Perhaps no one noticed. Oh well, they missed the fun.

Kaoru: They didn't. They noticed the chapter- now can you hurry up? I hate this dress!

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^

~Where is he? How can he forget? He's an underclass and he wouldn't miss something like this! ~ Then she heard it- "Hmmm hmmm, lalalalala la, ohohohohohohoh ra ra ra ra ra." "Shinta!" she cried as she began to run to the dock. (a/n: or was it the deck?)

There he was- sitting on the life boat singing his head off. "Idiot," she whispered under her breath. And so the singing began.

Shinta:

On this love boat with the waves beating merrily

the wind noise in our ears we are going fast.

away from the horizon.

On this love boat with the waves beating merrily

the wind noise in our ears we are going fast

away from the horizon.

Chorus:

Far from the horizon

Kaoru

Will we find love there?

The flower of friendship blossom?

Will we find love there?

The flower of friendship blossom?

The one the heart is searching for

Will we find that soul mate?

Chorus:

La la la la la la la

Shinta:

There our dreams will come true

Strangers will become friends

The heart will be decorated as for wedding

we will meet our friends

Chorus:

La la la la la la la

Kaoru: I heard

Shinta: What did you hear?

Kaoru: what I said

Shinta: What did you say?

Kaoru: We have to go very far

Shinta:

On this love boat with the waves beating merrily

the wind noise in our ears we are going fast.

Shinta/Kaoru:

Far from the horizon

Kaoru:

If one love meets another

Let not the evil eyes look at them.

If one love meets another

Let not the evil eyes look at them.

Now that we have met in life

Let us not ever get separated

Chorus:

La la la la la la la

Shinta:

The evil eye cant touch us there

There is only love there

The ones who meet won't separate

where everyone is a friend

Chorus:

La la la la la la

Kaoru: Then lets go

Shinta: Yes lets go

Kaoru: After meeting like this

Shinta: Yes after meeting and becoming smitten with happiness!

Kaoru:

On this love boat with the waves beating merrily

the wind noise in our ears we are going fast.

On this love boat with the waves beating merrily

the wind noise in our ears we are going fast.

Away from the horizon!

"Girlfriend, that voice was like so singer material!" Kaoru's friend, Sakura, said. "Thank you," Kaoru said. "I always knew-" "Not you," Sakura said with a giggle. "Shinta. Not only that- he's such a hottie!" "Oh yeah!" Swan, another one of Kaoru's friends, agreed. "If he were famous, half of the fan mail would probably ask if he were single!"

~He's mine! ~ The green-eyed monster began to take over Kaoru. ~I should've never invited them to this cruise! ~ When she then noticed them, her friends were taking pictures with him. Swan did the Titanic pose with him. "Oh, Titanic!" Sakura said taking a billion snapshots.

Then another girl (Megumi) took him by the collar and dragged him down to the lower deck. Kaoru made an angry moan and followed them. "Two smoothies, please," Megumi said. She began to flirt with Shinta and began rolling up her sleeves and handed Shinta a pen. "Sign here, and here, and here," Megumi showed Shinta different places on her arm to sign. Shinta seemed embarrassed, but he did it anyway.

"The girls are trying to get all over you," Sano said. "That's the first step to fame." "What," Shinta asked. "Getting the opposite sex all over you?" Sano laughed. "Nah," Sano said. "Singing for your pleasure!" "So, you wanna go to the Christmas party in a few minutes?" Shinta asked, also changing the subject. "We can't," Sano said sadly. "All the rich people are going. They'll be wearing tuxes and long dresses." "I know how to get some tuxes," Shinta said with a sly smile. "How?" Sano asked eagerly.

Shinta walked into two rich men's cabin with a cart. "Laundry?" he asked. "Oh wait here," one of them said rushing in to a wardrobe. The other man went into the bathroom. Shinta hurried to their closet and took out two tuxes- one for Shinta and one for Sano. Shinta hurried out with the tuxedos, leaving the cart behind in the room.

Sano and Shinta arrived at the party. All the girls rushed to Shinta. Kaoru was still upset about what had happened previously. She tried to blame only Megumi, but she was also mad at Shinta. ~Mr. Popularity! I'm gonna win his heart and no one else will~!

Suddenly, the lights went out and a man dressed as Santa Claus came out and yelled "Merry Christmas!" All the girls were kissing Shinta, all trying to get to his lips, but none succeeded. Kaoru angrily grabbed a bottle of wine and headed out to the deck.
