//------------------------------// // Chapter 14: Cruise // Story: Breeze of Love // by HeartBeat //------------------------------// Chapter 14: Cruise I grabbed the saddlebags and threw them onto my back. I trotted down the stairs and went outside to Rainbow, who was waiting patiently with Silver. "Alright! Let's get going!" I said. We trotted to the train station and payed our tickets to get on the train. The train's engine began to rumble and we were on our way. A few hours later we areived at a town that had large dock. We found out terminal for the cruise. A pony took our tickets and we entered the large ship. Rainbow and I stairred at the classy interior of the large ship. The boat was filled with many ponies, some dressed very expensive. We made our way to the elevators and went up to our rooms. The door unlocked and we entered the room. Inside were two rooms. One for me and Dash, and one for Silver. We enjoyed the rest of the day by going up to the ship's pool. There was a small restaurant down below the pool so we decided to eat after we swam together. I sat down and layed on my back in a chair. Rainbow got in with Silver with the other ponies. I smiled as I watched as Silver floated in the water. The floaties on her front hooves kept her head above the water. She giggled and splashed around with Rainbow. I sat in the sun and sipped a cold drink. I didn't want to get in at the moment, I just wanted to enjoy the view of the ocean. Moments later, Dash and Silver got out and she laid next to me. And Silver held her bear and sat at the edge of the pool with her rear hooves in the water. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. I heard a splash and I looked up to see what happened. I looked and saw two purple floaties and a bear floating in the water. "Oh crap!" I yelled as I sprung out of my seat. I dove into the water and frantically looked around. Silver was lying at the bottom of the pool and was thrashing her hooves around. I swam down as fast as I could to her. Scooping her up, I kicked down on the bottom of the pool and sprung to the surface. Silver began to choke and cry as she surfaced. I gasped for air and set her on the ledge, where Rainbow instantly picked her up and make sure she was breathing alright. I turned around and scooped the bear and floaties out of the water and returned to her. My heat was ripping apart when I saw her at the bottom. She seemed to be so helpless, even though she was. I could never have lived with myself If she had not come out alright. I thought she was so far down, but she was only a few feet away from me. I was so happy that Silver was alright, yet I was so mad that Rainbow and I were the only ponies who noticed. I dried her bear off and handed it to her. Her playful, childish attitude returned as she hugged the bear. She let out a faint giggle and buzzed her wings. I smiled and patted her head. We returned to the room to cleanup for dinner. I watched Silver as she rolled on the floor and giggled. She stopped and sat in front of me and smiled. She moved over to her bear and picked it up. Silver crawled over to me and buzzed her wings. She landed on the couch next to me and smiled. I looked into her purple eyes, they were still a little red from the water, and I felt a frown appear on my face as I thought back to the pool. My heart stopped as I saw Silver smiling and holding up her bear to me. "No, that's your's, sweetie." I said looking down at her. She smiled and set the bear down in my lap. A tear fell off my cheek and landed in my lap. I picked up the bear and looked at it, then smiled back at her. I set the bear down and picked Silver up and pulled her into a hug. I began to sob as I rested my head around her small body. "Daddy, almost lost you... I felt so sad and scared." I cried quietly. "Daddy..." My heart skipped a beat as the words left Silver's mouth. I felt her hooves wrap around my neck and hug me back. I smiled and hugged her tighter. Silver giggled and her wings began to flutter against my hooves. I wiped the tears off my cheeks and saw Rainbow trot through the door. "She called me daddy..." I said sniffing back the tears. Rainbow trotted to Silver and congratulated her. I patted her head and she looked up at me with her purple eyes. We left and sat outside at the restaurant. The waiters gave us our menus, but we decided to take the buffet. We grabbed a plate and slowly began to trot down the isles of amazing looking food. I grabbed a sunflower burger and some red potatoes. I sat down at the table and Dash returned with silver on her back. Silver was eating a small potato and even watching her eat was the cutest thing I've ever seen. I finished my meal and Rainbow was holding Silver in her hooves and feeding her from the bottle. I looked out to the sunset that rested on the ocean. It seemed so... Endless. Sip from the wine and set the glass back down on the table. I turned back to the beautiful sunset and smiled. >Author's note: I'm currently writing two stories. This one, and Young Bond Builds.
