So as some of you may know, this story went from something in the 1700's to a really ill written fic about a collage cruise. I've decided to rewrite the second version (the collage cruise one) so it flows and makes more sense.

I'm sorry if all these changes have confused people but I promise I'll get it figured out :)

An alarm went off, causing the sleeping males eyes to flutter open. Brown eyes staring up at the world. He sighed, pressing the button as the loud noise was finally silenced.

Much better

Tony sat up, rubbing his eyes as he took a deep breath. It was a new morning, 8:03 to be exact on a Friday. He slowly stood up and stretched his body, wincing as some joints popped. The first thought in Tony's mind was food, since he hadn't eaten dinner and was craving some cereal. The male stepped out into his kitchen, seeing his friend sitting at the counter, sipping coffee.

"Hey there Nat. Your looking...exhausted" Tony said, his voice laced with sleep as he walked to the counter and pulled a box of cornflakes out. "Oh yeah, I had a long night" she said smiling at her best friend. "Who was the lucky guy, or was it a girl this time?" He teased. "His name was, the study of Geometry by Erwin Sharpe, and he kept me up all night" Nat kept a straight face as she referenced her math text book.

Tony laughed and nodded as he sat down beside her. "What about the love birds?" He asked, they know we have to go by twelve right?" He asked. "Mm. They had a late night, I'm glad these walls are thick" Natasha laughed as she drank the rest of her coffee. "Are you packed? And ready to drive us all?"

"I am packed, but I am not looking forward to driving you guys in that smelly mini van. Now help me make a list" Tony sat down, and started to eat. "We have, you and me, Laura, Clint, Peter and Bruce right?" He asked. "Yes. Sounds about right. I still don't know how you got your dad to pay for all of that, plus this place for us" she chuckled. "Well I just asked for him to by the old frat house and then renovate it. So it's my dads private building and I'm allowed to live here with whoever I want. We could add more people, there's like twenty rooms and all the extra things. Kinda like a ground level hotel with all our friends" he smiled.

"So. Asking him for private rooms on a summer cruise was nothing" he shrugged and let out a yawn. "So I take it you finished your assignment?" Tony asked, swallowing his last mouthful. "Yep. Turned it in a eleven fifty seven. Three minutes before the deadline. Then I packed, showered and went to bed late" Natasha said and rubbed her temples.

"Well. We are leaving in about two hours so you can take a nap while I watch TV" Tony offered as he set his dishes in the dishwasher. "That sounds good. Might do that" Natasha smiled at him and took another sip.

Tony went back into his room to get ready, but decided to lay back down. He shed his silk pajamas and changed into some loose boxers to watch TV. The time flew by as he watched tv dramas and soon it was time to get ready. The brunette got up and started to change into the outfit he had laid out the day before. He felt like a little kid on an exciting school trip as he got dressed, sliding on some kaki shorts. Next that Tony went to the bathroom, buttoning up his blue NBC flower print shirt and putting on some deodorant.

After he finished, he ran a comb though his hair and brushed his teeth. Eventually he finished up and grabbed his suitcase, taking it down to the van and loading it up. "Jesus this is going to be hectic" Tony sighed and went back inside. He was met by Bruce who was struggling to carry his suitcases. "That's a lot of stuff Bruce, are you sure you need three cases? It's only a ten day trip" he said raising an eye at his fellow nerd. "Yeah, but we need first aid kits, sun screen, and all this" he said as he opened his suitcase.

"Buddy, you don't need all this I promise. Let's try and put some back or no one else's will fit" he said gently. As Tony helped Bruce get rid of close to half of his stash, Peter got his suitcase put away and went to help Clint and Laura. When they finished, all that was left was Natasha. "Hey. Where's Nat?" Peter asked as Clint grabbed the snacks and set them in the van. "You know. She probably fell asleep. I'll be back in a few just get settled" Tony instructed them and went back inside.

He knocked on Natasha's room and paused before waking in, finding her asleep in bed. "Hey. Come on Nat. We gotta get going or we're gonna be late" he said softly, watching his eyes reflect in her own. "Oh....right. Yeah, I'll be down in a sec" she mumbled, still half asleep. "Okay. Where's your suitcase?" He asked, following her finger as she pointed. "Is that it?" Tony asked, and then grabbed a duffle bag she packed. "Alright. I'm going down to put this away and come back to lock up" he said.

Tony carried the bags downstairs and put them in the car. He locked them in the trunk and then went back inside to find Natasha. The redhead was combing her hair and then followed Tony outside as he licked up the house. She sat in the passenger seat, holding a pillow and quickly falling back asleep. Clint and Laura were snuggled up in the back, watching a movie on a laptop with headphones and eating some snacks.

Peter was on his phone while Bruce stared out the window absentmindedly. Tony drove for about two hours, until they arrived at the port and got out. "Alright everyone, let's get going. Natasha, you gotta wake up. You can't go though security asleep or they might think we're transporting drugs in you. Now. Grab your cases, let's go!" He said and started to drive the herd to the entrance.
