Disclaimer-I own nothing. Absolutely nothing...except my new keyboard. THANK YOU SANTA!
Dedication-To all true-hearted pirates out there!
"Wha-HOO!" shouted Paris, throwing her fists into the air. She was standing at the prow of the crusie ship and crowing into the wind. Her twin sister, Madrid, stood behind her, rubbing her eyes.
"Isn't this great!?" shouted Paris, throwing open her arms to embrace the sea air. "A Christmas cruise to the Caribbean! Best present ever!"
"I only wish we didn't have to board at 6:00 this morning." said Madrid, stifling a yawn. They both had red-brown hair, green eyes, and were short in stature. That's where the similarites ended. Paris was the more dare-devil of the two, while Madrid was logical and meticulous.
"You'd sleep all day if you could." snapped Paris, starting down the stairs to the main deck. "I'm going to check out the Arcade and pool. Hopefully you will join me." Madrid shrugged, and followed.
"Better than being with our whining brothers. They don't like getting up either." Paris snorted, then stopped by the pool-side bar.
"I'd like two virgin strawberry daiquiris, to be charged to room 124." The bartender nodded, and while he made them, Paris and Madrid checked out the pool. A Olympic sized beauty, with a deep end, diving boards, two different slides, and a small water park for the children.
"Nice..." said Paris, grabbing the drinks and handing one to her sister. "Might want to come down later. I got a new bikini I'm dying to try."
"Mmmm...I want to crack into my newest book later today." said Madrid, sipping at the strawberry concoction. They walked down a hallway, and Madrid peeped into an open door. A vast library hit her eyes. She stopped, staring at all of the books.
"Hello! Welcome to the on-board library!" said an over-cheerful blonde, smiling widely. "Please. Come in. Look around." Madrid stepped inside, her sister far down the hallway. Comfy chairs littered the interior of the room, shelves upon shelves stretching out.
I guess there is something for everyone on this ship...
Later that evening...
"...And they've got everything! It's almost like a Barnes'n'Noble! They even have some books that I've never been able to find!" said Madrid to her mother and father that night in one of the many resturants. They were eating lobster, with broiled new potatoes and a Greek salad. Paris was enjoying it enormously.
"That's very nice, Madrid dear." said her mother, half-paying attention. "Now, your father and I have a date tonight and you kids will have to occupy yourselves."
Their father got out his wallet. The kid brothers high-fived. "Ok, you each get to cahrge a hundred to each of your cards. Don't spend it all in one place." teased their father, as the boys raced off, shedding their dinner jackets as they went.
"Sweet." said Paris, pulling out hers. "What you wanna do?"
"I'm going to go curl up with a good book." said Madrid, standing up. She started heading off to the library.
"Oh, man, you're kidding!" shouted Pairs, running to catch up with her. "With all the hot boys on this boat, you should at least come with me to the pool!"
"At night?" Madrid asked, giving Paris a drop-dead look.
"Yes...diving at night is the bomb! Com'n...come with me! I need you! And you need a guy."
"Will you shut up about that?" snapped Madrid, starting to climb some stairs. "Just...leave me alone about that!!"
"Oh...still touchy about...oh what was his name? J-"
"You say his name. And. I. Will. Kill. You." snarled Madrid whirling to face her twin. Paris noticed the evil spark in her sibling's eyes.
"O-Kay...I will go to the pool by myself. See you later." She made herself scarce.
Much Later...
Paris finally stumbled into the cabin at about 11:30 that night. Madrid looked up scathingly from her bed.
"Fun night?" she asked, returning to her book, How NOT To Spend Your Senior Year.
"Yes." said Paris, collasping on her bed, towel dropping off her fingers and falling to the floor. "Totally hot, yet totally sweet dude. He's on Christmas break and his folks dragged him aboard. He's a surfer, and on the National Honors Society."
"So he's at least a junior." said Madrid, not looking up.
"Hey, we are too."
"Shut up. Get some sleep. We're stopping on an island tomorrow. It's really cute."
"Hope I can get some trinkets. Hey why'd you turn the light out?!"
"Because I want to go to sleep."
"I'm still in my bikini, dam-!"
"Shut up."
Okay...I know the first chappie is totally lame. But it will get better! I promise!
