Author's Note: As many of you know, Mercedes will be going on a cruise this chapter. In no way, shape or form am I making fun or endorsing the tragic cruise ship accident that happened this weekend. To be honest, I was a little reluctant writing this chapter due to that. But while reading, please understand that I do not mean to make fun of the cruise ship accident this weekend, and I am truly praying for the victims. Enjoy.

"Which one is it?" Mercedes asked her mom, looking at the colorful boats docked in New York City harbor.

"It's the one right there," she responded pointing to a large red and blue boat docked to her left. "It's called the Carnival Dream. It's a real pretty boat."

"How did you afford this?" Mercedes questioned.

"Money isn't an issue, honey. But you are in the penthouse suite! Enjoy yourself, spend money, we have no worries."

They parked their car and walked towards the terminal. They hit security, and Mrs. Jones had to say goodbye to her child.

"Bye Mom, make sure not to go crazy!"

"Fuck that Mercedes," Mrs. Jones responded. "I'm going to go fuck bitches and get money!"

Afterwards, Mrs. Jones ran back to her car. As they went through security, one of the guards questioned Mercedes.

"How old are you?"

"17."

"Are you traveling alone?"

"No," Mercedes responded. "I'm traveling with my love."

"Male or Female?"

"Tater tots." Mercedes smiled at the guard and removed the pack of tater tots from her backpack.

"The fuck? You love tater tots? What are you, gay?"

Mercedes glowered at the guard. "I is not gay, I is totsexual. Mix that up again and one testicles will be in your asshole."

"Welcome aboard!" he responded. Mercedes was then greeted and taken up to her penthouse.

It was huge. As she walked in, the cruise ship concierge clapped two times. Two turquoise curtains opened. Mercedes looked around and saw the beauty of the room. In each corner was a dark green couch with small seashells, and behind a small black curtain was a huge brown king size bed. Mercedes ran towards it and took a big jump, and felt herself moving right to left; it was a waterbed.

"Glad you enjoy the room. Remember, tomorrow we will be docking in Nassau. Checking over your itinerary… you will be going to the Atlantis resort and go swimming with dolphins. Except there is an issue," the concierge warned Mercedes.

"And that is?" Mercedes questioned; still squishing from right to left on her waterbed.

"It's a reservation for two. Who's the other person?"

"Not person!" Mercedes babbled again. "Tater tots."

The concierge took a deep breath. "If that's what you want, M'am. Just make sure to be up around ten o'clock tomorrow for your Atlantis excursion."

Mercedes smiled- this was going to be a great trip.

The bright sun of Nassau rose between the east and west royal towers of Atlantis. Mercedes pulled her tater tots out of her pocket to show them the view. She gave them a quick kiss and murmured, "We're here." The top tater tot slightly moved to the left. "I'm glad you asked what we're doing first… let me see." Mercedes put her right hand into her pocket and felt around for a crumpled up itinerary. She pulled it out and read that first they will be going swimming with dolphins.

"Dolphin Cay is over there. Let's go tater tots!" Mercedes let the tater tots go first, and had her arm extended out holding the tater tots before her. On the way, she got looks from everyone, but she didn't care. She was totsexual and no one could change that.

"Here it is!" Mercedes said as she stepped onto the pathway leading to the dolphin cay building. "Hello," she exclaimed as she approached the staff woman there. "I have a dolphin cay reservation for two?"

"Mercedes Jones?"

"Yes M'am," Mercedes responded. "And my tater tots."

"That's a cute name for your love. You will be in building three."

As she walked towards that building, more looks filled in. Mercedes kept her head up high.

"Hello M'am!" A lady with a pink shirt said. "You are going to need a wetsuit for swimming with the dolphins. Here, try this one on," the lady said giving Mercedes a black wetsuit.

"I need another one for my tater tots," Mercedes said, revealing the tater tots that she was holding.

"M'am, you can't bring those into the water. The dolphins will eat them."

"I reserved a spot for them," Mercedes responded. "They will be going with me, and if you want to stop it you can talk to them."

"You want me to talk to some tater tots?" The lady replied.

"Not just some tater tots, my tater tots."

"Okay then," the lady said. She bent down on one knee and started talking to Mercedes' tater tots. "Hello there, tater tots. You cannot go in the water. You will die."

"They said no, now give them a wetsuit."
The lady unwillingly gave them a very small wetsuit, and Mercedes put the bag in there.

"Now, go over all the way to the right side of the lagoon, your dolphin trainer will be waiting for you."

"Thanks," Mercedes said, starting her journey to her trainer.

"I thought they stopped the sale of weed here," the woman murmured to herself.

Mercedes spotted her dolphin trainer, and started walking towards him. "Hi! I'm Mercedes. What's your name?"

"Decarlo is my name. This is Cosmo, your dolphin." Cosmo splashed some water on Mercedes, and she laughed.

"He's so cute!"

"Yes he is!" Decarlo responded. "And you'll have him to yourself, am I right?"

Mercedes said what she's been saying all day. "Actually no. I have my tater tots love with me."

"That's great," Decarlo said, knowing he shouldn't fight with a guest. "So this is Cosmo. He weighs approximately 550 pounds, and is one of our smartest dolphins here. Grab a kickboard," Decarlo explained handing Mercedes and her tots a green and red kickboard. "And Cosmo will give you a foot push. Pretty little lady, you can go first," he said, gesturing to Mercedes.

She laid flat on her kickboard, one leg out, and then Decarlo put his mouth to a whistle and blew it.

Before she could blink, Cosmo swam up to her foot and started pushing her to the other side of the lagoon. She screamed out of excitement, this had to be one of the most fun things she's ever done. The dolphin swam away from her feet, and Mercedes' foot push was done.

"Did you have fun?" Decarlo screamed across the lake.

"It was awesome! Now it's time for my tater tots!" Mercedes screamed back.

Decarlo put her tater tots on a kickboard, and the dolphin did the push again. Except, Cosmo got a little unbalanced. He accidently turned over to one side, and the tater tots fell to the bottom of the lake. Cosmo dived after them, hoping to get a snack.

"Tater tots! He can't eat them! I have to save them!" Mercedes exclaimed, diving in after her tots.

She was one reach away, till the dolphin came and grabbed them in his mouth.

"Cosmo! Put them down!" Decarlo hopelessly screamed. But his screams were not heard by the dolphin.

Mercedes was treading the water. "There has to be something you can do!"

"There is one thing," Decarlo quickly explained. "I have a whistle that'll have the dolphin come to me, but it's new, we've never used it before."

"Blow it!" Mercedes screamed.

Time stopped. With one blow of that whistle, every dolphin in the lagoon came over to Decarlo, and lied down. Not a single flipper moving. Just stayed still as a rock, near Decarlo. He slowly tugged at the bag in Cosmo's mouth, but it wouldn't move. With one quick tug he pulled the bag, but one tater tot fell in the water. Mercedes didn't see that though, she was too busy swimming over to him.

Mercedes finally arrived. "You saved them!"

Decarlo smiled. "I saved them."

"Thank you so much!" Mercedes exclaimed. She hugged Decarlo. "I think my time is up though. Thank you!" She exited the water with her tater tots. Little did she know that one tater tot was missing.

"It's just one tater tot," Decarlo murmured to himself. He waved goodbye to Mercedes, and continued his day like normal.

Mercedes took a taxi back to the Carnival boat. That day she realized that sometimes she has to take risks for her tots, but if they love her, they will always come back.

Mercedes took a step back onto the ship, getting ready for the long night ahead.

I am going to stop posting when the next chapter will be out, just hope for one every Sunday. I can assure you, next chapter will be the funniest chapter yet.
