Subject: Six Days Seven Nights- Chapter 2

Here is chapter two of a most interesting cruise. I apologize for the week
delay, but Nifty asked for a slight pause in posting for a week and I was
more than willing to oblige. In this chapter the boys from the east meet
the boys from the west. Things start to heat up and the reference isn't to
the weather.


Six Days Seven Nights
by Douglas DD
Chapter 2
"Palmland Suites"


Douglas woke up with a horrid hangover. He moaned, crawled over a still
sleeping Nipper and stumbled down the stairs to his bathroom. He peed and
then heard the phone ring downstairs. It stopped when one of his parents
answered it.  He went back to bed, and crawled in, placing himself between
Nipper and Tyler. T was also sleeping on the bed. "Sure glad I have a big
bed," Douglas thought.

It wasn't long until other boys started to wake up, and soon everybody was
awake. Tyler and Nipper had the worst hangovers as they had tried using the
beer bong Travis and Douglas had constructed. While, at times, they got
almost as much beer over their naked bodies as they got in them, it still
made them plenty drunk.

The boys headed downstairs to sample the pancakes Mary, Douglas and
Nipper's mom, was making; at least those boys who felt like eating. Mary
and Larry, their dad, both laughed at their hung-over sons and friends.

"Serves you right for overindulging."

Nipper just groaned and grabbed a couple of pancakes. He didn't feel like
putting syrup on them. He just grabbed them and sat at the table and
ate. The boys were all naked. They had gotten so used to running around the
house naked they didn't even flinch at the parents seeing them in their
state of undress.

"I got a phone call this morning," Mary said.

"I heard the phone ring," Douglas said.

"And you just went back to bed?" Larry said laughing. Douglas stuck his
tongue out at him.

"After your friends leave we need to discuss it."

"Oh?" Douglas asked. This must be something ominous, he thought. He tried
to figure out what he or Nipper might have done wrong, but he couldn't come
up with anything out of the ordinary.

Later that afternoon, Mary called Douglas and Nipper to talk with her and
Larry about the phone call.

"Since Travis can't go on the cruise, we still have one available ticket,"
Larry said.

"This is about the cruise?" Douglas asked.

"Well, yeah."

"Good," Nipper said. "I thought we were in trouble or something".

Larry laughed and asked them what they had done to make them think
that. They both remained silent, so he laughed even louder, which got the
whole family to laughing hysterically.

Once everybody settled down, Mary went on to explain what the call was
about. Chandler's parents were going to a convention in November. While
Chandler had a lot of friends, he seemed to enjoy staying at Nipper's house
best even though there was a year's difference in their ages. His mother
wondered if Chandler could spend the first week of November at Nipper's
house. That just happened to be the same week as the cruise. Mary said they
would be gone on a cruise, but they had reserved space for four kids, and
maybe Chandler could go with them. After all of the dust settled, that was
what they agreed to. Chandler was going to take T's place.

Nipper was excited about that. While Chandler was straight, the eighth
grader had become one of his best friends. He also was good in bed and
could out drink some of the high school boys at the parties at the
house. And while it meant Nipper would have two friends to his none,
Douglas was agreeable. For one thing, he found Chandler to be good in bed,
too.

*****

Chandler stayed at Nipper's house the next weekend. He was excited about
joining Nipper, Douglas, and Tyler on the cruise. The four of them went to
the high school football game on Friday. T was also with them. They waited
for him after the game, which they won 27-14.

The boys drank beer, smoked weed, and talked about the fun things they
would be doing on the cruise. They finished off the evening with some
rousing good sex before slowly tripping out and falling asleep. Chandler
had been the first of the five to trip out and leave. He had consumed a six
pack of beer, the second most behind the much bigger Travis.

*****

That same weekend the Carter brothers had some beer and weed of their
own. Ben knew an older kid he could buy his weed from. Beer was no
problem. His dad bought beer for him, as long as Ben paid for it. Trevor
enjoyed their drinking and toking sessions the most, and by the time the
evening was done, all the brothers were wasted. Trevor had tried to finish
a six pack, but once again he started tripping out on the weed and came up
a beer and half short.

All four brothers were excited about the upcoming cruise. Marie, Luke, and
Nathan were going to be left behind and watched by their grandparents. It
was felt they were still too young to go.

"I wonder if we'll meet any other boys," Andrew asked.

"Or girls," Trevor added.

"We might," Ben said. "But I doubt we'll meet any gay boys or boys who want
to play around. Trevor might have the most luck when it comes to sex."

"I know I won't meet anybody," Greg said.

"You don't know that," Ben told him. "You have to think better of yourself,
Greg."

