Note: I FINALY GOT THEM ON THE BOAT!!!! Sorry, I had to gloat for a minuet. This has some big flirting, shopping and THE BOAT LEAVES THE HARBOR!! Yippy. Sorry about that last chapter, it was crap, when I put it up I was in a whacked state of mind, it has so many mess ups and wrong words and spelling errors. Pulse I probably didn't even do rogues accent right. Oh and the card in the bathroom, I totally stole that from the island series, which I don't own BTW. Have fun.

Lets look around the boaty!-

After loading up the ship, and chasing a naked hermit crab around the beach, and various charters hitting on other charters, it was time to check out there home for the next year. On top of the boat were the sails, the helm, a radio for emergencies, and a couple of benches and seats. There were also 2 ways to go below, one lead to the bedrooms, one lead to the other rooms, such as the kitchen, er, galley, cargo hold, and engine room. This is also the room where the water was cleaned. To save them the pain in the butt chore of hauling on 300 million gallons of water. This nifty little room would suck salt water in from the ocean, clean it out, then pump it to the showers, and sinks and faucets. It did need to be cleaned every few days to get out the gunk, grime and salt. The toilets were flushed with strait old seawater. As neither the guys, nor the girls knew there way around they just went down the first set of stairs they saw.

"Oh wicked, the kitchen!"

"Gawd Sam, on a boat a kitchen is called a galley."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know that." They left the ~galley~ and walked into the entertainment/rec. room/fun room.

"Look at all those board games!" said Jamie; one unparticular caught his eye.

"Mega-cool sound system!" cried Sam, he noticed there were no CD's.

"A DVD player!" yelled Wanda, she noticed there were no DVDs.

They left the fun room and walked into the girl's room. A bunk bed, er, bunk berth was built into the wall. Along with a built in dresser. There was also a desk, and some shelf space. The carpet was a bright light green. It was rather cramped.

"Mon deui, can you two even fit in dere?" asked remy in total shock at the size of the room.

"Oh, I'm sure we can," said Wanda.

"What do you call that shade of green? Aloe green?" asked Jamie.

"Aloe green, now that's a cool name, I'm going to remember that," said Wanda. She and rogue ran up to the topside and grabbed their stuff. They then ran, a little slowed granted, back to their room to deposit their stuff. They boys all walked across the narrow hallway to the bathroom. Each the girls, and the boys had a bathroom to them selves. Mainly so they wouldn't walk in on a member of the opposite sex in the shower. There was a toilet, a sink, a little medicine cabinet, and a shower. Under the sink was a little storage space for things like shampoo and soap. John walked in. he looked around and made fun of several things before he walked over to the shower.

"Blimy, how are you supposed to fit in here?" he asked looking in the tiny stall. There wasn't a curtain, there was no toilet paper or any thing else the average girl, or human, would need.

"This bathroom is so snapin' small!" he shouted.

"Not bathroom john," the boys stared at her, she was unfazed as they had done this 5 times in the last 24 hours. "On a ship a bathroom is called a head. A bed is called a berth. And the walls are called bulkheads. If we have ta play sailor, get the terms right ok."

"Bunk berths?" asked Sam, lost as usual.

Rogue chuckled and turned to pyro, "hey will ya read that little card already?" she motioned to a little laminated card that was chained to the toilet.

John picked it up then read it aloud, "open valve, pump three times, close valve, pump three times, duck. Duck? Why would I need to du-" Whack! He hit his head full on upon the low sealing. "Crickey! Now I have to be afraid of the girls, the ocean, getting lost MEMORIZING STUPID TERMS AND the bathrooms, er um, HEADS!!" he shouted to no one unparticular. Everyone laughed. Rogue and Wanda stopped first. Wanda put her arm around his shoulder.

"You don't have to be afraid of us. Just when we are mad, tired, or-"

"Going through your time of the month?" asked Sam helpfully.

"Especially then," said rogue. They went on to look at the boy's room, which was twice as big and had twice the stuff in it. (as hey, twice as many people!) they then walked into the engine room. This was probably the biggest room. It had all sorts of things whirring, and clunking, and just generally moving.

Wanda pointed to a large tank. "the heck is this?" she asked.

Jamie walked up to it and said, "this is the water heater, over there is the filter. It has to be changed ever 25 hours, or 24, just to be safe. All you do is hit the red button, pull out the filter, clean it out into this tube, put it back in, then hit the green button to start it up again," he then demonstrated. The green/white goop fell into the tube and was then whoshed out. Likely back into the ocean.

"Hey, what will happen if we forget to clean it?" asked Sam.

"I think the filter will break, then we would be drinking and cleaning in salt water. There are other filters just in case."

