The flight was fun. Though I tried and tried and tried to get Nick to let me drive. There had almost been an argument, but that of course Nick somehow dismissed it quickly. I wanted to know where we were going. He wasn't using a snow globe and I stayed cuddled into his side. Not that I minded too much, but it was getting warmer. So wherever we were going I'm sure it was far from the Pole. Maybe that way so we would no be interrupted. Which would be amazing.
"Ve're almost there." Nick told me. I looked over the edge of the sleigh. All I could see was water, water, and a tiny speck in the distance. I'm assuming we were going to go to an island. Which would be great. Though I had no idea why an island. Wouldn't it be easier for us to go somewhere else?
Though we really couldn't have a honeymoon on the mainland because children would recognize Santa. I'd probably be left alone more then he would. I could imagine Nick going out around Christmas time. Children would swarm him.
"Wow. What is this place?" I looked around. The island wasn't as barren as I thought it would be. There were several small cottages like places on the beach. They looked perfect and pristine like any type of weather had never touched them.
"It is Vacation Island."
"Vacation Island?"
"I found it many years ago vhen I ran out of snow globes on my vay back to the Pole. I send over vorked yetis and elves here. Sometimes other Guardians come to enjoy some time avay from their busy lives." Nick told me.
I didn't really see how some of the Guardians are overly busy. I know a few like Bunny may need a bit of relaxation time after Easter, but I couldn't see them coming here for a really long while. I had no clue how long our honeymoon would last. When we landed on the island I must say I didn't realize how warm this coat must really be. The wind created by the sleigh must have helped keep me cool.
"This place is beautiful."
Before I could even tour the beach cottage we had to take care of the reindeer. Surprisingly, their barn thing seemed to be almost air-conditioned. Which was entirely strange in it's own because it was really warm out, but maybe the reindeer made their own cold. It would make sense otherwise delivering presents in warm climates on Christmas would be killer.
Let's just say our wedding night went well. When I woke in the morning, I found out that Nick was a horrible cook. He attempted to make me breakfast in bed, which is sweet, but being woken up and smelling smoke is not a pleasant surprise.
"Nick, what did you do?"
"Breakfast?" He held out a plate that I'm not even sure it was food. Most of it looked like a ton of ashes. Lots and lost of ash. I thought food ending up like that was only possible in movies.
"How about I make breakfast and you go check on the reindeer?" I asked. Trying not to make it seem so bad. You know I don't really want to hurt his feelings and I also didn't want to even attempt to eat any of that disgusting looking burnt food. I guess I need to make sure I don't sleep past Nick ever when we're not at the Pole. I suppose the yetis always cooked for him after they met.
Nick thankfully did not try and defend his food. I think he realized that an elf probably wouldn't even eat it. I know my culinary skills were not as good as I wished they'd be, but I could make due. I had yet to starve out of years upon years of living by myself. Though it's always possible that I became accustomed to my own taste. I didn't have any complaints from Karl, but elves will eat just about anything and everything.
"Pancakes, I can make those right?" I did thankfully make them and none were burnt. They tasted all right to me. When Nick came in he sat down and started eating. I didn't hear a single complaint from him either so I'm assuming that my food was at least eatable.
I get this is my honeymoon and all, but I'm bored! There is nothing to do! Besides being with my new husband. I didn't have any girls to talk to. Nick had some idea for a toy after breakfast and surprisingly, okay not really, Nick had a workshop here too. I wasn't going to put a damper on his creativity, but what was I supposed to do! This place did not have a library like the Pole did.
Though the Pole didn't have a beach so maybe that was the trade off. I'm sure most of the yetis and the elves didn't read. I'd never seen any of the Guardians read. So my only option was to be on the beach really. I didn't mind the sand or the water. It's just that swimming got old quickly and the sand of course got hot quickly. So I ended up near the edge of the water creating sand castles.
Which of course had shells as windows and sticks with a leaf as a flagpole. Don't forget all about the moat. A castle is not complete without a moat. I even tried to keep it so that water would actually fill up the moat. I then started on a village. What's a castle without its subjects? This had to be the most I've used my own creativity in awhile.
A/N: Another chapter. Hope you like their little honeymoon. I wonder if anything will happen now that their married. *hint hint nudge nudge*. Send me a review to see if you know what's going to happen next.
