2nd sleepover on board
Vicki felt comfortable with her dad after three nights of sleeping on the ship with the crew and waking up to breakfast in the office the next day, so Merrill and her headed back to his apartment and she slept in her own bed once her dad told her a story and tucked her in for bed that night. Merrill decided the night before they fully sail again another sleepover was in the cards and this time they were going to do it right instead of out of the blue
"Vicki do you have your doll?" Merrill asks her cause they were going to go to the ship in their everyday clothes and not their jammies like last time
Vicki nods as they left the apartment to go to the ship for the sleepover that afternoon cause Isaac planned everything to a t and he even planned some games that they could play to help Vicki adjust to living on a boat full time and Gopher got some pool toys for her so she could have fun when it was just her in the water and there were no kids around either
"Stay close to me okay sweetheart" he says as they were heading for the ship so they could start their sleepover right cause she would have to wear her uniform the next day cause the crew had to go back to sailing again and Merrill was going to do it with Vicki on board this time and he had to be a captain and a father at the same time and that was not going to be easy in the beginning
Vicki stayed close to her father as they headed for the ship that afternoon cause once they were on board they were going to go swimming and have lunch as well and make it a fun day too
(Ship)
"Here we are home sweet home" he says as they were going to board the ship once again this time it was to stay cause they were going to live on the ship from then on
Merrill takes her to her cabin and they were going to get changed into their swimsuits and they were going to join everyone else in the pool for some fun in the sun to get the festivities underway
"Daddy going to get changed first okay" he says as he was going to change into his trunks and then he was going to help her with her suit as well after he got ready for the pool
Vicki sat on the couch in his office while he got ready and once he was ready he came out and got her ready in her once piece swimsuit that Julie had picked out for her to wear cause he wanted her to feel special for once
"Ready to go to the pool sweetheart?" he asks her
She nods cause she was ready to see the pool that the ship had on board cause he told her that the ship had three mini pools by the big pool so she could be in the baby pool if she wanted
(Deck)
"Here we are Vicki the lindo deck this is where the pool is" Merrill says as they walked on deck together and they were going to go to the pool so she could get her feet wet
Merrill put the towels down somewhere and he helped her to the baby pool so she could get her feet wet and splash around a little bit while he was in the big pool
"Hello sir" Gopher says as he joins the captain and Vicki on deck in his trunks as well
"Hello, Gopher are the others coming too?" Merrill asks him
"Yes, Julie is right behind me and Doc should be coming as well" Gopher says as he puts his towel down and was going to get in the water as well, so he could enjoy it
Julie joins the group a few minutes later and she was going to get a tan before she got in the water and Doc was going to sit on deck and not in the water until later
"Anyone want anything from the bar?" Isaac asks cause he was still going to be bartender for the sleepover
"Club soda for me" Merrill says as he was with Vicki in the baby pool and Vicki was loving it cause she was pretending she was making a water angel in the pool
"Anything exotic for me" Julie says as she was still tanning right now
"Water for me" Doc says as he was going to take his shirt off and get some sun as well
"Lemonade" Gopher says cause he wanted to feel responsible a little bit cause he was going to be swimming with the captain and Vicki as well
Isaac got the drinks and he delivered them to everyone and he got Vicki some lemonade to try cause she was too young for club soda yet
"You having fun baby?" Merrill asks her as he was in the big pool with Gopher
Vicki nods and she tried to swim a little bit in the small pool right now
"Okay I will let you be" Merrill says as he gets out and was going to dry off before he joins her on the side a little bit before he goes back in for another round
Gopher gets out too and was going to dry off and get some sun as well cause it was so nice
"Anyone getting hungry?" Isaac asks cause he was going to take care of the food cause he was going to get in cause everyone was happy with their drinks right now
Most of the crew was getting hungry so Isaac was going to arrange for the buffet to be brought up and set up so the crew could dig in right now, and enjoy the day before they sail again this time with Vicki on board
