"Gah!"
Thud.
Part Two
"Oh and what were you doing that took so long to answer the door?" Eriol asked immediately after Sakura opened the door for him. In the background he could see Syaoran rubbing his head, acting as if he just fell off the bed for some reason.
" I was sleeping if you must know." Sakura retorted, still a little dazed from the little sleep she got. "Just like any other normal person out there."
Eriol chuckled. Tomoyo had warned him that Sakura wasn't a morning person until at least ten minutes after she woke up. "Gomen ne about last night. We just kinda fell asleep..."
"I'm sure." Syaoran muttered, walking up to the door and standing behind Sakura, still rubbing his head. "It isn't even light outside yet. This is supposed to be a vacation, as in getting away from waking up early...."
"Such harsh words." Eriol said sadly, acting hurt. "You tear at my heart, ancestor...."
"Oh shut up." Syaoran growled and turned to see if they had any coffee machines at that particular hotel.
"Anyway." Sakura began.
"Anyway, We are going to leave in twenty minutes. We need to make up for lost time yesterday."
Sakura nodded. "Hai, hai. I get the picture." And with that she muttered a goodbye to Syaoran and walked next door to her room where a waiting Tomoyo greeted her with apologies for actually ignoring her last night.
~**~
Syaoran yawned loudly as he closed the back door to the van. "Man, I'm beat..."
Tomoyo giggled and patted his shoulder. "I love the mornings."
"Morning?" He asked, amazed at her, before pointing at the sky. "Good grief, woman, its still night!"
The black-haired girl mearly smiled sweetly at him. "You'll see a pretty sunrise!"
Syaoran caught himself in mid face-fault. "Hai..hai...."
~**~
Eriol smiled to himself as he drove the van down the interstate. "We almost there?" He asked quietly so he wouldn't wake up the sleeping couple behind him.
"Almost." Tomoyo replied, just as softly. "Ne...You think it was a little mean to ignore them last night...?"
Eriol shook his head and reached over to take her hand. "Not at all... I'd feel a lot better if the two stubborn kids would just admit how they feel....know what I mean..?"
Tomoyo blushed slightly at his touch. "H-hai..."
"Getting shy on me?" He asks slyly, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Watch the road, flirt." Tomoyo giggled in reply. "Or we won't make it there."
"Yadi yadi."
~**~
"Oh man....that is a boat!?" Syaoran dropped his bag when he saw the massive ship in front of him. It was about twelve, if not more, feet out of the water. From his current place he could see the front of the boat. It had a small walkway from the front end that was about three feet long before hitting a door of tinted glass.
"Wow." Eriol stated simply, finding his way out of the van as well. "That thing is huge...."
Tomoyo smiled and got out as well, followed by Sakura. "Nice, huh? I like it ^^."
"I'll say....." Syaoran hopped up onto the front of it and took his shoes off and tossed them into the boat before jumping up into it himself. "Hurry up guys! I gotta see the inside soon!"
Sakura giggled, grabbing on of her suitcases. "We'll hand the stuff to Eriol, and he'll hand it to you."
Eriol nodded. "Sounds fair enough." Tomoyo grabbed the first bag and handed it to Sakura, who in turn gave it to Eriol to toss up to Syaoran.
~**~
"This place is great!" Syaoran shouted, opening the full sized 'fridge and gasping at the food just placed in there that morning. "We got a 'fridge, a stove, an oven!"
"This livingroom is bigger than Li-kun's!" Eriol exclaimed looking around at the T.V., recliner, and the small bar that separated the kitchen from the livingroom.
"Well excuse me for living in an apartment!" Syaoran retorted, causing Sakura to giggle.
"Check it out, we drive from down here!" She said cheerfully, placing her hands on the large wheel at the corner of the livingroom, next to a large glass window. Well, actually all the livingroom walls were glass.
"Un. You can also steer from upstairs." Tomoyo replied.
Syaoran blinked. "Upstairs!?"
Tomoyo giggled. "The roof, " she pointed up. "Is flat because there is a porch like thing on top." She moved her finger to the wall of the livingroom. "There is one bedroom there, two beds." She moved her hand to where Syaoran was standing. "The kitchen." Her finger mover to the right of Syaoran. "Second bedroom." A little more to the right. "Bathroom." Now to the glass door where they came in. "Back porch." A one-eighty spin. "Front porch." She let her hand drop. "You can get upstairs from either porch."
A tap on the glass door made them all jump slightly and turn to see a young man with blandish red hair enter in. "Yo, I'm Alex. I'm here to teach you how to drive this bad boy."
Tomoyo and Sakura turned to the guys. "You guys go learn." Sakura stated as a request/order. "Me and Tomoyo will fix everything up."
Syaoran looked at Eriol. Eriol looked at Syaoran. Both looked at Alex.
"Me first!" Eriol shouted, dashing with Syaoran at his heels.
~**~
Eriol smiled proudly as the wind hit his face at a steady forty miles per hour. He was standing on top of the boat steering it like an expert. The topside of the boat was mostly white, with a few lawn chairs to sit or lay on. The sides had a waist high railing and the large steering wheel was in the center of it all. Turns out he had learned faster than Syaoran, although he was sure he could do just as good, so Eriol decided to look for a place to park the boat while they were staying there on the lake.
~**~
"Anything I can do to help?" Syaoran asked, walking in from the outside, amazed at how silent it was inside the boat when the door was closed.
Sakura looked back from her place arranging the kitchen to her liking for the next week and a half. "Un, unpack our stuff. We have the left room from the way your standing."
Syaoran immediately blushed. "We!?"
"Hai." Tomoyo answered him, seeing Sakura blush as well. "It's my boat, my vacation, and I want alone time with Eriol-chan."
Syaoran thought he was going to be sick. "Eriol......-chan?......." Tomoyo shot him a mean look that he found quite humorous on her cute face. "Hai...hai....." And with that, he took a step down into the room after moving the 'door' that was more of a curtain sliding across the top of the frame.
The young boy blinked at the room he was going to be living in for the next little while. Two steps led down into the room from the main floor. The room consisted of a foot and a half amount of floor space in a rectangular strip from the bottom of the stairs to the wall. There was storage space above the beds and below them. The beds were almost what he expected. They were soft and comfortable with fluffy pillows and thick sheets to snuggle with. The beds were on either side of the little walkway. That was basically it. Walk in, bed on left. Bed on right. Storage space for suitcases on bottom, dressers on top. Small curtain to pull in front of your bed for privacy.
Syaoran inspected the bags tossed on the beds. Looks like his was on the right. "Oh well." He spoke to himself aloud. "Guess I better start unpacking...... We'll be here a while."
