Part Five

Everyone stumbled out the door in a mad rush to a taxi and quick...they only had about 20 minutes before the
boat took off towards Crystal Caves.

"I can't believe you even wanted me to come Relena!" WuFei mumbled and a loud smack was heard behind. "Ow!
Woman, what was that for??!!" He cried out. Relena turned around and smiled at Sally as a "Thank you" but
returned a glare at WuFei who just stuck out his tongue in reply.

"Are we there yet??" Duo asked as the group, was once again crowded in one taxi. Relena on Heero's lap in the
front and Duo and Hilde in the middle and somehow, Sally and WuFei laying down, with Trowa and WuFei on
the ground mumbling again, while Quatre and Dorothy in the truck yelling, but you could only hear some of the
words.

"Ow Duo! That hurts, stop! Ow!" Hilde cried.

"Sorry babe, but this is fun!" He cried.

"Dammit WuFei, move!!" Sally gasped.

"I can't!! Duo's on top of me!! HE.......WEIGHS........A LOT!!!" He cried.

"Dorothy!!! HOLD......"

"Quatre!!! I ......"

"Trowa, my back hurts..." Catherine sighed.

"Don't Cathy, you'll make it....."

"Can you guys please stop screaming? I have a headache...." The taxi driver (same taxi driver) whined.

"NO!!!!!!" They all yelled.

"Heero...."

"Relena...."

"Heero....." Relena was looking deep into Heero's eyes....she smiled and was getting closer....

"HEY! We made it!!" Duo cried stopping Relena as she turned and peered out the window at the big boat that
floated in front of them.

"WOW....." They all gasped, except Quatre and Dorothy who were still in the trunk.

"What abeaut...." Duo awed.

"Yea, that boat there has been here for 12 years....made it through storm and rain.....she is called the 'Ship of
Crystals'." The taxi driver commented.

"Really?" Relena asked looking at how big it was. *Im going to be sailing on it with Heero....this is truly a dream
come true!* She sighed getting out.

"Come on everyone!! Let's go!! We only got 10 minutes...hurry up!!" Relena cried running to the trunk to let
Dorothy and Quatre out.

***

"Welcome to the 'Ship of Crystals!'" A man greeted Relena and the rest. "You are?"

"Miss Relena Peacecraft...I've been invited to ride this ship with a date of my choice and four other couples."
Relena smiled politely.

"Ah, Miss Peacecraft...Welcome! You are......uh.......er.....nevermind.....just go right up and have the maid take you
to your rooms..." The man replied.

"Huh? Okay..." Relena smiled feeling a tad uneasy....*What was he going to say?* Her thoughts stopped as she
felt a tap on the back of her shoulder. She stopped and turned. There were concerned faces on everyone.

"Relena, are you sure this cruise is gonna be safe?" Hilde asked.

"That man back there looked kind of confused...evil too....somehow..." Quatre replied.

"Im positive....would I really want to take all of my friends on a dangerous cruise on purpose?!" Relena stated
looking a little uneasy herself. Her head moved looking at each of them. Heero, he seemed far away. Trowa, a
little concern. Quatre was looking back at the man. WuFei was mumbling stuff. Sally had a look that you couldn't
explain. While Duo was looking around for any other weird people and Hilde and Catherine stared off into
space. *I hope this is going to fun....and safe....* She turned around heading back up to the top of the ship, her
friends not far behind.

"Hello!!! My name is Misty and you are?" She asked as Relena approached her.

"Miss Relena Peacecraft..." She replied.

"Miss Peacecraft, eh? Well, welcome aboard the 'Ship of Crystals'! I'll be your guide and show you around...if you
need anything just ring or look for me...okay?? Now, let me show you to your rooms..." Misty smiled, an odd
smile. A smile of a crazy person.

"Okay.." Relena replied looking out of the corner of her eyes, happy to see that everyone cheered up a bit more
and were looking around, all except Heero who noticed her looking. She quickly turned back and concentrated on
getting to the rooms.

"Here we are, Miss Peacecraft....Mr.Crystal would like to see you too! Don't worry, he'll visit you...." Misty cried
running off.

"Mr. Crystal??" Relena wondered walking in.

"Beautiful!! These rooms are absolutely beautiful!!" The girls cried out and the guys just stared in awe.

