S.S Queen’s Holiday Cruise

Chance

I shake my head in wonder at her, watching, "You're going to kick my a*s at this..."

Sighing, I stand and retrieve my ball, throwing it down the lane. It knocks down four or five, leaving the rest up. Slightly encouraged, I roll it down again and watch in annoyance as it sinks into the gutter again.

Katie

I laugh and nod. "I might. You still have a chance to come back." I say smiling. "I am most likely going to win though."

Chance

I smile and sit down, nodding. You used to always beat me, an echoed voice inside my head murmurs nostalgically. Confused, I lose my smile and look around, as if someone had actually said it. I decide to shrug it off and turn back to face Katie, watching her.

Katie

At the end, I won by a lot. "That was fun." I say.

Chance

I nod and smile, "What's next?"

Katie

I smile and shrug. ''We could go grab a bite to eat. It is almost lunch time."

Chance

I nod and smile again, "Okay. What if we ate here? They have food, right?"

Katie

I nod. "They do." I say. This was a great date Chance and I had before the accident. We are doing all the same things we did on that date. Things were different romance wise, but it is still great to be with him.

Chance

I nod back and stand, looking at the food station, "What do you want? I'll go get it."

Katie

"Um a hot dog and water please." I say. I wave over to the counter so he does not charge for me. Performers get free food was great.

Chance

I nod and head over, ordering myself a hamburger and water. Once I get them, I head back and sit down, handing Katie hers.

Katie

I smile as he comes back. I wondered what was going on in his head. If anything was coming back to him. I could not lose hope on him. "Thanks." I say, snapping out of it.

Chance

I smile and nod again, "You're welcome."

Katie

I smile and we start eating our food.

Chance

I start eating and feel almost as if I've done this entire day before, as if I'm just reliving something I should remember. Nostalgia without memory returns, leaving me mentally exhausted from searching my mind for things that aren't there.
