Sky was grabbing her second cup of coffee and an extra one for Louis when Cara walked in.

"Morning," she called out. She grabbed a styrofoam cup and poured herself some coffee.

"I thought you weren't working this one Sky?" Bridget said.

"It was last minute, Louis called me in."

"Oh how was that?" Cara asked.

Sky smiled, Louis' first day antics were well known. "Not as bad as I thought," she said. "Didn't stop moving until one. We missed you last night up on deck."

"Anders tried to rope me into it," Bee said, "but I knew it was going to be an early morning so I declined."

"Same here, my queen bed was calling," Cara said.

"Aren't the rooms amazing!" Bee said.

Sky walked with the girls as they left the lounge and headed up stairs, all the while talking about the perks of having their own rooms.

"Johnny, how are you this glorious morning? Long time no see," Sky said as she reached his desk.

The control room was a dramatic contrast from the night before. There were a few people working quietly at their desks, but the hustle and bustle of the day before was gone.

"Why are you so chipper this morning?" he groaned. He stole the cup out of her hand and took a sip.

"Why not?" she countered. She took her coffee back.

"At least you brought me coffee." He reached for the second cup in her hand.

"I don't think so. This is for Louis."

"How come you brought him coffee and not me," he grumbled.

"Because he signs my paychecks and you don't," she said. She headed for the door to Louis' office. "Is he in?"

"Yeah." He sadly eyed the coffee in her hands.

"Go get your own," she said, opening the door and stepping in. "Good morning!"

She set the cup of coffee down before Louis.

"Thanks." He grabbed the cup of coffee without looking up.

Sky sat down and was silent, waiting for him to acknowledge her.

"What's the plan for today boss?" she asked, when he finally looked up.

"I need you to cover some room cleaning." He reached for a paper on the desk. "Here are the rooms I need cleaned. I am short staffed in this area and I have someone out with sickness, so you get to fill in."

"I haven't been on cleaning for almost a year. I don't even know if I remember how," she said, throwing out a lame excuse to get out of the job.

"Well, you better remember fast," he said. "Because you need to start your round in half an hour. Better get down below and get your supplies."

She was grumbling to herself on the elevator when it stopped on a floor and opened upon a group of chattering girls. She plastered a blank look on her face, though she doubted they would pay her any attention, and squeezed herself in the back corner.

"I can't even wait until I see him," said a tall blonde girl wearing tiny shorts and a tiny top. "Daddy said he is going to be sitting at our table tonight."

"I've already been thinking of my questions for the Q&A today," a short dark haired girl said. The rest of the ride continued with the girls trying to one up each other. Sky could finally breath again as they got off the elevator on the level with the restaurant.
