"I'm King of the World!" Blue hollered from the front of the ship, his hands in the air as he giggled loudly before he lost his balance, almost falling forward into the water, but grabbing the hand rails just in time to stay in place.

"Don't fall in, because I'm not going after you." A tall skeleton said from the shade of the ship, not moving when he saw his Fiancé in danger of falling over board.

He was tall and skinny, with a long head and two glowing red eyes. His sharp teeth were open as he was chugging a can of soda before crinkling it up and throwing it carelessly overboard, littering the ocean not a care of his. He had a ripped and torn red scarf around his neck, two small cracks going through the left eye socket. He was wearing a black top with spiked sleeves, along with spiked, long red gloves. The shirt didn't go all the way down, revealing his spine down to his pants, where he had on a pair of black leather jeans and a red belt with a skull on it. And finally, he had red heel like boots that went up to his knees with spiked ends.

This was Edge, Blue's Fiancé.

Because he worked in the warehouse, he was allowed to come with them on the cruise, along with a few more warehouse members. They weren't the good type of friends you'd really want, though. They were the one's who would try to drug your drink, the one's who cheated in games to earn some money, and would sell you out in a heartbeat if they got to live. They were also very violent, getting into fist fights constantly. Edge was one of them, and he was also the leader of them. In school, they were the delinquent group, who all managed to get hired as warehouse workers for shipping papers. Sure, they got their work done, but at the very minimum of their abilities and sometimes threatened people off the street to do it for them.

Geno and Sci have a bet of which one will attack someone at the Office first.

"You should come out from the shade with me, we can both be Kings if the world!" Blue asked him hopefully.

"Nah," Edge said, shaking his head.

"Oh, ok!" Blue said after that, "I can go inside and get us a few snacks, I guess."

"Thanks Blue."

Blue skipped inside past Ink and Geno, who were talking as they walked out to the deck.

"What exactly is this cruise about?" Geno asked Ink, pulling at his red scarf.

"The captain is a friend of Tainted's, she's really good at getting new co-workers to bond. That's why I was able to get this so fast, she's known for helping the company, Tainted just wasn't sure if she wanted to do it with only one day in advance."

Geno opened his mouth to say something but bumped into someone, him yelping while the other grunted, who was none other then Death.

"Are you going to apologize?" Death asked him.

"Why would I?" Geno asked, looking away with a red blush spreading across his skull, "You bumped into me!"

"No, I think it was you who bumped into me," Death said, looking at Geno was an interested look on his face, "And you're kinda cute."

Geno tensed up, his blush turning a bright red as he processed what Death had just said. He became a stuttering mess before he gave a quick excuse before running off, his scarf fluttering behind him as he did.

"How adorable~" Death cooed with adoration, watching the blushing skeleton run off with admiration.

"Sorry, Geno isn't very used to getting compliments, especially from new people," Ink said, rubbing the back of his neck, "But I'm sure he's thankful, just embarrassed."

"He doesn't get compliments?" Death asked, hovering next to Ink.

"Not very much, because he's constantly bleeding everywhere. Not to mention he isn't very social, so he doesn't even go out much. He went on a date once, and it ended badly, so he hasn't tried it since."

"How long ago was that?"

"Six years at least, it's been awhile."

"Well, I guess I'll be his most recent date then!" Death said confidently, smirking at the door Geno had just ran out of.

"You're going to try and hook up with him?" Ink asked, looking over with a smile, "That sounds great, he really needs a date."

Suddenly, a voice boomed over the loudspeakers, stating in an excited tone rather loudly, "Everyone please come to the main deck for the activities, thank you."

