The Duet

Chapter 27: Voyage to Alaska (Part I)

"Huh." muttered Alicia as she saw Jamie and James race off. "It's so easy to make friends on a cruise ship."

Chase nodded with agreement.

"Hey, what time is it?" Alicia asked.

"Ummmm, almost 5 o'clock."

Alicia gasped in shock.

"We were supposed to be back by four!!!!!"

Chase and Alicia raced to the elevator.

"Hold up Hold up... What's our room number?"

"Crud. Baja something?"

"What the heck is Baja?"

Chase looked frantically at the friendly elevator directory.

"Baja... Deck 11!"

"Great, so it's on deck eleven."

"We know it is something so..."

"What number would it be..."

Chase began to think deeply, and flung his cruise card from frustration. He picked it up, and

looked down at his crusie card.

"We are so dumb..."

"Huh?"

"It was on our cruise cards the entire time..."

"..."

Alicia and Chase soared into the Kims' room after running across the ship.

"Took you guys forever!" complained Ashley as she popped off her earphones.

"Kids change your clothes, We are going to eat.." Mr. Park commanded.

Chase looked down at his jeans, and t-shirt that advertises a Fender guitar.

What does he mean we are going to eat? Can't I just eat comfortably???

"Do we have to, dad????"

"Yes, it is a semi-formal setting."

"Ughh...."

Chase walked over to his room where his mom presented him with a collared t-shirt.

"Just wear that. Your jeans are fine."

Chase walked out of his room tugging at the bothersome collar of his shirt, and walked into the Kim's room as Alicia stepped out of the bathroom patting down her dress. Chase simply stared at her.

"I hate wearing dresses. It bothers me, Chase can you-"

Alicia stopped as she saw Chase intently staring at her.

"LEECH!"

POW!

Alicia flew forward with the power of her punch. Chase clutched his face, as he took a couple steps back, landing on the bed, and Alicia followed, landing on top of him.

"Hey, you guys ready to g- Not again!" Ashley stopped as she took a picture of the situation. "Guys you aren't old enough for that stuff. Ughhhh... Well, at least I have lots of pictures to post when we get to Alaska."

The two dusted themselves off, got scolded by their parents for causing a commotion, and walked to dinner. They didn't speak a word during dinner. Ashley just kept admiring how the two looked together and took pictures. After dinner the two hastily excused themselves, and took the elevator to the seventeenth floor, only to realize that they needed their parents in order to walk in.
