Getting off the plane, Rachel wore a new sarong as they came down the ramp. Ross was attired in a pair of linen pants and a blue knicks shirt paired with a suit jacket. His garment bag was slung over his shoulder and his eyes were now covered almost constantly. He had to for the amount of press and attention that Dinosaur Guy was getting. The numbers from the China broadcast were in and they were still riding on the laurels from the preview episode. Two more China episodes were in the can. Dee was now a constant companion to Ross as well as the film crew.

"Aloha." A tall native beauty wearing a pink bikini top placed a kiss on Ross' cheek as Rachel watched. The Hawaiian girl placed a lei around the good doctor's neck. But Rachel had a muscular blonde haired surfer guy place one around her neck as well. "Aloha beautiful lady." He said as he klssed her.

"Now that's what I call a welcome." Smiled Rachel. "I like Hawaii."

Dee took out her notebook. "Ross, we have a press conference at five by the pool, meeting with the professors at University of Hawaii at seven and you are the judge of a Hawaiian Tropic contest at eight." She read down the list.

"Hold it." Said Rachel as Dee mentioned the contest. "Hawaiian Tropic ? Ross is going to judge women in bikinis?" she said flabbergasted.

"It's a dirty job, but someone 's gotta do it." Smiled Ross. Ross could see that Rachel was uncomfortable with this. "It is part of the job honey. You are the only one remember." He said kissing her on the cheek.

Emma was even beginning to get into the act. She had on a pair of white plastic sunglasses and was playing with her own lei. The Gellers and company then set off for their hotel. Ross handled each of his assignments with ease. That night , on their terrace looking out over the beach, the three of them had a dinner complete with drinks with little umbrellas in them.

"To us." Ross said as he lifted his coconut cup.

"My sisters are just going to die. It serves those little brats right." Rachel cooed.

"Sweetie, while we are here. I think we should find Emma a nanny." Ross suggested as he took a sip.

"I sure wish we could get Sandy back I liked him." Rachel said as she looked wistful.

"No! I am not going through that again." Ross argued. "I am this big macho adventurer and I don't need to be around that big baby. It would be bad for my image."

"You were the baby. " Rachel said under the breath. "Okay we will hire someone that we both agree on. And someone that can travel. And someone that comes to an interview wearing a bra." Rachel said remembering their interview for a nanny from before.

The next day, with Emma with a temporary sitter for the day. Ross and Rachel had gone to Ross' first scuba lesson. The professors had informed him and Dee that a lot of their fossil discoveries could be found on the beds of the waters near Hawaii. For a thrilling adventure, Dinosaur Guy would take the viewers as he went below the surface to look for these fossils.

"Now the first thing we are going to do is put on our equiptment." The instructor said. Rachel liked him a lot. He was about twenty five years old and tanned, muscular and he obviously knew what he was doing. She stood in her blue lycra wetsuit , grunting as she tried to lift her scuba tank on her back.

"Here let me help you , maam." He said as he just grabbed the heavy twin tanks and lifted them on her back. He then took the straps and proceeded to take them under her legs.

"Hey , hey she is a married woman. This is a job for her husband." Ross protested. He grabbed the straps and fastened them. The instructor shrugged his shoulder and backed away.

"So when do we go into the ocean?" Rachel squealed with excitement.

"First we have to get you used to being underwater ." the instructor said. "Then we will go into the open water." So then Rachel and Ross , took the regulator and began to suck on it as they were instructed and with their masks around their faces snug. They each put a foot out and pushed off the side of the pool. Shocked they bounced back up.

"Unlike in the movies, you never go right down. You bounce up and test your breathing apparatus and then deflate your bc , that is the little pump. That allows you to go under ." the instructor said as he floated in the water next to them. "Shall we go under now?" the two students nodded and the three of them submerged.

"Gaaa gaaa gaaa." Ross popped back up . "That got in my nose." He said spitting out his regulator. Rachel surfaced to laugh. "Is that what you are going to tell your fans, Dinosaur Guy?" she giggled.

"And are you having any problems aqua woman?" Ross said sarcastically.

"No this is great, " Rachel said as she replaced her reg and went under again. She blew bubbles as she exhaled and then she playfully went over and tugged on Ross' bathing suit. "Hey!" Ross protested. "This isn't the place Rachel." She remained under and giggled as the bubbles floated to the surface.

Ross had that determined look on his face." Okay I have to know what I am doing by Wednesday, so let's get back to teaching me." He said as he pulled the mask down again. Opening his mouth, he replaced the reg. With a thumbs up, he sank back down into the water. Rachel stared at him through her mask and he gave her the okay sign. She began to try to balance herself and swim around. Within a few minutes , their instructor had joined them as well. Trying to teach them the finer points of scuba, he aided them in maneuvering their bodies in the water. Before long, Rachel was swimming around like a little mermaid. Ross kept dropping to the bottom and not being able to balance himself. Finally it happened, and Ross stayed buoyant. The instructor looked at his watch and signaled for them to surface. Ross began to first and then the instructor shook his head. He gave a sign that they should surface slowly. Rachel understood and nodded. She started up first and held onto Ross' weight belt and tank strap to slow him down.

"Well that was awesome." Said Rachel as she surfaced. "I can't wait to go in the ocean." Ross popped up next. "Yeah when do we go in the ocean?" The instructor smiled. "I think you are both ready and Miss Hall told me he has to be ocean ready by Thurs. Tomorrow we will go out on a boat and you will have your first open water dive."

The three of them crawled from the pool and took off their gear. "You do realize that you are not certified and that there is a lot more down there that you don't realize yet." The instructor warned. "Coral, amenomes, jellyfish."

Rachel started to snicker. "We know how to take care of jellyfish." She said looking at Ross as he shared a laugh as they thought of the beach trip.

"And sharks." Ross stopped walking. "Sharks?" he whined.

"I wouldn't worry too much about them. There really aren't any carnivores around here too much. But they are curious, and with you down there with a film crew, they are going to swim around you." The instructor nodded.

Rachel put her hand on Ross shoulder. "Just think of them as big swimming dinosaurs honey, and you will be fine." She grinned. "They are millions of years old, but I have never come face to face with a tyrannosaurus rex either." Ross said with a worried face. "Will we see any tomorrow?' he asked scared.

"Maybe." Said the instructor. Ross wondered was this really a good idea.
