The cruise for Peter's birthday was absolutely perfect. Peter loved it. He loved that he got to spend the time with his friends and family and there certainly were a lot of those around tonight... He was thrilled to hear Spectre and Derek Sherinian playing, and Deirdre sang occasionally too. It was wonderful. Even if he had doubled the amount of pain killers he was taking just to numb his stupid aching head. Once he was headache free, he was able to enjoy himself immensely. He had a wonderful chat with Dimitri and Sergei, and he laughed as Tasha danced with Hope and Fiona all at once. He danced with Aly too. And then with his daughters all in turn. Even Caleb wanted to dance, but only so he could stand on Peter's shoes and get a 'ride'. Lavannah was sitting by the railing chatting with Gavin, though she was watching Johanna with someone else who Peter recognised was Will. Evey kept running up to Will and then darting away again to chat with Deirdre and her girls as well. Every time there was a break in the music, Spectre was followed around by Jacinta and Edward Montgomery, and they proceeded to parent him. He looked oddly pleased. Abigail and Stuart were dancing and looking quite happy. Even Robert looked okay, though he hung back away from the action. Thomas was talking with Mary and Kat who was rolling her daughters back and forth in the stroller as she talked. People were everywhere, dancing and laughing and eating.

And then Peter started to feel a little strange. He excused himself from Aly's presence and he slipped down under the deck into one of the small hallways so he could lean up against the thin wall. It might be that he was just a little motion sick, but the cruise had ended about twenty minutes ago and the boat was now docked. It was gently rocking back and forth, but nothing major. And still Peter felt incredibly dizzy. He put a hand to his head and he crouched down a little, willing himself not to be sick.

Juliet was having SO much fun! Zoe was a great friend and the boat they were on was huge. And Spectre was there. She was standing mere feet away from him as he played his guitar, looking absolutely mesmerised. This and Jude's party made her month.

Hope stopped dancing with Fiona and Tasha and she pointed at Juliet. "Zoe's friend is hypnotised by Spectre!" She said, probably louder than she meant to. "It's cute!"

"Because you weren't all 'oh my god, Fiona, my friends know Spectre, oh my god' a few months ago." Fiona said with a wry smile.

"Shut UP!" Hope yelled, but she was laughing.

"Hey, I've been there too," Tasha said with a grin. "I used to be all, 'ooooh, rich people'." She wiggled her fingers in the air with wide eyes. "I got over it. I can't even be bothered with the gossip magazines any more."

"Gossip?!" came a voice from behind, and a little sugar-high blonde with a passing resemblance to Tamm bounced up. Jubilee Morrison. "Who's got gossip?!"

Date: 2007-08-09 11:00 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] relinquite-spes.livejournal.com
Hope grinned and squealed and she bounced over to Jubilee, leaving her sister and girlfriend momentarily behind. "No one! But look, Kat and Alessa are like totally snogging hardcore!" Hope said happily before hugging Jubilee so tightly she might have exploded were she not prone to being used to that predicament.

Date: 2007-08-09 11:10 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] golden-jubilee.livejournal.com
Jubilee squeaked and hugged Hope back just as tightly, as only bubbly teenage girls can do. "Awww, they're so cute! I love that Alessa and Kat are happy, they're both so nice. How are you?!"

Date: 2007-08-09 11:12 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] sky-will-fall.livejournal.com
"Great!" Hope said with a little bounce. "This party totally rocks because there are so many people here and I love it! Don't you love it! There's free food you want more!?"

Fiona cast a look to Tasha and she stifled a giggle with her hand.

Date: 2007-08-09 11:35 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] golden-jubilee.livejournal.com
"I do love it! And I'm totally into the food, it's so good! It's like totally better than the food we get at home, which is so weird cos it's just party food!" She took hold of Hope's hand and dashed over to the tables whereon a veritable feast awaited any who desired to partake of it.

Tasha wrapped her arms around Fiona and sighed happily. It was beautiful watching everyone be so happy. "I love you, sweetie," she said softly.

Hope grabbed probably several dozen biscuits and she started eating them one by one. "Party food rocks." She pointed at her mothers who were canoodling by the back of the boat. "Ooh look! My mums are getting it on too! They're totally getting married soon. You should come!"

Fiona hugged Tasha tightly, unashamedly planting a kiss on her friend's forehead. "I love you too, Dear Tasha. I feel I want to paint this night to make it last forever."

Date: 2007-08-09 11:44 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] golden-jubilee.livejournal.com
"Oooh a wedding, really?!" Jubilee squealed, and somehow managed to give Hope a bouncing hug again despite food-laden hands. "Oh my god, I would so love to come! I have to tell everyone that I'm going to your mumses wedding!"

"That would be so beautiful," Tasha said with a smile. "You'll need such a large canvas to capture all of our friends. Which is exactly as it should be."

Date: 2007-08-09 11:52 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] relinquite-spes.livejournal.com
"Yeah do!" Hope squealed. "They're SO cute, Jubilee! I love living with them the most. Totally. You can come over for dinner if you want! It's fine! And Zoe lives there!"

"I have canvases of many sizes. It helps to live in a house as large and Liz and Emma's. I paint on the sun porch. It's wonderful. I never saw this for myself, but I adore it."

"Oh awesome, I'd get to see all these cool people in one go, just like here!" Jubilee couldn't remember the last time she'd been so happy. Everyone was so nice here. She couldn't believe her luck at having so many good friends all of a sudden, after settling for friends that treated her pretty badly up until now.

"We're lucky to have you with us," Tasha said. "This certainly isn't where I expected life to take me, either. Not being surrounded by people like this. It's so much better than anything I ever imagined."

Date: 2007-08-09 12:04 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] sky-will-fall.livejournal.com
Fiona grinned at Tasha and she kissed the girl's forehead again. "Well I am glad to hear that. Exceeding our imaginations is a quite an incredible feat."

Date: 2007-08-09 12:11 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] empress-tasha.livejournal.com
Tasha laughed softly. "Especially for someone whose hobbies used to include attempting to bring about the apocalypse, hmm?"

Date: 2007-08-09 12:12 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] sky-will-fall.livejournal.com
Fiona giggled. "Oh indeed. I must say I am pleased you never did accomplish that. I like being here."

Date: 2007-08-09 12:20 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] empress-tasha.livejournal.com
"I like being here too. I promise from now on I'll only call upon the Devil for non-apocalyptic purposes," Tasha said with a grin.

Date: 2007-08-09 12:22 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] sky-will-fall.livejournal.com
"Ooh good!" Fiona laughed loudly. "Like devil's food cake? I like devil's food cake. We could call him for that!"

Date: 2007-08-09 12:28 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] empress-tasha.livejournal.com
"Devil's food cake?" Tasha raised her eyebrows. That sounded like something with chilli in it. "Tell me more about this devil's food cake..."

Date: 2007-08-09 12:32 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] relinquite-spes.livejournal.com
"It's just the best chocolate cake ever. Sort of reddish brown. I'll make you one soon if you'd like. Hope will help me, she loves that."

Hope bounced back to them, Jubilee in tow. "What about me!?"

"I'm going to make your girlfriend a cake and you will help!" Fiona answered.

"Awesome!" Hope grinned and then she handed them both several biscuits.

Date: 2007-08-09 12:45 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] empress-tasha.livejournal.com
"Oooh, biccies." Tasha took a few and munched contentedly. "Have I mentioned lately that I have the best girlfriend? And that she has the best sister?"

Date: 2007-08-09 12:54 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] relinquite-spes.livejournal.com
"Awwww." Hope and Fiona both said at once, and then they giggled.
