Sailing with Vicki
Merrill was glad he was able to get Vicki all settled in and used to the ship as well cause before they knew it was time for another cruise and this time he was going to have her on board as his daughter so it was going to be a special cruise for the both of them
"Vicki let me help you with your uniform" Merrill says cause he had to put on his Captain's shirt with his tie cause he was going to be greeting passengers as they were going to be coming on board cause he wanted her to look presentable cause a member of the line was going to come on board and see how Merrill does with Vicki and if he can balance being a dad and being a captain as well cause he really wanted to show them that he could do both and be a dad at the same time
Merrill was able to get her to look presentable as well before going down to greet passengers as well
"Okay Vicki grab your doll and we will head down to the lobby where you will be with Gopher as I stay close and greet passengers as well and then once all of the passengers are on board the ship we will go up to the bridge the three of us and you will see how daddy drives the ship cause it different from driving a car" he says as they headed for the lobby together
Vicki pushes her doll in her stroller as they headed to the lobby
"Vicki I'll carry dolly's stroller down while you carry dolly down to the lobby and then once we are down in the lobby you can put dolly back in her stroller" he tells her cause he was going to carry the stroller down the steps for Vicki while she had her doll as well
Vicki was okay with that cause her doll was her favorite toy that she had cause she never goes anywhere without it and Merrill knew Vicki was going to be a great mom when the time came and right now he is just fine pretending to be the doll's grandpa
"Vicki I will be right back I will get dolly's bottle" Merrill tells her cause they forgot the bottle for the doll
"Okay daddy" Vicki says as she was going to push the stroller to the desk where Gopher was waiting for her
"Hey Vicki you look beautiful" Gopher says when he sees her for the first time in her uniform as well
"Thanks Gopher" she says as she spins around cause her uniform was a dress uniform for now
"Vicki let me fix your hair so you look perfect" Julie says as she was going to do Vicki's hair for her so she look presentable for the passengers that were coming on board the princess as well for their cruise
Julie did pigtails for Vicki and she loved them a lot
"There we go you look pretty as a picture" Julie says as she shows Vicki her hairstyle as well
"Thanks Julie" Vicki says as Merrill came back with the bottle for the doll
"Here we go sweetheart I'm thinking dolly is hungry by now" Merrill says as he was going to put Vicki up on the counter for the time being
"Not yet daddy I fed her in the cabin I think she is sleepy" Vicki says as she was rocking her doll
"Vicki it looks like we got the first passengers" Gopher tells her as passengers started to come on board the princess that day
Vicki was excited to be welcoming passengers on board with Gopher since Julie and Doc were going to be checking passengers in as well. As passengers checked in Merrill was smiling as Vicki was telling the passengers their cabin number cause she knows how to count to five so the numbers were easy for her to say as Gopher did the floor and showed them where their cabin was cause Vicki didn't know the ship that well just yet but she was going to learn in time
(Later)
"Okay Vicki I think it is time to head to the bridge and you will get to see how daddy drives the ship" Merrill says as he was going to take her to the bridge since he took the doll stroller up there already so all he had to do was take Vicki and her doll up there as well so she could look over the bar to see where they were going
"After this we have to do the lifeboat drill then the two of us can play or you can play by yourself" he tells her as they headed to the bridge
Vicki was loving this time she was getting with her dad and seeing what he does for a living as well cause she was going to be staying on the ship and not getting off to go to school or anything like that
"Here we are the main place where daddy will be let me put you in his chair and you can watch as he backs the ship out
Vicki could hear everyone saying goodbye to the people on the shore and she didn't want to do that just yet she wanted to be with her dad and he didn't blame her either cause she wanted to do it together with him
'Okay Vicki we can say goodbye and throw some confetti as well" Merrill says as he was going to take her to the side of the bridge so they could do it together
Merrill loved this time he got with her cause he knew he was not going to get it back ever
"I think daddy needs to hold you as we throw the confetti until you are roll enough to do it on your own" he says as he was going to help her with the confetti
Merrill and Vicki loved the time that they got to spend together as well
