Sadie POV
The Italian bloke (who we later found out was called Gustavo), took us to his boat. Don't be fooled by those little boats you see floating through the canals, they're really quite spacious (at least ours was, maybe Hathor just made it turn magically spacious.) Gustavo let me and Anubis in first, Hathor (. Rosetta) went in next with a small harp then Gustavo went in with his paddle and guitar. "All aboard the cruise of love and romance!" Gustavo shouted. "I don't mean to be rude Gustavo but could you please keep the volume down, if you know what I mean." I told Gustavo, "Oh I know what you mean, you and this fellow here want to have a silent little get together, eh?" Gustavo said, "Rosetta, cue the music!" he said to Hathor. As he started paddling, Hathor started playing all these romantic Italian songs with the guitar; I don't know who was redder, me or Anubis. We toured Venice until sundown, Gustavo and Hathor decided to turn the boat ride into a smooth sailing, romantic cruise. "Rosetta, play some music to lighten up the mood." Gustavo whispered to Hathor (although very unsuccessfully because Anubis and I could hear him crystal clear.) Hathor winked at the two of us and started strumming the harp; Hathor began to sing "The Rainbow Connection" by The Carpenters, which was good because I think I've had quite enough Italian songs for one day, thank you very much.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.
I had to admit, Hathor's voice was beautiful, I wondered if all gods and goddesses could sing this beautifully, then I imagined Anubis singing like a professional, I mentally laughed at the idea. Hathor continued to sing:
So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.
I realized that Anubis was looking at me; I blushed "What are you looking at?" I asked in curiosity, Anubis snapped out of his trance then he blushed as well, "N-nothing." I smiled 'Boys, why do they have to be so complicated' I thought to myself. Hathor continued:
Who said that wishes would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star?
Someone thought of that and someone believed it. Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
I don't know why but I suddenly felt drowsy, I yawned and placed my head on top of Anubis' shoulder.
Have you been sleeping, and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors. The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it. It's something that I'm supposed to be.
I started to fall asleep just as the song was about to end:
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me.
The song ended and I was fat asleep, the last thing I could hear was a voice, it was foggy and muffled but I thought I heard Anubis say "Goodnight Sadie. Sweet Dreams."
Anubis POV
Sadie fell asleep on my shoulder, Hathor (did you really think it was only Sadie who knew?) gave me a blanket and I let Sadie lie down. I gently placed the blanket on top of her, you might think I'm crazy but Sadie looks really cute when she's asleep. I kissed her forehead gently and I lay down beside of her gazing at the night sky.
Sadie POV
I woke up after an hour or so, Gustavo paddled to the small dock near a restaurant called "Paradiso di Romanticismo" . "Ah, 'Paradise of Romance' it is a truly wonderful restaurant with delicious food!" Gustavo said, "I have enjoyed serving both of you. I can see that you two make a wonderful couple." Gustavo added. I blushed, "Thank you Gustavo and Rosetta. We had a good time as well." I thanked them. Anubis and I stepped into the restaurant, it was beautiful but it was definitely a romantic place for couples. We sat down and a waitress dressed in pink approached us, I betting you already figured out who she really was; Hathor. She gave me one of her signature winks, "What can I do for you?' she asked, "We would-" before I could continue Hathor interrupted (yet again) "I know exactly what to get for you two! A nice big spaghetti with meatballs platter! Perfect for two lovebirds." Before we could retort she left and walked to the chef already placing our order in. Anubis looked at me, an irritated expression on his face, "Can I throttle her?" he asked quietly. I shook my head "Let her be Anubis, it is in her nature." Anubis shrugged "It was only a suggestion. It wouldn't hurt to voice it out, right?" I laughed "Right you are Anubis, right you are." I answered. 'Well, we'll just have to see what happens next, I mean, what's the worst that can happen on a spaghetti dinner?' I thought to myself. Little did I know I was wrong. Very, very wrong.
I hope you enjoyed!:D Please review, it will really help me finish chapter 5! Thanks!:)
