(Author's Note: Normally, I use this when I run out of ideas, or I have a story take place over a few years and don't feel like writing out day by day. But this time, I just got tired of the story. I'm taking out most of the two week cruise by saying.....) I didn't really hang out with the guys for the rest of the cruise. They were busy, and Kat was busy body-guarding. The two weeks went by so fast!! I could hardly believe the cruise was over.
The night before we docked in Tampa, I carefully packed my things into the suitcases. My door had been repaired and my stolen clothes had been returned. I carefully placed my autographed pictures on top of my clothes in the suitcase. God, I wish Nick would have asked.... Wait! He did! I never answered him. I looked at the clock. 12:45. 15 minutes to get my bags in the hall. Too late to go talk to him. I'd have to find him in the morning before I left. I left my bags in the hall and went to sleep.
**The Next Morning**
I threw my backpack over my shoulder and ran. I was late! I'd never catch him! I had to wait in the restaurant, so I looked around. Somebody tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around. It was Athena. "I was just leaving when Nick and AJ left. They were ushered to the pool deck. They get off after us. We can get some great pics of them leaving!!" "'Thena, huh, there's only one picture you'll wanna get. Watch me."
*~* Waiting Off The Ship *~*
"Where are they, God damnit!!" I was watching the gangplank for any sign on the blonde ditz i was so in love with. Then I saw a poofy blond mop flying down the gangplank.
"Nick! Nick!" I took off in a run until I was at the bottom of the gangplank and right in front of him. "Nick, I'm so glad I caught you!" Then I pulled his face towards mine and kissed him. After he pulled away, he stared at me blankly for a few seconds before saying, "Wha- What... Where did that come from? What are you doing??" "Kissing you, you fool. I'm ending our friendship." He stared at me blankly for a few seconds, then a small smile crept onto his face. Then he kissed me. As we were kissing, AJ and Kat came off the ship. "Yo! Nicky finally got the girl!! Go Nick!" We both looked up at AJ and yelled "SHUT UP!!!" Then a voice yelled, "OH MY GOD IT'S NICK CARTER! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Nick started running, then turned back and said, "I'll get your address from Kat!!!!!"