Greg scoffed and took a big swallow of beer. Amazing how Andrew, Trevor,
and Greg can down their beer at a young age, Ben thought. Ben hadn't
started drinking until 8th grade, which was when he and his three brothers
got started. His older friend Jon introduced him to weed, and when Trevor
caught Ben smoking it he said the only way he wouldn't rat him out was if
he could smoke it too. That, of course got the other brothers into it, and
sometimes their friends. A party at the Carter house almost always included
beer, weed, and boy sex.

*****

When Douglas got home on Monday he saw the complete itinerary for the
cruise. He picked it up and read it. They were to leave Seattle at 6:45 for
Houston on Friday, October 29th; change planes in Houston; land in
Fort.Lauderdale at 5pm; and stay Friday night at the Palmland Suites
hotel. The hotel would shuttle them to the "Golden Princess".  He was
interested to see that there would be a Halloween costume party on
Halloween evening. That sounded interesting. He and Nipper would need
costumes, and they would have to tell Tyler and Chandler about the party so
they could get costumes, too.

They had a two cabin suite at the stern of the ship on deck 8. Each cabin
had a balcony.

*****

Mark Carter read the trip itinerary to the family after dinner. "We will
leave on a morning flight for Atlanta on Friday the 29th. Then we take a
flight to Ft. Lauderdale. We will be staying at the Palmland Suites
hotel. The hotel has shuttle service to the "Golden Princess" Saturday
morning.

The four boys poured over all the information after their dad was finished
talking. They would have a suite of two cabins at the stern of the ship on
deck 8. Each cabin would even have a balcony.

"Hey, look at this," Trev said. "There's going to be a costume party on
Halloween. This is going to be so fun.." Trev and Andrew had both forgotten
about their constant complaining about missing Halloween.

Dad read about the party and said they would have to get costumes. He
wondered how that would affect the first formal dress dinner, which was
usually held the night of the first full day out at sea. He figured with
Halloween being on that day, it would probably be held the second night
out. Either way, everybody would have good dress clothes to wear.

*****

The month of September crawled by. For the VA boys, Trevor was playing
football as quarterback of his school's 7th grade team, Andrew and Greg
were playing soccer, and Ben was running cross-country at the high school.
Andrew was an outstanding soccer player, but Greg was just learning. He was
having fun, however, and showing tremendous improvement. Ben loved the act
of running and enjoyed the competition of cross-country. Ben was also in a
play that would be presented the weekend before they left. He was glad
there was no conflict. He would have hated having to choose between the
play and the cruise.

For the WA boys, Douglas was enjoying not playing a sport, but was very
busy with student government. Nipper and Tyler were both playing
soccer. Like Greg, Tyler was in his first year of playing, and like Greg,
by working hard he was showing great improvement. Chandler was the
quarterback for his middle school's football team. Unlike Trevor, he was
playing flag football instead of tackle.

October arrived. The boys stayed busy. Suddenly new shorts had to be
purchased. New swimming suits. New shirts. New shoes. Everybody was antsier
as the end of October arrived. Ben, Douglas, Nipper, and Andrew all
purchased Speedos. They were ready to look sexy. Trevor, Greg, Chandler,
and Tyler all got new board shorts. Trevor and Chandler were getting what
they thought would impress the girls. The other boys wanted to look good
for what other boys might be on the cruise.

The weekend before the cruise was suddenly here. It was greeted in similar
ways at both ends of the continent.

*****

In VA it meant going to Ben's play Friday and Saturday nights. Ben went to
the cast party on Saturday. It was a no-alcohol party, but was great
fun. The play had been a huge success. The boys had had a party the weekend
before. Their friends Kiran, Spencer, Gary, Mark, Jason, and Kyle had all
come over the Saturday before. It had been a weekend of beer, weed, and
sex.

In WA the party had been the weekend before departure. Everybody wished the
boys a good time. Douglas said it was too bad they didn't have beer and
weed sex parties for kids on the ship. Travis told him he didn't think
there was any restriction against sex on a cruise ship, so maybe he would
luck out by finding some cute guys.

*****

It was now Friday, October 29th. The excitement was at a peak. Everybody
was up early to do the last minute packing and to catch planes. For the
boys on both sides of the continent, the flights were both exciting and
boring. But the boring part really hit the west coast boys harder, because
their flight was a lot longer. Fortunately, most of the boys were readers,
and books helped fight their boredom. When reading got old they had their
video games to keep them occupied at well. It was the first flight ever for
Greg and Tyler. The rest of the boys had flown at some time in their
lives. To make things worse, every one of the eight boys got horny at one
time or another which, on occasion, led to a quick grope either friend to
friend or brother to brother, but nothing more serious ensued.

It was late afternoon when two Continental Airlines jets landed within
fifteen minutes of each other. The Daniels party landed first. They
unloaded and headed quickly for the baggage claim area.

