Bette sat at her desk and brushed a brown curl away from her face. She had spent hours going over the new hire paperwork and wanted nothing more than to be done.
Bette: Damn you April.
April was in charge of the port tours and also happened to be dating her best friend Alice. No one saw it coming when she was caught fraternizing with the guests. Alice still refused to believe that April had slept with a passenger on board but two other employees saw her. There was no denying that proof, at least not for Bette. She had been the Cruise Director on board the Sparkling Sapphire for 3 years now and in that time no one under her had ever broken the rules. She made sure of it. April was a blow to her ego. Pinching the bridge of her nose she willed the impending migraine away. The phone ringing on the corner of her desk did not help matters.
Bette: Bette speaking.
Alice: Porter, it’s scheduled to rain while we are at sea tonight, what should I do with the passengers?
Bette sighed.
Bette: Throw them all over board?
Alice: Gee, isn’t that a genius idea! Why didn’t I think of it?
Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.
Bette: Because I am the Cruise Director. It’s my job!
Alice: Get serious Bette. I’m freaking out. You know I hate it when all my plans are ruined last minute by weather.
Bette had met Alice when the quirky blonde first started working on the ship as the Director of Activities. That was two and a half years ago and they had been best friends ever since. Technically the position reported to Bette but Alice had always been so good at her job that she never, if at all, needed to lean on her boss for help. That was the part Bette liked most. She had enough to deal with without worrying if the “Sail Away” party they threw whenever leaving their departure destination would come together.
Bette: I don’t know Al. Maybe you could talk to Kit and see if she could work with Aaron and put together some fabulous routine for the night.

Having been a fan of your writing for some years now (I believe you were the first fanfic I waited for daily, panting with my tongue out in anticipation), I am reallllly looking forward to this story! I love it already! Thank you and welcome back, Flairzie :)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It was funny and well written. And Helena of course is a bitch. So no chance there, But Tina seems to have brightened up Bette’s day. Although her slight attempt at a joke was more insulting than funny. PPVS
I’m speechless!!! All I can say is WOW and welcome back!! And PPS. And a 5, 6, 7, 8 …
Welcome back!!! You have been missed, especially a writer as talented as you. fantastic so far, PPS!!!!!
“And a 5, 6, 7, 8…” Hilarious! I look forward to frequent posts! PPS
Babe, you still got it and I still love it!
wow, look who’s back and i can already see that this story is going to be exciting…everyone on one ship in the sea, no escape LOL i hope B&T will become an item, if it’s not against the rules ;)
Great start, there’s all sorts of fun to be had on a cruise ship. Now, if only Helena doesn’t wreak havoc on everything… pps :)
this sounds like its going to be great…ladies on the ship no where to run..
WELCOME BACK!!!! I was humming the tune to The Love Boat while reading this! LOL Thanks for joining us again, you have been definitely missed!
The L Boat. Something very different. Very good. I want to know what happens next. Alice hasn’t changed, funny as all heck. PPS
It’s like old home week with some of the best writers returning to share their creative masterpieces. Thanks so much Flair! Can Tina be any more of a babe????? :- ))) Love the humor, A LOT! More soon.
i find it hard to type and do a happy dance at the same time, when i saw you had posted. i can’t tell you how many times i read the first story you posted on this site. you were the first author i saved in my favorite authors, it was always torture waiting for your new post to show up. i must have done something right today, hot damn!!!!
OMG…..is it really you….am i dreaming…i will have to catch up on both chappies when the kids are in bed tonight..I am so freakin’ excited.
Great to have you back!
im catching up. your chappys are fricking long. ;) thx
I remember you, you’re the stroke-induce woman. Let me bring you up to date with my progress after your last story. With the help of therapy, I am now able to hold a ball and slowly release with my right hand. This allows me to hold the mouse properly and click away so I can read these awesome stories. Now you’re back with another story, and I may need to call the home care people back. Love this story, and I am currently taking meds that I may enjoy it without having a coronary. Thanks for the post.
now this is interesting! please continue! i hope you have already written some chapters.. :) thanks! pps!
Welcome back and I’m loving this story. Great start and can’t wait to read more. Thank you :)
Thank GOD you’re back! I have tried desperately to be other people’s number one fan but it never quite worked out. Somehow my stalker-esque attention and charm only works on you ;) I LOVE the boat idea! And everyone fits so nicely and perfectly on the ship both in terms of jobs and maintaining their original characterization on the show. You have a gift lady! Well… giftS, plural but I won’t go into that ;)My life has not been the same without one of your stories and now I am getting butterflies waiting for your next post all over again! I can’t wait for your next post, and as always by then I am sure I will have read this chapter 5 times over…P.S. – I am also enjoying the longer-chapter routine you seem to have fallen into… would love to see that continue!!
I’m not sure I can trust you. Last time I read something from you Bette and Tina had gone to hell in a handbasket. That made me sad. :( You don’t want me to be sad again, do you? *puppy dog eyes* LOL@Aaron! If Pablo doesn’t work maybe you can set him up with Alex from “No Good Deed…” ;)
I really got the frantic feeling that Bette was experiencing. Reminds me of the phone tree in the LW. I am happy that Helena will the royal PITA and beeotch while Tina will help Bette become undone. Just delightful.
