Author's Note- Ok, this chapter about Dylan will kind of be mostly based off my vacation in the Caribbean! In other words, Dylan will be like me! BUT-there will be some parts which are totally NOT true or it never happened! So, I will put a number after it, and that basically means it's like a footnote, and when you're done reading, (or while you're reading) you scroll all the way down to the bottom and read accordingly to the number! Get it? Good! Enjoy and review!

Caribbean Airport

Gateway

Same Day- 5:30 P.M.

Dylan walked down the long crowded passageway, pushing and shoving through the crowd. After a couple of hours of searching and asking, Dylan had finally found her luggage. Now, she was rushing to get out. She had wasted enough time in the airport.

"Guess what, honey?" Merri-Lee Marvil suddenly broke the silence.

Dylan rolled her eyes as she struggled to carry all four giant LV bags. "What?"

"We're actually taking a cruise!" Merri-Lee announced. (1)

Dylan dropped her bags. "What, why?"

"We thought it would be better than staying in a hotel. Besides, the Caribbean is made up of islands, so it would be easier to travel around." Mr. Marvil said.

"And you decide just to tell me now?" Dylan crossed her arms.

"We thought it would be better if it was a surprise to you."

"Oh, yeah, it sure was a surprise alright." Dylan muttered, picking up her bags. "But, whatever, I'm totally cool with that. Let's go."

Merri-Lee smiled, "That's the spirit. We have to go the port now to board the ship. It's a good thing we arrived here really early."

"What is our ship called?" Dylan asked. She walked out of the airport and was greeted by a rush of hot air.

"The Caribbean Princess." Merri-Lee answered.

Dylan nodded, that sounded like a pretty good ship to her. Merri-Lee hailed a taxi and twenty minutes later, they had arrived at their destination. Dylan stepped out of the taxi and took a good look at the magnificent ship that was right in front of them.

All sides of the ship gleamed gloriously in the hot sun with the words Caribbean Princess elegantly inscribed The sight of the Caribbean Princess made Dylan more excited than she already was. But they first had to check in and drop off their luggage. Twenty minutes later, Dylan was free of all her heavy luggage and was only carrying her black Coach bag. Right before boarding the ship, an ah-nnoying photographer took five to ten minutes taking pictures of Dylan and her family. When the photographer finally let them go, Dylan half-walked and half-ran to the ship.

She took out her blue cruise card and slid it into the machine and the machine beeped. It took a picture of Dylan and then she was allowed to move on. After walking a few steps through a door, there was a large foyer type of room where there was already someone playing the piano to entertain people. Dylan glanced up and saw two see through glass elevators that were decorated on the outside. She also saw people on the other decks staring down. Dylan looked down at her cruise card to see what room she was staying in. Deck 5. Dylan looked around and saw that the deck she was on right now was Deck 5. She wandered around the deck, searching for any signs or marks to tell her where the suites were. At last, after asking an employee on the sixth desk, she finally found her room.

Dylan slowly slid her key card into the small slit and a green light popped up. She took her key out and slid it into the back pocket of her pants and grabbed a hold of the handle and slowly opened the door. She gasped and nearly dropped her black bag. The suite was unbelievably amazing! Dylan was so glad that she didn't have to share a room with her parents. That would just be absolutely horrible and weird. Dylan took a couple steps forward and to her left, there was a closet and bathroom. She kept on walking and she found a king sized bed and a counter with a T.V. facing it right in front. In the other room, there was a couch, table, and another T.V. Dylan pulled aside the big curtains which revealed a gorgeous view of the outside view. She smiled and stepped outside and immediately felt the hot air envelop her. She sighed happily and after a moment, she walked back in, making sure to close the door. Dylan was really pleased with her suite she got. Now if only her luggage would arrive.

To occupy her time while she waited for her luggage to arrive, Dylan looked at the greeting cards, safety manuals, and various instructions. She picked up the greeting card first because it looked the most exciting.

Welcome aboard, Miss Marvil!

We are delighted to have you on board with us on the magnificent Caribbean Princess. We would like to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, so please don't hesitate to call the front desk if you have any questions. We hope you enjoy the cruise!

Sincerely,

The Staff

Dylan set the greeting card back down and read all the other cards and paper. Dylan's hands brushed past a rather small but thick packet. Curious, she picked it up and read. It was an invitation to this teen activity center that the ship had. Dylan instantly thought no. But as she flipped through the packet, reading what activities they would be doing, she thought about it again. It would probably be a good idea because she was most likely going to be bored to death because all the shows and activities that the ship offered were probably going to be all for old people. With the exception of a few. It would also be a good chance to make some new friends and memories. She decided to go to the teen center, which was called Remix, and see how it was.

