"I don't doubt that. I've never really been in such...an immense body of water. You'll have to teach me what to do."

Jai closed her eyes as a strong breeze came off the water and rushed over her. Her blondish brown locks of hair danced in the wind and her clothes rippled around her body. It was brand new feeling, for Jai had never sailed like this before. A few lake trips on a little ship, a short joyride in a paddle boat...and that was about it. This, however, was something majorly different. It was....refreshing.

"Not bad....not bad, at all."

She leaned against the wind and it held her up slightly. She'd never felt wind like that....strong, steady, and yet balmy and soothing at the same time...

Lupercus smiled, watching as Jai stretched out and relaxed, bathing in the warm summer breeze. The air had a slightly salty taste, and the waves were crashing gently against the ships hull.

With a grin Lupercus called Jai over and began instructing her on how to man the sails, deal with the boom and how to manage the winds. This continued for an hour until suddenly Lupercus spotted something in the distance.

"Land, looks like an island.

Wanna go?"

Jai was, at current, struggling with the boom and nervously watching the sails out of the corner of her eye.

"Uh...sure. But how about you steer? I'll go get changed, 'cause these clothes are way too warm for the weather."
