Dancer looked green at the thought of parasailing for an entire month..."ummm no, I don't think I'd like that very much at all. How about a beach? With an umbrella and a chair? And a good Stephen Lawhead book? Is Hood finished yet?"

"That's just fine," said Lazer. "I'm sure that there will even be music for you to dance to. And the monkey makes a mean pineapple slushy drink!"

"Oh dancing! Now that IS music to my ears!" "Monkey, what monkey?"

"We'll have to find you a dedicated beach first, since we can't get you to MotM Island anymore," explained Lazer. "Monsieur Monkey was caretaker there. Maybe the new place will have as dedicated a helper as he was. I don't know how we'd ever replace Bob the Betta, though. He took off for Sea World -- said he was bored beyond tears with staying on the Island any longer. Now I ask you, can you imagine?"

"So Lazer, how long have you been flying heroes around and taking people to MoTM island?" "Are you a dragon?" dancer asked. She still couldn't get her brain around all that had happened so very quickly. She stumbled upon the hero command center and was immediately whisked away to MoTM island...not really understanding why. Why must the MoTM be secluded? And where was that inferno MoTM island anyway? And who is Monsieur Monkey? A monkey? Serving pinapple slush drinks? Thinks, well, if it has bananas in it, it might be pretty good. OHHHH strawberries too...wonders if there are Dublin Dr. Peppers on MoTM island. She might have withdrawals.

As Lazer was trying (trying, trying, ...) to find out just what solitary vacation spot [purple]dancer[/purple] would like to be taken to in lieu of MotM Island, ehbo was directing the placement of the last portrait in the cabin. As his nephew held it up, ehbo stood back to see if that was just the right place. "No, not quite. Raise it a quarter of an inch." Monsieur Monkey pulled out his calculator to see how many centimeters that was.
There was a knock. ehbo frowned and turned toward the door. "I thought Bob took off ...?" He opened the door, and a note fell to the ground. Picking it up and opening it, he read, "Hello, second cousin once removed! Just passing through -- wondered if you'd finally like to meet? [brown]T[/brown]."
ehbo looked sharply this way and that, but didn't see a soul. He turned back into the cabin. "Monkey, is this another one of your pranks?"
The monkey stood there holding (and holding and holding) the portrait. "No, Monsieur, I assure you, I have nozhing to do weeth whatever zees eez about!"
[brown]Tegid[/brown] stood on the porch, watching to see if this really could happen.

The note crumpled in ehbo's clenched fist as he came at the monkey. But then the cabin rocked with a terrific explosion, and bright multicolored lights danced through the windows. ehbo tore back outside and saw a brilliant display of fireworks lighting up the sky and spelling out, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ehbo! - [brown]T[/brown]."

Dancer looked up in the sky and saw fireworks way off in the distance. "Wow! What was that?" She begins to wonder if they will just fly around the entire month or if they will ever find a beach to land on before her month is up and a new member is given the honor of MoTM.

Lazer zoomed down toward the fireworks. "It's a ship! And I think I know who it is..."
With a smooth dive, Lazer dropped onto the helicopter pad and lowered his shoulder so Dancer could climb down.
"I thought I was going to an island!" She looked around. "Why are we stopping here?"
Lazer shrugged. "You'll love it, especially the dance floor. Oh, and don't get too concerned if you don't see anybody. The ship will serve you like you're royalty and you can stop off at any island, isolated or touristy as you please. Just mention it to the control room."
As Lazer raised his wings to take off, Dreamer thought she heard him add, "Launch, those fireworks were inspired! I was having a hard time locating you till then," but she wasn't sure and didn't want to insult him by thinking he'd talk to an inanimate ship.

As the sun slowly faded into night, dancer looked around the ship and decided to pick out a stateroom. Poking her head into one door after another, she finally found one that was totally decorated in purple. "Ah, this must be my room," she thought. "I think I could get used to this."

Dancer climbed out of the shipboard pool and dropped into the prepared ounge chair. She lay back in the sun sipping a chilled glass of Dublin Dr. Pepper. "Ah, I needed this! What a wonderful break. Now for touring a town or two. My time here is almost up. Where do I want to go before it's too late? Italy? The Keys? Hmmm..."
She opened her eyes to find a fresh glass of Dr. Pepper waiting. "I really wish I knew how that happened." She sighed. "This invisible service is just a little creepy."

"Where would you like to go for your remaining time on MOTM cruises?" intoned a deep voice. dancer turned to look, but saw no one.

"How about Ireland? I'd love to tour by the island...and see the beautiful country."...she thinks to herself...wonder if I could tour a few castles while we're there...

"Dunguaire Castle coming right up!" said the voice. "I'll reserve you a seat in tonight's Mediaeval banquet. Your costume will be in your room shortly. Oh, and you might want to put on a seatbelt."
Clamps rose out of the floor and secured the lounge to the deck and a four point harness toppled out of compartments around the edge of the chair. A glistening dome shimmered into existance over the chair and dreamer watched in shock as the entire ship shifted into a speed boat.
"I'll let you know when it's safe to walk about. You'll have plenty of time to dress up and get ready. Tomorrow I'll prepare a plane to take you to any castles you'd like to see before you have to head home."
With a roar, the ship shot forward.

"Oh, this is gonna be even better than that airboat ride we were looking into taking next month!" said [purple]dancer[/purple]. "Ireland and castles, instead of a swamp and alligators! And cheaper!"