"Okay, now let's not fight...this is going to be a great vacation..." Relena replied smiling. They all nodded.

"Now, we have to figure out who sleeps where...." Quatre mumbled out.

"Oh no...." Sally exclaimed.

An Hour later....

Everyone seemed to appreciate where they were sleeping....there were 3 rooms that Relena had gotten with two
beds in each. Relena and Heero and Duo and Hilde in one room. Quatre and Dorothy and Trowa and Catherine
in another. Last, WuFei and Sally in the other room with some other couple. Relena hummed as she started
unpacking. Heero just quietly placed everything away. While Hilde was commenting on Relena's new clothes.
Duo was sitting down and checking out what they had on the tube.

"Hey check this out! They even got the adult channels!!" Duo said as his eyes widen at the site before his eyes.

"Duo, if I catch you watching them...prepare for a night that you'll wish would have never happen! Got it?" Hilde
cried out as Duo turned the channel quickly.

"Yes Ma'am..." He mumbled in reply.

"Hey Relena, want to go to the pool and catch up on getting a tan??" Hilde asked.

"Sure!!" Relena cried smiling grabbing her new bikini. "Let me change!" Hilde ran over to case as Relena
casually walked into the bathroom.

"What bathing suit....ah ha!! Here we go!" Hilde smiled walking over by the door and waiting. A few minutes
later Relena walked out. Duo's eyes went big and Heero stared.

"What? Does it look bad??" Relena asked looking down at herself.

"Duh....duh....ah......mooo.......maaaa....." Duo stumbled.

"No...." Heero replied still staring, but finally turning back around to finish his work.

"Okay...come on Hilde....let's go!!" Relena exclaimed happily as Hilde strolled out in a bikini herself. Duo's eyes
went HUGE.

"Duo, stop staring...." Hilde giggled. "Come on Relena..." Hilde smiled. Just before they reached the door, the rest
of the girls opened the door and cried out.

"CUTE GUYS AT THE POOL!!!!!!! COME ON RELENA AND HILDE....LET'S GO!!!!!" They cried.

"Cute guys, eh?? Hilde?" Relena looked over to Hilde who had a grin on her face.

"Im there!!" She cried running out the door and Relena turned around to face Heero and Duo who looked at her.

"Jealous? You and the guys should come out and beat the guys up and then maybe we'll come back to you...."
Relena replied and shut the door behind her. *Im so bad!!* She thought with a smile on her face.

"Dammit Heero...let's go!! I don't want Hilde going for some other dumb guy with muscles....Im the only guy
she'll ever have that has brains and at least cares for her!" Duo cried laying back on the bed.

"Well, you can go....but Im staying..." Heero replied.

"Huh? Not jealous Heero?? Strange...I thought you would be...." Duo smiled looking at him who just stared on.

"SO YOU ARE JEALOUS, aren't you Heero???"

"........................................."

"Come on, let's join the rest of the gang...they probably feel the same as us right now!!" Duo cried standing up and
dragging Heero out the door.

***

"Wow Relena, check out that hunk!" Hilde smiled.

"Wars are better, but when it comes to hot guys and a pool with me......I'd say YES!!" Dorothy smiled.

"Aww...look at that blonde....hey Sally, he's checking you out!" Catherine cried.

"What kind of boat is this? SINGLES night out??" Sally asked smiling.

"I don't know, but I know Im in heaven...." Dorothy sighed.

"Yea...." The girls replied except Relena. She was busy thinking of Heero. *I wonder if he was really jealous??? I
hope so....I really hope so!* She sighed playing along with the others as they scanned for more cuties. *Besides,
looking for guys couldn't be that bad...* She smiled.

"I wonder how Mr. Crystal looks!" Catherine cried smiling.

"Yea, he's probably the cutest out of them all!" Hilde sighed.

"That would be such a dream...I'd go for him before you could even say 'boom'!" Dorothy smiled evilly. Relena
laughed at how they thought of Mr. Crystal, however, before she could comment, a tap on her shoulder made her
stop and turn around to face a fat ugly man in front of her.

"Hello Miss Peacecraft..." The other girls turned around, their faces turned green by the ugly face that showed in
front of them. "Im Mr. Crystal..." The girls smiled nicely but you could tell they wanted to die.
