The Cruise (PG-13)

(You serious? *hugs dani* What a jerk [not you, him])

Ace looked a little sad, he silently agreed with Julia. He gave a small smile to her "Com'on we still can some fun, just not right now."

A booming voice came over the speaker system, which spooked Ace a bit "Hello everyone this is your captain speaking and I would like to announce that the man has been caught and it is now safe to enter most areas, the areas that are not safe are marked with tape. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. Have a nice day!"

(*hugs* I know, he's sucha jerk. -.-)

I let out a long and relief filled sigh, and i slowly turned to look at Ace, "Few, they caught him.." I said and smiled slightly back at him. I was also a litle spooked by the loud voice, but then i realized it was the captain, i slowly shifted in the chair and yawned.

When Ace heard the announcement, he was so relived. Now he can get back to enjoying the cruise and he doesn't have to see Julia in fear, which is really nice, and he gets to continue with his book! Ace gave Julia a smile.

"Yeah. Thank goodness! So you want to get out of this room and go else where, personally this room is kinda freaking me out." Ace was remembering that the first murder took place in here.

I shivered remembering the earlier murder. Then my mind travled to the body in my room. "OH my GOsh ace! That body... *Shivers* Is sitll in my room!" My eyes were wide, and i was pale once again.

Oh right dead body in Julia's room.....time to go let a police man know. Ace shifting uncomfortably in chair. "How are we going to tell them that there's a dead body in you room?" his question in a hush tone, Ace rather not have any body hearing him even though there wasn't any one else around except for Julia.

"I have no idea." I admitted nervously nad gnawed on my lip, looking at him.

Ace sighed and looked at the police men that were still investigating. Well they were going to find the dead body sooner or later, and it wasn't like they killed the guy either. Ace stood and informed Julia that he was going to tell one of those police men, and started to make his way over. This was going to be awkward.

I nodded slowly, and watched Ace walk towards the police, my face was still pale, even though I had a slight sunburn, I was still pale. I shifted nervously and bit my lip slightly, my orbs gazing around me. I sighed softly.

Ace walked up to one of the police officers and explained everything that had happened to them. The police officers' reply was that they wanted to see this, of course they didn't automatically trusted Ace, which was to be expected.

Ace walked to Julia and told her that the police wanted to see her room. To Ace this was a nightmare and Ace just wanted to go on a normal vacation, relax, have fun and perhaps meet a hot bebe, but no it had to go on a vacation with a murderer on it. Oh well at least he got to meet an hot bebe.

(HAHAHA!! "well atleast he got to meet a hot bebe.. lol :P)

I nodded. "Go ahead and take them, but i'm not going." I said slowly and looked up at him biting my lip gently, i looked over at the police, then back at the table, then I pushed a trand of hair behind my ear and shifted slightly in my seat. "Just tell them to get that, ........body.... OUT, I REALLY need some sleep, waking up early this morning, now amurder, what next? The ship sinks?" I was exasperated, i leaned forward and put my elbows on the table then my head in my hands sighing.

Ace didn't blame her for not going, he didn't even want to go himself but someone had to go show them where it was and he didn't want Juliana to go back to her room until it was clean and safe. He also wondered the same thing as Juliana....what will happen next? Then he realized that she probably just jinxed them all, oh well. "Alright, I'll show them where your room is then I'll come back, hopefully it won't take long." He was going to mention that she most likely jinxed them all to their doom but Ace thought it would be best right now not to joke with a stressing lady, sometimes bad things happen.

I nodded and looked up at him. "OK..."
(Ashasmed of my poor post. O.O....lol)

Ace quickly escorted the police men through the hallway, into the elevator, and onto Juliana's room. They started taping off the room and investigating the body and looking around the room, and taking photographs. Ace walked up to one of the police officers and asked "Is Juliana, the woman that's staying here, will still be staying here or will she go to another room?"

"Your girlfriend will be moved to another room, we prefer that the crime scene not be disturbed in any way. And we'll bring her stuff to the front desk for her to pick up."Ace wanted to inform him that she wasn't his girl friend, though he
wouldn't mind if she was, but decided that it wasn't worth it. With that he turned around and was about to go investigate some more but then he remembered something. "Oh and one more thing, tell ya girlfriend that she can pick up her new room key the front desk."

"Um, she's not my girlfriend...." the police was walking away but stopped and cranked his head back.

"Yeah sure whatever just get out of here, don't need a snot nose kid in here messing with stuff." and then walked away. Ace gave a angry sigh, he was so not a snot nose kid. He wasn't even a kid any more, he was 19! Whatever he didn't want to argue with him right now, plus he had better things to do like inform Julia that she had a new room. He walked out and lightly jogged back to the dining room area to where she was still sitting there.Ace quickly informed her of happened and told her of her new room.

"Well I'm sure you're tired and want to relax so I'll leave you alone to go to your new room and chill, call or text me when you get the chance."

(Hey I have an great idea! What if there wasn't enough space left on the ship so Julia had to stay in Ace's room? What do you think of that? Btw 15 more points!)

