[The video starts with a rapid, bouncing motion of the sky as if the book had just been dropped and landed on it's spine before falling open. It's quickly followed by a long yell and a LOUD splash! The image bobs up and down a moment before slowly the book starts to slide and tip over. Water starts to creep up and take over the screen as there's another splash and the sound of a man taking a LARGE breath of air.]

AHHH! Oh man, I think I saw a bright light that time! Or maybe that was the su-[Glub! Opps! No time to try to relax just yet. Luckily there's another gasp shortly after that.] GAAHH! This swimming thing is hard- [Opps, there went the journal. There's a muffled yell before the book is yanked up and out of the water.]

Oh man... it's soaked. [At last there is a view of a rather wet Vash, staring into the journal as he clutches onto a small piece of drift wood. That's a LOT of water behind him.]

Uh... is this thing still working? Ahahaha... heeeey there guys. No need to worry! But I uh, won't be home tonight. Or... uh... maybe a week. [He glances up. A big revealed grin shows up on his face.] Oh good! I can see the mountains from here! Now I know which wa- [Whoops, he got a little too excited, the book joins him back under water as he flips over his little piece of wood. It takes only a few moments for him to surface again.]

Aiaiaiiaiai... man that's cold and was that... salt? I'll just be home as fast as I can, okay?

Ahahaha, I'm okay! Fine. Just fiiiiiiiiiine.

If you're sure. Please, breathe slowly awhile and try to calm down.

Breathe slowly, right, got it, slo-

WHY ARE THE MOUNTAINS STARTING TO GET SMALLER?!

[She should probably feel very bad for this first thought:]

Could it be you're moving further away from them?

OH CRAP!

Could it be... I was right about that?

I thought waves moved TOWARDS land!

Waves? I suppose It would depend on the tide. [If she thinks of waves gradually washing back out to shore, or gradually making greater or lesser headway into land when they break.]

...tide?

[An internal sigh. Ami doesn't, she realizes with a twinge of guilt, have the patience.

Ah! But she can still help.]

How about I come to find you, if you need help finding the way?

Well, I think I just need to get to shore and then I'd be alright. [Somehow...]

Are your friends coming to help, too?

Yeah, they know I'm out here. [How much help they'll be? That's yet to be seen.]

Do you need anything else right now, too?

I could sure go for some donuts.

There might be some at the bakery...

But I can't get to the bakery from here!

If your friends are coming, they can bring you there.

Vash... could it be you don't remember where things are here now?

Why do you say that?

It's just...

[It's just that despite the obvious bad situation, she'd like to think he could navigate back. It's going to take awhile like this, though, as he'd said. What should she do? His friends are coming, but she's not sure they have a better chance than her.]

It's nothing. I'll come to you and bring you back.

[It's the water; she's tracked enemies through it before, she can certainly find him. And she'll have no trouble crossing it.]

[And so you don't have to waste a few days having Ami going over the mountains and through the beach to save Vash's butt she goes~~!]

HEY! I found a mermaid! Or well... she found me!
