Dylan, Beka and Trance entered the boarding area. There were thousands of different people, from all kinds of races, from neizchien's to phans. People were standing around in queues, one for each class, waiting for the boarding area doors to open, allowing them to make there way onto the luxury cruiser. There was a distinctive sense of excitement in the air, but most exited of all was a little purple girl.
"Ooh I can't wait to get onboard!" Trance said happily "I really want to see the live shows! And the musicals! And relax near the pools! The ship has the best water-slide in the whole galaxy! Oh did you know there is an artificial beach on board? Complete with sand, and waves! We can go surfing Harper!"
"Yeah, if we ever get through these queues. Look at the size of them" Harper replied.
"The
first class line is not as long" Trance said, pointing over to the
line.
"Oh crap, were in the wrong line" Dylan said. The four
of them quickly ran into the first class queue. A voice began to echo
around the room.
"Would all passengers heading for fhloston paradise please report to boarding area 31 immediately, the cruiser will be leaving the docking station in 10 minutes time. This is a last call for all passengers heading for fhloston paradise" the announcer said over the intercom. One by one, each person lined up and scanned their tickets into the machine. When it was finally time for Dylan, Beka, Harper and Trance to check-in, each one of them took turns to insert their tickets. The doors opened.
Inside was a party like no other. There were hundreds of people dancing, a live band playing, and girls in skimpy costumes were dancing around. People were throwing petals in the air, and some people wore necklaces made of flowers. Harper smiled as two beautiful hoola-hoop wearing girls ran and kissed him on either cheek. They proceeded to throw a necklace of flowers onto him. Everything was warm and bright, and extremely cheerful. The four friends made there way into the main hall, where the party was still in full swing. The hall was laden with extremely beautiful architecture, with pillars made of pure gold and silver decals and patterns lining the ceiling and walls. There was a large dining table in the centre, and a large show stage at the bottom of the room.
"Hey
Harper, Looks like your Hawaiian shirt finally blends in with your
surroundings" Beka laughed as a shirtless hunky man brushed past
her. She was quickly distracted. Trance had already wondered off into
the endless crowds and from where Harper was, he couldn't see
her.
"I'm just going to, Bye" Beka said as she followed on
after the shirtless stranger. Dylan smiled to himself as Harper took
a seat next to where he had sat down.
"This is the life, Hey harp?" Dylan said as he relaxed, leaning back into his chair. A gorgeous babe came and took a seat next to Dylan. He turned and smiled to her.
"Now, if you would excuse me master Harper, I've got some… business to attend to" Dylan said. He went on to kiss the girl on the hand, as Harper turned with a sigh, and approached the diner table. As he was reaching out for some sausage rolls, a very exited purple girl smacked him on the arm.
"Hey trance" he said, taking a bite of his sausage roll.
"You, Me, Dancing, Now" Trance said with a happy expression on her face. Harper laughed.
"Trance, I don't dance" He replied with a mouthful of food.
"Come on Seamus…. If you won't dance with me, Ill just have to go find another boy to dance with me… I'm sure there are plenty willing" Trance replied, trying to look as cute as she could.
"Well, Beka's off talking to some guy … and James Bond over there will soon be in bed with that redhead… so I don't suppose I've got anything better to do" Harper replied. He decided that there was no point in arguing with trance, she would just bug him to death until he did what she wanted. He followed trance to the dance floor, and she put her hands on his shoulders.
"Err; do you know how to dance?" Trance asked smiling.
"No" Harper said straightly.
"Me either" Trance replied. "Let's just make it up!" After about 2 minutes of random wobbling, Trance decided that she was bored of this dancing lark.
"Dancing's not my thing" She said "Let's go… To the swimming pool!"
"But I thought we were…" Harper said before being dragged along by an exited Trance.
Trance dragged a reluctant Harper towards the swimming pool decks. They entered the changing area and Harper stopped dead in his tracks. A confused trance turned to him.
"Oh no trance, I hate swimming" Harper said.
"Come on Harper" Trance said rolling her eyes.
"No… I, um..." Harper said trying to think up an excuse "I didn't pack my Speedos"
"Harper, I saw you packing your swimming trunks this morning. I saw you looking in the mirror, you were checking yourself out" Trance said.
"What you knew about that?" Harper cried. "Anyway, I still, err forgot them!" he said.
"What's up harp, don't you want to see me in a bikini?" trance asked, putting on her cutest smile.
Harper tried his hardest to say no, but the thought of his crush in a bikini was too appealing.
"Oh whata'ya know. I just found my swimming trunks" he said.
"Thought so" Trance smiled, before entering the changing area.
"Can we share a changing cubicle?" Harper shouted through the door. Trance locked the door.
"I take that as a maybe?" Harper continued. Trance didn't answer. Harper decided that he wasn't going to bother getting changed, and went and took a seat on one of the many deck chairs that were situated at either side of the large pool. There were hundreds of people in the pool and it was a wonder that any of them could move due to the sheer floods of people swimming around. Harper was just relaxing back into his deck chair, when a dive bomber jumped into the water a few feet away from him, sending a huge splash of water into Harpers direction. A now drenched Harper changed deck chairs. As he did so, he caught a young purple girl in a bikini skipping out of the changing area. He concealed his face, and waited for her to begin searching for him. Sure enough she began to look around. She stopped searching a few meters away from Harpers deck chair, and then curiously bent down to feel the temperature of the water. Harper stood up, and snuck up behind her. He gave her a shove, and a screaming Trance fell into the water and belly flopped on impact.
"Haarrrrrrr blobblobbubbleblobber" Trance burbled as she took a mouthful of water. Harper broke out into a fit of laughter as trances head popped up from under the water, she was laughing. Harper looked down at her as she smiled up at him.
"God she's soooo hot" he said to himself. Trance gave him a cute smile. She proceeded to pull herself up and out of the water.
"I'm going to get back in Harper" Trance said smugly. "Why don't you… " Trance grabbed Harper by the shirt, and then yanked him into the water with her.
"JOIN ME!" She shouted as they both surfaced. Trance laughed her little purple noggin off, while Harper tried to take in what had just happened.
"Why you little minx!" Harper cried. "You sexy little minx!"
"Harper!" Trance said, hitting him on the arm.
"Sorry, didn't mean for that to slip out" Harper said.
She swam off giggling. Harper decided that since his clothes were soaking wet anyway, he might as well stay in the water. He took of his shirt and swam after trance, and they proceeded to splash each other with water playfully.
