Disclaimer: Hi…I wrote one of these thingys in the beginning…go back if you want to see it again. Meh.
On with it!
The next day, Gabriel woke with a start. How the hell did I get to sleep in the first place? He'd been having disturbing dreams (aka nightmares) all night. Getting up, Gabriel took a quick shower and continued to finish packing. Now where- He stopped, wide-eyed. Oh no no no no no no no no no NO! Gabriel started panicking. WHERE IS MY TICKET! He tore the room apart looking for it. Giving up but still panicking, he ran downstairs.
"Has anyone seen my plane ticket!"
Alice came to view. "Plane ticket? You lost it?"
"Yes-I mean No. I swear I saw it in my bag right before I fell asleep! I mean I couldn't…" He stopped as he stared at his mother.
She was giving him a shutup-you-know-you-lost-it-now-admit-it look to him like a mother giving that look to her irresponsible son.
Gabriel sighed with annoyance, mothers…
"Now isn't this the same plane ticket that also has your ticket onto the cruise?"
Gabriel nodded gravely.
She smiled, "We don't have time to look for it, and your flight's leaving in 3 hours. I'm calling Jake."
"WHAT?"
She looked back. "He can pull some strings and get you on that flight."
"I don't need his help."
His mother looked back at him pleadingly.
Oh shoot. Now I have to agree with her because she wants me to give him a 'chance'… He's probably going to book me a flight to some foreign country and get me killed by some Mafia. After some painful thinking, Gabriel gritted his teeth in frustration "f-f-fine."
Alice left with an innocent motherly smile.
My mother is going to get me killed…
Half an hour later, Gabriel printed out his ticket from the computer which Jake had sent through via email. He carefully observed the ticket. Doesn't seem suspicious. With that, Gabriel picked up him baggage, said goodbye to his mother, and got into his Taxi.
I can't believe I made it... Gabriel arrived at his destination at last, surprised to have had such a smooth trip. He was finally at the port where his cruise was to set sail in 20 minutes!
"Gabriel!"
"oomf" He was suddenly being squeezed to death by an ecstatic red head. "Nice to see you too-"
Rob, Anna, Lewis, and Lydia came into view.
"Come on!" Lewis projected, "We have to go!"
Kaitlyn detached from Gabriel and grabbed her things. Gabriel did the same. It was a long walk to the ship they were traveling in. Kaitlyn was noticing several young girls about her age eyeing Gabriel in interest, and she could tell by the tickets they were carrying that they were also going on the same cruise. (A/N Let's just make all of the tickets bright pink!)
Anna? I don't like this…
I don't either, but what can we do Kaitlyn?
We could fight them off and send them threatening messages if they try to come near them?
Funny, but I don't think that would work. Maybe we should just show signs of affection right now.
Oh my gosh, why didn't we do that in the beginning?
Too busy with luggage?
sigh okay, 1…2…3!
MEANWHILE, WITH THE GUYS
Gabriel and Rob were during this time noticing guys eyeing Anna, Kaitlyn, and Lydia. (strange how the guys notice that and not who's noticing them. Same with the girls too) they too talked telepathically and decided to wring any guy's neck if they even try to make a move.
Suddenly (for them), Anna and Kaitlyn both grabbed "their" guys by the arm and swiftly kissed them. Shocked, they paused for a split second before they started kissing back. Lydia quickly caught on and did the same with Lewis, who was probably the most surprised.
Rob sent a quick telepathic message to Gabriel. Or we could've just done that…
Gabriel mentally nodded in agreement.
Kaitlyn stopped briefly and looked at Gabriel. He smiled teasingly. Had enough?
She punched him on the shoulder as all of them finally reached their destination.
"Wow!" Kaitlyn breathed. It was a breathtaking sight. The ship was at least 2 miles long! The lining of it was a rich deep maroon with a bright white appearing on everything else. The cruise had six humungous swimming pools and an indoor spa and hot tub. Complete with…
"Casinos…" Gabriel smiled. Kaitlyn's head turned with lightning speed.
"You gamble?"
