Fishing

Joshua had finally gotten a chance to think by himself on the docks. His body was tired and worn out from the multiple mutant scares and wanted to relaz by himself. Timesa were hard and even harder if you were just a human. He brought along his fishing pole and dropped it into the cool waters. joshuaa let out a small sigh and began to look out. He loved Zibyl but wished it wasn't so chaotic

Joshua looked out at the water and kept an eye on the fishing line. Suddenly he saw a shadow. It was the shadow of a girl. His eyes widened a bit and he stood up. But the shadow sudenly disappear. He naturally panicked and began to think about what it was. Then he came to the conclusion that a girl was in the water, but drownign and sinking to her doom. He ripped the line out of the water and put the pole on the ground. He tossed his shoes and his shirt off and in one fell leap ghe went into the water and began to dive into the it looking for the girl.

Joshua dove as deep as he could into thr water until he felt the crushing feeling of pressure from going to deep and his shortness of breath. Joshua rose to the surface, treadding a bit faster, his head looking around. "Little Girl?!?!" he called out , diving back into the water. He was determined to find the little girl and save her from her supposed 'doom'

After so much diving Joshua's lungs started to tighten and constrict, not liking the lack ofair. He rose to the surface, gasping for air. He slowly went back to where his stuff was and sat down, incidently bnext to Chibi. He panted a little bitm trying to get his lungs full of the oxygen that he needed. "Where....did....she....go" he said slowly

Joshua heard the sound of a little girl in her head. She sounded like a child, about the size of the girl he was looking for. Instead of saying aloud he tried to talk to the voice through thought. "There was a girl in the water. I saw her splashing and then she was gone. I thought she drowned but I can't find her body." he explained to the forign voice.

She was dead? Joshua was busy killing himself for someone that was already dead. He felt like an idiot. "Oh... I'm sorry" he said. there wasn't anything he knew to say to someone that was already dead. Did she just die or did it occur recently? He wasn't sure of what to say...or think in this instance.

Joshua nodded his head. "It's alright hun, you saved me a whole lot of breath from diving back down again" he said and let out a small chuckle from his lips as he went for his fishing pole again, tossing the line back into the water. "So what brings you over to these parts of Zibyl little girl? "

Joshua shrugged a bit. "Well thats alright miss. Can I know you're name though? My name is Joshua!" he told her. The firey headed male was glad to meet someone else, be it mutant or not. She sounded like a sweet girl

Joshua nodded his head a little bit. "Then Chibi it is!" he told her when he suddenly felt a tug on his pole. He got a bit from a fish, and from the way it felt, it was a pretty big fish too. With a little extra effort he kept pulling hardr and harder on it until one final splash and the fish emerged from the water. It was a large salmon and with a little more reeling and tugging, Josh had secured the fish and put it in the bucket by him. He was sure Marco would be happy about his latest catch

Joshua was a bit confused at the question as he cast the line off into the water again. Did she not go fishing when she was little... well little and alive? He found it rather peculiar. His life was based around the ocean and fishing. His dad took him and his brothers out fishing as much as possible. They would miss school for fishing trips because his dad wanted them to love the sea. "Well I'm fishing. Haven't you gone fishing before?" he asked.

Joshua was utterly surprised. "Well then I'll show you. Fishiing is simple and before the earthquake came me and my family thrived off. Even now its what my brother and I thrive off of" the firey headed male explained to the girl happily. "Basically I'm catching fish. On the end of the fishing line or string theres a hook with bait on it, usually worms or fake bait. When the fish bite it it pulls on the line and I reel the fish in, catching them. " he explained as simply as possible.

He was still trying to overcome the fact that she never heard of fishing. How could you not hear of it? It was the single greatest thing ever to him. The girl was truly something else

"Why? Why? You really are somethign else Chibi.... why.... fishing is the greatest thing ever. You get multitudes of viamins and nutrients and its rewarding too. Sometimes it takes a lot of patience to sit and hope you get a bite but once you reel the sucker in you get a sense of acomplishment!'' he explained to the little girl. He was trying t piece together why she didn't understand the joys of fishing

Joshua felt another tug on the pole. Today was a good day for harvesting fish. He tugged and reeled in. This time a small tuna. But a fish all the same. He put the fish in the bucket and saw it was basically full. "Hey Chibi want to come with me to my boat home? I need to bring these fish to the home or the fish'll go bad" he told her
