Tropical first impression

As everyone was boarding off the airplane, Cortex looked around. The sun was up at the sky, there were fresh palm trees everywhere, and the smell of roses was in the air. Cortex just kept on walking around until he saw the hotel he was about to stay in for three days.

Cortex: Nice place for starters!

The hotel was made out of fresh cedar wood planks and a sturdy foundation to keep it up. Cortex walked inside and headed down to the front desk.

Receptionist: Aloha! What's your name?

Cortex: Cortex. Neo Cortex. And say, what does Aloha mean?

Receptionist: It means hello and goodbye in Hawaii.

Cortex: Oh.

Receptionist: (Handing Cortex a key) Here's your room! Number one hundred eighty six!

Cortex: Thanks.

Cortex walked towards the elevator and pressed the up button. The elevator did come down with some Hawaiian bandicoots. They all rushed passed Cortex with ease and Cortex nearly fell over.

Cortex: Hey! Watch it!

Cortex remembered to control his temper, so as he walked into the elevator, he took a deep breath. When the elevator went to the desired floor Cortex wanted, Cortex arrived at his room, and then walked in through the door and locked it. Cortex looked around him. It almost looks like those fancy hotels only jungle themed. Cortex went to the room's storage room and dumped his entire luggage in. Cortex looked in his pocket. He had three hundred dollars left.

Cortex: (Walking towards the front door and opening in) Now to see the world of Hawaii! Oh yeah, and to use my money wisely!

And Cortex knew that the world of Hawaii would await him as he walked through the hotel's front door.

AT CORTEX CASTLE

Nina was glad to be in charge of the castle for a couple of reasons. First of all, she is the boss which means that she can order anything she wants. Second of all, she can make decisions if she wants to make a plan to get Crash or not. Obviously, she doesn't want to make a plan at the moment.

Nina: I can't believe I will get treated like Cortex now!

Sunny: Yes, such great pleasure!

Rafael: So what is your first command?

Nina: Well…I want a chocolate flavored three scoop ice cream please!

Rafael: Alright!

Rafael left the room to get some ice cream for Nina. Nina smirked.

Sunny: Any plans on how to defeat Crash?

Nina: Nope.

Sunny: I see if there is a plan!

Sunny then left the room to the security room. After a few minutes later, Rafael came back with the ice cream.

Rafael: Sorry, for the delay.

Nina: (Grabbing the ice cream) it's okay.

Rafael: So. Got any plans on how to get Crash?

Nina: Not really.

Rafael: Oh well. Maybe you could think of something. Tell me when you have a plan!

Nina: I will!

Rafael left as Nina licked on her ice cream.

AT CRASH'S HOUSE

Everything was pretty normal at Crash's house. Polar and Pura was playing around in the sunshine, Coco was on her laptop, Crunch was doing target practice with a bunch of homemade targets he built and he shoot all of them with his rockets, and Crash was sitting under some cool shade drinking a Wumpa fruit shake.

Crash: Ahhhh! Nothing better than some cool shade under the hot sun! (Sip)

Coco: Yeah. I have a feeling Cortex is out of plans on how to get us!

Crunch: (Shooting a rocket) Oh sure! Cortex has never given up on us before! Why should he take the chance to do so right now?

Coco: I don't know.

Crash: (Sip) so you think I should go up to the castle again?

Coco: Really Crash? The last thing I need is another knock-out whack!

Crunch: And Crash, we'll be more cautious next time too!

Crash: I just want to figure out everything about what's going on at the castle!

Crunch: I'm serious about this Crash!

Coco: Wait Crunch. I should've done this earlier but if Crash goes up to the castle, then I'm going with him!

Crash's Mind: Whoa Whoa Whoa! I can't risk sis though!

Crunch: (Sigh) Fair enough. I'll go look after Pura and Polar.

Crash: Wait sis! I can't lose you!

Coco: Just like you too! Now I'm going up there if you are going to!

Crash: (Sigh) Okay.

Crash finished up the last of his Wumpa shake and threw his cup away. The cup was just the cracked shell of a coconut.

Crash and Coco then headed up towards Cortex Castle.

AT HAWAII

Cortex headed down to the beach.

Cortex: Okay. Here is the plan. I'll go walk around the beach, probably do something there, I'll go get a cuisine, then see if there are any shows around here!

Cortex went to the boardwalk and just walked on it just trying to let the breeze go past him. Cortex enjoyed the sunshine too. He saw bandicoots building sandcastles, making forts, and even making chairs for you to sit on.

Cortex: Nice. I wonder what happens if I go try one!

Just as a bandicoot finished building a chair, Cortex ran and then jumped and sat onto it with perfect accuracy. The chair collapsed and the next thing Cortex knew, he was on a small but not deep sand hole.

Bandicoot: Hmm. Not enough water mixture!

Cortex standed up and then walked away feeling disgusted in him. He saw a phone booth up against a tree so he picked up the phone and called up Nina.

AT CORTEX CASTLE

Nina finished up her ice cream when she heard Cortex calling her. She hurried to the phone and called back.

Nina: Hello?

Cortex: Hello daught- err I mean niece!

Nina: Hey uncle. So how is Hawaii so far?

Cortex: Nice. Sometimes a can get in a muddle but I'll just make my way through the high blood pressure thing!

Nina: Well that's good!

Cortex: So how's it been going in the castle?

Nina: Everything is going pretty well. The only thing that happened wrong was that I just learned that Dingodile broke a table but the others are fixing it.

Cortex: Ah. Sounds great at my Castle! Well, other than that that is! Well, I have to go now! Don't want to waste any of my time of Hawaii!

Nina: Yeah, understand. Bye Uncle!

Cortex: (Hanging up) Bye.

Cortex spied a nearby tropical restaurant over there. It looked like those wine bars at clubs only the seats were wooden and it was not wine, it was an outdoor kitchen. Cortex sat down on a chair while the waiter took his order.

Waiter: What would you like?

Cortex: Uh, (Looks at the menu) I'll have Hawaiian spaghetti with some cherry cider please!

Waiter: Okay.

The waiter walked away towards the kitchen and then Hawaiians cook really fast, and Cortex's meal was done within ten minutes.

Cortex: (Eating) Mmm! This is good!

After Cortex finished up his meal, he went to go see a Hawaiian dance. Cortex had a really good time there; he saw lots of hula dancing which surprised him a little bit. But then, a few minutes later, the announcer spoke with his voice booming.

Announcer: Greetings everyone! I am happy to see that everyone is enjoying the dance! However, I want to have more men dance up! Would all of the men please come forward to the stage!

Everyone looked at Cortex and Cortex was shocked in his mind. Well, at least there were a couple of male bandicoots walking forward but Cortex never thought he would go dance. Cortex gulped but took a deep breath.

Cortex's Mind: Why do I have to do this?!

Cortex slowly walked forward to the stage.
