"Oh I’ve got it!" exclaimed Kyla, "Me and Ash won’t be leaving till later on, so how about we meet you on the dock outside the ship around one or so and then we can all just go down to the beach together."

   "Okay that sounds good, I’m sure my mom will let me go with you guys, and if she doesn’t I’ll still come down and let you know okay?"

   "Alrighty sounds good, I’ll make sure that I get Ashley up and around in time," laughed Kyla.

   "Good luck, I’ll see ya later then"

   "Okay. Have fun with your fam, bye" said the brunette before walking away.

Spencer and her brothers got their food and then rejoined their parents at their table.  

   "Spencer honey, is that girl you were talking to one of your new friends?" asked Paula in a curious tone.

   "Oh yeah, that’s Kyla. She’s here with her sister Ashley, I’ve been hanging out with them a little bit,"

   "That’s great dear, I’m glad you’ve found some other girls your age to hang out with.  She looks like a nice girl,"

   "Yeah, she’s cool,"

   "And hott!" added Glen.

Paula just looked at Glen sternly and shook her head while Arthur and Clay chuckled quietly.  Spencer figured this was as good of time as any to ask her mom about hanging out with Kyla and Ashley at the beach, so she waited until all the conversations died down for a second and turned to her mother, "Um mom, Kyla was wondering if I could go to the beach with her and Ashley after we were done in town today, do you think I could go?"

   "I don’t know Spencer, we are at some foreign country and I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with you wandering around by yourself with some girls you just met," explained Paula.

   "Mom please, we are just going to the beach, we’re not going to wander off anywhere,"

   "I don’t know..you would still be going off alone with people you just met,"

   "How about Clay and I go with you Spencer, you know to keep an eye on her and make sure she’s safe," offered Glen.
