She stood there in disbelief. This was the famous "Venture" she had heard so much about. This was the Venture that was taking her and her sister to London. Unbelievable!
"Janie! Janie hurry up! Were about to leave! Get on board!" Jane Aridanni snapped back into reality and realized that her sister had already boarded the ship and she was standing there with her mouth wide looking stupid. She quickly grabbed her luggage case and boarded the Venture.
"Won't this be fun Jane? Just think of it! Four months out at sea! I can smell the freedom now!" Her sister closed her eyes and breathed in the sea air. She thought for a moment then realized that there was no point in being angry over something you cant control so she gave in and closed her eyes as well.
"Come on Tiff we'd better go but our bags in our rooms. They headed below to find which rooms they were staying in.
"Have you found it yet Tiff? My arms are getting tired!" Jane whined behind her sister. Tiffany rolled her eyes.
"You are such a baby you know that?"
"I'm just kidding!" Jane laughed. A boy turned the corner walking towards them.
"Hey there I was just wondering? How do you tell all of these rooms apart? They all look the same to us?" Tiffany asked the boy in a rather frustrated tone.
"You must be the Aridanni sisters. I'm Jimmy." He shook their hands.
"I'm Tiffany."
"I'm Jane but you can call me Janie!" She beamed at him. Tiffany rolled her eyes.
"Here I'll show you to your rooms." Jimmy took the lead and turned a corner. Jane caught up to him.
"You'll have to excuse my sister. She gets pretty grumpy sometimes." Jimmy laughed and stopped at a room with a small wooden door. He opened it.
"Here you are Ms. Tiffany if you don't mind me calling you that?"
"It's fine thank you Jimmy." She entered and slammed the door shut. Jane jumped and laughed when Jimmy did the same.
"So love, where shall I be staying?" She winked at him.
"Right this way Ms. Janie." He winked back and showed her to her room.
She walked into the doorway and turned to face Jimmy.
"Thank you kindly for your hospitality kind sir!" She curtsied and he tapped.
"It was a pleasure." And with that he went up the stairs to the deck.
She closed the door and looked around at her new room for the next four months. It wasn't too bad actually. There was a bed in the corner and a window on the wall where she could see the sun setting in the distance. On the wall opposite her bed was a dresser and a chair. At the edge of her bed was a large trunk. She set her luggage case on the trunk and exited her room. She walked up the stairs and onto the deck. She placed her hands on her hips and looked around.
"Now where do you get good food on this crappy ship?"
