"Mason," Blake drawled out at 4:30 in the morning, "come on, get up."

Mason only turned around, her back facing Blake. Blake had woken up at 3 in the morning and had sat in bed for an hour and a half, debating whether to wake Mason up but then she had seen the sun start to come up and had thought that the other woman would have appreciated being awoken to take a good picture.

"I'm taking your camera." Blake announced, knowing that Mason wouldn't let someone take her beloved camera.

Mason shot out of bed, her eyes wide open. "Alright I'm up, don't you dare touch my camera." She told Blake, pulling on some proper clothes and going to brush her teeth. Blake had already gotten ready for the day because she didn't know what else to do with herself.

"Come on Mason, we're missing the sunrise. It's beautiful."

Mason was done in less than five minutes and the two women raced to the deck. They played around and chased each other like children for a while seeing as there was nothing better to do. Mason couldn't get a good photo though so the pair looked around for a good angle and spot to take one when Blake spotted the perfect spot. It was a boardwalk kind of thing but the only way to get to it was to go through the inside of the boat and the woman weren't allowed there.

"Alright Mason, we're gonna climb up there." Blake told the other woman.

"Nope, not happening. I refuse to climb up it and risk falling and dying." Mason backed away from the wall they were standing beside.

"Fine then, hand me the camera and I'll do it." Blake demanded.

"Yeah, ok, you do that." Mason said, nodding and handing over the camera. "Just don't drop my baby."

Blake laughed, slinging the camera strap around her neck and shoulder before finding different hand and foot holds, making up to the boardwalk in under a minute.

"Record time," she said, looking down at Mason, "Wow, this is a great view Mase, you sure you don't want to join me?"

"Yeah, I'm sure, just be careful ok?"

Blake laughed again, snapping a few shots of the beautiful sunrise and the amazing view.

"Come down will you?" Mason said, her hands on her hips like an angry mother.

Blake couldn't help herself, she laughed and laughed and laughed until her stomach hurt. She took a photo of Mason in her motherly pose before looking out across the deck. There was Conrad, exiting the stairwell followed by a group of 5 soldiers, all laughing.

"Hello Conrad, Soldiers." Blake yelled from her position, waving at the men.

They looked at her, surprised to see her up where she was. The soldiers looked completely confused but Conrad gave her a small wave back, smiling slightly. Mason turned around to look at the group of men walking towards her. She smiled at them as a greeting before turning around and looking back up at Blake.

The woman started to climb over the railing when Conrad yelled at her. "Are you crazy? Why are you climbing down when there is a door?"

"Because," she said, looking him straight in the eyes, "First of all, the door is locked, second I climbed up here and third, it's more fun." Blake shrugged before turning back around and climbing down.

The men and Mason watched as she climbed back down to the deck. One of the soldiers wolf whistled.

"Nice ass." The soldiers and Mason laughed, Conrad whacked the soldier who had said it on the arm.
