Chapter 5:
Ally's POV
"Come on Ally! It's time to go!" My mom called from downstairs. With a big sigh I reluctantly grabbed my suitcase off of my bed and dragged it downstairs with me.
"Coming," I shouted, making no effort to hide how unenthused I was about this whole trip.
"Honey, it'll be great. You're going to be thanking us by the time this is over," my mom says as I join my parents by the door.
"If we aren't all dead by then," I mumble and luckily neither of them heard me. My dad pushes me out the door with my stuff and locks up the house behind me. My mom helps me to load my stuff into the car and then we hop in.
My dad gets in the car about a minute later and turns it on.
"Everybody ready to to?" he asks.
My mom replies excitedly but I just stay silent. And that's how the whole ride went. My parents were talking excitedly up front while I just sat quietly looking out the window in the back. Occasionally one of my parents would ask me something and I would just ignore it. After a minute they'd just return to their conversation.
Much sooner than I would've liked we arrived at the dock. The sight I saw both shocked and terrified me. Their were huge ships everywhere. Giant cruise liners of all different companies and varieties.
My dad found a good place to leave the car while we were away, then we grabbed our stuff and headed for our ship. As we walked along I could see the ships off behind the buildings at the dock just towering over everything. It was the most incredible sight, absolutely terrifying, but incredible. I knew the ships were huge but the sheer size of them up close still amazed me.
As we reached the correct building for our ship a nice young man came up and took our bags to load on the ship for us. He got us to label them before throwing them on a big cart full of bags. We then got into the security line. It was moving a lot faster than I would've liked it to. To be completely honest I would be perfectly fine if it didn't move at all. However I had no such luck and we soon reached the front.
It was just like an airport. You had to remove your shoes and put everything to go through their scanner. I then had to walk through a metal detector which for once did not go off, the first plus of the day. The rest of the check in went by really fast and before I knew it I found myself being pulled through the long loading tunnel and onto the death ship as I'm now calling it. Eventually we came out on the deck. I must admit it looked amazing. The lobby was huge and really fancy. If you went in the centre you could see all the way up to the top deck. If it wasn't on a boat I would've absolutely loved it.
"Your rooms won't be ready until after lunch so why don't you head up to the lido deck for some lunch? We've got a great buffet set up for today," one of the workers said with a smile. We thanked her and headed for the elevators.
"They better have pickles," I said as we started to go up. My parents just laughed.
Austin's POV
"AWESOME!" I yelled as we drove up to the dock. It was filled with gigantic ships everywhere. "Dez, you've got to check this out."
Dez just leant right across my lap and looked out my window next to me.
"Whoa, it's like a floating city," he exclaimed.
"And we get to go one one!" I said. "Sweet!"
We did our handshake finishing with our classic "What up".
"That's enough boys," my mom said, "now Dez get back in your seat."
"Yes Mimi," he said getting off of my lap and leaning back into his own seat. I just laughed quietly at the whole situation.
My dad found a place to leave the car and we all gathered up our stuff and headed for the check in. When we got there a nice young man got us to label our stuff then took our bags.
"We'll get these to your rooms for you," he said as he threw them onto a huge cart full of bags. We all thanked him and got into the security line. It was moving pretty fast and before we knew it we were at the front. We pulled of our shoes and stuff and then proceeded to go through the metal detector. My parents got through fine, then Dez went through and the thing went off, beeping like crazy.
"Oh sorry, it must be my paper clip belt and chain, I forget to take them off," he said holding them up on his pants. I just face palmed.
Of course after that they sent us all to be checked and patted down by security. After they finally let us through I immediately turned to Dez.
"I swear buddy, next time I will personally pat you down myself before we leave because I am NOT going through that again," I said getting right in his face and poking him in the chest. He just quickly nodded and leaned away from me with a scared expression.
As we walked towards the check in booth I caught a look at my reflection in a window. I looked like a mess. I quickly straightened out my clothes and fixed my now extremely messy hair. It still looked all ruffled, but in that cute way that girls like.
When I was finished I went and joined my parents and Dez at the check in booth. We thanked them and headed to the boarding tunnel. I was about to start the best vacation of my life.
A/N: I feel like the transition between Ally's POV and Austin's POV was kind of awkward, the ending too, but oh well. Thanks for reading! If you're feeling generous you can leave a review and hit those favourite and follow buttons! Until next time! Bon Voyage!