As he started helping pick up the luggage that dropped on the carousel,
Douglas noticed a family with four boys enter the baggage area. He prodded
Nipper, who looked over. Both of the brothers loved looking at other boys,
and these boys were no exception.

Douglas looked over Ben first. He loved the freckle faced look and the
rusty colored hair. Nipper poked Douglas as he saw the next two boys.

"Twins. And they are HOT!" Douglas couldn't help but agree as he saw Trevor
and Andrew. Lastly they saw a smaller but very cute boy as Greg came into
sight.

"Wouldn't it be cool if they were on our cruise," Nipper said.

"Dream on," Douglas replied.

Tyler caught a brief glimpse of Greg and couldn't take his eyes off
him. Chandler's eyes were caught by the twins, particularly the one with
the intense look on his face. While he had played around with boys, he had
never really looked at one going by the way he had looked at girls going
by. That is, looked at a guy and felt his dick start to harden just by
looking at him. But Trevor was having that effect on him.

*****

 As the Carter boys entered the baggage they saw the family getting their
baggage.  They, too, decided to enjoy looking at a little eye candy. Ben
looked at Douglas and felt a sudden stirring in his groin. Douglas looked
to be about his size, but carried himself like he might be a little
older. No matter, Ben found him to be very attractive.

Andrew found himself looking at Nipper. He too started feeling
something. That is one hot boy, he thought.

Greg was immediately attracted to Tyler's red hair. He found the other boys
nice to look at, but Tyler was the one who held his eye.

Trev was looking around to see if there were any girls to scope. Instead
his wandering eye stopped at Chandler. The athletic looking boy somehow
fascinated him. Like Chandler, he was interesting in scoping out the girls
first even though he didn't mind sex with boys. But he rarely found himself
just looking at them. Yet, he couldn't take his eyes off Chandler.

Ben turned to Andrew. "They're scoping us out you know. I bet they're here
for a cruise."

"I know. Wouldn't it be cool if they were on our cruise?"

"Yeah, they are kind of hot. But that's really asking for a lot."

*****

Mr. Daniels had called the hotel for a van. Their wait was a short
one. They climbed in and were shuttled to the Palmland Suites. When they
arrived Douglas noticed the shuttle pickup schedule for the cruise
ships. There were nine ships going out the next day. Mr. Daniels signed up
for the "Golden Princess." They had to be checked out and in the lobby by
10am.

The family had a suite of two rooms. They took their suitcases up and
headed for the Burger King across the street to grab eats. The boys
couldn't help but notice the pool. They knew where they would be as soon as
they returned from BK.

As they left the hotel another hotel van pulled up. The Carter family
unloaded and checked in and went up to their suite. As they unpacked and
settled in the Daniels family returned from eating, ready to head for the
pool. As they got into their rooms the Carter family left for the BK to
eat.

In the boys room all four boys put on their board shorts. Nipper and
Douglas wanted to save their Speedos for the ship or for a beach at a port
of call. They grabbed towels and headed for the pool, dragging Mrs. Daniels
with them to watch them.

While they played at the pool, the Carter family came back. The boys begged
to go down to the pool until it closed at 10pm. It was 7pm now. The
scrambled into their swim suits and Mark and Mary Carter both followed them
down to the pool.

*****

The Daniels party boys had been splashing around for almost a half
hour. The splashing included some crotch grabbing, but since the pool was a
little crowded they didn't do any skin on skin grabbing. They were busy
swimming, chasing. grabbing and laughing when Douglas noticed the door
between the pool and the hotel opening. Much to his amazement, the four
boys from the airport baggage claim area walked in.

"Nipper! Look who just came into the pool area!"

Nipper looked up, as did Tyler and Chandler. The boys entering the dark
pool area could tell some other people were there, but couldn't make out
who they were. It wasn't until they actually entered the pool itself that
they realized the same boys they'd seen at the airport were in the pool.

"Hey," Douglas said, "I think we saw you guys at the airport."

"Yeah," Ben replied. "I remember seeing you."

"Are you guys going on a cruise? We are."

"Yeah. What ship are you guys on?"  I hope he says the "Golden Princess",
Ben thought. It would be cool to be with somebody we get to know before we
actually get on the boat. And besides, he's cute and I can at least look at
him.

"We're on the `Golden Princess'. What about you?" Please say the "Golden
Princess", even though I know there's only one chance in nine.

"Wow! We're on the same ship! This is so cool." All eight boys were
excited.

There was a pool ball on the deck, and the boys soon started playing keep
away and having fun. They found out they liked each other and really got
along well, especially after hearing they would be on the same cruise ship
together. By 9 pm they found themselves tired and they quieted down. Not
only that, they found themselves pairing off at the sides of the pool with
the boys who had caught their eyes in the airport. In a way, the cruise had
started a night early.
