After their day’s adventures by the pool, Lagoona and her siblings were totally worn out and ready to eat. With the surf pool and lap pool closed for most of the afternoon—thanks, most likely, to Toralei’s kitty chaos—Lagoona spent the last bit of the afternoon playing on the waterslide with her brothers. When they’d all had enough rides, she bundled her brothers up in a huge, fluffy towel and squeezed the water off their little bodies. As soon as they were dry, all five kids dressed up for dinner and met their parents in the dining room. Lagoona felt like a princess in her new aqua dress with magenta platform sandals. Her hair was long and loose, extra wavy from the sea air, and her skin was sun-kissed from a whole day outside.

“So how’s the ship treating everyone?” Lagoona’s dad asked, relaxing back into his chair. “Pretty fancy, yeah?”

“It’s so fintastic, Dad,” Kelpie said. “Today, Lagoona taught us all to surf!”

“Gonna catch some waves out in the deep water with me when we get home, Kelpie?” he asked with a wink.

“Uh…” Kelpie said, glancing at Lagoona for support. “Yeah, maybe.”

Lagoona squeezed her sister’s hand under the table. She knew Kelpie had enjoyed surfing a whole lot more today, when there was no risk of the Kraken coming to get her. She hoped someday her little sister would get over her fear. “They were all fintastic,” Lagoona told her parents. “You’ve definitely got a school of naturals here, Dad. We can show you some of their great new moves tomorrow.”

“About tomorrow,” Lagoona’s mom said, putting down her chopsticks. “I spoke with the cruise director this morning about the upcoming activities and found out there’s a scuba excursion planned for tomorrow morning. Our ship’s course will take us right past a beautiful reef, and apparently there are some interesting shipwrecks you can explore. Would any of you be interested in getting off the ship for the day to swim in the ocean?”

“Would I?” Lagoona said brightly. “Count me in! The pools on the cruise ship are totally amazing, of course—and I’m seriously loving the pampering and poolside drinks—but this ghoul would give anything to stretch her fins in a bigger body of water!”

The other Blues laughed. “I take that as a yes?” Lagoona’s dad asked.

All five kids nodded eagerly, and they spent much of the rest of the meal planning the next morning’s outing. Lagoona couldn’t wait! As much as she loved this fancy cruise, she was feeling a bit homesick for the huge, wild expanses of the ocean. And a trip off-ship would definitely give her a break from Toralei. There was no way the water-fearing cat would venture off the high decks of the cruise ship!

As Lagoona thought wistfully about the next day’s adventure, Kelpie tapped Lagoona’s arm and whispered, “Will the Kraken get us?”

“No,” Lagoona promised. “The Kraken hides out in the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean, mate. If we’re visiting a reef, you don’t have anything to worry about.