"Let's go, we need to get the two branches to corporate!" Ink said, walking off in the direction of the main ship.

~~~~~~~~

"Ok!" The captain of the ship said happily, clapping her hands together.

She was short and skinny, standing on a small platform in front if the many skeletons and Monsters. She was wearing a long sleeved purple sweater and baggy blue jeans, black tennis shoes and a captains hat, which was tilted on her head. A few purple bubbles were floating randomly around her. On her back, strapped against it, was a giant purple bubble blowing stick. She had long brown hair with a part of it dyed purple. And her brown eyes were full of energy, a grin on her face.

"It is so cool to see you all for the first time, and so awesome to see an old friend again!" She said, waving to Ink, who waved back.

Error, who watched it, sent here a glare, which she didn't seem to notice.

"I'm your ship Captain, Captain Bubbly to you!" She giggled, waving to them all after that, "I'm here to get you guys on a fun groove time!"

"My god..." Nightmare muttered, rolling his eyes.

"You shouldn't judge her," Cross muttered to him.

"And why not?" Nightmare demanded.

"She's sisters with the head of Corporate, Tainted!" Cross hissed, "Did you hear what happened in the String Branch? One of the workers said something mean to Bubbly and they all got fired by Tainted!"

"As if they'd fire a whole branch over something that stupid," Nightmare said, rolling his eyes and leaning out of the conversation.

"So, let's do the first activity!" Bubbly cheered, pressing her hands together, "I was thinking we'd do some partner exercises first, something everyone knows, a scavenger hunt!"

"This is already so stupid," Fell said, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes.

"That's the kind of spirit that will be clean from this ship forever!" Bubbly said, pointing at him.

"Of course you have to make an example out of me..." Fell muttered, looking out over the water.

"Ok, for teams I have a list of teams I made ahead of time! So, when I say the teams, get with your teammate and I'll give you the item you're looking for!"

"And why," Killer asked, raising his hand with his other arm wrapped around Horrors shoulder, "Would we even bother with this stupid game with these losers?"

"Because I said so," Ink said, "And I'm your Boss."

"Ok, here's the list of your new partners!" Bubbly said, looking down at a piece of paper before reading out partners.

"First off, Ink and Error!"

Ink frowned and refused to look at Error as he walked up to Bubbly, taking the slip of paper from the brown haired girl. Error tried to say something to Ink but Ink didn't listen, instead he walked off to the door, motioning for Error to follow.

Which the second in command did.

"We have to find a blue vase," Ink said, showing Error the piece of paper, "I think we should go look in the dining area first then-"

"Ink," Error interrupted his Boss, looking up from the piece of paper, "We need to talk."

"No, we don't," Ink said suddenly.

"I'm sorry about what I did, Ink, ok?" Error asked, reaching out for Ink.

Ink smacked away his hand, the painters eyesockets slightly watering, "You betrayed me, Error, I can never forgive you for that. Can we just get this scavenger hunt over with?"

Error stared at him before sighing, folding the piece of paper before shoving it into his pocket.

"Sure," He said quietly, "But I'm never going to give up apologizing. I swore I'd get you back, and I'm not giving up."

"You can try, Error. You can try."

~~~~~~~~
"Please, promise me you'd never leave."

"I promise."
~~~~~~~~

After their little 'incident', they walked in silence, only speaking when absolutely necessary. They would check inside of rooms they would pass, glancing around to see if they could locate the blue vase.

"Why the hell is there bubbles everywhere?" Error demanded, swatting at a purple bubble that was lingering around in the hallway, an annoyed expression on his face.

"It isn't your ship, and she really likes bubbles, she finds them really cool," Ink said, tightening the sweater around his waist.

"You seem to like to talk about her a lot," Error grumbled, crossing his arms and looking away.

"We're friends," Ink said, rolling his eyes, "And we aren't dating anymore, so you can't get jealous."

"I'm not jealous!" Error suddenly yelped, looking over with an annoyed expression.

"Um, sure," Ink said, walking ahead of him, "Don't linger behind, Error!"

~~~~~~

Somewhere else, Bubbly was looking through a bubble on her lap, the image of Ink and Error transparent in the bubble.

"It isn't going exactly as planned," Bubbly muttered, crossing her legs and leaning forward, "Maybe I should go with that one plan, it's a bit risky, but I'm pretty sure Error will catch him. Probably."

~~~~~~

Back to Ink and Error, they were on the top of the ship by then, looking around in the corners for any vase.

"Do y-you s-see it?" Ink asked.

"Ink, aren't you afraid of heights?" Error asked, glancing over, "Are you sure you're ok?"

Ink was clearly not ok. His bones were rattling, and he was hugging his giant paintbrush to his chest. On the lower levels, the height wasn't too high, and he could easily avoid the windows on the higher ones. In his office, the windows were covered by pictures, because he simply couldn't handle heights. They terrified him to no end.

"I'm f-fine," He muttered, a painful squeezing at his soul tearing down hid non-existent gut.

"No you're not, I know how you get when you get high up, let's go back downstairs," Error said, reaching out for his Boss.

"I swear I'm fine Error!" Ink said loudly, taking a few steps back from him because he was angry at something Error did in the past.

However, there was a railing there, which he ran into.

And which he fell backwards over.

Ink screamed out of fear, which was loudly pumping throughout his soul. As a child, he never really enjoyed heights, and the fear continued into his adulthood. It had gotten better, but it never fully disappeared. When he was eleven, he couldn't even climb a latter without bursting into tears. He could now, but three stories up and he's a shaking mess.

And now he was falling towards the water from a high height.

Error screamed Inks name before running to the edge, sticking his hand out towards Ink. Multiple blue strings shot from his fingertips, flying faster then Ink was falling. They wrapped around his ankles and waist, making him stop from his fall, his body thuding against the side of the ship.

"Oh my gosh, are you ok Ink?" Error asked, panic spilling throughout his soul.

"I d-don't know..." Ink sputtered, shivering as he hugged himself, a few tears rolling down his face from the sudden experience.

He then glanced to his left, an annoyed expression covering his face as his shaking arms reached out to the small ledge, grasping the item on the ledge in his fingertips from the purple bubble that was resting on the ledge, pulling it from within the bubble.

"F-Found the s-stupid v-vase," Ink muttered, holding out the blue vase as Errors strings started to pull him up to the safety of the ship once more.

"We're not doing this again, right?" Error asked, helping him over the ledge before holding his arms and offering his Boss a hug.

"Never again," Ink said firmly, quickly heading to the stairs and ignoring the hug offer, "Let's not fall over ledges ever again."
