Summary
He stops swimming to float on top of the water, feeling the artificial wind and sun on his face. He didn't realise how much he missed mundane things like just enjoying sunlight hitting his skin or wind blowing on his face. When he'd ride his bike to Grover Cleveland Middle after his stop at the diner he would always enjoy just feeling the wind hitting him, especially right before summer break where the air would be warmer and he could smell all the flowers that had finally finished growing. He wishes that Erid had plant life like Earth did, it would be interesting to see how they looked or how they smelled. Though, Eridians don't have a sense of smell so maybe the plants wouldn't develop a scent at all.
He's so lost in his thoughts that hearing a sudden screech scares him enough that he starts flailing around in the water, water getting into his mouth and up his nose. "Grace ♪♫, question. Danger danger danger!"
Or, Grace decides to finally take advantage of his beach but Rocky didn't know humans can swim, or float.

Alarms and Paralysis by fogged_zephyr

Summary
Before I even begin to relax after learning that I am not currently dying a loud alarm begins to sound and the lights in the room start to flicker on and off. The sudden sound of the alarm is ear-splitting after the complete silence I just had and I let out a garbled noise of pain, not able to make much else noise. I fight to move again, wanting to sit up, wanting to run up to the control room and see what is going on, but my body still refuses to move. All I get is a twitch of my finger. The weight on my chest feels heavier with each second and it feels like I'm wheezing with every breath. What is going on? Are we going to die just because I can't move and Mary decided now was the perfect time to have a problem?
Or, Grace gets sleep paralysis and worries that something is seriously wrong.

Summary
It's silent, more silent than Grace would expect since he was certain Rocky would begin freaking out at the sight of him. He carefully moves onto his side so that he can look into Rocky's side of the ship, trying to ignore how his head repeatedly jerks up. Rocky is deathly still on his side of the ship, his carapace lowered a bit towards the ground. "Why… Why Grace do that, question? Grace hurt, question?" Rocky asks, his voice high in a way that it usually is when he's panicking.
Or, Grace pulls a muscle and his tic disorder acts up in response.
