The Suite Life on Deck (Season 2)

16. Can You Dig It?

And we are officially back on track!! I missed this one a lot and I'm so glad to be back. Really hope you're liking it 💛

We were going on a field trip to an Island today so we were all gathered in the lobby of the ship. Miss Tutweiler walked into the lobby as we were waiting. "Okay class, today we will be visiting the ancient tomb of Zaria." She said excitedly. "I haven't been this excited about digging stuff up since our house got swallowed in the mud slide which followed the flood and the locusts swarm." "Bailey, we agreed to never speak of that." I told her, and she looked down sheepishly. "Sorry."

"Now I assume you all did your reading in preparation for today's dig....she said doubtfully." Miss Tutweiler said, looking down at the ground sadly. 

"I didn't do the reading, but I'm prepared!!" London sang, taking up a small bucket and shovel. "I brought my old pail and shovel."

Cody laughed humourlessly. "Wow. What do you use for a microscope, something so old it was designed by Anthony Van Leeuwenhoek?" Cody joked, and Bailey laughed and they high fived. I just put my hand on my head. These two...

"You know I've heard better trash talk from mimes." Marcus told them.

"That bus ride up the mountain was awesome." Zack said excitedly. "I can't believe how narrow that road was." Bailey said and I nodded. "I was so sure we were gonna fall off the side and into a firey death." London said. I looked at her, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. "Didn't you think so Miss Tutweiler?"

Miss Tutweiler appeared being supported by Cody and Marcus, and she looked terrified. "I thought we were gonna die!!"

"Miss Tutweiler, snap out of it, we're off the bus." Marcus assured her. She was making weird noises. "Why can't I breathe?" She asked. A dude waltzed up to her dramatically. "Because we are at 3000 feet. But it's okay. Relax. Welcome I am Luiz, your guide." He said, helping her breathe. "And you are?" He asked. "Single." She responded, no hesitation. Then she snapped out of it. "Emma Tutweiler. And this is my class from Seven Seas High." She said, introducing us. We waved. "Um, excuse me Luiz I have a question." Marcus spoke up. "Is it about our beautiful architecture?" He asked, putting an arm around Marcus' shoulder. "Or the legends of our Kings and Queens? Maybe you are curious about the SACRIFICES," He yelled at the end, making some of us jump. "That were rumoured to have taken place on this very spot." He said, making dramatic actions.

"Well I just wanna know where the bathroom is." Marcus told him. "Or the sacrifices are gonna be the second worse thing that has happened on this very spot." Marcus mirrored the guy's actions.

"The bathroom is over there. But, you will need this." He said, handing Marcus a wooden plank. "Is there a key on this?" Marcus asked him confused. "No the door is open. That is for the spiders." Luiz told him. "Do I need a stick this big to kill spiders?" Marcus asked, still confused. "No no that's not going to kill them. It just knocks them out long enough for you to go." My eyes widened.

"Okay..." Marcus said, scared and walked off. "So kids, and lovely teacher," Miss Tutweiler snorted when she laughed. "Today I will take you on a journey to the past." He pronounced journey like "yourney" though. 

"Oh goodie, I wanna go back to this morning, were I was on a luxury cruise, and not a big pile of dirt." London said, closing her eyes tightly. 

Luiz walked over to her happily. "Still here." He said. London sighed. "This dirt happens to contain may important artefacts from my country's history. Including the burial of Princess Zaria." London gasped. 

"Oh I'm going to go to the gift shop and see if they have this in a bobble head!" She said excitedly, looking at the small statue of the Princess's head. And she ran off. "I will now tell you the story of Princess Zaria's fable crown. It was crafted for the Princess by-"
