Pulling the pillow over his head, Marcus tried to drown out the deep boat horn blasting, signalling arrival to their destination. He could not sleep the night before, being kept awake by the excitement of the adventures that lie ahead. The Horn blew again, this time waking Shinx, who lay at the foot of the bed. Realizing Marcus was not going to get out of bed on time, Shinx took it upon himself to wake his friend. Gently touching the tip of his tail to Marcus' exposed foot, he gave the boy a light jolt, making him jump out of bed. 
"I overslept again, didn't I pal?" Marcus asked, rubbing his foot. Shinx only nodded, laying back down on the bed while Marcus scrambled to get dressed. 
"Don't forget breakfast." Marcus said as he tossed a poffin from a container within his bag also pulling out a banana for himself. As the duo raced down the halls of the ship making their way portside. Racing down the ramp Marcus was surprised to find... only one other person their. Looking back at his brochure, he was sure he was in the right place. 
"Hey would you look at that" Marcus said to Shinx "We aren't the last ones to arrive this time!!" Marcus exclaimed, getting a paw-five from Shinx. 
"Looks like we just chill here till everyone else gets here." He said sitting on a bench on the dock, Shinx laying at his feet.
