I don't have any rights to the TV show "seaQuest DSV," and I am not making any money by writing this.
A special "Thank You" goes to my wonderful beta-reader Jackie and Lynnp, dolphinology and KatKnits00 for their Reviews.
Some time later, everybody was back in their rooms, re-packing the rest of their things. The crew of the seaQuest would be driving to the airport in one hour.
The blond teen was standing in front of his suitcase, looking at it desperately. For some reason, the darned thing just wouldn't close. And on top of that, his backpack was also full.
He shook his head helplessly. "It doesn't seem to matter what I do, my bag just won't close."
Bridger grinned. "Didn't we have this problem before?"
The computer genius smiled painfully. "Ha ha, very funny. How do you do it? How do you fit everything in your bag?"
"I have hardly any Christmas presents in it, that's how. All my presents have either been sent to the people I'm giving them to, or they've been shipped to to my island. It's very practical because that way, I don't have to carry them around with me," explained Nathan, as he closed the zipper of his bag without any problems.
"Aren't you afraid that the something could get lost in the mail?"
The captain shook his head. "No, the mail gets safer and safer every year. And, I insure everything. That way if something does get lost, the Postal Service has to replace it. But, I have the most valuable and important presents with me. My trust in the mail isn't that great."
"Maybe I'll have to try that in the future." Lucas took two things out of his suitcase and barely managed to get them stuffed into his backpack. Then, he started working on his suitcase again. A few minutes later, he finally managed to close the zipper. He looked at his work with satisfaction. "Ha, nobody can claim that I can't pack."
Bridger bit his lip to keep from laughing.
