"So do you have everything?"

"Yes."

"Absolutly everything?"

"Yes."

"Be careful."

"I'm just going to school."

"I'll miss you so much."

"And I'll miss you. Goodbye~! Mom!"

"*snivle*Goodbye…"

She walked up the stairs to the ship. I'll miss this place. But I need to move on.

"GOODBYE! KATIE!"

"Yeah…Goodbye, Mom."

And as she got onto the boat, she got a sudden wave of homesickness. She shooed it away and sat down on one of those chairs you see at the pool. And it was by the pool, but you could'nt get her to go in there.

Katie waited for her friends to show up. The sun was too warm, though, and she fell asleep.

She woke to the unpleasent feeling of water being splashed all over her.

"Wha?"

"Wakie, wakie!"

"Oh, joy. You got here first."

Allisa was standing in front of Katie, blocking the sun and holding a bucket.

"Where'd you get the bucket?"

"It had some weird spiraly pink things in it. It was on the food table- oh."

"Yeah, those were shrimp."

"That explains why they were so tasty."

"You ate them all?"

"Nah, I ate a few. I threw the rest in the pool."

Sure enough, a bucket-load of shrimp were floating in the pool.

"Eww!"

"Not my best idea."

"And, hey, where's Zac?"

"Dunno. I coulda sworn I saw him erlier."

And as if on cue, a tall, skinny boy came prancing around a corner, smacking right into Allisa.

"Allisa?"

"Whendya figure that out?"asked Allisa, trying to wriggle out of Zac's whieght.

"So the gangs' all here."announced Katie.
