Usagi suppressed a burp as she lay down in the boat. "Now that was a good meal..."
Ami looked at her sternly. "Usagi... you should have saved some for later..."
"So? I did so, right?" The blonde girl took an apple out of her pocket. "Here, that's for later..."
Luna was searching the horizon. "We've been drifting off very far... Usagi, you think you can push us back to the shore like you pushed us to that pirate ship?"
But the only thing she got as a response was soft snoring.
"USAGI!"
"Just leave her alone," Ami said and yawned. "It really has been a long day... and I must say, I'm a little tired as well... I think I'm going to take a little nap too."
"Here? Out in the ocean? You can't be serious..."
But then something happened that forced them to focus on something else than on naps.
All of a sudden, it was getting much darker, and big clouds were covering the sky. A low rumbling woke Ami up.
"Wha... what's that?"
Strong gusts of wind created big waves which carried the small boat up and down. Luna covered down at the floor of the boat. "It's a storm! Ami, take the rudder!"
Ami did her best to steer the small vessel back the way they came, but the winds were just too strong... they carried them further and further away from the Gaulic continent.
And then, the thunder began crackling.
"If this keeps up," Ami shouted. "We will being swept to the edge of the world where we will fall off..."
"I'm hungry again... Ami, would you like an apple?"
----
Much later in the evening, the storm has calmed down. By now, the sun has already set, so it was almost pitch-black.
"It's no use," Ami sighed. "We have to wait for some wind which can take us back to Gaul."
"Let's hope tomorrow we'll have more luck," Luna said.
Usagi scooped the black cat up with her arms and clutched her to her chest. "Luna... I'm sorry about being such a glutton. If I hadn't swum to the pirate ship, we could easily be back home by now... and we would see Minako again... and Makoto... and Rei... but now we're lost and can never return back home! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"
"Now, now..." Luna tried to calm down the crying menhir delivery girl. "It's all right, Usagi! We all make some mistakes now and then... and while you're a clumsy little klutz sometimes... you're also a sweet girl... and my friend!"
Usagi sniffed. "Luna..."
Ami had to smile as she imagined the scene in front of her, which she sadly couldn't watch because of the darkness. "Let's go to sleep, okay? Tomorrow, we will try to find a way back home."
"Okay!" Usagi replied. "G'night, Ami! Night, Luna..."
"Goodnight, Usagi..."
----
Somewhere else on the ocean, hidden within the darkness of the night, a gruff male voice suddenly gasped.
"By the gods! What was that infernal yell? Just where did you lead us to, Kagome?"
"Calm down," a female voice answered. "Perhaps those are some sort of sirens who want to mislead us with their demonic voices. Just put some wax in your ears and all will be fine."
"I hope you're right..."
Silence.
"We'll never get out of here alive, Kagome... Kagome...? KAGOME!!"
"Huh, what?"
"Ah! I almost thought you were gone..."
"PUT SOME WAX IN YOUR EARS AND SHUT UP!"