He shrugged.
She lowered her eyes and looked away.
Standing at the lobby, the man at the front desk was checking the rooms. "It seems that we don't have anymore than 2 single rooms left (they needed six). I'm sorry, but if you would like, I can give you three double rooms?"
Everyone was suddenly talking at once.
How is this going to work? Lewis started at once.
We could all room with our girlfriends? Gabriel suggested slyly.
Kaitlyn mentally lifted an eyebrow.
Everybody cool down, we just need to think. Anna said calmly.
Just know that I need my own room.
I thought you just said you could room with someone else Gabriel!
I'll make an exception for you Kait.
Kaitlyn sighed exasperatingly.
Rob was already deep in thought. He found a way to block their voices out when he needed to think.
In the end, Kaitlyn got annoyed and asked for the three double rooms and one single near that area. Rob and Anna were rooming together (they had separate beds, get your mind out of the gutter!) and so were Lydia and Lewis. Kaitlyn decided that she wanted the single bedroom since it had better northern light. (She knew this might change over the course of the cruise, but agreed that it was enough for now.)
While everyone was unpacking in their rooms, Gabriel, finishing early, decided to look in on Kaitlyn.
"Hey." Gabriel leaned in for a kiss, but Kaitlyn turned away. Bewildered, he asked what was wrong when something clicked. Is this about the casinos?
She nodded slowly.
He sighed. Alright…If it bothers you that much, I pr-promise I won't take one step inside the casinos.
Kaitlyn suddenly smiled as she pecked him on the lips. "I need to unpack." She stated. "Oh! I forgot to ask-" But she was cut off by Gabriel's lips. She smacked him on the chest but gave in. God it felt wonderful. (This happens while they are kissing.)
Ha! You can't cut me off anymore! Now I'm going to talk without interruptions…Gabriel?
Stop bothering me witch! Can't you see I'm busy?
If you don't start answering my questions, I'm going to stop.
Blackmail.
That's right.
Fine, ask away.
Tell me, how was your mom?
She's…good.
Gabriel?
She has a boyfriend and is living with him now.
Oh…
But it gets worse.
Surprisingly, Gabriel was the one who pulled away. He led her to the couch and they sat down. He told her everything that happened. His suspicions, his fear for his mother, and most importantly, about the letter he found.
By the time he was done telling her. Kaitlyn was wide-eyed. "But how could he know?"
"Mother might have told him, she trusts him."
"We need to tell the others."
"No, not yet. Let them enjoy their holiday. We'll tell them later."
Kaitlyn hesitated, but eventually nodded.
Good, now what's this about you not sharing a room with me?
Kaitlyn grabbed a pillow and smacked Gabriel.
Gabriel quickly caught on and grabbed another.
They soon were having a very heated pillow fight.
Gabriel suddenly had an idea and once again sent the evil feather.
Noooo! Not fair! Kaitlyn was once again trying to burn them all, but she didn't succeed.
Now Gabriel was hitting her with pillows and tickling her at the same time. Cheapskate.
AAAAHH! Suddenly, fire shot from her eyes and burned Gabriel's pillow.
There was a shocked silence for a while. Gabriel stood frozen as he stared down at the ashes that once were a white pillow.
Rob, Lewis, Anna and Lydia burst through the door. (Lydia saw everyone running and went to see what was wrong) Everyone was breathless. It seemed that Kaitlyn accidently let the scream move throughout the whole web! Well what could she do, she was being tickled and smacked to death. They all looked from Kaitlyn to Gabriel questioningly.
Gabriel moved his head towards the ashes that were on the floor. "Maybe Kaitlyn should be explaining…"
They looked at Kaitlyn.
"I…uh…me and Gabriel were having this..pillow fight..and the next thing I know is that his pillow's on fire."
Gabriel looked incredulously at everyone and made a hand gesture that looked like something come out from her eyes. "Looks like young grasshopper has a new power."
A/N Don't kill me! Review? They make me happy…And for those who hate me and don't WANT to make me happy, then I hate reviews! hint hint nudge nudge
