I'm on a roll, right now! Like I promised, there's a new chapter to our story! You'll be surprised. I plan to deal in a MAJOR love triangle. This chapter is long(er) than the other ones, uhm...it's earlier than I last stated...I'm working on Chapter Five right now and decided to post this one since everyone's been so kind and patient!

Don't forget to Review :) (yes, i've become a review-whore)


Chap Four

A nurse in the office politely asked us to sit down and fill out minor injury forms while we waited for the doctor to be finished with his work.

Malon sighed and flipped her hair over her shoulder. It was a bright reddish color, I guess it matched her fiery red temper. Her eyes, in contrast, were a deep dark blue. Sorta like mine, I guess you could say.

Malon was called back first to a secondary room by another nurse to be treated. I, on the other hand, was immediately rushed to the doctors room. I wonder if that was because they noticed who I was. I shrugged it off and glanced up at the doctors face.

He arched his eyebrow and shifted his weight to one side the minute he saw my injuries. I had looked at myself in the mirror earlier as Malon and I were wandering around to find the doctors office. I looked like I had been punched in the face. Malon looked completely fine.

Ouch...my nose hurt.

The doctor turned around as I stared at the floor. He was, well, gorgeous, I guess you could say. He had beautiful blonde locks of hair but...what striked me as peculiar was that he was wearing red eye contacts...Atleast, I hoped they were contacts...

He didn't say much. He just dabbed at my nose with disinfectant and wet paper towels.

"So...what happened? Have a little too much to drink this early?"

...WHAT? "Excuse me?" I replied, confused. "I don't...I mean, uh, no. That's not what happened!" I could feel my cheeks warming up as my face flushed.

"Oh, I see.." He smiled, apparently amused at my fustration. He continued to clean my nose until it finally stopped bleeding. He moved to my lip and begun clean it. I winced in pain and shut my mouth tight, not allowing him to finish.

"Oh, I'm sorry...did that hurt you?"

OUCH. Yes it DID.

"No. I was just surprised." I'm such a liar. "So, doctor...Am I cured?"

He smiled once again, I felt like melting right there into a pile of goo. "Yes. Be more careful from now on!" He chuckled as I stood up and turned to leave.

"Don't worry, I will." I called over my shoulder as I made my way back to the waiting room. I figured I might as well wait for Malon to be finished with her treatment.

I sat there for ten minutes fiddling with my shirt before a nurse asked me if I needed any assistance. I asked her if Malon had been treated. "She's been gone for almost twenty minutes, my dear."

She left, without me? Greeaaaat. Now I'm stuck here, I have no idea how to get back to my room, my injuries still hurt. I'm completely lost. I hate this boat.

I felt like crying right there. This was going to be the absolute worst trip of my life.

I started digging through my purse. For what, I didn't know. My cellphone? No...like there was a cell tower anywhere around here. In the middle of the ocean. My Key Card? What for? If I couldn't find my room then...

Then it hit me.

Hell, I'm on a boat with a weeks worth of clothes. Why not go shopping?

Then again...I have no idea where the clothes shop would be. I thought that maybe the doctor would know so I knocked on his door, patiently waiting for a response.

"Come in?" he called from behind the door.

I walked in, this time I took a glance at the room. He had books upon books in his study. He must have liked to read...so, we have a common interest! Right? Yeah! I like reading too!

I cheerfully waved to him as he looked up from his book. He smiled, "What have we here? Did you hurt yourself on the way out?"

I furrowed my brow. "No! I'm not that clumsy!" I shouted in my defense. He seemed completely amused by my overreaction. "What do you need now?"

"Erm...well.." What did I need? I didn't...know. Darnit. Uhm...quick, think of something. "What's your name?" ...What the hell kind of question is that?

"My name? Oh, it's...It's Shiek." He replied, closing his book and putting it in a drawer behind his desk.

"Oh...Shiek...You don't seem too busy right now. Could you...I mean, would you please assist me?"

He arched an eyebrow, I could tell he had no idea what I was talking about or what I needed.

"I, uhm, well, this is my first time on this...cruise. I'm...lost and...I need to go clothes shopping on the way...can you please direct me?"

Woah, I was speaking really politely. Thank goodness for those edicate classes I went to after school.

He was puzzled for a minute and then smiled. "Of course. Lets get going!"

I could feel both my eyebrows raise, completely unexpecting him to agree to guiding me on the boat. I felt selfish because he wouldn't be around to treat the ill...but still, the boat hadn't gotten that far so really...who was hurting right now?

The feeling of childish giddiness swept over me as he took my hand and we walked out.

Now, though I'm rich, this is a first for me. A handsome doctor, an intelligent man holding my hand! I...I mean, well...Hell. I'm a ridiculously tall skinny girl with random blonde hair everywhere. Is that supposed to be attractive?

Apparently not, since Malon was shorter and prettier than I was. Atleast, that's what I thought, anyway.

I shrugged it off. He's just...showing me around, right? It's only natural for him to hold my hand...so...so we don't get lost! Right?

...I hoped so.


Teehee. Sheik and Zelda are going out for a little adventure! Craziness and insanity (aren't they both the same?) await us in the next chapter, which should probably be done tonight/tomorrow and posted in the future. Please review and HUGE thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far. :) You make me happy!

Love yas :)
