Christina snorted derisively in response and Selena smacked her hard with her hand across the face.
"Ow!" Christina exclaimed looking at Selena with shocked hurt in her eyes.
"Welcome to life at sea Christina. You'll learn soon enough that I won't tolerate anymore from you than the Captain will."
Selena started off then and Christina quickly whined out, "How long will we be at sea?"
Selena shrugged, "Who can tell, only the Captain knows that."
Selena disappeared from view and Christina grabbed a hold of the railing as the Celestia's Prize took off from the harbor with power. She was so sorry now for whatever she'd done to make her mother hate her so much to do this to her. She'd be lucky to come back alive from this trip.