Suddenly, there was a knock on Dylan's door. Dylan walked up to it and opened the door. There was a steward at the door with all her luggage. Dylan stepped aside and let the man in. The steward carried her luggage and set them down next to her bed. She gave the man a five dollar tip. "Thanks," The man merely nodded his thanks and went back outside. Now that Dylan had her luggage, she started unpacking immediately. She first took out all her tops and neatly hung them in the closet. Next, she took out her bottoms and put them into the drawers. Ten minutes later, Dylan was all done unpacking and she had changed into a new outfit. She was now wearing an simple white Anna Osmushkina shirt with a pair of Dark Wash True Religion jeans that was completed with a pair of black Banana Republic flip flops. Dylan was glad that she had packed a few jeans because she wasn't sure if it was going to be cold or not.

She felt like she didn't need anything so she just grabbed her key card, cell phone, and her sunglasses just in case and left her suite. (2) She walked down the long hallway and briefly glanced at the paintings on the wall as she arrived at the center room. The room was now filled with people chatting and standing around. There were people sitting in the chairs listening to the music and people who were just standing and chatting at the same time. Dylan looked around and found stairs to go higher. She decided not to take the elevator because she wanted to lose some weight. She knew that eating at the buffet almost every single day and not exercising would make her gain a lot of weight and she totally couldn't go back to Westchester looking like a bloated pig. Dylan shook her head and quickly got rid of that thought. She needed to explore the ship, so Dylan wandered around aimlessly, wondering where she would end up and what she would come across with.

Dylan was walked into another room and was flooded by the sight of hundreds of pictures. She looked to her left and to her right and smiling people was the image that greeted her. She walked along, trying to find her family's picture. She finally found it way down at the end of the room. She looked at the sign that was hanging near the photo walls. All photos are copyright protected. Please purchase photos at the desk. Dylan scoffed silently. Puh-lease, like a little sign was going to stop her from doing what she wanted to do. Dylan looked around for a moment and then slowly and secretly took out her cell phone. She flipped it open and aimed the phone's camera at the picture. She quickly took a picture of it and snapped her phone shut before anyone could catch. She only wanted the picture to send to her friends. She definitely didn't want it to keep as a souvenir or whatever. Dylan smiled and then continued walking.

Next, she saw a club called Club Fusion. Curious, she walked in and was immediately enveloped in the darkness. It wasn't completely dark, so Dylan could still see her surroundings and what not. But hey, weren't most, if not all clubs dark inside? She went out of Club Fusion the other way and headed for more stairs. The next six floors were all rooms. They were brutal and by the time Dylan reached Deck 15, her legs were completely dead and she felt like collapsing onto the ground and rest. Dylan smelled food and headed towards the direction of where it was coming from. She found herself in a buffet. She nodded, yeah, she knew there was going to be a buffet where she would get fat if she ate too much and didn't exercise. She casually walked into the buffet just to see what kind of food the ship offered. Dylan frowned as she walked by the foot. Most of them Dylan didn't like to eat, and some of them were okay, but there wasn't really anything that stood out to Dylan or anything that Dylan really loved. She sighed, oh well, she just had to get used to this for a few weeks.

Dylan left the buffet, taking a chocolate chip cookie with her. She walked out of the automatic door and was once again enveloped in the very hot heat. She looked around and saw a swimming pool and Jacuzzi with people already in it. There were lots of people gathered all around it, some sitting at the bar and others standing in random places. On the deck above, there were people singing and playing instruments while the passengers danced and enjoyed them music. Ok, there would be other times where she could come back and enjoy this. Right now, she really needed to find Remix. Dylan wandered across the deck and found herself in another area with a giant plasma T.V. up in front of her with lots of chairs lying around empty. Ok, where the hell am I?

Just then, a cute looking boy walked by Dylan. (3)

"Hey," Dylan quickly said, stopping the boy.

"Yeah?" the boy turned around, his blue eyes sparkling in the sun.

"Do you know where Remix is?" Dylan asked hopefully.

The guy smiled and showed his perfect white straight teeth. "Yeah, I was just about to go there right now."

"No way, really?"

He nodded, "Yeah, are you registering for it?"

Dylan hesitated, was he going to register? She actually wasn't even sure if she was going to join, she just wanted to check it out. "Are you?" she first asked.

"Yeah," he then waited for Dylan's response.

"Same here," Dylan casually replied.

"Ok, then come with me and I'll show you." He stuck out his hand. "I'm Corey Hansen, nice to meet you." (4)

Dylan shook his hand and took off her sunglasses. "I'm Dylan Marvil, nice to meet you too."

Corey's eyes widened, "No way! You're Merri-Lee Marvil's daughter!"

