Even after the clock struck seven Noctis remained asleep. He wasn't much of a morning person to begin with, but as he was so physically exhausted from the night before he felt even less inclined to get out of bed.

He rolled over to his side and continued to sleep. He didn't even feel the bed shift as a beautiful young woman in white sat down on the edge of it.

She gently ran her fingers along Noctis' cheek, speaking softly, "Noctis, time to wake up."

The slumbering prince slowly opened his eyes, and he immediately saw his wife. She wore a strapless tight white sun dress with a short free flow skirt. Her hair was fashioned in her usual style, impossibly braided and yet tidy as if the gods themselves had kept it that way. How she ever did it Noctis would probably never know. "Luna…"

Lunafreya Nox Fleuret-Caelum, former princess of Tenebrae and future Queen of Insomnia as well as wife to Noctis, sat smiling lovingly down at her husband. "You feeling any better?"

He moved onto his back and closed his eyes again, "To be honest I'd much rather get some more sleep."

He hoped that would be the end of it, but Luna had other ideas. "I know, but how will you enjoy the island if you're in bed all the time?"

He groaned and rolled away from her, "Just a few more minutes—" He stopped before opening his eyes again. "Wait…did you say 'island'?" That explains the smell of the ocean.

Luna nodded, "Yes."

Noctis got out of the bed, climbing over the other side and went to the open balcony doors. He saw a long stretch of white sand beach with clear blue water of an ocean that went as far as the eye could see. Trees populated the inland. He and his wife were on an island alright, a beautiful one at that, but how did they get here?

"How did we…hope this is just a dream…"

Luna got up from the bed and went to stand beside Noctis, "I assure you it is not a dream, Noct."

"Mind telling me how you know this?"

Luna motioned to the silver cart near the table in the center of the room, "A furry little creature named Mogne dropped off a breakfast cart for us while you slept. I asked him all sorts of questions. Namely where we were and when we got here."

Noctis went over to the table and took a seat. He had a feeling he was going to need it. "And…?"

"The island is known as Mog Island, and we arrived here late last night, though Mogne was unable to tell me how we came to the island." Luna took a seat opposite her husband.

Running a hand over his face and through his hair, Noctis had to digest this whole thing. It was proving difficult. "Okay…this can't get any weirder, could it?"

The prince sat up straight in the chair, the black night shirt he wore was unbuttoned halfway down and his hair was slightly messed up though those who didn't know him thought his hair looked messy all the time.

The fact that she was on a mysterious island didn't seem to bother Luna. In fact she seemed to be taking it in stride. She was seeing it as a way to get away from the kingdom and all the stress it put on Noctis for a few days. She didn't want to tell him this, but one of the questions she had asked Mog was how long they would be on the island. Three days had been the answer, and with that Luna knew she had limited time to enjoy with Noctis.

Best to start right away.

"By the way, I did notice something while I was outside."

"You went outside…?" Noctis grabbed a plate from the cart, and after seeing it was a delicacy of fancy pancakes he started to eat.

"Only to the lobby. Apparently this resort is run by those little creatures with the red pom-poms." She reached for a plate as well and started to dine. "Anyway…I noticed we are not the only ones here. All the rooms are occupied."

"You see anyone?"

"I thought I saw a couple teenagers in the lobby but they left to their room before I could speak to them. I think one of them had a tail, which I found rather odd."

Noctis lowered his fork, "Hmm. That's certainly interesting." He looked down at the table, seeing the delicious food that lay before him. "I suppose we can check it out after we eat."

Luna agreed and they went about finishing their breakfast.

After eating their fill Luna went to the restroom to add some make-up while Noctis went to get dressed. He did get ready to go outside but as he looked over himself in a full length mirror near the bed he saw how so little was different from when he was back home. Being prim and proper when he is supposed to be on a make-shift vacation didn't set well with him. He should be more loose and not so tight.

He sighed loudly, and as Luna came into the room she heard him. "Something wrong?"

Noctis shook his head. He made a small compromise but unbuttoning his shirt a ways. He knew if Ignis were here he'd chew him out but as it were he was home free. "I'm just trying to be less up tight before we go out."

"Let me help." Walking over to him Luna patted his shoulders and tried to take out the wrinkles in his shirt. She would have buttoned his shirt but the look he gave her when she attempted seemed to plead with her to not do that.

Feeling as satisfied as she could Luna rubbed Noctis' arms, "There. As good as a prince should be."

"Funny, I thought we were on vacation?" He said with a smile.

Unable to hold back a light giggle, Luna leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "Shall we?"

She reached for his hand and they walked side by side out the door and into the hallway.
