Perhaps a cruise to all the major islands in the world will make that happen, the group is going to make sure, this is going to be the best summer before they hit college!
OOoO*Normal POV*OoOo
The group was in their dorms packing up for what was going to be the best summer, at least, the third best summer in their lives.
After the graduation ceremony was over, Ulrich had surprised his group of friends a vacation on a cruise trip to all the major islands in the world! The group couldn't be any happier than, on the fresh, crisp, clear blue waters. And to be on a boat this is at least four football fields long, it eighteen levels, and it was and endless fun ship!
"Can you believe this" Odd shouted as he quickly pulled out his "vacation" suitcase. "We are going on a cruise, and to all the popular islands of the world!"
Trinity giggled and sat on her boyfriend's dorm bed "I know it's amazing, and it's going to be endless fun" Trinity pulled out her ticket and looked at it "And it is the biggest ship in the world to, by the looks of it"
Odd grinned as he was still throwing clothes in his suitcase "That makes things even better!"
"When are your parents going to pick up your clothes" Trinity asked looking around Odd side of the room, which was still packed with other packed suitcases. Then she looked of what used to be Ulrich's side of the room, it was empty.
"His parents must have come here and packed his stuff up before the ceremony" Odd pointed "My parents are always fashionably late to everything, and they never have time to do this"
"Well, why don't you call them and tell them to pick your stuff up?" Trinity empathized
"I'll text them!" Odd quickly pulled out his phone and texted his parents, asking them to pick up his other clothes from his room. "Done" Odd smiled and put his phone back in his pocket.
Trinity rolled her eyes playfully and went back to looking at more information on the ticket, but she was mainly looking at the picture "What do you think is on a ship?"
Odd glanced at his girlfriend "I have no clue, but I bet it is more stuff on a ship like that, then anything in Paris, besides the Eiffel Tower of course."
Trinity shrugged "I bet they have buffets"
"Oh, that would be a dream on mine, swimming in endless supply of food, just stuffing myself with all the possible food lying on the buffet bar!" Odd had started to daydream about him eating an endless supply of food.
"Alright Odd, just pack up already!" Trinity laughed at her boyfriend stupidity.
Odd smiled and packed the remained of his things "Did your parents take your clothes already?"
"They left my summer clothes, I guess the figured that I was going on some sort of vacation before college." Trinity answered "Are you done?"
Odd nodded his head and picked up his suitcase "Yup, ready to go!"
OoOo*Meanwhile…*OoOo
"This is going to be great Jeremy!" Aelita twirled around his her dorm room.
Jeremy smiled at his girlfriend "I know, Ulrich parents really went all out on this one, didn't they?"
"They did! I mean they spent so much on us, it's unbelievable" Aelita grinned "Yumi is lucky; when she has her wedding with Ulrich, just imagine what that is going to be like!"
Jeremy chuckled "Just saying that around them will make their faces look like tomatoes."
Aelita smiled "I don't know why though, they should know goodness well, they are going to get married after college, and I can just feel it!"
"I think everybody can" Jeremy smiled, pulling out Aelita suitcase
"Thanks" Aelita said pulling out what was the remained of clothes left in her wardrobe, and packing them in her suitcase, folding each shirt, tank top, swimsuit, sandals, shorts, and more vacation things!
"Hey, don't forget we have to buy plenty of sunscreen too!" Jeremy pointed out "Unless we will look like tomatoes, and it will hurt no matter what move we make!"
Aelita nodded her head in agreement "Oh yes, definitely!"
"Let see, I think I have everything accounted for." Aelita smiled and closed her suitcase. "Ready to go pack your stuff up" Aelita looked at Jeremy.
"Yeah, but I think you might have forgot one thing" Jeremy walked towards Aelita.
"Oh geese, what did I forget?" Aelita started looking around her empty dorm room.
Jeremy smiled and placed a delegate kiss on Aelita lips, Aelita smiled under the kiss, and began to kiss back. After five seconds the couple pulled away from their lingering kiss.
OoOo*Meanwhile….*OoOo
"I can't believe this is happening" Yumi smiled and walked into her dorm room, with Ulrich following behind her. When they walked in Ulrich closed the door behind him, and sat on Yumi's bed.
"Well, believe it, and it is going to happen as soon as all you guys are done packing" Ulrich smiled
Yumi returned the smile "What do you mean by 'you guys' did you already pack?"