Dylan froze and frowned. Oh no, please don't let this be another Daily Grind fan. "Uh, yeah, how did you know it was me?" Why would Corey be watching her mom's T.V. show?

"Well, you look a lot like her, and my mom is like in love with the show and she sometimes forces me to watch with her. I've seen you a couple of times on you're mom's show, so I know." He explained.

Dylan relaxed and smiled. Ok, good, he wasn't a totally weird obsessed fan who happened to be really cute. "Oh, well shh," she held a finger up to her lips. "don't tell anyone."

Corey winked, "I won't,"

Dylan became serious. "Seriously, don't tell anyone. I don't want fans banging on my door at like, four in the morning, asking for an autograph or something like that."

Corey laughed, "Ok, I promise I won't!"

"Good, now lead the way." Dylan gestured for him to start walking.

Corey started walking in the direction that Dylan had just come from. "What deck are you on?" he asked.

"5," Dylan answered, "you?"

"8,"

Dylan nodded, "Cool, what are your hobbies and skills?"

"Well, I'm good at tennis and basketball, and I also like to draw." Corey answered. (5) "What about you?"

Dylan was surprised, she didn't think that Corey was the type of person who liked to draw. Oh, life was always full of surprises. "I love shopping," she laughed, "that's obvious, and I suck at all sports, but the one I'm best at is probably volleyball." Dylan said, she couldn't think up of anything else to say. Luckily, they arrived at what looked like to be Remix. They went inside and waited in line behind a lot of teenagers who were also signing up.

Ten minutes later, Dylan and Corey were at the front of the line. "You go first," Corey gestured.

"Aw, thanks," Dylan smiled and bent down to fill out a card. She quickly finished and gave the card to the person behind the desk. Dylan stepped aside and let Corey to fill in his card next. In a matter of minutes, he was done too. Dylan and Corey wandered around the room to see what there was that they could do. There was a small room right to the right with four T.V.s and two chairs and a couch. In the main room, there was a counter with shelves behind it like a kitchen, and the shelves were filled with board games and other arts and craft stuff. Next to that, there were two couches lying next to each other back to back with one couch facing the giant T.V. There were bean bags scattered around the T.V. There was a pool table/hockey table next to the T.V. with another set of two couches. Next to the pool table/hockey table was a fooseball table with a table and a few chairs next to it. On the other side of the room, there was an even bigger T.V. with a D.J. station next to it and there was an area right in front of the D.J. station for dancing and other stuff and the whole room was painted blue.

Now that they were done with their tour, there was nothing left to do. The first activity would actually start at 10 P.M. at Remix. It was basically just to get to know each other and other activities like that. They walked out of Remix and Corey stopped walking and turned towards Dylan.

"It was nice meeting you," he said, "I'll guess I'll see you later, Dylan."

Dylan sighed inwardly and tried to hide her disappointment. "Yeah, it was nice meeting you too. I'll see you tonight."

Corey smiled and nodded. He pressed the elevator button and an elevator door opened. (6) He got into the empty elevator while Dylan stood outside watching. He smiled and waved goodbye to her. "Bye,"

Dylan smiled and waved back. "See ya," She watched the elevator doors close slowly until she couldn't see Corey anymore. She felt her cheeks and she could tell that she was blushing furiously. Wait, what? Why the hell was she blushing? Or was it because she was getting sick? Dylan quickly looked at her reflection in the elevator doors. Nope, she wasn't getting sick, she was definitely blushing. But why? Because of Corey, let's hope not. She had only met him half an hour ago! She could nawt be falling for Corey already. (7) She hadn't seen the rest of the boys yet! She sighed, good thing there was the getting to know each other meeting at night. She slid on her sunglasses and walked outside. In the meantime, she had to now find her parents and forget all about Corey for a while.

(1) The cruise obviously wasn't a surprise to me. I had already know that we were going on a cruise for a few months.

(2) I did not go wandering around the ship by myself. I don't know what I did after I unpacked and stuff. I think I just stayed in my room and did some random things.

(3) Since I didn't go wandering around the ship, I didn't meet a cute boy outside. :(

(4)There really was a guy named Corey at Remix, but his last name wasn't Hansen. I don't know his last name so I just made one up!

(5) Again, I totally don't know Corey's hobbies and skills…

(6) Ok, the elevators on the ship did nawt open up right away! It took like 15 or 20 fricking minutes for an elevator to come to the deck we were on!

(7) And no, I did nawt have a crush on Corey like Dylan sorta does.

OMG-this chapter was 8 pages long! The longest chapter about Dylan! (Or even the longest chapter in the whole story!) Did you like it? I hope so, because I worked really hard on it! That's why it took me so long to finally update! REVIEW a lot if you want to see how Massie handles Jessica in the next chapter!

Luv ya!
