Author's Note: This is a fluffy LoVe story. I just wondered what life would be like if they were all ensconsed on a luxury yatch for 2 weeks! Of course just a little bit of angst will be thrown in here and there :)
Veronica hopped out of the cab at the marina, slung her bag over her shoulder and walked towards slip 5. When she arrived the sight that greeted her took her breath away. She really shouldn’t have been surprised at the extravagance of the Kane’s by now, but the boat in front of her was amazing.
Veronica was mesmerized at the floating mansion towering in front of her. The boat gleamed as the sunlight reflected off the water onto the pearl hull.
“Yo, Superfly, are you boarding this floating Hilton or what?”
Veronica craned her neck upwards to see Wallace hanging over the railings with a huge grin on his face.
“This place in unbelievable V, did I ever tell you how much I love your rich friends!” he shouted down at her with a smile plastered from ear to ear.
Veronica grinned to herself as she started to make her way up the gangplank.
When she reached the top she was greeted by Duncan and she had to stifle a giggle. Duncan was dressed in pressed white pants, a smart navy shirt and a captain’s hat.
“Welcome aboard the ‘Lilly of the Sea’ madam, may I take your bags?” He asked as he bowed nobly before her.
“Thank you kind sir,” she giggled.
Veronica handed Duncan her bags and she was finally able to get a look at the top deck of the boat. Directly in front of her was a raised platform with a huge Jacuzzi that faced out into the ocean.
Behind the Jacuzzi were two huge beds flanking it on either side. The beds were bathed in sunlight. Directly behind that, shaded by the upper deck, Veronica saw a huge 10-seater sofa with a mahogany bar off to the side.
“Duncan, this is amazing!” Veronica breathed the words as she slowly ran her hands over the steel railing of the boat.
“This is nothing, just wait till you see the inside. You’re the first person to have arrived besides Wallace and Nikki so you can choose any room you’d like except the master suite because that one is reserved for the captain.” He winked at her.
“Of course it is.” She replied sarcastically. Veronica glanced at the entrance to the boat and couldn’t help but feeling excited.
“Of you go then, pick a room. As soon as you’ve decided I’ll get one of the crew to bring you your bags. Happy hunting!”
Veronica gave Duncan one last look before heading inside. What greeted her was a huge living room complete with built in couches on both sides of the room. A huge plasma screen adorned the wall opposite the one couch. Directly behind the living room was a dining room that held a huge dining table and another bar just to the left of it.
Veronica walked though a door to her left and entered a corridor with doors on either side. The first one she entered contained two double beds and an en suite bathroom. She closed that door, opting to leave it for Mac and Parker. She then entered another door and, judging from all the bags scattered on the bed she had found Wallace and Nikki’s room. Finally she approached a door at the end of the corridor and she entered the master suite.
It was an amazing room with a huge double bed, sofa, plasma screen and a beautiful bathroom complete with bath and shower.
Veronica shook her head at the extravagance and wondered for a brief moment what it would be like to have that much money before she remembered that all the money in the world couldn’t prevent the Kane’s from losing their daughter.
Veronica shook off the sad feeling that threatened to consume her as she made her way back to the dining room. She entered the hallway on the right of the room and walked into the first door on the right.
The room contained a double bed with a big closet and built in make up table. The bathroom had a huge marble corner bath.
‘This will definitely do’ she thought to herself.
Veronica ran her hands over the soft white satin sheets enjoying the cool feeling under her fingertips.
“Oh how the help love to touch things” a loud voice announced as it interrupted Veronica from her reverie.
Veronica turned around to see Logan standing with his bag slung over his shoulder. He lifted his sunglasses off his eyes and placed them on his head.
“You should be careful Logan, pirates have killed for less.”
Logan grinned at her in that lopsided way that made her heart to melt a little in her chest.
“Um, so, what are you doing in these neck of the woods?” she stammered akwardly.
“Well it would appear that the only other bedrooms left are on this corridor and I plan on getting a good one before Dick gets here.”
Veronica groaned inwardly at the thought of sharing a confined space with Dick but she felt some comfort in the fact that she could throw him over board if he became too much to handle.
“Well this ones taken but go wild with the rest of them.” She answered.
“And here I was hoping you would let me bunk here with you.” Logan gave her a wink as he walked down the corridor in search of a room.
‘Get a hold of yourself Veronica!’ she scolded, ‘you’re just friends with Logan Echolls. You are NOT here to rehash a bad mistake. You’re here to show your support for Duncan.’ She reminded herself.
Veronica made her way back to the top deck just in time to see Mac and Parker arrive. The look on Parker’s face was priceless and even Mac seemed rather impressed with their accommodation.
After all the introductions were made Dick announced his arrival.
“Dude, I’ve brought the party pig! Let’s go big or go home!” he shouted as he made his way onto the boat.
Veronica shook her head and grabbed her bags.
“Veronica, why don’t Mac and I get settled in then we can meet up here and relax in the Jacuzzi!” Parker beamed.
Veronica had to admit that it was a good idea. She agreed to meet them in ten minutes and she went of to her room to get changed.