Ulrich nodded his head "My parents already had all my vacation stuff ready when they told me about the trip"
"Oh, you can't pack your own stuff anymore." Yumi teased
Ulrich rolled his eyes playfully "You don't have to go, if all you are going to do is tease me."
"I love you Ulrich." Yumi quickly changed the subject.
Ulrich laughed "I thought you would say that, love you to Yumes"
"Hey can you get that suitcase up there?" Yumi pointed to the top of her tall wardrobe.
"Yeah sure" Ulrich got up from Yumi's bed, reach up on the wardrobe, pulled down Yumi's suitcase; then handing it to her.
"Thanks." Yumi smiled up at your boyfriend.
"You're very welcome." Ulrich returned the smile.
Yumi threw the suitcase on her bed and opened it, too find that her clothes were already packed, Ulrich came behind her and saw what she was looking at.
"Oh, you can't pack your own stuff anymore" Ulrich mocked
Yumi glared at him and smiled "Shut up, Okay!"
Ulrich laughed "Well, I guess you're all packed up, we can go right along then."
"How are we getting there by the way?" Yumi asked
"We have to drive" Ulrich admitted
"Drive!" Yumi exclaimed "And where do we exactly have to go?"
"Uh, the ship is leaving from Normandy." Ulrich answered
"And how long of a drive is that?" Yumi asked another question
"About, three to five hours….maybe." Ulrich replied
"Five hours, and who's doing all the driving" Yumi asked walking out of her room, allowing Ulrich to walk in front of her.
"I'll do it." Ulrich offered
"You're going to drive the whole entire way?" Yumi asked
"How many questions are you going to ask Yumes?" Ulrich chuckled
"Until I get answers the answers I need." Yumi smirked "Now, answer my question please."
"Uh…yes I will." Ulrich put his arm around Yumi's shoulder.
"Fine, but if you ever want to switch up drivers, I will volunteer to drive." Yumi insisted
"Alright, let's go catch up with the others and get ready to go." Ulrich said, as he walked with Yumi out the building.
OoOo*Normal POV*OoOo
The gang met outside the gates of Kadic Academy, the last time they will ever step foot on the high school campus.
"So, how are we getting to where we need to go?" Odd asked, looking at his cruise ticket.
"We have to drive there." Ulrich answered
"Oh wow, and who is driving there?" Jeremy asked
"I'll drive there." Ulrich said.
"Oh no….why you?" Odd joke
"It's better than you driving." Ulrich defended
"Anyway guys, can we get ready to go, I'm ready to have a good time!" Trinity complained
The group walked to the truck than seats six people comfortably, the each sat in the seats with Ulrich and Yumi in the front, Odd and Trinity in the middle, and Jeremy and Aelita in the back. After everybody packed up their belongings in the trunk, they hopped in the car, and began to head towards the edge of Normandy.
"How long does it take to get there again?" Odd asked.
"Um….about five hours or something." Ulrich answered.
"Oh great, can we get something to eat then?" Odd asked as the just entered the highway.
"Gosh, Odd I just got on the road." Ulrich remarked
"Well, I'm hungry, and we have a long drive ahead of us" Odd complained
"You're like a child in the backseat, just hush" Ulrich said while keeping his eyes on the road.
Trinity rolled her eyes and looked in one of her bags, and pulled out a big bag of chips and threw them at Odd. "We are not stopping unless we need gas, alright Odd. I brought plenty of snacks for all of us so we can lessen of number of stops."
Odd opened the bag of chips and started to munch on them "Thanks"
"Hey guys, you want to play a game." Aelita asked "Just to make the time go a little faster."
"Sure." Everybody agreed.
"Alright, how about a game called, I Spy"
"Sure" Jeremy agreed
"Oh, I used to love that game" Trinity smiled
"Alright, let's play, who's going to start?" Yumi asked
"How about we start in the front, and then our way back." Aelita said "So Ulrich you go first."
"Okay, umm….I spy something" Ulrich looked outside for anything he knew his friends would not even think about asking, he then thought of something very hard, he figured he friends would never guess that he spied the gas pedal. "Something black"
"Um, the street" Yumi asked
"Nope"
"The night sky" Odd asked
"No"
"The seats" Trinity asked
"No"
"Yumi's hair" Jeremy asked
"Nope"
"The dashboard"
"Nope" Ulrich smirked, he was enjoying this.
