REDONE. I COULDN'T STAND THE BELLA I CREATED.

I was going to work. Just as usual.

Except, my job, is different from everybody else's. I don't work on land, and I don't work in the air. I work, on the water. And this year, was going to be a better, happier sea excursion. My suitcase was packed with everything I would need, clothing, hair products, make-up and most importantly, my uniform. And of course, anything I happened to forget to bring would be easily available on board.

Working on a cruise ship, had its ups and downs. Literally. There were the odd moments at sea when you jolted forward or backward. But, it was definitely worth it. The ship sailed around the world and I was able to see wonderful landmarks, eat fantastic food, and of course meet fantastic people, most of who were extremely rich, and gave fantastic tips.

It was just the fact that I had to run around a boat all day that got me a tad annoyed. But it wasn't too bad, as my two best friends worked with me on the ship. They had slightly better jobs, but at least we were together.

Alice, my dedicated girl best friend, got spend all day in the mini beauty salon, making people feel and look pretty. She got to dress rich, preppy teenage girls and little children that had run away from their parents. She got to apply make-up to them and do their hair. It was a dream come true for her. And I was really happy for her, except when she insisted I be her guinea pig for so called 'practice.'

Emmett, my best male friend and personal bodyguard, got to spend all day watching as young women (and sometimes not so young women) walked past him and swam in the pool. He was the pool lifeguard, and the best one at that. He was also the local strong man, and when he wasn't at the pool, he was either at the onboard gym, working out and helping others, or with Alice and I, just handing about.

As I boarded the Sapphire, one of the biggest cruise ships that I had ever worked on, I had a funny feeling in my tummy that this trip would be one that would change my life. I dragged along my suitcase and headed up the employee's laneway. At the door, there was someone that I was planning on avoid for this entire trip.

Mike. Great.

Mike was one of the many waiters aboard the sapphire, and when he wasn't working, he was dangling around me, like a mosquito to a flame. I hated him, his desperate ways and his love for me.

'Hey Bella, baby! Long time no see, eh!?' He said bopping his head up and down, as if he were part of the rockers. To me, he looked just a tad bit like a stalker.

'Hi Mike. How was your holiday?' I asked him curtly.

'It wasn't the same without you, Bella, baby.'

'I never knew my surname was Baby. Guess you learn something new every day.' I pushed past him and onto the actual ship, still dragging my suitcase behind me.

I strolled down to my room, there was no point in rushing. I had complete knowledge of where I was staying. In a small room, bottom level of the boat, no window needed, all you would see out of it would be water, but I didn't mind, Alice and Emmett would be with me, so I would be just fine.

I shoved my key in the eave and already had a mental picture of my room. The map I had been studying over the break was full set in my mind, I had exact notation of where I was. I opened the door wide open.

'Bella!' Emmett yelled as he hopped down from the top bunk. He pulled me into a mammoth hug. I think I felt his biceps pulse.

'Emmett.' I barely whispered. He slowly let go of me when he noticed my face was blood red.

'Bella!' Alice said as she ran into me, knocking us both on the floor. She was tiny, but strong. Her perfume smelled beautiful as always, and her short black hair contrasted with her pale skin and eyeliner rimmed eyes.

'Hey Ali.' I screamed back in her ear, knowing she wouldn't be affected. She gave me an evil smirk back. Her eyes lit up, telling a thousand stories in one. She was excited. I was excited. We were excited.

'I'm so excited! This is going to be one hell of a trip!' Alice said as we both stood up. She patted down her hair, while Emmett's moon like grin smiled wider.

'Running around on a boat, my type of fun!' I said with extreme sarcasm.

'Its not that bad, Bella. You know you love it.' Alice said back to me, with her all knowing eyes.

'And the tips are pretty good, if I may add...' Emmett added in.

'I love it, you guys know that... it's just some people are a little rude, and I don't like running around a ship very much.'

'But you have a job of a lifetime!' Alice said as she sat down on the bed. She straightened the pillow cover, and then patted the bed motioning me to sit down next to her.

Instead of sitting down, I picked up my suitcase from the middle of the room and threw it on the nearest bed. I pulled out a pile of books and shoved them in one of the drawers, and pulled my uniform out of its bag and placed it neatly on the beige coloured bed.

'Guess who is going to be on this trip?' Emmett asked as he leaned on the white wooden frame of the door.

' The Queen of England?' I asked sarcastically.

'No... but close, Jasper Hale!' Alice joined in excitedly. I gestured my hands for more information.

'You know... the famous musician... blonde hair, lapis lazuli eyes.' I knew who he was, but I just wanted to test my luck with Alice.

I coughed voluntarily. Alice shrugged and went off into a world of her own, daydreaming about Jasper Hale, as per usual.

'Ooh, the one with that drop dead gorgeous actress who apparently is his twin?' Emmett said with his eyes wide open. If Emmett knew someone who wasn't a famous sport player, this was a big thing.

'Wasn't his like, ugly "best friend" also supposed to be on this ship, the, um... the one he hates now... What's his face...' Emmett asked Alice.

'Which one? He has a lot of "best friends".' Alice replied.

'He was dating Rosalie Hale for a bit, and then he broke it off, ungrateful bastard, and she still has a thing for him, and he doesn't...' Emmett explained. Wow, this must be an actress he likes I thought to myself in amazement.

'Are you a fan of this Rosalie Hale? Seriously! How much stuff do you know about her!?' I said in surprise.

'Well, her favourite colour is yellow and blue, and her favourite food is Greek salad...' He trailed off onto a line of thoughts.

'Jacob! Jacob Black!' Alice finally recalled. I knew that one!

'The one with the russet-coloured skin, with the black hair, he works as something, ugh...tip of my tongue...' But I was interrupted by the phone ringing. Emmett reached over to pick it up.

'Playboy.' Alice mouth-sang at me.

'Hello?... Yeah, they are here...Yep... Okay, we will be there. Thanks.' Emmett said. 'We have a meeting in 10minutes at the staff lounge.' I groaned tiredly, and stood up off the soft bed. Alice ran to the mirror, did a once over and grabbed her key while Emmett stretched his arms out.

We strolled towards the direction of the elevator, while Emmett made stupid jokes. Alice and I laughed our heads off, and Emmett was chuckling at his jokes a little too much. Which caused us to laugh at him too. Once we arrived at the elevator, we waited patiently for it to arrive. The elevators and I didn't really have a friendship going, as they never came when you wanted them to, and they were extremely painful to get caught in the doors. I repeatedly pressed the button, a process which was natural to me, and that really should make the elevator come faster.

Guess what, it doesn't. When it finally came, we piled in. The cheesy elevator music was just as bad as last years and we all cracked up when our favourite unnameable tune just happened to play. The doors dinged open and we went off again. There were already a few couple kids running around the boat and we hadn't even taken off yet. I just hoped it wasn't going to be me taking them back to their cabins when they got hungry/tired.

This was going to be one hell of a trip.