"Hey Jamie, how do ya know 'bought all this stuff?" asked rogue as she looked at the pistons.

"I, unlike all of you, read the manual for this thing," he said puffing himself up.

"Cool," said remy, "now summat tells me we are gunna need to go back to da store to get a few more things." Every one nodded in agreement. They walked into the fun room and John picked up a notebook and a pen.

"Alright what do we need?" he asked every one put there two cents in, the girls seemed to need the most.

"Ok I got toilet paper, shower curtains, movies, CD's, batteries preferably a LOT, aspirin just as much as batteries, sunscreen, aloe lotion and more tooth past. Any thing else?"

"Um, I think we will need pads," said Wanda. All the boys blushed and rogue nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, that and Midol, we are pissed off enough on those days. You don't need to make us more mad," most of the boys were now scarlet.

John flipped the cover back on his notebook and said; "ok, so um whom is gunna help me?" he looked at the girls for help. No man alive wants to go out and buy pads, not in the middle of day, and most definitely NOT by himself. They would think he was gay, or a cross dresser, or just really, really sick.

"We're gunna stay here," said rogue, "Ah should keep an eye on that little crab, pulse I have to unpack and cook, and figure out how we are to do laundry on this hunk of wood."

"Oh, I'll help you!" said Wanda, "I need to unpack so bad, and I can cook pretty well to."

John stared at them in horror; he then turned to look pleadingly at the other guys. They weren't going to come. +damn+ thought john. He walked away to go prep himself out for the task ahead. Rogue walked of toward the beach. Remy followed her.

"Hey chere," he said. He reached out and hugged her shoulders. She stood there for a moment then stepped away from him.

"Gawd boy! Do ya wanna get killed?" she asked, this was really becoming painful, "if ah just touch ya, your dead for a day." He crept up behind her again and hugged her. "ya really can't take a hint can ya?" she looked up into his face and saw he was smiling. It was really unnerving. She wanted now more then ever to take his sunglasses off. "listen ta me, could ya go with john ta the store? Then meet me later on tonight. Ah wanna talk ta ya. And don't ya go sneakin' up on me lahk that, ok" he just hugged her tighter.

He put his head on her shoulder and whispered, "what didcha wanna ask remy? Huh Chere?" with that he left her alone on the beach looking for the little crab. He smiled to himself. Damn she was fine.

"Hey, Johnny boy. Remy gunna be comin' wit' ya." John looked at him in relief.

Sam walked by on his way to his room.

"Oy, farm boy! You are gunna come with us ok?" asked john.

"Huh? Why me?"

"Because ya got a load a sisters, so ya might know 'bout what we is gunna do," replied remy.

"Oh" they then marched him out. They walked to the nearest store and went in. it was just a little store, but it had everything they needed. First they went to the toiletry section, there they picked out toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner, a little scrubber for the girls, and some hair spray.

"Why do we need this?" asked john, "the girls wont have time to do their hair."

"First off, yes they will, don't even ask. Second this stuff is cool, if you light a mach and then spray it, it looks like a flame thrower," said Sam.

"I can turn a match into an inferno, that's what I do! I'm pyro!"

"Yes, but trust me, this trip is gunna be boring. And what's more fun that making homemade explosives?" asked Sam.

"He's got a point dere homme."

"Whatever, on to movies and CD's. what do we get?"

"Every thing?" responded Sam and remy at the same time.

"Pop, rock, mixed, techno, Goth, rap, heavy metal, oldies, authentic, and a few movie sound tracks. I think we got enough to keep even us happy."

"Yup john, I think we got it. A little bit for every one. Now what movies should we get?" asked Sam. The three of them walked over to the movie section.

"Let's get these, and these, and these." soon they had pulled down a copy of most every movie they had on DVD. Even a few cartoons. When asked about this Sam replied, "to make fun of, of course." They walked over to the medicine isle. Remy grabbed an armful of aspirin. The other two stared at him dumbfounded.

"You people be a walkin' headache hommes," he said calmly as he dumped his armload in. Sam grabbed some emergency stuff. Like heavy-duty bandages and rubbing achohall. That left john to get the Midol.

"Come on you can do it"

"It ain't dat hard."

He grabbed it and shoved it in the cart as fast as he could. The other two cheered. They walked on, grabbing two shower curtains, an iron and an ironing bored from the house keeping section.

Then came the true test. The pads. They seemed to have an isle to themselves. There were about 20 different kinds. They stared. What were they supposed to do? It's one thing to have to go get one incurably imbarsing item, but to have to pick it out from a load of others? And what if they picked wrong? God help them.

