Here's the second chapter, on time like I promised. Thanks for everyone's support! Please Read and Review!
Chap Two
We arrived a little later than expected. Yeah, the traffic was that bad. But, it's okay. It kept me slightly hopeful that the boat would leave dock on it's own command. I wish I had magical powers to make it do that. That would be fun.
However, that never happened and I was, unfortunately stuck boarding the boat.
Lianus, my driver, seemed impressed by the size of the boat. I kept my head low, and avoided even noticing the site of the gigantic over-sized cruiser.
Lianus laughed at me. "You're priceless, child." he commented. "You'll have a great time. You barely know what's in store for you."
Was he listening to Marin and my conversation? He seemed a bit...I dunno. Maybe it was just me. How did he know that I didn't know what was in store for me?
...Well, yeah, just a few minutes ago I didn't even know how long the trip was.
Something tugged inside me that I was over-assuming too much and I needed to chill. Yeah, maybe I should chill.
Maybe.
I saw my father then. He was standing there with this large fake smile plastered onto his face, as if to tell me 'Where the hell were you and why didn't you call me?'
Yeah, I was in trouble.
"Zelda, I tried calling you atleast four times and you didn't answer any of those! Do you know how long we've delayed the leave of the boat? Atleast an hour!" He commented harshly once we had both made our way to our rooms.
I didn't even bother to respond. Normally I would have, but I honestly didn't want to have the trip start off on a worse note than intended.
He, apparently, was completely oblivious to this move I had just made and continued to speak about my tardiness.
"...furthermore, it's unlady-like to not answer the telephone when I call. I don't care who you're talking to or what their name is."
His head was growing bigger by the second. I really wished I had already been thrown off the bridge I was talking about earlier.
Lianus was definitely wrong. I'm not having a great time. My father is completely off his wazoo and I'm stuck on a boat for the next two and a half months. Oh yeah, this is a swell adventure I'm having. Why not add some sages and wizards to make it all the more exciting?
I smiled as I thought of this. My father didn't seem to notice as he continued to rant about...well, who knows what.
Then, he told me he was going to enjoy time with this colleagues and subsequently left.
I surveyed our room. It was, well, pleasant, I guess you could say. It had an amazing view from the window (not that I cared because I still hate this boat). It was a nice shade of pink. He told me that his room was down the hall and that this was where I was to be staying. The dresser was a bright white with a cute heart-shape lamp on top and to even had my own desk to...well, write, I guess.
I dumped my duffle bag out onto my bag. I swore angrly to myself, wondering why in the hell I didn't pack more clothes. I had only packed a weeks worth of clothes. A ten week cruise with one week's worth of clothes? No way. This wasn't going to cut it.
I wonder if they had a clothing store. They must have. I'll have to explore later.
This is ridiculous.
I hate this boat.
I pulled out my dEku music player and listened to it as a I put away my clothes into my drawers. I pondered about what I was going to wear. I had to make a good first impression. It gave me right to be a bitch for the rest of the trip, didn't it?
Well, I assumed so. Anyway, I changed into a slick pair of tight jeans and a white tank top. Clipping my watch onto my wrist and slinging my purse over my shoulder, I exited the room. My dEku was packed in my purse, along with my cellphone and my Card Key.
Oh, I didn't mention that our rooms have card keys? The GrandeVista has a big thing about security for it's guests. It's like...a Key...but it looks like a credit card. Basically no one else but the Key Holder can get into the room. Kapeesh? Yeah, I don't really get it either, so...don't feel weird.
Yet another reason to hate this place. Rargh.
This place was weird. It reminded me alot of PokeMon. Pokemon? Yeah. Remember, the cruise in Vermillion City? Well, it was sorta like that. Except...no one here is attacking you with fish. Oh, and this is a lot fancier than nice 2D graphics.
So, while I was in my PokeMon fantasies, I must have ran into someone. I don't remember exactly what happened next. All I remember seeing was a flash of strawberry-blonde hair before my face collided with the floor.
So much for first impressions.
Review, Review:)
