?Um?uh?I?m going to be sick,? Marie, said as she ran to the railing of the boat and threw up.
?Right behind ya!? Gabrielle yelled in a sick voice.
Ann and Christa yelled, ?Eeeeeewwww!?
?Oh come on you guys! It?s not that disgusting,? Xena said with an evil grin on her face.
After tossing their cookies they begged John to go back to the cabin. Seems they were tired. But John was not listening,
because he was tossing his cookies over the rail as well.
Christa looked at Xena and said, ?You still think it is not so disgusting??
?Okay! Maybe a little.?
Chapter three
After everyone that was seasick, felt better, they went exploring the ship. Then there was a thud and it scared the girls, but
Marie?s daddy told them it was just the boat docking.
?Okay girls, we?re here.? Ann said.
?Where is here?? They all asked at the same time.
?Why, we?re at Castaway Key,? Ann replied. ?This is where you can play on the island and have fun at the beach.?
?Can we collect pretty shells at the beach and bring them home, Mommy?? Marie asked.
?Sure. But some might break on the way home, so don?t be disappointed.? Ann answered.
?Can we eat there? I?m hungry,? Gabrielle asked Ann.
All her friends giggled at what Gabrielle asked.
Ann said, ?Of course we can. It wouldn?t be fun if we couldn?t eat at the beach, right??
?Yeah! Last one on the beach is a rotten egg,? Marie said as she took off down the ramp. Follow me guys!? And the girls went
running after Marie. This was going to be the best part of the cruise.
Finally! They were at the beach and the girls were playing by the water and John and Ann were lying in the hammock together
sipping a cold drink and giggling together.
They girls were building sea turtles out of sand, when all of a sudden they heard?
Ayyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyi! They looked up and couldn?t believe what they saw.
?Isn?t that Xena swinging from those trees?? Christa asked.
?Yep. That sure is,? Gabrielle proudly said. ?That?s my pal Xena!?
?Oh! She better be careful or she could hurt herself and my mommy will get angry if she sees her. She would worry. My
mommy is a worrywart.? Marie giggled. ?But it sure looks like fun.?
?Come on guys it?s fun!? We can all swing and play together in the trees,? Xena called to her friends. With that all her friends
went running to her to play and swing on the vines.
There they were all swinging around and playing having a great time, when Ann looked around and realized that they weren?t
making sea turtles. She got off the hammock and looked around and was shocked to see the girls swinging from tree to tree.
?Hey, kids, what are you doing?? Ann asked.
?Swinging, and it?s fun!? Marie replied, ?You oughta try it.?
?No thank you, just be careful, also have fun,? Ann said.
?I thought you said your mom was a worrywart?? Gabrielle said.
?She is. I?m shocked! She never ever would let us do this,? Marie said.
?Well she?s being nice. Then that?s all that matters,? Xena said.
~~~~~~
?Darn it! We have to get back on the boat. It?s time to leave Castaway Key.? Christa and Marie whined.
?Come on kids. Gotta get back to the boat. Don?t want to miss it.? John said as he started picking up the stuff. All of a sudden
he notice that Little Xena and Little Gabrielle weren?t around?
?Marie? Where is Xena and Gabrielle??