(Perfect idea!)

I nodded and smiled. "OK, i'll see you later," I said, and wondered how i was supposed to get all my stuff from my room, i stood up and smiled over at him, "Thanks for everything." I said thankfully, i walked towards teh front desk and looked at the lady behind it, she was tall, tan,and had blue eyes and dark hair she lookedi n her late 20's, i smiled politely. "I'm Juliana Cortez, i was recently informed of a room change, and am here to pick up my new key." I said.

Ace smile waved good bye to Julia as he made his way back to his room. He sighed, today was just full of surprises, first he totally got powned by a girl, then a murder happened, and who knows what will happen next. He took out his room key as he arrived in front of his room. He slide the card in and opened the door. He looked around his room briefly just to make sure that he didn't get any surprises. Luckily he didn't and he didn't smell anything out of the normal.

He flopped him onto the bed and closed his eyes. Nap time! He started to slowly drift to sleep, he was so tired and it was only like 3 or 4 in the afternoon but then again he did wake up at 6 something in the morning.

"I'm sorry but there are no vacant rooms at the moment, you'll have to talk to the captain." She said politely and smiled. My smile faded and i nodded absently, Just great! I thought, now i'm probably going to have to go sleep in my regular room again being haunted by the body that used to be laying behind my couch, NO WAY! I'm NOT going back there, i growled slightly, and pulled out my cell phone sending a text to Ace.

As Ace laid there he felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket. He quickly drawed for it and slid it open. He had received a text message from Julia saying that there weren't any open rooms for her to stay in and that she did not want to stay in her old room, and Ace didn't blame her.

He started thinking of solutions to this problem and testing her back. Well is there anyone on this ship that you know? If there isn't...., Ace was kind of hesitant suggesting this but he did anyway, well you can always stay in my room if you like, I have an extra bed. After he sent it, he felt kind of weird, what if she took it the wrong way and thought of him as some type of pervert? That would go great.

(hahahaah Some type of pervert)

I felt my phone vibrate and the little beep went off, saying i got a new message, i quickly looked at the screen and hit the button 'read' it took me to the message and i quickly scanned it, i felt kinda awkward about his offer, but it was the ONLY solution! Well, almost, No i don't know anyone else on this ship..tank you sooo much for the offer, if it doen'st bother you, then i accept. i quickly typed and sent it, shifting my weight a little and bending my left leg as my weight went to my right leg.

Still laying on his bed he waited for an reply. She was most likely going to say no thank you and then try to avoid him, wouldn't blame her. His offer was a little weird. He phone laid on his stomach and then it vibrated. He quickly shot up and grabbed his phone. He read the message multiple times, he couldn't believe it she actually accepted. He sent her a message back saying where his room was and he was expecting her anytime, he also asked if she needed help with her bags.

Awwh yes please, if it's no bother i sent back about the hekpl with the bags. I smiled then i looked for the security gaurds, they agreed to let me get my stuff and i was already packed up and satnding in the hall out of breath from hurrying so much my two large bags at my side and my purse hanging over my shoulder, and my medium sized bag at my feet, i sent a text to Ace saying i was ready and waited, hoping i wasn't a bother.

Ace looked at his message and smiled, Julia was a silly person of course it was no bother. He sent her a text back saying that he'll be there asap and asked where she currently was. While waiting for an reply Ace decided that he needed to get out of his swimming suit and into some, as Julia calls it, "real clothes".

He looked through his suit case and quickly grabbed some pants, an shirt, and some shoes.once he was finished getting dressed he took a look around his room, boy he needed to give a quick clean. He checked his phone to make sure Julia hasn't replied and she hasn't and started cleaning. He started in the bedroom area, he made his bed, hid all his comic books, stuffed loose clothing back into his suit case (of course not folding them), and then moved onto the bathroom. First he immediately closed the toilet lid, and and briefly organized his toiletries. He then picked-up the living room area.

He gave a big exhale, man that was exhausting. After a few seconds of rest he headed out the door and locked it.

I got his text and texted him back, [i]in the hall outside my room[i/]. I smiled and sent it, then i leaned on the wall and then looked down at my stuff, putting my bag over my shoulder, and then picking up my medium sized bag in one hand and one of the big ones in the other and nudged the other one as i walked slowly down the hall, (it has wheels) his room as far as i know was 20 dors down but on a completely differnt hall, you could really get lost down here.

Ace took out his cell phone and then started running towards her room. With in 5 or so minutes he saw her walking down the hall, he started waving his arms. "Hey Julia!" he called to her, not caring if anyone saw him doing it.

He quickly took notice to all of her luggage, this might a bit longer than expected. Ace himself only packed a large suit case and a back pack full, why did women always carry so much with them? To Ace this was a great mystery.

I smiled and looked up. "Heyy." I greeted him and leaned on the wall slightly tired fromt he little ways i had walked carrying this stuff.

(Sooo short.. O.O lol)

Ace slowly jogged to her, once he come up to her he stop and asked "So what can I carry?" He was hoping her bags weren't too heavy but of course they are going to be, oh well.