"Ok, now what in hell's name are we supposed to do?" asked john in shock and horror.

"Ok, let's be logical. We don't know any of these people, so lets just do this," said Sam.

"But how in gods name are we supposed to know which one?" asked john again, he was still shocked. Really, did girls need this many choices on something like this?

"Look, dey each say something on it. Heavy, light, mixed. Let's get the mixed in a couple of different brands and den a few of the over night ones," said remy bending over to look at them. The others looked at him for a minuet, then just picked some up. They threw them into the cart and walked past a blond girl in an over sized T-shirt to the cash register.

They were half way done checking out when the blond girl ran up to them, "you drooped this," she said as she held out a box of over night pads. All the boys said "thanks" and blushed.

"No prob," she said, "I expect your girlfriends would kill you if you forgot some, oftly brave of you, no boys I know would be up to that. By!" she ran of to go talk to her friend over some CD's.

"Wow," said Sam, "the people here sure are nice." When it was done getting rung up, the boys paid for, then carried their stuff back to the boat.

John looked over the recite. "hey look, that charge card old man x gave us has a spending limit of 20 THOUSAND DOLARS!!! I thought it would be way less then that. Come on now, let's move. It's getting dark and we don't want to get lost."

"Yeah, no when we be carrying all dis stuff," said remy as the boat came into view. They all walked on bored and down to the fun room where all the others were set up. Rogue was sprawled an armchair with a book. Wanda and Jamie were siting playing Life in a corner. They all got up to help carry in the packages.

Wanda took most of the stuff, handed some to rogue then said, "Jamie, will you help them recover, then could you put all the movies and CD's up, please. We don't want anything to get lost, now do we?" said Wanda in an overly sweet voice. Most of the stuff was put up and all four of the boys sat down. The girls didn't come back.

"So, what did you do back at the boat?" asked Sam.

"Well, rogue found the crab right as it was going into its shell. We all stood there like idiots and cheered it on, and then with a sharpie we wrote down all of our names, even yours, and the year and set him off. then we mainly cleaned up this place. It could really be incredibly homey when we are finished. Rogue and Wanda started dinner, I set up this game. Then we played or read till you got back," said the smallest boy.

"Cool, sounds fun to me. Hey, look how dark it got out there," said Sam.

Wanda's head popped into the room, "hey dinner," she said before popping back out.

They followed her into the galley. There was some chicken noodle soup in a pan and several bowls left out for them. There was also some lemonade out. They loaded up and walked out topside where the girls sat eating.

"Hey guys!" said rogue, "sorry 'bought the soup. It was all ah could find in all those boxes, ah only had so much time ta cook and every thing." Remy sat down next to her, john next to Wanda and Sam and Jamie sat in-between the two groups forming a cycle. They ate in silence until-

"Hey guys, what time should we leave tomorrow?" it was Jamie that had asked the question.

"Why not leave now?" asked john "oy, remy start up the engine and lets head toward china. To the west, check with the compass thing next to the boat steary thing."

"Da helm? Ok! Aye aye captain, all ahead full. I wonder what dat means."

"What time is it?" asked rogue with a yawn.

"It's now 10:15, my how the time flies!" said john, "I think I am gunna turn in-"

"Hold up, what if remy falls asleep?" asked Wanda.

"I won't do dat chere."

"All the same, I would feel much better if we didn't leave the fate of the ship in one persons hands," said Wanda calmly. She had two reasons for this. Number 1, she knew these two would make a cute couple. Number two, she wanted the room to herself tonight.

"Ok, fine. Ah'll stay up two so we don't crash or somthang," said rogue flatly. She picked up all the dishes and walked back downstairs to wash them.

Everybody else walked down to his or her room. Every one else fell asleep in about ten minuets. Everybody else was rapped up in warm blankets right now. Everybody else was having dreams about things that made them smile. Everybody else was happy, comfortable, peaceful and content. Was rogue jealous? No way in hell.



Hi, to all of you that have review, you rock! To those who haven't, please do. This chapter is way longer then any of the other's, it's kind of an "I'm so sorry" bribe because my last chapter stunk. I might re do it, but it isn't high on my priorities list. The next chapter will be about what happens between rogue and remy as they are all talking by the helm and stuff. Sorry if this chapter stunk to, I really do stink at writhing romance. It always seems corny. You reviewer people are really great, tell me when and what boat you want me to check in on, other wise I will focus on boat 5. Remy has red eyes, and logan has a black uniform!! ::jumps around in glee:: maybe rogue can give Remy a new hair cut, BOWL CUT BOY!!! Sorry, I can't get over that.

The girl with a healing sunburn... Klucky.

PS look out for gaming action!
