[b]"Then give me a second to think!"[/b] I, in growing exasperation, exclaimed. I get it, you all wanna come along! Who wouldn't?!

...Well, apparently Team Vivacious, but that was different. They could just go out onto the water whenever they pleased, for us it was a big deal!

The ticket switched hands, as my right raised itself to subconsciously scratch my head as I tried to work my way around it all in my head, heedless of countless past warnings against so from, in no particular order, parents, teachers, guidance counselors, and little sisters.

Four tickets for a luxury cruise.

I needed four free people, myself included, and one of them couldn't be a... cheese boy.

...

Napoli.

One of them couldn't be Napoli.

Three free people other myself, who were both ready and willing to board a cruise at 8:00PM.

[b]"Wait."[/b]

PM?

[i]PM?

[u]PM?![/u][/i]

That was just a few hours from now! I could have sworn it said "AM" just a second ago! Forget asking other people in the middle of plans or recuperation, I'd barely have time myself to get ready!

Once you factored in travel time, I basically needed to hand them out now!

My eyes, which I could feel were wide, flicked between the three girls looking expectantly at me now that Vivianne Laurent had taken her leave.

[b]"...I think,"[/b] I began shakily, presenting them a ticket held at the very edge of each side, so that nothing would be obscured,[b] "that my decision might have been made for me at this point."[/b]

Who the hell delivers tickets only hours in advance?

There's gotta be something in the water in Mistral.

Something that drives a girl crazy.

I'm sure of it.

[b]"How quickly can you guys pack?"[/b]
