The next day at approximately 12:59pm, we all met up at the clubhouse, and we brought all of our essential needs. Except for Carmen. He brought nothing but video games, a cookbook, and brownies. Real responsible of you, Carmen.

Midnight looked excited, Dawn was enthusiastic, Carmen couldn't wait to get there, while I was extremely tired, and had bags over my eyes. Might I add, I woke up at 2 in the morning, and couldn't fall back asleep because a certain someone was snoring really loud. And I thought I was the loudest one. I yawned really loud.

It didn't take long for Frederica and the submarine to arrive. Frederica popped her head out of the window and smiled and waved to us. "Hello there, fellow crewmates! Top of the afternoon!" Frederica exclaimed. We waved back to her. Aside from me and Carmen, we don't have any arms, so we just smiled.

Frederica parked the submersible and hopped out. She looked at me for a second. "Cobalt, why do you look like roadkill?" She asked. I told her that I woke up at 2:00am, and I couldn't fall back asleep because a certain someone in my household was snoring very loud, and I nudged Carmen. He growled.

Frederica chuckled. "Alright, mates, ready to leave?" Midnight suddenly got this rush of uneasiness, and started to shake uncontrollably. This... was unusual of her. I don't see her freak out too often anymore. Besides, what's she even scared of? A bug? A ride?

"D-do you t-t-t-think there'll be the- uh..." Midnight started hyperventilating. I reassured her that everything will be alright. I didn't help much. She was still panicking. Poor thing. Frederica came over to Midnight to comfort her. "There, there, Midnight. What's bugging you, lass?" She asked calmly. Midnight whispered to Frederica. I didn't hear, but Frederica was understanding, and noticeably worried for Midnight. "Oh. That thing, huh?" Frederica asked. Midnight slowly nodded. Were they talking about me? I highly doubt it.

Midnight finally calmed down. Phew, that's a relief. "Hey, Midnight... were you talking about me?" I asked, sad-sounding. She shook her head. Oh thank heavens.

After that little roller coaster, we were ready to go to Pepperland! Frederica told us that there were no Blue Meanies in sight, which was a relief to all of us. Kind of weird for me to be relieved that my tribe wasn't in sight, but at the same time, I'm kinda glad I won't have to see the chief.

"Everyone ready?" We all nodded. Everyone hopped into the submarine from the hatch, and we set sail to Pepperland.
