Finally on the third day on board the ship they had almost made it to Hawaii. They were expected to arrive around five that afternoon. The storm that was brewing the day before had grew stronger there were dark clouds in the sky , the wind was roaring past the ship.
"Jack, I hope that it does not storm the whole time we are in Hawaii!" Rose exclaimed.
"Me to, I think it will pass over, At least I hope it will." Jack replied.
Cora and Nevaeh walked into the room. Nevaeh was still in her pajamas that had the word "angel" all over them. Cora had a towel on top of her head and had her clothes on already.
"Mom have you saw my box of makeup?" Cora asked.
"No honey, where did you have it last?" Rose replied.
"I had it in the bathroom in our room yesterday and it is gone." Cora said.
"Well maybe you already packed it in your bag by accident."
"I don't think so but I will go check."
Cora went back in the bedroom and looked in her bag to see if her make up was in there. It wasn't but she looked over and sticking out from under Nevaeh's bed was her make up bag. Cora stormed back into Rose and Jack's bedroom where Nevaeh was lying watching cartoons.
"Nevaeh I am going to kill you!" Cora said in a calm tone.
Nevaeh looked at Cora like she was crazy. Rose walked into the room and asked what was going on.
"Nevaeh had my make up hid under her bed!" Cora screamed.
"Cora is this true?" Rose asked with her hands on her hips.
"No mom, I did not touch her make up." Nevaeh replied with a straight face.
" Mom she is lying!" Cora said.
"If she says she did not take it she didn't take it. That is the end of it." Rose replied while blow drying her hair.
Cora gave Nevaeh a nasty look and Nevaeh got the message. Cora walked out o the room and went to her room to put make up on. After about an hour everyone was ready and they went down to the dining room for brunch. It was already eleven o'clock and the family was starving. The waiter walked over to the Dawson's table.
"What can I get for this fine family?" The waiter asked with a smile.
Rose ordered first, "I will have pancakes with bacon."
Next Jack ordered, "I think I will have eggs, bacon, and toast."
Cora ordered after Jack, "I will have the same thing as my mom got please."
Finally Nevaeh ordered, "I will have pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, waffles, sausage, a ham and cheese omelet and some grapes."
The whole family and even the waiter stared at Nevaeh.
"What I am hungry!" Nevaeh said.
"Will that be all?" The waiter asked.
"Could you please just bring her a child's size meal of bacon, eggs, and toast.?" Jack asked.
"Of coarse sir." The waiter said.
Nevaeh looked at Jack with an angry look.
"So is everyone exited about arriving in Hawaii today?" Rose asked .
"Yes, I will get to spend some time away from the little shrimp." Cora said.
"Cora we are all staying together on this trip." Rose said.
"But mom I am 18 years old I think I am old enough to take care of myself."
"Maybe she's right Rose." Jack said.
"Well… maybe but you still have to spend some time with us." Rose replied.
"Don't worry mom I will." Cora said.
About twenty minutes the waiter came out with their order. Everyone ate all of their meal except for Nevaeh.
"So Nevaeh now aren't you glad you didn't get all that food you ordered?" Rose asked Nevaeh while smiling.
"No, if I had more food I could have ate more!" Nevaeh replied.
"That doesn't even make sense stupid!" Cora said.
"Hey! There will be no name calling!" Jack yelled.
After the family ate their late breakfast they went up to the boat deck. It was not raining but it was thundering and lightning. BOOM…. A bold of lightning hit a metal pole right behind the Dawson's. Everyone ran back inside. All of a sudden the captain came on the intercom.
"Everyone please listen up, we are having some technical difficulties. Some of our computers have malfunctioned. One of the computers was our power to the engine room. So until we get this problem fixed we will not be moving any closer to our Hawaiian destination. We expect this to delay us no more than an hour."
Jack, Rose, Nevaeh, and Cora went back to their state room. They all laid on the bed and watched the news for a while then the satellite went out. Shortly after the satellite went out the power went out. The Captain came on the intercom once again.
"The power will be back on momentarily, we have shut all power down to reset our computers. We will make another announcement when out computers are working and our engines have started up again."
"Well maybe it won't be long now. It was already four o' clock so if they were only going to be about an hour off schedule it should be no more than two more hours until they arrive in Hawaii.
