"Hey guys," Clarissa called out. "I feel going on a hike. It may be a long one this time."

"Do ya mind if I go with ya?" David asked.

"You can."

"Hey, we want you home by 8:00," Elsa called, multitasking with chess.

"We'll see what we can do." The two teens exited the Tortuga, walking along a trail.

"So, Clarissa, is this hike just an excuse for a date?" David asked, once they're far away enough from the ship.

"Yeah. I thought it would be nice to have our first date here in New Zealand."

"Well, this is a very neat place to be at. How about walk to that mountain?"

"Sure thing, honey."
