Chapter Ten

The never-ending questions didn’t quit once everyone was on the yacht a week later, but they did take a different turn. Now the hatchlings were curious about all the new things in their lives that they didn’t have names for. Even Ty didn’t know what a lot of the things Eric took for granted actually were. But he kind of liked being their tour guide.

He’d set up most everything they’d need on the main deck since that was where the pool was. All of them would spend most of their time in the water there—only Ty was going into the ocean to hunt and check their progress—so Eric outfitted the area with all kinds of supplies. He’d taken a day trip over to Kauai to get everything, and was now showing them all that he’d done.

Ty and the hatchlings were in the large, oval-shaped pool watching avidly as Eric showed them the TV and a selection of movies and cartoons he’d downloaded. Just seeing the still images on the screen seemed to knock the questions right out of the kids’ heads. He had a feeling the water-themed Disney movies were going to be a big hit with this crowd.

“We’ll come back to those,” he said and moved to the side of the pool. He’d rigged up a small water slide that could swing in and away, depending on whether they were using it or not. It wasn’t too fancy with only one loop, but he thought they could get some speed going on it given their sleek skin.

He turned on the little pump and a stream of water started cascading down the slide. Primus immediately climbed onto it, watching the water flow, and clearly looking like they were trying to figure it out. Quatrus swam over and bobbed up and down in the water coming off the end of the slide like a tiny waterfall.

“Ingenious, Eric,” Ty said with a big smile.

Feeling like a genius, Eric tapped the ramp going up to the top of the slide. “Come on up here, Primus. This part is for going up.”

Like he knew they would, Primus was eager to be the first and walked up the ramp on their tentacles. Eric had the rest of them move away from the end of the slide for safety’s sake. When Primus got to the top, they looked at the water slithering down, gasped, and gave Eric a beaming smile.

“Yep,” he said, “jump on and slide all the way down.”

“Curl your tentacles,” Ty advised, “so you do not stick suddenly.”

Primus used their hands to hold onto the sides of the slide while curling their tentacles so all the suckers were turned inward. Then they went and made those tentacles into the shape of a raft. Eric was even more proud of his little daredevil. When Primus let go of the sides, the water took them right on down at a quick clip. They squealed the whole way, even after they splashed into the pool at the bottom.
