"Well you know that my parents have been talking to the travel agency about a cruise, well the week that they were meant to go on, it was a very busy work week for them so…I kind of bribed them into giving me the tickets, the only problem is, is that there are only two tickets and my folks already paid the deposit on it and we can't just leave the tickets away in a drawer." "What If we draw straws" Tommy said hopefully, "the one with the shortest straw will have to stay." "Sounds only reasonable. " said Merton. Merton got Tommy and Lori to pick a straw," Ok, me first." Said Merton, he looked at the straw, it was the long one, Tommy was next, the straw in his paw would determine whether he take a well deserved break or that he would have to stay and hold the fort. Slowly he opened his paw. He suddenly sighed with happiness, it was the middle sized straw. "I guess I'll have to stay then" said Lori. "Y'know if you want, I'll stay with you, if you want" said Tommy, quite taken aback by how it all turned out. "You go on ahead, I'll be fine" said Lori.

Scene 3: The cruise ship.
"This is exciting, isn't it Jeff" said Jeannie who was drinking a cocktail now. "We're finally here" she said. This had been the first journey that she went on since Marty's death. "Yes, I can't believe it" said Jeff, he was lucky now, Marty had to go for his lessons with Wyvern so he could talk to her alone.
Meanwhile, somewhere else on the ship, Merton and Tommy were getting settled in their cabin, it was only a few hours since it departed from the coast, it had started in Britain and stopped in various places as well. Tommy wasn't wolfed now, that was all over. Tommy was thinking of Lori, what would happen while he was away. Merton could clearly see that something was troubling Tommy so he said, "Hey, why don't we go outside and check out the ship, I want to see if they have what was advertised in the brochure, wanna come". "Ok", said Tommy
