Vessel Preparation

[Belle's Harbor. 3:48 am]

Evie's POV

I made the long walk to the harbor. When I got there, there were a few light posts on. It wasn't much, but it was enough to see my way around. I looked at all the boats docked at the ports.

"I need a boat I can use to make the long journey to Canada." I said.

I hate having to steal, but I seriously doubt Mal and I will come back. So therefore, it didn't make any difference to me. After looking at a lot of boats, I sat down at the edge of a dock, with my feet dangling over the water. I sighed as I looked out into the ocean.

"What am I going to do? Mal can't stay here anymore. If she does, God only knows what will happen to her." I said.

Just then, some water splashed right in front of me. I screamed as I saw a black and white porpoise looking at me. I sighed and smiled.

"Oh, hi. You scared me." I said to it.

The porpoise make a squeaking noise.

"You're probably wondering what I'm doing out here at this time of night." I said.

The porpoise nodded. Almost like it understands me.

"Well, it's a long story, but to make it short, it started with my girlfriend, Mal, being under a spell that was created by her evil mother. I was able to free her from the spell and now pretty much the whole school hates her now. My so called friend, Audrey, invited me to a party she was throwing, but I think it was just a set up. Because when I got back to my dorm room, I found Audrey taunting Mal. Mal beat Audrey up and since Audrey is royalty, Mal consequence will no doubt be bad."

The porpoise continued to look at me as I explained what was going on to it. It was amazing. It may not understand everything I was saying, but it felt comforting to know it was listening.

"So I'm here to find a boat to use to take myself and Mal across the world to Canada. Mal dreamed about herself and me living there. And it's time to make that dream come true. But I need to find a good boat." I said.

I looked at the porpoise even more.

"Hey, can you help me find a good boat?" I asked it.

The porpoise nodded and dived underwater. I stood up and looked around for it. A few docks down, it surfaced and started squeaking. I walked over to it and saw the boat the porpoise picked for me. It sounds silly, I know. But who else would know about boats around here at this time? The boat looked really nice. It was a big white and blue yacht. It looked to be about forty feet long. It had a covered bridge and windows near the bottom which looked like they belong to cabins for sleeping.

"Looks nice." I said.

I got aboard it and pulled out my phone and turned on the flashlight. I saw the bridge and the controls were clean and organized. There were two big screen monitors and three smaller screen monitors. Which I have no idea what they were for, but the steering wheel was a nice grey and silver color. There were two white seats behind the controls. I sat down in one of them and they felt cushiony.

"This feels really good." I said.

I got up and turned around and saw a good size seating area with a square table behind it. There was a lot of white, but it looked nice. On the floor was a square with a silver handle. I grabbed it and discovered it was a door leading to the engine room. I closed the door and continued walking around. There were some nice amenities. A tv, mini fridge, small grill, good amount of storage space. I looked back at the seating area and smiled as I envisioned Mal and I making out there. I walked towards the stern and saw the boat had a nice deck with metal railing around it.

"Now where's the entrance to the cabin?"

I walked back to the bridge and looked around. To the far left of the controls, portside of the boat, I saw a rectangular shaped door. I opened it and shined my light in it.

"Oh my gosh!" I said.

I walked down three steps and turned around and saw the main living area. It was nice too. The seating was set up just like the outside, expect this was more private. A small square table too, except the square table was able to convert into a bigger triangle table. I walked down a small hallway and gasped again.

"This is amazing!" I said.

I found myself looking at a full on kitchen. Oak cabinets, stainless steel refrigerator, sink and microwave. The countertops were gray with a little white mixed in. I saw an open door that led to the private sleeping quarters. It was a small room. Due to the full size bed taking over most of the square footage, but it was still amazing. There were two nightstands by both sides of the head, as well as a built in dresser in the left side of the room. I looked to the right and saw a bathroom as well with a small walk in shower. I opened a door that was by the open door of the bedroom and laughed. Thinking it was a closet, when really there was a washer and dryer stacked on top of each other.

"Oh, this is perfect!" I said.

The perfect boat to use for our journey. I walked out of the boat and jumped onto the dock. The porpoise was waiting in the same spot. I kneeled down to it and it allowed me to pet it.

"Thank you so much! You know, you're helping make a girl's dream come true. Thank you. I'm so grateful to you." I said to it.

The porpoise squealed in delight. I gave the porpoise a big kiss on the forehead and rubbed it's sides. I then took my phone out and took a few pictures of it.

"I'll always remember you. Thank you." I said.

The porpoise squeaked again and jumped out and in the water before diving again. I never saw the black and white porpoise again. But I felt that meeting it was meant to be. I took a picture of the boat so I'll remember what it looks so I can use it to take Mal to Canada. Our final days in Auradon has begun.
