This is the third part of my B-day present for Sora's Baby. This, the final part, is a story. Enjoy!
I breathed in, and then out. The salty sea-air had a nice, crisp feeling to it as it blew into my face, blowing my slightly long, black hair out of my face--though the wind ensured my vision remained impaired."Windy, isn't it?" I said, looking to my companion--the girl who stood right next to me. Her hair was a nice, soft brown. Her bright blue eyes sparkled as they looked towards me, with a bright smile matching perfectly."It is." The girl agreed. Her name was Sora, though I often called her Ita-Chan, or even Summer if I felt brave enough."Well..enough about the wind." I said, nodding to the steel behemoth docked before us. A large cruise ship, the ship was currently being boarded by a few thousand passengers seeking a fun and summer filled trip."Yes." Sora murmured, looking to me with a smile. Her freaking smile, it made me blush madly, and I could never really figure out why."You're blushing." She added."I know.""We should get on the boat, before we're left behind.""Yes, that would be bad, wouldn't it? That'd be what, a thousand or so dollars down the drain?" I said sarcastically. Sora giggled, "Yes, and then your parents would kill you.""And dance on my grave.""That would be very bad." I smiled, and hefted the red polyester suitcase I had been lugging around on the wooden boardwalk. My bad was heavy--loaded with clothing, a laptop, gaming peripherals, and all sorts of miscellaneous items that I somehow felt were necessary to bring with me. Offering my hand, Sora gladly took it and the both of us silently walked hand-in-hand towards the ticket counter, where a stewardess with an obviously-fake smile stood."Tickets?" She asked with a sweet voice, temporarily taking off her blue cap to brush back some offending blonde strands of hair that was being blown around by the seaside breeze."Right here." I said, letting go of Sora's hand to present two paper cards; tickets for the cruise."Thaaank you!" The lady said happily, punching a hole in each card, handing them back to me along with a room key and some pamphlets."The room number is on the back of the key. The pamphlets include a map and list of the daily activities. Enjoy your cruise!" I nodded to the woman, and took Sora's hand again to pass by the counter and finally reach the large, white stairs the currently lead up onto the deck of the ship."You excited?" I asked Sora."Yes, very. This is an excellent birthday present." She replied with a grin."Even better than the t-shirt?""Much better than the t-shirt.""Nice." I said, laughing a bit, but jumped as it was Sora's turn to begin to drag me--pulling me up the slightly-crowded stairs all the up onto the well-polished deck."Where's our room?" Sora asked, and I began to unfold the massive map and checked the key simultaneously. Seeing my displeasure, Sora made a big sigh and took some of the pamphlets off of me."Ooookaaaay...uh, I think Lower Deck C, Room 3B." I declared, folding the map into a balled up mess and stuffing it into the front pocket of my suitcase."You're a mess." Sora commented, and I made a loud groan."Am not!" I said, my face beginning to sulk into my well-know depressive look."Yes you are. And don't start looking like that. We're here to have fun, remember?" Sora said to me, giving me a very serious look with those blue eyes of hers."Gah, fine!" I admitted, shuddering from her cold stare."Right," She began, her coldness starting to ebb away a little, "To our room, then. I'm tired of carrying all my junk.""Of course, Ita-Chan." I cooed, and Sora blushed ever so slightly as I lead the way to our room--holding up the large map of the ship as a poor excuse for a GPS.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Surprisingly, we had little trouble from there, and we managed to find our room within ten minutes of first settinf out. (Most of that was maneuvering around the massive crowds of people milling about."Open the door, Engy-Kun~" Sora cooed, and I smiled as I slid the keycard into the slot, watching as the console blinked green. Something in the the door clicked, and the door popped open."In you go, madam." I said, forcing a fake posh accent to warrant a small smile from Sora as she went in. The inside of the cabin was small, but lavish to say the least. Two, freshly prepared bed layered with red sheets sat upon a fine, sea-blue rug. It had the standard fare of a Hotel room, except its decor was far more influenced by the sea."Nice." I said, and Sora nodded as she instantly claimed one of the beds for her own, tossing her own blue suitcase on top of it."Comfy~" She declared, giggling as she looked to me with a wide smile. I chuckled lightly, tossing my suitcase onto the other bed."What now?" I asked aloud, looking to Sora to see her playfully 'pretend' to be asleep amongst the plush, bright-white pillows."Sleep~" She said, and I shook my head, "No...why don't we explore the ship for a bit?""But I'm tireddd!" Sora said, looking to me like I was making her grumpy."Come on~ We've got the entire night to sleep! Let's explore for a few hours, okay?""Fine..but you owe me!" Sora declared, and I nodded with a smile as I followed behind her as we exited the room--with myself making sure the door was properly closed.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ship had set sail awhile ago, and now the wind was even more forceful now, but I ignored it as Sora and I stood by a section of the white railings that made up the perimeter of the ship's upper deck."The sea is beautiful." I said, looking to Sora."Yes." She simply replied."Happy birthday. I still can't believe this would make you older than me..""Jealous, much?" Sora said, giving me a very sly and mischievous smile."A little." I admitted."Good~" Sora whispered, kissing me once on the cheek. I blushed almost instantly, looking away."Why are you looking away?" Sora asked."You know I'm awkward!" I stammered, "E-especially with people around! What is someone from KH13 was here, and was watching? They could video tape us and then it'd spread ALL OVER the site!" I said, looking to her as if the all of that was likely at all."You know that wouldn't happen." She replied, turning back to the sea."I know, but still..""Be quiet." Sora murmured, kissing me once again--but this time on the lips, "And enjoy the sunset.""Sorry...""Don't apologize!" Sora said, looking at me with an annoyed expression.I sighed, "Right. Well...again, happy birthday, love. I hope this is day special for you."
