A/N: Hello, readers! This is the sequel to "The Book Of Emotions".
Zatch and his friends had recently defeated Royal Highness, and they were ready for another adventure. Ichigo told Kiyo as she entered the house, "Kiyo, there were some tickets for a luxury cruise in the mail! I'm so excited about this!" Kiyo responded while Ichigo showed him the ten green tickets, "Wow, Ichigo! I wonder why someone would send us cruise ship tickets." Zatch wondered as he walked out of the kitchen, "Where are we going? Are we going to have some fun, Kiyo?" Lettuce added with a content look on her face, "After all these battles, a cruise would be a good break." Zakuro was on the couch with Lettuce and Mint, and she wondered why someone conveniently sent them tickets for a cruise ship after beating the final antagonist.
Meanwhile, Kish and Tart were looking through the window of Kiyo's house, and they wondered about the cruise ship tickets. Tart said with a bratty facial expression, "First, the hot spring resort. Then, the winter resort. Are resorts good places to have battles or something?" Kish replied nicely, "Don't worry, Tart. If there are more mamodos, that means we have more chances to get noticed. That Folgore guy made someone write a manga about the winter resort adventures." He pulled out a manga book from his pocket, and Zatch was on the front cover with the Mew Mews. Tart exclaimed loudly, "That's hardly fair, because we shielded those guys! We should be getting some credit for that!"
Elsewhere, Naruto Uzumaki was eating at the Mochinoki Ramen Shop. He had finished eating his seventh bowl of miso ramen, and the cook was amazed by this. He asked with a concerned look on his face, "Hey, kid. How are you going to pay for all this ramen?" Naruto explained while slurping up the noodles from the bowl of ramen, "I was on top of an abandoned building, and I found a wallet that belonged to someone named Fein." Naruto pulled out a purple frog-shaped wallet from his left pants pocket, and he gave the cook nine dollars for the ramen. Then, Naruto ran off to the bridge that divided the city from the suburbs.
Kiyo's group packed their suitcases, and they were getting ready to leave for their cruise ship adventure. Pudding shouted with a happy smile on her face, "I'm really excited! We might be headed towards an ancient island!" Zatch also looked happy, and everyone walked out the door. They saw the aliens, and they were startled by their quick appearance. Tart asked Pudding with a nice facial expression, "Can we come on the cruise ship with you guys? We don't need luggage. Also, we have these!" The aliens pulled out their spell books, and everyone was shocked! Kish explained in a calm tone, "While Deep Blue used that spell to annihilate Pie, I used a duplicating spell to duplicate our spell books! When Tart and I came back to Earth, we had our books with us! I can turn any disadvantage into a benefit." Ichigo told Kiyo while kissing him on the cheek, "This will be the best cruise ship adventure ever!"
Meanwhile, Naruto was running to the suburbs. He had to find the protagonists, because he needed to tell them something important. He thought to himself, "That's where the Chunin Exams are being held, and I don't want them getting caught in something like that! I gotta find them quickly!" He jumped up to the rooftops that were adjacent to each other, and Naruto found what he was looking for.
Pudding heard someone shout, "Wait a minute!" She looked up, and Pudding recognized Naruto from the forest! (For those of you who don't remember, see Chapter 8 of "The Book Of Emotions.) Pudding asked him with concern in her voice, "What's wrong?" Naruto explained to everyone, "Today, the cruise ship is heading to where the Chunin Exams take place. You can see the city, but I don't think that you should take the exams. Zatch replied while walking over to Naruto, "Don't worry, Naruto! We'll just have fun! Besides, I've seen your show on television many times! I know all of Orochimaru's tricks!" The group of ten headed to the docks, and their next set of adventures awaited them.
