The Carlins took extra time finishing their meal so they could fully enjoy the atmosphere of the charming little restaurant.  Once they had finished they headed out of the town and back towards the ship.  Spencer felt herself grow increasingly nervous as they got closer and closer to the dock.  Not only due to the fact that she was going to be spending time with Ashley, but also her annoying brothers, well brother, were going to be tagging along.

When they finally reached the entrance to the ship it was a little early, and Spencer was relieved to find that Kyla and Ashley weren’t there yet.  Paula and Arthur were getting ready to enter back onto the ship, but not before Paula turned around to face the kids.

   "Alright kids, now I don’t want you guys wandering off into the town or anything.  And Spencer, you have to stay with your brothers, I am just not comfortable with you going off with some girls you just met alone, okay?" instructed Paula sternly.

   "Ok mom.." replied Spencer.  She wished her parents would just hurry up and leave, they were making her even more nervous.

   "Also, make sure that you guys get back in plenty of time.  I don’t want you trying to get on last minute right before the ship is supposed to leave, you hear me?"

   "We know mom, we’ll be back in time," assured Clay.  He was well aware of the fact that his parents seemd a lot more at ease when he promised them that they would be careful, since he was the responsible one out of the three.

   "Okay then..you kids be safe! If something happens you just come back to the ship okay?" 

   "Okay" said the three Carlin kids almost in unison.

Arthur and Paula said their goodbyes and headed into the entrance and to the security area on the ship.  Relieved that they were finally gone, Spencer looked around to make sure that the girls hadn’t arrived yet.  Not spotting them, the blonde sat down on a nearby bench and began focusing on calming nerves.  She didn’t know why Ashley made her so nervous, but she couldn’t help it.
