A port?
"Uhh, why are we-" I am cut of by Christina, Uriah, and Zeke surprising us with screams, proving how immature they are.
"We are going to the Bahamas, Trissy-poo!" Yells Uriah.
"On a cruise!" add Zeke and Christina simultaneously. I laugh, loving Tobias for this. We all run at half speed like tacky tourists, but at this point we don't care. Once through security, we excitedly board the ship. It's a disney cruise, included with games and a teen hangout room. We share a huge room that has a curtain separating each half. Tobias and I claim the back half to ourselves, and I stick my tongue out at the others.
"Haha!" Tobias and I both say in unison with our hands by our ears like a moose, sticking our tongues out once again. They just glare at us, until I sheepishly say, "selfie?" to everyone, and pose. The outcome is cute, so I post it online to Instagram, and send it to my old best friends Susan and Robert through snapchat. They only have one phone for the family to use for 5 minutes a day, so I don't expect them to see it anytime soon.
I feel my legs start to wobble, and an announcement comes on.
'We are departing now, please hold on tight until you are used to the waves of the ocean. Thank you for cruising with us. Have a nice trip' our whole cabin cheers, and being Dauntless, we run to the deck. There is a huge water slide called 'Augustus' that we really want to go on. The best part is that everything was paid for when we got our tickets, so we can get as much of anything as we want whenever we want it.
Everyone but Christina and Zeke are wearing bathing suits, so they go back to change, while we get in line.

Today was awesome. We had so much fun, and had a fancy dinner with Timone and Pumba, with a brief visit from Simba and Mufasa. I love the lion king, and so does Tobias.
Once we finished eating, we came back home. Christina, Zeke, and Uriah left for some princess dinner without us, thankfully. So, being alone, we crawl into bed together to cuddle and kiss.
Like usual, it starts with him wrapping his arms around my waist, and kissing my head, then forehead, then nose, and finally lips. Then, we collapse onto the bed, curling up into eachother. I glance at the clock, reading 10:07, meaning the others will be back soon. So, we decide to sleep. I let his warmth comfort me into a deep sleep. I kiss him passionately on the lips, and squeeze his hand before slipping into the darkness that is sleep.
