You see Sydney and Bridget lying on the deck chairs Sydney is just lying there and Bridget is reading a novel.Bridget looks at Syd and shakes her head."Vaughn is going to drop down dead when he sees what you're wearing,"she says.
Sydney takes her sunglasses off and stares at her friend and she shrugs"I know but he'll still love it,"she says.
Bridget smiles at her then you see Vaughn and Eric come out on deck in their boxers you see the girls are now dangling their feet in the swimming pool.Vaughn stops dead in his tracks when he sees what Sydney's wearing."Are you okay man?"Eric asks.
Vaughn looks at him and nods his head he smiles and then walks over to the girls and he looks down at Sydney and she looks back."What?"she asks.
"That's quite a bikini you have on,"he says.She looks down and then smiles at him he holds his hand out to her.She takes it and he helps her get up he twirls her around and she smiles."Beautiful as usual."
She smiles at him and kisses him they pull back and then she dives into the swimming pool splashing him with water he glares at her when she surfaces.But she just smiles sweetly at him and he shakes his head he dives in after her."Come here Syd,"he says.
"No,"she says."I don't trust you."
He just smiles and he keeps edging towards her she glares at him"oh come on Syd I promise I won't do anything to you,"he says.
"No stay away,"she says.
He got her into a corner and started tickling her"are you going to say sorry for splashing me?"he asks.
"No,"she says between laughing.
You see Bridget and Eric just staring at the two of them"those two are crazy,"Eric says.
Bridget smiles and puts her arm around his waist they are standing quite close to the edge of the pool she then pushes Eric in.And he comes up spluttering"Syd you're friend is horrible,"he says.
Sydney looks over and starts laughing and so does Vaughn he just turns and glares at them but they just laugh harder."Sorry Eric,"Bridget says.
"Sure you are,"he grumbles.
She holds out her hand to him and he takes but instead of helping himself out he pulls her in.She glares at him when he's standing outside of the pool.He's laughing"you are so going to pay for that,"she says.
She gets out of the pool and heads over to the deck chair and sits down in a huff.Sydney and Vaughn just shake their heads."You okay?"Vaughn asks.
"Yes I'm fine why?"Sydney asks.
"Just wondering you said you weren't feeling well this morning,"he says.
Sydney smiles at him"I'm fine,"she says.
He nods his head and kisses her on the cheek they get out of the pool and Sydney goes back over to the deck chair.She looks at Bridget who is now lying back and you see Claire sitting on the deck chair beside her."Hey Syd,"she says.
"Hey Claire is she okay I mean they were both just playing around,"Sydney says.
Bridget turns over and she has tears in her eyes"I'll leave,"Claire says.She stands up and goes over to the bar.
Sydney stares at Bridget"do you remember my twin sister?"she asks.
"Yes vaguely her name was Bronwyn you two were almost identical oh god she died when she fell into the pool and broke her neck that was ten years ago,"Sydney says.
Bridget nods her head Eric comes over with Vaughn and looks at the two of them"what's wrong?"Eric asks.
Sydney stood up and grabbed her towel,her bag and put on her shorts and then grabbed Vaughn's hand."Come on we'll be with Claire if you need us,"she says.
Bridget nods and she starts explaining to Eric.
"Ten years ago my twin sister Bronwyn hosted a party at our house a pool party you can ask Syd it was like one of the biggest parties of the year,"Bridget says."We were all outside and my sister was by the pool just in fun a guy pushed her into the swimming pool she hit her head and broke her neck.I was sitting on the wall and I watched my sister die."
Eric looks down and shakes his head"why haven't you ever told me this?"he asks.
Bridget looks at him"it's hard for me to talk about she was my best friend apart from Sydney I couldn't handle her death I saw a psychologist for months afterwards but it didn't help she was gone.And nothing could bring her back,"she says.
Eric nods his head and puts his arms around her.
Sydney smiles from where she's sitting on the stool at the bar she is also sort of watching Claire who is flirting with one of the guys with the guns.She shakes her head and looks at Vaughn.His hand is lying on hers on the counter she strokes it"are you okay?"she asks.
He looks at her and nods his head"I'm fine,"he says.

You see Sydney getting ready for dinner she has a light blue dress on Michael comes out and has a tux on.She looks at him and smiles"you look handsome tonight,"she says.
He smiles down at her and she smiles back he goes over to his bag and pulls out a box it's wrapped in nice paper he hands it to her.She looks at him strangely"a beautiful gift for a beautiful lady,"he says.
She smiles at him and unwraps the paper and opens the box she lifts up the cotton wool and smiles at what she sees.It's a gold heart shaped pendant on a chain."Vaughn you shouldn't have it's beautiful,"she says.
Her hair is down she hands the necklace to him and moves her hair he clips it behind and she lets her hair fall."Beautiful,"he says.
She smiles at him and leans over and kisses him"I love you,"she says.
"I love you too,"he says.
Then there comes a knock to the door"come in,"Sydney says.
Francie and Will do followed by Eric,Bridget and Claire"you two ready to go to dinner?"Will asks.
"Yes just about,"Vaughn says.
He puts his jacket on and Sydney stands up and hands her,her shawl she smiles at him"shall we?"he asks.She nods he holds out his arm and she takes it.They leave the room.Followed by the others.
You see them all sit down at the table which they would be sharing with another couple with their two teenager grandchildren.Vaughn pulls out the chair for Sydney and she sits down and then he pulls out one for himself and sits down.
"Such a gentleman,"the old woman says looking at her husband but he was looking at all the other woman onboard.
The two grandchildren were a brother and sister the grandmother's name was Nicole,the grandfathers was Henry,the grandaughter was Rebecca and the grandson was Kevin as it turned out.
"That's a nice necklace you have on,"Rebecca says.
"Thankyou Rebecca Michael gave it to me just tonight,"Sydney says.

Sydney was watching everyone around her Vaughn takes her hand and brings it up to her lips"so when are you two getting married?"Rebecca asks.
Sydney looks at her in shock"we aren't engaged,"she says.
"Yet anyway,"Vaughn says.
Sydney looks at him and smiles then a few minutes later a band came up on the stage she smiles"would you do me the honour of dancing with me?"Vaughn asks.
"Yes,"Sydney says.
He takes her hand and they head to the dancefloor he puts his arms around her waist and she puts hers around his neck."I'm glad you won this cruise,"he says.
Sydney smiles at him"so am I,"she says.
