"Thank you!" The green-haired girl waved as she pulled her bag out of the back of the Taxi, the young man behind the wheel nodding and waving lazily out the window. Driving away, the Taxi pulled out of the port, leaving the girl alone.<em>Alright, Maria my girl.</em>The green-haired girl thought to herself.<em>You're young, you're single, you're attractive - fairly - and you've got a whole ship full of potential boyfriends slash girlfriends just waiting for the picking.</em>Picking up her fairly light suitcase, she started towards the dock, fishing her ticket out of the front pocket of aforementioned suitcase.<br/><br/>Looking around the parking lot, she spied people going about their business, one woman having a mild disagreement with a group of three, a boyfriend and girlfriend sharing one last kiss goodbye before they left, and a few street peddlers selling their wares on the docks. The group of three talking with the other woman was probably a Sibling\Significant Other combination somewhere in there, as they didn't all look interrelated. Walking towards the dock, she decided:<br/><br/>"My luck's finally turning around! Seven days away from everything! Maria, you are going to have the time of your damn life!" She spoke to the air, to herself, and continued towards the dock, inhaling and smelling the crisp morning sea-spray air. Maria had won her ticket in a contest and was proud to be there for the maiden voyage of such a beautiful ship. The woman talking with the other three turned out to be a member of the crew, her jacket over her shoulders lazily and her cap on her head. She was quite a cute one, too, her blonde hair swaying perfectly in the breeze.<em>Damn, she's a cute one... probably taken, knowing my fucking luck... lucky bastard.</em>She thought, scowling.  She reached the boarding ramp, and judging by the cones and police tape across them, they hadn't started boarding yet. A few more passengers were lined up, tickets ready, and waited patiently for them to begin boarding. Taking her place next to one woman, she dropped her suitcase onto the ground and turned to her.<br/><br/>"So. Maiden Cruise huh?" She looked over the ship. "Beauty, isn't she?"