"Okay, um is it something outside?" Yumi asked
Ulrich nodded his head "Nope"
"So it's inside the truck" Yumi asked
"Yep"
"Oh, finally a yes!" Odd exclaimed
Ulrich chuckled "Keep guessing guys"
"Umm, the gear shift" Yumi asked
"Nope"
"The truck color" Trinity asked
"Nope"
"The steering wheel" Odd asked
"Nope"
"The buttons to turn the radio" Aelita guessed
"Nope"
"The roof of the truck" Jeremy asked
"Nope"
"Uh, just tell us already!" Odd complained
"Alright you guys want to know" Ulrich asked his friends
"Yes" They all agreed
"It's the gas pedal" Ulrich laughed
"What, the gas pedal, all this time, and it was a gas pedal" Trinity said
"That was very smart" Jeremy complimented
"Thanks" Ulrich responded
After two hours passed the group was still on the road, Ulrich just stopped for gas because the truck had the gas icon on, after Ulrich filled the truck with gas he got back in the driver seat, he noticed that Odd, Trinity, Aelita, and Jeremy were all asleep in the back, and that Yumi was just patiently looking out the window.
"You're not tired" Ulrich asked
"Nope, not really, I'm just filled with excitement right now" Yumi turned her attention to her boyfriend.
Ulrich smiled, as he rubbed his eyes, and yawned.
"But, I see that you are tired" Yumi ran her fingers through Ulrich's hair.
"Yeah, just a little bit" Ulrich said starting up the truck.
"Let me drive then, you aren't supposed to be tired and drive, you might fall asleep"
Ulrich yawned again "If you want to drive sure"
Yumi nodded her head and got out from the passenger seat, as Ulrich got out from the driver seat, the switched places and Yumi began to pull off from the gas station. She glanced and Ulrich, he was slowly drifting off to sleep.
Yumi smiled to herself, and began to drive down the highway.
Three hours seemed to go by quickly, and the gang just pulled up to where the cruise will be leaving, Yumi parked the car in the parking lot that was now full of cars.
"Alright guys wake up!" Yumi said as she got out the car
"Oh! Look at this ship guys" Trinity quickly woke up and got out the car.
"Whoa this thing is freakin' huge!" Odd also got out the car.
"We are going to have so much fun, I can just tell" Aelita smiled as she was getting out the car, along with Jeremy who was behind her.
The group got their bags from the car, went through the metal detector scanners, got their bags checked, got their tickets scanned, got their boarding picture taken with each other, and started walking up the 'Bridge of Dreams' to the cruise ship.
"Oh my gosh can you believe this!" Trinity grinned as they were walking up to the ship.
"No, I definitely can't believe this is happening" Aelita, who was also grinning smiled.
"The rest of the group still shocked and amazed happy faces as they were walking up to cruise ship, once the entered the cruise, the first thing they saw was that the entrance as filled with chandleries, designer furniture, and a stairwell that goes up on two sides, along with many hallways leading to different areas.
"This…." Aelita started
"Is…." Trinity said
"Amazing" Yumi finished
"Wow, it's like a five star hotel" Odd said
"Living the luxury life" Jeremy said
Ulrich smiled "Come on guys, let's go find our rooms so we can go hang out and explore this place"
"Hey, why did they take our bags back their" Odd asked
"Because the deliver it to our rooms" Ulrich answered
"Wow, that's so awesome" Odd grinned
The group had got lost trying to find their rooms, but when they finally hit the 'Boarding with Fame' hall, the found their rooms, each room was beside each other.
"Alright…Odd and Trinity this is you guys room" Ulrich handed Odd and Trinity their room key. "Jeremy and Aelita, here is yours. And here is ours" Ulrich smiled
As each couple entered their room, and they were amazed, the room looked like a hotel room, but much better! The bathroom was on the right as soon as you walked in; it has a huge Jacuzzi tub, two sinks, and a toilet of course, but with a seat warmer! Once you walked in the room more, you noticed that there was a huge 60' in TV on the wall, with a dresser underneath, then a huge California King Size Mattress that was a full Tempurpedic mattress, then a balcony facing the clear blue water. (A/N each room looks the same)
Once the group were acquainted with their rooms, the were off to explore the biggest cruise ship in the world!
How was that for the first chapter! Sorry it took a while to publish the story, I took a short break to get all my ideas together, so this won't be a story I would not update for a couple of months.
